Hello
Just a little update today as things are not going too well in the veg tent. First and foremost the Lemon Skunk (I keep typing Lemon Haze for some reason) has died on me. I think that it was down to over watering but she was so far gone that she didn't have a chance of coming back
Lemon Skunk. In her place I have planted another seed, this time an Afghan Kush regular seed (freebie) which to be honest did not look that viable to me anyway. Only time will tell if it pops up, if it does my fingers are crossed that it's a male.
Secondly the larger Lemon Skunk is having some serious problems. Her stem is distorted and almost flat a few inches above the ground, I've seen nothing like it before. Also where all her branches are madly growing out everywhere it seems to have caused the top of the stem to literally break apart. I have not much hope for here either, I believe her days are numbered.
Here she is looking as well as ever:
The Incredible Bulk in reveg is also having some serious discolouration of her leaves, I can't be sure if it's over feeding or under, I'm not too sure how this reveg thing works but she's looked like a bag of shit since I tried it. I'm going to put her on a strict diet of water only for the next week and hope that it clears up, although some of the newer growth looks healthy (ish).
Here she is, I've no idea how a reveg plant should look but if this is it she will be that last one I try it on:
The Think Big 1 is ok, nothing special but she's starting to flower now, I gave her a cheeky supercrop to try and break her vertical growth as she is growing into the light, which I could move but that would be no good for Think Big 2 that shares the same light with her, what with me having topped and tied her down in the past. Here they are respectively:

The Royal Queen Seeds Critical is about the best looking of the bunch, apart from the fact that she is still tied down. She was defoliated just after taking this picture, unfortunately it was a last minute decision and the camera was already set up with the PC so any pictures will come next time, if she makes it that is:
Now Bubba's Gift has always been my favourite for some reason, and I just can't see why. She's stumpy, doesn't seem to want to grow and now her leaves are curling, I refuse to start PH'ing in what should be an organic grow, if the worst comes to the worst I will switch her to chemicals and see if it gives her the growth boost I would like to see:
Crackerdino! The girl in my garden clay/soil and compost mix is still growing. She's looking a little strange, a bit like a weed should look I suppose, I'm not sure if she is having deficiencies but I really think that it's too soon for feeding, so she's on water only. The only problem that I have is that I know clay holds water well, but the top bakes dry and rock hard overnight after any water, maybe it's time to dig my old moisture meter out of the shed for her, otherwise if I can fuck it up no doubt I will. As for now though she's alive and growing just as well as any of the other plants in their Canna Terra Pro based soil:
The heat here is terrible in my house at the moment, I'm struggling against temperatures again just like last year even though I have fans blowing constantly and no heating on in this room. As it stands I'm beginning to feel like I'm pissing against the wind when it comes to growing my own meds, it may work out best for me if I just do one or two bigger grows in winter and then shut down for the summer in the future. Besides being a bit of a fat fella the heat is killing me too lol, I really dislike being uncomfortably hot and it certainly adds an extra negative point as to why I grow when I have other issues to contend with such as seedlings damping off, fully grown plants splitting their stems and numerous other issues which the veg tent is giving me at the moment. I won't be able to do that this year though due to lack of smokeable wares.
Talking of which I just had to bin an oz and a half of 'curing' Dark Devil Auto, it was obviously too damp when it was jarred and has not been burped enough. When I looked in the jar yesterday I noticed that dreaded ammonia like smell, and rooting around the jar I found one little bud stuck at the bottom with white hairs of mould growing around it. Rather than take the risk I binned everything except for the big bud that I was so proud of which was at the top of the jar. I know that it's probably been infected, but I'm going to ask around for advice on this. Can it be cleaned? Will it kill me? The thing is, it will probably kill me more if I don't save it as I really thought my days of going hunting around and paying for street weed was behind me, but without it I tend to go crazy. My brain works overtime and I tend to have a lot of panic attacks, anxiety and generally going off my head. It was a shit kick from Karma (no idea who I have wronged) or the plant Gods though as it's hard enough to get the meds grown in the first place for someone like me who is new to growing, newish anyway. To have it taken away over a month after you think it is safe is just shit, but still there are worse things in life to complain about, and I have a half oz of emergency LSD here to keep me afloat
the pain is still there all the same though.
