Thanks Bone, it truely was heart brake'n, but seen that they grow and then press them selfs agianst the plastic becoming visible and over crowding them selfs for any decent bud growth, so cutting back has been necesary, I hope this to be the last cut back....jejee and well I had to get rid of the evidence, figure'd the best way was up in smoke ;) Beleave me man, I was stand'n right next to that fire with a fatty in hand.

The molds...thats just so people can see how nasty things can get.

Mriko,
Somthign I miss about Overgrow, you click on the pic and it would give you the heading....Here you have too go to my gallery too see thier names for some reason, I didn't realize this till you just let me know, sorry, but thanks for the heads up as I'll try to post them along with each pic.

Hope all is cool runnings indeed,
blessed.

jeje na, wish it did...it smelt like just burning bush, but yeah a realy sharp machete was used. Kinda looked the other way when I did it too, jsut one of those "this will hurt me more then you" kinda deals.

gorgeous pics like always chaman. the pic you asked about was a lil purple skunk floating through the area.

my shitty cam can't do it justice but its mottled purple, covered in bright white trichs and very powerful. fruity floral purple smell.

Chaman thank god your not my neighboor, otherwise I will dig a hole to visit your green house!!! no just kidding,
RAco beatiful plant and pics, love guerrila style.
Chamas feliz 15 de setiembre, nada como un purito patriotico para celebrar!!
Regarding for the bushes burning, they smell very much to mariguana, but normal bushes in costa Rica when burning smell like maria juana, that's why some people call it "monte" because that particular beatiful smell, jeje sorry, I just got carried away....

PazVerdeRadical, the highest part of the greenhouse, along the wall of my nieghbor is about 12feet little more, about (3.60mts) the lowest is 11 at the front I think. What kind of trees did you plant ? since you said you would be starting other non smokable plants too I mean....jeje

I hope things are cool runnings for you agian soon.

motaco,
That purple skunk realy looks nice, I hope you enjoyed that beyound your own beleaf ! jejej as I can only wish to sample some, seems like you can never have enough good bud...some one always has too have a bud you'd like that you don't have....jeje maybe the grass realy is greener eh ? ejjeje ;)

Muy rica, can kinda almost imagine the taste from my own skunks I remember, they due give a nice punch too ;)

Wamen,
Very kind of you to have taken time to stop by, and thanks for the kind words, how have things been in your grows ? All beter then you expecte I hope !

Raco ! jeje estan preciosas tu Sativas, you got enough time it seems liek too, you cold season won't start for a good few more months right ? Crossing my fingers for a great finsih indeed.

Aleph,
jeje na man just ring the bell....you'd have to jump a tapia de 3metros con alambres and then runnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn!!!!!!!!!!!! Cuase I got 4 great dogs indeed, decent alarm too, I got a wirless set up, so a sensor for movement in my greenhouse too....its funny cuase I often forget to disable it and set it off when I walk in, and then got too run back to the house to disarm it cuase the loud siren.

They do call it monte, since it burns just about everywhere it seems jejeeje but na it didn't realy smell like Marijuana, maybe since it was so green...mabye cuase the dry sticks underneath too burn it, but it was a sad funeral sevice indeed jejejejej, but did tell my wife, when I die you fill the damn casket up and have me burrned with them then spread my ashes in my gardens ! I'm gona have my self stuff in marijuana lol need alot to take with me, shit seeds too cause I'll smoke that up before my next harvest in the sky ;)

Then agian...what if every joint we burnd here is wait'n for us there ? jejeje I was told once when I was young (prob jsut to make me feel better) that is I wrote letters to my mom and burn'd them shed get them...well shit i've burned a whole lot of faties in my life that I hope are wait'n somewhere !

Damn, talk about gettign carried awa eh ?

Cool & calm (try'n jejeej)

Thanks Chaman for getting carried away with the camera. :D Besides the mold, the greenhouse is looking amazing. Maybe you need more fans in there. Hate to see cannabis being burned like that, unless you're inside a tee-pee.

chaman - thanks for giving the heigth dimensions of ur green house - made me change my plans... since i must have been silly - i was thinking to make it only about 2,5 m high max. now i better make it those 3,5 meters - :D

hehe - at berber weddings in the sahara it was once custom to put kief-bundles (the dry weed they use for making the hash) on the charcoals of a fire inside a closed tent (haima). obviously this was for the men only hehe :D

peace all :D

Hey Chaman, Raco and all you other guys! Nice to eh "see" you again! =) Long time since... I see you're all doing great still. Your green fingers are still impressive as always Chaman! Wish I could say the same though. Only tomatoes , chili and orchids in my garden right now... Hehe. But at least there is something!

See you guys around!

Irie! =)

Hola Chaman, gracias for giving the height, i asked because i recently met a guy who has a greenhouse that looks kind of like yours, but it is not as tall, and he has much more mold and fungus problems... Bone, make your roof as tall as you can pull it off, key to keep good air-flow in there.
by ´planted precious little trees´ i meant yours Chaman! hehehe... but a friend and i are planning to plant some fruit trees like apricots/peaches, and other non-tree fruits like strawberries maybe... but nothing sure yet. in the temple now that there´s no more cannabis in there, i planted a grape plant, but it is real small still... i dunno what else to plant in the temple though, everyone recommends orchids but i dunno...
overgrow.
peace!

