Hey those plants look awesome man.
Good job keeping the good vibes going even tho u had something terrible happen to u.
By the sound of the iq level of the criminals i would say dont give up hope on ur watch homie.
Call around all your local pawn shops and check kijiji in ur hood.
I found a car that was stolen for me 15 yrs ago.
My brother found his laptop and watch on kijiji.

Thanks man! I've basically gave up on getting my shit back. I just cut my losses and moved on to something new. Luckily I had a second laptop that they didn't take, so I can still get on the net and shit. I don't have the serial numbers written down, so I would think it would be hard to identify my electronics that got stolen. I still appreciate the advice buddy!

Update: Day 37 of 12/12

The Whole Grow

SnowcapLA

Bay-11

Grape Puff

Very nice grow..i am going to do the bay 11 outdoors next year...seeing yours made me want to pop the Bay next year...

i grew the snowcap outdoors last year..was crazy...grew like a monster..buds were rock solid and sugered beyond belief...and smelled like fruity pop tarts...was so sticky....it loved compost teas...you could see bud growth daily...and it never molded on me outdoors...I think spraying them with silica the last 3 weeks kept the mold at bay...enjoy your fruits of labor..they look great...super grow for indoors

Well, they are looking pretty damn good except for all of the seeds that are going to be in all of my buds. Oh well, the smoke will be much better than nothing. I am so happy with my pheno of the Wifi. That damn thing has trichs covering the fan leaves and all of the way down the stem. I am really looking forward to smoking on that You can actually see what I am talking about in the pics above. I am starting to get some yellowing on a couple of plants. It's not really that big of a deal now that I am this far along in flower. The smells are getting much more complex and pronounced. There are some really tastey smelling strains in my lineup this run for sure. It is definitely starting to stink up the house. The Bay-11 still looks quite a bit further along than everything else. Although a couple other strains have started the pistil color change as well. Stay tuned for more pics!

Thanks for the praise! The Bay-11 smells amazing to me! It reminds me of Fruity Pebble's cereal. It did hermie on me, but I contribute that to a light leak. It sucks but it is what it is. The Snowcap's buds are super dense. It is like they could be used as a weapon they are so damn hard already. I find the smell on her kind of hard to describe. It does smell good though. I have to admit that I really wouldn't really want to grow her outside with such dense buds because of mold, but I am sure there are preventative measures that could be taken to lessen the chances of mold.

i did well with the snowcap outside with no mold..one very little spot...i have a fan house outside (rain proof) with a fan blowing on the outside plants..its a huge fan..lol....it keeps the dew down and dries the rain also AFTER it stops....greenhouse the same way...4 fans...

I have battled the mold many times till I sorta perfected my routine and air circulation...last year hardly any mold to speak of..was so happy....I also use a leaf blower first thing in the morn to get all water off them....I also grew Chem dog and blue dream last year and no mold and they mold magnets...I start using Actinovite as soon as buds seem to be rot prone...works so far....

A fricking leaf blower hay! That is quite funny when I try to visualize it. Lol! I imagine that it blows the water right off of them bitches! I wish I could grow some monster plants outside in my back yard or a greenhouse. Actually I would rather have the greenhouse. I bet that is just great to have to grow cannabis in. I tried growing outside last year at a friend's house, but I kind of got ripped off. I still managed to get a 1/4 lb out of the deal though, so it wasn't a complete loss. I had a real problem with bud worms eating through everything. Them little bastards are some gluttonous pricks.

I have been eyeballing the Attitude promo this month. Those 4 Cali Connection strains look really good to me. I sent in some extra money on my credit card. I am hoping that it gets there and the check clears before the promo is up, so I can put an order in. I've got my fingers crossed. Lol!

