older than dirt...:thumbsup:

The very latest of Sensi's fem lines. Very tasty. I don't know when you got yours but for the first 72 hours or so after the launch, they were cheaper than the regs. LOL typo on the Sensi shop page had them listed for about 30 euros.

I'll be drooling on the sidelines through this one.

Hi sarah louise,

Not even sure what we paid for them, my partner bought a bunch of different seeds from a vendor in UK. We did pick the Sensi shiva skunk mostly for the short flowering time and we had heard it was tasty. Went the fem route 'cause I'm too lazy to grow out 20 regular seeds. After we grow out this stuff and select a mom(s), I think we'll do some Hindu Kush by Barney's next. You're welcome to kibbitz here while we wait.

Hey Weezard, I met Lauren Bacall amount 3 years ago. What a lovely lady, and she is still absolutely beatuifull, even at her age.

Yo Dutch, Glad you stopped by finally. Nice choice but I think Elvria would kill you. And if you are older then dirt....what the hell am I.

And Horse, Think you'll find this group is about the same age, "old hippy" vintage, except me I'm a little older "old beat-nik" generation.
The others have heard this, don't think you have, as Willie Nelson said on his 75th birthday and it fits me perfectly "I've out livied my dick." How's that for old?

Yo Dutch, Glad you stopped by finally. Nice choice but I think Elvria would kill you.

...that's the plan I have for retirement....:thumbsup:...and you're older than rock!

When is this thing gonna get started. Iâ??m an â??old hippieâ?� and I wanna get on with it while Iâ??m still youngâ?¦â?¦.and believe me, there ainâ??t that much time left.
I imagine a few of you followed the link to the Willie Nelson video that I left. It appears Oldmac did or was it merely coincidence that he immediately started thinking of Willie��.?? Gotta love that Willie!

The Newb question of the evening is: In a Cervantes video on youtube Jorge says â??donâ??t worry you canâ??t overwater themâ?� but doesnâ??t elaborate on when that ceases to be true. Any conversation?

Looking forward to 4th of July

Yippe Ki Aaaaah Horsemanrocks,

I've been a big Willie Nelson fan for a long time. Went to see him in concert almost two years ago outside Austin,Tx for a NORML benefit. It was an outdoor amplitheater, every seat was in the smoking section! Tho me and my side kick Tonto were looking for the vape section...you know old lungs. (I like to travel with my housmate 'cause he makes me look young, we think he's 91, but won't be sure till we cut him open and count the rings)

I believe when times are tough or your facing adversity, you need to stop and reflect, then ask yourself....what would Willie do? That's when I reach for the SSV vape and do some. Ahhhhhhhhh things get so much better.

I just recently did extensive looking for something dejayou30 mention about photoperiods and Cervantes. I really need to get a copy of his book to see what he says about a few things. That particular video I have not seen, but will look for it. If he's talking about just the way to water in a container grown plant he's right. Water it till it runs out the drain holes, and soak the heck out of it. You can't overwater it. But then you need to let the container to dry out before you do it again. So if you water it too often you could overwater it. Hmmmm. We need context here.

BTW I gave the shiva skunk girls a good feeding and a pep talk. Told them how there were clones in waiting to fufill thier legacy and they better hurry the F up 'cause Horseman was anxious. I got no reply...they is just dumb ass plants, and I can't wait to exploit thier best traits to my advantage.

Yeah....that makes more sense. Cervantes was saying you can't overwater it, but I was thinking how can't you when people do it all the time. Then I sat and realized maybe the overwatering is not caused by too much water in one time, but more of too much water given over a period of time...leading to overwatering. Which lead me to believe why letting the soil "dry" out is so important before watering again. Glad you posted this so I could realize what it was he meant exactly by, "You can't overwater them." Kudos! :thumbsup:

[oldmac]

Hey Italiano, I'm guessing that's what he meant, I could be wrong.

I saw a great tag line on another site:

How you tell when a container grown plant needs water...lift the pot!

Just love the common sence approach. And that's what I do now in the grow you see pics of. Container growing using P-mix, it's how I started a long time ago indoors. And for all the pain in the ass "dirt" growing is....it beats the crap outta rockwool in my other set-up. Not in production but in the pain in the ass dept. RW is such crap to dispose of, took me two years to come up with a method to "destroy the evidence" when done with it.

[Horsemanrocks]

what would Willie do?

Between you and Italiano itâ??s clearâ?¦.
The video is on youtube. Itâ??s one that isnâ??t presently restricted. Itâ??s his ultimate grow #7 about 7min and 15sec in. Totally understandable now though.

I just recently did extensive looking for something dejayou30 mention about photoperiods and Cervantes. I really need to get a copy of his book to see what he says about a few things.

Just found an Ed Rosenthal link late last nightâ?¦..so I havenâ??t spent any time with it yet. Might also be of interest? Ask Ed | Cannabis Culture Magazine

BTW I gave the shiva skunk girls a good feeding and a pep talk. Told them how there were clones in waiting to fufill thier legacy and they better hurry the F up 'cause Horseman was anxious.

Donâ??t know how they could help but respond to that.

Thanks for the entertainment

Hey Horseman,

I have an old Ed Rosenthal (w/Mel Franks) grow guide and I think it is damn good. Earlier this week I got to go to a "big city" and look thru a Borders book store. I could not believe how many mj or mmj grow guides there where. Including a whole book by Rosenthal called "Ed R answers all your questions" which is a compelation of his columns, and was quite good. Of course they had no Cervantes book's, figures.

I much prefer Rosenthal, since he is a grower. Cervantes just seems to visit growers, I have yet to see anything he's grown. Just today I read another post of someone citing Cervantes, as gospel, and again not sure I would agree 100%.

On the Shivas Skunk selection, my partner and I went over all the notes so far, but I was so tired I did not bother to take notes of the notes to post. I'll need to do that in the next day or two and get some pics of the original 10 plants in bloom room. I really can't believe that people grow these things to full size (abt 145cm [4']) according to Sensi seeds, they are way bigger then I normally grow indoors, and are larger then my head space, since I grow on a table. I'm too old to have the plants on the floor and all the bending and stooping it intails. But they are doing well, 1 or 2 are abt 3 1/2' and the rest at 4' or so.

OH well gotta grab some lunch and get my afternoon started. Post more soon.
