I ran them in 5 liter pots, and they reached approx 1,50 in height. These F2's seem to me to have less of a stretch then the Mr.Nice SSH i have run before.

Thanks alot DocLeaf :D Those are resting comfortably in my jars now. SSH F2 and Cheese/SSH grow is hereby concluded for. The room is empty, except for one sad looking TNT mix sativa which is coming down momentarily. This does not mean however that the thread is over guys, on the contrary this is where it kicks off. :D

One cheese/ssh has been selected for revegging, thatd be pheno nr#4 as described earlier in the fritillary thread.
One SSH F2 has already been revegged and is ready to take cuts from. I will find room for some of these in the next run aswell I have figured.

To sum up the grow with a few words I would have to mention that the yield exceeded even my mid-way expectations. In my humble experience, especially the Cheese/SSH is an exceptionally high yielder. And this shit is dank too, no doubt. She made our hall of fame room, among our most revered motherplants.

So there you have it, Arcticsuns verdict on the Cheese/SSH; reccomended! Let me find a collection of links for everyone so you can find more information on the Cheese/SSH. Smokereports and whatnot.

hei lmt :wave: I lige så min venn! :D

Yes idd the bud to leaf ratio is excellent, the structure of the plant and leaves allows plenty of light penetration. They should be good for scrog setups aswell i reccon.

Big phat buds. Looks great. Im wondering what that sheeting on you wall is. Im in the process of building i little room myself. Of plywood. Original idea was just to paint it white. Do u think thats enough, or should i purchase something like u have?

arcticsun

That material i bought a coupple of years ago, its called mylar. It was pretty cheap then, I think its expencive as hell these days.

If you are on a budget, white paint is ok, money better spent on other stuff tbh.

arcticsun

the material i use is called mylar. Seems they charge a hell of a lot of money for mylar these days. If you can even get that type anymore .

Id say if you dont have a huge budget, go with the paint and put the money into something else maybe.

Thanks bro, Im feeling better already.

Lately I've thought much about the recent worldwide trend of submitting to apathy in relation to matters which influence our own reality. There is so much blaming of others for our misfortunes and problems.


There is no one but You who makes the choices in your life, if we dare to go our own ways, and make our own paths.

picture.php



Then others will follow the path.

And it will lead you to where you want to be..

If you don't like where the path is leading, then don't follow it!


Paint the world my friends, the world is your canvas! :artist:

^ You packing rifles or is that just tent stuff in the tall baggy things?
Nice pictures :)

Thanks bro, no rifles on those picture, there is nothing to hunt on the tundra. The word nothing itself had no meaning to me until I started hiking on the plains as a teenager. The backpacks need to be big because we carry everything we need to survive except protein which we get from the abundant trout population in the lakes and rivers. Ive done psychedelics out there, its an experience I simply cannot put into words.




How about some hunting pictures, can you stomach that?...
Sure you can, its educational in these modern days :D :D Hell I grew up knee deep in fish guts. When the men came back from the sea us kids had to go down and help gut and clean the fish by the seashore. Its a lesson im glad the old folks had the good sense to teach us. Nothing straightens a kid out like a couple of hours with frozen fingers deep inside bloody and slimy fish guts. Tearing and cutting at it and throwing spoils around while a thousand white seagulls fight over the fish heads and other delicacies. Screaming and making one hell of a noise, its some spectacle to be seen.




The pictures ill show is from last winter, when a huge cargo ship with Siberian timber capsized and had to drop its cargo in order to maintain afloat. The ship was just passing around the infamous north cape, some 800 or so km north of the arctic circle, coming from the new ice free ports in northwestern Russia when it sailed into a storm and almost got blown ashore.




The pre-cut wooden planks from the cargo washed up on the small barren uninhabited and wind torn islands which create the outer weather barrier of the Scandinavian arctic coastline. These rocky little islands are so weather worn that they consist of nothing else then icy rocks, some moss and a few grass patches on the least windy places. All humans are forced by the powers of nature to live only in the inner parts of the flooded valleys known as the fjords, which were created by the glacial flow of inland ice into the ocean during various periods of GW.
Among these little islands are a maze of underwater rocks in addition to the winds from the open sea coming directly from the north pole. There is also the powerful ocean currants which echo underwater through the fjords and sounds and between the islands to create the infamous maelstroms which the area is so well known for. All the while, the gulf stream is pouring warm water into the area and creating continuous low pressure systems throughout most of the year. And if that wasnt enough, this was midwinter, and also midway into the arctic dark season so the total amount of duskish daylight was about 5-6 hours or so, with no hope of seeing the sun whatsoever until weeks later.





We headed out on a driftwood salvaging mission, also hoping to tag some seabirds on the way. We had to be quick and alert, no time to waist, and no man to spare. 5 hours of light, tick-tock... Naturally no people means no roads so we had to go by sea in case that wasnt clear. :dunno:

Uhhmm, this last picture kind of gives the wrong idea. You simply cannot afford to be stoned out there on those islands on the mission we were on, this picture is from the trip back home. We didnt use those rifle bullets either, we tagged the seabirds with shotgun. So ill state again that the picture gives the wrong idea and its purely a personal sport item of mine. We do not use guns and drugs at the same time :yes:, neither do we go out on the arctic ocean in an open boat all baked. Thats suicide!

