I'm feeling pretty blech cause of this string of bad luck and I think to myself I could really use a bong rip...then I got sad cause my favorite bong just broke. So I went to dig out my little bong and lo and behold it's already pack with some ancient Blue Mystic from my last grow. I packed it, put it away and remember thinking that I'll be happy when I find this.

Well here's to marijuana memory and the happiness it brings.

*cheers*

*edit*

Now that i'm stoned off good weed, I just realized....the heatwave broke. It's back to normal here!

I have a really efficient medium sized fan but it has quite a bit of weight to it. It was oscillating and the pressure from my ventilation motor caused the tent to come inward and it just fell over right on top of her. like i said earlier im hoping that the result is similar to super cropping since i immediately fixed her up and gave plenty of support, but only time will tell.

On another note i was wondering where i should place my thermometer for the best readings. When i put it up in exposed light it goes 90+ but when it is under just a bit of shade it drops below 80 so im wondering if im ok or if i should be tinkering with it. Thanks again in advance to this friendly community!

Update on my stonedness.......I just came back to my computing spot when I realized I only took two hits of the bong before I went off on a stoned wander.

2 hits of my little bong lost 1.5 hours for me. Damn I miss growing Blue Mystic.

I'm out of weed, broke, except for money to pay the bills, and have got about 10 days left before I chop and have some finger/glove/scissor hash.

I admit I pulled a bud off 36 hours ago and hung it on the line, by tomorrow I maybe heating up the oven. My friend just had his son so I can't really go over and hang out for a buzz with the newborn home...

Thermometers are not accurate in direct light, just outside of the direct light is fine. If its 80 everywhere else your fine, just keep a good airflow between the tops and light. You should have that anyway to help strengthen the stems.

trust me its not worth it. i pulled a few buds off my last grow to keep me going, really wish id waited as it affected my yeild and the smoke was crap. dried for 4 days then cured for 2 weeks. wow what a difference. still got a couple buds maturing for a rainy day. the smell from the jar is unreal. only weighs 3g but i know its gonna be good when i smoke it :)

I had a thought, if you look at my pics, I have 2 plants in a long planter and a single plant in a long planter. What's the currant thougths of this idea.

Transplant the single into a deep pot, and refill it's former long pot with soil. Cut the bottom off the long pot that holds two plants and stack the pots. In essence doubling the depth of the long pot that holds 2 plants..

**EDIT**

I just sized everything up, got ready for the transplant and I found out the plants root system has taken hol through out the long box and I can't transplant it without damaging the roots. So instead, I transplanted a plant from the medical box to the main grow area. Now I feel productive today.

Im still here ;)

My girls are looking decent, some nute issues still, spots here and there, mainly on one of them. They are slowing down in vertical growth and starting to fill in. Will be introducing some KoolBloom next week to go with the FN bloom.


Should I clip off any lower leaves that wont recover? I have a few that are yellow/brown and dry. Was thinking its just wasting energy that can go elsewhere...

Grazz Update.. MM Mother is getting out of control..lol, going to need to trim her back a bit and do some more clones I think. The three Old Skool clones that were the better looking of the 5 are doing ok in with the mother.

My other MM that has been LST'd is going to be going 12/12 very soon, along with the 2 not so good Old Skool clones ;).

The MM clones that I took are going into 3" pots today with coco, I told the Old Skool buddy that he should be able to just take the clones out of the 3" pots coco and all and transplant them into soil.. that shouldn't be a problem right?

I have always been instructed not to cut leaves off, the plant will get rid of them when they are ready and done using its stored energy.

While that is true, the plant will use the stored energy when a leaf is damaged beyond repair it is also true that a leaf that is damaged under 50% will continue to draw full energy requirements while only producing a fraction of useable energy for the plant. it's a tough call and if you decide to cut damaged leaves then only do 1 or two every 2 days.

For the most part I have been leaving them, there were a couple that were ready to fall off anyway. I will just let nature take it course and assist a little bit if it looks needed..

Thanks for the tips..

I shut down my hospital box, if the plants are going to make it, they've got to pull their weight. All plants are now in my main area and under 250w of MH lighting.

I'll post pics tomorrow.
