kp's haphazzard grow log/lounge/lecture/study

hmmm, they've been in the dark for more than 36 hours now, i think i'll just go ahead with the harvest.

i spent alot of time reflecting today, and i realy am better... still sad, but maybe some good can still come from it. we burried rusty; i chose a spot that i'd go and watch the sun set or just stare at the waterfall and think. i used to walk him there when i was hurt or brooding, and decided to make it his memorial.

give me a minute....

ok, as i don't have equipement to continue the perpetual, (which i was worried about room anyway) i'm considering some reconstruction. don't know when i'll be able to afford lights, so i'll be spending the next few weeks thinking out a new flowerbox, and possibly a veg cabinet... i saw this beautiful antique cabinet today, and its quite affordable.

my moms and clones survived... well, i lost some clones, but for the most part they pulled through. so maybe i'll veg them out some and choose the best two or three for breeding. the seed room is under mh so i still have that...

well, i'm going to check out the latest...

love, kp:p

damn i want some nice seeds haha keep it goin lets see what u yield, how much longer?

well, i'm taking a smoke break from cutting, trimming and hanging. i didn't take pix of the infested plants, but i will of the perdy ones... it's too bad about the hybrid. that one was becoming a monster...

Oh KP, I am so sorry to hear all of this stuff. You don't even know. And that ballast, feel really bad.
I hope that you are OK inside, I really feel for you.
I don't want to drop allot of words on you because I know that they don't always help, but just know that I am a partner and will always try to do what I can for you.
I would just use the 400's for flower, many old school growers still go the whole grow with them. An old friend used to do a grow with about 4 of them and still did good and did it for years.
Well, will try to have my grow's up by morning for you to take a look at. Wish I could
do something more for you little lady.
Adieu

hi bear... don't feel bad for me, we all just gotta keep on keepin on... sure, i'm sad right now, but i'll be better, and a better person for it. as for the op, i think i'm going to concentrate on breeding only for now, get a good bean stock. i'm also looking into red mh bulbs (3000k) i don't know where to get them or if they work well, but i'll be looking into it.

i'm harvesting over the next two days, got two blueberrys in the dry box. plenty of beans there too, from the attempt at controlled pollenation.

sorry i've not been able to send anything out yet bear, but i'm waiting unit i've got a variety for you...

hope you're doing well, i know that you'll probably be out alot for the holidays. be safe:)

cj, sorry for not answering you earlier; it would seem the ballast developed a short. i've seen that happen before on a smaller version that we had hanging on the garage. lots of smoke and thats it.

hope your girls are pregnant;)

love to all, and to all, a good nite

Oh no KP I'm so sorry to hear about your dog.
That setup was really neat! And the plants look like you've been getting good yields off them.
