I am 100% narcotic free and almost 100% pill free. Good job Vesp! I'm really glad youve found this medicine and have an obvious talent for growing it.

It's funny because now that I've been clean for 7 years i could get all the legal narcotics through a doctor if I wanted. Good job Jesse! The pain is difficult but worth the clean living!

I commend you guys, im very lucky in that I've never had a chronic sickness, but i can only imagine what you go through on a day to day basis, sadly i like pills for all the wrong reasons so i go out of my way to stay away from narcotic prescriptions, although i tell my twin sister all the time that when i get really old I'm taking all the drugs the doctors give me ( or at least the good stuff)

I'm with Leo on this, no need for pills for me, except for the wrong reasons, so I stay away. I have a bit of an addicting personality, so I could see how easy it would be to get hooked on them. It is so awesome that you guys have been able to be free of that as well. My wife has chronic back issues from a car accident when she was a teanager (got rear-ended). she gets pills, but tries not to take them. they drug test her to make sure she is not doing anything else, smoking weed would get her script revoked,, aint that some s... but now, since her back will never get better, they now recommended her to try medicinal, the kicker is,, if she gets her med card, they will yank her license to carry. It is BS. So take opiods and keep your gun, or smoke weed and lose it. Take opiods and keep your DOT med card, get a MJ med card though, and lose the DOT one.
Nothing like mother nature to provide the medicine the body needs. Way better than big pharma, that's for sure.

Seriously! It's crazy how backwards the law is.
Thank you all for all the great vibes~ this plant is medicine for a lot of us~ I actually believe it's medicine for everyone. I'm blessed to have an opportunity to keep clean & grow my own~

Good morning 420 fam! I hope everyones weekend was full of joy & laughter~ My bestie came over this weekend & I finally got some medicine! I feel like a whole different person~ my tolerance is nil so one hit & I'm good for half the day!
Getting super excited about flip day!
Claudette is 20" tall so I think she's itching to flip too~ I'd read that leaving them under the MH bulb in the first couple weeks will help minimize the stretch so I was thinking about waiting to change to the new bulb. Any thoughts on this appreciated~

Awesome that you got to spend time with bestie and get medicated at the same time.
I'm strictly LED, so someone else will have to help you with MH thingy. I'm as excited as you are about the flip, already started the journal.

Hey Vesp, keep us posted what you do. I'll be going to HPS for sure so if you stick with your MH for a couple weeks we can compare notes. Either way glad to see you back at max stamina even if your THC tollerance is low

High everyone! Glad your'e feeling better Vesp'. Had a few rough days myself lately ugh. :icon_roll
You can run your MH for a while in flower. It will add bulk in the end. Going straight to a red spectrum HPS at flip can end up with looser more spindly buds because of no compensation for stretch which is still a more vegetative state. You could even run the whole way on MH, but you'd miss out on what the red spectrum will add. If you are only option is one at a time then switch to red HPS after the stretch and the buds are well established.
I use both LED and HID sometimes both at once and sometimes either or.. just depends. Either way I tend to think of it as spectrum rather than so much type of light. My usual approach is mostly blue for seedlings, cloning and early to mid veg. Then I add more red spectrum for late veg, transition and early flower. Typically by the final two to four weeks of flower I'm running dominantly red spectrum. Nice thing is both red types of lights, HPS or LED in flower mode, run cooler than the MH or the LED with both switches on. Those cooler temps really pay off in the final product.

Happy to hear you got a bit of medicine, hopefully it helps during your recuperation! The plants look great, in pictures it's hard to tell how big they've gotten then you read 20 in, that's awesome! Any luck with sexing yet? I'm not sure how often plants show sex before switching to flower (i may have just got lucky).

Thank you for all the great info gypsy! I think I'll run the mh for the stretch transition. They're so tall already & I haven't got the light pulleys yet so leaving the light where it is will be easier for now. After the transition is done I'll change to the hps bulb~
Hey Leo~ my girls haven't flashed a thing... except Claudette but she was a mature clone when I got her~ I'll be staring at them during transition until I'm sure~ lol
Thanks for the good vibes gang!
