GT's Ongoing Garden of Weeden - Keep It Simple Stupid!

[420GodsTrichome]

Oops, forgot my cam when I went to the Budcave tonight! Doh!! Stupid me!
It was one hell of a bad day. I refuse to ever do business with lowe's ever again! Ripped me and a customer of mine off for a couple grand!
Now I am in a pickle!
Atleast my plants look great!
Pics tomorrow if all goes well.
Peace,
GT

Sorry to hear that hope all gets better and we get some pics.. I'm new to the forum but I've enjoyed your journal..

What happened with Lowes? I'm more of a Homer fan, but I shop at Lowes sometimes. Both of them are ~80 miles away though, so locally it's Ace or TruValue for me

 

[420GodsTrichome]

Ok here ya go my friends!!

And welcome Lalos!!! Glad to have you!!

My second twins:TGA Qleaner

The failed Super Lemon Haze!!

And next comes the flower side of the Budcave....

 

[420GodsTrichome]

Ok here is the flower side of the tent.

First up is Wild Thai:
This plant has somewhat of what I would describe as a fuelly skunk smell to it. Can't wait to try this, I'm hoping to get a good head stash off this strain.

 

[420GodsTrichome]

Next we have the Blueberrygum, and the Lucy 4" pvc hempy. What a height difference!!

BBG has such a pleasant smell, and is the frostier of the whole bunch, I really hope that I have got the prized Bubblegum pheno. I am looking forward to this one as well.

And Lucy, well we all know that I Love Lucy!!

 

[420GodsTrichome]

And here is my Lucy mother, at a hefty 5'1/2 height, an 3'x2' across. I expect I will see some burn and bleaching from being so close to the light, but I need the space to get the Budcave into hempy mode. No more room to bend it over away from the light either!! Atleast there are plenty of tops, somewhere around 65 from a rough count if I remember correctly. Ohh, think there are some full area views also, with the BBG, Lucy, and Wild Thai...

Some pics of the Budcave, one of the pics show the sump pump I use to keep the water that enters from the water table when it is high:

The pool "slash" pond, filled with fish, for my upcoming Aquaponics attempt:

I basically turned our torn up swimming pool into a catfish pond, hehe, Redneck Engineering,
"If ya kain't Duc it, den **ck it!"

And last but not least my LA Confidential, thrown out to the wolves, to survive means an admittance into my breeding stock for a resilient outdoor purple strain. So far, it has survived the last 3months, although not really complete survival, strong nonetheless, through a couple freezes, drenching rain, and almost no man made nutes, only water from the "poo"lpond, keyword being poo, fish poo to be exact:

I am a Homer's fan too, always have been, I only deal with sLowe's when my customer requests, or because they buy the material with a store credit card.

Basically, they sold my customer the wrong glue for some flooring I installed, and I had to redo the job. They wouldn't do anything about it, then too boot, they told my customer that all they could do is sell her the materials for the job again, at a discount!! JERKS!!

I had a problem like this with Homer's, and they FULLY compensated me, material, labor, and for re-demo'ing the work I had already done, great service!!

Reps Drive by.....Outstanding!

 

[NorCaliwood]

Drive by. It didn't have to die to prove me right damn it. That SLH. Man I've had a bad run of luck germinating seeds as of late. Lost the last 6 in a row. 3 I fried for sure and I really thing something was in the paper towels I used. Maybe something like lotion or soap from the dishwasher, something got the last 3. They cracked even broke dirt and opened showing green feeder leaves then damped off. Oh well I just cracked 4 more we'll just have to see. They are up looking around, least for the time being.
Dude looks like your grow is just fixing to take off. I sure hope you have 'alot' of water circulating in your cement pond out there. Mosquitoes might carry you off. I seen alot of them auqaponics type grows. Catfish? I'm not sure if you was serious about them. They grow slower than others in aquaponics. Tilapia is a favorite. Mature in 6-7 months and are a real prolific breeder. And they live in a temp range from 60-80 degrees. Trout is another goodie but temps can be a problem. Now them Catfish they can damn near live anywhere and they can deal with the broadest of temps and living conditions. But your looking at 1 1/2-2 years to get a eating sized cats. I use to work on the family farm back in Arkansa, and feed and harvest our catfish ponds. Ma Bell works great to harvest small ponds. Couple zinc bars and a good crank phone and it's on.
Well I'll be looking forward to seeing your buds fatten up GT Best to ya and Keepem Green

Sounds a lot like my experience with them. I've not had to return a lot to 'blue', but 'orange' has always bent over backwards to make things right for us. I'm not even a contractor. I'm just an ambitous DIY homeowner, but I probably spent $20k+ at my 'orange store' in Flagstaff. At this new house, 'orange' is ~75 miles away, so I visit the local Ace and TrueValue more often. I think 'orange' has the best selection as well. When they differ on which brands of items, I tend to prefer 'orange's brands better. And lastly, I think the customer service at 'blue' sucks. Sometimes, it gets annoying how many times an 'orange' employee asks if they can help me. At 'blue' I can't recall any staff ever asking me if I need help. I always have to seek them out.
