MASSIVE OUTDOOR GROW

[Julian]

Yeah best scene of the entire movie - if you're high it better be on an indica strain so you have some anesthetics when it sends you directly into "doom" mode

The second scene is also good - I think he just destroyed whatever humanity might be left in that old pedophile bastard

Thanks man....I needed those ....

I'm thinking I'll go for it - worst case scenario (aside from slugs eating every single plant) is having to harvest early.

Best case scenario is an indian summer letting me harvest end October.

Well......never had to deal with serious slug issues, but, sure a hand full of remedies or preventative measures can be found within minutes, so.....You prep accordingly taking existing issues into consideration, get it done asap (time issue...), and, your probably good, depending on season......July 4th...so...still 90 days roughly (till Oct 1st...4th, whatever )

I seem to do well with last minute scrambling...I like it...I think I'm mopst effective personally......more focused...etc...

In Denmark we have serious problems with what we call "Killer Slugs" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spanish_slug
A single slug can easily destroy a 30-40 cm plant on its own - it just climbs up and decapitates it, leaving slime all over as a proof.
Unfortunately the forests close to me are filled with those;p

 

[GroBoy2000]

now thats a freakin AVATAR, I like that one

seriously though, much appreciated is your inspiration, the idea of dont dwell on it any longer than to get something from it, remember to stay focused, using it to put foward on next years

 

[vod]

You're a fan of Motorhead Jules? Friends with Lemmy?
I think I'm gonna put some in my stereo

Slugs are the worst problem in my area too. Iron-III-Phosphate is my weapon against them. Need to apply it every couple of weeks though.

Here weather is perfect. Full sun all the time and a good heavy rain every week or so. I planted a last batch on wednesday, just before a heavy rain, it rained yesterday as well and stayed overcast and today we have full sun again If the slugs won't kill them they should be fine.

Well, with a location specific problem, you could go in first and do some searches and see what you find.....I think slugs are DE (Diatomaceous Earth), but, again, if one has regionally specific issues, always best to do some searches...(Might be commentary, reports, articles written by local farmers, departments of agriculture, etc, etc, on how to deal with certain things in certain regions.....)

You know man......we all have out sets of specific issues.....I had some this year....Changed everything up, all new locations...couple issues snuck up on me....and, make no mistake.....I did my research on areas ....Still had things come up....but, these ops overall should work well long term, so.....aside from problems, if I can get everything back on track (a week or so now ).....well, you live and learn.....

Could have been worse ....Much worse ..

now thats a freakin AVATAR, I like that one

You like that one ...(Not the first time......was using that one.......mmmm........not last handle, but, the handle before last handle ...3 handles ago? .......)

seriously though, much appreciated is your inspiration, the idea of dont dwell on it any longer than to get something from it, remember to stay focused, using it to put forward on next years

Well........been there man, ya know?........Know the feeling...know easy to fall to the negative......but, you know.......benefits you in no way....serves no purpose....so.......and, just as easy to move forward.....

As above...I had some problems........I say didn't bother me, but, I look back at certain things, and, no....I think it ate the living shit out of me, and, it's hard to let go........I have moments where I slip back....but, you know......If I am going to get back on track....it's not going to be by dwelling.....animosity, etc...Plus...I know......getting back on track and finishing season as good as before or even better....know something which will please me......you know?...so.....

You're a fan of Motorhead Jules? Friends with Lemmy?
I think I'm gonna put some in my stereo

At one time?.......maybe...possibly.....Eh....I come from that circle originally.....have written about that before......back then?.....it was all much different........(How everyone related to one another, treated one another, etc, etc......)...Going to catch them a lot I think this summer in a lot of places........(They had a limited release a long time ago....album cover was leather.......so...I took it in and had them turn that into the back of a jacket, and, remember he really thought that was pretty cool ....(probably first time I met him.....) Back then man...everything was different....Metallica slept on our floor pushing Kill Em All....all those guys...could name forever.......was a very cool time in history....No animosity, ill will.....etc...Friends?....well, didn't send each other Christmas cards......but, back then was seeing and hanging out with everyone....once saw and hung with them maybe 10 times in one year, so...thats pretty often....... might not call each other on phone but, I'd get a yell from him when walking in the room ....(and, of course, we took care of everyone....from indoor to whitey to H, so.......you know...name em...we hung, partied, and took care of them...sometimes in studio.(GNR, forgot which album)....different cities, et........)

