Thank for 'the tickets' as they say in our language in points unknown :) I never cut lighting back to rush a plant. I would expect ssh x ssh seedplants to go well past 71 days after the flip on avg. I usually get sex within 10-20 days of flippin em. The Hotchix is a plant from a seed from the last bag of bud that I bought ~10 months ago. Smoked pretty good, but the cute girl was sellin it for someone else, and wanted a 100/Q. 120/Q for primo, 100/Q for GREEN buds is what it should have been. This bud looked like good brick (150-200/zip; 45-70/Q). Anyway, I bought a 20, and got a few seeds. Buds put on a lil weight, but are quite spongy. It will be interesting to see where she comes in weight-wise. I'm thinkin ~30-35g (dry, trimmed, blahblahblah)

SSH #1 is the iffy. Smoked with a buddy of mine who hadn't smoked in ~a month a couple of days ago. First night we smoked a lil dutch of Spice, and a bowl of MMG, he passed out in a good, sleepy way. Next day we smoked a few bowls (Spice, Shit) and a lil mixed bubble/oil. No problem, he just took a few hits at a time. ~3pm I rolled ~.8g of SSH#1 in a GarciaVega minature. I felt bad. He is a vet, but like I said tolerence is shot. He struggled to stay awake (watchin some football re-run) for ~ an hr, slept for ~15 min, then had to go puke and sleep for ~30+ min. Even after all of that, and some food, and water, and cigs, d00d still was havin trouble talking and 'getting it together'. I thought in my head about the lil Nev's story on the MrN w/s, and I joked in my head "3-4 hrs for d00d" when I saw him start to turn for the worse. I hope he got home OK, he left ~4 hrs after smokin, and was either stoned or way burnt...
Beware the power of the iffy...

I figgure that I will have at least 2 zips of headstash (finished) in flower at all times. It has been that way just about since I started running the clones in the spring. For me, the high is perfect. STRONG sativa influence, enough indica (@ 12wks) to make sitting still cool too... The high lasts a long time, and the room (and yer clothes) smells like THE JAM if you smoke a decent quantity. ;)

Hey keep an eye on the 'mergencies, as some of them are ssh x ssh. I am 90%+ sure that the plant that I supercropped in the grooming thread is a ssh f2 female. I suppose it would be possible to go 1 or 0 for 8 or 9 fems (ALL SuperSpice), but I'm thinkin at least 3 of each (odds alone). Keep in mind that my seedplants get 'day 1' when they show, not when I flip em. I flip after ~30 days +/- ~ a wk. It takes 10-20 days to show sex for me and mine. Some males will pop in a wk, but they are the exception, IME.

Iffy and mixed bubble got me TYP-IN. :)
 
Smokin some uncured pakalolo and ssh. Coughy hazy, fruity.

Final count on the 'mergencies: 10. Hopefully they will all wanna stay females :) Gonna put the superlolo's into solos 2moros. Waiting on the 2 EQ's to sex, 4 Dev's lookin good in their 4x4's. Slow growing so far.

OK, one of my fave movies of all time is Joe Dirt. It is FILLED with quality quotes, and up near the top is, "Life's a garden, dig it...". So I'm surfin around before and I found this lil gem.

Out-of-work upstate miner Sam Gallup picked up and moved to Montana, heeding the voice - and job offer - that said, 'Go West, young man!' He worked one shift and got laid off again. Larry Mayer


Sam Gallup bolted New York for a new home, a new life and a new job in Montana.

One 10-hour shift later, he was facing the same old problem: Unemployment.

The 24-year-old upstate mine worker traveled 2,000 miles to find work only to get laid off after one day on the payroll of the Stillwater Mining Co.

"It's kind of a dead-end situation," Gallup said Thursday.

"Job security? There is none. Right now, I'm in the financial situation of losing everything."

Gallup received the bad news Monday night after returning home from his first and last day of work.

Standing on the porch of a friend's house in Billings, he noticed a voice mail on his cell phone.

Seconds later, in disbelief, the recorded voice said he was out of work - again.

"I was a little upset," he said in an even tone. "The fellow that called, he apologized several times, but that was it."

