I also did some soft boiled eggs for the first time , dam I should have do it years ago they are soooooo good .

When I smoke, it's a full chest and all racks are full. After about an hour, I'll set some eggs on top of my ribs.
I started doing it when I was a little kid and Dad was smoking. Dad loved it and we 'fought' over them.

Here we are at the end of week 8 and all is going well except the big plant [ DJGlue ] which is my fault due to under feeding , What I do in the later stages is trim leaves off that are shading over buds and I have never had a problem doing this and believe I get a better yield , @gorilla ganja end of week 8 ,

Looks excellent @hecno!! Planning to grow a DJ Glue or two this summer. Good to know she likes her feed.

Howdy all , end of week 9 and all is going well and just starting to show some amber which I don't like a lot of - 5 to 10 % is good for me , water only and the big girl got a lite feed early in the week , buds are rock hard , We had a big storm last night - Thunder and rain - and one of my drivers blow out and dropped 4 cobs , not a problem as there is 4 more on that board and the Qboard is fine so I just had to squeeze them up a bit , Smell - nice - you know I am no good at it

Looking awesome my brother from down under
Good to see you still growing and growing very beautifully. You're inside and outside gardens are top notch. Love the test soil. I'm a firm believer in fish emulsions. I use them in my gardens. I use a product called Alaskan fish fertilizer. Stinks like hell but it works like no other...

But I just wanted to jump in here and say howdy. I'm glad to see you're still doing well.

Good of you for dropping in @Growtogrow and thanks for the rep @Mossy i tell ya guys , it can be hard growing indoor in the tropics in a small town , with the storms , had another power drop out 6 hours , very high humidity and heat . which lead to this . Bloody mold , just the one plant and only some of it , she was super dense , lucky I still have 1/2 that is ok , and the god dam aircon was giving me the shits , but fear not I had a new spare one , window mounted . Might be the first time a Gorilla tent had a hole cut in it , but I don't care because it is doing a way better job
Just have to make do with what we have . I will be harvesting in 3 days time which takes them to 10 weeks and 4 days ,
Mold

New batch of soil , got lots of goodies in here , some of you guys may not know , but this is a on going soil as in reused and added to , it is over 3 years now , this batch had a big pile of fish frames added , I don't have a worm farm as such as it is a work farm and I use local inputs I can find , There is 400 liters here and I am about to start another one - 400 - liter .

Here is something I have been playing around with - Insect Frass - I can get heaps of it from around me , just have to walk around in the bush and know what you are looking for , I have spent time studying the stuff and played around with it and decided it is worth my time , how I use it is to mix it in the soil at potting up time , when I do come across big lots I will also mix it in the main soil .

Insect frass has great microbial content and a balanced nutrient load for the insects that are commercially harvested (mealworms and black soldier fly are the ones I'm familiar with). I'd be a little cautious with wild harvested and probably compost it first just to make sure there's not pathogens coming into my garden. If it's an outdoor grow then it's less of a concern, but indoors I'd be more cautious.

@KIS I hear ya mate , I first started trialing it with potted garden plants a few years ago , Then I did a plant with soil amended with it , which led to doing more plants [ cannabis ] and have had no adverse reaction -- so far -- That I can tell . Here is a fresh batch with main critter that made the frass - Millipede - I got it from a large wood chip pile at work , The other thing I found out was it is high in Humas , and as you said a balanced nutrient load - 2.2.2. -

White banded black rainforest millipede, Spirostreptida, family Iulomorphidae , Myriapoda,

The joy of organics is the joy of the things you learn along the way , It really opens your mind to the awesome place we call home .

It has beautiful tilth. Would be fun to put it under the microscope to look at the biology.