(If someone reading a musician?.....People would actually listen to your stuff......ie: You have something, everybody says "fuck man, throw it in", let's check it out man!....party , listen, open and compliments, etc......they like your stuff, say so, etc.........try doing that these days .....

Slugs are the worst problem in my area too. Iron-III-Phosphate is my weapon against them. Need to apply it every couple of weeks though.

Ah...see, there ya go.....(Blackone)

Here weather is perfect. Full sun all the time and a good heavy rain every week or so. I planted a last batch on wednesday, just before a heavy rain, it rained yesterday as well and stayed overcast and today we have full sun again If the slugs won't kill them they should be fine.

Sounds good.....very good......Hope all is well, and stays well .....

Was just heading out, but, man...that shit above gave me some flashbacks man.........Yeah.....anyone who talks about partying and drinking?...........Pffffttt........was a level few could ever imagine let alone take part in......surprised so many of us actually lived ...Multi day binges...non stop.....

 

[blackone]

Yeah we're also using Ferric Phosphate here in Denmark. It's a little bit expensive but then again if it works it will be worth it. It definitely kills the slugs but it will only stop them from getting to my plants if they eat it and die first. Supposedly they stop eating soon after eating the Ferramol pellets and find a place to die in peace. So basically I just have to make sure there is enough of it around every single plant (Not enough seeds for numbers - this is a learning grow and I wanna make it good for every single plant)

 

[Indica_Dreamer]

I have a few questions Julian.

I have just invested in some water polymers for my outdoor crops. I have never grown successfully outdoors (had a plant last year but took it down a month before it flowered)... all my experience is from growing indoors.

Right now I have a few plants that are staring to out-grow their 2 gallon pots. I started them from seed 5/1/08. Right now they are in a location that I can water them very easily, and I water them every 2-3 days... and they have been getting some veg nutes as well.

I have to move them soon and I dont have a location picked out yet,... but I'm looking at places in walking distance from water (where I can fill up jugs), a location where people don't walk through very often, and also in with a suitable place to park somewhere near by (the edge of a large parking lot)... so far these criteria are the only thing I'm basing my plot-searching for. I was going to have two separate plots with maybe 5 plants at each plot.

I live at 39.9*N and we get 50.24 Inches of rain/year here.

I'm sort of worried about having to water these plants... even though we get a lot of rain. I know that the plants don't grow much when they've been dry for a spell.

Also, how would I get my soil mix to the plot? Mix it up in bins early on, put it in large bags and just carry a bag + shovel to the site? I plan on digging holes at least 2 weeks before I plant.

Whats your favorite soil mix? Right now I'm trying to go cheaper then buying bags of pro mix (peat based) and then amending them with more perlite and "rainbow mix" nutrients. I just picked up some bags of straight peat moss, I'm going to add perlite to that, some water polymers, some ferts and I would like to put in some earth worm castings for bacteria but that gets expensive...

 

[vod]

I know Lemmy just from a couple interviews I saw. Seems a nice guy. Intelligent too. I like his lyrics. I saw them first time live last autumn in Cologne. Was a cool concert and I was trippin' on my Grapefruit space cakes

Yeah man... party hard... I believe you guys, I believe. And am glad that some survived

Sounds good.....very good......Hope all is well, and stays well .....

Yeah! Same wishes to everyone.
Last time I visited one of them started flowering already (Easy Sativa from FMS). Now I just pray that nobody finds them, coz they are beyond animal damage and shit! I'd love to harvest them all

I'm quite happy with Ferramol. I didn't loose a single small plant. Just some damage later on bigger after I didn't apply a new dose after some heavy rain (and it was already about 4 weeks from the first application). I use a handful for 1 square meter more less. 10euro well spent I assure you.

