Growitup Greenhouse 2011

[cruzer101]

Well from my observations....seems to me that the Fed first threw their weight into the game when a few of the States and County governments decided to get into the grow/sell business. Then....in for a pound kinda thing...the Fed appeared to have concerns over local governments getting too favorable towards the industry, given that revenue could be easily had which is greatly needed in this economy. I'm pro legalization....but things were getting a bit iffy. I'm hoping that local commissions/government, organized crime, and greedy business is the Fed target to keep out of the medical marijuana movement. And nothing more than that.

Hopefully, once reined in, the personal grower, caretakers, and local co-ops will be left alone. Hang in there Cruz....I'm hoping things end in your favor. Just keep yer head down for awhile.

Well that sure makes a whole lot of sense. I hope that's the case as well.
I read yesterday that a new poll was taken and 50% are for total legalization.

Marijuana Legalization Receives 50 Percent Support In New Poll

Honestly I am not for total legalization mainly because I feel young people of today lack guidance. Responsible use of the drug for relaxation/recreational purposes, sure I don't see any harm in that. As a matter of fact I see it less harmful then alcohol. I think we should stick to medical purposes and weed out the people who got there recommendation on false grounds. I think although the people want it regulated by the state, the state is afraid of repercussions from the Federal government so they drag their heels and in the mean time it's abused. Unfortunately unless the government comes to terms with the states and the people in general our politicians on the state level lack guidance as well... I don't know, I think I am talking myself into it now. Maybe that's the only way we can get the feds to play ball.

Got me a baby Bubba Kush! she just droped her seed case yesterday weee

how long till you sample the bubba cruz?

Well a hell of a lot sooner then you, LOL
I sample after 2 or 3 days in paper bags. I'll let you know tomorrow.

so if yall were wondering why you should give a fuck about the presidential candidates

heres a tid bit for you guys, after researching all the current presidential candidates, I came across something very scary,

candidate newt Gingrich has stated he will create death penalties for possession of greater than 2 oz of marijuana, and he has already tried to pass a bill like this when he was speaker of the house!

holy crap

No shit, just shows to go ya how backwards those guys are.

OK, little update on the grow.
Bubba smells great when I shake the bag. I open and shake it once a day to rotate the buds.
Train wreck will come down tomorrow and go in bags.

Temps are mild now, around 80° inside the green house. The two large Tangerine Dreams are filling out now. Still all white pistils and growing but starting to sag from the weight. About time I start tying up instead of down.

Heres the colas behind the 2x4

You would think I would be done training by now. I cant reach just the top to bend it over some so every couple days I gotta tug the whole branch down again.
I should have left the dam cover the size it was.

 

[lonestand]

Im betting you end up with 9 lbs this year from the green house

 

[billcollector99]

Damn they are looking great Cruze, Filling in nicely now! Gonna be some uplifting smoke it looks like!!

 

[cruzer101]

Thanks guys.
I don't know man, I think you are high on your estimate. My guess would be half that.

Funny thing. Before I planted I thought by this time the Tangerine Dream was going to max out at 7 or maybe 8 feet and be done. That was a guess cause when I looked I didn't find any outdoor grows where they vegged all summer. So now we know...

My guesses suck.

 

[lonestand]

well i have done my reaserch on this strain too, and i do rember that it was metioned to be a huge plant out doors in high times, but it also was said to be a very dense plant. so im still thinken that with the less spiermites this year the green house total would go up 2 lbs from last year.

it was 7 right?



so how tall are your tangerines now? and im thinking thier swell is going to be impressive

 

[cruzer101]

Yeah, that's about right for last year, The center beam is at eight feet so my tallest girl is right there.
I didn't see that article in High Times. Did it have any pics?

 

[lonestand]

nope just a picture of the bud, and descried the plant. you are doing some groundbreaking work here documenting an actual out door tangerine grow, i have yet to see another jsut a few indoor runs.

 

[billcollector99]

Finally made it outside my house Cruze. The eagle has left the roost

Perhaps not legalization but decriminalization seems appropriate at the least, with legalization for medicinal purposes. No reason to go for jail for pot. Its natural, it can't kill you and its f*&$ing beautiful.

Right on. Well, I guess that's what this site is all about huh. Sharing info in order to get opinions and help others. I know it helps me grow better plants. I go back and look at previous grows all the time.

Roger that. Will keep a heads up for incoming from Whiskey Hotel.

I totally agree with you..

Ok bubbas been jarred up. I burned a doob and she burned fine. Not quite as potent as the cab grow, taste was still kinda funky but that's to be expected I'm used to cured stuff. I'm sure it will be fine after a month. I'll take my share and get the rest to the dispensary today. Train wreck is in paper bags now.

The girls are starting to sag, all this training has produced long stems and some are not strong enough to hold the weight so I started tying up and noticed I lost a lot of the second plant in the front row. The main colas were buried in the canopy and didn't get enough light but whats there is actually further along the the one in the front. I'm thinking they are next.

This morning I checked on the cab. I was going to water last night but thought I would go one more day. Check out the tall one in the back,

One hour after watering,

Amazing what a little water will do.
They are doing much better now that I've had them a couple weeks. Mites are gone, less red in the stems and all the new growth is perfect.

See the one with the fatter leaves, That's suppose to be either grand daddy purple or green crack.
I'll take a couple cuttings from her.

Oh yea, those other cutting I had in there, the little buds from by friends house and a few I took from my girls are all gone. The little buds got all fuzzy and I figured I had these Tanges going now I didnt need the little ones.

OK, well this thread was closed somehow and I emailed Pot roast he got back to me in a couple hours.
Said it wasn't logged who did it and it may have been me. I don't know.

During that couple hours I got to thinking about current events and although I am a small time grower and stay within the state laws I decided it just ant worth it.
The local dispensaries are shutting down, I got nowhere for all this to go. I'm shutting down and gonna toss most of this. I got enough already to last till next year.
I deleted all my pics and vids and I'm out.

This time, I closed the thread.

 

[lonestand]
