Bfq, yea I dont think I am in real risk, but better safe than sorry!!!

and i sure wish RIU would comment more on the stuff they do so we can learn from it rather than stuff just quietly being swept under the rug.

Damn Bro, I Just Read About The Miss Fortune's, Ya, I Would Lay Low!!!,,,You Never Know When They Want To Use Some One As A Example!!!,,,,,,,That Really Suck's, I Know There Are No Guarantees When We Order Something. But I Would Send Them A Email, & Tell Them What Has Happened To One Of There Order's.

do they normally fight this hard to extradite narcs to the US for prosecution/persecution? i though the US paid their narcs with money rather than federal prison.

WELL it is a hight profile case thare not just going to let him walk free.. what he did people only get a 200$ fine that's'.. in the last 10 year's no one hase gone to jail for selling seed.. in can..

make sure you have NOTHING in your residence! no lights, no stash, nothing! they DO follow up, I gaurantee you that... be careful... stay away from home... be safe!

Ive started my flush. I am using tap water, out of the tap the ph is 8.7 I brought that down to 5.6. the ppm was 120 but after adding my pump and airstone it jumped up to 345... I hope that is ok for flushing...Im guessing I had should have cleaned stone and pump before putting in rez... oh well... I bought another container to use a rez for my runoff..

Ok here is a summary of grow up until now, this is taken from my crappy calander notes in my grow room... better info in this journal but wanted to post this here now..

april 5th put 15 seeds from a q/p of some great bud in papper towel and started germ process..

4/8 10 of 15 seeds have cracked and have been put in small rockwool cubes and left in darkness

4/11 10 seeds have sprouted culled down to 6. nute reg started at 328 ppm 3 watterings from homemade drip system wattered 3 times a day for 15-20 min.. 18 hours of light under florecent for now.

4/16 2nd set of leaves starting to show, plants are about 2" in height.

4/12 water changed ppm 422 ph 5.5

4/27plants are now 4.5" tall..temps are 75-80degrees, humidity 60-70%
ppm 657 ph 5.5


4/29 4- 60watt cfl lights added, airstone.... 3rd node developing.

5/1 8-25watt cfl bulbs added about a 1" from plants. ppm1412 (I know to hight but didnt know then) ph 5.5 plants are 6 " at this point

5/7 plants are burned due to high ass ppm... rez change ppm 717 ph 5.5

5/11 plants transplanted to 8" pots

5/12 rez to low plants starved today, water change and gal increase to 10 gal.. ppm716 ph5.5

5/20 water increase to 12 gal ppm 804 ph 5.4

5/22 changed light cycle to 12 and 12 and prayed for bud!

5/26 ppm before runoff 778 after 800 ph b4 5.7 after 5.9 temp high 88 low 77 humidity high 64 min 51

5/28 nuggets appear on plant 1, killed the fucker with no remorse!

5/30 bottom canopy temps 87 top 88

6/1 up rez to 14 gal ppm 944 ph 5.3

6/7 rez change 11 gal now ppm 980 b4 runoff ph 5.3 b4 5.5 after (dont know why I didnt log ppm after runoff)

6/13 flushed plants with tap water

6/14 day 23 of flower. rez 12 gal ppm b4 runoff 1045, 1058 after runoff. ph 5.9 b4 5.9

6/21 day 30 ppm 1049

journal gets real sparce after this point. I know I will take some hits for this... next grow will be done better..

6/24 ppm 1160 ph 5.9
ok so that was the last thing I wrote on my calander in grow room.

Gees mary' way to bring the mood down... Sht.!!!
I did notice on thing in yur pic of the env. Air ship!??? Did u have it, like shipped faster or overnighted.???

And from what i know its not ilegal to have these seeds, just to sow them, is a no~no, and the lights and equipment is legal to have as well tomatoe farmer. Crap man that sucks bro.!!! i would lay low tho!
And the letter was more of a border crossing letter, like no citrus coming into cali. From the neighboring states...!!! Watch yur ass.!!! Db.

They look fine to me, other then a bit of stretching it looks like you had. Maybe step up the lighting a bit.

Your temperature and humidity levels look great. Good luck!

im sorry to just blurt this out but.....shit caught my eye...hardcore





Thats the UGLIEST person on your avatar....EVER!!

Hell Im in a good mood now db! Started my flush and Im starting think of the drying process now!

Wanna try to start a discussion on drying techniques now. How do you dry? Ive read that you still want good air movement and most people hang them in cardboard....

btw where is a update from you me freind???

Coming, coming,.......i hang some and box the othier. I dont mind the flat spots, it all just gets dusted anyway! Like food, no matter what u eat its still just guna make a turd.!!! Lol db.~tlb!

lol true true... what about some kinda rigging ie string through a water heater box.. I could hang all plants in that with out them touching.. think a small fan blowing through box would be good? Or am I over thinking?

No that sounds good "stadium" them, and not a fan thur the box just in the room... If the box breaths per~say then even better, if not then open once a day to let the fresh air in and count to 5days, and jar...smoke as needed. Ok morn. To ive' fallen and catch reach it...!!! "snor"...! Db.~tlb!
