SweetSue's Perpetual 2.0 - The Transition To Doc Bud's HBB Kit

The most valuable yield of my 'IndoorGrowNumber1' has definitely been; the plethora of things I've learned & the many experienced, skilful and lovely 420ites I've befriended, who've been phenomenally kind and amazingly patient with my never-ending questions and constant requests for advice! And you Sweet Sue - are one of them.

Oh look.... she's a smart banana too! Awesome.

Hermies happen. Sometimes fancy genetics going awry.... sometimes plant stress... sometimes light leaks. Don't sweat it. Make sure you've got your bases covered by eliminating light leaks and trying not to stress the ladies. One can do nothing about the genetic factors so one must roll with those punches.

Thanks for putting it in a more positive perspective for me, Sweet Sue! I'm surprised how few of the very experienced growers I follow on 420 have encountered hermaphroditism issues. That's makes me feel comfy with it as likely being a one off.
And thanks very much for sparing me the disappointment of re-vegging then re-flowering plants that would probably re-hermie!
I'm focusing on GrowNumber2 now and intend on treating these girls to a very Zen, zero-stress, positivity filled environment. 'The Flower Spa' rather than 'The Flower Tent'. I was saying earlier- there'll be soft classical music, stem massage, gentle yoga as LST...etc.

I like that concept Anna, spa instead of just a tent. :laughtwo: I do all those things to my charges. Lol!

The difference between the first grow and the second will surprise you. We have one of the best support systems out there and the learning curve accelerates appreciably. I was so much more relaxed going into my second grow. If I hadn't also been mired in grief it would've gone better, but we all survived that journey. Well...... all but the plants, but they all got harvested, so there's that. :laughtwo:

OMG! :laughtwo: Marines get no respect do they? Here, the other branches of the military call them jar heads. Why so much jabbing at the Marines?

I've always wondered this and am grateful this might be an opportunity to find out: What ARE the marines? In Australia, we have,the army, the air-force and the navy. Now, I assume it's something to do with the ocean ('marine') so... what differentiates them from the navy? And why 'Jarheads'? If it's simply their haircuts - wouldn't all military males have similar hair styles? Can anyone kindly enlighten an uninformed Aussie?

I'll give my best guess and someone else can jump in and correct me if I get this wrong.

Marines are trained to be killing machines. They travel with the Navy, which may explain the name, but don't quote me on that. As to the jarhead reference, it ties into the ruthless training. The other forces tend to view themselves as more cerebral than the typical Marine, but that's a fallacy. They simply hold themselves closer, more tightly bound as a group of warriors, another side effect of the training. When your job is primarily to kill it tends to make you a bit reserved, or at least I'd assume so.
 
Well I think I can help clarify what we are, as a retarded....errr....I mean retired Marine. Marines were created to fight as an amphibious force. Naval warfare was a big part of battle when the USA was founded and there needed to be warriors so the navy could drive their ships and do all the other things that Sailors do. We offered another benefit over the navy in that we could go ashore and fight, something that they couldn't do. Later we also added the aviation element to it so we can do everything without needing much of anything from any of the other services when dealing with smaller scaled conflicts.

Now the Marines meta-morphed into a completely different entity as our country progressed. We are referred to as the President's own. Meaning the president could essentially deploy the Marines as he or she saw fit without needing congressional approval.

As for the term jarhead, it is a nickname given because of our 'high and tight' hair cuts. People say that it looks like we put a jar on top of our head and cut all the hair around the jar.....hence jarhead. Other services sometimes try to insult us with that name not knowing its anything but an insult.

Well thank you Van. Lol! I was completely wrong on fact and completely on the mark as to perceptions. :laughtwo: I figured we had to have at least one retired Marine among us. Hehe.

I married a Navy man, and that was the basis of my understanding. Navy see themselves as "better" than the Marines they transport. The Air Force know they're the cut above. Haha! All fighting for the title of top dog.

"The President's own" eh? Nice. :kisstwo:
 
We love the inter-service rivalry.....its kind of like a sibling relationship. Just so happens the Marines are the big brothers LOL.

Words for MrA....
Sue's tip about this nute line is missing a bit of info she didn't point to... tho she has on many other occasions. The Better Grow nutes don't need to be PH adjusted. I gotta say.... if I were going to use a liquid feeding regime, I'd be ordering some. PH can often be a bit of a dance with other nutrient lines.

Oh the joys of living in the uk when growing cannabis. Rx green solutions isn't available in the uk. For ph perfect products we have a choice of advanced nutrients and advanced nutrients. I'm currently using biobizz that mixes at ph 5.5
Osmo+ isn't available here either, the original osmo is but not the plus version.

Before aspirin there was cannabis.
 
I'm spending my second day exclusively indulging in Malawi. I'm really appreciating the introspection, but it's killed any motivation I have to get up and go. Lol! Not like DDA or Carnival in that respect at all, at least not for me. But it's a wonderful buzz, carefree and happy, with all these little thought eddies calling for my attention.

I say that, but yesterday I not only did a session of Callanetics but I then went straight out the door and did a 3-mile walk, so I'm seeing it out of perspective with reality. :laughtwo:

I'm getting a fair amount of writing done though, worth remembering when I harvest my first plant. This might be a strain I want to squirrel away a portion of for future writing marathons. It wakes up creative in me in a different way. It's so neat to have all this variety to experience.

Time for another hit. :cheesygrinsmiley:
 
Bushiness caused by revegging

This one goes way back to a discussion on taking clones from plants in flower. (may have been this thread or maybe another. all I remember is Sue was involved so here I post.) Suggestion was that doing so created bushier plants. One idea was that it was stress of revegging that caused shorter nodes, so not really an improvement. Sounds reasonable but I don't remember if consensus was reached.

Anyway, here's a more extreme case. This Medical Mass was in first weeks of flower and wasn't even showing yet before I moved her to longer light period. In addition to shorter spacing of new nodes she sprouted multiple new shoots between the older nodes. It's hard to get good shot of stem because there's so many shoots to hold out of way, but they are coming out of stem (not the side branches) at points there wasn't a leaf node. I tried growing out a couple others but they never returned to strong growth. I have more hope for this one because top growth looks strong for cuttings.

I mainly wanted to share this as a curiosity and not restart the discussion. If I had a point it would be that there must be easier ways to get a bushier plant. (Yeah, I'm really going out on a limb here, one kind of like the dinky reveg shoots.)

I'm ready to see her start to grow away from the stem, and it looks like she's ready to start dancing.
 
Hey sweet sue! Name is frank! Just had a few questions about cbd oil and concentrates. Been following your sweet grows and low and slow drying methods as well as your coconut oil extraction process.

Anyways would love some input if you don't mind. I have a grandmother that has stage 2 liposarcoma cancer of the esophagus. Would like to know what would be the best cbd oil or concentrate that would best sooth her pain an cancer fighting attributes without the getting high effect. I am really in desperate need of a solution for my grandmother if you can please help me sweet sue! Thanks!

God bless.

I have a book that talks about clones taken from flower. Once they have rooted, it recommended having the roots a little warmer than than normal potted plants, to promote faster root growth. I have several right now that have really taken off. They grow a lot more branches without any training than their clone counterparts that were taken in veg. Its a jungle with the ones I have. It took them a while to stop with the funky leaves and start growing normal cannabis leaves, but once they go, holy jesus they freaking grow!

One of the 'Dynamite' formulations will work as well and has the additional benefit of being less temperature sensative.
