C'mon Sue, you know some little ole Hempy pot won't scare me away. Was a little disappointed, but I understand why you would give it a shot. I tried a few rock wool runs when I was about 19, trying to rebel against my old man, but I learned that it was better to stick to my roots and grow pot like my granny grows tomatoes. Compost, EWC, some amendments, minerals, a few compost teas and some fermented plant extracts.
Can't ignore the results. Pretty much effortless if ya ask me. I have a feeling that your ph meter will eventually make an awesome paper weight on your desk one day. That's just the opinion of an organic terrorist. Take care Sue, and may the force be with you.
Is that your dad's strain?
I love you for your devotion. 
It's my plan to learn to do just that. I'm just taking longer to get there than the rest of the class because I keep getting distracted. That's not a bad thing, considering the distractions, but it'll be grand when it finally clicks, won't it?
Thanks for the shout-out. I came to have a look at your Med Gom - she looks happy and healthy! It's possible that the topping and LST may not be something that this strain tolerates very well. Mine has been very nute hungry through the grow, pulling in about 1000ppm per week on average during flowering. Either way, I'm sure you'll be pleased with the end results on your Med Gom. Quality always trumps quantity when it comes to MJ
The Dark Devil is beautiful. I may have to grow one of those in the future just to see the color in my tent!
I have a Dark Devil completing 3 months today, seed was dropped on 05/10.Daily Update: Sunday, August 7, 2016
Good evening everyone. Seems like a good time to get the update posted. The only action they saw today was a light watering of the hempy pot and the start of the neem/kelp tea that'll bubble until tomorrow morning. I'll be checking the Med GOM regularly for any more signs of mites. I have to assume there're eggs in there somewhere. I'd be foolish not to, so I'll be giving the whole plant a thorough spray with the 50/50 ISO.
Starting off in the auto tent.
Industrial Plant (Day 20) Look!!! She's starting to stand up!!!
Her color's improving too.Whew! I wasn't prepared to kill two in a row on this public stage.
Dark Devil Auto (Day 48) She's determined to be a budcicle, so let her be a nice, fat one. She certainly is beautiful enough.
In the Kit tent, the Carnivals are on Day 12.
#2 is the top specimen, #1 is on the bottom of this picture. Interesting how different they look, isn't it? #2 has just a little more punch to the leaf definition.
Working on the 4th nodes. #1 is on the right.
I left the flap open for a while to get some of the heat out. I completely forgot to pick up another small fan for floor-level intake. That's helping the other tent hold reasonably well, and this tent doesn't have the big light on yet.
It worked. Tomorrow I'll get a fan and fix the problem.
Med GOM 1.0 (Day 50) What can I say? Such understated beauty. The structure's worked out better than I imagined, and I got the canopy under control and super low to keep from having to mess with the light. It looks like I might be capable of learning to keep the closet babes low and full.
Yeah, I'm real happy with how this one's going. Watching arteekay has helped tremendously. It's becoming instinctive to manipulate her. I could get used to this. It really wasn't much work to get her to this point and I've probably tripled the potential yield
The inner colas rising to the occassion.
One last look into the beauty that is the Dark Devil Auto. I'm really hoping to be able to make this one into oil. Keep beefing up baby.
Well, that's my brood for today. I got out to the labyrinth today and got a nice sunburn from being out there too long. A consequence of being fair-skinned and less than careful about protecting myself from the intense sun of the late morning. I ran into Bigwhite1970 while I was out there and we had a chance to sit under the tree and catch up. That gave a sweet sparkle to the day. On the way home I actually spent money on some basic things that will make the apartment more of my own space - new curtains for the bedroom and a new bath towel so soft that when I picked it up I couldn't put it down. Lol! Bit by bit it's coming together. This rediscovering yourself after 35 years of a good marriage is scary shit. Don't let anybody fool you into thinking otherwise. It pleases me though, to watch the place evolve. It's more open and airy, just the way I like it.
Thanks for stopping to visit. Now, get out there and spread the joy.
I'll be seeing you around the yards.
Just harvested a Red Poison...There's a couple of weeks in the middle where it's a bit of daily adjustment, but after that ya get to really just sit back and see how ya made out. I make new mistakes every time, but it never seems to really fail to improve yield.
Our buddy Pigeons and the entire family were over again this weekend and we had a few minutes to chat about his re-entry into the auto world. Sweet Seeds Red Poison, but I'm sure we can convince him to do a Dark Devil as well eventually.

What an auspicious way to introduce yourself. You need to show these babies off on the Dark Devil Auto thread. The guys and gals will be thrilled to share in this joy. 
to my joyful journal. I see you've been with us since April, so I'm going to assume you've already made yourself comfortable. Sit a spell, get to know the fabulous crew. We look forward to getting to know you better. 
OMG witchy, you gave me no warning!!!
First off, let's dispense with the niceties.
Your DDA is the phenotype that doesn't go dark purple. If this is the first time growing for you I encourage you to let her go as long as you can force yourself to wait. My first was this phenotype and it didn't turn the buds purple until the very last week or so. They never got dark purple like the others, but the buds did swell significantly and darken up right at the end.
The Red Pioson....... Yummy is the best descriptive. Well done on both plants. Where have you been hiding?
FYI...Many strains won't turn purple without some cold temps during the last week or two of flowering. There are also some additives available that will help "purple" strains turn purple, but I don't recommend them. Finally, if my memory serves me correctly, I think a K deficiency during the end of flower will also cause purpling (I'll confirm that but wouldn't recommend it, either...purple is just for "bag appeal" IMHO!).
EDIT: It's a P deficiency that will cause purpling, not a K deficiency!
I'm sorry, didn't mean to step on anyone's toes. Just wanted to show plants I'd grown of the same strains. They're great plants and I wanted to show the end product, what to look forward to.Morning Susan! Top of the morning to ya Witchy....gotta take a couple minutes here to offer up a big warm welcome to the "Mag". It's no surprise you found Sue....she has been busy these last many months getting very valuable experience growing using a variety of methods...and is having great success with them all! She is an extremely valued member and you will soon find out why.
Just a small reminder sir, to please always leave your EGO at the door and try and enter these rooms with a smile...it will take you very far around these parts. May I suggest doing some reading of other DBHBB users journals...Doc Bud is presently doing a few right now including his "in the lab' thread and his Q & A thread for DBHBB users. Bottom line Witchy , is you found a very special place filled with lots of very experienced growers....here's the best part...as people ,...they are even better! Cheers and once again Witchy...welcome to our place here at the "mag"......
Oh ya ...nice poison BTW....lookin yummy!
Yes, I don't think DD will turn red or purple at all. But I was delighted that the Red Poison did.OMG witchy, you gave me no warning!!!
