TGR’s High Elevation Grow Journey

TheGoldenRoad · May 31, 2025

Queen B is up to bat and some environmental changes had to be made. Queen B is the replacement for one of the PB4H’s that was dismantled by earwigs in one night.

The other two are kicking ass. I had to move them away from their original spot. @Thatoneguyyouknow_ hit the nail on the head with problems from the Death Star. The fans and anything close to the structure were being physically cooked.

He does have a great mind when it comes to growing. That dude is definitely an asset on here.

yea, on a few occasions ive had to simmer down and put my student cap on with him lmao.

Thank you for the kind words guys! It's rare for me to hear my name and "great mind" together in the same sentence! I was still a hack when I found the Farm even though I'd been growing for a long time, but I needed a major update and the good folks here set me on the right path!

I'm so grateful I can give back a little of what was shared with me, and all of you still help me learn so much on my journey every day!

So stop with the talk about not wanting to hang around the help threads! I know it's the same "12" of us frequently disagreeing about what's going on but we all learn from the process. It doesn't matter who's right or wrong we we all benefit as growers in the end.

The Farm always left me thinking "man, these are some good folks here!" It makes me believe a little more in humanity and our willingness to help each other out and I think it's really important that we pass that torch on to the next batch of noobs dumping too much calmag on their plants

At least you're not going to spend an entire summer pulling your hair out having no idea what's going on like I did as a teenager hahaha.

I figured if that was a problem in the Tennessee valley it's most definitely a thing in high desert cali lmao.

I got around it one season by hanging a brown tarp, I got around it another season by just leaning up a piece of wood particle board behind them against the white wall. Only mentioning in case that's easier than figuring out a new spot

that second pic a pb4 haymeadow? somehow i missed that one.

Damn, if that's a male do not get rid of him when he shows.

P.s. That's probably a female plant. And those grow bags are gonna start to seem pretty small here soon. You've prob figured that out though by now

It’s bad enough that Nestle Crunch ice cream bars have gotten really small but now we’re being screwed on the crunchy bits to where the bar looks like it caught something on the way to the freezer.

Got Big Mama out of the room. I’ll be pulling seeds for a hot second today. My neighbor is feeling up to the challenge despite his treatment so two or three of these will make their way next door early this week. Guess I’ll have to start at least one more today. Maybe two. No promises

BearWater · Jun 1, 2025

Yeah i guess that would be cool until you get a sock stuck in it half way through your living room wall!

I still want one though!

are you familiar with, “The Suck it!” ?

Bigalmoby · Jun 1, 2025

We live in a dust bowl so it’s the same here. Funny story about that vacuum. We bought an antique coffee table from a guy in Bakersfield. I’ll have to ask my wife who it was but his mom bought the table and she was a country artist from the 50’s and 60’s in old Bako. Like an actual recording artist that recorded with Buck Owens and whatnot. Turns out the guy also invented that exact vacuum system. Small world.

Have you been to the Crystal Palace?

Not yet. It was closed for the first couple of years we lived here. There’s talks of it closing permanently if it doesn’t sell.

Oh, I see! I didn’t know it was circling the drain! When I lived in SoCal, we used to drive by at all the time heading for the Sierras!

I guess it wasn’t doing well towards the end of Bucky’s life. The Wu Flu definitely didn’t help.