In August, the St. Lawrence Zinc company in upstate New York laid off Gallup.

Stillwater recruited him and some co-workers willing to leave their homes for Montana.

"I packed up everything I owned in my car and drove out here," he said from Montana.

"Took me three days. Then I drove two hours to work, two hours home, with a 10-hour shift between."

And that was it.

Gallup's mother, Maryann, said her son was keeping a brave front.

"He's very devastated," she said from their home in upstate Gouverneur, which is about a snowball's throw from Canada.

"From knowing Sam, I think the world has crumbled underneath his feet."

Stillwater, which mines platinum and palladium at two sites in southern Montana, laid off more than 500 employees this week from a work force of 1,770.

Gallup receives his one-day check on Dec. 1.

It can't come soon enough; the miner acknowledges "my capital funds are exhausted" - he's flat broke.

For now, Gallup is living in a friend's finished basement and hoping to move his fiancée and her son to Montana.

He was back on the job hunt Thursday - and optimistic about the future.

"You've gotta keep your head up," Gallup said. "Life is a garden. You gotta dig it."

Hahahaha. That dude will be fine. If I could, I'd get a buddy of mine out in cowboy land to go smoke him out...
 
Hasn't gotten over 20 deg for more than 1 hour at a time for 3 days. I HATE THE WINTER. Thought you'd like to know. My room prolly dips into the upper 40's. I'd say in the 60's during the day, ~70-75 on top of the canopy. Lets the true colors come shining through. She calls herself Cynthia...

Very similar to the others. Shit is more homogeneous than 2%. Prolly got 2-3 wks to go, but gonna be a nice yielder. I'm starting to get wonderfully familiar with that Shitty scent... :D
 
Yo ruthless-toothless, why no herb? LOL, it's a small island, someone's got that Nev's, or some CM. I THINK you are from the uk... If the US was the size of England, I'd be chillin with A BUNCH of guys on here. Next person to post has to smoke me out... :rolleyes: :roll'emagain

Hey Barletta!

Great thread youve got here with looots of nice pics

This Pakalolo sure looks Killer ! The flower structure looks similar to some of the plants I ve seen in mns haze hybrids . Hows the smell like?
 
L, whattup, my man? LOL, didn't mean to step on ur toes with the virus response (btw, I just looked 2 seedlings over - (pinebud x g13) f2 - that look to have it too). That pakalolo is like sweet catpissy sativa. Not pissy like a stanky c99/shiva/cannaloupe, but sweet. I haven't sampled any of that one, but I loved one of the first 2 (the more sativa dom) that I ran in the spring, and the 1 I cut last wk is killer. The pakalolo #1 (last wk, ~80 days flower) tastes like fruity haze to me. I know that there is no 'haze' in the lineage, but that's what I smell and feel. I have 10 superlolo's (pakalolo x ssh) that I'm putting into 12/12 2moro. They are ~3wks old, and the pakalolo momma seemed to be (structurally) inbetween these 2, and smelled like cheesey, bredcrumbs, skunk, haze. I bet I get atleast 1 KILLER female outta these plants. :^)

Here are the first 2 pakalolo's I had. The one on the right (small) is the mom of the superlolo's. She was kept under flouro's till ~6 wks, so no real comparison. All of the single plant shots are of the superlolo mom.

Those shots are ~10/11wks from flip, so 7/8 wks flower. Mom was done ~10 wks flower.
 
The clones - no dome, down to ~45deg @times, and still way happier than in the boxes...

Mo veg. Clear cups are SuperLolo for the most part. That yellow crusty thing is alive, and growing rootz. SSH6 momma to be. Tall cups are Indikilla's, big pots are SSH(#1 x2, #4 x3, #5 x1+2 rooted) or Pakalolo #1(big 1 in the middle)

Random shots in the pure dark.

