If it makes you feel better, your pictures were the best ones! Most of them are folks I would consider friends and it was hard to choose of course.
Additionally yours were some of the first threads I read on here and you deserve mad props for the work and sharing you have done around here. You don't know me, I never said anything to you I don't think but I appreciate the things you have done and the cool pictures you put up to vote on as I am sure many people do. You made an honest apology, that's good now buck up feller.

Your a good man Charlie Brown!

Hey Jig..How was the Blink182 concert? I hope you had a great time. When I was a teenage lad in the 70's I use to go to the Philadelphia Spectrum (RIP) almost every Friday night. Usually a 3 band line up and tickets were less than 5 bucks!! It was called a "Dance Concert" where first come, first serve for seating. We would make our way to the stage and proceeds to get our ears blasted for 2-3 hours by a massive wall of speakers. My ears would ring for 2-3 days afterwards!! In Allentown Pa, there was a 250 seat venue/movie theatre (The Roxy) that the local undergound radio station would sponsor up and coming bands. Tickets were 1-2 dollars...I knew a girl whos brother-in-law was a DJ at the station and we used to sometimes get in for free. In that movie theatre I saw....AC/DC, with the original singer Bonn Scott, Rush, Golden Earring, Judas Priest, The Tubes, Trapeze, Roy Woods Wizard and one for you English mates, Status Quo. There were others, but 35+ years has passed and they're the shows that stand out in my memory. Most I saw for free but never paid more than $2 US for the rest. I actually met Rush in person backstage. Geddy Lee was an arrogant asshole who didn't have the time of day for some young, long haired, American fan. The other 2 members were genuinely friendly and actuall conversed with us. For the record, you didn't offend me....you've been nothing but gentlemanly and helpful to me!! Peace my friend! :leaf:

Thanks for the support cowboy. I'm always glad to hear from a 'new' old friend. Getting recognized for putting in the effort I put in is nice. I try to be a good RIU member at all times, and do my best to put a lot of info and pictures out there to teach, entertain, and bring some positivity to the world. Thanks for speaking up.

agreed :-) at least you can rest KNOWING your pics were the best. Cheers Jig.
Aint that the truth. Cheers whodat. Still sucks a bit though. Ah well... some people just can't be dealt with... just walk to the other side of the street.

Oh, btw, you're going to love that kandy kush
I sure hope it's a girl then!!!

That's awesome Mauler. The concert was awesome. The two main bands were so different in their approach to a show that it was hard to say which I liked better. My Chemical Romance were much more into the music in a way. Their set was much smaller, the screens around the venue only had them on it... meaning video cameras were on the band members performing. The sound was around a 4-5 compared to blink's 10. I was left with their songs ringing inside my heart. Blink on the other had just put on a freaking over the top, wild Experience. Their set was Huge... they were running around the entire stage (which is a big one). The sound was from another planet. Every hit of a bongo shook ones soul... and travis the drummer plays a mean drumset. The bass was just rediculous. The lights were amazing, lazers and strobes and all kinds of different lights. They had a drumset arm/crane thing that went out over the crowd and up about 75 feet. That was wild. I left blink not really with anything in my head... just buzzing all over my body and ears.

I used to go to a lot of shows when I was a teenager in San Diego. It's pretty cool to look back and try to remember having seen almost every band I ever cared about. Most of them many many times. The only shame is that I was super drunk and or high for all of them and can't remember much. Oh well. At least I was there, hehe.

Hey brother.

What's up? How are your plants doing?

Well, hope life is good.

Things are ok J. I've been getting a lot done around the house. Winter is entrenching less slowly that I would prefer and forcing me to wrap up all the outside projects I can before there's snow. I was working in 50 degree rain last week... that's no fun, but a lot better than 20 degrees and windy, with snow everywhere.

Yesterday was a not so fun one. One year and one day ago was when Wifey and I had to rush to the hospital to deliver our baby at 21 weeks into pregnancy. He didn't survive labor. We were waiting to find out the sex till birth, so that was the first I knew he was my son. We didn't have a name for him. The name we put on the death certificate was Baby Fresh (with fresh representing our last name). We always 'joked' how shitty it was that my wife had to go through labor just like everyone else... only she didn't get a baby for it, AND we had to sign a damned death certificate. Someone who has a kid said the birth certificates look the same. I'll always miss my little buddy.

As of right now, my wife was supposed to have her period a couple days ago... and her temperatures (women can do this crazy thing called temping where they take their temp first thing upon waking up and it tells you shit about your cycle and helps to conceive) have been elevated, which means she is most likely pregnant. And we will most likely be looking at a June baby. All spare thoughts can be directed towards my wife's belly. Would be much appreciated.

What up Jig. Top o the morn to you my friend!
Thanks bro. Bet you are getting excited to harvest your plant. A word of warning... you are going to need spring loaded scissors... and you are going to HATE trimming.

how them gals doing jig?
Gals are doing ok G. I wish they were better... but they are how they are. I took some pictures as they were begin relocated the other day. They are now in the flooded tubes with some crazy fencing going on around them. I'll upload some of the pics now... then take a couple of what they are like now... and post those later.

Thanks for stopping by fellas. Really appreciate it.

PICTURE TIME: +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

So I got some more 'screen' for the closet. This is what I use. I think it's only available in the South West US. It's stucco backing and I don't think yall use stucco in other part... maybe you do? You gotta cut off the paper which can be fun for 3 minutes and annoying for another 5 or 10, lol. The squares are 2" x 2" and I like how bendable it is... not hard to cut or bend, but holds it shape. This cost $8.50 or so. I think it's 8" x 4"... maybe longer.