 

[HOVAH]

THE WAY I SEE..... WHAT IT ALL BOILS DOWN TO IS....... B A L L S

DO YOU HAVE THEM BETWEEN UR LEGS ?

[Fast_Pine]

Whats up Monty,,,,,,Just checkin in..

Been a minute man, I see yer gettin by though..

Hope things are going well for you up there...Sounds like theres been some bullshit..(partners,insects, etc...) Certainly hope things come down well.

90 days......Dang, im starting too feel the pressure aswell,,and like you, have been "absorbing" alot recently. Really taking it all in..Learning alot.

Trying to push it to the limit..

What I can, When I can, Where I can...etc...Right?

The thread is coming along well,,,

 

[Julian]

I have a few questions Julian.
I have just invested in some water polymers for my outdoor crops. I have never grown successfully outdoors (had a plant last year but took it down a month before it flowered)... all my experience is from growing indoors.

Well, while in and out different animals, and carry with them completely different sets of nuances, details, you know.....being experienced in, knowing general life cycle and process of the plant invaluable.....so.....(growth rates, patterns, what to expect, what happens when, etc.....while different, being experienced in is priceless.....same overall concept, just playing a different set of rules and altering issues slightly......ie: Indoor, you know very well about nutes, medium, feedings, deficiencies, etc, ya know?....)

Right now I have a few plants that are staring to out-grow their 2 gallon pots. I started them from seed 5/1/08. Right now they are in a location that I can water them very easily, and I water them every 2-3 days... and they have been getting some veg nutes as well.

I have to move them soon and I dont have a location picked out yet,... but I'm looking at places in walking distance from water (where I can fill up jugs), a location where people don't walk through very often, and also in with a suitable place to park somewhere near by (the edge of a large parking lot)... so far these criteria are the only thing I'm basing my plot-searching for. I was going to have two separate plots with maybe 5 plants at each plot.

I live at 39.9*N and we get 50.24 Inches of rain/year here.

I'm sort of worried about having to water these plants... even though we get a lot of rain. I know that the plants don't grow much when they've been dry for a spell.

If your over 2" a month, doing holes, and using crystals?......No need to worry....your issues will be mold sooner then they will be lack of water....

As elsewhere.....if you prep holes, and, get them in before rains (and water when getting them in?.....) They should be good to go....I wouldn't worry about watering.....but, you should check your monthly first (instead of cumulative annual).....see how it's broken up depending on which months just to be sure first....

Also, how would I get my soil mix to the plot? Mix it up in bins early on, put it in large bags and just carry a bag + shovel to the site? I plan on digging holes at least 2 weeks before I plant.

Well, personal preference....how much work do you want to do?...Does it make more sense to prep offsite and bring in each hole? (ie: Either haul a certain number of bags on site, mix on site, prep on site.....orrrrrrrr.......You could pre mix at hole, at your leisure, and then divide it up into single "serving" bags for each hole (easier I think if your only running a couple plants....

But........

Depends on what your doing.,.........ie: a complete and total prep?......what is native soil?...can you utilize it to any degree (even cutting down 50% of what you have to bring on site is a huge thing...so....and, again, if your only doing a handful.....can save a lot of time and effort.....

All depends on what your working with and personal preference (as far as soil, native soil, and transport and mixing,prep, etc....)

What's best for you?....most efficient?....etc....might want to relax and go over that to see what you come up with......

Whats your favorite soil mix? Right now I'm trying to go cheaper then buying bags of pro mix (peat based) and then amending them with more perlite and "rainbow mix" nutrients. I just picked up some bags of straight peat moss, I'm going to add perlite to that, some water polymers, some ferts and I would like to put in some earth worm castings for bacteria but that gets expensive...

Well, I have my dry mixes, crystals, but, all depends, as above what I am working with.......

My preference is always to use native soil....but, depends on project, and, some current things, not an option (and others yes...just bring dry mix, etc) but, others, had to do full prep plus my dry mix (sandy op)....

