Oh and I am going to blame @Melville Hobbes' bugs (not Mel) for this....
So I was scared shitless after seeing Mel's beautiful Des get bugs so I went outdoors to check on mine, up and down, left and right, soon after reading his post.
I saw the tiny black spot pointed out in the picture below and thought omg it's a flipping aphid or worse!
I sprayed it in the heat and line of fire of the sun thinking, haha, no flame thrower but I have fucking neem oil you bastard.
Evidently, it was not a bug and in the midst of my life saving attempt lol I burned a hole right through her most bottom fan leaf...
Well...that was fun...here's the proof that I'm crazy if you hadn't figured it out yet

Highya Krissi,
Hope you're well! Got to missing you and hoping you're okay! I'll keep positive until I know otherwise! Show me your ladies again! I'm sure your Durban Poison is a stunner. Is Amnesia still the tallest? G-13 still close? NYC Diesel smelling very nice? Tell me about them. Happy Smokin'

You don't even know the half of itDangerous too! lol CL
Great video
Just been trying to take it easy this week...needed a mind break
You never went back to see the last post! Buuut cause I love you I'll post again anyway! Lol these don't have the captions though as my last post did Sunday though!
She is a really pretty gal and yes, but technically no, now that we super cropped her! May have to do it to her other main also, the rest of her colas arent nearly as tall.
Close in height? No. She is sitting on an upside down 3gl pot so she is many inches away from the other two but like Angelina, Geneva, grew these two super long pigtails for colas also. Together when you look at them side by side, they look like two Pippi Longstockings lol
She is and she is getting nice and thick and all 4 are very sticky! Durban may have some kind of coloring going on by the looks of her pistils but I know Amnesia, G-13, and NYC Diesel have bever shown me colors in the past come flower....we shall see though what this tent brings.
Sorry for the downtime on here, I know I've been gone since Sunday. Hope you have a had a great week though, missed talking to you and my friends here for sure!
Yea the pics are OK.....I am glad you actually like me for something more than my plant pictures lol my apologies though for not being able to amuse you with my wit and lack of true charm last few days. I did watch the Pope's Exorcist btw and I LOVED it. I think it was the first good flic in that genre I have seen since the OG Exorcist. It felt real and not just cause it was based off of true events. I was in a certain place in my head the last few days and the realness of it all just kind of hit me and reminded me of the forces of good and evil.Were you at Jersey? We need your witty commentary and growing information. And your pictures are cool
Hey hey there C girl. Sorry lady Belle, didn't mean to just go away for a few days. Weather is cooler here but certainly not cold! How cold is sooo cold?! I didn't think it got that chilly by you thus tike of the year! We are actually going into the upper 80s and low 80s thing now and nights are around 65. I did look at the extended forecast though and we have 3 nights next week that will be 55, 57 and 58! Hope it doesn't startle good old Aurora out back too much. Hope you got some comfy sweats to throw on and some fuzzy socks-man oh man do I love comfy clothes and fuzzy socks or slippers in the winter-i loathe socks in the summer though...hope your plants are doing well and you are having a great week though girlie, I'll be coming over to check on your grow and catch up on here today and tomorrow, so much happens in 4 days!Hey hey Krissi ditto, where ya at? What's your weather like now? It's soo cold here. Sending best vibes to you growmie
So guys and gals again my apologies for my absence. I had to go and do some cleaning over at the Hoarders house again as well as some organizing, put together 2 bed frames and a chandelier. TK is back to work but got sick, my special time has come again which always sucks balls (for lack of better terminology) and lastly but most importantly, my dog was diagnosed with cancer.
I was just talking about him last week on Stinker's page to Clover, I had him since 6 weeks old and is now about to be 10 in January. After my divorce I moved back with my parents and took my dogs with me. They had dogs so our dogs became a family. Then my parents moved to Florida and didn't want to separate the dogs because they had gotten so close so she took my chocolate lab and my dorkie with them. My dorkie I adopted at around 2 years old she is now 14. I only see them when I visit or they visit and drive up and they get to stay here with me.
Needless to say when I was in the hospital, they found out and didn't want to tell me. It was a sarcoma. Then it was bad news thinking it was an osteosarcoma but then doc said it wasn't! Went for the surgery consult after being told it would cost my parents 10k to buy him another couple of years, the surgeon says it's inoperable now. It's wrapped around his hind leg and removal would rupture too many arteries. At his age, amputation is no longer an option. Radiation is terrible for the dogs and makes them sick, so no tumor shrinking. My baby boy is going to have to just be pampered for however long he has left. But 28 hour trips in the car idk if that's going to happen again for him and I don't see me getting to Florida to see him anytime soon so my heart is just broken. And being its my special time and I've been recovering from being depressed and anxious as is, this was a blow.
But anyway, I did take some pictures as the week went on in preparation for when I did come back on and post an update and resume rounds and get back to PMs again. So we didn't miss out top much, we kind of have an onslaught of pics so bare with me some.
Bubblegum is now Day 45 and Day 15 of Flower and she is still out of a tent as I didn't care for her being in the zippered mesh I had purchased. I check her for bugs every morning, she has a little residual damage from the neem oil attack I gave her but other than a couple of those spots, she is pretty glorious for a dainty, small thing. At 28 inches, I believe she has now stopped stretching.
And the other girls are doing swell. They got their dry amendment toppings over the last 3 days as they all got fed. They are all on Humboldt's Flower Stacker, Durban and Amnesia both received the 2.5 ml after receiving 1.25 ml on the first silica +Stacker dose. The remaining two will be fed their 2.5ml doses tomorrow and the following day. We go up incrementally with this feed as it has a tendency to cause nute burn.
Couple of pics to show how quickly Durban Poison and Amnesia are drinking-DP is slightly the more thirsty gal
We will come back on the next update with yet another Plant of the Day. We focused on G-13 and Amnesia photos on Sunday but we didn't do a Plant of the Day per say as originally intended because of the super crop documentation of Angelina. So this time, we will go back to Geneva and talk some more about this curious government strain. But without further adieu, I present to you the last four days with the girls.....
Thanks for coming by friends, sending you much grow and all kinds of other love on this cloudy grow Thursday here in New Jersey......

