SO here we go with the guerilla pics.....

The path that leads up to the grow...pretty overgrown. I saw a guy fishing further down the path but no where near the girls....hazard of growing in a city, there are always going to be people around....I really struggled finding them at first so they are well camo'ed.

And another shot leading up.....


This is what I turned up to:



And this is them after clearance and feeding, and spraying first with bug mix - just some washing up liquid since I ran out - then with some foliar feed as well. They are all still intact. Some have been munched but are struggling through. Not much munching recently though which is good.

Fairly munched







As I was leaving...back to camo mode.


That's it for me for the noo.

Peace, DST

I'm not surprised it took you a while to find them, they are really well hidden.
Looking good and healthy mind, good stuff man.
Those pics from South Africa look amazing. Your wifes art work is real good, she's very talented.
I wanted to go to Australia this winter for The Ashes but i just didn't act fast enough to get it sorted. My mates couln't really afford to go (i'd find it hard too) and my Mrs doesn't really care for cricket so i'd pretty much be on my own coz my Mrs wouldn't understand my accurate and astonishing insights into the game lol

Great S.A. pics

Lets hope we do have one of those Indian summers....l was thinking exact same thing, they are going to be finished late late late.... end September/Early October...should be okay as they are well protected from the main elements as well.

Luckily for me my wife has been working on the World Cup for the last 4 year so was totally into it. We could have gone to the games and got cheaper tickets, but then we would never have got to sit together, and half the buzz is watching with someone you know, blah blah...so it was worth while. I reckon doing a cricket tour would be awesome as well, so if you get the chance I would highly recommend holiday/touring/being involved in a Competition...theres a certain comeradery to it all that just adds to the experience....

It was also quite nice being reasonably knowleagable about football in general as my wifes family are all cricket and rugby watching peeps.....

Better start saving for Brazil 2014 now!!! Gulp.

Feed:

Initally bedded with recycled coco, initial feed with microbio-organisms also a PH controller acording to the packet), as well as organic fertilziers. Then fed twice weekly with super grond 50% strength so far. So far about 3 gallons of feed. As well as additional solid based organic fertilizer added on the second feed.....plus what nature has to offer.

I really didn't think they looked that hungry, but they did get fed anyway. Cheers for the input guys.

EDIT: And I have only water them when they were fed (twice so far)....so nature has offered a lot of water, lol.

So this is the clones, I have already binned a few....they are not looking good.

The Cheese and the Casey Jones have come through and I have repotted them, as you can see...the others....god knows what is going to happen to them. I am really bummed out about Thelma, I am probably going to have to try and re-veg the one in flower!
As a back up I have put down 2 of my original OG Kush seeds, 4 of the new D-OG Kush seeds, and also 2 seeds from Thelma.....and last but hopefully not least, I am trying out an Exodus Blue Widow that came as a gift from a very stinky smelling fairy.:hump:

One of the Thelmas that I tossed

:cry::cry::cry::cry:

The Thelmas are top left and bottom left, the other 4 are OGK clones.......hopefully something will pull through:evil:


And the Cheese and the Casey Jones clones: thank buggery the Cheese and CJ survived (although I can always get CJ cuts I wouldn't want to go through another cheese sexing)


Keep yer digits crossed for em peeps.
:joint:

the only thing that concerns me is that the new shoots have been dried out and have died back, and there isn't any realy nodes left on some of them for anything to grow out of.....I don't know whether to hug my mate (for getting my girls through) or kick him in the gonads (for killing yet another 8 months of work on this goddam Headband strain.) If I didn't love it so much I would just forget it.

Cheers for the positive vibes gents, much appreciated.

I just noticed your Avatar Don, did you realise that Moses (or who ever it was) was blowing a vuvuzela? I saw a few of the original cow horns like that at the games!! big fekkin dangerous looking things.

Lets hope so T, problem is finding the HB's with less hermie tendencies, which Thelma was an a1 candidate for no herminess at all!!

Most of them look like they're in pretty good shape. I have to imagine with your watchful eye over them again most of them will pull through. I be lurking as always keeping an eye on them and cant wait to see you fix the little bit of neglect that they suffered. Keep up the good work.
