Grow Mediums Rebel's Road to Redemption -- Dueling Tents

[Waira]

:tiphat: Evenin', Rvrnd. Coco-nut! Those little green larvae are making an great comeback,... they look much much better (save the still sulky SSH, but she's trying- LOL!); the SAD is acting like it was all just a bad dream,.... ...I'd still like to see them color up some more,...right now they're sucking up every atom of Fe they can lay membrane to! The way they're growing, demand still exceeds supply I think... they're barkin' for more, Reb,... What do you think? ...you got any kind of Fe supp'? Interesting how the photo's are nearly keeping pace with the autos, though that'll change pretty soon I suspect! Full speed ahead, Capt'n stylez rasta smoke...!

Then I got a phone call out of the blue to pick up a fish at a fishery for a friend who needed a Grass Carp to clear up his lake but couldn't afford to drive to get it..

Cool,... Grass carp are the lawn mowers of the fish world! When I was in Florida getting my Masters, I got to see some of them in action; down there, an invasive species of Water Hyacinth is a common menace to the waterways and ecosystem- overgrowing, clogging, light smothering natives,... the grass carp was to be the natural solution, if they could a) use only sterile carps (triploid chromosome count, weird and interesting way they go about doing this..), and b) not allow any fertiles to escape through mishap from official facilities, and c) not have 'unofficial' releases of the same, by folks who picked them up somehow, elsewhere and have them escape or be tossed away... results? Strikes 1-2-3 Evil Laugh x -have you seen footage on TV showing people in boats getting pummeled by scores of these fish panicking over the boat motor and then launching out of the water like Trident missiles? LMAO!! .. how do you spell FUBAR...?! Seriously, it's like something out of a bad Piranha movie!! Anyway, it sounds like it was a fantastic little trip, for a good cause, by a good Sam', and clearly Capt'n Karma was watchin' too! :brow: You lucky dog(s)! A choice fishing hole, unfettered access,...*sigh* LOL!... What's he got stocked in there?
You gotta love those regional legendary strains, huh! Out my way, it's Big Sur Holy weed,... but like most legends, it's true origins and age are hotly contested, rife with fraud (anybody who grows it down here, they feel free to call it so, never mind the actual strain), so who knows if I've ever really had it for sure,...only the old hippie-trippers that have lived down deep in the thickets know the truth!... :smoke: I remember other no-name local strains that we smoked during high school-early collage that were great, and have never seen the like since,... then when I went to Humboldt State, that strain meter red-lined the whole time I was there! Ahhh, how I miss some of those incredible smokes,... especially a few of the Indica varieties-wow! Super heavy 'bones', large, squat calyxes, very wide leaves, and aromatics, again, I've not seen the like since,... LOL! lots of nostalgia with them, as I'm sure you understand well! :group:

Well done reb ...Deathstar ..
I'd smoke it !!!

 

[Jackal]

What's up Rebel!? Some nice strains you got going on, never grown in coco, but I would imagine it would be similar to Promix being soiless? Anyway good luck with the grow! Missed you brother :hug:

 

[GCase]

Waira your comments are, always, a pleasure to read.

 

[Waira]

{Alan S.}-- Aww, shucks mate! Thanks....LOL! ...can't be all shop talk here, right? stylez rasta smoke Especially when you roll with a person/thread for a while, and they too share something extra beyond the 1-3 line ticker-tape responses! And the good Rvrnd. here has about as fine a BS shootin' 'coffee shop' thing going as there is 'round these-here parts!.... BTW, that shield design in your avatar, is it Greek, or maybe Roman? It's very cool!

Looking great Reb and as for that Death Star i remember last year you wanted to try it and its mega expensive glad you finaly got some even if it was home grown :smokebuds:

Thank ya Si!! Yes! You remember me asking around about that strain... I have to say it's more hype than anything. After being blessed by some way more potent (and I add way more dense and thick!) buds today I have to say Deathstar is a lot of Hype. Nothing very special about it at all. It's decent smoke but it's not something I just HAVE to have all the time... :smokebuds:

Nice, little `run`of goodness you`ve had there Reb!High 5. I read about 50 pages of a thread(on another site, last year) on the origins of Deathstar...It was most definitely getting talked about in hushed tones! :smokebuds:

Thanks krugg!! Yeah they must have a crazy wildfire underground because we were a bit disappointed as it's hype preceeds it... Like I said it's good but I'm not so bummed it's a clone only strain any more lol

I'm glad you got you some good stash, Rebel. Whew... no weed must suck bad. :no:


:thumbs: Those blissful moments when the experience is just f'n grand! Remember that feeling. Call it up often, and work it through the Heart!

Your Baby Weed looks real good! :smokebuds:

Noods, no weed is the worst... We were very blessed today and we will always be grateful! And it kicks Deathstar in the ASS. Thanks my friend. I haven't forgot about you! I need to get back to you and Alan's messages...

