Thanks.There's only one this time.Next time, I may grow two!;)
I love the smell of this shit.You open the door, and it's a spicy aroma...I can't quite place it, like nutmeg or allspice.
Sounds amazing! I had grown a few chemdog's at one point and they smelled like a mix of cloves, black peppercorns and cardamom. DELICIOUS :)

you should tell her that for every 3 minutes a kid is on the net an angel dies........
OMG, that's funny!

Hey Stoney, cool stuff! It all looks so good!

way back on your thread here, someone mentioned growing a plant that had an aroma almost like Italian herbs. I had one too, the power skunk that attitude gives away. I NEVER had an overpowering odor from that thing, never. And it's still around, and it still has this really interesting, almost spicy aroma to it. Really different, interesting.

You're not a plant slayer, Ms. McFried! You're a plant entrepreneur. Very cool, indeed!

Thanks...hey here's a funny story...I went to get my flighty siamese in the house,so I could put a flea collar on him.I caught him by the nape of the neck, put him in, and tried to shove him back with my foot, because the door had swung way open and I had to lean out to grab it....my pants fall down.The cat escapes.The neighbors are blind.
OMG, that's funny!

My kid did.She laughed and laughed.
That is funny. I had a friend who was doing somethign about fleas on her back porch. I forget those details, but . . . anyway. She lives in the country, but the neighbors are still close enough to see what's going on if they happen to be looking out back. Well, she locked herself out of hte house by the back door, where she was. And get this, for this flea treatment, she had wrapped her head in a plastic bag, was wearing old doc martins, some weirdo capris pants, all stuff to cover herself up from the poison, I guess.

Then she realized: Crud, door's locked, gotta go gotta go gotta go right now . . . and had already stripped out of the clothes. So, kinda like Petticoat Junction style, recall that show on reruns? She put her pants up like a curtain around herself to go around the front of the house to get in . . . but the guy next door saw her and just waved like he was saying hello any other day.

Her husband described her outfit like this: You look like you coulda been an old, old lady out checking on the okra plants!

The plastic bag around her head; now, that's the part I wish someone had gotten a picture of.

Oh, this neighbor? When I go over there and they're not home? It always seems like I gotta go gotta go gotta go right now! So I gotta go and I do. Last time this happened, I just said, ya know, if I can't have a key like you have to my place? Can I at least have an outhouse built for me?

Answer: The guy next door loves it too much. NO KEY!

Some friend, eh?

I hear ya.Everybody does it a little different.I just figured since I'm, using miracle grow ferts, I really shouldn't overdo it,lol.If it ain't broke, don't fix it!
When I tell newbs to not use MG its because if they don't know what problems to look for/or fix when, they can get screwed, and lots will nute when nutes are already in soil mix... lots like vette and others use MG with great results from square 1... where the problem is they(newer growers) tend to feel the need to DO SOMETHING which usually ends up giving them problems.... nute OD/flush/water OD..etc.. ..
Its a good understanding of problems...not what you used..
Like when I was a GM mechanic...I knew the "what to do"..but its the "what to do if bolt breaks/weed dying" then its the "what to do " at the defining moment .its how one deals with something you're not knowledgeable in what to do if it goes to hell thing..

I think you are right.

Some people just don't know when to leave their plants alone. Everyone checks on their girls every 15 minutes and some feel compelled to feed them, water, etc.

When I first started, I screwed many a plant up. Hell I still kill clones constantly just by screwing with them too much.

Now I make it a point to wait a day to even check them, after a large watering I will wait sometimes 2- 3 days to check on my indoor and 5-7 on my outdoor. It's cool to come back after some time because I REALLY notice the new growth then :)

Everyone including myself...(most think I'm a grow expert..I'm NOT, I'm more lucky than skilled, at this time).. but I do have that God I must do something shit.. thats why I say..get a mister and give a daily squirt, only 1..its not for the plant..its aimed at those (like myself) who can't leave the fuckers alone, and need to do SOMETHING......
And as fdd & others have said in the past... water & nute is all they need..now that is 100% true for outside..inside takes more work BUT NOT the constant do something shit... if you look at a good grow set up you'll see minimal nutes/care giving... look at some of the best grown weed and you'll see small pots ...etc.. why..because they've studied..used ppm meters and add just what the plant needs.. no more...no less... if you look a guy can grow a pound plant in a thimble (slightly exagerrated (sp)) but a small pot, where as a guy with a 10gal pot grows a twig... why.. because they studied the PPM and know exactly what that plant needs... the best thing any grower can be is observant.... that got new growth... that got spots... and be warned fellow growers..what works for those FAQ writers may be completely useless for growers in other climates and those making do with available supplies....
Never base your grow on others results..its a failing and disheartening chase where you will never acquire.....
