Whole lotta grow..nnnrrrr... Want a whole lotta grow...

STML says, hi everybody,

This is my first grow. A little bit about me before i go further. Recreational drug user for 33 years. But now i need kind bud because of the stupid abuse of alkehaul. 50 mph into a double telephone with officer Dick hot on my tail left me, luckily still alive, but with 4 compressed vertebra and one floating rib. <---Kids dont try this at home very stupid and you will go to jail, unless your best friend knows the county prosecuter. Officer Dick was none to pleased.

Another time on alkehaul Tried to grab on to something when i felt headrush coming, was unsuccessfull. chin met asphalt at full speed. Broke jaw in two places. now have two pins about even with earlobes.Was lucky that a san diego football player had got hurt and at the same time i was at hospital he was having surgery done by a highly sought after broken bone specialist . After he worked on the football player he worked on me. The doc told me my injury was more challenging. He had never worked on a jaw broken in that manner.

Now i have curb my alkehaul intact to a binge about once every two months. No Driving and very little standing

I did try the vicidin route years ago but ended up consuming keith richards quanity's and bloated up just like elvis....so i stopped that.

Now i only use kind bud to ease the pain. I have been living in the south, but have moved up north...this winter is going to be a bitch! cold weather plays hell on the vertebra. i was willed a house and couldn't turn it down.

but I can't afford 400 per month, so 400 watts and sog and away i grow.

I have always been a consumer. I have made allot of other people's car payments. I have always advocated the barter system within the community. But, we do live in a capitalist society. If you want to kill a good buzz, bring in the hardcore capitalist.

Do to "buying the ticket and taking the ride" I no longer smoke purely for pleasure. I smoke for pain relief. I say to the government, I would rather ruin my lungs, then ruin my whole body with narcotics. Give me a legal choice for pain manegment . When i violated the alkehaul laws i was punished both finacally and phyiscally. I have always violated the governments laws on weed. I always will! In all my years of partaking in the kind I have never been tickted or arrested.
I have always been open about my smoking and have always advocated total legalization for those above 21, lower concentration of thc for those 18-20. THEN EDUCATE, EDUCATE, EDUCATE, THE YOUNG NOT TO SMOKE!

enough politics of the kind...there will be more to come....lets go back to where it began...the social aspects and ramifcations.

My first "toke" may 1975, which put at the end of my 4th year in school. By winter of my seventh grade i was already a member of the High school pot smoking brigade. from 1975 to 1981, solo and in combination i par took in smoking between 8.5 to 10lbs of cannabis. not good for a growing mind. This is not an exaggeration. The people in our school were heavy pot smokers. It was a factory town, at most times quailty weed was the norm.

the first day of jr. high school i took the early bus to the high school to smoke weed in the bathroom. Then after smoking a few, i would walk over to the jr. high. Took the bus driver 2 years to figure out i was not in high school.

For 5 years at are High school you could smoke weed in the front bathroom. I missed very few days until the 5th year. When you walk up to the front entrance it is a sixty's style architecture, with an all glass front. As you walked into the front lobby, directly in front of you is a trophy case, to the right of the trophy case is the glass door leading into the cafeteria. as you go through the door directly to your right is the boy's bathroom. The east sun in the morning would light up the bathroom door. It was a surreal sight as you strolled into school and in the haze of the morning light, there's pot smoke billowing out the door, glistening in the air.

In and out every morning there would be anywhere from 15 to 60 people. lunch time would drop to 5 to 20 depending on the period. the last break 10 to 30. Throughout the day you could almost always find someone in the bathroom if not in the front, the girls bathroom in the back was always a good place to hang. It took the girls longer to stop the women teachers coming in. The boys back room was mainly cig smoking.


more later gotta work.

yeah i know this is listed in the grow journal, but all talk about just plants gets boring. i will mix it up I want to learn how to grow quailty pain meds for myself.


as i learn i do have to say this to my new teachers out there...you might have to explain it to me a few times...sometimes i ferget.....still don't know why that happens?





peace,

STML

well im glad you stopped drinking.

hey man take it easy why dont you try a nice autoflower variety, seed to harvest less than two and a half months getcha goin quik!

yeah i will look into auto flowering. thanks for info didnt read about af yet.


here are more pictures that didn't load up when i edited my piece. i guess yer just supposed to write new script instead of editing original thread. new to these boards i'll figure it out eventually.

trying to up load pics keep losing connection


plants are rebounding under floro's. more later

peace,

did some trimming and apologized while sniping.

