And taking care of animals is not what some of these people are stating. The horses look perfect. the cows are mad healthy. The goat are happy as they could be. There's a little bit of work but not crazy. Every month or 2 someone has to file the Horses teeth and hoofs. That is just a phone call and some money away. They don't wear horse shoes. We keep some sort of net over the horses face because of the flies. Sometimes you have to clean some stuck poop off of the horse or cows back that they rolled in. Brush a horse here and there. Put out some hay. It's really not that big of a deal. Somehow these animals are here and people keep offering me more. That's the problem with todays society, everything gets babied to the point where animals and people can't do anything for themselves. Anyway enough ranting.

Here's an Outdoor Urkle Bush that was planted into the ground. I counted over 50 mains on her and she's about 6 feet tall and she's all organic grown in a chicken coup after taking all of the chicken out of it:

this has nothing to do w/ U'r insist urge to be a different individual, and follow the path less chosen....I come from EVERGREEN university..... one of the world centers of difference and yet indifference.....look it up.....I'm completely in tune w/ U'r desire to be a individual and do U'r own thang......

my previous post referring to rules and regulations.... all stem from public perception which over time becomes public reality and law.....

If U think for a moment there isn't regulations in place regarding animal care and husbandry....look that up also....

and if we objectively step back and look @ the whole picture public perception is what will impact U most whether U like it or not....we share this world and its rules liked or not
they are all part of the social game we call reality......

so in U'r little world of refusal to allow local influence to impact U'r dream.....
shit will happen and catch up w/ U.....

specially if U'r raising wild animals to eat.... on U'r farm.... the locals will have a hayday w/ U in the public eye....

I'm open to having a healthy debate about this anytime without it going down hill. Your reality is different from my reality. There are many groups of people. My group doesn't believe in god or karma or mother nature or any of that. It believes in other things that can maybe be offensive to a guy like yourself so I won't get into the details. The point is, society / the masses that you speak of are all fucked up to people like me and you seem to be talking about your personal social game that is way different from my real reality. Every day I pave my own path on what I believe to be right, not anyone else at all. I live for me and my future generation. When I look at the masses, I see crazy people who also see the same in me for not being like them. Not everything in life is out in the open for you to see and judge and I think you would be surprised how other animals are here in this area. A guy down the street got a shit load of animals and he can barely even walk and his animals look pretty good to me. You see a baby cow and say look how cute he his but I see veal. I don't get attached to things, esp animals. It's how I'm built. My family stems back to another country and it isn't the same as here. Some of my thoughts and values come from that place. You should see the africans in the area and what they do to their goat. You would probably pass out when you see what they do. I won't get into it. There are many cultures in the US so your normal persona is very different from many others. It's better to respect how different people are cause that's one of the great things about this country.

ok....kewl... so all these outlandish remarks about animals, and the way U do things are all based on U'r EUROPEAN heritage.... kewl, tell that to the folks that file charges on U for not following the local law.... what ever law that may be....

U can raise all the standard farm animals U want for meat production....
one side of my family currently has 60+ head of cattle...the other-side has 3 million + rainbow trout due for harvest next month....
BUT when U start talking out U'r ass about raising cougars... and peacocks...
followed by getting more exotic animals and primates to do with as U please with... and raise for food or what ever sort of entertainment U'r seeking....even referencing the option / opinion of allowing a free for all in there living arraignments and U contributing very little to there care and up keep....

All these actions will get U in trouble....ANYWHERE

other than that... keep doing the bang up job w/ the weed,
it suites U better than this other crap....

stick w/ the hydro... avoid the livestock....

I can tell this is pointless. Your views to me are pretty crazy. I'm not from Africa either, I was talking about Africans in the area. I'm from the mountains of a European country. Anyway, I will keep living my dream and you keep living yours. You keep bringing up laws on a site dedicated to growing an illegal drug. You sound like a crazy metal patient. Have a great day!

What! Someone had an illegal animal? You better call the cops cause that's so wrong! Sounds dope though. All this talk about this being illegal or that being illegal is just too funny to me. It's ok to do certain illegal things but not other illegal things. Who's the one who writes what's right and what's wrong so I can reprogram my brain for a certain crowd. I got everything under control over here. The strong will survive and the weak will die out. That's really how things are supposed to work. So far the animals are pretty healthy so we will see how it goes. The winter will be the true test with all the snow. I do recall seeing a bunch of camel at the Artis Zoo in Amsterdam hanging out in the snow in the winter looking pretty happy! I wonder if I can get a camel out here without anyone seeing it.