goes out to you about your furry friends. I wish I could get another dog but it hurts so much to lose them that I don’t know if I could get over it again. CL

Hi Krissi. Missed you, so sorry to hear about your dog. It took me 21 years before i got another dog after mine passed.
Plants look great! Loving the Bubblegum! I keep finding grasshoppers on my outdoor plants and sprayed them with Neem oil. I think its working, will monitor.
Hang in there kid, you have so much to offer us and its always a pleasure hearing from you, even if we have to wait a few days.

Damn I'm sorry to hear about your ailing doggo, but I'm sure your folks are going to keep showering him with love right until the end. 
Highya Krissi,
Very sorry about your dog! They're like/are family. I have the hardest time with that! Not good for stress levels, either!
Your ladies look very nice! Love those monster colas. I was wondering which ones you cut into the bud top. Looks like they're aways from the light, so that's good. It's still amazing to me how gorgeous your ladies always seem to be. Certainly a special talent.
I know I shouldn't worry about you. There's not much I can do for whatever. I'm just hoping you have a special talent for overcoming health issues!! Well, I need to unwind and get to bed. Happy Smokin'

your plants are looking great. Sorry about your dog, never an easy thing… been there more than a few times and will again. We’re headed to the shore tomorrow morning if it rains, afternoon if it doesn’t. Stay well

