In AZ 71-present. Luv tha heat!!! Hangin out in 110 ain't nothing. Try framing for a few years in it. THAT will put the heat in perspective. Could be worse... you could be out workin in it :hotbounce Youch. Spent many a summer in AJ framing houses. Up on the roof, 110 the day after a monsoon, slingin sheets of plywood. Icky sticky in a bad way. I'll take being hot over being cold any day. I came from a cold climate and I hate the cold with a passion. Easier to get cool when you're bakin than warm when you're freezin... :woohoo:

Here's a couple from the scrog, day 21-ish. A new HPS bulb does wonders. My old bulb was coming up on 2 years old and it was definitely showing in the diminishing returns I was getting. Goin bonkers this time! neeeee-hah!

painter here, I know all about the heat...especially on a roof in august like 125F shingles on fire I personally feel it's easier to get warm, but I'm pretty warm blooded and well insulated.
 
another couple weeks and the pool water will be like 98, not the least bit refreshing. temps swing in my tent from 68-80 night/day usually only hitting 80 about an hour before lights shut off at 9am stanley fan and a 1000w hps. I don't know about you people but I've had enough desert to last a lifetime and can't wait to get the funk out of here 1992-present. I'm ready for nor-cal or oregon

Being from Nor-Cal and going to school out here makes me really appreciate what I have at home waiting for me as soon as I graduate and leave this purgatory.

But the hot weather out here makes girls wear less clothes so I can't complain about that.

sad part is I'm leaving one desert for another one in a couple months, and hopefully only be in that hell hole for a couple months. Then its time to go north, I really like Oregon.
 
hit 114 yesterday and I don't think its going to start cooling down anytime soon... keepin the A/C set at 73 gotta love summer huh? turns us into hermits

originally the misses and i are from oregon both born n raised in the eugene area we line in vegas now and when anyone calls it seems i tell them the same thingover n over again that its hot and were not doin anything they dont quite understand the heat it gets so miserablly hot here its difficult to even go out at night with night time lows in the 90's lol but ya hermits we are other than school n community service in fact im doin community service right now :) in my garden i got its ac unit cranked al;l the way down and am maintianing 64=73 degrees the higher being when the light is on and i haveit kick on so i can take advantage of the coolest part of the 24 hour period hoping for l less wear n tear on my equipment well i gotta run

and ya ya the misses and i have been in vegas now for almost 2 years and were ready to go back to oregon the only problem is i got a lil trouble facing me there so wever really been looking towards north eastern nevada small sparslly populated perfect for a hermit weed grower :) plus nevada willnt arrest on oregon warrants they just say hey u got warrants in oregon have a nice day i assume its beacause they got real crime to fight not lil oleme over a posession charge thats wait a min almost 10 years old oh no we aint arresting this guy the cops here seem to have some common sense

Zero RH works wonders for me in the desert, and heat who needs stinking heat when you have a 5ton AC and want to grow the best hydro in the world.

its an awesome place to visit shitty place to call home. Period. but I look at it like life is too short and the world is too big, I would be denying my self the ability to live life to its fullest by staying confined to what may very well be one of the ugliest ( ugly in more than appearence) places on this earth.

then heres the agent orange x jack the ripper



i know sorry to scare u all in my boxers i ws trying to be out of the pic done my best :) anyways theres more of both of these strains in my photo album the agent orange threw some nanners on me and at the time i didt really know what a nanner had looked like some other proplr like subcool what a nanner is supposed to be and he showed me something 100% different than an actual nanner while ur plants in active flower i had no clue they could come from anywheres anyways ive only gotten st the most 15 seeds outta 2 plants and none on the #D aka apollo x jack the ripper these beans were made with subs genetics in fact his moms n dads i got a few more crosses this way pretty much everything tga and then a few x to subcool's jack the ripper male at first it was a controlled pollination and someone i think my nrother told mw didnt tell him that the JTR male cut he had was an auto flowerer this is how we ended up with all these great crosses well im digging them havent grown the mothers yet my brother has them all but just havent been able to get clones from him none to spsre got hit eith mites like twice in a row just stroke of bad luck it happens is what it is :) anyways theres more pics of my plants before harvest and all trimmed up in my albums plz feel freeto look and comment away :) im always down for feed back this was my first med harvy im pretty excited esspecially what the beans cost me zero and not only that but i got a keeper for a long period to come

all in all theres a lil more than double what i have in my hands there not to bad for a 3 plant grow im really starting to think pulling a pound with this setup every 2 months willnt be as ubachieveable as i thought :) trying to keep the good karma rolling know what i mean
 
be giving that out once it dries enough to get into mason jars and i get a cure on it ill post a smoke report lol dont be expecting much i break it down into 2 groups one oh hell ya thats chronis and the other group is oh hell no thats bammer :) i suppose i could get a lil more in depth just seems smoke either tastes good n gets u loaded or plain and simply put it dont !!!
