I know, women are great, especially the life partner type. I just don't like when they are always asking me where I am going, where I have been, what I am doing... shit like that. It is like American women all think when you get married they are the boss. It don't seem to happen until you get married though. If a chick wants to hang with me that is cool, but once it starts getting all bossy and shit I let em go. I am too old to change for anyone anymore and spent my life (and life savings) making them happy Now I make me happy.

But to each his own. Some guys like having women around enough to do just about anything and that is cool.

Hey there my friend!

I am still a newbie in terms to these boards and I haven't mastered the multi quote thing yet but wanted to say why I mentioned corn.

On the move from Michigan to Colorado. We stopped in Nebraska. I stood next to some farmers crop on the road, and it was at least a foot taller than I was. I am 6 feet 1 inches tall, and if you grow some corn, you get to eat it when you harvest, it makes a nice autumn decoration, and it's tall enough to conceal your girls.

Get some gourmet corn or bi-colored corn (my favorite) and grow it alongside of your girls. I plan on growing some colored sweet peppers, and habaneros for hubby with my setup as well. Those peppers are $$$

Thank you again for the +reps! I've also returned them in kind. From the Mountains!

My pleasure Galadriel and thank you for yours!

I'm trying to picture the corn crowing on our deck! I'm not sure how deep the pots would have to be?LOL

We actually have a dozen or so growing out back, it's our first time with corn in fact. Corn is great for an 'in the ground grow' for sure. Where I live corn is king (along with soybean). When ya drive down a country road (I'm in the country) in September before they harvest, it's like driving through the bottom of a canyon with steep walls of corn on either side. This stuff is like 8 ft. tall easy. It's mostly feed corn and not the sweet variety. After the harvest or when the corn is young, you can see for miles on either side from that same road.

I'm slightly incapacitated right now with a back re-injury, but as soon as I'm able, I'll be making some sort of change, most likely by the weekend. maybe some will go down to the yard or perhaps I could find an inexpensive way to hide what's up there now. Netting or such.

I take it your last marriage didn't work?LOL I know the anger brother, it will pass eventually, before ya know it in fact. You'll be back taking out the garbage, washing dishes, mowing the lawn and fixing the darn toilet and all before your morning coffee!

Sorry buddy, couldn't resist.

Just because I love my wife doesn't mean that I'm a slave to her. I've got 6 ft plants on our back porch (imagine having 6 Christmas trees in a small living room). I'm grateful actually that she only disagrees with what I'm doing. That's better than having her insist I stop. She is rightfully paranoid and I am slightly (OK more than slightly) irresponsible for taking this risk. Now life would be much easier for me If I were alone, agreed. I'd most likely be growing the stuff all over the house and yard. I'd have a tall and solid fence surrounding the place so no one could see in. I'd also be eating chili every night out of a can and that's only until I run out of money....

Ahh it's the lovely Lady Lavendar come to grace my table! Always glad to have the Queen of Grow in for a spell!

Here's a nice hooter I rolled, pass it on when your done

The back was feeling much better today in fact and I can see daylight now, thanks.

Cool weather! Finally relief for you two. Fantastic we'll have to celebrate!



Glad you had some survivors L, tragic enough as it was, at least you two came out in one piece.

It can be done. I've seen people in apartments grow corn on their decks of their second plus floor apartments. Some used old whiskey barrels cut in half, other's made their own type of pan. Sort of like a cold frame. Mini Cold Frames - Growers Supply Like this, without the cover.

Interesting and very cool, like outdoor nurseries. Actually if we just had taller peppers or another couple of eggplants up here, that would suffice as far as hieght goes. My wife has some of those growing in the yard, but I'm not about to go carry up a 10 gallon container and try to balance it on the railing. I could just add some height to the railing on that one side and put the plants back for now. Hmmm. I've got some boards to do it I believe. I'll have to check in the morning.

 

[GaladrielDreams]

I only know about the cold frame because that is what we have to use to grow with the short season we have up here. Plus the hail we get is something else... Boulder had a hailstone the size of a softball this year!! So, outdoor growing just wouldn't work for me. Not unless I had a cold frame like you see up there, with some heavy duty overhead protection, which would diffuse the sunlight... Even that couldn't withstand the frequent marble to golfball sized hail we get here.

