Autos v. Photos - A 5x5 No Rules Fight for Yield: A Jon & NickHardy Gig

[CaptainLucky]

So I’m quite good at doing what I say ai’m going to do:

That’s from a lovely guy from Grove Bags. I’ve put him in touch with Rob. Grows (only 10ft or the neighbors see! )

Hopefully something comes of it.

Any of you US based people - what do I need to show to buy a truck? Presumably ID of some sort? I’d be paying cash. Got various nationalities of passports and driving licenses I can show. (Real ones!)

Real Nick so annoyed with me. He knows I’m Jedi mind tricking him into coming

Also - I don’t mind drummers. Weird is built in.

Bass players? They’re the ones you need to watch out for.

Espedair Street by Iain Banks is a brilliant book about a bass player.

Nick

Valid drivers license and insurance should cover all the bases. But don’t quote me on it. That’s for a U.S.citizen. CL

Drummers always were a bit of mystery to me. They have the coordination of gymnasts along with their athleticism but with their own musical expertise. I would imagine it’s not ez being a drummer . CL

Yeah I need to look into it. Rolling up to Philly in a truck like this

Get some massive weed leaf painted on the side and roll up to the ball game in it, toss the keys to someone and never see it again. Or just get a Navigator at the airport. Probably easier and for sure an easier drive!

Yeah bro! They need to be so fit! And weird.

We all generally count in Base 10. 1, 2, 3.... 10

But there are other bases. 12 next most common.

Richard Feynman one of the greatest theoretical physicists learnt to count I think in base 15 or something. How?

He went to Mexico on a sabbatical, played some poker and drank a load of rum. Met an African bongo player. Bongo's turns out are played in basically base 15 or 17 across your two hands.

So he says - He did go to Mexico, play some poker and play bongos. It might just have been one of his stories to simplfy complex things. But yeah bongo players play in some weird 'bases' as pertains to numbers. He sort of converts 4/4 or whatever into number theory.

Smart cookie.

I looked into getting a delivery van once in my younger days. I had owned a regular van and used it for going to bikeweek, camping, concerts and stored my H-D in it when I was OTR driving a truck. It was customized for working on my bike but also had a bed. Anyway I thought a delivery truck would have more space. But I discovered that they didn’t come cheap for my purposes. CL

The van I had, I made the mistake of putting 2 big decals on the rear door windows of the H-D bar n shield. I was wondering why I kept getting pulled over by the cops until it finally dawned upon me that the decals were cop magnets. You paint a big pot leaf on your truck and your gonna get a about a mile in between being pulled over. Lmfao CL.

I'm banking on my poshest "But I'm a Britisher!" accent getting me out of cop trouble! (not that I plan on getting in any trouble!)

Me and the FBI in San Diego when I was about 17 - ha funny as. I spotted their "undercover" operation just before they kicked in the doors of some guy in 1997 I think

- What makes you think I'm FBI?

Well the cap with FBI on and that kevlar jacket, Suuur? I'm just here on holiday from England though! Could I get that cap off you ? What's the guy done?

He laughed and said,

- I can't tell you but he's bad man and no kid I need this hat right now! You make sure you grow up right!

It was like beach front San Diego near that rickety old rollercoaster. Best Western I think we were staying in.

Yeah good luck with that one Nick, back in the day the Philly cops had a reputation for being very violent. I don’t remember but I think they got in trouble for it. It’s funny cause Chicago cops always had a reputation for being corrupt n violent but they never got in trouble for it. Better Union maybe ? CL

 

[Jon]

Thank you bro.

Thank you mate but really its my wife - you and I both know its our wives make stuff happen! x

I'm gonna kinda paraphrase what I sent to @InTheShed with our weights.

I 100% do not want to come across as a "Whiney Limey"

My fancy light broke. It happens, stuff breaks, in grows stuff happens. "Plan A" becomes "Recovery Plan K"

Genuinely - I really learnt so much from this grow by once I'd written it off as yield grow - just testing other things.

That is in no way to take away from @Jon and his efforts! What I was really interested in from Jon's grow was more, not the Auto aspect, more the training aspect. It's a real weak spot in our skill set.

Because the light broke and we couldn't utilise the Co2 and high temps I haven't got any info on that delta point of reference I hoped for.

But - we did pivot to something different and we learned stuff we weren't expecting to learn! Ain't that fun!

This grow was Jon's idea - PM'd me out the blue - I think it took me an hour so to agree. He'll tell you my first worry it would come across as too competitive, the fear that the bants, the roasting between us might get misconstrued by 95% hours of members on the site. Like me and Jon and PM'd a bit before this but not much at all. I thought I'd been growing for years, rather than months, we weren't as tight mates as you might think!

But I was like hell yeah! (once we clarified no actual real competition) Jon didn't even want to release numbers at one point.

We really need to be competitive?

Hehe - me and Jon both! We are competitive monsters!

The roasting and bants got a bit much and we toned it down cause some cool members suggested it in private.

Glad we did!

It was always gonna be me doing the 16 hour flight to the US the 3 hours from NY to Philly or 2 hours to Boston? Its a rounding error. BTW - def doing it round the world! I'll fly east to NY (over the north pole) then go back east home to Thailand.

Back East...

Back wherever.

I want a holiday, a treat, pull one of my airport hoodies on, adjust the can's on my ears, take the champagne and press the button that makes my seat go flat.

Then rent a massive American sized SUV (Navigator) and jump the queue at Citizen's Bank Park and watch my first live baseball game - with a buddy yeah, a guy

He's made me laugh plenty.

Good dude is Jon

If we can get Bill there or anyone else round those parts there? Then yeah - my cup, its overflowing.

Nick

I love this summary. Well said.

Gorilla Cookies coco/hydro/Cyco
Complete Harvest
Day 110

And then she was down and washed and hung. This plant is as close to perfect as I’m capable of growing. The buds are rocks. Diamonds even they’re so hard. Nothing burned. 10-15% amber. Lots of weight. Perfect dense ass strands of sativa pearls. Gorgeous amazing plant I will grow again for sure. Bravo 420FastBuds, you guys nailed the genetics in this one. Perfectly timed harvest in my world too. Wow. Can’t wait to smoke this. It is so frosty I didn’t even want to cut off the fans to hang it. She is approximately in the 8-10 ounce range by my eye and holding the stems. 110 days. Wow.

A word on Cyco. If you grow with nutes and can spend the coin, try it. Cyco Platinum Series, full range including all extras. Best nute system I’ve used by miles and miles. It destroys Remo, Prescription Blend, Fox Farms (duh), or anything else I’ve used. Growth is spectacular. Burning is non existent. Quality is immense. Amazing nute system. Shame it has to be so damn expensive.

Now I’m off the finish harvesting the sister Gorilla Cookies. What a PITA day.

Here’s the haul.