All above doesn't sound that bad, but, again, check what your working with, because might cut your needs (what you have to bring in) in half if native soil at spots is nice...

Rainfall/watering?.....double check your monthly from planting to finish time, but, with 50".....your probably good to go (water when planting, plant before storms, etc....)

I know Lemmy just from a couple interviews I saw. Seems a nice guy. Intelligent too. I like his lyrics. I saw them first time live last autumn in Cologne. Was a cool concert and I was trippin' on my Grapefruit space cakes

Really?...........really?..........I've seen them like, fuck man....I couldn't even tell you........200 times over like.....25yrs?.....(some shows much louder then others ...)

Very cool guy......probably much different now then before....haven't seen him personally (hanging out) in many years....
[puote]
Yeah man... party hard... I believe you guys, I believe. And am glad that some survived
[/quote]
Me too man...yeah man.....excess at it's highest point ....

No one parties like that anymore.... (not that I have seen in many years...which is fine, cause, frankly, I don't either...don't want to.....and, was talking to some older friends yesterday that I spare anyone my stories these days cause no one believes them anyway, so...why even bother .....(Topic came up because one saying how he was telling a couple older stories to some people and they didn't believe a word of it , so, I figure why bother......

Yeah, back then, lot of hard shit also.......combinations were......well......just bad ..(Cid, H, hard liquor and such )..when you have any and everything at your disposal, and lot's of it?...well, you know..

Yeah! Same wishes to everyone.
Last time I visited one of them started flowering already (Easy Sativa from FMS). Now I just pray that nobody finds them, coz they are beyond animal damage and shit! I'd love to harvest them all

I'm the same...once this far in, issues change over to discovery from animal issues and such....

I'm quite happy with Ferramol. I didn't loose a single small plant. Just some damage later on bigger after I didn't apply a new dose after some heavy rain (and it was already about 4 weeks from the first application). I use a handful for 1 square meter more less. 10euro well spent I assure you.

I'll certainly keep that in mind myself should I run something which requires that addressed.....

THE WAY I SEE..... WHAT IT ALL BOILS DOWN TO IS....... B A L L S

DO YOU HAVE THE BALLS TO DIG 6000 HOLES?

DO YOU HAV IT.. TO GERMS 8,000 FEM. SEEDS ?

I don't know man.......I don't see it as such because there are so many ways you can control risk and such, etc.....and I seem to take a different view of some things then others...(working them in, places being safer then some thing, etc.....farm of AF's good example....I don't see that as risky, while some may....(but, I'm basing that on what I know about the world, patterns, life, etc.......so.....)

(I've never done 8k fems (seed) though.....would like to .....larger things like that are most of the time a big mix of M/F stock, then some fem, then some clones, etc...all depends, every project and season different...working with what I have.........which is always different, and why I am going to do runs for stock this year.....so I have different things available, etc, more fems, etc.....)

Yeah man....walking into later flowering locations is not a favorite of mine .....(Worst for me is cut and transport....now there's some risk ....everything else?...germing, holes?...eh, risk free as far as I am concerned....I'd germ 20k in a backyard across from a district headquarters........holes?.....eh.......anything up to early flower doesn't concern me.......I only see risk from early/mid flower to finish and bringing it in....

Whats up Monty,,,,,,Just checkin in..

Been a minute man, I see yer gettin by though..

Happy your checking in .....was wondering....little concern but assumed busy ....

Glad your around, glad your well, hope all is well ....

Hope things are going well for you up there...Sounds like theres been some bullshit..(partners,insects, etc...) Certainly hope things come down well.

Just focusing on moving forward...learning some new lessons ...making due with what I have .....so......optimistic about everything.....

Yeah man...lost more at one time, at one op then my entire life combined...I say it doesn't bother me, but......I think it did....Very much ...but, think I am really over it now....As long as season ends well.....that's all that matters ....

90 days......Dang, im starting too feel the pressure aswell,,and like you, have been "absorbing" alot recently. Really taking it all in..Learning alot.

