So i use a chair, dosnt mean i cant grow!

Yeah im a quad, but can use my arm's very well. I am going to do everything or as much as i can to prove a point. People can do anything if they put there mind to it. Plus my first grow lasted me 8 months :rasta:

In a few days il get some outside pic's. The only thing i couldnt do was stick em in the premo soil thats around my place. For 40 years cattle had the run of the land, then i had my house built on it. Nice dark soil! Some bag seed i liked, cuz the border control took my KUSH AND WHITE WIDOW that came from Amsterdam. Il try Canada next time:pimp:

Keep an eye out i know il need some advise. My damn chair cuts a path right to em. Most are about 5 inches so far. Alsoiv only spent $.99 for the cups. They slid out with a ton of roots, right to to the ground. But im taking a bath at my first attemt to water. Gotta work on that. Plus i need to know when to feed. Only tryin to improve from last grow. Any advise would be great...Peace

Good job. Its always a great satisfaction in doing things yourself.

i dont understand.. what does being in a wheelchair have anything to do with growing weed.

do u want people to say, "Wow you are growing even tho handi capped, you are amazing"...

happy smokin

I give the person a great :thumbsup:

I was thinking about this earlier because I have a hip condition that may have me temporarly in a wheel chair, and I ruled it out.. However I am extremely impressed, good work.. Keep it up :hippy:

a handicap is only a handicap if one allows it to be. sometimes being told one can't do something is the motivation one needs to do that something.

i think it's awesome that you don't let it stand in your way seeya! it's also an inspiration to others as well as a wake up call to lazy people!

good growing.

First im not "handi capped", I am a person with a disability. I have a disability.



hahand·i·capped [hándee kÃ*pt]
adj

1. physically or mentally challenged: physically or mentally challenged (often considered offensive)

2. for people with disabilities: for use by people with disabilities
the handicapped entrance near the parking lot

npl
offensive term: an offensive term for people who are physically or mentally challenged

Although handicapped has a long history of use by those so affected, physically challenged and people with disabilities are preferred over the adjective and noun uses of handicapped when referring to people.

Its person with a disability. Put the person before the disability. Its called person first language. What your refering to is something accessible , like a parking spot, or golf term. This is only an FYI.
Encarta ® World English Dictionary © & (P) 1998-2005 Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved.


Its written in law that care givers can grow for people w/ disabilities or transport it. I am only letingt those who care that it is something people can do for themselves. It just feels good around October, after looking back at the hard work youve put in your project. Also, it takes your mind off pain, while doing a hobby. Oh and if someone reads what im doing here, good for them, cuz that person might get a new hobby. Or even better, they could tell a friend who use's a chair. Plus that person could come up with ideas no one has ever used. And you should know we need everyone advacating the issue.

Thanks for the thumbs up my friends, peace

Long time ago, poor kids would hold there cap out with hopes that people would give them money. That is where the term handi-cap came from-FYI



No out side pic's, because it took most of the day figuring out how to get dirt in the pot for LST. LOL, It was a mess:wtf:

So i got 2 im LSTing. I really want to see if i can keep it in a tight circle. It sorta started out side ways, which i used to my advantage. I tied a piece of twine loose to get started and placed a rock in front for comfort with a big rain on its way.
This rock iv been saving to put in the landscape of my 6 year old white pine iv been trainning in a pot. This year it will be transplanted in a nice clay bonsai tray. I do have a pic of one LST.

PEACE:rastasmoke:

Digging was the tough part, but i had a bud help me with that. The 2 up near my house il baby all year. Out of 12 i have 9 inthe wild so far. I am seeing deer tracks tho. I have lived here 7 years and saw 3. I put out the premo and they want to have deer games right where i dont want em. (basturds)
Had shoulder surgery so its a work out too.

looks good see ya.

got any pics of the bonsai'd white pine? i've been starting to gain interest in bonsai myself. i've yet to dedicate anytime to it at all as of yet though. one day....

Hey shake, thanks man. You would like bonsai if ya like growing plants. Most important thing is it must look like it belongs. My pine made it out of 6 i had in a giant pot. Enviornment is the most important. Must keep them in thier cycle. EX; the pine after potted in bonsai pot must be kept in its pot underground throgh winter. Every conifer likes their roots to freeze in winter. Then dig em up in spring. Same with every tree you see outside. People purchase a nice $250;00 maple and display on there coffee table, then cant understand why the leaves fall off. genetics but id bet you already know this.
I have 2 ficus that are just hanging on. Iv not been able to take care of em because i had a shoulder scop, but im better now and the both need re-potted. My dad bought one from wal-mart. Wasa nice thought but ya never buy them under that type of light. Plus you cant see the root growth, so i will brake it out of the dumb rock its glued down with and re-pot it. 40per gritt 60 soil. It will grow fast then, you only cut back new growth after that. bonsai web is a great site to check out great trees. Iv read many books a i also found a local grower...........a must if ya can find one. If you need anything just let me know, as i know most methods/styles and finding them in the wild. Now thats fun:D:D

thanks for all the info see ya! i'll definitely start devoting some time to it. bonsai sounds more and more cool....and more and more in depth.

i'm sure i'll have plenty of questions. finding one in the wild would be amazing.

very cool stuff. i keep loving plans more and more everyday.


