Nice looking girl - I note that its been bout a week & a half since last pic's. Hows she doing now? Is she an only child?
BTW, Liked the fish shots - I am addicted to the outdoors & fishing is one of my fav's. I live less than 1/4 mile from the gulf of alaska & regularly bring home halibut fishing in our boat less than a mile from our house. I'll post a couple pics tonite.
Life is very good.
Peace

Thanks for stoppin by! She is an only child, at least for now anyway. Me and a buddy are workin on rootin some clones atm. I got super lucky with this one, first gettin the seed, then takin my chances on just starting the ONE and praying it turned out female, which it did. She's been bein a bad girl for the last little bit and i've been nursin her back from some ph problems which locked her up for a bit but she's gettin better finally. I've yet to find anyone on here that has heard of the strain, and it's only come around these parts once, just once. And it was definately some of the best ever! I'll try to get some pics up tonight too.

It must be sweet havin such great fishin and huntin sooo close by. I really would love to get a chance to come up ur way and do some salmon fishin on the kenai:hump: if only once. I'm kinda stuck here in the city till huntin season comes around and i can get away for a few days at least. Right now I'm just itchin to go try to fill this turkey tag i got, but it's 150miles to my area and works around here has been nearly non-existant for us carpet guys so I don't know if i'll even get a chance to go. I may just have to save up whatever i can for the deer hunt coming this fall.

Dude, I feel your pain - I know that I'm truly blessed living here (Picture a giant island off the coast of Alaska where the bears get unfuckingbelievablely big). Though I put in my time - 24 years in the military - retired & working again. No worries though, I fish & hunt as much as I want, and that is considerable !
Fact is I'm a class A assistant guide & that alone lets me get into the field just that much more. Ever get in my neck of the woods look me up, local knowledge is priceless in small towns.
Peace

Wow! sure would hate to wake up to that bear knocking on the ole tent door! Glad to hear there's still real workin-class folks who arent afraid to get their hands dirty. Like u were sayin, u put in ur time, so live it up! I've got quit a bit more time to put in myself, but i'll get there someday, or at least i hope. No worries except where i'm gonna fish or hunt the next day and keepin the wife happy. Keep it up man, ur livin a dream many will never have a chance at living as u already know.

Once again, my apologies for the shitty pics:cry:, no hd camera here, just my phone so please bear with me. The first two are pretty self explainitary... the third is one of the leaves that i've been having problems with for the last little while. It started out as a zinc def. from my ph being too high- over 8! I've got the ph back to around 7. But I've still been having to foliar feed DAILY(wich is scarey) with 1/2tsp of tiger bloom per gal. So far, that seems to be the only thing that's been helping the upper leaves green up again. If i skip the feeding for even just one day, the leaves return to their yellowing between the veins, only on the top of the plant:confused:.
The last two pics are a few clones. Believe it or not, the scraggliest piece of crap lookin one is the one with the roots, which are now growing out of control! The one rooted clone was actually first put in an expandable peat pellet, after 10 days it got all sorts of white stuff all over it. by then, I had put together a lil bubbler and the peat was hammered so i rinsed off the stem and put herin the bubbler. Next day, roots were definately growin! That's a BIG plus, as I've still yet to hear or see this particulair 'unknown' strain around anywhere and I really would like to be able to keep it goin. :hump:

Hey, Rich,
we met on another thread.
Definitely a Indica, but when it comes to soil growing, I am as dumb as a sack of hammers.
Going to a Bubbler was a great idea, and a much faster grow too. You'll like it better.

and we can not get any decent halibut in the S.E., just small strips and I do not think it is real halibut. Halibut pics sure made my mouth water, we loved it grilled on an open fire or grill.

Good luck with your grow!

Kinda wishin i would've went DWC on this one:cry:. But my hydro skill are limited to cloning for now. Never had a prob with soil until this one, i mean, nothin i couldn't fix ya know? Hydro definately has some BIG advantages over soil. Aside from the astonishing growth rates, u know EXACTLY what the plants are gettin so it's easy to figure out 'oh, my leaves are yellow and the EC of my Nitrogen is 100ppm, better add some N'. Soil takes time, something we sometimes may not always have to figure it out and then adress. I started by checking ph, wish was high(over8!) as i'd suspected, i flushed with 6.5 and got the ph back to 7. Since then ph has stabilized, and i've fed, watered, fed again... not much change?? The fact that this 'harry the 8th' is unkown, isn't makin it any easier. :neutral:tops2.jpg

Peace