Pets...they do something for us..that kind of unconditional love is just something money can't buy. Like when my son tells me I'm the best Mama in the world. No anti depressant could compete with that. Sucks man, especially cause he's not with me but such is the circle of life. I'm grateful for the time I had with him and all his antics.Plants look amazing Jersey and my heart
Missed you too Gid, always do...I hadn't had a dog since I was a little girl so he was my first technically. Now it will either be I'm coming home with 3 dogs one day or I need a break. But for now, no dogs...my heart..
Thanks! They are working it and so is that little gem outside. Well, last 2 days she has been inside because of the rain that started yesterday afternoon through the eveninh and the storms passing through today. So I have a washing machine green friend for another day. Neem oil works wonders just dont overdo it like me and go crazy and do NOT spray in direct sunlight. Idc how many bugs you see lol just wait or you will burn holes in your leaves like me hahahaha
Awww that is really kind of you to say, thank you. Happy to be here today talking to you guys for sure
He's in the best hands, my parents treat the dogs like the Egyptians treated their cats. Royalty and beyond. He will be loved on doted on and made to be as comfortable as possible. They already ordered him a ramp and some other accommodations to make life easier for himDamn I'm sorry to hear about your ailing doggo, but I'm sure your folks are going to keep showering him with love right until the end.
It is so hard, thank you and especially now that guess what, TK has Covid! Aayyyyyyyeee so he's home locked in the bedroom praying H and I don't catch it. Stress is like a leech to me.
Awww and thank you for this Positivity. I truly appreciate it. I didn't snip yet, waiting til week 4 to do the deed and it will be Amnesia and Durban when I do. Leaving the Indicas to fatten as they normally would. I was creeping close with a couple DP colas so I fitted the yo yos again for 2 of her mains this morning. One on the right back side of the plant towards Amnesia and the other was a centralized cola that I ran over and behind Marilyn (as is one of Angelina's mains as well). This is good for Durban though since it opens her up, she's a fat thing.
I always have a little magic hidden. I hope you were able to unwind and slept well Bode! We all need a good night's sleep! Yesterday while TK and the baby slept, so did I! Passed out til 1 AM on the couch. No one to bother me although I did wake up to my son laying next to me and wound up in his bed for the remainder of the night with him as my bedroom is now contaminated.
Hey Slap, thanks brother I appreciate you reaching out. Raining here but I think it's gonna last through the day, Tstorms in the afternoon also so just be careful driving this way. I'm in Beachwood, I'd say stop by and smoke while you're down the shore since I'm right here but with TK and Covid, that's a no go right now. 2 more weekends of traffic then you can come to the shore in half the time lolyour plants are looking great. Sorry about your dog, never an easy thing… been there more than a few times and will again. We’re headed to the shore tomorrow morning if it rains, afternoon if it doesn’t. Stay well
So hello again. Promised I would be back today with a little focus on Geneva, our G-13 photoperiod. It was not happening, me getting her out of the tent, lol. But I did manage to get some shots as I pushed some plants out of the way and contortioned myself in the tent in odd ways. Luckily Marilyn is decently easy to move, probably 50#, so she was taken out to give me a little room to work.
Before moving onto her, I had to do something with Uma today, her colas were not at the light but they were too close for the soon to be fattening buds. So I super cropped two of her mains today as noted in the communication with Bode, above.
This left the tents canopy far more even and also opened up a lot of space for light penetration as well.
While Marilyn our NYC Diesel, was out of the tent, I grabbed a couple shots of her royal thickness
It's hard to see behind DP and this fat short lady you just saw so here's a pic of just these two
One of Angelina's mains was calling to me for a little photo of her developing buds and trichomes and just to compare colors (as I touched on very briefly yesterday), a bud of Uma's as well.
And finally the pics of our G-13. This Indica has heavy sedation properties and is known to be a one hit and quit. In fact, my first smoke of her 2 years ago, I did take a break after one hit. She was fire. This is a powerhouse medicinal smoke.
I had to trim her predecessor, G, by myself, took me 16 hours. I won't forget that. Just telling myself, keeeeeep going! Don't stop won't stop can't stop! But the reward from her plentiful bounty was so worth it.
She is a fast finisher and her buds are Indica dense and very resinous. She smells of earthy dank, orange and lemon while in flower. I have never known her to have any color but I see a singular leaf showing some sort of color coming on. Idk where that is stemming from but, it's cool, I'll take it.
G-13 is the strain featured in the film, American Beauty, if you guys remember that crazy ass psychological drama. One of our competitor's voted this strain, the "Best High of All-Time".
We will delve more into G-13 over the next 5 weeks but until we do, a cornucopia of photos of her for you to enjoy.
I think that wraps up this morning's update. Thanks for all the puppy and grow love and all the other love you guys show me every day. I am grateful for all of you, some of the best friends I've never met. Hopefully one day I will. Couple more PMs to answer and I will be caught up again, thankfully.
Enjoy your grow Friday from rainy NJ!
we’re headed to SIC, probably leave after lunch and get in behind the rain hopefully.
Take care
Take care