Long time lurker here, always enjoyed your grows Chaman, and having visited CR in '05, I can invision your joys & sorrows in growing there.
This thread is like 'comfort food', reassurring to see all of you old time OGers here! :wave:
I have to grow sativa doms here to avoid mold issues, but nothing like your beautiful tropicals!

Hey Bacchus, good to see you here as well. Have 7 'Rocketwrecks' (Apollo 11 X Trainwreck) going, and a couple have more pronounced sativa leaves than the rest. Started them late, and they never branched out. Hopefully they'll fill out into 'war clubs'. I'll be racing against the frost!







Stay green, everyone! (the former Resin N.V.)

Bummer to see the mold...but those buds look great

Last time in CR we could smell the sativas growing in May...everywhere we went you would catch whiffs...could be mente, or just you...lol I know there is some good stuff growing down there, but so damn pricey! jeje maybe its just from growin my own it seems so much, but 120 for a legit bag of crypt is insane!

enjoyed reading your thread, pura vida!

soon to be ex-patriot transplant, og'er since 01

Pipe line,
Hey jejeje yeah....sometimes I think about the space here, OG had a limit to, jejeje but for some reason I was able too go over beyound, and i'm talk'n over did it jeje but they kept letting me add more ;) It's great you take time too stop by and check them out, after all a thread is only as great as those who post in it.

I got to work on putting headings on each pic, but jeje i can only log on while im at work...jeje yeah so it's high season in the overshore gaming and work has been CRAZY ! but yeah not cool too look at something with out realy have'n an idea what it may be. In my gallery though the titles are present.

bonecarver_OG,
Yeah a good over haed helps as heat rises and also to have plenty of passive vents you can open and close, screen covered idealy. I should add more active exhausts I feel and a fw more circulate'n wouldn't harm much I feel, but most of all...even though it hurts i've got to thin out under my plants...got too get an air pasage underneath them and over them ejjeje if posible between them ! My greenhouse from out side may not look as larg, but you got to step into it, as I didn't wish for buckets too be seen from out side. Just a mass a green unrecongnizable mess...untill they press apon the plastic ! jeje

Hey thanks for that great peace of info too by the way, jeje if I ever "realy" (with a ceramony and alll that, jeje not just us and a lawyer) get married that would be a great way indeed !

Checksum,
A strong hug too you indeed, I hope you visit more often ofcourse !, as to yoru garden, thats awesome ! everytime I try too I can pull off a few harvests but after a while my vegtables sour out...not sure if it's me, or just their life cycles as my cusin says..."they are comercial plants, ment for a good harvest, and to be clean out after it " but my hot pepers are great, they can keep going, its the sweat pepers and tomatoes and others that seem to die out, same with my berries...jeje if it ends in berry I tried it ;)

A grape vine would be interesting as my morning glorys and others due awesome. Thats a great idea Paz, but do you lie in a climate apt for grapes ? Orchideas due realy nice here and truely are treasures wait'n to open each time they amaze me more. I've got 2 peach trees that more then feed us and the birds jeje nice to go out pic a few and walk about the yard, then grab some nisperos, then a manderine, mabye an orange, jeje always got some banans hang'n to mature too....before you know it your stuffed and haven't even had brakefast yet and half way through your mañanero muy loco trip'n on flowers aroudn he yard. Then I wonder why ive been getting fatter jejej

Bacchus !
Wonderfull surprise indeed to see you visit, and to share some pics, well must say thats realy cool of you to hae taken the time, that sativa looks lanky, but filling nice on the branches ! thats the way my first Dalats grew, lanky as stems, but then would fill out completely on the branches not leave'n a bare peace of stemm at all ! My Colombians have much better over all spaceing, some thais look lanky as first too...it's nice too see such variety in our loved plants !

Thanks agian, and can only wish the best for you and yours.

HighLighter,
Glad you decided to post ! and very nice pics, jeje I inda wish mine would grow stright....i'f be able to line up ! jejeje but na they grow into each otehr fast. Yours looks great, but how much more time do you have the colder nights set in ? and would i be to dificult to keep her roots warm at night and bring her out in the day till she finishes...liek a dark closet at night and out in the sun during the day...then agian looking at the pic it seems your far from home and prob for a good reason. Shes realy looking great, maybe a month and a helf would due some great justice if your have'n good weather.

Thanks agian for share the pics, jeje I wonder how many more are out there reading over us and checking our pics but haven't posted

Pato !!! it's been a realy long time since i've heard from you too !!! thanks for stop'n in and say'n hi, it's always good to know thigns are cool and calm down south :) I hope you can get some updates in your thread soon, would be nice to see what you have been up too !, ejje and ofcourse your pics are alway welcome here too !!

killabrown420,
May isat the end of our dry season, soem scated showers then and now, but yeah some of those who put in plants late, or had stuburn to finish crops would be those as must try to have harvest there crops by may, to start the new baches to grow during the rains and start to mature intime for the dry season by December.

Menta and yerba buenas are plants grown frecuently, ejjeje but most of those who grow then have them for a reason. jejee its a great cover up indeed wouldn't you say ?

Well hey folks, my best to all and thanks for the kind coments, can only hope you are all enjoy some of your own buds too....jeje nothing liek the smell when you walk into a greenhouse with plants just about ripe...it's one of those moments when I give thanks for my sences. To not be able too see a bud...to not be able to smell a bud, or taste a bud, jeje not be able to feel a buds stickness....na man life just wouldnt be the same.

Chaman
