HICS - 2011 OVERVIEW
This year was a good growing year as far as weather and that devastating windstorm a month or so back, We did not get nearly the "good rains" we really needed but I ain't lazy. I saw the same typical chopers around, but they were just making their way somewhere else.
I did run into some issues though and they are as stated. I ran into a huge slug problem this year and I am convinced I know why. This year I made my own dirt "heck went as far as collecting hundreds of worms by myself" and with all that good warm watered soil nearby and with no rain in the sping the slugs were drawn to them by means for survival. I will remedy this next year by "laying down the copper". The other bigger issue I had was when a farmer for some reason used weed killer this year "well I'll be damned after how many years of not using it"?. I also had what seems to be a nice family move into a longed repoed house so they are only figmented memories now. I also had a hell of a windstorm take my ladies on the ride of their lives.
All in all it was one of the least stressfull years I have had in a while purely because no money was expected for my work. I did this for me,myself and I and for all of you that need some beans for a good harvest next year. I do admit that that offer stands only to those who are anyone on this thread, and to friends of course. That amount of carefree I felt with the grow, was really something else and will do it again soon enough for sure...just not next year!
The mandala1,WW and the hashberry did not come out...thus being the biggest PRO in the indoor world is the CONTROL you have. I am a outdoor grower at heart simply because there are NO LIMITS I can plant as many as I want, they can get as big as they can, I can pollinate without a silly ol male and female chambers, My pot has the ability to become all it can simply because I CANNOT CONTROL it to a point, and it is left to make up its own mind on what it is to become. I only help it on its path of life.
Well next year I gotta couple new faces to bring to the game, but as far as anything being 100% yet I am far from that point. I gotta couple months here I am just gonna kinda think of the "caregiving thing" and a few other issues I got on the plate until the end of DEC. Then right around then I will begin selection of a mother of to take cuttings for 2012. Not many, maybe 12 or so gotta leave openings for a few old faces and a few new.
One more thing next year I will have a few autos in the ground! just in case I smoke too much this winter. Now remember you have met smart people at the bar and you have met idiots at the bar. There is a person behind each profession your doctor might go home and break up some of them pills after work, and take a toot! Your postman maybe a child at heart!. You never can really tell about who someone is by what they do, As in the case of LEO there are good people that due that job, do not let the people that tell them what to do make them look like bad people...they have to do what they do because they have to, not because they want to. That being said I want everyone to undestand that they are REAL too, they are just on a string much like many of you. So if you guys wanna hate someone hate the retarts that make the laws.. I am by no means a cop.. I wanted to join the F.B.I. once but due to the fact I could not even finish high school they would not have me so- that sucks... that's a rap
