BC is awesome, only been to Whistler/Blackcomb once, The skiing was some of the best I'v had. Unfortunately, Canadian customs held me for 5hrs after landing,( pot bust in 75' ,a roach in my ashtray) so I'm "undesirable" in Canada, but after paying a "Ministers Permit" (bribe) I was let in......
I don't remember the exact amount, either $300 or $500, all my food/spending cash....
lol... good times...
Wow, that sucks, just a cash grab for sure $#%! Similar to my youngest brother going into the US, he needs a Visa now to go to see his wife's side of the family, all for a 1/4 oz. busted when he was 18. Funny thing is he's now 44 and a religious freak, kind of like a pastor in a cultish "Christian" group he's in. F'n hypocrites, the border guards are likely on all kinds of pharma meds and hung over from the night before, yet have the balls to pull this kind of stuff, when will there ever be some common sense applied to all this shit $#%!

funny, I had been sober/drug free for about 10yrs when this happened,I told them I was only there for 10 days to ski, not enough time to rape & pillage the country !!!
I was pissed until I got on snow, then it all went away.

Id like to go back but I don't need the hassle

I feel like I need to give them my life story every time I cross into Canada now. It's horrible. I haven't been for a couple years but fuck it's gotten bad. I remember when you used to be able to use just your license. Ya used to run lots of bud from BC lol. Back in the day that shit was gold!

Yeah, those good'ol days have been gone for a while, 9/11 changed a lot of things on both sides of the border. I used to cross at Windsor and Buffalo with my license, now it's a passport, and half the time they pull you over and check the car. Crossing at an airport into the US is the worst for me, do it at least a couple of times/month, even with a Nexus pass it's a hassle, you're guilty until proven innocent :(

Camshot of the op last night. Potted the first 2x THC Bomb clones, will be up-potting all existing clones to 1Gal's over the next few days. They'll all go into 1Gal's, the best will be carried on to veg, the balance will go into the tent in about 1 1/2 weeks with the smaller 2x DIY veg plants in the cabinet. Will build a platform to even out the canopy in there and hopefully fill it with about 2x 2Gal DIY's and 4-5 clones in 1Gal pots. Kind of a small 2x2 SOG. Have to double-check the 2 smaller DIY seedlings, one is definitely fem, the other is still not showing pistils, could be male, will be checking it again before going into flowering, don't think I'd collect pollen from this one as it wasn't the nicest pheno, if it turns out male I'll just cull it.

Those Harlequin's in the tent (bottom-right) are looking ripe, the 2x phenos I'll keep going seem to be well ahead of the other 2 in maturity, not a bad thing, will be keeping a close eye on them over the next week to decide when to finish them, not long for those 2.

The veg cabinet is bursting at the seams, nowhere for them to go but up now :) They've all been FIM'd twice, all super-cropped and LST'd from the beginning. All are developing a bunch of colas and should produce well. 1 1/2 weeks and 2 of them should go to the tent, that'll give the others another 1-2 weeks with some elbow room before flowering. Depending on the size in about 10 days, I may leave them in the 3Gal pots to see what I can push those 3Gal pots to yield. If they're looking too big I'll up-pot them to 5Gal about a week before flowering to let them establish before flipping them.

Flower room is smelling dank! A mix of 4 strains in the smaller 3x3 and 2 more in the larger one is smelling like a pot perfume factory when I open the door :) Smaller 3x3 at the front hit Day 35 yesterday, the taller 3x3 is Day 24. The shortest flowering time is the Super Skunk (front-left) which has 8 colas but the buds/colas are tiny in comparison to any of the other strains in there, unless it explodes in the next week doubt that thing will produce even 1 zip, won't be carrying that one on. They say ~49 days but I don't see that one going much more than 45 or so the way it's looking. Some fading showing up, buds are looking mature, nice smell but nothing special. The rest in the shorter 3x3 should all be around 55 days so about 3 weeks to go. The second 3x3 should be 4 1/2 weeks or right around mid-Jan. Looks like Xmas to mid-Jan should be busy harvesting this very full 3x6 mix of strains and plant sizes :bigjoint:

Well that was fun, sunny day right around freezing mark, a little slow/wet towards the end but got a few good runs in. Always forget about the side attractions that keep me going back, a few friendly ladies hanging on the hills today ;)

A closer look at the veg/clones last night. Clones are filling that little cabinet, a couple of weeks or less and I'll have the tent and veg cabinet available to start moving some around. Have been cloning in stages to offset the batches a few rounds out, still have some monster-crop (MC) clones of the Blue Pyramid and Blue Dream in the cloner, they take a bit longer to root. After seeing the first indoor full-size plant, a JTR in the flower room, I want to see how these 2 phenos behave when cloned from a flowering plant. The JTR MC clone in the flower room (3Gal in the first batch) has 4 colas that look like they'll produce twice a normal JTR cola, bud structure, density and thickness of the colas is unreal.
Clone/Seedling Cabinet. 2x THC Bombs up-potted to 1Gal already in the corner:

