Uncirculated OG x Pre-Soviet Afghani

this is the last survivor (her sister got uprooted last week during high winds, it was the only plant whose cage wasn't pinned down with a t-post)

if you're following along this is what happened to the WiFi#3 x Snow Lotus that got crushed by a tree.

We were able to save the bottom half of the plant, and she is growing nicely again, although only 4 feet tall. We also put 2 more babies in the pot to make up for the damage, they are Bubba x Kali Mist

Absolutely beautiful picture. How are those t-posts standing up? I drove one in the ground yesterday and it took forever in this hard ground, not sure I will ever get it out. Looks like yours are not drove too far into the ground, please explain. Anything I can do to avoid more pounding would be huge. Thanks again.


TPost puller makes quick work of getting them out


Rhino makes a 4 stroke gas powered pounder that works really well when you need to bang 300+ posts...

I enjoy pounding tposts..when ya get older you will see what I mean. 300+ ya def rent a machine! but 100 no problem, step back young flower children while grown men work!! I waited till the winter rains to pull mine but a handful were anchored permanently to the earth

cant pound em like I used to though, kinda miss them days. true story I put a dude in the er with a pounder :) he was holding the post and I was pounding the shit out of it and my pounder came off and then down on dudes arm...felt really bad about it but luckily it wasn't broken. dude was laying on the ground and first thing he said was "ohhhhh ya long stroked it" lol!

Man. Poor girl, I've dealt with all the bs one can deal with this season and it's not over! I def feel your pain. My fence fell on my girls at my house, dealing with landlord at the property, broad mites on 3 confirmed plants at property, neighbors tried getting us kicked out early in season back in April and may at property, I' ive had numerous plants fall but survived with broken branches because there cages weren't staked down (blaming schrews for that one) haha sure I'm leaving a 100 other things but otherwise good season. And alot of my indicas are taking there sweet time to go in heavy bloom lol

Pretty sure I mentioned to stake down your cages if you're going to use them at least 4 to 5 times this Spring !!!

Sounds like you're going through it Meds !! How did an entire fence fall down? Were you there when it happened?

you called it. We only had left one cage unstaked , of course the wind snapped the entire plant at the base.

Meds215 sorry about your girls, this season has been tough on a lot of people (and plants)

I totally hear you guys.
This last indoor run was the worst run in 3 years. The Landlord had a real estate agent walk through my apt when I had 24 GG#4's at week 6 of veg ready to be flipped. Got through that breakdown-set-up-dash n stash unscathed, got promised he wasnt gonna sell the house just yet, flipped my girls, at week 6 1/2 I had to put them outside to finish, cause hes sellin the house and people are coming to look at it. Wouldnt even give me 12 more days.

They got a full 24hr light period from the transfer from in to out. They've been getting 15 hours of light a day. So there on a 15/9 schedule. Although the outdoor full season plants are flowering it still bothers me a great deal.

Thats what makes us so versatile and tough. We work it out and pull off impossible harvests by staying diligent and reaping what we sow at the end of the year.
Sounds like you'll still pull a heavy harvest Meds! Great Job this year with everything you've had to deal with man!

2 Flo x OG (rare dankness)
1 AC/DC x Good Medicine (bodhi seeds)

these girls are doing well in the 400gal pot. The Flo x OG is a vigorous hybrid, lots of stretch but still good structure.

Everything looks great in here Shcrews! I haven't been around much lately, but I'm tagged up now and will be watching through harvest. I like the variety of genetics you have in the garden dude. I definitely want to run a couple Cherry Pies outdoor next year. Those backup Kali Bubbas caught my eye too. Keep it green bro!

Growing cherry pie for the 3rd year, and for some reason I just don't like her. The buds come out nice, but she is a fickle bitch.

Will you quit taking all those amazing sunset photos!! I now water in the morning so I'm not disappointed by my sub par sunset.

Do you feed your sunset? Is there a sunset dance/ ritual I could be doing? Maybe I could be less green and offset my offset carbon foot print with some more carbon?

our spot faces west, we are the highest property on the hill so there's good view of the sunset all year round and since we are at 3000ft elevation and we can see over the whole central valley we get lots of cool cloud effects. Still though, nothing beats watching the sun set over the pacific ocean. This is by my place in santa cruz i might have already posted these, but i'm into this shit.
