Hey, thanks for the good vibes everyone!

Well, neither of us are spring chickens and the lil lady had some medical issues that may make this difficult for us and the runt, but we're hoping for the best. Still got a few months to go before the docs know what's what with all things prenatal. It's making us crazy...and I'll leave it at that and get on to DSWGU stuff. Be back a little later with some eye candy if I can remember how to point and click...


EDIT....Pics

A lil BlueBerry

Some young DblStrawberryDiesel:

A young Mango Haze...She's about 6 and a half feet tall already...Oi!

A Sunshine #2 Tester (got another one, too...they're about identical, BTW)

SR71 PK starting to mature:

Some of the lower buds from the same plant:

And my current fave...Sweet Kush fom XYZ Seeds FREEBIE! The plant that almost never was

Another angle...

Take care!

now just what the hell is this page doing way down on page 3???


if only my not-so-old sony sure-shot was working...you'd be looking at a forest of 5 week old flowers growing under 2kw in a 6 x 3...(perhaps you can imagine...8 bb's. a couple fem sk's, lots of ap, and recently added rom's and white's)...i'll get a new cam soon...

 

[Grizz]

You better Del, wanta see them gals, remember that s99 x mss I showed you last week? you should see it now. the main cola is bigger around than my head and I have a huge head, lol... hope she has some power in the high because the yield is going to be exceptional.

ES I need you and your camera real soon. call me please..

 

[del...]

i misread your note above and called and left a message...you can 'nevermind' it.

i'll be back up anyways in two more weeks (which should be close to the start of harvest season here! remember that big box of clones from a couple months ago? uh huh...!)

see ya soon!


and for everyone within reading distance...

with the time for seed planting for the outdoor gardens coming on fast i'm looking for medical-grade beans (heavy indi's) for some friends-in-need and myself. i have lots of master kush x c99 and mk x neville's haze (both are 1st gen hybrids) made by me 5-6 years ago and safely stored in the fridge ever since to exchange or pass around. pm for details...thanks!

ps...i could also use some pollen to breed with white and romulan. i had some bb males and set them (2) with another bb and a couple of whites and roms (romberry soon, hopefully!) and am looking to make more this year with a few more of the f's...thanks again!

pss...badgers, anyone...anyone?

Ok all my Desert Rat buddies, remember how I can't take photos but said I would try? I have a few and they aren't great, but better than most I take.

Here is my question of the day: These pics are NL all from the same seed co., and all of them grew differently! What I mean is, some look like mostly Indica, and others are definately heavy on the Sativa side. WHY??
I have 3 plants that are so tall I am thinking about cutting them down and drying as is----and they are barely starting to flower(none of those are the pics I am posting).
But why does this happen? Bought at the same time from the same company and the plants look so VERY different from one another???
Ok, on with the photos...
BTW: Hope everyone is enjoying the weather and the outdoor gardening!!!

 

[Bruja64]

Ok, so maybe my deoderant isn't holding up? ;-/
Actually I know how you guys are...out all day in the gardens and then sleeping like babies at night. No wonder I haven't gotten a response!

I feel sort of dorky now though. Looked up grow reports on NL and it says there are fairly large differences in the phenotypes. So....with that said, I guess I answered my own questions about the major size differences I am getting.

Probably won't grow it again. Just because the variables are a big pain in my ass.

Right now I am loving the WR, HK, and AD. My Lifesaver is almost all gone now. Want more, but didn't save clones. Oh well.....eventually I will get more of that strain(hopefully).

What are you all planting in your veg gardens? What are your favorite strains of tomatoes for growing in the desert? I like the Beefmaster---am hoping I can keep those nasty tomato worms off my plants this year!

Hope you all are enjoying the lovely spring weather.
BTW---ES...how are things going?? Any update on baby/momma?

Talk to you all later~
Peace, love and as Always: "Good Medicine".

 

[Grizz]

Joesy them be some fat azz nugs!

After my lil scare a few months back, I am back and going with the following:
Agent Orange, Jacks Cleaner, Pink Kryptonite, Jillybean and Golden Pineapple.

 

[Bumble Buddy]

Whew, gettin' hot here, heading for 100° fast... "summerizing" time:

Flower room winter setup, ballast hung from ceiling, Panasonic fan sucks through carbon filter -> through reflector -> through fan and warm air goes inside house.

Moved the ballast outside and added centrifugal fan to reflector for separate air cooling vented outside:

It is noticeably cooler in there now Still gonna have to get the old swamp cooler cranking this weekend
New crop moved in there vegging for now:

need to finish up-potting, hope to get these done before the dread "moldsoon" season. Stay cool desert dogs, cats, and rats.

 

[Grizz]

Kali good to see you back in action.

the borg is out in force this year, watch for them. KILL THE BORG

SO GOOD TO HEAR YOU ON LINE BROTHER, HOPE ALL IS WELL. sorry cap lock snuck up on me. your going to love that grom mang, got your sweet kush in flower now, about another month to go. I flowered the mother after getting cuts, she is huge..

i am in the southwest and i set my plants out 2 weeks before the first of spring, the thing is they started to flower and now they are look about a third of the way throught the bud cycle and my question is will they keep budding or will they re-veg and if they do re-veg will the results be subpar. Also whats a good cheap way to make a darkroom on 4ft tall bushes

 

[Kal-El]

They will reveg as the days get longer, unless they are shaded more than 12 hours per day.
I had some flower out on my patio last summer, just cuz they were not getting direct light.
