Thx for the support...

Looking beautifulll bro as usual.
Thx my friend! I'm just doing my best as a rookie and follow in the steps of the big dawgs... :big_boss:


Wow bro.. look how beautiful that Casey Jones and EVERYTHING turned out!! :) Awesome work
Whaddup HannaMan! Thx for the very kind words... The CJ turned out decent, but no where near as fat as my buddies HT and gtd has worked her... :passingjoint:


Man that's some beautiful eye candy brotha!
Happy harvest! :harvest:
Awesome work bro!
Thx my man! I've been striving for the kind buds of the best quality and potency, but now I'm going to be focused on improving my yield as it has been notoriously low when running 10 or more strains on a 3x3 under 600W... :itwasntme


happy harvest shady! u killed it once again!
Thx winta! You're doing pretty damn good yourself and I'm looking forward to all the winta harvest shots... :rock


I forgot to mention, I need a bib..
No worries brah... I'll you give you the one I used when I was drooling over your 10kW Bloom Room... :tongueout

Right on my good friend! Thx for the good karma as well as the kind words... I'm looking forward to more thoughtful discussions and learning from you... :nod


All I can say is, Simply Beautiful.
Many thanks Socachi! It will be nice to see what you have going on in your garden... :wait

Until then, I think its best to finally close this perpetual journal of mine. From this point, I'll post up cured nug shots in my Under Current journal and be focused on my TopDawg Seeds test grow of the Guava 13 beans....

Many thanks to all the true friends and farmers that have been along this crazy ride with me. I truly appreciate all that I've learned and will continue to learn from you... Much respect...
:cool

Fuck me for not swinging by earlier.

Everything looks great brother. I think you did a great job shady, all the buds look great, especially the CJ. I have seen a handful of people grow out this CJ cut and your CJ is the only one that I like as much as mine, hell I like how your looks even more.

TBH, the order of your approach worked out great in my opinion. Learning to grow top quality should come before anything else. I am quite certain you have the quality part taken care of, so now would be a good time to attack the subject of yield.

You sounded a bit disappointed from your posts about this round. From looking at the pics I disagree with you, I think you did a way above average job.

BTW, I made some GR bubble and BHO recently and it was absolutely amazing.

Yo shady those nugs are looking better then ever! I remember before they were still looking great obviously, but for some reason you got a really nice fade/flush going on this time. It seems to really be bringing those colors out on the mk x bk and the others.

Would you attribute this quality fade to non Ph'd R/O water, or maybe the length of flushing, or the amount of water used to flush?

Thx bud! The UC is doing well so far... There's a bit of a learning curve as well when using new nutrients and a new system, but I plan on rocking the UC for a long time... :rock


Simply dank shady, you rocked them girls out bro! :rock
Thx brah! Gotta keep quality as my top priority... :cool


I'm digging the veg station!
Right on my friend! It's ghetto compared to the setups you've built, but it does me well... :happy


Master X Bubba FTW!!! Nice run Shady Bro!
Thx GoD! Time for you to write me a smoke report or two... :time

Thx and no worries HT... I think a lot of the disappointment is due to my desire to perfect my skillz, but the types and amounts of strains that I run seem to affect yield as opposed to a monocrop... :thinking


nice shit shady as always
Thx bud! Nice to see you around the Farm... Hope all is well in your garden... :nod

Thx justiceman! I think the fade is just due to the fact that the medium in Round 9 is mostly Soil and Coco... It seems easier to get a nice faded flush there than in pure coco or hydro for me... I think I'll be able to do it in hydro once I become better at my nutrient mixes though...

Well, thanks again for the support... I didn't want to leave anyone hanging as this perpetual journal ended recently... So here's a link to my UC thread and probably my new perpetual journal for the time being:


:time Shady Intermission… Round 8 Cured Nug Shots

Since I haven’t blazed for 3 months now while trying to find work, I thought a quick intermission was in order to remind me what it was like… Hopefully I’ll get to sample Round 8 in the very near future, but until then here’s an old shot of me ripping my custom Wicked Sands tube (honeycomb design, stemless res with a disc diffy and 9 arm tree) for the first time…

Here’s the custom Royal slide that inspired the honeycomb design…

Sup Dnutz! Thx for the very kind words... Sorry to hear about your PHX though... I've broken quite a few glass pieces in my college days... Had a 4' Graffix that went down to 3', and then down to 18"... :doh

Thx Rival! I'm trying to lure my buddies over to my UC thread with the eye candy... :weed-sign:

Shady Intermission… Master x Bubba comparison from Round’s 8 and 9

Just thought I’d show some eye candy for my friends and the lurkers… All of the following nug shots are Master Kush x Bubba Kush. Round 8’s medium was B’cuzz coco and chunky perlite with GH 3 part nutrients and the HammerHead plus MOAB combo. Round 9’s medium was FFHF, B’cuzz coco, chunky perlite, and FFLW with PBP nutrients and HammerHead. Both rounds also had the typical supplements such as CalMag, Roots Excelurator, Great White, Bud Candy, Flora Blend, and Mad Farmer’s NUTS. Additionally, Round 8 was manicured and then hung to dry before the cure. Round 9 was dried in the pots and then manicured before curing. Enough talk… Here’s the goods…

Shady, what do you use for the background on your bud shots? You got that shit looking like a green emerald sitting on Darth Vader's forehead... :P

Props...

Thx for the very kind words CW! You've got some great photo skillz yourself... For my nug shots I set them on top of my laptop and then prop a black object in the background to absorb the flash and create the effect that the background fades to black... Different camera angles and focal lengths will get the reflection off of the laptop and create diff shades from blue to black... :cool
