Hey guys and gals. Thought I would take the time to intro myself and tell you all a bit about myself. 60 years old. Retired, on disability. 2 herniated discs in my neck. Well 1, as they replaced one 8 years ago with a little red plastic life-saver looking thingy. I also have COPD. Advanced Emphysema. The Doc said you have 2 years maybe more, depending on how you look after yourself. That was 9 years ago. So I figure I'm on borrowed time now. I'm terminally single. Live alone up in Canuckville. I grow pot just for myself. White Widow. I live in a 5th wheel trailer and I have the bathroom setup as a grow room and I have built a 2nd room up in the bedroom in the 5th part. I use 2-200 Watt CFL's in the bedroom room and 3-200 Watt CFL's in the bathroom. I have 2 small closets set up for clones and a small room the size of a 3/4 fridge setup as a Veg room with a 200 watt grow CFL in it. So I basically clone my mother every 4 weeks, and when clones are ready to be planted, they go in the veg room for a month. Then into a flower room. We'll say the bathroom first. So then 4 or 5 weeks later I put the new 1 month old plants in the other room to start flowering. Then 4 or 5 weeks later the bathroom is ready to harvest. Harvest, put in new 1 month old plants. 4 or 5 weeks later the bedroom plants are ready to harvest. Perpetual happiness!!! Took me a while to figure it all out on paper as to how it would all work out, but now I will have a harvest of 3-6 plants every 4 to 5 weeks. Flowering in the bathroom at the moment is my last mother plant. She's at least 7 months old. She almost died a few times, as I also suffer from depression. And sometimes it gets too much to even water the plants. I am experimenting on her, as I have just done Low Stress Training on her now before I put her in full flower mode. I should explain further. We had a couple of power outages up here a couple of months back and that was enough to put the mother into flowering mode. She has been under 24/7 lights for her entire life except those few days. So for 2 months she has had pistils growing off every new growth and small buds growing up in the darker areas of her vegetation. The clones I took off her a month ago are frickin' awesome. Mini hedges already! I've actually been stunting them and holding them back (fimming etc.) so I can get the mother 4 or 5 weeks into flower in the bathroom to get on the 'perpetual' schedule. Anywho, probably too long for an intro. But I thought I would share with y'all, what you can accomplish in a 23' 5th wheel trailer, while living in it, with 3 cats and a dog. Tada!!
Thanks for reading.

Thanks for the welcome. I have to borrow a camera from my friend. Will do that in a day or so. I want to have a pictorial log of the next 8-10 weeks anyway. But as I mentioned, she has been in false flower mode for two months, so even tho I only put her on 12/12 three days ago, she already had small buds on her the size of the end of my pinky. So it wont be a true 8-10 week story. The turn to flower mode duration has already taken place as well as what could be the approximation of another week or so of 12/12 already. But I will upload the pics when I get them. :rollit:
 
Greetings back Rifleman. It's gonna be another day or so before I get any bud porn up. :sorry:
 
Thank you for the welcome Growlow. I have found so many interesting links and videos etc already, that I want to watch/follow, that I too am also very much looking forward to what is to come.
Cheers

Yeah you're not short on content mate :) It's partly why I do video updates via Youtube links. A handful of people on here do also. I don't have the time to write and take photos as much as I would like to. Once things slow down I'd love to put up some photos and when my girls turn over to bloom I can guarantee I'll have some :)
 
I'll keep my eyes open for your Youtube links. And I think I'll look into getting myself a cheap camera at the end of the month. Then I won't be left waiting for someone to bring me one. And by then my flowering mother plant will be about 3 and a bit weeks into it and should make for some good pics.