I use RO water to make my ice. Apparently there is a phenomenon that happens when you use purified water to make ice.

ICE SPIKES!!!!

SAM_0186.jpgSAM_0185.jpg

I took a picture of my closet with nothing in it... just for fun.

SAM_0188.jpg

I killed two plants. Well I don't know if it was me... but they just refused to grow roots. It was so weird... you'll see the difference in roots with the other ones. Strange. The bigger plant is the J-1, the smaller one is Heri X NBD. :( :(

SAM_0189.jpgSAM_0190.jpgSAM_0191.jpgSAM_0192.jpg

These 5 pics are of the Herijuana. She was way too tall for me, but I didn't want to top her... that was the best part of her. So I broke a bitch. I pinched her down low twice and bent her a couple new ones. There was no way my fingers were going to damage the stalk down there, so I used two batteries and sorta sandwiched the stalk with them... make sense? Haha, I thought not. I did the same treatment to the tall D-OG plant I had. She is on the other side of the closet.

Here is the lone NY-47. Looking like a nice little plant.

SAM_0204.jpgSAM_0205.jpg

This is the OG Kush plant. The parent of the infamous DOG kush.

And last but not least are the 5 - D-OG Kush plants:

SAM_0209.jpgSAM_0210.jpgSAM_0203.jpgSAM_0214.jpg

That's it. I'll snap a pic or two of what they look like now. But I'll make a new post for it. You are excused now, lol.

Hi Jig,

A right line up ahead. The DOG's love bening supercropped and I find they react very well. You can get the thinner branches (if you are careful when bending ewtc) to produce some solid nugs. Will be interesting to see how the famous OG Kush seed turns out, lol.

Peace to you bru,

D

Thanks Mauler. And yeah I mean those. Gonna be a 'fun' time for sure.

Lol D. The dog didn't survive the supercropping. She dead. The other plant I broke kept going strong. There is one little tiny branch that is below the breaks. I'll leave that one see if I can get a gram off her. Maybe even a seed or two. :) The OG is looking real good so far.

You got it buddy. Sending all my positive energy.
Thanks Jesse. I appreciate it.

G'morning Jig. How goes it up North??
It's good, although I'm not North of much aside Mexico. I'm more in the sky.

cold and windy I bet lol, any more bears seen lately?
It's actually been warm. The cat's have gotten to have the windows open all night in the cat house. It's wild, down the hill in the Los Angeles basin it's been getting up to 100 f... that's like 37+ to you mate.

I have to say, I was a bit disturbed reading about Fred West. I have no idea if that's why peeps on here call you fred, either way... that dude wasn't very nice. I also recently looked up some clips of Rab c. LOL... I'm sure it's really funny... but I can't understand a fookin word. It makes me laugh just to feel so clueless watching.

EDIT: When I read your post I thought you said beans, as in seeds. Was thinking it was code or something, lolol... I left what I said cause it's funny to me. And yeah, we saw the bear about a week ago. Scared the shit out of me. /EDIT

No more beans yet... but haven't been to the post in a few days. We don't get delivery here in the mountains, just PO boxes. That is an exciting questions though. I know I have one package on the way, maybe there are more. How intriguing.

No baby this round. I'm back off the pot. Gonna try harder this month. There is good news though. The trip we were planning to the uk is on because we don't have to worry about pregnancy issues. Figured out the dates last night. Wife's parents are going to take a vacation of their own to Cali to watch the house and cats for the month we are away. Lucky them... and Lucky us.

Life is good. Yet I am still in a bad mood most of the time. Grrrr.

Took a stray cat to the vet today to be fixed. Never much fun trapping and driving a wild cat around town. 30 minute drive as well.

Plants are starting to stink. I'll take a pic right now. God these plants look like shit. You'd think I didn't know what I was doing. Never again will it be like this... mark my words.

(almost) Dead Dog:


OG Kush:

Hey Jig. What's up my friend. Question......Do you ever have root clogging issues? Is there a screen to keep the roots from flowing to next plants roots? Inquiring minds want to know...

I have had issues with the roots clogging up the whole tube. That happened on my Sour Kush grow (the one for which this thread was started). I vegged the clones (which were already rooted) for 3 or 4 weeks. That plus the flowering time meant the water started spilling out the plant holes. Definitely not a good scene. That is one of the reasons I have gone to less veg time, so the roots don't get too big. I'm not worried about the roots overlapping, so there is no separating of them. They do overlap a bit, but the bulk of the roots is close to the plant and in between plants. When they overlap it is just the end of the roots from the one going under the bulk of the next. I don't see them as fighting for food or anything. And they don't really grow 'into' each other at all. When I end up pulling them out at the end they aren't tangled at all.

Thanks for the question.

EDIT: Here's a couple pics of the ghetto fix I made for the leaking water. The tape is holding up a piece of plastic helping the water drip into the cup that has tubes that run into the plant site below. Pretty funny looking. You can kinda see the green slick on the tube behind the paint. Pretty gross.

A man's gotta do what a man's gotta do. As long as it gets the job done. Granted, with that leak, that setup won't be the centerfold for High Times. Peace

All I remember of that deal is that I found it strange they would have to demolish the home completely and entirely (burnt and pulverized) to discourage people from collecting the remnants. That guy was a sick fuck, I can't imagine people wanting to have a piece of that history.
