Glad to be back online for a bit to see your progress Cruzer. We made it to Cali, got jobs, got an apartment, and I got my "card" today!!!. The job did not work out (probably because of the damn hair follicle drug test I failed) so we're moving out of the apartment they provided as a perk. We're moving from Clovis to Oakhurst, a very nice little town that we fell in love with earlier this year.

So I'll be in the market next week for some clones! What strain would you recommend? Your blue dream seemed to be the cats meow but that's from memory.
Nice pot pimp Oakhurst i work up there!!! they have some good clones down in clovis!!

Welcome to Cali bud! Yea, i got family down in Clovis.
Really the cats meow of this last grow was Casey Jones. Sure the Blue dream came in a close second but for quality of bud and amount I'd have to say Casey Jones. More resistant to spider mites too. I would ask your local dispensaries what is needed in your area. Sativias are big, purps too.

Not to sound redundant, BUUUUT nice roots bro. Seriously. If I didn't know any better I'd assume you fed them steroids and doused the roots in bleach. I like root porn better than bud porn when they look that nice. Hell most of the time I don't even see roots that nice around here. I'd trust you with MY clones any day Cruzer :-D

Hahaha. Yea that was my friend's nephew on Halloween. There's an APP in the iPhone store called "Fat Booth" that tweaks your picture and makes you fat. You just take a face shot, line up a couple dots over the eyes and chin and VOILA instant obesity. I think the clown shot is the creepiest one yet. I tried my dog and she ended up looking like a buffalo.

Thanks guys, yea its winter so I'm using a heater to keep the res at 68°
This round I thought I would try a different nutrient. I bought some Pura Vida and used it in soil this last round.
I read the label and it said I could use it in hydro too. I figured what the hell I got a bunch left I'll give it a shot.
Works just as good as flora nova grow and lighter color roots.

The snood looked like a buffalo?
Ha! With that skinny snout.

Yea dude it was priceless. It's not on my phone anymore, I'll take another one when I'm home later. New avatar :D.

EDIT : Pura Vida is pretty good in hydro. That's what my buddy uses in his bucket bubbler set up. Er, DWC w/e.

you know if you dropped the res temp the water would have more oxygen. it should be around 58-60

Thanks everyone.

I had visitors today while I was working on the hydro.
Five under cover officers from the Police department showed up at my gate. I opened the gate and went out and closed it and said whats up?

First they showed me a pic of my nephew and asked me if I knew this man. I said yes, that's my nephew, He moved to Arizona years ago. They said he has a warrant, I said that's why he moved to AZ.

He says "The reason we are out here is a neighbor of yours has reported marijuana cultivation in your yard, are you cultivating marijuana?" I say yes and I am legal. Showed them my card and drivers license as ID. They asked if they could see them and I told them I just cut them down but I will show you the greenhouse I built to keep kids from getting a hold of it. We went out there and they checked it out. I told them they got bigger then I thought they would and showed them the plastic roof I took off. They asked how many plants I grew, I said six, you can see where I removed the bricks. One of them said its the smell that prompted the visit and I should do something about that and fish emulsion will help with the smell. I said I would try that and get a charcoal filter and keep the roof on next time.

That was it. They left.
It was a rush. Even though I am legal I was still shaken a bit.

So, anyways heres a couple shots of the hydro, I had to use a larger pump (500gph) to get it to work when I brought it all the way up but shes ready now.




Here you see where I placed the sprayers,








I sealed it back up and I am testing it now.

Damn! what a story cruzer. once the neighbors get a whiff of the fish emulsion, I'm sure they aint gonna be complaining about the smell of marijuana anymore and are actually gonna start liking the smell of maryjane as opposed to fish emulsion.. I swear, fish emulsion smells just like rotten pussy! that shit stanks wicked!!! lol

well glad to hear that all went well. i have read stories of even legal people getting "harrassed" more than you, as I am sure you have. Not sure about that fish emulsions thing actually helping with the monsters you had!!

if they had come when you had the most of your harvest, could they have done because of you being over the weight limit? or do you think it would have went down about the same way? i am sure you were pretty nervous, even being legal

the hydro looks good and ready to fill up :D do you think you will have issues with the weight of the plants causing the gutter tube to sway or lean badly?

That story they told is inconsistant as hell. But you probably caught that part. First it was about your nephew, then it was about a neighbor, then it was the smell that tipped them off. They were fishing for idiots and thank the Ganj Lord you aren't one. Nice progress too Cruzer. Another awesome journal in the works. So did you decide to stick with Pura Vida?

To compensate for sway, attach two ropes on each side instead of one.
Use a V shape for increased stability.

I hear ya, I almost puked when I added it to the soil last round. But come on, what would you rather smell.
Nothing I guess. Check this out,

<snip>

A Redwood Valley man is telling his marijuana-growing neighbors to put their money where his nose is.

James Kerr decided the smell of James and Nancy Matthews's pot plants was too much, so on Friday, Kerr filed a civil suit in Mendocino County Superior Court.

"People can do something about the stench of marijuana gardens in their neighborhood," Kerr said. "It doesn't matter whether growing medical marijuana is legal or not. All you have to do is convince a judge or jury that the smell is offensive and interferes with your enjoyment of life or property, and you can be awarded monetary damages."

Kerr hopes to convince a judge or jury he lost the use of his property and suffered general damage because of the unpleasant smells. He filed an unlimited civil suit, which means he is seeking more than $25,000.

The suit alleges the Matthewses are creating a nuisance and are liable for it. According to the California Civil Code, a nuisance results from "anything which is injurious to health, or is indecent or offensive to the senses, so as to interfere with the comfortable enjoyment of life or property."

I guess I should get a charcoal filter going.

Thats what I said, I removed the roof so it wouldnt matter if I tried to clean the air last round but future grows will be more manageable.
I have heard of people with just a script getting busted but then let go and loose all there meds. Things are changing though. I have a script, I showed them I was growing six plants for personal use. They didn't search or ask how much I got, didn't even ask to go into the house.

I wasnt sure about that part, if they came when the plants were growing I'm sure they would have seen the weight but no, the state law says a single person can have up to six flowering plants. It does not have a size limit. So I would have been ok. The law has changed here in my county, here there really is no limit to the amount you can possess. The law states you can possess as much as needed to keep you medicated from what I understand. If there was nothing set by the county it would default to the state limit, thats six plants. Or with a state card 99 and eight oz's of dried flowers.

Yea the hydro is ready to go, No weight issues, hell, I could probably sit on the thing and swing. Thats not a cutter tube, Thats a 4" pvc fence post. pretty strong,

Could be they thought my nephew still lived here and came over because he has an outstanding warrant.
Yea gonna stay with Pura Vida, with some cal mag and Im gonna run that SR-22 stuff on and off. with neem treatments.

Im not worried about sway.
