You know that right! Its like trying to hit a moving target with your eyes crossed! Me? I just click on U.S. dollars in the upper right hand corner! LOL! I can't convert shit! That would be MATH! So the next time I'm confronted with a metric conversation, I'll be on here yelling, "WEEZE! HELP MEEEE!!!! ;) ;) ;) ;) ;)Quote:

Might haveta use a shotgun on moving targets. Was looking at blueberry seeds, but would like to know what they might really cost. They sure were pretty though!!
Bet Chromophore would be another 'metric converter'! Lol!
-- Ok. The reason I came over was to give you guys a hook up in cannabis history! On another forum, MNS (Mr Nice Seeds), is a guy with a beautiful outdoor grow, awesome pics, called Scrubdog. He's very much a sativa kinda guy. He likes to talk genetics & cannabis history. Very devoted to landraces & preserving their existence. If you read his grow thread from beginning to end, you'll get a mini history lesson. You'll see the different traits of different landraces & begin to dishtinguish their presence in various hybrids we have today. You'll learn to appreciate their existence & come to hope for their preservation as well. If you go over ther (& I hope you do), don't forget to also read the history of Mr Nice Seed. I think you'll be surprised by who've you've found! I know I was! My thread "Old school genetics" has a bit of history lessons inbeded in it as well, but what I intended as a discussion, aimed at us old heads teaching our history to the younguns, nearly became a heated debate! Another thing they have that would appeal to you guys is..... P.M.s!!!! Yeah! & you'll be suprised by who else you'll find over there! I'd never leave cann.com, or suggest anybody else leave either, but I have both forums, plus one based in Canada, & another that has contests I like to follow. But anybody who joins MNS will be glad they did. Other than the P.M.s, not much different than here. Just a different spot with new friends to meet! Not all forum boards are friendly! I've tried some where even the mods jump on the new kid, kinda like high school. On one of them, one of the mods told me women had no place on these forums, to go back to the kitchen where I belonged! Another mod deleted his post that were derogatory to women, sent me an apology in a pm, but I don't post there or even read posts, just go straight to the contests. Personally, THAT forum board does us no justice. If someone in the ANTI-legalization movement wanted dirt to use against us, that would be their 'go to' board. Its crude & 2/3s of it should be xxx rated. Sorry about that rant. Just wanted to point out how sweet it is to be a member of Cann.com & MNS. THIS is where the 'good people' are. :) & I'm proud to be a part of both! ;)
-- Sometimes you just want to say something that you don't want to put on the open forum & you really need PMs. But I really want you guys to check out the above mentioned; Scrubdog & the history of MNS. RANGER.... PMs? ;) ;) ;) ;) ;)
Are pms really private, just read they permanently store everything?
Do you have to be special to get in our what?
PM's are disabled for all as far as I know. The closest you can get is album comments for individuals. The comments are NOT private though, they will show in the "whats new" section.Quote:

YEA BUDDY! So glad for you on the clean bill of health! Now we have to work on your ticker & make it young again! Guess you already know about the aspirin thing. Thats the first thing they tell you. How about vit E for heart health? I'd like to see you & crystal get together in the pms at mns, include your wife & daughter in these discussions, & get you on a program of natural holistic treatments. Aspirin is a synthetic copy of willow bark, btw. Something you probably already knew. I've read many reports that say the human body is genetically programed to last 120 years. Now its up to you to go prove that to be right!!!! YEA! GO RANGER! ;)
-- We should have discussed this blueberry thing a long time ago. I'm on the same quest! While D.J. Shorts blueberry is awesome, I found evidence of the existance of two seperate landraces that are naturally blueberry in flavor! When I started the search, I was under the impression that that 'flavors' were created by selective breeding. Well anyway, one was sativa, native to somewhere near Africa I believe. But here's the kicker. One is an indica landrace, from Brazil. I had been of the opinion indica ONLY came from around Afghanistan, the hash producers! So therefore, I am intrigued by this Brazilian native blueberry indica. I really want to get my hands on it. I forgot the name of the strain & the seed co. But I WILL find it again. Thats a nack I have, finding things. Book, road map, someplace I've never been to before hundreds of miles from home.... I just find things. My truck driving ex said I'm a witch, the dispatcher at his co. said I should have his job. But I will find that strain & where to get it for you within 24 hrs, or I'm loosing my touch! Ok... its now 1:47pm..... GO! ;) ;) ;) ;) ;)
Funny thing that is a little off topic-Quote:

Love this thread Cat- thank you so much for all of the info and stories- I hope I get to meet you and some of the others one day - my partner just signed up for this forum and he loves your posts too! Just thanks for putting so much on the line to help others!
Finally found the site, let me in the store, but as our this morning still not letting me even load the forums or community.
Rats...
I think it is blocked by google Ranger- the web is getting more and more blocked and regulated- too badâ?¦Quote:

Hummm.... figure THAT one out! One thing that seems to be a for sure; the thing keeps telling me to upload photos to pc THEN log on to photobucket from there. Well I have no pc & so far, the only way I've figured out how to share pics direct from my ph is in a text message..
-- Yeah Crystal, I go off topic a lot. Guess its just part of being a ratchet jaw..... I just can't stop myself! That's why I love PMs. They keep me out of trouble! LOL!
-- Wish I could post pics. :( This mainlining is so much fun & I'm frustrated that I can't share it with you guys. Because its so time consuming, I'd never use it for every plant or every grow, but under the circumstances, its giving me the extra time I need to get get the flower cabinet in order. The need for the extra time is my own damned fault. Should never have started the seeds untill I had EVERYTHING ready. Not the first time my impatience has gotten the best of me, sure won't be the last. Keeps my brain active thinking up ways to fix my messes! LOL!
-- I've had one plant sex. Male. The one that nute burned everytime I tried to feed it. Growth pattern says I have 2 more males &4 females. But that one male.... he didn't preflower, he just exploded into full male flower. Little boy balls all over the place! Everybody is ready to preflower. I can see little bumps forming where they are just begining to grow. I need to stack 2 pair of reading glasses just to see it.
-- Crystal, I'd love to meet all you guys. Funny how we've formed our own little group, but it would be so much fun if we could plan a camping trip as a group. About a week ago while on your thread how to be an activist, I was thinking we need to plan a big bash for the entire forum on the day we finally see federal legalization. Its coming. Just hope we're all still here & kicking when it happens. Ok guys, now I'm gonna kick back & watch mns for you to come on board. Sorry about the hold up. Hope I don't get in trouble for this, but we really NEED the PMs! ;) ;) ;) ;) ;)
After bragging about how techno savey I was. Now every time i go my device locks up. Think I'm happy here. Will try later again.
Hope a least some of your problems are in the past cat, you need it. Peace to you wonder woman
But now important stuff, the male burst on you, isn't that the way it goes. But not many preflowers might be a good thing. The four ladies going to fit your grow place ok. Should give you some room. When are you going to flower, wish I could help you out with some bud, but you probably really couldn't get anything done.
It might not have been your device, it may have been their server. I just had the same issues with 2 other forums besides them (both animal rescue forums). Crystal & Weeze made it over earlier. They're both impressed with what they've found, so don't stop trying, its worth it! :)
-- Oh I'm happy here too! But the PMs is why I joined & its an interesting addition. ;)
I'll keep trying, that's one thing they say about me, he don't give up. Otherwise I'd probably be dead.
Just so it entertaining, I go for the entertainment factor now not the money!!
How about REALLY BIG PICTURES? Hahah! ;) ;) ;)
You got any? My eyes are getting bad.Quote:

Guess you could say MNS is a reconfiguration of THE SEED BANK. So its not only a forum, but a seed co with the best genetics around by the best breeders in recent history! When you get in, the first thing you have to read is MNS history. Its all there with many more suprises. The forum is more breeder oriented, but varied & interesting & a lot like here. Many warm people who will make you feel welcome. Cann.com will always be my 'home' forum, & MNS is my second home. The only way I'd ever leave here is if they kick me out. A friend on mns was raided recently. Not because of the forum, but his carbon filter was shot & he was pumping unfiltered exhaust outside & the odor got him. MNS may have stepped up security making it harder to get in. Check with Crystal & see how she got in, or maybe Wheeze. He made it too. You won't be disappointed. This is where you get your stabilized breeding stock....;)
-- Speaking of breeding stock... blueberry. Hummm. The seed co offering the natural landrace indica blueberry was blowing smoke up my ass. I was right in my original belief that the only plants native to Brazil are sativa. There is also no such thing as a natural, landrace blueberry, period. It is strictly a flavor manufactured through selective breeding. In my search, it appears the two best are D.J.Shorts blueberry, sativa dominant I believe. ..& blueberry yum yum, an indica dominate. I can't find a seed source for the blueberry yum yum though. If you find one let me know.
-- I could keep going, but I won't. This post looks like I'm writing a book! LOL! ;) ;) ;)
My blueberry stock was from Dutch Passion Seeds. This is what I used in my hybrids. A very stabile line.
Made the switch, had to leave my device and sneak into office and use number ones desk top. So that maybe catch as catch can. Making this still my fav haunt.
- Read my post on the other forum (my grow log). I'm wondering about the bubble gum then. So far, I have 2 sexed. They are out of the 3 really big ones, but its not pre-flowers..... they are flat out budding under 24hrs of light! Could there be auto flower genetics in the bubblegum? Either way, I'm breeding these two. The vigor in them is phenomenal. Glad I have each sex in these robust phenos! I'd like to create an IBL with these two. Maybe gift the gifter some seeds from my indevors?Quote:

Actually, homogeneous may be it! Thats what auto spell spit out when I went to type homogenized. Anyway, that's not important. It just buggs the shit out of me to almost, but not quite remember something. Since I'll be 60 next month, guess I'd better get used to that! LOL! :)

Shovel, your photos aren't 'poor'! I posted somewhere everyone is welcome to drop in, this is kinda my hybrid grow log/chat room. I feel like I'd be cheating everybody otherwise, since I can't post pics. If you want to post a pic to prove a point or answer a question, do it here. Your grow logs are just that, & very concise, so bring it on over!
-- Well there must be something in the air! A little glitch here, technical difficulties there.... & today my ballast died in my veg closet! Yeah! So the new T5's go into the veg closet & ALL my plans have changed. :( Remember, at the beginning of this thread I'd planned to only flower 4 plants in the closet, but later started constructing a cabinet. Well now its back to the closet with TOO MANY PLANTS! This means no mainlining this time. Was almost there, pruned to shape, just not spread out & wired down yet. They now need to grow upward instead of getting spread out. Another thing.... there are no hairs yet, but the ones not having sexed yet have tiny little POINTY things, none of them look rounded like male flowers. Of course I'm looking at things to tiny to distinguish with the unaided eye, but with 2 stacked pr of reading glasses, sometimes a 100X 'scope, they are all pointed, like females. Don't know what to say about the 2 branches per plant I had let grow out (under the 'hub', the 4 branches) to cut for clones. Theres no place to put them. Too broke to replace the lights any time soon, so the next grow will probably be 4 in the tiny closet, unless I only get a 4 tube T5 & for veg & put the 6 tube bank in the cabinet where it belongs. Oh well. It is what it is. I'll have bud, but the plants will be smushed & ugly. :( Time to get my ass in gear & get those lights going. 12/12, here we come!
Cat I have been soo busy the last few days that I have just caught up on your grow this morning. The weather was 60 degrees sunday! YEs I go outside and inspected the garden- looks like we may have lost half of the fig trees- but everything else looks amazing. I started some semi permaculture here last year and it looks like I have a lot to learn lol!
I have become an expert at finding deals on lights….
First go to Amazon and check out the warehouse deals- they have several T5HO pretty much all the time- these are the lights people ordered and sent back and they work- I have bought several from the warehouse deals- they also get tents sometimes…oh yeah these lights are generally 40% or so off….keep checking like once a week because inventory changes….
Now once they do not sell on Amazon Warehouse they get shipped to stores in TN. KY and I think MI…the stores name is either Essex ( in TN) or Bargain Hunt ( TN and KY)…lights come in the door for half price and the price goes down each month- I got a 2 ft. 8 bulbs T5 for 40.00 all bulbs worked…
But my favorite way to find lights is craigslist- many times people will ship the lights to you from say….maybe Colorado- where people buy these large set ups and decide it easier to just buy it….so I spend a lot of time on states that are about 1 year into thier medical program or now even legalization….I have seen complete set up for a room dirt cheap because people need to get rid of it and want to make something back…often times that is why they will ship….
Hope this helps and your girls get too stretch out there! Stay warm the temps plummetted back into the teens today yuk yuk yuk….
I got my T5's on amazon. They are pretty cheap, but I can't even afford that for 3-4 months. I have property taxes coming up & a diability check doesn't go that far. If I go with a 4 bank instead of 6 for veg, I might be able to do it a little sooner. I just have to accept the fact this this grow won't be what it could have been. Its the fact their too crowded that's going to make the difference. I would really like to leave the 6 bank in the veg closet & get an 8 bank for the cabinet. Time will tell. Have you noticed everybody had equipment failures within days of each other? W E I R D . . . . . . . . . :wtf:
Have been too damned depressed to post much after the lights died. I have seasonally affective disorder (S.A.D) anyway & have been fighting it hard, apparently not winning. As crowded as they are, there's only upward room for 6" more growth. No room horizontally. I have no choice but to bend & wire in the mainline technique I already had started. This means pulling dead & dying leaves daily from the bottom because they certainly won't get light. It also mean prime conditions for disease. They are so pretty & healthy for now, but crowded plants aren't happy & neither am I. :(
no auto genes in that bubblegum. Typically, they will start to pre-flower around day 42.
That would be about right. The 2 that started first would be right on track, (1 male, 1 female), but the female is BUDDING! Not just a few flowers, but in every existing internode, AND its not just a single flower, but they are STACKING! Never seen anything like it outside of auto flower. Its twice as big as the others & looking a touch sativa. The others look 100% indica. A problem now is the over crowding issue. So tight in there, she can't possibly reach her full potential. I'll make every effort to reveg her (& a few more), & give her a chance to later show what she can really do. I definitely want her clones & some seed. I have to 'stack the glasses' later today & have another good look for sex. Like I said in a previous post, under magnification, all the tiny bumps are pointy like females. Hope a couple round out, two males to pull would greatly help with the over crowding. I guess since I'm stuck in the smaller space for a while, I'll barely have 'tide me overs' untill I can rectify the situation. Hoping for good luck on the reveg. Clones will give me a faster turnover, & that's what I need for now. Still scratching my head over that first female. She's honestly budding. :)