Toothless, Pounder, Yo! Yeah, Down Below is my home base. You are better off not buyin the bullshit, toofless. Thanks guys fer the kind words :)

Ugh. The cold burst a pipe Sunday morning. Been 2 days now without real running water. Landlord sent over his buddy today, who is SUPER nice, and obviously knows what he is doing as far as plumbing, but his results were like mine on Sunday - leaky. The guy knows how to solder pipe, and had no problems (eyeballing) building the setup, but he is 65+ and not in the best shape to be squatting and crawling in and out of a crawl space. He had a problem with getting the 'bottom' coupling soldered. So fer the time being, I'm manually draining water out of the bottom of my basement tank for water. No showers. :( Dood promised he'd take a whack at it again 2moro, and landlord promised a resolution within the next few days.

LOL, thanks for letting me vent! Um... didn't really mess too much with the plants last few days, but gonna re-pot the Superlolo's and flip em 2moro. Also going to repot the EQ's. I need a blunt of MMG and bed...
 
Hey man: sorry about the pipes.

Pipes have to be PERFECTLY clean AND dry , as in bone dry....before silver soldering them....otherwise it's 99%+ for sure you'll have a leak. Trust me.

Where are your plants...relative to where the plumbing problem is?

SativaFan

My SSH x SSH plants are finishing week 11 tomorrow. I may chop them after week 12 sometime. We'll see.
 
Heya b,hows tha pipes:eek:?,hope you got it sorted alreay been cracking out the welder must be freezin ect atm?


btw spanking plants mate you deserve a couple of tickets:D: at least i reckon youve ernt em with that lot of beauty's jee i'd love to sample em ALL!

ps bro i finally properly figured that 1 out (der to me),realised it means like a ticket-tape parade(self administered lol) or i guess a confetti shower or somethin in the US.anyway enough about that its a silly one at best


ps,wise ol pa;) dood


cheers!
 
Yo guys. Problem solved (for tonight, and hopefully fer good). I put a shark bite 3/4" x 3/4" coupling on the bottom, and got busy with the solder on the rest. Yo, I'm officially an apprentice plumber. I had a big strip of sandpaper, and I pulled enough sheetrock to be able to work from the kitchen (not the hole). Watched the couplings GOBBLE the solder. Problems were not 100% clean, dry, prepped pipes, and using this other 'gen. purpose' solder.

Google 'Shark Bite fittings'. Thing SLID together. Not code approved, but is well built, and literally took 10 min to prep the pipe ends, and 10 seconds to connect em. No heat, glue, solder. Wet/Dry, whatever. Couldn't do it on someone else's home, but they will be my future fixes in any spot where accessibility is questionable. If I just grabbed the "T" that broke, and the 90deg sharkbites, (and would have known 4days ago how to sweat the old ones out) I would have spent ~15 bux, and a cutter and sandpaper would have been another ~20. $35. I now have fukkin lengths of pipe, and glue, and epoxy, and solder all over the fukkin floor... BUT, I learned how to do it the right way, and would feel comfortable soldering pipe in the future (in less cramped spots).

Clones suffered a lil (no attention), and the light schedule was a lil screwey (off a few hrs early for a few days). 1 EQ showed it's a fem, so I'm gonna take 8 cuts 2moro.

Sharkbite - Cash Acme. :D:D
 
Hey it's Thanksgiving in America. Here are some of the things that I am thankful for :^) . Health, the newly acquired skill of soldering pipes (which means flushing terlets n stuff), and SSH!!!

SSH 6 ~65 days. Coming down soon.

SSH 4 ~65 days. Coming down soon, too.

Love turkey @ 47cents/lb. Cooked a 12lb bird last wk, and got a 20lb on thaw. :D

I sampled that hotchix bagseed, and eh... VERY lil smell, have to grind it up good to get a musky/fruity. High was similar to a Shit pulled early. Like a light hybrid. Smell of smoke in the room was actually a lil schwaggy. High was up and clear, but kinda weak. Plant yielded ok, but not like it looked, prolly ~35-40g. Smoked some of the Beast, and oh baby, SSHybrid... Not much for smell or taste w/o a cure, but gives that 'face-rushing-while-you-look-at-the-bowl-after-a-hit' like bubble or SSH... Yielded ~20-25g, but took up a lot of space.

Between the cookies and the turkey, I'll be in and out of consciousness all day...
