i'm just glad there are some people here still older than me ;) Pretty much everyone I've met in person from RIU is younger.

What up RDR. I been checking out some of your past work and there's no doubt you're the man so if you don't mind I'd like to bounce a couple questions off you. The first question is how do you dictate your veg time. Do you veg everything about the same amount of weeks or does it depend on the genetics? Do you transplant a lot or just transplant to their finishing pots? The info in Ed's Handbook is very useful but the chemistry talk is confusing as fuck. Thx in advance and my apologies if I missed my answers in an earlier thread.

Gotta disagree some... I have met a couple of cool people... not really interested in meeting more due to the potential risk... only one person from RIU that I met ended up being a turd.. but it only takes one, doesn't it? :) If I had not met anyone from here for example, my apollo clone would not be alive and have made it back to me :) Also if I had not met anyone from here, I wouldn't have had to cut down one grow... so... yeah mixed bag :)

I still know people I met from overgrow though (one of my best customers actually)

Speaking of meeting people... any of you ever go to norml meetings?

life is risky... can't live it in fear but that doesn't mean take stupid risks either :)

It depends sometimes on strain but ave veg 30 days most strains like to do that stretch from 2nd week flower till 4thweek,i'll start flowering in these smaller pots,around 10 days give or take i'll transplant to their new home after sex determined,wen all transplanted I may continue to flower or put them back into veg another week 10 days I guess,,i like to cut the rootball out from the corners scissors not the core or tap root messed with,i have a nute mixture with a good carb to speed up root growth and never stall the plant..room is a factor here but if I had a warehouse going on i'd still do it the same way...I like to start flowering around 12 to 18 inches height on the plant .Thank you for droppin in.rdr.

the only reason I had to quit school in the 10th grade had to take care of myself at 15 and had to sleep and eat at places I wouldn't even discuss .unexpected pregnancy I guess,lol..I jus started getting kinda close to my dad 13 yrs ago. but never was like a normal family by far.. but I am a hard worker,determined, and if I say it i'll do it.rdr.

Had to work and go to school,jsut to survive.Did have my own apartment, 1 bedroomm, that me and a guy split.
He slept on the couch cause I paid more money and I had a bed.
Worked from 7pm to 7am ,then half a day of H.S. Stocker at Tom Thumb.

well since we are giving our stories I guess I will add mine. My child hood was pretty normal. Mom and dad were hard workers and instilled that in me. They were always there for me even though I was a punk kid always getting into some kind of trouble.Dumb punk stuff, never anything serious. I got my first job as a dish washer at 14. Have always had a job since. I have worked for myself since 2000. On the other hand, work ethic must have skipped my brother, that fucker never has a job. When he does he always finds a reason to quit..ERRRRR