Good to hear you and Lady Reb got some bud bro the little ones have bounced back I see and are looking great. Sending some good karma your way bro.Leaving a karma clou

Thanks jay! Appreciate the Karma my friend!

Very nice variation of shapes of leaves

Thanks omnious! Appreciate you coming thru!

Howdy Rebel.

:thumbs:On the phone call and insight.

The carp comes to the rescue. Just try not to catch him. I can just see you all driving along with a carp.

The Deathstar looks to be a good smoke. Though your Ohio version may be different. Sensi star x Sour Diesel.

And it is highly rated--http://www.leafly.com/indica/death-star

BTY--I too have a few light green/yellow seedlings--Woops. Yours are looking good.

Mine in the smart pots look better than the ones in 2 gallon plastic containers. And I am hoping the others do not stunt, but, after looking at some old photos of 2 to 3 week old seedling--all does not look favorable.

LOL Alan it was indeed fun driving him home! For a half hour we had a Carp in the back seat smacking around in the box lol well, the bag inside the box! When we brought him to the pond it was instant LMAO! He didn't even chill for a second then take off... he was in a gone in a split second. Here's some Karma for you my friend! Hoping your kids turn around! Mine are starting to come out of it... I hope I did the right thing tonight by doubling the dose at feeding! We shall see... Like I mentioned above... I haven't forgot about you! I will get back to your pm as soon as I can my friend!

:tiphat: Evenin', Rvrnd. What do you think? ...you got any kind of Fe supp'? Interesting how the photo's are nearly keeping pace with the autos, though that'll change pretty soon I suspect! Full speed ahead, Capt'n stylez rasta smoke...! Cool,... Grass carp are the lawn mowers of the fish world!...You lucky dog(s)! A choice fishing hole, unfettered access,...*sigh* LOL!...

:tiphat: Evening friend! I suspect they need a higher does of Grow A/B so that's what I've given them tonight... so we'll wait and see if I made the right call... Grass Carp are bad ass. For the way they can clean up a pond/lake! Also they way they can take over and deplete ecosystems... Yes, these Carp are sterilized for that reason and we only got one to see how he does in that size of a pond so a second one wouldn't starve... If need be we can always get another one! Yeah, sometimes going out of your way a little for a friend gets huge Karma points in return!! He's got a variety of bass... small mouth, large mouth, Bluegill, Red Ear, etc... Not sure what else... I have to ask him... in addition to Chargers!! (Snapping Turtles...) that took out a couple of his ducks... Which made the rest of them f*ck off to his Brother's lake LOL that isn't too far from our property... One is missing a foot... Needless to say if they can find that Snapper he's gonna be a monument! Not to mention the black snakes, toads/frogs, etc... Once ol' Grassy (Lady Reb named him LMAO) gets to clearing out some more grass we'll be able to go fishing without weed eating at the same time LMAO Yeah just like Meigs County... Hear about that all the damn time but never scored any...

Well done reb ...Deathstar ..
I'd smoke it !!!

Thanks swamp! Look out for the like bomb in Da Bayou!!! :beast:

What's up Rebel!? Some nice strains you got going on, never grown in coco, but I would imagine it would be similar to Promix being soiless? Anyway good luck with the grow! Missed you brother :hug:

JACKAL!!!!! Well, turn me upside down and paint me blue!! Dude!! I literally was just talking about you to the Wife last week! Wondering how you are bro! So great to see you back!!! Are you here for good now? I sure hope so!! Your presence has been surely missed my Brother and your skills as well... Bro this is my first time growing Coco and it's a learning curve but we're staying the course and learning as we grow as usual! Next run will be similar to promix BUT I still think it's much closer to Hydro as I've learned the hard way! Thanks my friend! SO GREAT to see you!! Missed you too man! :hug:

Waira your comments are, always, a pleasure to read.

Yeah they are for sure I agree!!

Update!!!

I have given the girls 8ml per gallon of Grow A/B and 1 Teaspoon of Myco Madness. The Coco has yet to arrive and the Voodoo Juice is also on it's way... Will get crackin' on something very special soon as they arrive!! can't wait to get that one started and I hope you all will join me on that adventure as well! The girls are doing well, getting greener and growing faster. I just hope I didn't f*ck up with this feeding... we'll see!

What's better in life than to get low and shoot the shit?! :group: Man, I tell ya what, we are sick and tired of this damn "Florida" weather round here! High humidity, fairly high temps, and storms every day/night... Thank the Ganja Gods I don't have an outdoor plot this year! :group:

 

[swampman]

Lol mm.
I felt it ...
Glad to see ya coming down bro ..
And dq little babies are coming along ..

Karma is good when it's good eh ...
And may it stay great with ya ma friend !!

I just hope I didn't f*ck up with this feeding... we'll see!

