Besides attitude who else did you go with? I hope you got some strains that finish in September early October so hopefully you don't have to worry about the rain as much next year. Are you just going to put the seed out or are you going to start them early inside and take clones to put outside?

yeah nick, thanks for your rep too.

I guess the Attitude was a give me huh? lol Or a diversion?

The plan is to clone the better growers and plant them in the spring.

I guess I'll start a new journal for them after they come in. Just so exciting to actually be trying to do some world class strains instaed of bagseed.

lol I usually get mine in about a week, think I'd go crazy too if I had to wait that long. Nice harvest there!

Hey DoeEyed, thanks for visiting. How did you know I was harvesting today? Haha. Yep, I had to get these girls in before this next storm.

Man I can't believe we are forecast for another 4" of rain. Another Four Inches!!!! Oh come on. Well that's it. So I did.
At first I was gonna just check on them and collect any that might have been down. I'm seeing lots of hog tracks going in. Falling leaves everywhere, crunch crunch, CRUNCH. SHHHH "shhhh. Oh I'm by myself" gulp. Well right off the bat I find two broken over at ground level. Snapped over intentional like. Hmmmm, alright so I gather them up and head over to another plot. Just two left there, the late sativa and a smaller one with heavy buds. The sativa was layed over the opposite way this time like something had done it. hogs???? It didn't look good anyway, almost waterlogged and thin. Damn, might as well pull them too. Heck with all that and the 4" forecast I just brought everything down. Yep, pulled it all. All hanging now. Man it smells so good. Nice rock hard thick sticky stinky buds. mmmm mmm pics later maybe even tomorrow... I'm tired.

edit: one pic

Rest up my friend, sounds like quite a day!!! It sounds like there was still a descent amount to bring in. did you get the late sativa too?

Time to get heavily medicated!!!

damn, that's a haul. invest in jars.

Do you use the same spots each year or at least know where your next grow is early in the year? There is this stuff called termidor and others like it that are non repellents that the termites eat and bring back to their colony and kill off a colony within 3 months so if you could lay it out early in the year it should stop the problem. here is a link http://www.domyownpestcontrol.com/termidor-sc-p-184.html

Looks like a good haul!! Those termites mean buiseness!! little fuckers!!

One last snack for this guy.

I hope you got them out of the plants before you brought them home. Nice harvest slab. you did good this year even with all the monsoons.

Try uline.com for the 1 gal jugs and specialitybottle.com. Both have good prices delivered. Uline delivered in 2 days with no special postage but they are close to me.

Your bud/plant structure looks like my WC red/white bud. Ithink if you cut off the yellow fan leaves no one would know it's my, lol.

LOL, Hey there cph. Yep that was his last snack alright. Mashed his little ass right after that pic. Yeah not a bad haul considering. I've lost entire crops before so I'm quite pleased with what I got. I should last me a few months. Those damn termites are serious shit I tell you. nickbbad sent me a good link for some products that sound promising. When I prep my holes this time I'll treat around each one. I prolly lost a couple of dozen plants to the little bastards this year as it was. Thanks for all of the support and encouragement. A big hit in your honor bro.

Ha, yeah I wish mine was that frosty. Damn bagseed, lol Hey GT yeah bro thanks for those links to the jars man. I gotta go with some bigger ones. I'm looking at another 2 or 3 cases of the quarts with what I have hanging. That's a lot of trouble to burp so many, what 72 jars? FOREVER haha. Yeah I got those fucking termites shaken out <hopefully> they don't seem to stay long after chop though but got them hanging away from the house in my metal shop for the initial water evap. I'll prolly give them all a fast trim today to drop the fan leaves and bigger extraneous ones before they come in for closer monitoring, final dry and cure. And a big bong hit for you too my friend for the advice and help along the way. Old clandestine growers like myself always had to keep to them selves to ensure a crop so it's just almost magical to have the help of so many friends. Sorry for the ramble but cph's bonghit has me a little baked right now...

Hey nick, Man I appreciate the link bro. That sounds like it just might be what I'm looking for. In fact they have a few other products that I need to fight the little fuckers with. I won't be using a lot of those holes next year but I have time to prepare some new spots and treat them. Thanks a lot, another big hit for you my man

whew, man I'm stoned but last night was something else. A buddy came over and we started smoking hash till we couldn't hardly breathe without coughing. I gave him a big ol' chunk to carry home and a jar of cured skunk for the seed donation he gave me.

It was a pleasure to be able to ride along slab!! You put together a great grow, entertaining and educational!! The effort you put towards it isn't matched by many and deserves the utmost respect! Make sure to let me know when you get started next year. I'll help you dig some holes!

haha yeah man, I could use that help for sure. My shop sure smells nice. I trimmed some today and it's coming along quite nicely.


I gotta say Attitude was fast. 8 days for my order. I went with the stealth shipping too for the security but question using it again. If the rip off claims are over I don't see any reason not to trust them again. But I wasn't completely happy. My Barneys Farm original pack was crushed and my freebies are so white and small I doubt they would ever germinate. I'd be ashamed to put my breeder name on those. But I'll try them, don't see the point in haggling over the freebies. But the crushed Barney's Farm pack was disturbing like it had been intentionally crushed before mailing. Are they that noisy that the little sight tube must be smashed down on the seeds. I hope any aren't smashed. Oh well, I've still got another seed order out to compare this with.

Hey Slab, Im glad to see you have good taste in music. I actually saw Alice In Chains in concert at the Woodlands Pavillion last weekend.

William DuVall Put on a great show. I brought a couple joints of homegrown Bubba Kush. Simply amazing!!

Hey there BigT, I bet that was a damn good show! Amazing that he sounds so much like Layne Staley. I'll try to see them in BigD when they come back thru. It's too bad they weren't opening for Velvet Revolver when I first went to see them. Or at Ozzfest last year. or at the Buffalo Chip

Hit them with a little trim. Starting to look like buds now. It's been so humid and raining the are drying slow.











After they were cleaned up some <and stripped the sativa's fluffy buds off into the trim> I brought them inside to finish out where I can control the humidity.

All that trimming sure makes me hungry.




Peace out and still waiting on my second package.

Gotta love the Klondike bar. Nice job there, I can't believe the size of some of those buds!
