Day Twenty Two Update
There are some nights when you are just too baked to go near your plants. Saturday was one of those nights...
I got news from work late last week that I was being sent aboard for two weeks on Monday (today). Obliviously this is not an ideal situation as the plants are getting near stretch time and will need tended to and unfortunately the only person I can trust to do this...
a: didn't know that I grew (he does now),
b: the closest he has ever come to tending to anything 'horticulture' related was when he pissed against a tree one night
and,
c: is a bit of a thick cunt who I wouldn't even normally trust him to walk my dog never mind tend to my plants.
So Saturday evening I thought I'd begin Hardon's IPTCC (Intensive Plant Tending Crash Course). So we sat smoking as I explained to my mate pretty much everything about growing and explained in detail everything that he might have to do. It took a while and a considerable amount of weed to get to a point where I realised he wasn't understanding even the mere concept of what I was saying...
So I took him up to the tent and tried to explain everything with the plants in front of me, hoping that might inspire his brain to engage. At some point I grabbed the screen and stuffed it in the tent to show him what he had to do with it. To be honest, I didn't secure it because I thought it would have temporarily held in place as it is a tight enough fit. But of course when I opened the tent again, the screen came crashing down!
It somehow split the top of #4 in two as well as almost removing one of the new shoots. It also managed to almost remove a branch from #3. #1 and #2 both got hit but seemed to escape any major damage. To be honest I didn't have much hope for the damaged branches and shoots as it was a rather clean slice. I taped them up but they were dying off so I just removed them.
This is very typical of a Hardon grow as I always try to kill my plants at least once
And of course this attempt was all for nothing as my boss called me yesterday and told me to stand down....
Boss....
Other than the recent assassination attempt via screen, the plants are still making great progress! They responded maybe a little slower than some autos to being topped but the new growth is well underway now. They got fed today with 5ml Grow & 1ml Silicon. Lights out temps are down to the high 17's now - I have another tube heater ordered up but it hasn't arrived yet. And to be honest, I don't think I'll even have the room for it! And my god they absolutely stink already!!!
And since he is clearly running scared and ignoring my challenge in the grow off battle thread - Sir
@Roark - Knight of the SCROG. I challenge you to up the stakes in our GLR grow off battle.
Maximum rep for the winner.
You gonna step up and lay your rep on the line bro?...
