When I was a kid I LOVED apples. One day my dad asked me if I had ever tried the best kind of apple of all? I asked excitedly what kind of apple he was talking about. He got all secretive and told me of a special 'white' apple. It was the best kind of apple and I'd be sure to love it. My eyes got big as he handed me my first white apple.

I took a big ole bite and don't really remember what I thought as I spit the ONION out onto the floor.

Cheers dad. Really.... that might not have been the best 'joke' you ever pulled. :/

Thanks for the input Mo. :)

My Grandmother said that when she was a little girl in Indiana there were onions as sweet as apples and that they would eat them like apples. I have experienced sweet onions like that on Maui back in the mid '70s.

I grew a sunflower when I was 8 and when it was full of seeds my Mom was out in the yard with me and a couple friends and I asked it you could eat the seeds or would they kill you (city boy). She proceeded to eat one and fall over dead. I thought she was dead and my friend is face to face with her and said - is she dead? Then she starts laughing - fucking scared the shit outta me!

She did have me when she was 16 so she was more like my big sister - not a very good one!

I remember when I like 5 asking her why she and her friends were smoking a cigarette with tweezers. One of her friends said he worked at a gas station and had gas on his hands and didn't want to catch on fire. When I was a teenager I remembered that story and totally busted my Mom!


Cheers,
Mo

Bro, I was like 4 years old. Do you know what every fruit and vegetable was by that age?

And I also trusted my dad.

I feel like a lesson to teach a child is that they can trust someone, even if only one person, you can trust whatever that person says. My dad obviously felt like teaching me a different lesson. :)

EDIT: HAHAHAHA... yep, someone got gas on their hand. LOLOL... good story on the spot from mom.

So it looks like you got a lot less smaller fluffier bud then you would have gotten with just a straight forward 400 watt hps light. This pretty much seems to be the usual led outcome. I think they are nice to enhance color spectrum but every grow I have seen with led s just doesnt come close to standard hid lighting plus you have 3 times the cost.

I don't see it like that but thanks for the input. Been a while since I've seen you around.

we will see what the final results are but I don't think its far off hids. Not sure how much you think I've pulled from previous grows but this looks to me to be among the biggest yields I've ever had. As for cost, initially it is a steep investment, however I'm saving at least $75 a month on electricity so the investment would pay for itself quickly (assuming it performs as well as I think it is).

the grow is not over and I'm going to wait till I pull things to judge. See how things look, smell, and smoke.

have you seen my other grows to compare this to or you just comparing to where things should be in your head?

EDIT: I am flattered by how well you think I grow. :)

Dont look fluffier to me.






Also doesn't look like less than a 400 hps (imo). They do look on the smaller side, but there's a whole bunch of em'!








There is also a cost savings in cooling for sure.
Will see how it turns out :-)

The gross over vegging had a lot to do with bud size I think. Lots of small buds. Next round veg a week, not 3.

Speaking of stoner, I just love something I read in another thread. Guy 1: You should get there early. Guy 2: What's early? Like Noon?

:) I love pot heads.

Coming Off a Holiday School break for the 10 and 13 year old kids... I am SOOoooo GLAD that they are NOT Home Schooled! Home Schooling MAY sound like the Best INTENTION for your Kids, but in REALITY, I think it puts ALOT MORE Pressure on the Children to Perform, and lets NOT forget the HARD WORK ahead for YOU as a Parent/Teacher!

They will LEARN ALL of the EMOTIONS by the time the are 7ish, regaurdless of their Environment, AND Like it or Not, Kids USE OTHER KIDS to compare themselves to, to build things like Confidence, Self Worth, Motivation, and Learning by OTHERS MISTAKES.

There may be times that School Drama (Social) will make ME think about Home Schooling and Proteting MY children, BUT.... for MY Sanity, prefer to Create a LOVING HOME BASE with Open Communication so they are Comfortable to Bring their problems and Concerns to YOU, thus HELPING them Live in the World (without You)!

I BELIEVE there are Pro's and Con's to EVERY System of Education, but the point is, NONE are Perfect, and you are just EXCHANGING one Set of Problems for Another?

Another ALTERNATIVE would be to get involved WITH your Childrens School and become a CO-Creator?

PLUS, the THREAT of Home Schooling is a GREAT Way to get them to straighten UP!

Keep in Mind.... There are ONLY answers, we JUDGE if they are Good or Bad from OUR PERCEPTIONS of EXPERIENCES in the WORLD?

Peace

We want to do home schooling mainly because we want to be mobile. 2 months here, a few weeks there, and not during summer break. Public schools don't let you attend of you take your kid out that much. Plus, what am I going to do with myself while girl is at school all day?

Another thing is the level of education. I was bored out of my mind all throughout school. I don't want to subject baby to such a waste of time.
