I’m all about seeing you test the new light with it. I’m sure other members would dig it too. Cool idea

Also I do have it down to somewhat of a science. I fill a five gallon bucket from the hose out back in the morning. Use the electric wheelchair to carry it to the garage. Mix a 5 (super quick and easy). Then I use an empty half gallon container to fill from the 5 and water out of that. It makes the chore a bit easier. And there’s only the two plants to schlep in and out each day, and they are in 5s so I can handle the wet pots.

Btw - this Cafe Racer strain from Blimburn that NASC is giving away as freebies right now is largely listed as one of the world’s strongest sativas at up to 35%. I have 6 seeds so far.I’m all about seeing you test the new light with it. I’m sure other members would dig it too. Cool idea
That’s definitely a heavy weight, I think Golden Tiger they said was something like 28-32. CL

Gorilla Zkittlez
Just loving it in the sun. I’m enthralled.

Good job. No one can see those!You were right @Grand Daddy Black, definitely getting a bit less sneaky. Lmao! Once again we go with the hide it in plain sight theory. It’s worked so far without fail.
Here’s the Gorilla Zkittlez and Pink Rozay enjoying the sunshine. They’ll stay outside til dark then hit the blurple closet. I’ll be falling asleep to purple light for a while.
That GZ is SWEET. Look at the canopy! I’ll take a smidgen of pride in that - this is a tight plant and hard to train.
I think that's right. Too busy watching for alligators coming out of the pond.Good job. No one can see those!
I had an eel swimming in the upstairs guest bathroom a couple of weeks back. Must have somehow swum up from the septic tank 
Initially I thought it was a snake so I ran out the bathroom, through the dry/cure room to the gantry and yelled “&&&&& Cooooo &&&& Cooo!”
She ran out the bedroom and asked me why my shorts were round my ankles.
Told me an eel flush it. Which I’d done already. Came back last week (or a family member) flushed with the calm reserve of experience.
Eels in toilets. Mad times in which I live.
Nick &&&& Cooooo!

I’m in Thailand about 1km from the beach. Apparently its quite common. The eels get in the water table and just keep on exploring so they go in through my well/borehole and then traversed our below floor water tank, got pumped up to the roof water tank and then - no actually it must have come up via the waste water system to a bathroom 4m above ground level. Incredible the persistency of life I realised.
After I’d pulled my pants up.

From twisted stories to twisted training….check out the Gorilla Zkittlez. Every day I see no pistils I pull her ring out further. Every cola is pretty much on the edge or outside the pot now. Never thought I’d get this much time, but as you can see I’m going after it rather aggressively. It looks like a car-wreck up in there. Lol! Some of those branches are about as twisted as it gets. Heh. Slow. Go slowly and you can make the plant do anything. I only break something when I try to go too fast.

Platinum Mimosa Cookies A & B
Day 19
It’s almost impossible to believe these plants look like this in 19 days. These two are the last two to get trained. So far they’ve only been topped on the main, that’s it, other than that they’re untouched. To my eyes they are both just screaming to be let go. They’re so sweet I don’t really even want to train them. But I made my bed when I did the first one. Can’t have a bunch of low canopies and let two go big. Light would have to be too high for the canopies, duh. But again to my eye you can already see how big these Growers Choice XXLs get. The WWCs are the same. Nutso autos.
Edit: for perspective, both the PMCs and the WWCs give you 40 veg days. Every time.

Interesting Curiosity
These pictures show an old root ball I tossed to the side after the last grow. It’s just been sitting right here on the side of the garage, out in the elements. This is a coco root ball. Not soil. Coco is in theory an inert medium. Therefore in the absence of nutrients or a microbe colony nothing should grow in a coco root ball.
Clearly something is growing. I’m wondering why?
My theories:
1. There were enough latent nutrients left in the root ball to support growth. This I believe is on the unlikely side given how long it’s been and how new this growth is.
2. A microbe colony has formed using the dead roots for food, and that is what is sustaining growth. Possible, but I don’t know if microbes live on dead stuff, live stuff, or both.
Anyone care to take a stab or share their thoughts/information? Feel free!!! What else you got to do on a Sunday? Lol!

Both would be the correct answer here.
There are more types of microbes than scientists even know about since they discover new ones all the time. Most are so small they can float around in the air and they land everywhere.
Ever make LAB? To do that you rinse rice off and let the rinse water sit uncovered in the open air. After a few days microbes will have colonized it enough that a thin film forms on the surface. Skim off and discard that skin and you're left with a liquid form of billions of all kinds of microbes.
For LAB, we only want one specific type, so we combine the rinse water with lactose (milk) and the lactobacillus microbes outcompete everything else and what you're left with is cheese curds and whey (LAB). That was probably what Little Miss Muffet was doing when she sat down with the spider.
I use the power of microbes to breakdown accumulator plants (comfrey, nettle, seaweed, etc.) in an anaerobic fermentation process to create organic nutrients I then feed to my plants. My microbes come from worm castings as I figure those are the ones most self-selected for the environment of breaking down organic matter.

Gorilla Zkittlez
Day 29
Just shy of a month in, no signs of pistils, completely trained. Now I’m just going to let her grow straight up as she is. Then by the time the stretch starts we should get significant stem under each and every cola.
So I found this picture in a place I hardly ever go of the same plant I’m growing, Barney’s Farm Gorilla Zkittlez Auto. It’s Gorilla Glue x Zkittlez x BF Super Auto #1. This makes it part of their “XL” collection (any auto they have crossed with BF Super Auto #1). So there’s a Barney’s Farms heads up in case you were unaware. The ones that get big will have this in the genetics.
This picture shows the finished product of what I’m going for here, side by side with mine at present, and if mine turns out like this I’d be quite happy. I think there’s enough time for the middle to fill in more and I should end up at least in this neighborhood.

Whoa. Every once in a while you let it fly and stop joking around @Azimuth, as you have here. That was amazing. It’s when you do this that I once again realize how far out of my league you actually are. You know shit. Lol! Very impressive and very interesting. Thanks.
Don't be fooled, though. It's all book learning since I don't actually grow anything as evidenced by my photo collection.