 

[G-Dog]

Man I have traveled all over the country and I have never seen that giant hail. I don't want to see it. What happens to a dude when a softball hail hits him on the bean?

Well when we had the hailstorm that I mentioned above. Most new car businesses, had to write off most of the cars in their lot to hail damage. A couple of friends just had their cars totaled by their insurance company because of the hail damage. Windows were broken out of cars, windshields, rear windows, then there was the housing damage. Holes in roofs, shingles blow off because of microbursts etc.

When you get hit with a hailstone like that, you may or may not get killed, but you will be very hurt.

That plant regeneration is something new for me. I'll be reading up on that. I might need to ask some questions if I can't get enough info from the web, but with it's existing roots intact, that plant should literally shoot for the sun.

 

[OldMedMan]

omm,
just had the op. to try some nl5, two diff kinds, and may i say, plant them beans first chance....great smoke...as woodsman says....great stuff...i'ld give them a solid nine....ez....great stealth smoke too hubby says....he's really into that, so would know....one we could sit in yard and smoke with out all the neighbors hanging out at the tree line sniffing....wouldnt be so bad, except they are the psalm singing speed dialing type....lol...it takes all kinds...L only reason i cant put them poor suffering plants outside also....too nosey....

Thanks Lavendar Next open spot, the NL#5's go in.
You had me on the floor with this one = one we could sit in yard and smoke with out all the neighbors hanging out at the tree line sniffing....wouldnt be so bad, except they are the psalm singing speed dialing type....you know me I visualize things! Thanks!

That must have been something else to behold, frightening and tragic I'm sure knowing that your vehicle now looks like someone took a bat to it.

We've got a lot of hail up in here, but I've rarely seen anything larger than a dime.

Welcome to 420mag Max420 and welcome to my thread!

By all means ask away! As far as 'literally shooting for the Sun', nope! The reason a person would want to do a regeneration is not for a 'quick turn a round', in fact it could take about the same time that it would take to grow from seed. The reason for doing a regeneration would be to have an identical female plant as the first time around. So it's' essentially a clone of the first one. I have never cloned, but had I the room and knowledge (available here on 420mag) to clone and which I don't have, I would clone rather than regenerate. Instead of one plant you can have many of the same.

It takes a few weeks before the new growth emerges from the old then like any other normal plant, it needs time to grow. No different than a seed grow. You mentioned the roots. It is necessary to either prune them or to re-pot to a larger container to allow for new root growth.

The change from original plant to regenerated one involves changing to veg nutes and adding daylight hours after your harvest. I leave several of the buds completely intact. these are as low on the plant as possible. The plant will revert to to a vegetative state.

I don't know about stealth? When I'm out on the deck smoking, my wife is quick to tell me that I better get inside before I let all the neighbors know I'm smoking. Because of all the coughing and lung gagging I tend to do.

 

[Woodsman]

Check your back first my Buddy!

Yup, wasn't quite up to anything today! Getting a little better though. I can stand up without having to be bent over now.

Cool, Buddy!

I was just thinking, that if you hurt it again right now, it would take a long time to get better. Don't want my friend laid up for while, especially right now!

You know Wood, I have a cloning chamber that is an old laundry hamper with a couple CFLs. It is small, concealed, energy efficient and it took the normal time (about two weeks) to make roots. I will be putting rooted clones in soil today in fact.

I have 5 Chronic clones in a home made bubbler and 3 in little pots of soil with root hormone. I don't know why, but I prefer the bubbler. At least I can see the roots and know what is what when I look in.

When you tell people about regenerating a plant you have to mention how freaky they look at first to you the first time, and how you think the plant is dying and stuff. I like regenerating because the plants are bushier, have robust stocks and root systems. You have a lot more leeway than a seedling. Seedlings need a lot of special care to make sure they do not burn up, dry up or topple over the first couple weeks.

