[joegrower619]

Hey everyone hows it been I got a lot of catching up to do on everyone's journals including my own Im kinda upset my tablet breaks during the best part of my grow we all got ripped off from my bud porn time but I made the chop today a couple days shy of ten weeks mostly cloudy trichs a few amber and some clear as close to peak as I could get and the great smell of fresh wet blueberries with earthy undertones and a sort of sour blue razzberry candy hope it only gets better as it dries and cures here's a pic of a Lil bud I brought in to show u guys

Hey guys I'm kinda cramming stuff on here feel I need to catch up a Lil so my new veg area is a cupboard raised up about 5 ft from the ground attached to the wall and ceiling veg space is about 3ft wide 2.5ft deep and 4ft tall not finished yet still wanna line it with panda paper but its okay for now I put my three lonely survivors from my last batch of disaster clones and kinda left them in there a few days and wasn't paying attention cuz they were just staying the same size not doing much and well I went in today and they were grown up into the light I had to raise it up I was shocked but stoked I'm in motion again LOL well here's a few pics so u guys can get an idea of the veg spot and see the new growth

Total dry weight 69.4 grams not a great harvest but okay for my four Lil girls the runt was like 12 grams but the rest were okay and smell was top notch I love the smell nice pungent blueberry candy with an earthyness and the high is nice really heady floaty body high that keeps u uplifted bag appeal okay not the best but decent everyone whose got it can back for more. Taste is nice its a light sweet smoke that don't choke you and Burns evenly leaves a nice white ash overall I give it a - 7 good enough for me first time back in the garden since 09 so imma just keep it up and do what I can to better my skills thanks to everyone who helped me thru that one on to the next they're looking good just waiting for the new clone spot to call with my order and its on keep it green 420 thanks

So hows it going just went and checked on the veg girls they're doing greatso I figured it was time to stress them with some lst so I tied them over for now let them branches shoot up cuz I fimmed them then will start some super cropping bending tying down and just bush them out here's a couple pics of where I topped and tied over

 

[joegrower619]

So I'm gonna try to make a new tradition of every harvest I'll also buy a new piece of glass sounded like a good idea and was a good enough excuse to the wife to let me spend money on a piece lol and if I talked the guy down to a twenty dollar bill which I did tag was 36.99 so not much off but I tend to make things happen to get what I want here she is plain not to flashy comfortable in my hand and rips like a champ

[joegrower619]

So the gorilla glue is still to small of a mother to start cutting so I went with sin city diesel instead I'm bummed really wanted the gg but its cool I got reserve on 1 cut when they do there first chop so its cool I will have it sooner r later 20 bucks though cuz I reserved one from their first batch cuz its in high demand I guess someone made a mistake and put it on the menu to early and everyone was asking for it anyway the veg girls are doing good I'm still just keeping em bent and tied down I got the tent down for now so we clean the garage an rearrange shit so my tent can fit in the spot I want it in prolly set it back up in a week or so give it a nice scrub down and disinfect it for the next round waiting for my net pots and neoprene collars so the aero cloner can be done that's about it I watered today with mad farmer silica to toughen up those branches and stalks that have been bent well I'm gonna retire for the night been doing a remodel on the mother in laws house super beat and tired keep it growing green 420 mag

So last night was one of the worst nights I've ever had I took my two pups for a walk we get close to be getting back home ourp place is close to a main street and the one dilinger had got lose and ran out all there and every one had stopped on both sides of the street I was right behind him with my other dog in my arms and this one car seen everyone stopped me running in the middle of the street and they sped through hitting him and nearly hitting me cuz I dove to try and protect him I picked him up ran grabbed the key key wife and jumped in the car went to the vet a block away the vet said he was standing and that's a good sign they want to give him a pain shot and do xrays so they did no broken bones and no internal bleeding they say take him to the 24 hour animal hospital and they can do an MRI cuz he collapsed and couldn't stand now so they thought a disc may be ruptured or idk so my wife went to get the money to pay or they would not release him to go to the other hospital so why she did that I stayed and the Dr can out saying he is having seizures 2 mins later he came and said he's going so I ran back he reached his paw out to me and I hugged him and put my face down on his and he let his last breath out so I'm medicating to the max and feel like shit cuz it was my fault he got away he's done it a couple times and I caught him so I tightened his collar and all but it happened and those ppl seen and should have stopped braked anything no the kept going but I will not forget that car and they will get what's in store for them karma is a bitch and that dog was my best friend and my other dog his brother hasn't stopped looking for him this sux so my day is pretty shitty thanks for listening though

 

[joegrower619]

I've lost about 6 strains to that Lil terror he loved plans leaves buds it didn't matter he loved eating it as much as I loved growing it and me and his brother will keep growing and eating the leaves he loves them to and once I find a strain that's just what I'm looking for maybe a good strain for seizures since that's what happened b4 he left us and cross it with his favorite strains leaves to eat and the one that survived his topping the wet dream which I still have in my veg right now and incorporate him into it so he's remembered and enjoyed by lots of ppl I miss ya Dillinger

Damn Joe super sorry to here about your little buddy. I would be destroyed if anything happened to either of mine also. Were not having kids so the dogs are our kids and Im dreading the day something happens to either of them. Maybe look into harnesses in the future. Our little lab puppy is a nightmare to keep on a leash and collar but theres no way she's getting her little wiggle ass our of that harness.

 

[joegrower619]

Ya I had been looking for a small one in his size to get that's how it was though they were our kids definitely thank you smoky everything happens for a reason and I know the whole animal and medical marijuana is a iffy thing but if they can b giving pharmaceuticals then they should be offered the safe alternative too

So finally got to the hydro shop and picked up some panda paper for my veg spot and got it up now it should be easier to keep clean and don't gotta worry to much about spilling or overflowing the saucer's plus its nice and reflective I also move the 125 watt cfl veg light over a Lil and put a 2 ft t5 up also I think I took pics b4 I hung the t5 though i need to get some more t5's to throw in their or I would like to throw a 150/250 metal halide in there so I can get some more compact node structure future upgrade plus I got my diy bucket cloner done ditched the PVC square with micro sprayers design sprayers were either fine not working or barely trickling I didn't wanna f with it so I just ran a straight 1/2 inch pipe from the pump up and topped her with a 360 degree spraying sprinkler head and she looks like she's gonna work like a champ I'll let you all know results after I give her the first whirl and on the subject of clones I got 8 cuts that should be ready and delivered any day now all different strains banana tangie/ platinum purple kush /animal cookies/raskal's WiFi OG/ cataract kush/ power nap/ blackberry/ and instead of gorilla glue #4 due to not being big enough yet I got sin city diesel so I'm stoked and anxious for the new strains I'm gonna take a couple cuts from each flower em see who the keepers are and ditch the rest then make up a new order and start all over till I get like 6 solid strains I'm happy with then maybe some breeding projects and other experiments but for now I just wanna get my perpetual on track and strain hunt get my setup dialed in that's all I got going on for now here are a couple pics of all that was mentioned above

So I've had the ed Rosenthal grower handbook for a while just the other day I picked up the marijuana garden saver handbook for healthy plants so far I really like it full of good info I have read a few of the grow bibles but I'd have to say Jorge Cervantes grow bible and eds grower handbook and this garden saver are prolly the best I would like to get the beyond buds book to but I haven't been able to find it at Barnes and noble I will let you know if and when I find it how it is so far though these to are very informative and jorges is good for the basics which is what we all need to go back to sometimes
