Alright! The Crockett's Tangie has arrived!! So tempting to just pop one in the dirt, but idk where to put it...maybe we turn the veg tent into a low-height flower tent.....revive the ole minifridge for vegging..............

Hey everyone, I hope your week is going well! It ended up that I only gave the Tree of Life(front right) a haircut, and she(hopefully, no idea tho) had to be re-topped. The Dr. Grinspoon is doing well and so is the Tangerine Dream (back right and left, respectively), with lots of branches. I topped the Tangerine Dream four times, which is twice as much as normal, so let's see what happens :) Here's the garden:

And here's some Tangie x GTH #1 buds that I'm working on smoking...yummy:)

Hi everyone, it looks like we all made it through another week:) The garden is still chugging along....

I've really been thinking hard about the minifridge revival....seems like all I need is a power supply O_O I found a heat sink laying around that used to be for a Peltier cooler and using my calibrated eye, I determined that it is pretty much about the same size as the Arctic 11 sinks. It even had pre-drilled holes that fit the 3590 holder! Also got to use some odd hardware I had:

And inside, my DIY junk collection:

Hey everyone,

Sad news on the Dr. Grinspoon front: she's decided to get all bruce jenner on me....so s/he's gone. A new Dr. Grinspoon seed is getting hydrated as I type this, and since she'll be 13/11 from seed, I decided to germinate a Crockett's Tangie too:) If the Tree of Life turns out to be a male, I'll germinate another feminized seed-probably Liberty Haze. The Tangerine Dream is going to be a beast, look at her go:

Some of the Dr.'s offending parts:

Damn it! Oh well, at least we get a shot at some Tangie!

Damn that sucks!, not cheap genetics either...................i'll have to grow dr one time in my life, preferably outdoors when it's legal, wishful thinking:wink:
Yep, that's a real bummer. I'm not much of a Bruce Jenner fan. Good luck on the Tangie.
Thanks for the condolences, guys:) It's really not that big of a trouble to grow her, you should do it...she's slow but I think the 13/11 +730nm tamed the beast, so to speak...definitely have to train well, though. The new Dr. Grinspoon seed is cracked open now, so she just got put in the dirt :) Technically, we didn't have Grinspoon growing in the tent for only one day, hah!

The Tangie seed looks to be swelling, but hasn't cracked open yet....

Even if I do live in herm-city, at least the seeds are healthy....Tangie has cracked open and is currently in the tent :) It'll be a full house in there if both the Tangie and the Tree of Life turn out to be female...keeping fingers crossed!

Hello everyone,

The Tangie and the Dr. are both out of the dirt for a couple days now; the Dr. is one or two days ahead of the Tangie, but they're sprouted and growing! I accidentally got a few tips on the Tangerine Dream, oops....I turned on the floor lamp a little early, I think...she's still filling out nicely though:) The Tree of Life still has no signs of sex...... Here's a quick pic of the garden:

Hi RIU peoples,

Still no sex on the Tree of Life.........I topped her yesterday, this is the third time. It's finally growing full five-bladed leaves though, so hopefully she'll show her parts soon! I think I shouldn't have topped the Tangerine Dream that last time...we'll see. We're just over three weeks of 13/11 so far and probably 2 weeks since flowering, so idk, maybe I'm just being impatient......

Seriously, how does one get some of these clone-only strains sent to the East Coast?

Hey Mc, what's shaking? Tangerine Dream is so hit or miss to me. Mine took forever though I wish I could grow it out now knowing what I now know about it. I've found if it's sativa heavy you have to cut the lights-on time though maybe your 730nm and grow style will negate that. I've grown it out for 16 weeks at 12/12 with no sign of it stopping. @zibra grew the most awesome example of one a few years ago.

And dude whenever you're ready to go out West and grab some clones I'm with ya though from what I hear ya practically got to shove the clones up your ass once you get outside Colorado :). Ouch, but driving wise it's that dangerous I hear. What really surprises me is out East where I am is you see Diesel, always, then everything on Attitude but clone only shit like Glue and real GSCs you only see at parties once in a while. It's like if someone can get the Glue out here you could really make a killing. And if the Blue Dream I smoked with a "friend" yesterday is any sign of what people will pay top dollar for I can imagine they would pay a bit extra for real deal GG#4.

And whoever you are out there who grew that Blue Dream that I smoked, you should be ashamed of yourself! Tasted like Blue Dream and dried dog food. Yuck!

Best of luck with your grow. Hold the balls Dr G!

Thanks man.....How did you like the smoke? I read some good things on the interwebs (a series of tubes, I'm told)

Haha, I think we got our 'Blue Dream' from the same person! but since DC legalized, I've been seeing better quality for sale. Thankfully, and hopefully it will stay that way, but I'm not having to buy weed any more:)

Definitely hoping for the best on the Dr! She'll be getting topped in a few short days!!

How about one of those clone transport cup things and just shove it up your big ass Fran?:clap:.........sounds like a plan and send me a cut......thanks
Yeah, I was thinking maybe one could survive shipping! Isn't that what they're for? Screw driving with anything more than a couple joints probably...............even that would make me nervous. I could have had a pretty bad experience in TN once...but I got lucky and he let me go.

Well when you put it like that how can I possibly refuse :roll:.

The smoke was good, I liked the high alot but never got the tangerine smell or taste. Sweet and a little hashy. I never truly did it justice though :oops:. And speaking of justice you are fucking blessed that TN cop let you go. I love BBQ but will never have real Memphis BBQ cause I will never go near that state because of the stories I've heard and read about those cops over the years. They still got that crazy pot/drug tax?

According to NORML sort of I guess. Crazy ass state.

Heck yeah, I got lucky...and I avoid TN as well now. I was cruising on I-65N, smoking a doobie and trying to figure out what fast food place I was getting for lunch, going from FL to IA coming home from visiting family, when all of a sudden this SUV flies out of nowhere and pulls up right next to me. I knew I was screwed right away...a couple minutes later, he flips on the lights and pulled me over.

He smelled the doobie right away. I didn't try to lie to him-I only had about a half O, so I told him right where it was. I started bs'ing with the guy about how I had just gotten out of the miltary, and turned out he was in the reserves...and deployed to one of the same places. So, we bullshat about that, and made me throw the weed into the ditch, and said he wasn't going to give me a ticket for possession. Apparently, they weren't arresting people, but there was a court date that you had to go to, just no to jail right away...still not ideal, but better than a 'go right to jail, do not pass go' card. Then he told me about this points system his dept. had, and based on the type of arrest, they would assign points. The person with the most points at the end of some period, i cant remember-maybe monthly, but they got a day off or some shit for 'winning' ...kinda really pissed me off when he told me that, but I didn't say shit...I was just glad that Johnny Law was being nice to me. Well, I don't smoke and drive on road trips-now I just go for a walk at the rest stops.

Oh, and @PSUAGRO. , I got an email from Grasshopper, basically the same spiel from the reddit page 1 November update, but my ship date still says November, and they didn't push it back....I'm getting a little hopeful!!!
