Yup.. I joined some time ago, back in 07. I finished my first successful grow. I finished my first successful grow. Some shit happened in Toker's Den, couple of us got banned. I found the IG page and sent a DM. Response was "unbanned". And here I am.

After getting banned, found a home at The Canna Cabana and did anotherstill my favorite grow.

Had some family issues, shut down in 2010. Didn't get back to growing until a couple years ago. Loving the LEDs. I remembered the testing they were showing on this very site back then. Love the tents too.

I ended up getting a 2-in-1 (2x3, 53 in tall) because I read and was told they had light leak problems. If there's anything we can do, from back then, is deal with light leaks. More on that later.

I got some autos from Mephisto and I F'd up the seeds but got the last two, freebies, to harvest. They looked really good but no smell, no taste, and NO HIGH. It was a remembering and learning experience. I literally forgot I preferred peat sponge, not peat pellet. I did remember I didn't want rockwool lol.

Next grow God Bud, got a BOGO deal from Seed Supreme. This is where the real test for me began. I felt good and comfortable. Ended up getting another 2x4 tent because I was really trying to run 4 plants in a 2x2 lol. It came out ok. The plants in the 2x4 hermied BUT the 1 plant in the 2-in-1 did not hermie. And, that's with me keeping cuts with lights on 24/7. Them old skills kicked in. Unfortunately, didn't secure the 2x4 well enough. Smoke was decent and got some decent reviews.

Current grow is the other 4 seeds of God Bud. I'm trying to go perpetual. I was supposed to before but I had to move. I'm on Week 9, Flower Week 5 in the 2x4 and Week 4 in the 2-in-1. Got a few hermies in the 2x4 again but not as bad as last time.

I wanted to throw it away BUT I'vedecided something different. I'm either getting another tent OR flipping this 2nd bedroom to a whole flower room. The 2x4 will be put on its side to get a 2x6, 4 ft tall with the goal of using that to run my veg to support the numbers I need for about 12 to 16 plants, maybe 20.

Since almost all of us are legal, I am more comfortable sharing/attaching my social media - @anthonytaurus. If you want to see more pics and video, hop to IG. I got anfew things on YouTube even from way back then. FB is there. Imgur. Pinterest. My Twitter got hacked so I'm trying to get it back. TikTok is a bust.

Anyway, here are some pics. If there is wood in the pic, that's old pics lol. Rest of it is recent. Specific grow pics, check them links. Plenty of grow pics lol

This forum from everything I have read here and the people I’ve had the pleasure of connecting with despite being new, is a very special place. Don’t get me wrong, it’s changed a lot since the old days and I wish I was around for that era of IC but some of the people from back then still are around here and it’s a blessing to be able to network and still have access to threads where knowledge from people who aren’t frequently popping in anymore is at our finger tips.

Welcome back and glad to see after all this time you’re doing your thing still and I hope life finds you in good health growmie.

Yes I see some names I recognize and checked on the good connections I had. A lot of folks missing. Definitely looked at some old threads. My inspiration was always Pipedream's 150W grow. Had to take a look lol. It all feels new and old at the same time. And thank you.

Dusted off my Nikon D5600 and pulled out the tripod. How lucky am I? My 55mm lens broke. It became a macro lens. I already have a macro lens. Here's the kicker. The macro lens fits in the 55mm. It was a set. DOUBLE MACRO and that's why I'm all up that leaf's cheeks. I want superclarity tho. Just as that lens broke, my tripod won't tighten up on the joints. Legs were still solid tho lol. That's the next purchase. I used to take great pics.

Perpetual Week 11
Flower Week 7 (2x4) and 6 (2x2)

In general, just been monitoring. Everything going as planned.

Veg - A1b, B1, C1
Same shit, different update. More tops as usual. Later in the day, did some more topping and took two cuts (A and B). I didnt prep a peat sponge or anything, left them in a cup with 5 drops of superthrive, a few drops of veg nutes, and water. We'll see.

Week 7 (2x4) - A, B
Fattening up nicely. Smell getting more intense. Might take this an extra week into November.

Week 6 (2x2 aka the jungle) - A1a, C
Did some more defoliation and got some visuals of my slow grower in the back. The jungle is 1 week behind the 2x4. However, C is the slow grower soo I would not be surprised if the tent belongs to C for a couple more weeks after I pull A1a.

In other news, got myself a Bloom Plus BP4000 light (on the way) and a 4x4 tent but I am only using the frame.. heh heh heh

I was surprised at how well the Bloom Plus lights worked. Makes some frosty ass buds. At a low price.
