Damn straight he's a wizard. I gave him the nug yesterday and he's mysteriously not in the office today. Must be having fun.

What's really wonderful about this weed is the 'climbing effect' after you smoke it. Meaning the high got stronger with every step I took back to my office... and it continues to 'climb' as I sit here and type this.
Time for some music... and maybe a little work on the side. Lol.
Edit:
Oh, I came in to work early today so I can get home at a reasonable hour to work on the book.

Da love is mutual
God I love you guys. Maybe a little too much?
So any plans for the next grow yet? :0

That depends on how many of you contribute to my 'support a model, a photographer, and a grower' fund when the book is complete. I want to do something really spectacular for my next grow featuring twice the plants under a scrog. I've been really inspired by some of the compact scroggers here.Da love is mutual

How about two trees? Can I at least keep my two? Lol.

Hey, that gives me an idea. I've been amazed by the compact scroggers here so much, I'm gonna do a scrog in my box with two plants. I know I've talked about doing a major 2000watt undercurrent upgrade, but that's pretty ambitious right now. Especially when I see the scrog potential for my box. I actually had my friend install a super cool metal scrog shelf... you can see it in some of my photos I think. I fucked up a little and had him install it a little too low, but based on the results I've seen from tent scroggers, I'm gonna modify my tub to be lower profile. I hate sacrificing the vertical root hang space, but it should be fine. I would love to see how my hot-box does with a scrog. If I apply it to my box, I think I could increase yield by a significant margin. I just have to make a very strong net. Chicken wire is out. I think I'd like to use some sort of metal grid like I've seen others use. It's the only real way I can keep my plants down. I'll probably just rest a metal grid on that shelf and put small three pound weights at the corners. i don't think even my plants can lift 12+ pounds.
Edit:
I'm sorry, what are TGA genetics? I'm kinda starting to feel like a test pilot and everyone wants me to fly their plane. Lol. There's also the Pink Lady thing another poster has been talking about that looks amazing. But I'm an OG head through and through. Anyone think their OG cut can at least equal the genetics of these Diablos from Sunset Super Shop, step right up. If you think you can beat this Diablo, I will seriously grow your clones. But you'd have to smoke some of this first, not just a little, but several huge, eye-watering, gum-pulsating hits. Then tell me if your weed is better! Lol!

If I do the double screen (more like double iron cage) grow, I'm seriously thinking about buying a shop vac. I'm leery of cutting a drain hole. It'll leak. I know it will. With the massive tree trunks entangled in that gate, there's no way I'm even gonna try to lift the lid of the tub. I'll have to get below to make adjustments and such, but with a shop vac, I could cut a little access hole and drain the tub dry in seconds for water changes... with minimal need to access down below.
Edit:
I can see the title of my next grow journal now: Such and such OG in Dual Monster Scrog System -- that has a nice ring to it. or how about Such and such OG in Dual Monster Plant System 2: Revenge of the Iron Screen
Edit again:
With this Diablo grow, I purposefully kept the tub as stationary as possible throughout the grow and its seemingly countless water changes for the purpose of testing for a scrog. Scrog means the tub must stay put. I went down there hardly at all largely because the automation came through big time (again). With a shop vac, there will be even less disturbance during maintenance and so a scrog is definitely looking feasible. My friend and I designed the thing with a scrog in mind, but the shelf was installed a little low, so I never used it...until now... mua ha ha ha.

Scrogs yield a lot more Jin! You should get the tomato gate at Home Depot. It comes green already, and is a wire mesh 2x3 inches wide, coated with rubber so it wont harm your plants. I might do a SCROG in my grow tent next grow, but I am worried about gaining access to do trimming and training in my grow tent. There is no access from the side. Anyways, let us know what you are going to do, and keep us posted!

Wouldn't the shop vac suck up the roots from the rez?

there's enough room in my res.
edit:
I currently use a small submersible powerhead attached to a hose to drain. There's always enough room to sort of push aside the root mass and clear a suction space. I also noticed with this new air pump that the roots didn't get as massive in the res because they didn't have to look for oxy at all.

I'll def look into that. I need a sturdy ass screen if it's gonna survive the grow.
Yeah, the access / mobility issues associated with a scrog has my mind spinning too. But based on the yield increase, I think it's worth the risk. Besides, my problem-solving abilities are always on overdrive when I grow, so I'm sure I'll manage.

Fuck it. It's been a long week. This is the first official top nug I'm about to smoke. Check out the crystals. It's curing up very nicely. The smell is very mature now.
Y'know what? I think I'm gonna enjoy this. Hell, I earned it.
edit:
Oh, fuck, I just coughed out a lung... Jesus.

A good dense bud will look like this when you shave off its outer edges. It should also give your scissors or grinder a good workout like this here bud is doing. This bud doesn't seem as dense as the Ghost Cut OG Kush I grew (see page 1 of my journal), but for some reason, it's giving my scissors more resistance when I cut into it. For density, I give this Diablo an 8.8. Density on the Ghost being a solid 9. I've never met a bud so dense that I've given it a 10 btw.
And as we cut a little deeper, we see no daylight.
And cracking it open reveals an even core of solid calyx.
Peace and smoke your good shit for me.

No, it's a so-called "ghost cut" I acquired as two small clones, but they call whatever whatever these days, so I don't believe it's really the original cut Ghost brought to California back in the day, but hey, one can dream, right?
edit:
Oh, hands down this here Diablo. The only thing that Ghoster has on it is slightly denser nug. The quality and purity of this Diablo high is unbeatable, though.
