Re: Smokemups 3rd LST Grow - Lucy - Unknown Bag Seed - Blue Planet Nutrients
Yeah she done the splits!! Flexible girl Lucy
lol..
She is recovering which is good, Its just taken her a few days to join together ( well I think she has, I am yet to take the tape off ) Ive removed the wire bracing and she is trong as when you pull on the tops it is rigid with the rest of the stem, no bend or flex. Which shows me it s maybe ok now..
I have seen the new growth from after the break and it was lookin bad tho now its grown across an inch or so, from thee tape, and then she s been able to turn 90* back up vertically and has gained about 4 inch from that so about 5 or so inch in total so far?
She was such a perfect specimen until recently, She has had some defferential in branch heights, so its been hard rotating her and such to try to light them parts abit more. They have grown but she s very uneven compared to my last few grows so I just hope I havent ruined a good thing
Even with the branches she has I guess if they were to grow exceedingly well I may just get close to a pound if she hits 6or more ft in height, so if her Veg growth remains very uneven once she is at 3.5/4ft Im going to really have to work to maximise ANY branches that are growing large. If this occurs I am uncertain as to the final products possible weight. Just hope that this weed and BPN GOODIES boosts her up and she comes back bigger and stronger than before.
Over all from her time of sprouting, She s maintained a fairly rapid grow rate - I have noticed a slight differ, But this may also be Genetics of the plants, See the C99xPR is said to sort of grow into a rounder shape naturally in the outdoors left alone, Hence probably why she grew well when I trained her!! That was the shape I was aiming for so it was perfect!!!
This strain I dont know what it is, it MAY NOT GROW LIKE THIS NATURALLY - So it may be fighting its own instincts? But she did take on the shape well really when I began her LST so IDK - Im lost
Just have to wait - I HAVE NO PATIENCE... Its a terrible burden not being able to handle waiting for things, or not being in control of some things. I AM A CONTROL FREAK WITH MY WEED!!!
Sometimes yo need to just let the plant do what its intended for, after all it is a weed that is capable of multiple ways of growing - Much like tomatos - Grape vines - they take to it well these vine type growing weeds.
As I grew up watching older people growing trees in their back yards, I was introduced to soil growing and was told of the assorted manures they used, compost etc; and from about 5yrs old, I knew about 10 different strains of Ganja ( I didnt go talkin about it ) But I was educated in weed before my mates had known what their penis was for!! Its funny - I can remember things from back when I must have been maybe 2 or 3yrs old, most people i nkow and ask how long back they remember things and some cant remember past say 7yrs old.
I was out trying to pull up these big ass weed plants while the police were coming to see how many my uncle had - And I couldnt budge them - my mum and me finally got 2 out which was enuf but man it took some work and they could see the holes were freshly removed when they had a look
They said what happened to them two?? Unc responded - Damn thieves mate, Spewing i didnt catch him. And they said well its lucky for you they did! And they just finished up the search and left not finding the 2 we hid in our small clothes cupboard..
My unc was stoked.. And yeah so I remember when we had a load of Thai red Buddha and Hash.. My brothers friend decided it would be good of me to sample this great shit he had - So he packed me a hash cone and I toked it.. For the next 10 mins or more I was coughing my lungs out gasping for air, after I gradually recovered my eyes watering, I slowly sat up and got back in the chair and was totally spaced out. Still coughing now and then

Back then everyone was growing in soil, Indoors wasnt the thing here for many years as people didnt really understand it and thought, why go to all this trouble when we stick a seed in the ground, water it, and in 7 months or so, you have a 13 pound tree.. In the 90's some younger guys got shown how to do it, a simple method, DWC i think, and they started out whats going on in most states now here.
So for that period of time, I saw alot of big outdoor plants, and on harvest night - big, black garbage bags FULL of trimmed off buds, I remember 3 bags being slowly manicured in the kitchen table half a bag at a time, they stayed up all night - when I got up for school in morning, there was a small pile of leaf and trim all around on the floor nearly in the exact shape as the table, from where they trimmed it onto the floor
In the outside laundry there was 6 rows of buds hanging on the inside clothes hanger, it looked mad, I remember some where just short and like cans. But I wasnt allowed in there after then, they prob were sort of trying to keep me out of their activities.. But at that time, things were so hectic that Id seen it all, shootings, stabbings, robberies and other not so good things, Some of which when I was older I got asked to be a part of - It was what Id grown up with but it WAS NOT ME. I DID DO some stuff thats just reckless and wrong, But Ive paid my dues and have since tried to be a decent person for my kid. He dont deserve to go tru them things, I was lucky as I was taken from My mum and that scene for a while, I got to see normality. And I began to engage in school, rather than trouble, and from the school when I did good I got praise - Something Id never recieved, So I yearned for this and the good wishes these people had for me, they knew my bakground but they listened,cared and thankfully were compassionate enough to sometimes pay for me to go n a cheap school excursion, cos we couldnt afford it. I am thankful for this..
So this is where i got some schooling and the rest was from older country people who werent judgemental and took me under their wings so to speak, they showed me respect and trust and i gave it back. Never Dis-loyal to someone who is Loyal to me, or respectful to me first.
A few of these guys showed me their outdoors plant(s) and some others had an indoor set up.. I had read alot about it but never tried.
My mate showed me his system which had a reservoir and pump, You couldnt really make out what the res. was as it was covered in thick black tape - But Im fairly sure there were 2,plastic rectangular storage containers, And he was very cautios with them as he got spider mites last grow and apparantly ruined his plants. So he used to have full cover alls, we pinched from work
Theyre disposable, He made sure that before he went in the shed, hed changed clothes and in a suit - Bit over zelous but I understand! He had 4 nice girls, 2 on each side of the shed in between was his walk way, not a bad set up he was only really just getting the hang of things around that time.. But he grew some great buds Ill give him that, But by far and wide the older outdoor growers had the BEST WEED. Actually, for a while there some people who were doing Hydro had heard all these stories of additives or things to do to the plant during a hydro grow. Some people were using chemicals, Flyspray on the buds and stuff trying to kill/prevent some fungus Gnats!! And they sell it and you could smell the flyspray??! NOT GOOD..
So I didnt trust hydro and either did many for a while there but now things have gotten better thanks to places such as here and the simple ways of going about it.
For mew tho, Its always gunna be soil
SORRY GUYS!! Well that a big enough ramble for now ay - Holy crap.. See the ganja made me do it..
Thanks for everyones support and dropping by with comments,ideas and whatever
Cheers heaps.. And Ill try to catch up with everyones posts asap.
Later guys, SMOKEMUPM8