Trying to push it to the limit..

What I can, When I can, Where I can...etc...Right?

The thread is coming along well,,,

Thanks man........want to get some pics in, but, haven't really been in that mode.......but, some interesting things...would like to get some when feeling good, have camera with me and not pissed off ....

Enlightenment is nice, isn't it ...I hear though that I am less a pleasure to be around when experiencing such, and getting the questions lately....ie: "Something wrong?, you alright?", etc.......I'm just thinking ....I can sit for hours at a time and not say anything....just thinking ....Contemplating, etc.....Life......ops....business...family....people....the world....etc........certainly something no one can figure out in a second .....(worst part is next month, or next year, etc, will be a whole nother round ....)

Have been in a couple situations fairly recently also which kind of put me over the edge as far as contemplation.....sometimes?...some thing, place, situations?....great impact.....

Plus....then, we try and put hat we learn and believe into practice, daily, and then see yet even more............and yet again we contemplate and alter I've been like that lately pretty much.....just a little too much "enlightenment"....

Glad your well my brother.........was wondering about you lately.......but, knew fine....just busy...........

 

[Indica_Dreamer]

About my native soil, Julian.

I recently popped some plants (non-pot plants) into some soil out back and it seems that only some of them rooted into the actual soil of the ground (the walls/bottom of the hole I dug). We planted a little pine tree last year and I dug up its brown ass this year... it hadn't shot any successful roots into the ground/surrounding broken up soil from the hole that I re-filled with after the plant was in the hole.

This soil has been used for growing corn and other things by farmers for many years before all the farm land was sold and turned into suburban communities... so I'd say it's okay, but i'm not sure how those farmers treated their fields, either.

Its pretty compact soil, you run into a good amount of larger rocks... but for the most part its just dense as hell brown dirt that you can see doesnt get a lot of air movement in it, and it's heavy.

I personally cant see using this soil for more then 30 percent of my final mix. I like lots of perlite (20-30%, large chunky perlite) and some earth worm castings. Like I said, I have only grown indoors before... so I'm actually not sure how well 25 percent perlite would work in an outdoor situation where I will be letting them go inbetween waterings. I will also use water crystals.

I guess this year will be mainly an experiment largely, as will every other year, but this is my first year outdoors... and in a few weeks I'll have all the 2'tall plants out on their own! Its scary. I love to care for my plants too much, sometimes.... topping and cropping every week or two, nutes every week and just a whole bunch of love.... when they get their move it will be different.

I'll learn how well my soil mixes in and grows pot plants, get used to going to and fro plot (which is a major mental block for me right now), and hopefully have a few oz of bud to smoke.

Julian, do you ever bring a bottle of nutes and a bunch of water to feed your plants like that.. or do you just rely on soil amendments (which to me seems they will only last a few weeks, through veg and such.. will the amendments still be there during flower with an intensity to add significant girth to buds?)

 

[marto]

Hey julian, care to elaberate on your enlightning experiences. Reason i ask is cuz i been hearing it alot from other people as well, seeing past all the bullshit, letting ego take a backseat and waking up from an illusion. Almost feels like time is running out or about to take a new form. Speeking of time, this MASSIVE thread is turning one year old. That alone has changed alot of peoples perspective on life and reality all in a very possitive way. Thanks for the good times. Hopefully the ride will continue on and on and on...........

 

[Indica_Dreamer]

And yah, this thread has helped me a lot, gave me tons of information for my upcoming grow... and is pushing me in the direction of what I always wanted to do.

About my native soil, Julian.
I recently popped some plants (non-pot plants) into some soil out back and it seems that only some of them rooted into the actual soil of the ground (the walls/bottom of the hole I dug).

Its pretty compact soil, you run into a good amount of larger rocks... but for the most part its just dense as hell brown dirt that you can see doesnt get a lot of air movement in it, and it's heavy.

How big was hole and what about surrounding vegetation?...A lot?.....none?....What kind of spot?......Sun all day?....

I personally cant see using this soil for more then 30 percent of my final mix.