-shake

Sorry i forgot the Pine, but here are the ficus that need repotting. Iv had the one on the left for 8 years now. The big one on the right was a x-mass gift that was bought at Sam's Club. Something not advised, because rocks are glued to the soil and you cant see roots. They mass grow em and then put em in a semi truck and ship them all over. But after ya repot them you can get lucky with ok roots. Im hoping this will be the case. I looks like a nice tree.

See Ya:rasta:

OK Flaime, that comment was unnecessary and kind of lacked any tact or class. Other members have told you and I would like to remind you we have a no flaming, no personal attacks, no insults, and no trolling so please watch your choice of words next time.

cool trees let's see!

i've been reading up on them a bit.

Hey man just wanted to stop by!! And say Right on Brotha!!! I myself have to deal with the chair.. So know some of the deal I a para no where near quad but lived with many quads in various V.A's... Keep on keeping on Man!!!

Gosh, that made me shudder... malsai :(

I hope you've already got rid of the glued on stones, they do more than hide the nebari. The glue prevents water from reaching the roots, poisons the substrate and starves the tree.

Nice to know there are a few bonsai fans in the canna growing community.

Shake - if you want to practice some of the techniques you are reading about, cannabis plants make excellent short term models. They respond in days/weeks to tinkering rather than months/years with long lived species.

Just don't do it to plants that you plan to harvest.

thanks for the info sarah. we seem to be crossing paths lately. lol.

i think i might give one a try when i've got an extra lady around.

i love the discipine aspect of it very much, that goes for the japanese/buddhist culture in general.

Here are 3 pic's that are not the best, thats for sure. But, after topping it has clustered all up. I see no balls, but might have seen a couple hairs. The wind got to it today, but its been a week from topping and im afraid i got a hermi. I started this outside and its been there about 32 days. Can anyone see anything. :wtf:

I can't see anything from those pictures. Give it another couple weeks; 32 days might not be enough time to determine the sex, especially if it's growing outside. A little wind shouldn't have caused any damage (itwill actually help make it a stronger plant, as long as it doesn't cause the stems to break or anything).

Looks pretty healthy though. Keep going, and make sure you look at the third node up from the bottom to determine sex. If you can get pictures of the third node (or higher) in about a week, post those.

Well, so i waited as advised, by someone more knowledgable than I. So, its been about 11 days and some of the inside of the plant just dryed up and fell off? And a branch broke while i was trying to get to the middle of the plant to look for signs of sex. If anything i believe iv helped it with a burst of a growing spert after it broke. Here are pics of the tops and side view. The first is the problem plant. After i topped it, the plant went crazy.I even thought i saw pre flowers. I cant believe that pre flowers would come out in 45 days. BUT, it is bag seed i liked and it could just hermi up on me. This is my 3rd year with out a really great grow, but with out that great seed to start with it isnt helping my cause. Il have my seeds next year for sure.
The 2 packs i ordered from Holland were taken in the mail by the boarder control. Which cost me $180.00 and dont have the cash to try at this time.

Also, the first 2 are topped and the 3rd isnt yet. I plan to top it soon.

My question is whats up with the first one. I feed the same cheap stuff to all my plants called. "EXPERT GARDENER WATER SOLUABLE PLANT FOOD" ITS 15-30-15 Its just what i could spend?:wtf:

i tried to get a shot inside the plant and blow it up. not sure it will work but here we go:rastasmoke: ok i tried one more i think you can see what i mean.

Ok what do ya think. Any advise il take for sure. Thanks:rasta:

I still tell if there are signs of sex yet. If at all possible, check your camera for a "Macro" setting, which lets you take picture really close up of things. In one of your pictures it looks like it might be a hermi, but without getting closer, I can't tell for sure. The higher up on the plants you look, the easier it will be to tell. By the 6th or 7th node, you should be able to tell.

The plant in the first picture: it looks like nute burn. Stop using the nutrients immediately, and just flush the nutes out with water. That's my guess, since you aren't using CFLs or anything to burn them.

Regardless, your other plants look great. Very healthy. They may be a bit yellow-ish....check some of the other threads to see what that means (i.e. too much K, Ph, etc.). I'm no expert by any means, of course.

I really wouldn't worry about trying to sex them if they are being shy :) Just keep doing what you're doing and eventually you'll be able to tell. It took 2 months for one of my grows to sex the plants...I just couldn't tell.

Keep it going!