You have photos of your regenerated plant Wood. If there is not a how-to thread on regenerating you could make one with your pictures showing the sequence and what they look like in regenerating. It is shocking to everyone the first time and they have lots of questions. I know I did.

yep, but i meant in comparison with alot of ones we smoke....the nl5 is kinda known as one of the less stinky ones, even tho it has skunk in it...who'd a thunk? the m.w. to me smells like a herd of skunk walked thru, hubby uses a covered pipe at work, snuffs out fire and smoke with lid, so he can take a little hit, and no one is the wiser, thats really what i meant by stealth....

less smell is good for us....it doesnt have to stink to be good....we did a choc. one that smelled like brownies in the oven, but it makes you want choc. so that doesnt help the diet....even had one that stunk like garlic, great high, lousy smell....not sure how the smell is bred in or where some peoples sense of humor is....L

Whats funny is a couple months after my last outdoor grow, I came down to the garden to clean up a little and one of my monsters that I had hacked about a foot and a half from the base (and never got around to tearing the rootball out of the ground), actually had recovered enough that it had a couple small branches growing out of it. It was pretty impressive that the plant was able to make a recovery at all, let alone during the middle of winter! I have no experience besides that with regeneration, but like you said, Woodsmans pics show the remarkable ability of cannabis to regenerate after devastating losses. A write up would be good, because I would never have guessed any of my hacked down plants would have survived at all. This is something I plan on messing with in the future.

 

[Woodsman]

Cool, Buddy!

I was just thinking, that if you hurt it again right now, it would take a long time to get better. Don't want my friend laid up for while, especially right now!

Thanks for your concern OMM
I've been wanting to do a pic update and taking each plant individually. I would need to move them around so the sun is from behind me. That would be a little too much right now also. In fact that would be the worse thing I could imagine other than building a stone wall!LOL

Maybe I'll just do another group shot, but the problem with that is the sun is too either going to be above to the front/left or above to the front/right. don't get 'great pics' like that. The other problem I have when I don't move them is the background of my wifes plants together with the woods behind, sure makes it difficult to differentiate between them all.

Great idea with the laundry basket and all! Hey G, why don't you start a journal, it's never too late. I'm sure many of us would like to see your set up and wee what comes from it!

As far as doing a blog or tutorial about Regeneration, I'm too lazy and I am not an expert!, But I can answer questions as long as it is something I've done myself. Lessons learned etc.

yep, but i meant in comparison with alot of ones we smoke....the nl5 is kinda known as one of the less stinky ones, even tho it has skunk in it...who'd a thunk? the m.w. to me smells like a herd of skunk walked thru, hubby uses a covered pipe at work, snuffs out fire and smoke with lid, so he can take a little hit, and no one is the wiser, that's really what i meant by stealth....

I have no clue how all the different flavors and smell happened to MJ. I would think they are natural occurring phenoms. It would be a bummer to learn that somehow this is a 'man made' phenomenon. I don't see how it could have been done other than by combining strains with different smells or tastes together to make a new phenom.

About the smell of the NL, you would now if anyone does what smells and what doesn't! LOL!

You know L, I've been dreaming of the smoke from the old days back in Cal. I know there were a few different types, What I miss though is the real skunk that I'd get from time to time. Is that what they call the Skunk#1 or is it something else, like the orange stuff? The stuff that even before you open the baggie, it stinks! When you open it it is overpowering, that's what I have longed for.

I just started a journal yesterday wood, but it is very un-exciting. I want to do something cool, but that is going to have to wait for a few things to happen. I have some F13 crosses, Mexican sativa crosses, some Blue Satellite crosses (mostly sativa leaning strains) from a guy that did a bunch of studies with the DJ Short stuff. I want to try to do some exciting things with them and I am waiting for inspiration.

I do not want to say too much, but I do not have spend money for weed nowadays. I am connected with a west coast medical grow cooperative and I can pretty much get all my needs met for weed. Hash is another story though, and that is my thing. I am smoking last years outdoor bud and now and again I have access to hash made from the same. These guys are huge, but the weed is not exactly compact or aromatic. I got spoiled smoking California indoor and that stuff is some strong and aromatic medicine. So what I am saying is my grow journal will be fine for small time indoor growers to look at and my cheap diy methods. My clones just got transferred to soil today, they look weak and sickly and I will show picks once they get past this transition.

I think regeneration is fantastic if you can do it. It was exciting watching it happen the first time. I thought it was super freaky and the members of this other site helped me understand everything was going as expected from my daily pictures. I doubt that I will be doing any of that kind of thing in the near future because cloning is a little faster and easier to coordinate with a perpetual grow.
