Keep hanging out at AFN, you'll soon have liquid THC in your veins.
So far AFN gives back more than I put in... its like a ponzi scheme that actually works.

Seriously, journals make me a better grower.
I've got plants and containers packed so tight that it is a game of Tetris to get them out for photos.
I grumble to myself, but it is worth it every time.
There is always something I would have missed if I didn't take photos to update journals.
Plus it is fun to look back at the stupid stuff I wrote months ago, I'm still a crash test dummy, but a dummy with experience.
Like when I put my "Smart Pots" in the washing machine. Ooops!!!

And the huge AFN bonus: sometimes a really experienced grower will drop by and with a casual comment that makes a big difference. There are some VERY experienced growers here. Some are stealth with low rep, they don't waste time farting around with photos. You can't always judge a grower's experience from their AFN rep.

You are gonna have a 99% great experience here, few things in life are that good.

Mainly prescription drug overdoses too. Bummer.

Apparently as Americans age and carry extra pounds they ask for opiates to cope with with joint problems, back pain.... I wonder if the famously well fed Australians have similar overdose problems.

Chronic pain sucks.
Before I started vaping daily I had minor pain everyday. I woke up with pain. Old sports injuries and stuff.
Got an MRI and talked with a couple of docs who wanted to load me up with government approved chemicals to rot my liver, you know.. forever.

Fork 'em. Fork 'em with a giant fork.

Since vaping daily my back pain is completely gone. 100% cure, full remission. I blame it on Mephisto.
Best guess is the anti-inflammatory stuff in weed broke the cycle of chronic inflammation/pain and let things heal.
Since vaping daily, no back muscle spasms or pinched nerves, fewer and milder headaches, fantastic!

Other old injuries are better, less annoying.
I feel younger, stronger, more choices. How do you put a price on that?

Sorry @JohnnyShake, I was rambling. What is the latest news on your silicon comparison?
Rhinoskin vs Aptus Fasililator, battle of the century! Rumble in the Grow room.

Impatience and the excitement of a new harvest is part of it. I just sniped an early bud from Alien x Triangle and I was like a cat with catnip, I want to keep squeezing and sniffing that nugget. Amazing but undefinable scent.

I am noticing a HUGE difference between Fresh weed, dried weed, cured weed & early harvest vs late.
I might be the noisiest, but I'm not the only one. @Rhyce Saroni has said some good things about fresh weed, and he has a lot more experience.

After 4 Mephisto harvests I have so damn much weed that I am flushing some down the toilet to free up storage space!
Yet it is still heart wrenching to chop off early buds that are just about to swell and fatten up.
Give it a try, it is worth it. Right now I would trade 100 grams of cured Tyrone for 10 grams of fresh.

Everybody who bought on Black Friday got Tyrone Special freebies, right?
I hope a few people will sample early and share their experience.

Hubbabubba your sense of humor is awesome.. I'm obsessed with AFN. I read until my eyes can't focus. The community has been great. Glad I joined and started.

I know exactly what you mean and your enthusiasm is contagious.

AFN is fun but can be overwhelming, everybody has a different opinion on Breeders, strains, Lights, Nutes, Soil, Containers.
I remember read hundreds of pages and getting more and more confused.

The most important thing for a new grower is to drop a seed in soil. Any seed, any soil, any style.
Looks like you are doing fine:

I wish somebody told me that I don't need lights for the first couple of days until the seed germinates.
And a 25w CFL light is enough for one seeding. 25 actual watts is enough for the first 2 weeks after germination.
No fan needed if the light is about 4 inches away, and autoflowers don't need a timer, just leave the light on 24/7

All a new grower needs is a plastic beer cup, any potting soil, and seeds. Plant seeds 2 cm deep, water, then....relax
-3 day until germination to buy the CFL. Then.... relax
-2 weeks to choose a container, lights & nutes.

For micro grows a cheap, simple homemade carbon filter works pretty well.

My goodness, I write too much, nobody reads Playboy for the articles.
Let's get back to the porn!

SODK x Alien cuttings.... 25 days later

I think Mephisto cuttings have serious potential.
These have been REALLY abused. Over crowded, over watered, under watered, severely light starved.
This is their second attempt to flower.

I think they are trying to go Hydroponic:

I have no experience with hydroponics, can it do any good without an air pump?
Are those roots too brown, is that bad?

Yes, looks early Pythium root rot.
I cleaned the container and added fresh nute solution laced with Great White.
The Mycos might slow the decay enough for full flower.

Hey hubbabubba I know what you mean about the confusion. One thing may work for somebody and not for another person. I've read so many contradicting things. I guess you just have to be your own personal and see what happens. You've been testing that theory and its seems to be working out.

I'm doing hempy which is a poor man's hydro.. I know that you have to use hydro nutes or they say anyway. I'm not using an air stone in my res and nobody that I know of does for Hempy only DWC. I really don't know what to tell you.. I think it may be the start of root rot??. I hope my roots are growing like yours haha but hopefully white.... I know you aren't trying to do hydro but hopefully somebody can chime in with some help.
