Went a little high and tight bending that tall one back. It actually buckled and looks like one of those fancy pinch/bends some people do. Hopefully it works out and doesn't cut off flow. Ill get a pic of it today. As of yesterday the top part was turned up looking at the sun. Hopefully its not drooping today.

A couple shots of that bend gone wrong. Looks like it will be fine. I just went up near the top and pulled down too hard. still a little too hollow. Also did a bunch of trimming on the lower branches on everything @ home. which is something I never really did in the past. Things will be hitting full flower mode soon. :lol:

Went out for a feed. Getting real big. Still not 100% sure on that big one front and center, and one other is looking like a possible male too. But the other 3 I can see pistils. Still fed with TB+GB, the maxsea is on the way.

And the only plants I have that are getting yellow leaves on the bottom are the potted ones(at home). Looks like N def. but Im pretty sure its just from being rootbound. (its getting to the point where I have to water every other day with those)

Basicly just some good bagsed. I belive the original seeds I got from a pals hermie indoor project. I cant remember exactly what strains he had, and if they were even legit.

But 95% of the seeds I planted this year are from the monster male I had 2 years ago ( seed was not from my buddy), I chopped it down pretty late because it looked thick like a female, left it on the ground, so it pollenated all the the plants at that area (accidentally). These seeds are that father and a small mother. Don't even think I had a chance to test mama because it was all seed. The seeds looked white but I think they were fully mature.

I also had 2 seeds from last year (cant remember wich plant) I belive they made it out to the jungle with my fist batch, but might be at home too lol, obviosly I didn't keep track of which is which....But I ordered those seeds from herbies for next year, so I will be keeping track for sure.

Shout out to my main man robin Williams. Usually a celeb death doesn't mean a thing to me, but this dude was in some good movies when I was growing up. Hook, Jumanji, and mrs doubtfire were 3 of my favorite. and his standup. He made a bunch of movies I never even thought of watching, but he was a funny man. Too bad he was so depressed. Gotta be really messed up in the head to kill yourself, especially having accomplished so much. could have just retired and enjoyed life.

I just had an epiphany last night, I gotta talk to elon musk. Pretty much deal with rising water levels on earth and colonizing the moon. Start by building living stations with indoor gardens under lights to keep the light schedule right. have the plants producing food and oxygen. While this is all happening be bringing tons of water to put into craters and reservoirs. use the water for the plants and drink, and perhaps over tens of thousands of years, the water in craters and extra gasses put out will create some sort of atmosphere around the moon.

This is just a stoned idea, and Im sure scientist have already thought of something similar. But it seems like a decent start, even if its just large domes to create the atmosphere in first. And Im not sure if the moon has enough gravity to keep the air there, or if solar winds would blow it away, but I think its completely doable/tryable. If you've seen Bio-dome you know what im talking about. lol

Im pretty stoned at the moment too but I have to elaborate on this a bit. The moon does not have enough mass to create enough gravity to hold any sort of atmosphere we would call breathable.
With that said, I love the idea and would be more inclined to bring it right over to Mars. Its bigger and can hold an atmosphere, but still not as much as earth. But we dont really know how much gas it can hold and how much will escape into space unless we try it.

Yea I was thinking that about the moon, And even if we colonized mars and made the domes, maybe over time the "exaust" from the many city domes would create some sort of atmosphere... send out animals to test the air every few hundred years. I got a D in chemistry in HS and I don't really know much about it. just a dreamer.

Weather on my part of the planet has been awesome. A lot of sunny days. got my bugspray. Captain jacks dead bug, and I will apply tonight or early am. Im a little worried about killing the bees, But ive been seeing leafhoppers and what looks like mite damage on my best looking one. I also want to make sure the caterpillars don't invade like they did last year. Everything is looking healthy, And my plan is Growbig and tigerbloom at home, and Maxsea in the jungle and maybe a shot of GB if they need some N. :blsmoke:

Got some shots of the home batch. Biggest potted one I have, The male, Big mama that got transplanted into the ground (raised bed) and a shot of the 3 that look more like one big plant.

I used some of that captain jacks last night. I was worried about mixing it too strong and killing the plants so I went with a little under the recommended 1tbs per quart and sprayed it on just the leaves and used what I had left around the area. This morning I read into it better and it says you can mix it up to 4x recommended and it wont do damage. Im going to wait 2 weeks then spray with 2X and make sure I get the soil better. With my small garden I can pretty much do it with a single quart.

Went out for a feeding. Finally could see if that tall one was a male, and yes it was. Also the one behind it:cry:....So now there are only 3 females out there. Two are kindof close together, but will get more sun with these 2 down. The 3rd is the one with barely any hole underneath it so im not expecting a bunch of weight from that one. Fed with the bloom maxsea for the 1st time and used 1 gal of veg( the free sample).

Shot of the big male before chop, then after, partial shot of the 2 big girls, and a shot of the area. I guess ill take the extra sun and be happy with that. And I made sure not to leave the males nearby to release pollen.(made that mistake before)

Hey sorry to hear about the abundance of balls in your garden. Good luck with the rest of your grow, you got some monsters up in there.

Thanks derr, at least I got the 3 girls out there, and handful more at home. wont be getting as much as last year but I should get a decent amount if all goes well...
Im starting to wonder what to do with the male at home. I don't want to wait too long to pull out, but ive got nowhere to put it until I collect the pollen. I think once I see the first sign of one starting to open ill just chop the branches and stick them in a Tupperware container and let them dry out and drop the pollen in there. I'm thinking pollenate a single bud on the best females paintbrush style.

Found a dead tomato worm with eggs all over it. I thought it was the way the lifecycle works so I just burned it all. I looked it up afterwards and it looks to me like it was a parasitic wasp. wich I guess would be a good thing to have around if it kills the worms. I need to start looking things up before I do it.
