Just Another Crappy Day in Paradise Maui Grow Log

[weeddaddy50]

my wife is also older than me by 5 years....I follow your grow log and the information is both interesting and informative....the ebb and flow about growing .....I.E. the highs and lows.... I experience this with my own grow at least twice a week.. and now you are doing the regrows...keep it up you have my attention.

I have two plants I did not take clones from that are flowering HUGE buds...2 to 3 weeks from harvest and I want to regrow both for the clones and then reflower both.

Not to say it can't be done, Just your failure rate is very high. I have seen my partner bring out lights and put 24 hour light on the leftover plant where it grew, just to see if the plant will reveg. It never worked.

It would be far easier to check the bottom of the plant for a scraggily branch in the deep shade and force individual clones out of bud, with 24 hour light vs trying to revive the stump.

The key to regrows is the days are slowly getting longer First the photoperiod tells the plant to bud, then it say, "Hold On , too much light. Poor plant doesn't know to shit or go blind.

Contrast that to now. The days are getting shorter and the plant knows what to do. It throws buds all over, then dies. It is geniticly programed to do that. Breaking it out of that program, very hard to do. Especialy this close to harvest.

Save yourself the trouble. Keep your genetics alive thru clones. The day the clones hit outside, they will immediatly bud. Try to stress fag some, make your cross, and plant from seed in Febuary for regrows the right way.

Looks like the picture posting is back up. The first 3 pics are the big one. I took over 5 lbs off of her. You should have seen the look in my trimmers face when I hauled this puppy inside.

The next two are stragglers. I am slowly finishing them on my own sweet time. Both are well on their way to 3 lbs each.

Time to dump all the pictures I have saved. Welcome to harvest 2010!

The last pic is of a plant already harvested. The first three are still going strong and are a few of the 8 or so left. The first pic is a clone.

Trimmin... I seem to have lost my trimmers. Wife of my youth got just into her third plant and said screw it. Whats up with that?

Patients got their cut and promptly bailed. Sat there, smoking my stash, got their cut done and thanks dude... later. Assholes. No help there. My two old girlfriends got the boot from wife of my youth. We were having too much fun. She doesn't want me playing alone with them. Christ, they both married animals, like I would even think of going there?? I want to wake up tomorrow too.

My trimming staff is now me,myself, and I. Life is a big pile of weed slowly getting smaller. You can't hire good help nowdays.

If my patients read this (and they will) I would like to wish them a Merry Fuck You. You insipid bitches, wait til you see what you get next year! I WILL fix you up!

Thank you.

And the last in this series... This is what it is all about. The finished product.
Here is this afternoons job well done. Almost 3 lbs. In the jars in personal stash. In the tray is still curing. All is spoken for.

My garage is still jammed, and my attic I don't even want to talk about. Spare bedroom is wall to wall and we are now hanging in the living room.

I will be done, at this rate, sometime in 2015.

The first two pics are a Maui HB/ Black Thai cross female with White Widow dad

Third is #17, the cali girl. A skunk/Thai cross. Im keeping it all for me.

Wow that Cali girl sure is dark green even when dried. Was it really dark when livin ?

[oldhaole]

Here is a pic of that Cali girl I am saving for me. Same one you are asking about. It is not as dark green as in that pic I just took. I should be taking my pics in the morning sun, but I wanted to fire this out.

That plant got to 6 ft, and yielded 22 ozs. Of the 9 cali girls she was by far the biggest yielder.

The first pic is just the bottom part. I had already taken the top by then.

Those look very nice, makes me wanta smoke and I'm just now having coffee. I do have a question about your soil. Is that sandy volcanic soil. I live on the side of a dormant volcano and grow in sandy soil and my girls just love it.:thumbsup:

That's a fine harvest, haole. I wish I could harvest before I get ripped, but that never happens anymore. I did get to put some seedlings outdoors for a few weeks and bring them in before they got looking like something. They would never had finished outdoors anyway as I'm at 45º and the girls are a hazey hybrid. Good luck with your chore! :jointsmile:
