Revegging after harvest - Grow log/Advice/Proof Enjoy!

Thanks, I appreciate the comment, I can't wait to see my reveg in flower... its got so many good tops that I've been too lazy to even start trying to count them. And I didn't top anything myself, its all natural, I just hope that the 700watts of HPS lighting I plan to dedicate to her will be enough to show off her full potential indoors. In fact I've actually cut a ton of them off just to make sure I had solid air flow since I often times run high humidity in my veg room. That and when I had a small spider mite outbreak I wanted to make sure I didn't have anywhere on the plant where those little bastards could really hide out and prosper. I'm hoping I'll build a proper SCROG setup now that I made some mistakes in my first attempt and am able to learn from them.

Again I'd like to thank FarmerRich for the inspiration to build a cart on wheels with a screen mounted on top for a SCROG. Soon as he showed me a pic of his setup I thought... "Yup, that makes sense right there." haha.

Ok so I know I said I'd likely have more pics this afternoon for my reveg and scrog progress... as I said the reason I couldn't post the other day was I had to leave real fast for a meeting overnight. So I left my girlfriend with a real simple task that didn't have time to do before I left... basically there was no real need to build a scrog machine anymore right now.... heres what I came home to find.

The small one in one of the pictures is a clone I have from a sativa strain that I decided to stop production on because I didn't want to deal with its size right now when I'm experimenting with so many other different things. That clone is the last I had of it, the day before I killed off all the other plants I had of that variety, now... I have nothing.

Balls! Most of that has got to be recovereable, right? Even the small ones, you've got to give them a chance! I've seen a few horror stories of when people have had to go away and leave things to other people to deal with which is sad when you see all the work and care that people put into this. :(

The little one is gone, and so dies those genetics for me... which is very sad because I worked hard with that, in more of a frustration battle than simply work for progress. Lots of stress was put onto me by that strain, but I hung in there and had a plan... now its dead, no chance of survival, its been in a humidity tent all day since then and is just a noodle. My main reveg took some serious tinkering to bring back to life though. I've seen this before, in fact her first time growing... I have done things like this to her, just not this bad. And I would think the bigger the plant, the harder it is to recover... also the harder it is to harm. I adjusted the soil like I've never adjusted soil before, using 3 different soil PH testing methods, and 2 methods of testing fertility and the concentration of specific nutes, or even potential sodium buildups. Adjusted temperature, humidity, light distribution and strength, reduced any and all stress that I could from the few branches that I had tied into place. Then I whipped out all the nutes I had and, using some high school science class techniques, split out the excess nutes from solutions that I didn't need, and boosted the ones that I did need, in an effort to reduce the work it would have to do when dealing with excess nutes in the soil. Mixed it up light and distributed it to the roots in a slow even fashion to ensure it had a solid opportunity to draw in the solution even though its weak. So far some of the growth has bounced back strong, some is still gimpy... I think areas that were close to lights that naturally get hot were damaged worse, as well as areas that were more exposed to constant air flow vs being shielded by other branches/leaves. With what I've seen so far I expect a full recovery, and when it is recovered I plan to sledgehammer the soil and start over fresh with it to ensure she gets exactly what she wants...... God damn I hope I never have a daughter that cries in a toy store or I'm screwed.

I'm just really bummed out to lose my only sativa, since I personally don't have a means to order seeds online. Even though its legal for me, I still don't think it would look good if my company was audited and my business credit card statement said I bought marijuana seeds and used them as a tax write off, haha. "And these cannabis seeds... they do what to help the blacktopping industry for you...?" -IRS man.... try answering that question.

Oh wow I almost forgot one more thing I wanted to say. With the addition of my girlfriends failure to follow through with my requests.. (the 2nd request was that she make sure my flower room door is closed for darkness hours so their light cycles aren't messed up... she didn't do that either) and of course the care of my reveg and clones...


Basically, the words I would like to get across to all of you today to express my gratitude for the world and people around me are as follows.....

!!!! F.M.L. !!!!

Well it sounds like you've made every effort to get things back on track. Sorry to see it's a bit of a mess. Keep us posted on the progress. BTW... Is there nobody else who can be trusted to order seeds on your behalf? No head shops or anything you can go to in person to get stuff ordered and pay cash?

Perhaps I could try that I suppose... however honestly I would prefer taking a shot in the dark on sending a random person cash in the mail and have them pick something up or order for me. If I lose the money, big deal... I don't trust people around here, too many thieves. I've owned my current house for 1.5 years, got robbed last easter of all my tools during my home remodel project, which I started with a plan and ended up doing like 4X as much remodeling, so it got expensive. Then all of the sudden I have no more tools so the remodel stops, and I had to spend a ton of money to rebuy tools, and some of the ones were tools I use for my business which are extremely expensive. Then a couple months after that I had gotten home late, and was in my garage when all of the sudden the back door opened up a crack, then a hand came through with a flashlight.. my immediate/accidental response was to actually say "hello?", so they slammed the door. I pulled my gun out from my hip and took off after him but in that short amount of time he was gone, couldn't see or hear any movement. Definitely jumped into the small patch of woods behind my house and laid down... police wouldn't even bother searching in the woods they just drove around the block and then left... fuckin bullshit. I shut off all my outside lights and made it seem like I had gone back inside for the night, and snuck around the side of my garage and sat in the dark waiting... til my GF flipped the back light on and asked what I was doing.... derrrrrrrrr. I stood at the edge of the woods after that and had some very... 'colorful' statements to make towards the guy and then went in. Also had a 3rd robbery attempt but I've already rambled on too much. Ever since I bought my blacktopping company I haven't had much time to keep up with friends and what not, so its hard to truly trust anyone here for me.. I've been burned so many times in the past. I could care less if they take the money I give them for the order... I just dont want them to tell the wrong person about what I do and get robbed at gunpoint for it... so sad to see weed thieves come jack entire plants that aren't even fully matured enough to smoke well, just chop em off at the base and leave with it... morons.

Anyways, bottom line is I just don't want people around here, other than my small group of medical cannabis users. I got a couple free plane tickets from credit card rewards I was thinking about taking a little vacation somewhere that has amazing cannabis seed strain varieties available for purchase. As far as I understand though.. you cannot travel on a plane with seeds, correct? Even if I am legally permitted to within my state?

I've just enjoyed reading through your thread from the beginning and just wanted to say what a great job you did/are doing. The re-veg girl looks a real beast and the young clones are doing really well. Hope you have the time to keep this going, it would be fun seeing her scrog and flower again.

- Rattlingdags

I forgot to thank you for the comment when I read it a little while back, its great to hear that kinda response from people here. I haven't been growing for very long at all but I feel like everyone here has helped me along so much recently that I can almost consider myself a reasonably experienced grower.. or perhaps experienced isn't the right word because I haven't tried everything that I know now. I enjoy the ability to offer up advice and answer questions about problems people may be having, so I take the opportunity to do so anytime I can, just so long as I am sure that what I am saying is correct and not setting someone up for a mistake. Ya'll are the ones that filled my head with this knowledge in the first place, well, and google, but thats a given... nobody can compete with googles wealth of knowledge haha.

Anyways Rattling... Thank you and I appreciate it. I may not know you personally and you may live who knows how far away.. but it still means a lot to me to hear comments like that when I put so much time and effort into my growing. Which is great because I don't grow for money or anything, hell my primary goal isn't even consuming the bud once its finished.. mostly I just simply enjoy growing it and expanding my knowledge on plant biology so I can share it with others. I do believe cannabis should be a legal choice that people can make on their own, and when that happens nationwide, our country will need people like us to explain the true pros and cons of cannabis as it relates to medical practice.

Seeds are tiny and easily secreted! ;)

Oh yeah I know how that works forsure, I just wanted to confirm the actual laws just for reference. Imagine a hardcore heroin addict or something smuggling heroin up his ass in portugal's big airport only to be x-rayed and then informed that its legal by the concerned, confused, security guard after a REALLY uncomfortable trip. Embarrassment? I'd think so haha, nobody wants to get caught smuggling something legal, you'd look like such a moron... plus security probably wouldn't know what to do with you. I'm sure its not a real common occurance.