These plants are still trying. they would be all right if i would just leave them alone for a few days. the seeds are a practice run of some mid grade that had a decent high. I started 9 seeds in paper towel. the little bastards sprouted quick. the third morning when i put in to peat pots the sprouts were 1-1/2 inch long. i over watered to begin with and then put into lights to quick and to close.
With the mh light, on for 18 hours, the room temperature fluctuated between 78-87 with 20 minute exhaust cycle every 1hr 45m (that should be cut in half as soon as i have a fan?) The night temp was around 70. humidity was constant 60%

I exhaust into the attic which has two end vents and four roof vents all charcoal filtered. wouldn't really matter. the neighborhood i moved into, within a 10 square block radius there are numerous street dealers, women pro's, and for nightly entertainment, murder, death, kill, excitement. cops here really don't get paid enough.
two street dealers on my block. from what my neighbors say they have been operating for 2 years. everybody mow's their lawn, lets their dog's bark and minds their own bidness. no violent crime on our block.












and stumpy bringing up the rear




any constructive comments welcome



peace,

Yo STML, nice journal brother. I'm glad see that your girls are doing better. I replanted mine thurs and one died but the other thrived and grew like a MoFo over the weekend. Nice set-up by the way... it seems that you have the perfect location, crib, and materials to grow some extreme DANKNESS! Keep up the good work and learn that shit so you can smoke that shit...

BTW- I'm also doing my first grow on some mids (beasters but same shit really) but with 42watt CFL's... ima keep tabs an lets see how this shit plays out. be easy,
peace

you have everything you need.. great job.. i see perfect trees coming from that room.. good luck and keep us updated

thanks people.
OK, so i changed from mg-peat moss/ mg-perlite to 50% peat moss and 50%worm castings with a couple of handfuls of lava rock. I also let the plants go a few days under flors, then i transplanted into to worm/peat/rock mix. i also watered with tigerbloom/1 tsp-a gallon. i am using high tech co2 delivery system /dry ice in a minnow bucket with holes in it, about 1 lb for every 12 hours. i am hoping i have the 400 wt high enough not to burn the plants. they are 4' above, i think that should be high enough.

my baby's are still suffering from my stoopidity, but, i think they will survive. I have them on a 24hr light schedule and classical music. I walk in every hour and apologize to them for all the stress i have created for them. stumpy is tryin to grow...yeah gotta give luv to the under achievers.











I am now venting every other 15 min. watching temps to see where i can make adjustments.


peace,

So far i have named this neighborhood stray cat. "Small Head" or "Head" what would you name him?

big balls...to obvious! anyway i'm going to have them chopped, unless someone claims him. the neighbors say he has been a stray for over 2 months.






peace,

To all a good night! Here's the end of a good day.

more later

Yo stml, what up? glad to hear yours are doing well too. mine have come around and are starting off nicely, except for my lower growth problems... still haven't quite fixed that but working on it.

been busy with work and other thangs. Will get back to talking about the school later. It's funny i would never go to a school reunion, but for some reason for the last two months i have thought about what went on during my tenure their. the brain, what a strange beast. weather here a night drops below 50. my back is killing me and no money, means no smoke and lots of pain. grow baby grow.


here is the latest pictures. 1st 7 pcs are plants then 2 side views. am water with 2 tbls fox farm tiger bloom. cant afford anything else.

had to kill 1 stumpy, second stumpy is coming alive.

Questions i am pondering.
When should i pre flower to check sex? plants are 30 days old, but i stunted them at beginning because of newbie mistakes.

i am getting ready in a few days to top. What do you think?

Does all weed at this stage smell skunky or did i get lucky with this local bag?

Why doesn't Buckethead play with a band? pre-recorded drummer and bass , how lame!
