I concur. Turbo-posting a bunch of sad-ass vegger's is not the way to anyone's heart here. Maybe start a grower's journal til you get things sussed out.

Few days away from taking down this Tom Hill 'DC x Haze' gal.
She's @ 74 days.

On the local front, here's Chaco's 'Sour Larry x Nev. Haze' @ 60 days.

Looking real good HL! :good:

I am also lucky and that I got into the community when I did, I had everything handed to me by genuinely nice people not trying to get something out of me. Its funny to think ALL of the elites I have had been handed to me by others, I haven't had to work hard at all to find elites....shit I wish it was still 08, sharing is caring right?:).

haha, ya ill count myself under the lucky column as well. i just put in the time on this site and things found their way to me, no hassle. going around asking ppl for shite is a quick way to stay outside the circle. i was just lucky enough to find you good local dudes, we're all on the same page.

i like to think of myself as a genetic archive.. im the end of the line, literally. whatever y'all float out our way ends up in my vault. not to be handed out, unless those that gave them to me want them back :tiphat:
 
Otto & cdm, I think both of you got the wrong impression of me, your assumption of my character; based off my desire to be able to send PM's; is off base. I can see how you would think my motives were different though, it's a reasonable assumption. No hard feelings.

hl: Hopefully I'm still welcome to post in the manner I always have, otherwise I'll kindly remove myself from the 'mass elite nugshot & extracts' thread.


Rooms doing much better, it's amazing what a 'lil aact will do.

Just pulled everything out, cleaned & organized, hit them hard with some fish emulsion, set-up the co2, dropped the light down, and raised the temps a touch. The tray I had root last week just got transplanted and the roots are loving a 'lil BX & castings, time to make more floor space and get some homer buckets ready.......

ProMixNSunshine, I applaud your enthusiasm, but it's the enthusiasm of a novice flush w/ the thrill of growing.
Many of us have separate "grow" threads and this thread works well as a showplace to show off "the fruits of our labor" locally.
As it is, you're coming off as a trying-too-hard Wanna-be, which I'm sure is not your intention. Maybe tone it down a bit, eh?

SoulMachete, lovely GDP! The Deep Chunk is def adding the color on mine. Mostly grown organically too, lol! :D

I'm loving it, finally somewhere with Natural gas! Fuck Propane, fuck oil.

Sorry to hear about the troubles though, what kind of timer was it? I have been having a string of bad luck with the newer style ??40's?? 240v water timers?? but can't find anything better.

winter is better IMO. Its easier to deal with cold temps and low humidity than it is to deal with high temps and high humidity.

Its tough for me to dial in the heater so its a good, stable temp lights on and off.

My biggest problem is keeping the root zone warm with fabric pots. Even with heaters/fans, they still feel wet and cold. I went back to square pots but still have 2 finishing in fabric.

The heaters draw a lot too. Bill was $100 higher after a week of frigid weather.

Thinking about running a tropical sativa over the summer.

And that does suck about the timer. Automation is nice but I like the piece of mind I get with daily maintenance.
 
What kind of timer> This is the new style one that I am done with, two in a row crapped out......

If you're on a regular wall plug in intermatic like below (or the digital type) I must warn you that they are dangerous, the current limit for ballasted devices is pretty low & you really shouldn't have anything > 400w plugged into one, everybody does it though.

BTW, those nanners have some chem in them:biggrin:
 
Hl .... killer bro! That dcHaze (newest super hero movie?) Looks lovely! Looks like NE in early October :)
And chacos X looks good too ... I concure ...... what kinda aromas you getting?


Machete.... delicioso ...... rock hard purple nugs ..... sounds like GDP to me! Looks real nice.

Otto .... I feel ya ..... I met a couple good straight shooter dudes back in 09 and that was all I needed ..... just barely made last call before the scene started to lock down.

Winter summer ..... its all the same shit .... grass always looks greener till your standing in the dirt! Winter the heaters are running hard to keep up and in the summer ya gotta shut down lights and run the AC hard to keep up w the heat waves.


Oil dabs of Corey ..... the truth ..... crack..... First oil dab ...... hit me like a train and drained my face lol ..... its like when you become allergic to your favorite food ..... you know its gonna fuck you up ..... but it tastes so damn good ya don't give a fuck. Tasty tasty tasty!

BIG PROPS! I'm on the wave w ya guys now

Thanks fellas! :)

The Larry/Nev is a weird one. Smells a lot like my Destroyer, what I call a lemongrass scent, but there's an equal part of that metalshop haze smell.
The DC x Haze has that metalshop scent too, but the DC adds a real earthiness. Neither are sweet @ all.

By far the best smelling plant in my haze hybrid grow is one of Otto's #1 x PK.
I have two of these going, the one that's finishing up has a sour earthiness to her, nothing sweet, but the other one is just a great melange of tropical fruit, utterly intoxicating! I still have her scent on my sweatshirt from moving her around for the photo an hr. ago. Total Sweet Loudness. :D

61 days in, still going strong. Her & Chaco's are still getting fed molasses, Hydrozyme, & Sea Green.

I much prefer winter to summer for growing. I often shut down in summer, just not worth it unless your preserving genetics. Sure, I use heaters in my grow, but I heat my home w/ wood and it's a great satisfaction to be self-reliant in that regard. I used to pay thousands a yr. for heat and have the thermostat set low, all bundled up & miserable.
Now it's throw another log on and be toasty. Nothing better than coming in from these type of temps and stoking up the fire!

:tiphat:

No winter does suck for me , its too damn cold this year ,... I use big boy A/C unit for 20 lights summer heat is no problem my room stays @75 even on the hottest days My utility bills are over 3500$ a month ... I like fall and spring best for growing but hay thats just me ...

The timer braking isn't that big of a problem plants will be fine just a little delayed they bounce back in a few days and start flowering again , I had this happen before and it was on of my biggest harvests

Got a nice pile ECSD haven't ran her in a while got a few more super monster sours going right now ..

I'd like to dive in that pile Scrooge McDuck style.... veddy nice Baph!!

Wouldn't we all prefer spring/fall all year ..... won't get that here but we can move to it. That's my plan.

Hl.... funny how everything stays so similar ..... wonder if those smells will keep or if they will drift apart during curing. My girl loves those fruity strains....orange kush and MOB FTW!

The LA around 23-24 days into flowering, I am so looking forward to having variety again. Smoking haze 24x7 fucks with my head.
