I hear that - never enough light. 15 amp service take it up to 1500w and turn in back a hair (1800w is 15 amps) <--that's going to get hot!
There was a pediatrician in our area that got caught growing weed cause he started a fire in his grow room (garage) and called the fire dept and they called the police. I think he was growing for some of his patients = kids with epilepsy and cancer. These kinds of stories get swept under the carpet. I bet there's folks helping other folks out all around us, I sure hope so, I know so.
I just read about big Pharma throwing 2 BILLION $$ worth of meds down the drain so they and the docs that were prescribing them could make even more money. Thats f-ed up. Prescription for 150mg - Pharma Co only makes doses in 100mg packages KNOWING the usual dose is 150mg...50 mg down the drain - every script = money in both pockets for big pharma. That's messed up. That's for meds that people need to STAY ALIVE. How can corporate leaders look themselves in the mirror every day or any day??
Would anyone throw cannabis away to make money... yeah not going to happen I doubt ever.
Ok off my soap box for the time being.
Update alert:
Been doing a compost tea watering for the last 7 days or so.
Tea recipe is:
1 cup worm castings
1/4 cup pure coconut water
1 cup rabbit berries (poop)
3-5 gallons RO water
Bubble 24 hours
2 cups of the above into 3-4 gallons RO water and top drench in
Also add a cup to foiler in addition to our semi-weekly (2x a week) IPM
So diluted compost tea - no BSM - I want to bubble for a week or so. If I add in sugar then the tea will start to sour or ferment which is a no-go kill plants. At the end of my week after taking 2-3 cups of tea and topping off with more water, I added in some malted corn (non-gmo organic) ground up bubble for 24 hrs and add a gallon of that tea in to a 4 gallon bucket and water that in. Extra tea goes to the outdoor gardens which will seriously go nuts here in a month or so.
This all takes me about 5 minutes more MAYBE... to water the ladies.
Here they are in all their beautiful glory...errr well OK glory!
First up - new lady in the flower room - B45 test batch from Exotic Genetix - got this free with an order of Kimbo Kush
New girl again ...
Krystalica Pheno C - new one in the Flower room - she's about 25 days in flower... I forget not long tho. Notice I don't need to defoil down low - the laf falls off naturally with this one. They all do this - I've tried giving them LOTS of N doesn't matter. No insects - even up potted to 10 gal pots all the same. This pot has been no-til for 6 rounds. Time to retire this one and use the pot for autos
I had this one in VEG for 60+ days and she's going to have to be tied up pretty soon she's going to be a good yielder too wow. I've got 3 of her twin sisters in VEG - all same age. Out of those 3 just 1 has this look without flowers. I'm looking for some super keepers to clone.
Headband - looking frosty with lots o green. Hope to change that to all frosty. I think its going to take a while.
... and more Headband
Mandala California Dream getting going
Krystalica - need about 3 more weeks with this one. Next up will be some Malted Barley Tea - that shortens the flower cycle by about a week and brings out more terpenes and resins = goodness.
Krystalica another... This girl the main stalk has been supported started after 3 weeks in flower... she's got a heavy main cola. I like to collect those big main colas and let them cure for a few months. That really brings out the flavor profile with a very very nice medication. You have any ailments = gone for 24 hrs. with giggles of course.
Headband side view.. I'm used to faster growth/flowers.
Krystalica 2 top girl.. she's got 2 main colas same size and height - usually 1 main and many sides... this one 2 mains and few sides....
Her ^^^ stall mate... the latest Krystalica in flower
Cali Dream again side shot - pretty impressive starting to see the 50/50 indica/sativa here. Her shape from X-mas tree to a more slender big bud lady is starting to show. I think I'm starting to see a resemblance to Krystalica - that big big main cola and she's getting more slender at the waist. Looking mighty fine here.
Veg Room: HSO Chemdog boom... she's starting to take off. Oh yeah I can already see some promise here.
Can't leave without a shout out to SS - Finally a tall Dark Devil not going to go black this time I don't think... that can change tho.
Dark Devil auto - I messed up with my camera again.. ??
All the above pics were from last night at lights out. Tonight I did my IPM foiler and just water FTW.