I like lots of perlite (20-30%, large chunky perlite) and some earth worm castings. Like I said, I have only grown indoors before... so I'm actually not sure how well 25 percent perlite would work in an outdoor situation where I will be letting them go inbetween waterings. I will also use water crystals.

I guess this year will be mainly an experiment largely, as will every other year, but this is my first year outdoors... and in a few weeks I'll have all the 2'tall plants out on their own! Its scary. I love to care for my plants too much, sometimes.... topping and cropping every week or two, nutes every week and just a whole bunch of love.... when they get their move it will be different.

Well, the bright side is if talking a few weeks, your looking at late season.....so....should be able to handle finishing while you figure out what your working with for next season....

Depending on how many and where, I mean, you can do full maintenance (well, weekly, etc......) so, as far as caring........you can if you like, want, have access, etc.....

I don't know though about 30% native, 30% perlite, etc....(and then WC's and crystals......) Could also go as earlier, with some coco bricks for easier transport of supplies if your looking at that much rain.....(let rain expand, etc....some WC, coco, manure, compost, native, crystals, dry mix, etc....

I'll learn how well my soil mixes in and grows pot plants, get used to going to and fro plot (which is a major mental block for me right now), and hopefully have a few oz of bud to smoke.

Got it. Plot, access, etc.

Julian, do you ever bring a bottle of nutes and a bunch of water to feed your plants like that.. or do you just rely on soil amendments (which to me seems they will only last a few weeks, through veg and such.. will the amendments still be there during flower with an intensity to add significant girth to buds?)

Okay, several angles.....

1. As earlier......if I am going, I always try to bring something with (water, nutes), but, of course, can't bring in enough for all, so, spread out what I have, and, always bring some extra concentrate because might be some (water) on site in different places.....but, in general, no, I don't water all as general practice, and, as far as whatever in holes being enough?, well, I do also top feed...(but, again, keep in mind, your talking later season, so.....smaller plant, shorter time to finish, etc.....)

Depends what site also.....some have other access to water on site or neaby, so......I might bring just a little (maybe 30 gallons or so, whatever can fit in whatever we are taking there....) Maybe another 30 on site, so.......60 gallons...at most, and, the other thing I do is spread out....ie: If we are going , let's say, tomorrow to see spot.......water a little while we're looking (and top feeding)......if I go next week, not going to water or check the same ones, so....

Should also be noted I go a little strong on the mix depending, because each gets a little, and then top feed more...etc (ie: I might only get 100 watered with a liter each, but then top feed 500, etc.....and, again, next week?......different patches/plots, water different, top feed more, so.........depending on how many, takes couple trips to hit all (and maybe trim also.......) This year different from previous in many ways, but, not in those ways (ie: Hitting different spots, making the rounds, etc....)

If you can get in, access no problem, you can water (nutes) weekly, but, again, if your looking at heavy rains?.....might not make a difference..(might flush what you just added.........so...)

Early on, I hit holes pretty heavy with dry mix........and , then, ....I dunno....(thinking).....they get hit maybe 2 more times or so...so...maybe 3 times during season and a little water (maybe twice...so...maybe 2 liters and 3 top feeds.......)

I would think though at this point, if hole hit heavy and good mix......might be enough to carry it through......Everything else has some nutritional value also (WC's, etc.....) Crystals will absorb and release also your liquid (nutes), you can add dry, you can water later (liquid, nutes), so......

Hey julian, care to elaborate on your enlightening experiences. Reason i ask is cuz i been hearing it alot from other people as well, seeing past all the bullshit, letting ego take a backseat and waking up from an illusion. Almost feels like time is running out or about to take a new form.

Ego.......now there's something many have a problem with ..(Most?.......) Some would say that about me.......which is funny, since I am the one who speaks of only being what one is, and their place in world.....Me?....Ego?...I am nothing more than what I am....and, not unhappy with that.....but still strive to be more, so........and, regardless of what I may, or may not be?...In the "whole scheme of things"?.....am still nothing (as anyone is..........)

Well, I wouldn't have a problem with such........so....but, I mean, wtf would I start , ya know?.....Likewise.....what is such for me?......well, to another may mean nothing....But....I did highlight yours above

Time is running out Every single day that passes......and, what did you, me, or anyone else do with that day?......

Did you do something you always wanted to do?.......Of course not, because most don't......

They focus on work...or any other countless things which may not matter tomorrow and be gone

Anyone here could be gone tomorrow......(dead, busted, immobile, etc)...and,?....what did you do?

So many people have their wish lists (or will)...have their regrets (or will)...

Is that what ones life is about?............Going through an entire lifetime not doing everything they wanted to?

You know....I'm starting to address this, when, realistically, all of it, people will say "oh, yeah, I know", etc.......I can't say anything here to truly convey, and, most people don't really know....

This is real...........no dress rehearsal Tomorrow might be done for anyone here (myself included).....

I'll leave with this, about myself: I spent many years working for myself, for my family, my wife (ex).....my business's....etc....No vacations.....no time off....always thinking about final destination, etc......neglecting countless things that I wanted...

On the surface?........sounds like the right thing to do......sounds like the responsible thing to do....yes?......

Sure....except for one might very well reach a point where they lose everything regardless.......

And then what?........

You know, again......endless angles, and, no single thing, and, no way to explain a single thing......so.........really don't know what to say or even how to convey, as the above would be maybe a single aspect or so out of 100....so.......

Either one knows or they do not and if they know you don't have to explain and if they don't you never can

Bottom line would be what did anyone do with their day yesterday....or tomorrow...or last week.....Is it what you wished you always could?...

If not?.....well .....But, again, just the tip and no way I could even begin........(and, certain experiences also which made me realize many other things, etc.......and, can't even explain such experiences....not possible....anyway ..

Speaking of time, this MASSIVE thread is turning one year old. That alone has changed alot of peoples perspective on life and reality all in a very positive way. Thanks for the good times. Hopefully the ride will continue on and on and on...........

I just checked to see when actually .....Forgot was mid season.....(Now thinking about last year/season....good season for me....good crew.....looking back, very good team, got a lot done.....(despite problems here and there, etc.....)

Thanks man.......very kind of you to say and glad something of use.......interest, etc.....

And yah, this thread has helped me a lot, gave me tons of information for my upcoming grow... and is pushing me in the direction of what I always wanted to do.

Glad I could be of assistance on my part.....What it's all about right?...what we are here for?.....(well, should be...)......

Julian, I know you've dealt with clouds of mosquitoes before....How about deer/horse flies? Fuck I hate those things...I had a couple get stuck in my ear and nose....funny sound that makes.:smile:

Got it pretty good overall yesterday...At least 40 or 50 mosquito/fly bites on my face/neck alone. Probably just as many on the back/top of my head too...

Now, I don't know about 1000 bites , but I figure at least a couple hundred overall. Could be quite a bit more though...I'm sure they were all over my back and I didn't even notice. No ear ringing yet.:wink:

I'd been out of the bush for a few hours already, (was in for like 15-16, pretty exhausted) just sitting inside the house, relaxing, had some people over, and I still found myself swatting imaginary bugs away that I'd feel or hear.

BTW, you ever worry about getting some fucked up disease from all the bug bites?

Forget the bears and mountain lions...I worry about diseases..ticks, rattle snakes...The insidious shit that doesn't kill you outright, but can mess you up longterm.

What type of repellent did you say you've been using? I grabbed some stuff before I went out, 23% DEET was the best I could find just looking quickly. Didn't seem to help much....but who knows, maybe I would have been hit 10x worse without it.

Anyhow, good to hear about your life changing experiences. Take it easy man.

the other day at the cottage I saw this handyman bust out this cool electric pump. He used it to bail the water out of the boat, simply hooked it up the boat's battery and it pumped the water out. A tiny pump that unloaded 20 gal/hour; not bad. Anyone come across something similar but larger? This is incredibly stealth in the bush, no need for gas. As quiet as possible and smooth.
