I went out and took a few pic's and posted them to my log. Maybe you can take a peek:cool:

Im all outta the funk, that was a crazy feeling bro, but thanks for the ear:thumbsup:

I took a look at your girls and gotta say, they look great. I know the feeling you describe. You just want to scream. Half of you is; Oh fuck, I DID THIS! and the other half is OH FUCK! I did this. It is good to see your log updated.

You're intitled to the funk, it is natural place to go. Just don't stay there too long. If I helped... Cool:thumbsup: Anytime.

The hard rain freaked me out. Wide one is the size of a small car. All run out of one stem. If that rain can put unbudded branches on the ground, think of what it could do to a fully budded girl.

The frame is the easiest way I can think of to counteract gravity. What you can't see is the 50 lb test line that holds each branch up. With the frame I can tie up any branch directly against the natural pull of gravity. With 2 lines to a branch I can take the wind out of play. By the time I'm done I expect to have her tied to the frame in ...maybe 50 places.

Let's go hypothetical... pick a plant. You got a lb off of her. But for her to do that, the stem had to carry 4lbs of water, leaf, bud, and stem. Now add another 10lbs of water weight due to rain, and a few more from the downforce of the falling water. Then throw some wind in. All that equals buds in the mud. :(

Pic 1 tools for tieing up the plant. Where the fishing line comes into contact with the stem I sheath the fishing line in a 1/4in drip line so it doesn't bite into the stem. And thank you to whoever invented zip ties.

Ok i get ya know, i didn't see the lines tied to the cage. My NL looks like each branch will be each a giant cola. There are so many bud sites up an down all the branches. I was going to post a couple close ups cuz if this dose happen im really going to need to rig something up that isn't very visible. I thought about putting a garden hose around the middle for support, but still not sure. I was thinking the green hose would blend in anyway. I am planning on posting them in the morning, its hotter then two snakes screwing in a wool sock her, so a hooter and blast the fan to cool off. When i get hot i dont sweat, so it gets my body temp way up. Sucks, cuz it makes ya feel like shit.

Thanks man, il see ya:rasta:

Man, alot has happened since I was last here. Sucks the rain came, hope u can keep them from molding. Atleast the wide one has a little less to keep up. I don't really remember everything I read so thats all I'm gonna say so yeah, happy growing.

Busy week.

Monday it rained...Hard. Peeled some branches off the wide one and put some other branches on the ground. From Tuesday on, sunshine, like usual.

The girls bounced right back. Put together frames over 5 more regrows and fixed the wide girl....again. The rain motivated me to prepare for....more rain.
That never came. So back to the drought. If by some strange chance it pours again, the frames are built and ready to have branchs tied up to it.

Planted the substitutes. Got rid of the wastes of space. Substitute clones were taken from wide one.

Wensday was anti climatic. Green harvest flew. I saw just 2 choppers, one flew by the DEA and the other MPD. Flew all around the house but missed me totally.

Talk about class difference. The DEA chopper is a twin engine new Puma with a NOTAR tail. Whisper quiet. Guys spotting in back are sitting on plush seats. Nothing but the best for the Feds. :mad:

Contrast that to the MPD chopper. Older single engine Hughes 400, and the poor bastards are sitting on web fold out seats. Noisy as a freight train. Bummer for the Maui cops :D

Thursday at 1237 PM we had our second of two yearly Lahina Noons. This is when the sun is directly overhead. So a building casts no shadow Put simply, The sun can't get anymore direct than that. The word Lahina in Hawaiian means cruel sun.

Now some pics;

Pic 1) Cali girl, HB labeled, now a couple of week into flower. She has almost 8ft. on her. All the cali girls are starting to flower except one.

Pic 2) Bottom 3. notice the waste of space is gone and a clone is in that hole. Plant in foregroud is 7 ft tall. One in back has 5 ft. Both are framed up.

Pic 3) Bottom 2 gulch girl regrows. One just got a new frame last week. Regrow in front is 4 ft. Regrow in back is 7+

Pic 4) Wide one. After repair. Takes a lickin and keeps on tickin. She has just reached 6 ft tall. Eight by 10 ft around.

Pic 5) Big One. Now largest top is amost 10 ft tall. I will have to frame her out soon.

may you be richly rewarded for all your great work, haole! :S5:

I knew you could fix them up, but im sure it took a lot of work. They look incredible man. Id be sleeping out there now, just for the company. Ya sure know how to do it on that big ass rock your living on.

I called on Friday about another Dog, but haven't heard anything yet. I will call back in the morning, i feel like i forgot my watch or something everyday. If they wont let me have one il go to the pound.


Looks great my friend, like always:thumbsup:


SeeYa:rasta:

Those are some nice monsters you've got there. Looks like its going to be a good harvest.

A ro ha boys and girls,

Thank you Desert and Yoda. I too am looking foreward to the next few months. So far so good, but we are miles from the finish line. Stay tuned in and see what happens. One more month and the story will get good (I hope).

LSY...When I can smell them from the house I WILL be sleeping down there. Glad to hear you are about ready for another dog. I often curse (very often) my mob, but I feel naked without them following me around and causing trouble. When I go to the mainland, after a week or so I find myself looking for any random dog to scratch (sad huh?). You grow to expect them around and when they are not, you realize how much a part of your life they are.

For those of you following this seasons log, two of my holes were occupied by plants that did not live up to yield standards. These two did not grow big, they just budded. I call them my wastes of space, and it has been this seasons goal to get them out of my garden, and get something growing in their holes that might actualy give me a decent yield.

I had enough of them, and pulled them a week or so back (just before the one rain we had this year). One of them I seeded a bottom branch, so I broke out my trimming sciscors, and whacked that girl down.

Got 40 or so seeds (crossed with a same strain male) for short season. This strain does have potential, so I want to save it and mess with it in the future. Below is the life story of my smallest plant this year. Got about a ft and a half tall and yielded 52 gms dry.

Seeds from Cali and it is a skunk/thai cross. Buds were dense and heavy. I did have a bit of bud mold start on her, and that prompted me to take her. Perhaps I took her a bit early, but the buds just do not pack it on in summer here, like they do in fall.

Pic 1 & 2) plant taken was small one in foreground. Look closely, the regrow in back is about the size I wanted her to be. :(

Pic 3) closer up

Pic 4 & 5) is some of the finished product. For a July harvest, I give her an eight on a ten scale.
