haha ,good looking ! well they do say ,beauty it is in the eye of the beholder .we had a couple of goats when we were kids,they will bloody eat anything,never ever let them near the plants,would be funny to see one off it's face on some trim! young goats are called kids i think
mmmm...im gonna say being a dick..
young goats are called dinner as far as I am concerned. can I come up an whack a goat. got an big outdoor grill setup?. lol
Oh yeah you know how it is! It's all about the rotisserie for the baby goat with the head and all. Slap all your spices on that bitch and let it spin all day. Some of the best meat I've ever had. My grandfather used to cook me the head of a lamb and we would eat the tongue, eye balls and brain. OMG I'm getting so hungry right now!
like a zombie I like brains too . I eat just about anything tho lol. tongue is an underappreciated part of the animals as far as I am concerned.eyeballs not so much I had a few in my time not a favorite but acceptable. I have tricked a few people into unknowingly eating tongue. none of em regretted it
Yeah, not a lot of people like eye balls. I'll tell you what though, the balls of the lamb or goat are fucking amazing. You cut them up into pieces and serve them with toothpicks and dip them in sea salt. Shit is the fucking bomb! Anyone who doesn't like brains is crazy.
I think you were talking about quail the other day. If you were, I fucking love quail! I usually keep the freezer full of quail and rabbit but I don't have any as of this moment.
For my rabbit, I marinate it over night in a bottle of Pinot Noir wine, Sea Salt and Pepper. Then I take a cast iron pot and put in the wine, shallot, tarigon vinegar and some olive oil and put it the top on the pot and put it on the lowest possible setting on the stove. The flame is barely on and I cook it for about 2.5 hours until the meat is falling off of the bone. The rabbit meat from the start is cut into sections. The last half an hour of cooking, I take the top off of the pot and reduce the liquid and thicken it up. The shit is fire!

BYTCH - 21 Days FL - Charging with 4 Gal - 28"
Every day I take the middle row of plants out of the tent and hand weigh every pot. I pay close attention to the leaves and evaluate each plant to see if she needs any nutes or any leaves or branches pruned. Today I defoliated a BYTCH at day 24 of Flowering. I only add water to my FFOF soil until a plants leaves tell me to add my nute formula. This plant was telling me her pH was out of line because I know when the last time she was fed and her leaves have the slightest yellow coming out. I performed a run-off test on her and she was a little below 6.0 so I performed what I call "Charging Your Medium" technique with my formula:
6 mL General Hydroponic Flora Series Micro
9 mL General Hydroponic Flora Series Bloom
1 Gram of General Hydroponic Kool Bloom Powder
All these measurements are for 1 Gallon and the solution is pH'd to 6.8
The ocean forest in the bag is 6.4 usually which is good. After a while plants seem to go down hill because the Ph tends to drop over time with my methods. Plants that are sensitive to PH swings show problems when this occurs. I pulled out hairs for months trying to figure out a way to fix this and tried many things. My PH would go down to the mid 5's and plants would be totally yellow. After trying various things, I tried this method and my pH was perfect once I did it and plants returned back to green. Ever since then, I do it to get my Ph back in line. People will talk shit about it but it has really helped me.
Now here's the trick I figured out with FFOF when the pH of your soil goes below 6.0 and your leaves start turning yellow. After you are in your biggest pot and have fed the above formula for about 4-6 weeks, you will notice your Run Off going lower over time. This will have to be fixed. What I do is take the container to the bath tub one at a time, and I make a 4 Gallon Solution of the above formula but I pH this formula to 6.8. I slowly pour the whole solution through the pot using 3 steps to do it. I wait 10 minutes to perform each stem So basically I pour 1.33 Gallons of this solution into the pot and wait 10 minutes and repeat that 2 more times. Don't let the pot sit in your run off. At the end when the final liquid is coming out of the pot, check your Run Off and make sure it's back up to at least 6.4. If your Run Off is not back up to 6.4, keep repeating these steps until it is. I tried everything and this is the only thing that worked for me. I've brought plants back from the dead this way, for real. I can't tell you why it works but it works amazing for me when my run off is lost. I call it, "Charging Your Medium". Only perform this technique with the above formula. If you are smart you will do this before you start to see problems with your plants. You will get a feel of how often you will need to do this after having personal experience.

So basically, your flushing with 1/4 strength nutes?
No, that's actually my full strength nute formula for heavy feeding strains. Maybe it's 1/4 strength of what GenHydro tells you to use. I don't look at charts though so I don't know.
Gotcha. Cool. Thats good to know.
Every year me and Snypette make Gingerbread House's for the holidays. Here's a few pics of the last years:
This year I'm planning on making a replica of a Queen Anne Victorian house (which is my favorite style of homes) but we will see how it goes. Everything except the candy is made from scratch. We even use poured sugar for the glass windows. It's pretty fun. You guys should make one.

