I give em a shit load of Prescription Blend. 3 gallons at a time - 2 gallons of Full strength nutes and 1 gallon of water with bloom booster and Great White. (Sometimes I throw in an extra splash of silica or cal/mag, just because i like thick stems and i hate rusty leaves)Lookin fine Redskin. What you feeding those monsters? Still just water, no Rx Nutes? Excited to see how the stalks fill out. Got a feeling you'll monster this.from
and my girl in Ukraine says she's never seen one that big after she looked at your pics. I sure hope she meant your plants! She can't post, opsec. Yeah, it really sucks.
I don't starve my girls and I can't wait for the microbes in the dirt to give em what they need - I tried that route, it's too slow and unpredictable for me. I need repeatable results from active inputs.

When in Danger, or in Doubt - Run in Circles, Scream and Shout!
It's a jungle in there, but where will it end??? I have so many unknowns!!
Will the buds climb the stalks?
Are we about to gas out and the pistols turn orange?
Am I seeing purple?
Why is she growing twin heads on her buds?
Is she eating thru the lower fans too fast?
Am I crazy or does this shit smell exactly like Bubblegum?
Why do hotdogs come in packs of 10 and hotdog buns come in packages of 8???
I'm all anxious, I wish I had something to mellow me out....

This is just a friendly towel-check, Red. Happens to the best of us (I'm told).
May 25th is coming up. Have the towel handy.

My towel is ready bro-bro!!!
Memorial day can't get here fast enough! I'll be on that boat with a 10inch Raw Stogie, getting wet and keeping it weird baby! I'm looking at a new water slide for the pontoon boat, the kids are gonna go bananas!
I took a mini vacation with the wife and kids for my baby girl's birthday and to get out of town for mother's day (I'm still pretty beat up over losing my mom) , and here are my Happy Little Trees after a long weekend away.
It looks like I'll have to harvest the CBD Amnesia long before I harvest the Bubblegum, and that's going to be a pain because I plan on droughting them!
I filled the reservoir to the brim before I left and that's all the water they'll get until I see leaves drooping.
Just coasting along now, if I can avoid any rot or mildew, this will have been a worry-free grow.
Maybe I should add another small fan for the canopy...?

Not much has changed. I have had 5 little kids in my house for a backyard camping weekend... been nothing but mud, rough housing, toy stealing, and general mayhem. Did I mention 4 of the 5 are girls and 2 of them are twin 1 year Olds??? Raw carnage.

'spect that's the last we'll hear from Redskin... I copied FIVE Charlies infiltrated, FOUR of 'em Bandits, from his last. Those are crap odds, even for someone tough enough to string a tennis racquet with. I'll circle for a while, scanning comms for an SOS... *sigh*... you never know, he might have had a towel...
Oh, I don't know. Seems like he's got enough of the good herb to see him through. I'll bet he's just laying low, trying not to provoke more mayhem and will reassert himself when the time is right.
But then again, I'm an optimist so your read might very well be more accurate.

I'm not here to post a pic. I've been up drinking with my brother in law from Jamaica and I just wanted to say hello while I was toasty and in the spirit. Hope yall are feeling alright too!
And today is the 25th, the internationally recognized Towel Day. Grab a towel andkeep it handy, we never know what will come our way whether large or small.
Other things that can be done to celebrate are to have a small party with you significant other, or a larger party and invite many friends. Or, go for a walk and turn it into an adventure.
Or, sit back and relax and read a copy of Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy (which is why the title of @RedskinnedRhino's thread caught my attention.
While contemplating your contributions to Towel Day remember that the answer is 42.

The best laid plans of mice... I did end up watching The HGTTG that night, after reading your script it seemed necessary - fell asleep 30 minutes in.
I did my part though!

Hope everyone is having a great Memorial day weekend! Took the wife and kids on the boat (it was a titty-bit-nipply getting out of the water! ) had a great time, even though I almost caught the boat on fire when the grill toppled over! . Some asshole decided to show off his new boat by doing stunts in front of the sandbar, and his wake basically tossed the hot grill into my arms. I got it fixed up in a hurry, but it sucked ass nonetheless, and I got a mean cut on my finger. Beyond having to juggle my burgers and cooker, it was a damn fine day!
I haven't been able to post much, been crazy busy at the shop, but we're over the first holiday hurdle! The next one is only a month away though, and we're completely booked for the next 2 weeks. Gonna be another high speed burn to the 4th of July, but I have a vacation planned afterwards that should be fun, especially since I'll have a handful of homemade carts to keep me funky!
I'm almost finished with my testing and review of the new ceramic carts and turning rosin into e-liquid, I'll post up my thoughts and pictures when I make a new batch on Monday.
Meanwhile...its Autumn in the greenroom.. the drought is over, but it led us right into the harvest window. Some of the lower stems (mainly the lazy ones leaning against the door) that had bigger puffballs didn't make it thru, the weight folded them over. This drought was a rough ride for the ladies, they went mello-yello overnight, even my sugar leaves.
I'll be glad to get them hanging upside down and get the next set of plants into the box. I want to try a couple new training techniques and work on my trim-game, I'm gonna try a "no larf" grow. Breaks my heart to go hard on the girls, but Papa isn't going to spare the belt next time!
Enjoy the rest of your holiday folks, stay breezy!

Trimming these broads was a damn marathon, they were far bigger than I realized. I wasn't overly impressed by the yield from such a large plant footprint, although I believe they produced close to a pound.

The Bubblegum smelled of sweet Bubblegum at one point in her life.
Not now. She stinks.
And she turned purple in the last couple days.
Stinks like something that's been left in an old refrigerator.
The CBD is probably the spiciest smelling plant I've ever inhaled, like citrus jet fuel and peppercorn.
It didn't smell like that 2 weeks ago.
I'm not sure why the flavor profile changed so drastically?? I had dreams of smoking Bubblegum, but it'll be more like a Cheese or a GMO... I'm still good with that.

I excavated the stems and the guts of my SIP. Some meaty roots in that joker, completely encased my French drain pipes.
I pulled out the big roots, mixed in another half bag of FFOF and perlite, threw in my amendment package - Azomite, SRP, blood and bone meal, worm castings, Great White, and a dash of Safers Garden Restore. (That shit is amazing) and used that dirt to refill the SIP and several other planters.
Then I found some new women to obsess over.... introducing Columbian Gold and Forbidden Fruit!
They look sad in this photo, but 24 hours later they were happy again. Not sure how I'm gonna train them up, but this Christmas tree shape shit isn't gonna cut the mustard. Imma supercrop these broads '8 different ways from Sunday'. I don't want another monster like the Bubblegum, so I'll be doing some heavy training to keep these broads in check. I can't do another 5 hour trim-jail, it's just too much work after a hard day of regular work and doing dad stuff. These heffas gonna go naked! Only a few fans allowed per stem, no skinny lower stems.
That's it for now, I have estimates to write and my kids are waking up.
Stay breezy friends!

Thank you sir, it was a large unwieldy beast, should have been defoliated with a chainsaw.