I got GC from my dispensory in jrz i grew ogr's white fire
you are gona be one happy camper
very soon NJOY

I get up early and jut blow off the plants...the greenhouse is good..but they get very unmanageble at times...as you can see in my profile pic....I need one 40 feet long and 24 wide to do what i would like to do...

and yes the bud worms suck bad...once thery shit on your buds you know rot is coming...I hate spraying any chemical on the plants..but i have to spray Bt ..3 years ago had worms bad..I threw out over 3 Lbs of rotted bud..on my outside grow I have a few bird feeders around it..they do patrol the plants and eat bugs off them..yesterday I was sitting out back vaping and seen 2 humming birds hitting the buds...lol...there is nothing there for them..I just think they were attracted to the smell...but it sucks I have to inspect every day for bud worms...i look for damage...on the outdoor plants i have to use a step ladder..thats scary...to wobbly ...

you got a nice grow going on now..congrats...looking great....thi year i am playing with some Harpin protein on some plants..looking good so far...rapid bud production...and big for 3 weeks flower...i will try to get some pics...

I was wondering where you had been hiding at? I haven't seen you around these parts for a while. I took a little hiatus myself after the break in. Lol! Anyways it is good to here your thoughts on those strains. I am curious to here more about the Amherst Sour D, since I haven't really heard to much about it. My ASD just sprouted in a solo cup today. The Sour D #2 sprouted a couple of days ago. I gave a Sour D #2 to my buddy to grow about a year ago, and I loved it. It is the best Sour D that I have seen from seed myself. It was more sour than diesel but it had that knock out stone that hits you instantly. It was a very nice looking, smelling, and tasting plant. The Amherst Sour D that I ran last time got stolen before I really had a chance to start seeing what she was about. The plant was pretty big with sturdy branches and big ass colas with a descent amount of trichs on her. The smell just hadn't started to come out by the time I got ripped, so I was just wondering how close the smell is compared to the classic Sour Diesel?

I ran RP's Sour Kush Aka Headband without any luck. I only ran the 1 single seed that I paid over $20 for. It looked great but it just didn't have much of a smell or taste to her. I personally think the stinkier the better, and I like a really strong tasting herb. The Sour Kush was just bland. Maybe it was just a shitty pheno. I haven't tried running anything from Bomb seeds. Although I have heard some good things about their genetics. I actually have a few Dinafem strains in the seed vault, but they really aren't of much interest to me right now. I was actually supposed to get the Dinachem as a frebie with an Attitude order last winter, but that order got snatched by Custom's so I never actually got it. I probably would have ran the Dinachem though. I really like Chemdog strains.

I have seen a few good reports on HSO's Purple Trainwreck. I heard that it smells and tastes like grape koolaide. It sound's pretty good actually. Personally, I have absolutely no experience with the Trainwreck strain what so ever. I have never seen any in person or even smoked any, and I certainly haven't grown it either. I just know what I have read here on the internet. Can you give me a little more detailed description on the smell oh
your Trainwreck?

I've been looking at HSO's newer strains that had just come out. They are looking really nice as usual. The Dedoverde Haze is definitely something a little different compared to alot of the strains that I usually run. Then there is there 707 Headband and Lemon Kush Headband that just look gorgeous in their pics with there maroon and purple flowers. They got a Master Kush and Ewo-2 also. I can't say that I know much about those 2 though. I really like HSO genetics. They have been consistently good for me. Anyways I am glad to see you back around here man!

