Bro, unfortunately I don't get notifications for this thread anymore. You've been busy. Topped? Lookin good, nice and open...I tried to read a few pages back.

You were concerned about water. Brother I know folks that grow with straight tap, water is considered "hard" myself included, and we manage just fine. We grow fine gals and guys. We simply keep ph in check.

I do have and run a r/o system. But typically don't use it because I don't have storage to store let's say 100 gallons at a time. I have yet to see a difference in quality between a grow IVE GROWN of r/o vs tap of specific strain. Obviously in a perfect world you'd use distilled or similar water with as less impurities as possible so you know the plant is getting almost completely whatever you feed it, and no trace minerals.

So I guess what I'm saying is don't worry about getting everything perfect bro, access what you have to work with and make the most of it like you have. And bro, here's a buddy growin 2 different plants out of cups..."you can tell shes vegged awhile by the bushier lower growth"

a plant with healthy roots will still thrive..no matter if it's a small cup/pot or a 7gal pot. Genetics plays such a huge part bro. Glad things are well for you.View attachment 693768 View attachment 693769

so i told my help, hey look.. i have two options.. i need help growing, or i go back to pills.. not much more i can do. and im not telling any false hoods.. if i cant do this it will be what i have to do since i need something.. anyhow.

first ting dis morning i had held.. of chorus i was told not to cut the legs off my table because id ruin it.. im like fuck, i can dowel the son of bitches, some wood glue be stronger than it is now. hha. but i got out voted but whatever, got my timer setup hopefully and my fan installed, #2 transplanted since she is a slut.

and all feed and micro.. now the babys were looking so hungry i up there dosage to 2 table spoons to 4 gallons.. micros etc.
the two seedlings out of three were given JR *1 table spoon to 4 gallons* one of the seedling is already huge.. crazy. heh.

anyhow i think ill be fine.. they want food bad. hha so ill give it to them.. ill back off if I need to next feeding.. they all get water next.

also i like larger pots.. you do not need to water ever 2 days. hha

I dont seem to get notifications for your thread either!!! I think its Dr McSkunky is up to some hacking... He really really wants grower of the month, and he has hacked the mainframe, and turned off notifications on all his rivals....
Lmao... Wait till he reads this.. He will flip burgers.... lol

So hello all! Jipp i gave you a little hell about a month ago, it was love from me, but i know it dont always come across that way. But your a big boy, you asked and i responded..

jipp i got an idea for you. U might have to think outside the box on this but its worth some thought. My mom has on her table, a round wooden thing that spins so you can spin the bread and butter, etc to the other side of the table. would deff help you spin the plants around so it was easier to attend. Also since you cant bring the table down, i recommend, build a lil wooden ramp 8 inches high, to wheel chair your old ass up high enough to get what you need..
I know you cant get much done but you got to have better chances than if you were stranded on the moon.. If nothing else it will get you thinking on how to get er done at least :)
How long till u are gonna be able to put some weight on your hip?

so i fucked up yet again. hah. i did not pay attention to solo cup for a hour and she grew into the light.. i had to raise the LED.. the other plants were ok no burns.. but i had wind and all plants doing a jig.. so this LED has to be about 12" -13" away from plants regardless if its not hot to the hand at least if its under it seems. ill just keep the solo cup off to the side of the light so no more issues. since its tallest thing in my tent. hah.

hard to adjust on crutches hha.. at least i can pull on the rope and it goes up.. bring it down is a bitch. :D

i feel bad man. im gonna kill these plants yet..

also ordered some neems oil. hah. damn they have to much shit to grow.. you could go broke at all the shit they want to sell to grow dope. hah. and it seems most is not needed.


also should i remove the yellow leaf on the solo cup at the base of the cup? since i do not think kt will come back so its probably robbing more sugars than its producing.

Checking in on you from Vegas. See I knew it they are still alive . I'm blessed but hurting. Slept 2 hrs last night drove 1 1/2 hrs to airport then 10 hours to land here. Another couple hours to get to the hotel and get all checked in, then we ate for the 1st time and walked 5 miles so we could watch the fountains at the Balagio. Hip and back are throbbing knee and ankle screaming and my hands are swollen to the point of not being able to make a with either hand. Maybe it's from mixing all them nutes and soil with no gloves. I always say next time I will wear gloves but never do. Be funny watching my funeral as a ghost with people saying yeah he poisoned himself but man his plants look good LOL. Take care brother

Brother you find a way of doing it and I don't mind buying you a bottle of bloom nutes it would be a travesty to let those plants that help you so much not get help they need too

Hey @jipp .

I'll keep saying it but your training is looking good!

I'm sure you are noticing that it really helps you manage your gals heights for longer periods of time.

The initial manifolding you are doing keeps them very flat for a long time.

This training May possibly turn out well incorporated into your system.
It looks as if this may help you a lot by keeping things more manageable.


I see you lost a branch or 2 lol.
I've done that too. It helps us learn the limits. It will happen again don't fret. You wil have many extra branches you can afford to lose 1 here and there.

Are you noticing how your training is thickening up those stems and trunks?

jipp said:

morning. just got done tightening up the bonds.. you have to do this every day for good training.

and they growing like mad.. they want food so i gave it to them.. one of the babys is also the same size as the older plants in branching out..

also got some colored pipe cleaners im legit now. hah
yeah i think this training will work for me and my life style at the moment.. laughs.

it gives me something to focus on every day.. like bonzi in a way.


yeah broke a branch got a little carried away. laughs.
but im learning.

all these plants are def grown by a noob you can tell by looking. heh.

hopefully the clones will look all neat.. but on the other hand this is alive, so we work with what we get. laughs.

hope you had a great night and you slept like a baby with the edibles.
