He passed away on 9/23. He had been very sick with a failing liver for a long time. I'll pass along everyone's condolences to his wife. I was actually about to start a thread wondering if anyone knew how to get in touch with Brick Top. Apparently they were close back in the day and some people have said he should be told and Kite's wife asked if I could.
RIP Illumination/Kite High! You're greatly missed brother!

You know what is really strange. This is what I had on 9/22

Dude that's what made me wonder, ih hadn't seen him on here in ages and then found the uva/uvb thread and my heart sank. Such a cool dude that was always willing to give good advice!

Edit- just saw the twins, nice one Kite, you've done your mate well :)

Haha He'll be up there watching and shouting "keep the leaves green damn it!! "

Honestly the guy touched my life in a big way, I have taken several tips from him which have made me better grower, like topping for 4 colas. Telling me not to ph my feed in soil, teling me that c99 is a cal/mg whore. I've taken all those tips and now the other tips he gave me but haven't used yet will be used in this grow, those tips being NO Bloom food and NO flush. Things are already looking FAR better without the bloom food.

The guy was a legend and even though I never met him or knew him well I will always remember.

The twins are looking nice Puff! Are you journaling them?
Hopefully soon I can pop some nice sats in his memory. A mutual friend is sharing some Mailaian Highlands x (Sour Diesel x Columbian Gold) beans that should fit the bill nicely.

These are CN's seeds and my work. On 9/13 I popped 10 C99s. I flipped them to flower a few days ago and last night on inspection I have 9 females and 1 lonely male and he is a very nice looker (he's sitting a little separate on the far left of the image under the thermometers)! I have never had any genetics (even from female seeds), grow as robustly or show sex so quickly. I am impressed.

Thank you kite :) seems as if you are still spreading that grow mojo of yours.

Holy shit.... I dont even know where to start. Lumi, I love you bro! Its been a few months since Ive been on any boards unless looking up something. As I was doing over at RM3. That was about 3 hours ago and I have yet to stop crying... This is a true loss. He was a huge presence at this site long before he was known as Kite High. Illumination got caught up in one of RIU's famous banning sweeps in early '11 I believe it was.



See you on the flip side Illumination, aka Lumi, aka Kite High... Max

Damn!! Had heard this news a month or so back, didn't/couldn't find the thread to any type of memorial thread or anything, glad I found this link.! Bro (Kite high), I hate that you where sick and in pain. And I have to say that now your NO longer sick, nor your in anymore pain. :) on the other hand I hate that your gone. You was a good guy, and I'm glad I got to know and talk with you. You will be missed bro..