OK...ok... I'll let U win... my bad for invading U'r dream, with such unrealistic lawful views....of social acceptance... and honoring that commitment to fellow man....and animal by allowing certain standards to be in place for the well being of the entire world...not just U'r world....
BUT for the for the most part... thats where we differ the most.... I'm legal w/ paperwork and such so my growing pot is'nt ILLEGAL in that since.... where as for U it must still be.... big difference
again..... my bad

I'm quite impressed w/ this magnificent bubble of surreality that has consumed U'r brain
long live YOU dream, how ever unconventional and unrealistic it may be in this day and age......long live your dream...i walk mine, not yours....
who am I to judge.... my bad... 'twas never my intention to pass judgment...
just trying to understand... where U'r head is @
have U ever even butchered a animal...?

when U get ready to start... give a shout, and i'll be happy to help

Today I will be backing up the Production MOMS. I will probably take some pictures and write some information on the techniques that I use today.

On top of that, It's getting a little hard to sleep with 3,000 Watts in my personal bedroom. The room is pretty large so I'm going to build a wall today with 2x3's and I'm going to make a section with velcro and painters tarp for a door to get into the grow side of the bedroom. Should be a fun little project!

Damn I was hoping people weren't paying attention and it would just slip by them for a while. I give out a lot of information on this site but the information on how I cured root rot has to be kept a secret for now. IMO this is too big to let anyone know. I'm not being I dick, I'm just protecting my work so I hope that you will understand. Eventually when the time is right, I'm going to let everyone know.

Snype’s Guide To Keeping MOMS For Infinite Years!

Warning, All MOMS that you have will be different than mine so the periods of time can change. Some strains will grow slower than others and there are other factors involved. Take this as a basic technique that I use with all of my MOMS used in Current Production / Near Future Crops.

Keeping healthy MOMS for many years without risk of losing them to Decreased Vigor, Loss of Potency, Smaller Bud Size, Decreased Trichome and Various Genetic Mutations, can be overlooked by many growers who don’t keep their MOMs in full health 365 days a year or the growers who pay more attention to their flowering room more than the VEG room. IMO Mother Rooms are even more important than Flowering rooms because without healthy MOMS, flowering rooms just won’t be the same. To be sure that your MOM stays the same that it was when you first ran her, you will need to keep her at full health 365 days per year to be certain that you don’t lose her to some type of degradation . That is not always an easy task for most growers in general because you would have to be around them to take care of them all of the time.

I’ve seen specific examples of some of my past MOMS going down hill over many years from not keeping them healthy all of the time. The MOM looked fine but her flowering clones from the MOM was never the same after that and lost a lot of the examples above. At those times, my MOMs were hydroponic but now I’m a bigger believer in keeping soil MOMs even if my entire grow is hydroponic. Soil has the biggest buffer against potential problems than any other medium and I believe that you have a higher odds of success keeping MOMS in soil without the risk of some of the problems associated with hydroponics . I can see having some MOMS in soil and then some Back Up Hydroponic MOMs if you need a lot of cuts but I can get around 30 cuttings from a 2 month soil MOM.

Soil MOMs grow slower than hydroponic MOMs so depending on your situation, you may need more cuts than I need. I keep my MOMs for 3 month periods and then the next run of MOMs replaces them. Before those MOMs are replaced, they went from 6 MOMs down to 3 MOMs under a 220 Watt CFL on for 24 hours per day. By the time my FFOF MOM from rooted clone is at 5-6 weeks old, each one can produce at least 20 cuttings but you can also obtain over 30 cuttings from each plant. Each plant is pruned with sterile utensils every 2-3 weeks and reshaped to keep her healthy. 5 days before I need cuts or need to prune, I make sure to feed the plant with my “Charge” method stated here:

https://www.icmag.com/ic/showthread.php?t=268343

Some MOMS in my experience want to be grown with organic nutrients so on those ones I take special measures that don’t include my Charge Method.

After 2 – 2.5 months when the MOM is a pretty good size bush is when I take my new cuttings that will replace the MOMs. It is easier to healthily grow a MOM for 3 months and replace, than to properly prune and take care of a plant for years. Any cutting that is going to replace a MOM, is always the first to root and the most vigorous growing clones. Because of this, I take many more cuttings than I will need to choose only the best ones of the group.