Yeah i dont frequent as much as i used to, super busy these days but i can agree with you on hso so far the only one i didnt like was blue dream which was sad because it was an insane yeilder but the high and smell i got was sub par at best. It sucked because i yeilded almost 7 ounces off a single small plant that was in a 3x3 tent with about 4 others which would have been great if i liked the smoke lol. the trainwreck is a strange smell lol its a open brancher and quite frosty, smell is strong while growing its quite hard to put a finger on it, my wife thinks it smells like black cherry liccorice lol just a candy smell in general and very frosty. I didnt scale a final yeild yet but im not dissappointed in it. Green crack was a little dissapointing in yeild but it rocked my socks in smell taste and appearance. It was a stretchy plant in my space but im Gonna run it under scrog next time to see if i can improve yeilds. The amhurst sour d was very stretchy and i wish i would have topped it more, it was burned once about halfway in flower when the duct came off my 1000w in a sealed space creating an oven which burned a couple of my center plants pretty bad it came back as best it could and i got some really nice flowers but not what i would call full potential so im running it again along with the others. The smell is nice, not very diesel though. my wife thinks it smells like sour grape, its not really the original that i liked so much but still nice. The flavor with no cure is quite piney but nice. Im hoping a cure will bring it out. I want to pop lost coast og and desert diesel when i can clear out some of the other strains and make room. I too have heard and seen good things on the purple trainwreck but it was sold out on my last seed order. Im currently tinkering with my new grow space and this last run showed some kinks still need to be worked out. Its a 3x6 flowering room that was gonna have 2 air cooled hoods with 600w each but i couldnt pick up 2 ballasts at the time and bought the sunpulse 1000w splitter to try out instead and it didnt work like i had planned so my 1000w had t. Cover a 3x6 area and even after rotating plants some of them still suffered on the outside with not as much coverage as i like. Needless to say im either gonna hang my other hood and buy 2 600 ballasts or put the 1000w on a light rail. That and i had some heat problems in the new space i wasnt anticipating that im still fighting thanks to our summer. So by next summer im either gonna have a ac unit for it or supplement co2 because the temps are in the perfect co2 range. Just more crap to buy lol. Ive been checking in from time to time i just hadnt seen your posts since the break in, which i never heard about any equipment for sale around my neck of the woods. But its good to see things are going well for ya, hope you have a great harvest to make up for the bullshit

I hadn't been on here, since my shit got stolen. It took me a while to get some new equipment, and to get shit started again. I am super glad that I did now. I was considering not even doing it again, because I was so nervous about my house getting broke into again. I know if it does happen again, I will have to retire from this wonderful hobby. Anyways you might want to consider running your plants at night in the summer like I do. It helps out tremendously with the heat. There is no way that I could run my 600w the way that I have it during the summer months. I don't have an inline fan, and I don't have an exhaust on my system either. I just have a floor fan pointing at the light to keep the heat off of the tops of the plants. It works for me for the most part. I still get some crispy plants by the end of flowering though. At least the plants that are a little more heat sensitive.

I have heard great things about the Desert Diesel and the Lost Coast OG. I haven't ran either of them yet though. Imo every strain I have ran from them has been at least slightly above average in quality. Their beans are pretty damn consistent. Much more so than most other breeder's that I have used in the past. I have had some higher quality strains from some other breeder's, but it was kind of a hit and miss with each seed. I guess that is the trade off. I am just loving the OG Raskal White Fire. This is one of my favorite strain's that I have grown. It is straight fire! The Wifi that I have going now is from a bag seed from the killer pheno I grew out a while back. The smell is straight fuel with a skunky undertone. There is just a touch of lemon mixed in there as well. This shit is just greasy with trichs. Plus it is just the most photogenic strain that I have ever grown. The leaves are dark green and it makes the trichs just stand out that much more. It is by far the best OG that I have messed with. Plus, the killer pheno that I grew out the first time yielded around 2 1/2 ozs. of primo buds under a 400w. I thought that was really good for an OG.

I got my Attitude order in this morning! I decided to buy 2 Female Seeds ICE, 1 Devil's Harvest Shoreline, and 1 Connoisseur Genetics Super Silver Sour Diesel Haze. I got the regular freebie's which means I get 2 TH Seeds Sage n Sour and 2 TH Seeds The HOG. I also qualified for the CC freebie's as well. Those 4 strains were the only reason that I even put in this order to begin with. I am really looking forward to trying out the Louis 13th. At least I am going to have some new strains to try out.

I just got the most expensive electric bill of my life yesterday. It was almost double what I normally get. It was like $430 when my bills are usually around the $200. I don't understand what the hell happened. It doesn't really make any sense to me, since I haven't been doing anything different than I normally do. I really do hate unexpected shit like this!

