Thank you all for the support, through posts and private messages - it's helped cheer me up quite a bit to know that I have so many friends pulling for me. I had achieved a peaceful life here, and I only want to grow medicine for myself and others. I have no room for negative energy in my life. This move will distance me from a lot of negative energy sources, and allow me to achieve a balance again. I really appreciate all of the good vibes!

I'm trying to look at the positive side to this, and believe that I can find it. The new venue will be much, much better - with more power available, more space to utilize, and more security than ever. The best part is I'll have peace, and privacy to do as I wish.
Cash is going to be tight for the next while, but money grows on trees around here doesn't it? Time to tighten up the belt and get my nose back to the grindstone is all..

I hope that you all have a great weekend, I'll be sure to take some time to have a puff and reflect, but it's mostly going to be boxes boxes boxes for me.

For your continued readership and support, I truly thank you all. If it all goes as planned, I'll be back sooner than later.
Be safe, and keep an eye for updates in the near future,
-Che

Hey bro looking forward to seeing the new grow pad. Sometimes you just need to pack up and get away. I myself am taming down a bit on what I have going, concentrating on the seed bus.... it's what makes you happy that's the most important!!!

There will be a gift awaiting you when your ready bro.

Just a quick update:

Everything looks to be on track for the new pad. Just deciding how to go about setting up the new grow spaces now, I'll have a temporary veg room and a temporary bud room while I frame up the flowering area. Tons of space.

I had some time to kill and a few males so I've thrown pollen tonight. Working with a strong Sour Puss male, and sour candy female Sour Puss as well as a Pineapple C99 female and a nice C99 male:

Sour Puss F2

(Sour Candy Pheno)Sour Puss x C99

I love pollen!!

I'm going to be taking pics at the new venue next week, so stay tuned!
Thanks for reading, and be safe!!

Hello readers! I'm just popping in to say that all is well, the new place is huge, and I'll be back later on with some pictures! I have a very nice Sour Puss phenotype to show off, some incredible looking (and smelling) C99, and a few other gems I just couldn't bring myself to cull before tearing down at the old location. I'm glad I saved them!!
Thanks to everyone for all the positive vibes, I made it through the gauntlet reasonably unscathed!
Be back tonight with a real update!!

Further Underground...

Further Underground...

Hello again everyone! Your long awaited photo update is here!!

Veg area is a small cellar storage area, bricked in and simply pulling air from the basement into the room, and exhausting it through a scrubber back into the basement. We simply stapled up poly and got the air and lights going, it was super simple! Light is a 400w mh, with a few CFL's in the room for side lighting and clones..

A very cramped veg area

I gave my OGA moms a serious clipping and here are some of the clones, sitting in water with very mild GH nutes and a drop of ST..

OGA Clones!!

One of my manitoba meds seed moms dropped a mature F2 seed, which germinated in her pot, so I moved it to it's own 3 gal grow bag..

MM#2 F2 seedling

I've been hard on this next plant, yet I've managed to root a few clones anyways. I'll give them a month or so in the veg area to get well established then flip them and finally reap the rewards..
CITxLifesaver!

I've got a well established C99 #2 clone getting some legs before she goes into flower.

REv's C99 #2

A pretty little flo #3 clone..

DJ Short's Flo #3

And I'll finally be able to get some of these in there as well: My SPGxNL!

Now onto the flowering area!!
I didn't have the camera handy during the "temp tent" construction, but it's up an running, only took a couple hours to put it together. We used 2x4's, tied into the floor joists, and made an 8x8x8 frame, then stapled BW poly to with some cardboard.. added a Can50 w/ speed controlled vortex fan, 800ws of air cooled CMH and a batwinged 400w HPS in the middle, and you've got yourself a flower tent! Using a simple passive intake, the tent has serious negative pressure when it's sealed up.

Here is a shot from outside the tent when it is wide open:

Flowering Tent - 800w aircooled CMH, 400w Batwing HPS, Can 50

Some close ups of the girls that survived the trip...

This infection is spreading... here we have the fabled "Burning Rubber" pheno type of the Zombie Virus..

Zombie Virus #5

And up next is my beautiful Sour Puss.. I'm calling this pheno the "Alley Cat" type.
Main Cola

Sour Puss - Alley Cat pheno @ 8 weeks

Side bud..

Sour Puss - Alley Cat pheno @ 8 weeks
The above plant is ridiculously huge compared to it's siblings.No nanners as of yet, seems very happy and solid. I'll give it a few more weeks to fill out before harvest. This plant is seeded on a lower branch with F2's as well.

This C99 is so incredible looking, and early too. Almost done at about 7 weeks.. pineapple bouquet is incredible! Supplied a friend a clone along with a small wet sample and he told me that once dried, it was "Dripping with (pineapple) flavour". Awesome, it'll be a while yet before I get to taste it...

REv's C99 #1 - Pineapple pheno

Other plants not shown up close include bagseeds Red Rhino, IF1, H twin, and Sky Crinkle leaf pheno, as well as the reputed breeders work including Flo, Chunky Cheese, and several other ZV and Sour Puss phenos. I will probably separate the strains into individual cabs for improved breeding and monocropping the keeper phenos in the future. I'm going to start planning a spare bedroom grow as funds permit as well...

Well, looks like that's it for pictures for me for now, but I'll be back with more later on! Gotta get some Flouros for the clones I'll be pumping out, and start planning the cabs/rooms that I want to build. Working towards a green winter and looking forward to an overgrown 2010!

Thanks for reading and your continued support!
Be safe!

Hey sack! If you check out my old gallery, and my albums, there are some photos of the different red rhino plants I have grown out in the past. The seeds came from a large batch of lightly seeded commercial sativa in 2006, and the actual lineage is unknown, although I have read references to it online as being comprised mainly of White Rhino and Red Devil.
It takes a very frustratingly long time to flower but there are those who are willing to wait for this particular plant, at least until a suitable replacement can be provided. A good sativa is an important part of my medicinal repertoire.
