I've been trying to get some decent looking pics of my Outs. But they're so big I can't get far enough back to take a whole plant picture. Lol

Cali's throwing out some perfect July 7th Birthday weather. Overcast, slightly breezy. I'll take it. They're forcasting 103, but right now its only 77. I might be taking a ride down to the river.

Next year, if I do another back yard grow in this greenhouse. Its going to be 1 plant in a 400, 600, or 800. The 2 are just to crowded in the 120sqft space.

Ok so here's a little review of what I'm dealing with my Indo.

First off I've got to go pick up some new calibrating fluid for my ph meter. Its been screwed up for about a week now.

Luckily I know exactly how many ml. it takes to drop the ph where I need it.

Nextly. The spider mites on my day 50 plants are still doing there thing, but very slowly. I've been doing my best to remove every fan leaf possible that shows mite population on it. And no webbing on any buds yet... 20 more days to go... A lot could happen.

I'm so pissed I've got mites. Its what I get for fucking with outdoors the same time as indoors. Hopefully I get them cleared out soon.

Now. Onto my day 15 table. Cherry Pie. They are looking good, but are kicking my ass at the moment. The Queen Bee cut I got at Harborside hella spits balls. I have a test plant on my day 50 table that dropped balls, but I thought it was because of a light leak, I repaired that and cut all the nads off before they matured and the plant stopped producing balls. So I thought it was forsure because of the light leak.

Now this full table did the same thing spat balls, every plant. So everyday since I noticed, I've been inspecting every branch on every plant, using my scalpel to pick them off before the mature.

So much extra work...

I did hear that Cherry Pie nads are suppost to be sterile. But either way I'm still going to continue to search and destroy all I can in hopes they stop like the test plant did.

This cut of Cherry Pie has no more time in garden.

Forsure Gry. My dogs are awesome. Thanks for the positive vibes to get through this summer. They're long ones where I live.

Looks truly amazing.. I respect the fact that you do it right.. The indoor GSC look superb.. some of the frostiest GSC i've seen. I respect the fact that you find a few mites, and instead of hitting the panic and bombing the room with pyrethrium or Spraying a nasty pesticide on a flowering crop, you take the time to wipe down each leaf with neem, and do the best you can, realizing that you might need to scrap it and start over.. very respectable.. Too often the use of chemicals and the effects it has on those that need their meds is overlooked and I believe it can cause people serious health risks down the road.. Props for doing it right.


Green house looks amazing. keep doing what ya doing

Thanks brother. I pride myself on being health conscious and living a clean healthy lifestyle. Its my ultimate plan to live forever. Too many people put value over quality. Its the biggest flaw in the industry. My biggest fear when smoking other people's bud is wondering what the hell that person was willing to do to crop out. Some people "need" the money so bad they don't give a shit if they harm the public.

When people smoke my bud I want everyone to know its clean and safe. You can really tell in the hit. Its always smooth and flavorful.

I'm hoping to upgrade to an RO unit pretty soon so the quality should only get better.

This GSC is really nice. I just wish the yield was there, but its just not. For me and what I'm trying to do, it just one of those plants you throw in as an extra for a little personal stash.

Although outdoor could be a different story! Those babys are vigorous and huge. Currently at 8' tall and growing. There's going to be some fire GH, GSC coming up for sure.

Thanks for following and the support.

So true. There's always that thumb of life pressing back. *Thats why I throw up the 1 love and keep pressing forward.
I'll work through this these are minor set backs. My Veg. room still looks great! No signs of bugs, deficiencies, or stress...

I'm just being more cautious with how much I touch things and washing my hands even more often than before. If I touch one plant for any reason I go wash my hands before I touch ANYTHING else.

Thanks mack 10

So other than my minor gardening dilemmas, the biggest dilemma going on in my life, is me and Mrs. Sleeper are in the process of separating. I haven't talked about it, but after 6 years we've grown to know we don't work well together. We're too different of people to make it work as a couple anymore, shit we're not even friends. The only thing we're good at doing together is loving and parenting our 2 children. As a matter of fact the seperation is ultimately for our kids, so they don't have to see us argue and fight anymore. A lot of our frustration towards each other gets pushed on the kids and its not fair to them to grow up in a verbally hostal environment.

We are keeping the seperation casual and civil. She's looking for job so she can get her own apt., and leave me the (rental) were in now.

Hopefully I can get back into my IC flow soon. Shit is bat shit crazy in my world right now. Although the gardeners been cut down, his garden hasn't skipped a beat.

Just took my last GSC run. Ran 600w from start to finish, pulled 300g. So I saved some money this month. I also took down a blue dream that have me 70g,
And a cherry pie that gave me 48gs.

Next round coming through is Cherry Pie.

I'll be back with pictures one day.
