yeah. i was told it be six months.. but that is a lie hah.

I havent mentioned it on here in awhile but its no secret im a recovering addict. 5yrs clean from opiates and i can yell ya.....i done enough to kill an elephant. ....heres the thing ....i see how u are.....u wear ur soul on ur sleeve around here....i like that about u but ya gotta get out of ur own head.....the physical part of the addiction is long gone....that is of course unless all u did was swap out the oxys for suboxone of methadone.....when i kicked i went from 100mg of methadone a day to nothin....cold turkey and i didnt start feeling right until i kinda just manned up and ignored the discomfort and got my mind and body active....ur just kinda feeding into it

i do not see my self as a addict tho ( not now anyhow, on the pills yeah ). im not sure why we are forced to think this way, its bullshit for my self.
i did not abuse my pills, etc. and they took my smile, body, and lots of brain shit hah.
so yeah i am healing. im over the mental addiction.. the body shit im healing from. go me.
anyhow, ill figure it out.

yes, on the pills. i was a addict. now that im off them. i still have to say that im a addict?

I can't believe my ol bud Scot Hall got himself turned around, he's going back into WWE wrestling at the age of 58.How's that for getting active?
He was in our "Gang of 6" in the day.(hey Scot, If your out there, let's hit the" mountain with no end" another time.):cool:
He's had a tough time with pain, and drinking...goes with bashing people's heads for a profession.

I gave up cigarettes 20+ years ago, and accidentally tried some junk laced hash 35+ years ago, and still want both to this day. It's tough, some people are wired differently.

Your insurance will pay for a detox program,they deal with all aspects of it mental & physical.I was taking 6 K4s a day equal to about 15 oxys. I'm over it physically & mentally.

chris dont think your getting it,what he is saying is fact not fiction,you want to help others with same problem,what he is saying is the help you desire to pass on just as he is with you

Hey, look what adding 200 watts to my grow did! I got actual pot...with flowering! I don't know what I'm doing right, but I know what I've done wrong, at least.
Worst thing is, 2 months to flower & 2 months to cure, I'll have the same smoke I've had for 2 years.
And I'm out and gotta get more of it, ugh.

Plotting my November run now!

sounds like a plan

Winter run should end in March, then gotta pick a good mildew resistant strain for summer basement grow, and a short run stubby sativa for outdoors.
Any ideas?

i keep looking at my plants thinking they are sick. hah.

paranoia!

jipp · Sep 3, 2017

Man dude I bet you couldn't shit for nothing! Anyways bowls up tomorrow is a new day.later

yeah, my shit got backed up.. that was the last straw for me.

hah.

i could live with fucked up teeth from the oxycotin etc, waking up feeling like death, looking it too. but when it hurt to shit, i had enough.. my only option was weed or death..
so, thats how i ended up here.

bowl up.

early on, in the first few years of taking oxy, the insurance company was really shitty about paying for my oxycotin, oxycodone etc. you never knew what was gonna happen when you went to pick up your poison, err pills. id go pick up my RX and you never knew if there was going to be a problem. if there was one thing i hated the most about going to the pharmacist.. it was the uncertainty if your meds were gonna be filled. its not fun either, way worse than withdrawals because you are not thinking i want off this shit. like iv mention before, each year i had to wait up to 7 days for them too approve me for X amount of time.. which was never the same, random as fuck. when id have to go through this shit.

Been there : ( I still have my gall bladder though.

Just so I don't make a mistake, @jipp are you a female? Or do people in this thread just refer to you as "Girl" lol.

im not sure if its ideal structure for indoor or not. but i like how open it is so light can get inside easy, a must for indoor. less pruning.. so, yeah i think its good? is my logic off?

There are some strains/pheno's that don't respond well to topping. I just tossed a few. Out of those, some of them will work with topping, but it has to be at the right time. And if you are root bound or bordering on it, topping often doesn't work well. Bc of those huge bottom leafs, I can't tell what size pot that is, but you get what I'm saying.

For fun lets assume that plant didn't take to topping. It's not necessarily a fault, the plant might be fantastic, so long as it's grown w/o topping (LST it) You will know in a couple weeks if that middle growth takes off. Basically, you have to wait and see. Sometimes that light growth in the bottom and middle like that doesn't take off, or takes too long. I know this is not a terribly scientific explanation, but it's like the plant doesn't want to be short. To perform, it wants to be tall. If you try to make it short via topping it doesn't cooperate, know what I mean? The only way to run it short (and happy) is to lst the daylights out of it.

All that said, I don't think it's one of those plants and I think it's going to be fine lol. Judging by the stalk width, I might have topped it a bit earlier but that might be the pic. It looks like you may have put a decent amount of time letting that top section grow, only to lop it off. If that's the case, you could have topped it where you did earlier, and it would have put that time/energy into building structure that you were going to keep.

Some people intentionally grow it out tall, to cut it off, thinking they have built a bigger root system now, so the topping will really take off and be effective. It will maximize plant size/yeild etc. I'm not saying you did this, it's just fyi, but that theory doesn't make any sense. The plant is not going to make up the 7-10 days of growth they just took from it with bigger roots. And if they topped it at the correct time, the structure they are now hoping to get speedily would have already been there. The plants like to grow from the top, up. So we take advantage of that when we prune. If we grow it tall, then hack it down, it's almost never efficient.

If it responds to that prune, I agree with you, it has some very nice symmetry and with some very light training, you could space it well and maximize yield easily. The plant is not in my hand, but I would start tying those two new tops down once they gain traction. The sides will start to catch up. Then top those two tops and the sides will probably reach canopy level about the same time.

She's pretty, and very happy as most of your plants appear to be. Nice work!

what plant are we talking about? blue.. yeah that was good info. so much to learn. i was gonna give up on training because it seem like a waste of time.. but i guess it really depends on the plant which will take experience to learn. thank you for helping.
and yeah iv been topping as they grow up to even the canopy figure that is how you do it for caging them.
im whatever sex you want me to be baby! hah

bowl up.

they are in 1g pots. the plant you are talking about was just up potted the other day. the kids need to be up potted, as soon possible.. but im working with limited space, and resources; but i have more than enough time.
