I am so glad you posted this Ron. I’m not alone. Thanks. I’m at a loss for words bro. I appreciate the empathy. I’m also very sorry for your loss. I’m sure if your mom had that tract on her bedside table, God was taking every opportunity to reach her heart. I choose to believe that it was not by chance or fluke or luck that it was there for both your mom and you. Really grateful to meet a brother in the Lord.Hey Fabz, What's good my green thumbed brother! Just a note to check in and send some love that way! I really enjoyed the read so far and your struggles with your fathers death touched me deeply. I never had a father but I lost my mother to drug and alcohol addiction in 2012. She was basically all the family I had and losing her took a great toll on my mental wellbeing.
Like you I stayed in the video games and so stoned I couldn't really function for a couple years. I even went so far as to stop growing for a few years. I lost all my ambition.
Then I started thinking about a little book I found on my mothers night stand after her death..it was called, "Jesus Calling". Now my mother as I know was far from a Christian and had an..."alternative lifestyle". But this book on her night stand gave me great hope that in the end she accepted Jesus as her Lord and one day we will meet again in our Fathers house.
IDK why I felt led to share this in your journal.. I hope its not to much. But I can truly relate to the deep depression felt from losing a parent. I can also say that growing and partaking in this healing plant has helped in a thousand ways.
Also thank you so much for the help with the Thc Bombs its good to have some technical support...lol I'm here for the ride, let do this! -Ron
Dude you certainly have a way with words!Entry #3~ What could go wrong?
From auto topping Bombs to massive dual fanged fan leaves. Hermaphroditic bananas to resin drenched trichome production. Genetic predispositions are sure to rear their wild card bag of tricks while trying to find my flow and mitigate stress on the ladies.
We’d all love to have a perfect garden. One with no pests, no viruses, no pathogens, dust, dirt, or debris. A perfect garden where the plants take care of themselves does sound nice, but wouldn’t that take the excitement and challenge out of it?
Today I’d like to document “ballerina”. The auto topping THC bomb plant pheno that had my eye from the day she sprouted. She was dense, lime green, smelled of fruity lemony gasoline and screamed “healthy”. But the best part was she auto topped early in veg. I wasn’t sure what had happened to her at first. But after researching, I found some would consider her special.
I have attached a video to document her.
Also, as I was going through some of my old notes last night, I came across “Big Mikes Recipe for success” parameters I had written down many many years ago. I have attached a photo of it for your reference. Not much has changed in this department.
Im learning that each day brings new challenges as the girls progress through their respective photoperiod. One can only assume that this is how one would get better at cultivation.
Peace to you my brothers and sisters. Have a beautiful day and be blessed.
Thanks for tuning in.
fabz.
Very, very well said brother. This is truth. Thanks for sharing this. I took a lot away from your post. May your garden grow fat and frosty as well bro.Dude you certainly have a way with words!
Made me think, I'm on grow number...755..? Who knows, I grow perpetually and have been off and on since 1989. Hundreds if not thousands of plants. .I don't think I've ever had what I would consider a perfect run...lol Always something it seems.
Don't get me wrong over the years I've had some strains and phenos dialed in pretty good...but perfection.. nah. Have yet to achieve it. Growing is a microcosm of life as a whole. Its all about how you handle the struggles and storms. I keep my eyes on Jesus!
When life throws you curve balls can you pivot and hit home runs? The same with growing brother, anything the plant throws at me I'm ready. I've learned a few things over the years about cleanliness and such in the garden that has helped with pest and disease, but mostly each new strain and each new pheno is a new adventure! Pretty cool.
We wouldn't be so proud of our plants if it didn't take great skill, hard work and dedication to cultivate them. Anybody can grow weed. It takes great knowledge and knowhow to grow quality cannabis.
Thanx for the post brother, I am following along intently! May your garden grow fat n frosty! -Ron
Thank you bro. Those plants look very happy. Like Kyle Kushman said “show those plants what good feels like”.Looks fantastic. Im on week 1 of veg. Just started up this batch myself.
Thanks dude. Much appreciated. When I got a hot minute, I wanna snoop around all the mods profiles. Lol.Such a clean setup
Thank you my brother. Already, this community has made me feel very welcome and accepted. Definitely much needed through this lockdown.Looking real nice bro! I can see the frost setting in. I love your set up, looks high tech! Shame that sunset sherbet hermied, still looks like some fire! At least it wasn't a total loss. Thank you for sharing! Your garden inspires me. -Ron
Right. I almost bought one on sale for the 3x3 a month back too. Kicking myself now.Gotta love the Gorillas bud. If you’re running a 6” exhaust, you may want to look into the high cfm supports for the walls. Probably going to suck the sides in. I use an 8” fan in a 4x8 Gorilla and it pulls the seams tight.
wouldn’t buy anything else, gorilla is built to last!Thank you my brother. Already, this community has made me feel very welcome and accepted. Definitely much needed through this lockdown.
So! It would seem that mitigating the cold 59*F nights to 69*F has exponentially accelerated my garden.
I just received my new 3x3 gorilla shorty tent (3x3x5’8”) for hanging/drying to contain odour. I will have a 6x24 vortex Lite carbon filter scrubbing the tent. It’ll be a challenge, but I’ll find a way to dry these ladies “low and slow”.
Picture 1- Gorilla tent sliding into place like a well fit glove, providing a much needed solution for the limited space and overwhelming needs of this small, craft cannabis garden.
Picture 2- The gorilla 3x3x5’8” shorty tent. Wow! Now I see why these tents are so bloody expensive. I can already guarantee I’ll have this tent for the rest of my life and it will be passed down to my son when he builds his garden. What a superior product.
