New Beginnings for Massachussetts and I

What the hell is happening?! I was also pretty sure it was down forever and I was going to get vanned.

Good morning all ... great to have RIU back up. As I understand it their server and their sys admin crashed at the same time

Since there still seem to be some issues some issues with the server, I thought I'd post this info sooner rather than later.
There have been some questions about US seedbanks that are reliable and take credit cards, and I found one recently that has a decent list of breeders that it represents and will make an effort to get what you want if they don't presently stock it.
Check out https://www.thedankteam.com/. They had the Dynasty Genetics Platinum Huckleberry Cookies I had been looking for for months (in a sealed breeder's 10 pack) and sent along 8 bonus seeds that were a complete surprise.

Ahhh, okay. I just read in another thread they only have one admin, so that'll happen.

So, I started supercropping, and one of my plants really didn't like it. I might've broken the stem in a bad way/too much. However, the rest of the plants exploded with growth. Also started trimming the bottom growth and stragglers. I felt terrible about hurting my plants. :sniffle:

Also, built what I was GOING to use as a 3x3 lighting rig. Then I found the heatsinks weren't enough and blew a COB. Should be getting heatsinks from heatsinkusa today and finally getting my flowering rig up and running. The babies are growing under t12s, and it's slow going because of it.

Also also, I recycled a bunch of broken 2x4s and am building tables with 8" sides, so I can put plastic over it and use as a tray. Zero cost asides from time cutting and sanding and painting and then assembling like Ikea furniture. I wish pictures were back up because I'd really love to see everyone's set ups.

For how many days this time I wonder?

Ooof, welcome back from the 10 days of hibernation! How's everyone doing?

Glad to see you Folks

@sunni said something about a hospital stay. I hope they're feeling better; the site being down sucks but that pales to insignificance compared to the possibility of dying.

feel free to read the "official report" https://www.rollitup.org/t/ddos-attack-pictures-down-time-etc.934907/

Glad to see we are back. I thought we were down for good.

Hi everyone! OMG, I hate withdrawal!
Sending good vibes and wishes to the RIU website manager for speedy recovery.


Update: got my auto white widow seeds from Be4MeLiz.....and my little one "Wilma" is doing great. Got her in FFHF and RO soil, watering with PH6.5 water and liquid seaweed.

PICTURE HERE OF DAY 6

Im still searching for HubbaBubbaSmelloscope!.....

For anyone that is interested, I'm continuing to document my Blue Widow grow here https://growdiaries.com/diaries/994-dinafem-blue-widow-1st-grow. They're starting to actually look like plants! When Dinafem said they were slow starters they weren't kidding
I should finish building my 2 x 5000K @ 1050ma Quantum board light for the new 2x4x5 tent over the weekend so they should be in their new home, with some Black Krim tomatoes by early next week.

Ahhh, feels good to be back.

My ww fems are doing great without any help from me; I've been out of town for three of the past four weeks and will be out of town for 8 days again starting early next week. I'm going to wait till after my next trip to flip them, but in the mean time I'm going to start some ssdd, gogi og, and ninja fruit from seed for my next run. Added a mini tent for seedlings/clones/veg - mostly to keep the cats away - don't need them munching on the lil ones.

I am a newb myself, so take what I say with a grain of salt. Some say fox farms is great from seed to weed...others say it is to "hot" for seeds/seedlings, so start in good ol potting soil, then transplant UP to ocean forest. what stage are you at? could it be your lighting? what symptoms do you have? Nutes can burn too, I have never used them. Also I have heard ocean forest is so full of nutes you dont need any till flower. I wish we could post pics!!!!!!!!!

I use fox farms happy frog and roots organics myself.