Veg cabinet has nothing but vertical space available, wall-to-wall plants now. There are 2x smaller DIY seedlings in this veg round that I was thinking of just throwing in the tent to flower out. One is definitely fem and the other I think is, just have to capture some better pics but by eye I can see some pistils so pretty sure it's a fem as well. These weren't good phenos, definitely not keepers but since I kept training them, they've developed into decent plants. Another 2 weeks and they'll be potential 2.5-3 zip plants. If I can confirm that second one to be fem I'll probably just flower all of these out in the main flower room. 4 of them in one 3x3, 3 in another as the current runs finish in the flower room. May even be able to get them all into 5Gal as the tent should be available in 8-10 days, I can hold one round in there for a couple of weeks @18/6, up-pot them all to 5Gal's. We'll see, never set in stone with so little space available in veg and a potential male but it always seems to work out. if that last DIY reg seed is female, that would be 4 out of 4 fems.

Finally, getting some seeds going today. I want a male JTR x Blueberry and PPP x Blueberry. Germinating a few of each right now, just finished planting the first batch of PPP x Blueberry, they were ready in 72 hours. Tried this method (paper towel in a baggy) I've seen a couple of folks here using this, liking it so far, allows you to see what's developing without having to open anything and maintains the moisture so not having to wet them daily. I stacked a couple of baggies on a plate and germ rate seems about the same as anything else I've tried, not a bad method.

Closer look at the developing buds in the main flower room and 2x2 tent. Flower room is smelling like heaven with all these strains throwing out buds/resin :)

Harlequin's in the tent, Day 47 last night. About a week max for the keeper phenos, looking like they'll finish earlier than the other 2 but they're not far behind either. Nice frosty strain, easy grow, smell on pheno #2 is incredible, pheno #1 has reduced the fuel smell and increased the tropical fruit smell so it looks like a keeper too, it has the best plant structure for production. The other 2 were the tall/lanky phenos and have a gas/fuel spilled on the tent floor smell (not a big fan when it's that strong). If you're thinking of trying this strain I'd recommend to grow out a few seeds to find a keeper in plant structure and smell. next seed order I'll be buying a few more of these looking for a nice male pheno and make some of these seeds.

Some sample bud pics from the flower room, in the following order left-to-right:
Blue Pyramid @ Day25 (nice subtle Blueberry smell)
Blue Dream @ Day 25 (strong spicy Blueberry candy smell)
THC Bomb @ Day 36 (strong earthy/skunky smell, slight underlying fruit smell, 2x almost identical phenos)
Super Skunk @ Day 36 (subtle skunk/earthy smell, tiny buds/colas, either a crap pheno or strain trait?)

Lights off, IR camshot. Day 38 for the first 3x3, Day 27 for the second. You can see and pick-out the cola/bud development difference, like a line between the 5 1/2 week vs 4 week plants. Lots of time for both to fill in and fatten up :D

These are the 2 smaller/extra DIY seeds. Still trying to 100% sex this PPP x BB DIY seedling, looks like there may be some pistils starting to show in the second pic. The JTR x BB is definitely fem. They're not looking bad, may end up flowering them in the main flower room instead of the tent if they're both fems.

JTR x BB, definitely fem:

Looks like a female to me bro. Looks like you got some nice ladies there bro. Cant wait to see the end results
Hey James thanks for popping in and the input. Agree, looks like it's just taking a long time to show but that second pic looks promising. Hoping that's the case, I'd be on a lucky roll, 4 of 4 reg harlequin's and 4 of 4 DIY reg seeds turning out to be fems :)
Cheers...

Update on the Harlequin's, one pheno is done imo. Out of the two keeper phenos I took clones, the #2 is done at 49 days/7 weeks. Keep in mind I had it at 14/10 for a week before the flip to 12/12. Nice, this is the one that has the tropical fruit smell with an underlying fuel smell, it has the best plant structure and will likely pull the most weight of the 4. Pheno #1 the other keeper is just behind it, will be keeping a close eye on it. This is the one that smells like a typical fruit smoothie. The other 2 can go another week. I'll pull this one tomorrow night when I have to water the others. Buds on all of them are solid, all are sagging, looks like a nice find, can' wait to sample it :bigjoint:

Pheno #2, good to go Day 49:

Pheno #1, still some maturing to do:
