Yup, he's my garden gnome. Someone left him on my front lawn one morning and I decided to make him my grow mascot.

I have this one friend who was a cop, got fired from 2 different towns for basically being a little TOO quick to get in high-speed chases, is now a security guard and military reservist, so you can just imagine he's like mister macho, and last time he was over took a big bite of one of the corne di toro peppers--- "no, it's not hot" as his face turns red--- then a minute later-- "uh, do you have any milk?" lol.

I like your setup stinky. It seems to be well organized so as to not cause confusion. Very nice and the plants look pretty good. I have heard Papaya is a pretty good strain. I'm looking forward to see how they do. I would like a smoke report as well.

Happy Toking :rasta:

Update, I'm going to fill you-all in on other aspects of my perpetual harvest projects too.

My projects last night were watering of course, checking for males of course, because those things happen daily.

I also chopped up all my accumulated dried trimmings from the past month and got them soaking in isopropanol, in glass of course, because it is nonreactive.

This morning I puttered around in the growroom, tended the seedlings, checked the progress of my clones, removed dead leaves from the cloning box and the soil in everyones' pots.

Some plants got a fresh application of diatomaceous earth.

We are supposed to have a frost tonight so I finished bringing in my garden plants. They all got sprayed off outdoors to knock off bugs, then allowed to dry on the front porch. I removed all the dead plant material on the soil surface and covered it with a perlite-rich mix and a sprinkling of D.E. Then they went into the flower room.

The papayas are doing okay, not much to report, they are stretched a bit as I expected them too as my light isn't ideal, but this always happens and I just bury them to the seed-leaves when I transplant them.

The godbud X are breaking dirt finally.

I'm also making a pot of goo hash, pics attached, it's just a homemade double-boiler with a glass top for the extract itself- easier to scrape and nonreactive of course. By the time I had to leave for work, it wasn't evaporated yet, but no biggie, I'll finish it tonight.

Pics are:
1) hash project
2) seedling area
3-5) peppers!

Sorry if you ahve already mentioned it..

just curious what the shite power is I can see on some of you plants? Is that to stop critters? from snagging goods form the leaves?

Looks awsome like usual

The 'shite powder' (I love when typos make new words that make sense in context!!!) is Diatomaceous Earth, I'm just going to call it D.E. for shortness.

It keeps my thrip problem in check. It gets out of hand fast when I stop powdering and neeming.

Mostly I just use DE on the soil surface and neem on the leaves, but the DE gets EVERYWHERE, and I use it on the leaves in late flower too when neem is out of the question.

Sometimes it gets on the lower buds but I don't care because whatever, those are the ones I pollinate and after taking seeds out they just get binned with the hash stash.

Oh and KD, here's one for you- my BOG kids are getting forced this week! I got impatient! [read: jealous!] :D

they lok sweet, how old are they? Are those the 2.7L Square pots? How many inches are those wide and tall? I have been looking for those at the stores.

Hello Mam, He takes his hat off, old fashion or something. "Word on this thread is that you had a personal relationship with a group of afghans from the Middle East. Did they still follow the customs of their home land and ware a head dressing of sticky fat hemp fabric?
How long did they spend under your roof veging out on your banquet of fine organic morsels? Did they get too tall, or stretch out much before sleeping 12 hours a night? Did they consume allot of light, 1K or 400w? How many days did they mope around for 12 hours a day basking in the rays before they were ready to make theirselves a sacrifice on the alter of the great green Goddess?"
:Finally Mam, don't mean to pry so much." Fumbles around with his hat, pokes the toe of his boot in the floor, then asks, "Were they a fat bunch of girls? Did they put on some size, how much would you reckoned those girls weighed?" Blushes and looks sheepish.
Thank you Mam for your time, I hope I haven't offended you by prying so much.
So long Adieu

The Afghan seeds were a trade from a friend for whom I built a rudimentary aero-cloner.

They vegged for 8 weeks from germ, like all my lovely hos.

Veg was under 2x40w flourescent tubes until 5 internodes, then under 1X250MH until 10" total height.

Nutes were good compost soil, beneficial fungi, fish emulsion, plus some fox farms grow big fed foliarly.

Lower-than-average stretch, and I saved a male for future breeding.

Nice wide fans, perfect Christmas tree form on the ones that didn't get topped.

The girl in the pic is 4 weeks in and has a beautiful frosting on ALL the single-blade leaves. She smells nice too.

She's doubled in height since 12/12

I haven't harvested any of the Afghan princesses yet, but I will let you know!!! They're definietly wearing sticky headpieces!!!
