Found the cars...
I checked it out my snowblower actually had a 12" scoop not 10" and it was a couple inches over that so yeah it was 14" since about 10 p.m. last night to 6 a.m. this morning and I got about another three or four" of powder out there now that I'm going to go push around with a shovel when I get drunk enough LOL just kidding I don't drink but maybe I should start? couple more blizzards like this & I'll consider itSo the Wuhan wasn't enough, we get to have a nasty snow storm to help close this crappy year...this is a bit more than the 8" to 12"...ugh

All shoveled & plowed now :)
Hey sporty where are you at. Because we got dumped on too!!! I am in northwest R.I . Don't have pics right now but I just came in from snow blowing, But my little ladys in the grow room are loving life. Just started giving them silica yesterday and they are standing at attention this morning, My camera's battery's died yesterday I will have pics later. I have some Blue berry sherbet auto's hope they keep going as good as they are now.

Yeah thank God it's powder, this would have been about a snowball too much if this was the heavyweight stuff!!!Either way Beach, it's more snow than needed or wanted. Send that stuff to the mountains to keep the skiers etc happy. I don't drink anymore since my body basically said quit or die a cpl years back. Apparently a 1.75 liter of Vodka every 2 1/2 to 3 days is not so good for you. Gave up the cigs too. Just the Devil's Lettuce and it's counterparts now :)
At least I don't have to worry about the heart as much since I'm not inhaling 40 cigs a day. My back will prob let me know how it felt about the shoveling later lol...Ice pack ready :)
Thank goodness it's not wet snow...I think I would just wait til warm weather then lol.

Definitely going to be a white Christmas though, if nothing else there's that
So….been hanging out round here for a good while now, figure I’ll give a journal a go. Here we go…...
A year ago last August I said to myself “self, you need to just grow your own” lol. I wanted plants like my buddy back home grows.

I have used the Herb since my teen years on and off (born the year the Beatles came to America), never grew anything or wanted to. Just a $20 here, a $50 there etc, until I had time on my hands & my bright idea of growing a “plant” took over my brain.
So the research started (it never ends I now know), I was looking up info, joined some forums and started reading the basics to get started. Get this...I was gonna do all this with as few dollars as possible. It started that way with a $13.00 box from Uhaul, a couple lil fans $10 and some utility lights $20 from the hardware store + some dollar tree leds. Don’t forget the Miracle Grow lol. I’m broke but we’re gonna grow some smoke.

In the beginning it was good with some hand me down seeds from my buddy & Miracle Grow of course but they were not viable seeds and ended up with a Herm in the first try. I told my buddy about it, he said “oh crap, I gave you the wrong seeds. (Why he was keeping them idk) Ok then, no worries but now I need something to grow and some decent seeds.
Bought a Gelato Auto which was my first foray into buying seeds online about a year ago now. Get this, I had no idea seeds were bought and sold as they are nowadays. First real grow was going well but then flowering came and there was plant trouble plus I got a better light and promptly burnt the damn thing. Babied her all the way to the end and got 2 ounces.

I have grown a bunch of different strains over the last year, latest was Super Critical CBD, Bubba Kush & Acapulco Gold witch yielded 12 ounces + trim this fall.. Fought hard all summer in the humidity & heat and was able to get some decent smoke. Plants got too big for me tho.

For now I am growing several plants at a time, my reasoning is because I want more than one or two strains on hand for whatever I’m feeling like smoking on any given day. Just not into having one huge plant and having to smoke that for months, I want variety so I’m running a bunch in 1gal pots for right now.

I'm not sure what these white dots are?The Ladies have arrived
Been watching these two close last few days, honestly a few days ago I was sure I had a couple males. Sent these two to flower on the 16th so 10 days and showing works for me. Usually 14 to 16 days.

Since starting these seeds, both were Regulars....this is now the second time I've gotten lucky with 2 reg seeds and getting 2 fems. So to make sure I always have a viable plant the last pair I have started a Reg & a Fem. I'll do that for now. Its kind of gotta be that way until I have some more space. If it turns out to be a Fem great but if not and I can find some space (warmer months outside) I'll keep it long enough to get some pollen.
I'm not sure what these white dots are?

It's probably nothing maybe it's a trick of light from the camera? Wanted to mention it just in case
Are you using a humidifier close to the plants or are you dusting or spraying anything
not the biggest fan of the neem oil ... I used it religiously once a week for about six months and the veg plants loved it, I could honestly see a difference might have just been the leaf shine but they really looked like they responded, but if I'm honest I just can't stand the smell of the stuffThey have had no shortage of Neem but that's been a few weeks now as the Gnats are gone (I hope)...not seen a flyer in about 3 weeks. Humidifier in use in room not in tent.
I got the endoscope out to have a look. Man that thing is a pain lol.
I'll attribute it to the neem for now. We'll keep a close eye next cpl days, thanks for looking. Forgot to take a snap of leaf underside but it's clean.

Thanks for stoppin by @Fudge . All that DIY / cheap is was what I had in mind but soon found out most everything was inefficient/underrated. The constant adjustment/fixin kinda got old. Alot of upgrades have been made but plenty of DIY still lingers lol.True stoner engineering, Love the box grow mate totally awesome work, Ill catch up on rest of thread later when i have more time