Wow thanks for getting back with me so fast. I dont have the setting on my camara. Its a piece of crap. If you open the pic in a different aplication you can zoomit on your computer. Probly im using to much fert. thats for sure. I guess i feel like everyone on here is feeding something and thats what made me do it. I guess its what im using thats hurting them. Just not the right stuff.

But i think its really helping the ones i have planted in the ground. I mix it weak and they seem happy. I need to keep some soapy water on em becouse the bugs are eating the heck out of them. But, there still growing. One is about 2 feet and the rest are close. 3 are small but nice and green.

Thanks again and il get some pic's up after i see some really good growth.:rasta:

Ok i checked these just the other day and the bottems were sorta brown because of bugs. They were getting ate up. So i was putting soapy water on them. On the same day i gave them the fert i mentioned above. What happen the fert, or the soap?:( Im not using the fert anymore because i was advised not to. I guess i thought i needed something to boost the growth. I think they said it was to strong. So what can i use thats not so strong that might help the growth? Any ideas would help please, thanks:D

Also is the soap hurting the plants, its just dish soap.
I will get a closer pic Sunday:wtf:

you should use neem oil instead of soapy water for the bugs.

They look almost dead......My best advice is do some research,before trying these home remedies----Peace.

And clear the grass, no pun intended, away from the plants. Its competing for the nutrients and are winning by virtue of abundance. :thumbsup:

I think iv burned them up with the fert i was using. Also, there are only select times when i can water or care for them. So, what i did is over fertalize while the sun was baking them. I tried to not get anything on the plant but, i did, then did something even more stupid. I put the soapy water on them and the sun just burned them up with the combination of the both.

I watered them early as i could the next day after the little bit of rain we did get. I soaked each plant with straight well water. They did look better then the pictures which i took the day before. I think the rain helped them perk up. And im hoping my attemt of a wash will help. I plan to go to straight water till they get back to better health. My problems with the advise which im glad to get it that is pulling weeds and clearing my area is i use a wheelchair. Now im going to try something. Im pretty creative when i comes to adapting. I am trying to independently do this grow. I had to have a friend put them in the ground, which they were put in way to shallow and i had him come back and put them in deeper. After this they took off. But i really want to do everything i can myself. The issue with the Neem oil is im so broke i cant pay attention. I wonder if there is some around the house. Iv only heard of it being used on here. Also, iv heard the soapy water is something good to use. The thing is, i gotta use something for bugs. They are really bad and are just eating away my leaves. I think that applying it in direct sun light was my problem. I will be posting pics today of the 3 i have in pots, which 2 look great and the other may be a hermy. Also, Im going to get new pics of the damaged plants. I just know they have recoverd from my over fert. and applying soapy water with the sun beating on them<just stupid!:wtf:

It seems that i do so much better in pots then in the ground.

So this would be my best plant thus far. I topped it after the 3rd node and a branch took off. Iv been topping each site to produce more bud. Im no expert, but like to experiment. So far she looks nice:rasta:

I really like this plant. I have a yellow leaf but i was over ferting them i believe. I hope my snipping isnt causing this yellowish thing.

Well water and more water in the last two days has helped out. They are more green and are growing. As long as i dont over fert or find a different fert, i think il be ok. If ya stare at them long enough you will see them in the weeds. I know i need to clear the weeds, but i havent figured out how yet.

This is the first plant i posted. The thing went crazy. Im still not sure of sex yet. Might be a hermy, but i really dont think so. Anyone see anything? I tried to get a close pic, but this is the best i could do. If ya click on it, it looks bigger

Here is the last of the year. Topped it two days ago. Il grow it out in the pot like the other. But im thinking by putting them in my garden i might get more in the end. Im not big on huge buds, i like tight nuggets. I hope lots of them, but iv just started with this one.:thumbsup:

If you cant tell i have a lot of time on my hands and with out this i really dont know what the hell i would do. Watch tv, com on thats what winter is for. I guess what im saying is thank you everyone for being on this site, its the best. :rastasmoke:

Its a female, hermy or what. Iv topped it but in never did grow right. iT SEEMS EVERY HAIR THAT GROWS OUT BURNS UP. iV STOPPED ALL NUTES AND JUST GIVING WATER AT THIS POINT.

lookin good...:thumbsup:
nutes can be a pain.

i read read read about growing.. i never really liked reading lol
but its helped me alot.
this site has so much useful info.

i think the ones in the pot that u have maybe gettting routbound, i know if u was to put them in the ground or a bigger pot u will see growth pretty fast if ur careful when transplanting.

i couldnt tell any signs of sex from the pix.
good pix btw, i use a crappy cell cam, cant take close pix.

i top after the 4th or 5th node, then let about 4 nodes or more grow, then top again. sometimes topping to much to quick will stress/slow down growth.

lol "rootbound" wow.. dont smoke n type;)

When the winter comes, then that's when you move the project indoors! :D