All clones from existing MOMS of the same pheno, are labeled accordingly to represent each as it’s own just in case a genetic mutation occurs I will be able to get rid of that stock and replace her with another one without delaying my flowering rooms. I will usually keep 3 sets of MOMS to label as 1-1, 1-2, 2-1, 2-2, 3-1, 3-2. If any stand out more than the others, I include a star symbol on the Sticky Note for that plant and she gets first priority for taking cuttings for the next crop.

You will want to inspect your MOMS regularly for mites, root problems and also assess her current health so you can keep your MOM healthy and show her the least amount of stress possible. Just like cancer in humans from genetic mutations, various stresses in a plants life can also lead to genetic mutations and potentially cause your MOM to never be the same as it was. Even if you do keep your MOMS in full health all of the time doesn’t mean that you can’t still lose your MOMS features but it puts the odds off success more likely.

Here is a MOM 75 days from rooted clone before I pruned her and she was 31" Tall and 35" Wide:

Here is the same MOM right after I pruned her on the same day and now she is 24" Tall and 28" Wide:

I keep 6 BYTCH MOMS under 330 Watts of T5's for 24 hours per day. My past grow house, I wasted a lot of VEG space on various projects and MOMS that I didn't need but now I'm more focused on straight production with the BYTCH. She really is a special plant when you grow her right and I treat her right all of the time. There's still projects that I want to do and it's a struggle trying to hold myself back from certain seeds that I want to pop. The way that I look at it is there will be a time and a place to pop a lot of seed one day. A few more years of what I'm doing now and it'll be time to take a break and evaluate life. This really is a lot of work running things and I always had this goal of getting out by the time that I turn 40 and just growing organic for me, is what I wanted to do.

In 1991 I started slanging trees. In 1993 I started growing and expanding ever since. This was always part of my dream to work until I was 40 and then start enjoying life. The time is only a few years away. It can't be this easy. Or can it?

There's a lot of other projects with BYTCH that I've been documenting privately that one day I'm going to show you guys. Trying to work on getting 2 pound indoor plants in RDWC.

Let me know when the BYTCH produces 2lb plants.....K? Ill be the first in line to get some beans.
Sounds like a worthy project. Nice!

I'll be the first to let everyone know when I can get 2 pound plants consistently. I'm experimenting in a room with a combination of bare bulb vertical and horizontal reflectors. I'm testing keeping the horizontal reflectors on for 6 hours per day and the vertical bare bulbs come on after that for the other 6 hours. Also experimenting with 1 set of lights coming on for an hour and then those shut off and the other set comes on and repeat the process. Some plants I squeezed branches to break them and form a calus (maybe they call that super copping) and lots of topping.

My friend also gave me these Stardogs and Motorbeaths so it is also possible that I find something that may be able to compete with the BYTCH but it's still too early to tell. The Stardog #6 has the perfect structure and vigor and looks like it is going to form some dense trich'd flowers but it's all about the combination of flavor and potency as well. Nothing I've grown so far has been able to compete with the BYTCH on all levels. I grew out the 4SD's (chem4 x SD IBL) and kept one around for a while but she just wasn't like the BYTCH. I also had an SVG OG x Chemdog pheno and she looked and smelled beautiful,

but the taste and potency just wasn't there. She had huge buds though and produced real nice. I try to keep an open mind to the idea of finding something as special as the BYTCH but it hasn't happened yet for the production side at least. I'm sure I can find some very special plants in some of my seed but I don't pop them because the yield, structure and time of flowering won't be good for business and will just take up more space and lights which gets expensive and more time consuming. The fact that I've been running her for almost 4 years now and people still ask for it over anything that I do, says a lot to me. Her oil is also really medicinal and has healed some skin disorders that I had when I applied topical treatments.

The BYTCH sounds like a special plant. Over the years Ive chucked plants ,that after trying multiple others, regretted getting rid of. Im always searching for that "1".
That 1 Ill never get rid of. Havent found it yet. Came close. But still no go.
I hope the Strawberry Dogshit is special. Got one pheno that is like strawberry syrup concentrate from McD's shakes. Really STRONG strawberry/chem smells.
Your blessed to have that BYTCH on lock. Im glad you found the 1 you love the most.
Thats awesome.