With that I wish you all happy adventures in 2010 :artist:

Hehe :)
Thanks for the story and pictures. Very kool m8..
Looks a bit cold tho, for my liking. Got enough of camping in the cold when i was in the army, don't get me wrong, it's fun, coupled with scenic hiking it's even better, but damn i don't like to camp in the cold!

Trying to get pööza exited about going to Norway for a hike.. In the summer :) :dance013:

Thanks for the great stories, arcticsun. Beautiful and desolate country you've got up there. And excellent photos, as usual - hope you'll be able to get back to it sooner rather than later.

Personally I prefer it a bit warmer where I am, at least Chicago weather or better! Ever think of moving towards a more southerly clime? Or has it always been 'home' to you, and you like it where you are just fine?

Some folks also just prefer not being around so many people. Same reason folks move out to the desert, a whole different pacing to things, and very grounding, too. If so, I can sympathize...

I agree, people should get out and do some real work every now and then, especially the young. Helps to establish a good perspective on things.

Best of luck,

Hehe I served a year in the army aswell so I feel you my friend, I was stationed on the Lofoten islands in the arctic so I know all about army camping in the cold. But dont worry, camping out with friends and loads of smoke under the midnight sun by a salmon river is a completely different sport. All around the countryside there are like little music festivals and culture festivals all through summer up here, camping is real accessible and even the camping cottages are very cheap. Its like 40-60 euros pr day for a basic 4-6 person camping cottage by a salmon river or some scenic place. Some attractions are more pricey.
I would love to take you around and show you the scenery guys, ive got room for you as well for some days if you'd want to hang. No problem. :grouphug: There is also a great music festival scene here with many great festivals around. Usually the biggest festivals headline some major stars, we've had snoopdogg, 50cent, iggypop, mashinehead etc etc etc +++ many big names just over the last 5 years. They come just to rock out in the midnight sun, it gets pretty crazy, there is like a hippie scene here too. Several little islands are like hippie communities and they host their own festivals and that gets even more crazy... so, im just saying .. get your ass up here!! :D

Very well said, the world is your canvas. Nice photos, very inspiring and life affirming.

Thanks friend :yes: thanks for posting also, we're midway into the dark season here now and thats about the time I get alittle .. hrm.. dreamy is a good word :D I realize such a message is a bit passive aggressive maybe, but ohwell. I guess its what midwinter feels like :D

Thanks for the great stories, arcticsun. Beautiful and desolate country you've got up there. And excellent photos, as usual - hope you'll be able to get back to it sooner rather than later.

Thanks mate :wave: im glad you liked them, its so dark outside atm so I have plenty of time to look through old photo albums and make posts. Most of the time in the dark season is naturally spent eating and sleeping mostly & other inside activities like smoking and trolling forums hehe.

Personally I prefer it a bit warmer where I am, at least Chicago weather or better! Ever think of moving towards a more southerly clime? Or has it always been 'home' to you, and you like it where you are just fine?

Sure Ive thought about moving south many times, and I actually did a high school year just south of Chicago btw. Some little place called Lake Village in Indiana, by the Kankakee river not far from the Illinois border. Right in the middle of the corn belt. I also spent some weeks in manhattan, NJ and Orlando Florida. Disneyworld, Universal studios and all that. Chicago winters by the way are much colder then winters here. We never get those extreme cold temperatures because of the gulf stream which hits us directly. Tomorrow its due to rain here, which isnt normal for the time of year but its never colder then -15C or so on the coast. So the cold is a bit overrated.

But there are many good reasons for me to stay here, the peacefulness of the place, its magic. Its just magic. Oh a hundred thousand reasons to stay, all the animals and the freedom and the midnight sun and the northern lights and the salmon and troutfishing. The shere beauty melts my mind every time I go out. And I kind of look at it as my promised land, the ice is melting because of GW and I want to see what is under it. :D Its like a deep sense of belonging here, I feel like its home yes, no doubt. North is always home to me wherever I am in the world.

This place isnt so desolate either, there is plenty of jobs and the coastline is really something else then the tundra. Its covered with deep forests and high mountains and there are little scenic fishing villages all along the coast. Its incredibly scenic, ill put up some more pics of the inner coastline for you later.



Some folks also just prefer not being around so many people. Same reason folks move out to the desert, a whole different pacing to things, and very grounding, too. If so, I can sympathize...

hehe We northerners hear all the time that we are a bit different then most people. There are so many funny things said about us, most of them are best not repeated hahaha. I dont have anything against people, im not used to large masses of people like in the huge metropolis cities. I get a bit stressed out after a while and want to find a park in big cities. But its not that I mind people, one quite craves human contact in a place like this. Especially during the winter. People are known to be social and open around here is the general consensus ive heard, and the women to be frigid as hell hehehe.

Work is good, but its even more important to get a sense of achievement with the job. The feeling of learning something while you work and being a part of something. I think thats what gives the best perspectives :yes:
Life is good up here overall, its very good, jobs pay well. People have money and food and its really a great place to be and to have a family, its very safe and everyone takes care of each other.. All things considered, the future is uncertain for the arctic but we have a have a way of looking positively at things even when they look the darkest or maybe even especially then.

All the best wishes to you guys aswell, hang tight, ill put up some more budporn pictures for you in a second. -Peace!