Update: Day 46 of 12/12

Everything is moving along very nicely. I am starting to get really anxious for harvest. It has been such a long time, since I have had one because of that unfortunate incident that I had a while back. Anyways the SnowcapLA has tuned out to be an amazing looking plant. The buds are just as dense as can be, and they already have that finished look to them. The buds are really frosty with trichomes in every little nook and cranny. This plant stretched quite a bit more than I had expected but it looks very indica in stature. The leaves stayed a dark color and some of them were huge. I mean they were some of the biggest leaves I have even seen on a cannabis plant. As far as the smell goes, I find it hard for me to explain. I would say that it reminds me of a musty, creamy, fruity smell. The smell is not very strong at all on this one. It is nice and quite different for me. This is my first experience with anything LA Con.

The Grape Puff has some huge 2 huge ass main colas that are pretty big around for how small the plant is. This particular pheno is not my favorite out of the one's that I have had previously, but it was still good. The flavor just wasn't nearly as grape as I like. Regardless it is still pretty. I think this particular pheno is leaning towards the OG JO. I just know that this pheno was a huge yielder during my last grow of it. Oh, and this particular plant is actually a week behind the rest of the plants.

The Martian Kush is the my least favorite of the bunch. The pheno I got is just a super stretchy bunk bud pheno with hardly any visible trichs at all. I mean there are plenty of trichs on the bud itself, but I can just tell that this is a shitty pheno. It reminds me a lot of the last OG #18 that I grew out that was a bunk ass pheno. The plant and bud structure are exactly the same. It hardly has any smell to it at all. Only when you squeeze the buds do you get a slight lemon smell to it and that is all. It looks like it might yield half way descent though. Lol!

The Bay-11 is a very nice looking plant. I really hope that it was my fault that she hermied on me and pollinated every plant in my garden. Oh well, I will have plenty of new crosses to try out in the future. Anyways her almost all of her pistils have changed colors and have started to recede into the bud. The smell on her seems to have dissipated compared to earlier on in flower. Normally the smell gets stronger the further along in flower they are. Her smell kind of reminded me of fruity pebbles with a little extra funk in there. I am just hoping that it carries through in the taste. I will be harvesting her first on Day 57 of 12/12. I need the smoke, because I am so fricking tired of buying my own. It is so damn expensive trying to smoke on weed that costs you $100 a quarter bag!

The Green Crack is a beautiful looking plant. Exactly what I would expect from HSO as it looks to be on the same level as all of there other gear that I have ran in the past. The buds are pretty dense and quite plentiful. I have no idea how much I will actually yield off of her, but I am thinking it should be about average. The pistils have mostly all changed to a nice bright orange color. The smell reminds me of rotten fruit. I don't really care for the smell of this pheno. I took a clone off of the GC that I grew last time before my shit was stolen, and I gave it to my buddy. His pheno smells straight up like sweet mango's. Both of these pheno's are just as frosty as can be though. I imagine that mine will be some descent smoke regardless of the fact that it doesn't smell as good as my buddies pheno. Anyways I think my Green Crack should be finished around Day 60 of 12/12.

I was saving my favorite and what I think is the best for last. That would be the White Fire OG. I think this plant is just so damn sexy! I want to just smoke the shit out of it like right now! I really cannot wait to try this girl out. The Wifi is a week behind all of the other plants just like the Grape Puff. Anyways she has the darkest green leaves with an abundance of frost on them. That frost looks like snow and diamond dust on all of the leaves surrounding the buds. The buds leave your hands greasy with resin after you touch them. The buds are quite dense but pretty damn small. This plant stretched from almost the shortest plant in the room to almost the tallest. I plan to let her go as long as possible. The dominant smell on her is fuel with a slight undertones of lemon and skunk. I didn't top and train this plant like I normally would, so I don't expect to get a great yield from this one.
