the whole end of this thread really threw me off... i went from laughing out loud in excitement and disbelief to an entire article that was ridiculously long... couldnt a link have been just as helpful, knickers?
and JJ... good great grow my man.. really envious. i also had a knee surgery, a uni condylar replacement. had it on july 7th. i transplanted on july 6th, 3 foot tall plants... i came back around aug 22 for the first time, and all my plants were 6-10 feet tall and super healthy and bushy.. nothing like yours, but i was so amazed! they're really filling out now, as are yours... +REP man as much as i can give for being a true man, and getting back on that ladder and really pouring your heart into this grow.
edit: some pics of my garden growth 1/2- july 6th 3/4/5- aug 22 6- sept 11