Before the home invasion last year, I had 388 pairs of exclusive collectible Nike's. The cheapest pair was worth $250 and I also had pairs that were $2,000. The collection was worth around $200,000. They left me about 50 pairs cause they couldn't get the rest in time.
I got all the grow equipment out of the house after the first robbery. No plants were taken but some pounds of trees, cash and a safe was taken. All my expensive bongs and pipes were also taken.
The robbery's happened multiple days in a 30 day period. They kept coming back and I kept trying to move everything that i could in the day to my other grow house that no one knew about. Somehow in all the drama, Latin Kings found the other house and another home invasion occurred. That home invasion I almost lost my life. I had the house boarded up in the front so I couldn't get out of the house when they kicked in the back door with a sledgehammer. 3 masked Latin Kings were facing me about 30 feet away in bandana's. They were small Latin Kings. I figure they may have been 16 years old or so even though I couldn't see their faces. When we looked at each other, they froze which gave me some valuable time to make my move. I screamed as loud as I could, "Nigga's are getting shot today mother fuckers". I had no gun. Then I ran downstairs to the front door and realized that I was trapped in the house. Luckily I was able to open the front door from the inside and see a big piece of plywood that I screwed in from the outside. I was barefoot and in my boxers only. I heard all the noise up stairs. My old partners life flashed before my eyes. He was murdered in his house with 50 pounds of trees a few years back. I said to myself, I'm not going out like that today. I got all the energy that I could and kicked out the plywood which didn't take long because I only had 4 screws in in. I ran down the street barefoot at 5am. When I looked behind me, 3 of them were chasing me down the street. I had a good head start maybe a half a block. Puerto Ricans were still in various porches still partying from the night before. I didn't know who else was the enemy and who was not because the whole neighborhood was Latin Kings and Bloods.
I screamed for people to help and people just laughed. I was on my own. I ran for about 7 blocks and realized that my boy was still in my house in a different apartment and thought he might be dead. I hid in a big bush right on the main street and thought what to do. Because of my friend, I called the police and figured it was time to go to jail to try and save his life if he was hurt. The police took about 45 minutes to come while I stayed in the bush and hid.
When the cops came, they were harassing me with questions. I said I was just in my house sleeping when the door got kicked in. I told them about my friend downstairs and they drove me to my house. There was already about 10 cop cars there. As I was sitting in the back of the cop car, I realized all the illegal shit I had all over the house. All the grow shit, bagged up weed in jars, scales and hash oil but I had no growing plants. I thought to myself, I can't believe it is going to end this way. As the cops came out of the house, my friend appeared with them. He wasn't injured at all which made me happy. The cops let me out of the car and questioned me about what I was doing in this house. They kept saying that my story doesn't make any sense. I told them a bunch of lies and they weren't happy with me and said have a good day. It didn't make any sense to me. There was weed all over the house in a non med state and they didn't arrest me. I went back up stairs and jars were everywhere filled with trees.
I didn't understand it but I wasn't trying to sit around. I called Snypette and she came through and we took everything out of the house and moved it to a storage unit. I boarded back up the house and thought about the next step to do. These 2 houses were so hot now that there's no way that I can grow anymore here. One of the houses was completely paid off and the other house I still owed about 90k. I figured it would be better to protect the house that was paid off and protect the money that I had left. No one would stay with me in the house after that. I slept days and I would stay up nights with my chain saw in hand looking out the window waiting for them. They came back multiple times and walked into my yard looking around. I would turn on my chain saw and let them see me from the window and they would smile and leave. I sold the house within 30 days for 35% less than I paid for it a year before for a quick cash sale and went to Foxwoods for a couple of months to relax and get a new plan in order. Shit was pretty crazy but things are much better now.

Damn that's some intense stuff that you wrote!
What a horrible place to live in.
Glad it's going better, wish you all the best.

hey a snype-a what a storry. it is a better day with chainsaw in hand, may there be many more
There's no reason why you can't if you make the right moves.
Yeah it was a really bad place. It was a stupid decision on my part.
Where I am now I don't need a security system. When you are in the middle of no where, people have to be really stupid to invade your house. I hear that it can be very bad for your health!
I love my Stihl climbing saw!
Thats a hella story there Snype. Glad you made it out ok. This is the prob with growing indoors or out. If you tell the wrong people and they tell people and then they tell people, its only a matter of WHEN there coming to steal your shit.
I told some people Ive known for years the town I lived in.
Seen em on my security cams driving down the street.
They were def looking for my car to find out where I lived. It doesnt matter how well you think you know someone, everybodys broke and is struggling to survive and another growers work is another mans treasure if you make a mistake. Just takes a little slip up, and "BAM"! Your doors open and dudes with weapons are swarming the place.
Glad your safe now though! Happy harvesting!
