Rider is back for a final grow

[Rider509]

I’ve been away from growing for 3 or 4 years but decided to put the system to use one more time before selling everything off. I started some BOEL Skunk x JonnyD beans from Golden Coast Genetics, which I call Thaibodian Skunk. According to GCG they are “rare as golden gopher balls.” All seven germinated but I culled the weakest to fill the six spots I have.
I’m growing in a fully climate-controlled room with CO2 in a RDWC system with a mix of 3590s and Samsung LEDs that I designed and built years ago. Same old shit, different day. This time I’m going to keep everything on the sane side of my insanity.
Wish me luck.

Welcome back @Rider509 good luck on your...last grow ...that's kinda what I said when I started ...I just want to grow a couple, to see how they look...ya, that was 15 years ago

Welcome back @Rider509. I remember following your journal 3 or 4 years ago. Last I remember you were going on vacation to Hawaii. Looking forward to this grow.

 

[Rider509]

Zincite! Glad to see you’re still here. I have a lot of catching up to do.

 

[Rider509]

Started a new journal. Sorry, but I can’t remember how to reduce it to just a simple link.
Edit: it did it for me. Cool.

Welcome back @Rider509 good luck on your...last grow

After this I’m done! It’s the bane of an ADD mind. I get immersed in something new and then live and breathe it until I’ve gone as far as I can go. This is the first time I’ve ever revisited an old project. I guess I just wanted to see it all work one more time.

Welcome back Rider!

I'm curious. What grabbed your attention and pulled you away from growing?

(You don't know me, so if I'm being too nosey just say so (or ignore the question ).

A custody battle over my granddaughter that we’d raised from birth to 11 gave me some grief. My daughter tried to get me in trouble and was making threats against my wife. But mostly it was that I’d had such an incredible yield that I could supply my brother for a very long time. He has medical issues and the meds help with his appetite and energy, which is why I focused on sativas. I don’t smoke any more. Gave it up 30+ years ago when it stopped being enjoyable for me.
I converted most of it to concentrates using fully closed ETOH and butane systems i developed so it had a better shelf life.

Aww I feel the granddaughter situation I fostered my spouses niece and nephew and had to give it up for a few years as well. When you have state employees who can just walk in whenever it becomes less important then the little one your trying to protect. I'm following along if ya don't mind.

I'm following along if ya don't mind.

Rider’s Final Grow: GCG BOEL Skunk x JohnnyD, aka Thaibodian Skunk

One last foray into the world of growing. Nothing about my system has changed, nothing will change. I’m hoping during my time here I can make some new friends and reconnect with old friends. The seeds are from Golden Coast Genetics and are a cross of BOEL ‘79 Skunk and JohnnyD, which is...

I didn't mean to bring up bad times. I thought it was a new hobby that had pulled you away.

It’s all good, @Grand Daddy Black! I kept everyone here in the loop as it was happening. I had to stop posting as Rider for a while but my alter-ego Saibot picked up the slack.

Looks fabulous. Great job.

Looks fabulous. Great job.

Thank you, Heedial. It’s been a rocky start with nitrogen and magnesium deficiencies but I think the plants will recover. I just posted a 48 hour grow vid in the journal. It’s crazy how much they can change in just two days.
