Heavenly Hybrid’s Hideout: Jump In Anytime

Hmm, that’s weird since it’s literally what they’re made for. Guess we’ll see how they can do despite having the netting on still.

I'm sure they'll be fine! For future plantings though, do cut them off. It's not just me...this from Weaselcracker back in May as well:
A friend once told me that the peat pellets constrict roots. This was over 20 years ago when I was first attempting to grow. He’d done a bunch of commercial outdoor grows so ‘should’ have known what he was talking about. Still- I didn’t believe him. I’ve seen roots busting through concrete and pushing up sides of buildings- they seem unstoppable. How could a skimpy little bit of cloth hold back roots?
He was totally right though- at the end of the season we were pulling up plants with weird rootballs which were clearly weak and totally constricted by the cloth material - they sent some long roots out the bottom where they could but there was a central peat pellet shaped mass where it looked like most of the roots tried and failed to bust free. They looked pretty bad- like something the Blair witch might leave outside your tent in the night.
I also used to do a lot of forest industry tree planting and we’d see the exact same problem. The trees would eventually thrive on the roots that escaped the pellets- but I’m sure they were slowed down. I could pull up five year old trees with one hand- and the pellet material was still there in pretty much its original shape.
Maybe they make better pellets nowadays, but between what I saw of the root issues and the fact that they dry up so fast, I quit using them.



Mrs. N did a little decorating on the weekend as well.
All the stocking were hung by the chimney with care... :)
 
It was my dad’s favorite holiday, so it’s nice to imagine he’d be proud of our decorations this year. And the weed growing too. He had plants growing back when I was a kid. He passed long before legalization though.
 
People don't do Halloween over here like you guys do. It's a shame because I love it!

Go lil Kush! :)
Come visit TX anytime!

The tiny little "yokel" neighborhoods around me are insane for Halloween! These mofos throw down in these parts.

:rofl:
 
Put flowers over the pumpkins for the rest of the year. Lol.
More of a tearer downer than a builder upper. Double H tip of the day: fathers, be good to your daughters

Same can be said for some mothers.
 
Love you guys! :love: :hug: The anniversary of his passing is on the 11th and I guess it always affects me more than I think it will. #therapysessionover
Lol, Mr. H is the 180° opposite. He doesn’t even get mad at me when he probably should! Lol, I’m sure you did great Shed, if she wants to come home to visit from college, then you’re already golden. :love:

I'm there if i can wear a novelty oversized 10 gallon hat!

I'll probably have a few kids knock on the door doing the trick or treat thing. I still buy enough treats for 50 kids though so I'll be feeling ill for the following 2 weeks lol.

Once when I was but a small boy my father cut a hole in a bin liner and put it over my head. I was supposed to be a ghost! That's how bad it can be sometimes.

I once read that you can use pumpkins as plant pots. I wonder if one would survive an entire flowering period with a cannabis plant in it. The day after Halloween I can buy them for a pound each so maybe....maybe next year lol

We used to get very few trick or treaters, then we moved to a small town suburb and there are so many kids now, you might as well just stand at the door because the second you close the door, there’s another heard on their way up the drive. It’s a lot of fun.

Professor, I very much believe you are just the mad man to grow a weed plant inside a pumpkin... :laughtwo:

I'm being super serious! Lol. Pumpkin pots could be the new in thing. Prof's Pumpkin Parlour Pots! You can even eat them after you've harvested your plant. Sure, they're full of MegaCrop but that's what makes my kids so big :idea:

A giant magnifying glass hat would probably sell better in the UK. We need as much sun as we can get else our bones melt

I've heard y'all gotta get a tan, one arm at a time, or you'll combust!

I saved my roots from the Alaskan Purple I harvested in August. It’s been out drying in my back yard, so it’s shrunk down a bit. I don’t really have experience looking at root balls, so I don’t quite know what to think. I thought I’d put up a couple pics for @InTheShed to take a peek at because it had the pellet fabric left on it the whole time. Hard to really see, but for fun.
