Do y'all remember my first "harvest"?
I smoked all of her over the night/morning lol!
LOL! She didn't taste like much. But she did take me somewhere! Not very far maybe. Certainly not interplanetary. Perhaps a couple of stops on the bus.
But I am grateful for her and the bud, and feel proud to have sampled my first homegrown stuff, regardless of how hilarious.
LST begins for Desert. I made a training frame for her, and have tied the lower node growth down. I also removed the fan leaves from the middle node, which were covering the first node growth.
Getting really excited to see the rest of the training unfold, now!
Hope you all have had/are having a good weekend. And are keeping safe. I'm tired of the world. What a shitshow.
So I hear there are awards for bud of the month and photo of the month?
I mean, I may be biased, but...

Nothing like some past trauma to keep us humble
Congrats on that!
What a feeling!
Plus, you’ve factored in room for improvement right from the get-go. Very wise.
Of course you did.
Ain’t that the truth.
Looking good under the lights mate.

Sorry should have read fully but I saw bugs and hate bugs more then ever and went on a tangent. Anyway even baggy looks better then any of mine. Since you like pics of issues I will post 2 of the 2 I moved in with me. I received the LED clamp light quickly and since waiting on seeds. I figured take the 2 best autos and let them have run at some 18/6. In flower for an auto will just help produce flowers no shock. They are sad so sad looking. The non autos have had a major turn around just issues with browning tips on old and new leaves. I've tried every fox farm nute I got and ph adjustment. Various pest remedies. Still they go great and truly much better just since bottom leaves all gone stretched which simple fix by putting part of stem in soil deeper in soil when transplanted. I just don't know why leaves still randomly get burnt looking tips especially outside. New spot had been great most of leaves are nice and green just some tips. Before was yellow and white spots. Fixed that by killing pests and light feeding. Anyway sorry for going on will provide pics of others maybe some1 can help. U got way more people following your grow. Honestly good for me cause I got a sad excuse. Still I love em all and if they keep living I keep trying. Pics of autos you will see I won't give up. And keep in mind 2 best. They like the LED cause pistols doubled. I figure seeds $50 I get over an 8th I made out. A 8th is $50 plus 20% tax so yea fingers crossed.

Hey man you are always welcome to post here!
Let's hope you can get a nice single cola from each auto!
Glad the photos are doing better. Yeah share a few more pics of the leaves and I'm sure someone will be able to help.
No shame or judgement here, my friend.

1st is a young mystery said screw it and germinated last 3 seeds. 1 died after transplant 1 I woke up to see the leaves knocked off after storm. This 1 keeps on and from what I read if chemdawg for real a difficult grow. Others are 3 of the few still alive. As you can tell not much off bottom but tops are going good. Don't know if Issue I mentioned shows up but 1 is showing a white spot in a leaf. Ain't mold or bugs and they all randomly get them followed by yellow then brown. Idk. They are doing better though just a lot of stem.

Looking at last pic it shows main issue the brown tip on the leaf to the left. Below it an older leaf showing full affect. Brown's at ends then yellows as leaf slowly dies. Seems like nute burn at 1st so I've flushed many times and ph adjusted. Gets better then goes back. The white spots I mentioned didn't show up maybe another pic tomorrow. Just odd never seen white spot on leaf and definitely ain't mold. Still they are doing better and I refuse to give up. Need this to make me feel better. I got a 5 pack of fruity chronic juice from delicious seeds on the way. Going do a few semi indoors with 5 cfl and the clamp led. They are indica what I'm use to from bag seeds and highly resilient easy to grow strain. The dragon kiss I got going is 100% sativa and the autos are 65% sativa. Here's hoping I'm better with a 90% indica

Hmmm. Not sure what to make of that. Any takers?
From the pics they look good! Although, mate, they are not the clearest photos
Can't see the white spots you mentioned.
What/how are you feeding them?

Feeling the seed greed. And the desperation. And the absurd risk.
Have placed another order at Seedsman for Do Si Dos 33 and Gorilla Zkittlez. Let's go Barney's!
This is my third order. The other two are god knows where. This time, I'm sticking my neck out a little further and have added tracking. I'm tired of having no idea where these orders are.
We'll see, eh? Maybe everything will arrive and then I'll be spoiled for choice.
After this, I think I have to ban myself from gawking at seeds for a month at least. There's only so much money I can afford to haemorrhage.
Going through all this just makes me mad. Why does this have to feel so fraught and dangerous? It's absurd.

This shit is fucked LOL. Hope the referendum works out. And hope Crusher won't get a whiff of the PM seat. God knows what she would do to us.

Are you suggesting the first 2 orders got confiscated? That would be a bugger but consistent with my experience. I'm always keen to learn what is more reliable.
I agree with your feelings about gawking at seeds. It is pure porn. I canwaste consume a lot of time looking at all the strains and pics and then go to reading reviews in posting and then back again to the seed bank sites, wow, if it was reliable to order and receive, then there would be a fair few that I'd be happy to get my hands on.
I hope too that the referendum shakes things up and we all get to freely choose some of these great strains to grow out here under the long white cloud!

It's impossible to know eh. My first order was placed in June. The second only a week or so ago. Neither of these had tracking.
Hearing from other people in NZ that old orders (from as far back as April and May) are coming through now. But some have also had new orders come within a couple of weeks.
This is why I decided to gamble on tracking. The people who've had recent success have also chosen the tracking option. So I'm hoping! Not just for transparency, but also speed. Will keep you posted on progress.
Crusher would sell us down the river in a heartbeat. She has the morals of a cat.
Congrats on the seed order! That is exciting. I know what you mean about it being ‘naughty’ though. It’s demeaning.
I still reckon you could see the first couple turning up. I’ve known mail to take almost three months to get here. You’ll be alright for seeds for a while if they all get through.
How do you know they got nabbed? Did you get the letters from customs and excise?
We’re rooting for you (like a little clone army). I’m looking forward to updates.

Hahahahhaha this ^^^
Also, one strange side-effect of this unreliable process is that it has a gambling-like effect? Like, OK I'm gonna throw some money in and see what happens! So I think it can be strangely addictive, and dangerous.

I'm still waiting for seeds..... a few hundred bucks and fingers crossed isn't always guaranteed here sadly..... Crusher can hit the road.... Seed porn makes my mouth water so hopefully we can get a decent supplier... i believe that they're capping THC at 15% and seeds must still be purchased in NZ only.. so the higher thc 15%+ seeds can't be imported even if law passes which is rubbish. It's the only thing i do "wrong" so lets pray everyone says YES

My last order took 29 day to get to Aus and I think it took them a week to update the order as Shipped
Good luck
All this seed talk has got me drooling over new strains and seeds again..... Do si dos 33 and Gorilla Zkittles look absolutely beautiful @syenite .... couple weeks left of flower for me and i do wish i had some of those magic beans to start the next run...
Amen to that!
