And you didnt light up right there on the spot? That IS pretty damn weird.

Ha ha. It didn't even occur to me! Yes I know, that sets me back about 1000 points on the 420 coolness scale! No, instead I was staring at my phone in amazement and thinking- how am I going to prove this?! I was going to take a screenshot - but then wondered if that would somehow show something incriminating. Then (cogs slowly turning) realized that a screenshot was completely meaningless, and the situation was unprovable. By the time I processed all that it was 4:21!
I'd better go get rolling and make amends here... Bye for now!
This shirt is very comfy...

Isn't the quality of the shirt amazing? Easily one of the most comfortable shirts in my wardrobe. It makes my daughter nervous, so I have to be careful about where I wear mine. We expect a photo now Weaselcracker. Get creative.

Yes of course I will Sue.

Nope, it puts you up about 2000 points.

Awww thanks BAR.
I stumbled across a very cool olive oil extraction thread tonight. It's got a couple familiar faces on it. I actually read it a long time ago but forgot about it till just now.

She's growing like a bad weed WC, hope you have lots of headroom there LOL

 

[Weaselcracker]

Personally I think I am in trouble! I'll just try to weave it into the scrog as best as I can. That's often hard to do if a person isn't on top of it and there almost every day.
Possibly if I do things just right and keep weaving and weaving I may end up with a nice basket or placemat afterwards.

Or a nice roof for a grass hut!

Material for a dozen hula skirts, maybe?

 

[Weaselcracker]

I wish I'd paid more attention now in basket weaving class instead of always slipping out to smoke dope. I'm glad you came along at this time PotChimp. And I hope we both get a good laugh out of what is about to happen here!!

Or maybe wear it for an excellent Halloween costume.
When I knock on the door of the PotChimp residence and say 'WOOOOOOO. I'm back!' (with a Thai accent) I envision you turning pure white and forking over all the treats in the house immediately.
'Anything you want, anything! Take it all'
I'm going to go tally your recent harvests to make sure you don't hold out on me.

 

[OldMedUser]

That one is really shooting up there WC!

I don't weave them when I ScroG. I let them grow thru the screen then bend them over and use twist ties to hold the tips down then just keep tying the tips down as they grow and try to stand up. After a bit the twist ties further back can be removed and used on other tips. Once the tops of the branches are growing horizontally their nodes start to stand up and grow faster so they get tied down too and become nice colas later. I tie them until the stretch is done so just the main colas stick up above the screen and then they don't want to flop over so much but they still do for the heavy hitters.

 

[Weaselcracker]

Thanks OldMed, for reminding me again because I'd forgotten you said that. And you detailed it a bit more In other places so I'll search that out to try to see what you do exactly. Especially the issue that occurs when I reach the end of the screen and have to do a 90 or 180 degree turn. Or maybe that won't happen if I can keep them horizontal so that new shoots are always coming from the sides of those branches. When I go away for a week things get a tad out of control sometimes with long branches.
Yes this sounds a lot smarter. Tucking the branches into the screen makes it harder to control which way they're pointing, and leads to quite a few broken branches as well. I couldn't see it working for a plant which looks like it wants to grow at least another 6 feet.

Unless it's a male.
The fact that it's stretched that much in three days but hasn't even shown preflowers yet makes me think it's going to be stretching a long while yet, and will be slow budding, as PotChimp has already said on his Thai Stick journal.

 

[lexort420]

Wow you got some fast growing plants there WC i wouldn't have room in my setup for that lmao

I'm not so sure I do either! It seems a bit silly thinking I'm going to be able to reduce that plant to a postage stamp sized screen, but I'll have to try. The Mama Thai is so easy. This one obviously won't be. I supercropped it last night. It wasn't happy about it at all, which was kind of the point. Now it's taking a day or two to thicken up it's injured stems, while it plots a new assault on my growing space ASAP with it's new and improved thick and unsupercroppable stems.

A pic of me in my newest T shirt. Decided to just keep it simple and smoky. This shirt makes me very happy! It is very warm and comfortable and boosts my superpowers by roughly 27%!
Thanks guys! you

^^^ love it

Awesome shirt!

These are the three plants currently on the right side of the grow.
PC screen crossways in front and MT and BB screens side by side behind that. About 3 1/2 weeks into flowering.

THAI STICK

I've been supercropping it like crazy since the last pic. And it hates it so much that it's keeping it quite tameable so far. Seems encouraging...
Less encouraging, it appears to be a male. Even though the balls are teeny right now. Well, it's obviously a male...

I couldn't see close enough by eye to confirm, but this pic from the old iphone at maximum magnification pretty much makes it undeniable. I'll chop it tomorrow since I can't think of a use for it's pollen really.
I have 3 or 4 more seeds. Hmmm....maybe I should watch PotChimp's experience with it for another week or three and decide whether to sprout more. I'll probably have my hands full with the 3 Malawi soon enough too... I do like the idea of growing all three of the sativa landraces though and don't want to just give up on the Thai Stick so easily.



I'll be down to five plants in flowering then. And four very soon when the WW is harvested. Then 3 not long after that when the PC is harvested. I'll switch one light off after the WW is harvested.
Here's what I have in veg.

Five clones left from the final air-bubble experiment session, a newly rooted BB clone, and the 3 Malawi sprouts.
Silicon seem to have been making my stems much stronger. They are difficult to supercrop, and feel wiry and tough.
They are looking a bit strange in the last week or so. Like they're overwatered. I did soak them down a couple times- but nothing I haven't done before. Their stems are purple and leaves are droopy and a bit strangely coloured, as if a bit N deprived or- overwatered... I'm wondering if it's related to the silicon. Could be just a coincidence and I left them wetter than I thought I had. Also, night time temps have been dropping so that could be it now that I think about it. Still, I'm wanting to blame the silica.

Another note. My 10" vent fan in flowering room which I've had forever, has been starting to make a bad sound at times, as if bearings are going. I'll have to get a new one ASAP. I'm pretty sure I'm in real trouble if it breaks. I seem to remember Pigeons looking for a new fan a while back I'll go see what he has going.

I made a batch of incredible tasting honey today in the MB machine. I used a heap of dried Labrador tea, which is a plant that wild grows around here. The flavor is amazing. I had to restrain myself from drinking most of it just now . Next experiment up tomorrow is wild cranberry honey.
