Well guys I've been gone for too long, and it feels great to be back!!
I really missed the community, and the friendships we have been able to build. I'm prolly not gonna go full out journal, but I'm gonna try to post some pics occasionally, and give you guys some updates of what I've got running. I'm pretty excited to have several new strains in the mix, and progressing nicely. Heres a few pics to get started, some of you may have seen a few of these but theres some fresh ones too. Most of my tray is filled with some bubba kush, they stretched a bit more then I wanted, but are very strong plants so I'm sure they'll do ok still. I'm a bit doubtful they will be quite what I'm used to getting, but I can't complain. I'm just glad to have plants in my tray. I started a bunch of beans over the last 2 months, several which came from a friend in NY which are supposed to be "something strawberry, I can't remember the exact name" is what I've been told. I'm hoping its strawberry cough but since I'll never know I've been calling it NY strawberry. I've got 5 of those, one of which is in the tray now, and is looking very impressive to me. I really like the node spacing and shape of the plant. I think it is gonna yield well, and we'll see how the taste and smell are. I've got clones of that and the other 4 strawberries, I'm hoping between the 5 I'll find a great keeper. I also started 3 of the 8 seeds I have found out of the pounds of WW I've grown over the last 4 years. They went straight into peat pellets and had popped sprouts in under 24 hours I was really impressed. I've cloned all 3 of those already, and one is in the tray sexing and flowering. I've one of my original WW in the tray, and a diesel plant I got from the same friend in NY. I've grown the diesel a couple times now, and its good but it stretches more then I wanted also. Most recently but far from least on my new menu is the addition of a dinafem critical jack, and 2 female seeds C99. I'm not sure which I'm more excited about, but I think the C99. Those seeds germinated kinda strange, one sprouted 2 sprouts, and the other one split at the first node like it was topped. Either way they are both happy and healthy so I'm happy. I'm really hoping I get a nice pheno of the C99 I here about pineapple, and grapefruit I think. I'm not really sure what the differences are, but I think I want the pineapple, because I also got some dinafem deep grapefruit seeds I havn't started yet. I'd love to have some C99 that tasted and smelled like pineapple, but I suppose I'm just hoping for something close to the original that has gained such a reputation over the years. All three of the newest seeds are still little seedlings so it will be awhile. I've got a handful more Bubbas, and a nice WW mother vegging as well. Should be a good year I hope.
We still want to move, but havn't figured any of that out yet sadly. 2012 was an eventful year to say the least for us. About 6 months ago I decided it would be a good idea to buy a motorcycle, I had always wanted one and found a killer deal. I only had that motorcycle for about 2 weeks before I managed to total it into a guard rail. Over all, I'm ok, I had a few compression fractures in my back which are an aggravation more then anything. The worst injury I took was my right arm received a deep impact wound, which severed some nerves, and messed up the muscles. I've made a ton of progress in physical therapy, but still can't use my tricep, bicep, or deltoid on my right arm. So I've had to make some modifications to the way I do things, but all in all I'm doing better and growing again so thats huge. I've been so thankful for my garden through all of it. Its been a huge help with the pain, and helping me get off the man made meds(which I'm still in the process of doing) Its also been a huge help mentally, and a nice relaxation to get my mind off the other shit.
Well guys thats about up to date, I'm sure I'll think of more stuff later when I get high(er). Until then I'll leave you with some pics of the stuff I've described. Peace guys and I hope to see you guys back and feel free to bring your friends. All my old info is still here on the shrooms, and my past grows, soil and hydro!
if you guys want me to post the links instead of pics I will, I just like big pics!
Peace Guys and Welcome back
