Demeter's Garden of Delight

[stinkyattic]

lol no probs- I've gotta say that having a grow buddy makes me sleep better at night knowing that no matter what happens, I'll never lose my genetics.
Certainly trolling for seeds and clones isn't cool on the site. Do long-standing members who have formed personal relationships with each other do it? Sure. But it's by email and off-site. I suppose just to avoid any confusion we should probably do that too, lol. Or next time we have lunch!

Hi Girlfriend- seems like forever since I posted from the Garden of Delight> Frankly it has become more of a Jungle of Wildness- Since I plan to shut down everything in January, in anticipation of our adoption, I am growing to STOCKPILE, baby!
I've exceeded the maximum sensible number of plants in my flower room by about a dozen! I chopped the tops off a couple fat juicy MTF's last night because they had nanners and were mostly ready- I like a lighter head high anyway. It must be the general overcrowding - I have too many crazy sativa girls standing tall at one end, and the final flowering PPP and MTF are crouched in the front. I still have a half dozen girls, mostly trainwreck, who are ALMOST too big to transport so soon I will have to shove them into flower with the other sardines...! I hope to harvest the bottoms of the MTF I just chopped in about a week, and hopefully the 2 PPP's will be done then too, making room for a few more to flower.
This is what happens when you combine cloning with having to temporarily suspend growing :wtf:
But despite the nanners on the two MTF, and a couple trainwreck that need flushing (jeez, they are in the very back, so I will have to excavate tonight!) the plants are surviving the tight space pretty well. I have bent over a few of the lankier girls - I will take some photos tonight if you upstanding growers promise not to chatise me for my bad behavior. This is not the ideal grow, but the buds look yummy and this little squirrel will be needing plenty of "nuts" to keep her happy over the winter. I may keep one mother to maintain - but it is so hard to choose! I still have some great seeds, so maybe, since I will have plenty of smoke to tide me over, I can afford to wait and see with a few germinating seeds- if they turn out to be male, it won't be tragic. But the growing will have to really get scaled down next year- Demeter will still be growing, but more veggies and flowers to cover. I need to focus on my little persephone

Once the nightime lights come on in the flower room, I'll shoot some pics and be right back!:hippy:

Here are a few pictures- first the ladies in veg waiting (after taking this picture I repotted half of them before I ran out of pots and dirt! The other pictures are of the insanely crowded flower room, which I also reorganized because I had to take two PPP out from the back to be flushed, etc. The spiky tall one with the weirdly skinny leaves is a sagexx, very tempermental! I can't remember what the problem is when the leaves get all skinny and curl like this one is?

In a week I will chop three more little PPP's - and replace them with a blue haze, another PPP and a trainwreck or two. I had planned to be done by early Jan but now it is looking like mid to late January before Demeter turns her garden back to veggies. I want to flower some tomatoes and peppers like last winter, and maybe some japanese eggplant.

Looks like it could have done with a bit longer,but thats just my opinion..none the less,good grow:thumbsup:

[Demeter]

whatcha mean smokie? Do you mean I should wait on the PPP's - how can you see them in the midst of all that green- good eyesight! or do you mean i should have waited on chopPing the MTF? The top trics were mostly cloudy, though there were some new white hairs- still, I needed the room, and those nanners scared me!

Most of what is in the pics won't be ready for at least 4 more weeks, with the rest following in 6, 8 and 10 weeks if all goes as planned. he Blue haze and that damned sagex take the longest, but at least in the case of the blue, it's worth it. I'm only growing the sagex out because I didn't have the heart to toss her once I learned what a fussy plant it is

Hey Demeter!
Sorry I've been away from the boards for a couple days and missed all this.
Chopping a hermed plant IS good practice, especially if you have NO idea why it hermed.
I'll call you tonight... I'm mobile again... mwahahaha... look out Massholes, Stink's BACK ON WHEELS!!!

[Demeter]

So glad you are back on wheels! I've missed my garden guru- you must come visit - I have two mtfs that look like hanging baskets with several trailing arms! Any chance you will be heading east this weekend? We did a final harvest and have about 20 million peppers! I made some yummy salsa verde out of the tomatillos and I know you want some of that! I roasted the toms this time and it really makes a difference. We had it will grilled chicken and it was amazing!

It's always good to see growers growing a cornucopia of plants. I do the same, and I love it. It brings a certain well-rounded quality to the garden which I find is good for one's spiritual well being.

[stinkyattic]

I'm still working through my last pint of tomatillo salsa from Demeter's garden!
My grow at the moment also includes French lavender, rosemary, and 4 varieties of hot pepper. Variety is indeed the SPICE of life, har har har.

Hey stinky- I forgot to ask you- what can you tell me, if anything, about the girl marked "Mystery xx"? I just cut her and she smells amazing!

Did you get the doggie? I hope so!
