Mickey Mice's continuous grow thread and various complaints and rants.

[MickeyMice]

I been growing since the summer between 10th and 11th grade mostly outdoors. Had some good years and bad. I been through a bust for growing indoors back in 1997. Every once in a while it made for some really nice Christmas's for my kids. One grown in his 30's and one has gone on. My days of buying and selling are way behind me. I basically grow for myself and every once in a while I will give some to any one of my friends who are down on their luck which is rare. Money does grow on trees - if you plant the right ones... I have a stick built room. forgive me for being bad at the metric system but I will try... It is about a meter and a quarter wide 2.5 meters deep and 3.25 meters tall. I prefer hydroponics not because I think it is faster but at one time I thought it was cleaner. That is not always true. I have switched to LEDs. I am currently about 3 weeks into flowering of a run of some "Alleged" Chimera #3... I actually think I got ripped off by the seed company they came from but that is another story. I operate out of a giant tote. Recirculating solution, bubblers with timed watering. I will get some pictures up later this evening or tomorrow early. Window unit A/C built into the wall. Smack bad in the center, almost, of IL - US. I have a current medical card which allows me 5 plants but I am going to let it go when it comes up for renewal. I am about to get in a PM fight - I know that. You will see from the pictures posted soon. I gotta run some errands - but lights just came back on. I wont leave ya hanging too long.

Thanks for posting friend. I'm looking forward to riding with you for a while. Good luck and keep us posted.

I am going to post some pictures... I operate out of a tote. Recirculating solution which gets changed every 7 to 14 days depending on several factors.. Times to go off for about 15 seconds - currently every 45 minutes. - - I have a double bubbler but currently it is set extremely low... Dehumidifier... Exhaust fan as a back up in case the wall/window AC ever gives out... Light is a Photontek 600 Pro. Unfortunately for me... I let this current veg about a week - maybe 2 longer than I normally do and I am quickly running out of space.

Genetics is suppose to be Chimera #3 - - Right, wrong or indifferent from Copycat Genetics..

Smell was for the longest time Skunky.. Mix between #1 and RKS - But it is changing to a wine / brandy smell is best I can describe it.... Almost like Vicks 44D cough syrup...

I am currently running general hydroponics grow - micro and bloom - and a little but of stuff to try and keep the root rot extremely minimal.

I am a Long Long way from the finish line and a TON of stuff can still go - grow - wrong... Not super happy with the length of the stretch. - - - I plan to post here updates about once a week

 

[MickeyMice]

More stuff... - -

The broken tape measure is exactly 2 feet (2/3rds) of a meter?

Plants overall are 4 foot or a meter and a quarter tall...

Too tall compared to what I am used to usually growing and doing...

 

[MickeyMice]

3 weeks into the flip - or - 12/12

Total Time...

For me - a couple grows back - I started counting when they actually start showing - so... Properly... According to me - I am at the extreme end of week 2 of flower

For all out there,I'm CC a MA outdoor dude since mid 80's,I'm late 50's,The prices on CopyCat's site are for show,you join the guy's e-mail and the prices are at this moment 5pks/250 or 10 pks./400. Just sign up for his email and every week you'll get one when he puts out another strain. I got flack on another grow site cause alot of people hate the dude. I'm from the same area so he doesn't seem as cocky as he does to mid-wester/southerners/Euro's,the accent and all the talk. A lot of indoor people say hermie this/hermie that,but what are their practices/skills not to mention I don't run a indoor grow. I'm not a fan boy,I've run a decent amt. of his shit and had some nice plants outdoors. It's a touchy subject w/people so I don't mention it much,I don't get off on trolling/arguing back/forth w/ people. He claims to have his own indigenous hormone reversal spray that is not STS/colloidal silver. I've seen his reversals and they are healthy as a FK,none of the fried/beat down yellowed,burnt look of typical reversed plants.The main reason I'm posting this is simply trying to save a few fellow bros. $$$$$ if they have interest in anything on his site,I will not mention this again as this subject has proven to be laden w/drama in my experience.Like I said I'm not a fanboy,he does grind on some people regarding his practices(S-1) reversals of newest hot fire cuts or his attitude,personally I've never had a prob./the old adage TO EACH THEIR OWN applies.

Smells like a mix of Skunk and adult cough medicine sort of like a Jagermeister... Best I can describe it.

Is that what you two think it smells like?
That is quite the spread for describing the same plant.
Sounds a lot like here we never say the same thing.
