DrDoob's Continuous Carousel Of Cannabis: Hempy, MarsHydro, GROWant, Rx Green

Hey Doob.....you can do it....just quit!
I quit about 15 or so yrs ago...as my mom was dying from lung cancer from smoking cigs for over 50 yrs.
She passed away...but said she was so proud of me for finally quitting.....best thing i ever did!
I miss her....
Congrats on quitting, I done it once before, this time I’m going to make sure it sticks. Sorry to hear about your mom. Mine is having similar issues (copd not cancer though), which is one of the many reasons for my quitting. Wish it prompted her to quit too. :rolleyes:
 
I feel you on the envy thing. I'm twisting around waiting on my Rae to mature. As once was said "Patience Grasshopper"! Got to work on that if I'm going to be a Gardner.:laugh::rofl: Never ever thought I would be calling myself that.
 
Hey Doob! :passitleft:

Hoping for the best outcome for you! :surf:

I quit cold after trying to bag a sub-14K peak in Colorado. When I nearly collapsed with bloody phlegm, I decided a 26 year old really should be in better shape if I expected to make it to retirement. It was tough at first, but I just kept reminding myself that it was just poison put out to enslave me.

Smoking or vaping herb helps. Cigarettes aren’t just a nicotine addiction - it feeds an oral need. Trying to quit both at once is harder. That’s why some people chew gum. I prefer da herb! :ganjamon: The cannabis high is also a very good way to break the nicotine addiction. Herb doesn’t just work for tapering off opioids! :rollit:
 
It is far easier to replace a habit with a better one than quit cold. Makes it ten times as likely to be a real change in the long run.

The only people I ever knew who successfully quit anything, never quit everything. It's just some people's nature (like me) to crave something habit-forming. I drink light beer only...because I know if this Irishman drank whiskey I would likely already have chugged myself to death. I limit my drugs to fine cannabis, and I smoke it. That has always made me a somewhat classic functional stoner. But I know if I did anything stronger I would never put it down. Again, something manageable instead of full denial.

One warning: some people substitute food for cigarettes. They DO quit smoking, but they also become hopeless food addicts, blimp up, and again, die younger.

I might suggest gum. Or sex. But you can chew gum all day. ;)

Good luck bro.

Peace, Hyena
 
Thanks for all the smoking support. It’s appreciated.

I finally got around to harvesting the 1024 x Unknown OG man that thing was small but has dense nugs. I also took the Ob Wan OG. Both were riddled with white flies as I hadn’t been spraying them so close to harvest.




 
Great looking buds. Congrats! Do the white fly's go after the buds as well as the leaves?
Thanks! No, they just go for the leaves. They don’t seem to really cause much damage either. I think I’ve mostly got them under control now. Now there is only two flowering plants left. I isolated them in a tent and will keep everything else sprayed down real good until I harvest them. Then I’ll go nuclear and clean everything and release the wasps to get any stragglers. That’s the plan anyways. If that doesn’t work I’ll grow these out and start fresh.

I think the next batch I just put to 12/12 is going to be a lot bigger, I switched back to the 2.5 gal pots and let them veg for a couple weeks longer. :rollit:
 
Green Am Doob... Just wanted to comment a little further on what I had said yesterday... As I didnt have much in the way of time yesterday I really wanted to tell you that I actually really appreciate the smaller bud... So many people on this big ole rock have a difference of opinion than yours truly, as they should be able to, but I actually prefer smaller buds mostly because I use alot and I mean alot of my bud for Edible type usage... I have only recently started trying to make edibles myself, I have always had friends who will make it for a share... I feel that they are harder to handle as you have to handle alot of product, but are usually as potent and easier to measure, not by weight as much as by volume... I do appreciate a few monster Colas but I am not in this thing for photo ops, More so the actual pain relief... TS doesnt consider me a patient because I dont take pills for my afflictions but as someone who has liver damage already from the juggernaut Pharm companies pills, I must seek other alternatives... People who have similar beliefs that cannabis has not been proven to help in alot of areas of pain, mental and physical should really talk to more people who claim it does... Stop testing on people who have no afflictions, and start testing on those who are proven pain suffering folks... Just politicing a bit just wanted to tell you that and also :goodjob::goodjob::goodjob::goodjob::goodjob:
 
Got everyone sprayed down and took a couple pictures.

These are the newly set to flower plants in the 2.5gal pots. I think one is Unknown OG, one is the 1024 x Unknown OG, and one is the Mystery plant I found on the patio.


Here are the last two 1gal pot flowering girls. Left one is OG Kush, and right is 1024.

I like just about all nugs. I just get easily bored and like to change things up, then get overly critical of myself if things don’t work out. Just this morning I was thinking about trying six 1 gal pots in that tent #3. The little plants sure are easy to trim and like you said seemingly just as potent. I just flipped the 2.5 gal girls yesterday and I guess am already bored with the pot size.:rollit:
 
Hey Doobs.....if your bored with those lil pots......dont try any really big ones like my 26ers.....youl really be bored then lmfao!
:rofl::rofl::rofl:REALLY BORED:Namaste:

Lol, maybe bored isn't the right word, more like 'not quite yet satisfied'. I can't imagine trucking enough water for a 26 gal pot, but I would love to give it a try sometime! :D
 
Good looking gardens. I tracked you down looking for Growant threads. I just bought one of the 240s. Things are working thus far. I am concerned about flowering though. Hopefully I can get more light by then. This is my first grow, so it is all experimental for me. Have a glorious day!!!

The growant 240s do great. I think they just need to be a bit higher then I had them. Once I got the par meter, I was amazed at how much better the lighting was by raising them a few more inches. In a week or two, I’m going to set two more clones in bigger pots to flower in that tent. That’ll be the real test for the lights, actual proper use and placement. ;)

Thanks for reading!