LOL! As you know, I'm a bit sphincter-winky about overfert'ing, so that's why I continue to harp on about the straight Fe sup's... until they look even greener, I may continue to carp about it! I know,.. impmyride: ooof! ...got some crackers for that cheese, crackah?! ...Since I'm half Japanese, I guess that makes me a ricecrackah! :roflcry:

He's got a variety of bass... small mouth, large mouth, Bluegill, Red Ear, etc... Not sure what else... I have to ask him... in addition to Chargers!! (Snapping Turtles...) that took out a couple of his ducks... Which made the rest of them f*ck off to his Brother's lake LOL that isn't too far from our property... One is missing a foot... Needless to say if they can find that Snapper he's gonna be a monument! Not to mention the black snakes, toads/frogs, etc...

Wow! that's a fine selection to work with,... I wonder if he's got catfish in there too... he should, as they're great clean-up crews for ponds,... and maybe something fun like Pike, or walleye, or *gasp* a freakin' lummox of a Musky! LOL! Whoa! better bring pliers and gloves! You know those brutes- they're the freshwater equivalent of Barracuda! Shit, bring'm anyway, if he has Snappers in there! Those are some interesting (from a safe distance) creatures, living relics from a time before dinosaurs were even squeaky little anklebiters... I remember seeing a pic from some museum that had a near complete fossil skel' of a Godzilla-nemesis size specimen- the carapace was over 13ft long alone! In Florida, a pet shop had a baby alligator snapper that was less than 2"! So, so cool!- it was a perfect miniature of an adult, including the foul, fearless disposition, the heavy, jagged shell construction, (remember Gammera from the Godzilla movies?) ,and the trippy pseudo-worm appendage on the tongue tip... :brow: Watching it sit stone-still and work that lure, then *snap!!* -oh, snap! ...with a few, sad, sparkly scales fluttering down to the bottom,... LOL!!- Nothing says f*ck off like pulling back a bloody stump,...damn poop-machine ducks!! You guys have copperheads that far north? Otherwise, the wildlife scene sounds great, Reb! Bring a nice head of lettuce for Ol' grassy next time you visit!
Simply put, mon amie, those girls are bustin' some moves, Reb! High 5 Gute schtoff!! LMAO!!- the people's unibrow!! And thanks for the pervy up-skirt shot of Sister Hairy Mary's truly dark side!! :beast: :roflcry: ... there goes my evening wood,...!! **** And a safe and Happy 4th to you and Mz. Reb too... try and stay cool, and I'll try to blow some of our coastal fog your way!! stylez rasta smoke

I'd have to say no on the Cats but I'm not 100% sure... but I'm no authority on fishing lol Same for Muskies... we have Muskies in the Ohio River... and In some streams and creeks I do believe (Sniper could tell ya!) Sturgeon, Carp, Perch, etc... many many more... I'm not sure on the Northern Pike... I wouldn't be surprised if we do but I don't know for sure. As far as snakes go Sir, we have 3 venemous snakes round here (and all the way up to NY as we had the same there growing up...) Timber Rattlers, Cooperheads, and the infamous Cotton Mouths (Water Moccasins) This is the Wild & Wonderful baby!!! We even have our very own species of Giant Salamanders... Bing a "Hellbender"... And as you see we have Crawdads... I was weed wackin' earlier and came across an Eastern Box Turtle that had buried itself in the mud on one of my hillsides... that was really cool! That was a shot of the website for ya lol Hope you had a great 4th man! We ate too much and smoked too much LMAO so it was good!! The girls are exploding! The Photos are out growing the Autos at the moment... The S.A.D. being the one in the lead. The GSC and SAGE are really taking off! Everyone is a green as they should be now other than the SSH... She's a tad picky but she's getting there! No pistils yet but we only get early pistils showing in ideal conditions and mine are definitely less than ideal! The coco was supposed to be here but because of the 4th it's delayed until later today...

Soon as the Canna Coco arrives I will be doing a test grow for S_a_H!! Totally stoked about this!! I will start a separate thread for that when it gets kicked off!! Also I am extremely honored to be sporting a Sweet Seeds Supporter Badge!! :grat: Very cool to be representing one of my very favorite seed banks!! Sweet Seeds truly has remarkable strains (this is not a shameless plug! It's a true testimonial!) S.A.D. is one of the strongest Autos we have ever smoked and Mrs. Reb's #1 favorite Auto of all time. Cheese is one of those "my precious" strains for me! Incredible tasting smoke and smacked up high to match! Black Jack is another favorite and one that never lets you down! I'm stoked to try Green Poison once she's done! Very cool to have Sweet Seeds here and to see AFN really expanding to bigger horizons! When I joined over 2 years ago we had dopeseeds and that was it... So I'm one of the lucky ones who have seen how far AFN has come. And I'm very proud to be apart of this community!! :hug:

Hope everyone had a Safe & Stoned 4th!! :thumbs:
