Citizen Bubba's law abiding grow box

the extra heat (to a degree) speeds up microbial activity and root growth due to higher metabolic rates

also, with the transplant - water the main rootball by hand the first couple times until the roots expand a little into the new medium, this should help with the initial droop (can't depend on the blumat until the roots are drawing water from the area around it .... so it can dry out the rootball, even though it's surrounded by wet soil)

Thanks eyecandi, that's a great point about e Blumats, I'm headed out on a trip, but I'll give them all a good drink before I leave.

The folks on this forum are awesome. Thanks to all for giving me advice. this is not as simple as I had originally envisioned

happy to help bro.

this is why craiglist is full of used equip for sale .... some think they can just toss those weeds in some soil and it'll grow and produce big massive frost covered buds all on there own. it's not rocket science for sure, but there are a lot of quirks and techniques to make everything happen the right way. most you find out through trial and error, some from things you pick up on the net. just never be afraid to ask, there are a lot of knowledgable and helpful folks on the boards. but there is also some BS out there as well, so always count on your own research when it's important (soil and fert techniques, pest management, climate control come to mind first). persistance and good friends will get you far

There is so much awesome gear on CL it's just stoooopid.

So, back in town. Most plants are doing better. I've harshed the Dank5 so bad I don't see how it will recover, though the top 1/3 of the plant is green and growing. I think I found a pre-flower on one of the Snow Goddesses, or is it just wishful thinking? Right in the juncture of the 7th node I found two fuzzy white hairs....

Def a female!!

Sweet . It's also a different pheno from the other 2 Snow Goddess plants that are the same age I think. This one is spindly compared to the others. Maybe this is the CBD pheno.... The 303Seed guys did say to look for the fast flowering pheno with purple/maroon hairs.

Now for the bad news. Bubba's old lady put the kiebash on his construction of a veg/mother cab. She correctly pointed out that I would no longer be within the letter of the law

So, I have my lame little clone box that I built until I can figure something else out. I'm thinking about chopping the Dank5 and putting it out of my misery. And then cloning this plant and one other, if I have another female. I know that taking clones from a flowering plant is not optimal, but will it work if that's how I have to go?

Don't forget sir, that you are allowed 6 plants (3/3) for every person over 21 years of age in the house. So remember to include the wifes 6 plants in there too.

Thanks True, here's the deal, I signed my 6 plants over to RiverRock in January in order to get access to the CBD pills at an affordable rate. I'll be remedying that in May now that the rules changed such that you can only change MMCs every 120 days (I thought it was 30 days... thats what the form still shows btw on the registry's website). So, in reality, I'm already growing her plants


Honestly though, I'm leaning towards a strain more like the R4 for my CBD needs. And maybe something semi mellow for my THC needs. Then if all I want is a CBD dose, I can do so without worry that I'm getting more THC than I want. And if I want the combined effect, I'll just mix them.

O i c, brings up an obvious issue though.....
You as a patient are allowed your six plants, but those are signed to the disp.
You as a person over 21 years of age in Colorado are allowed six plants, your wife is allowed 6 also. None of these rights have been signed over to anyone. Doesn't that mean you are allowed 12 plants?
I am sure you have no interest in a jury of your "peers" deciding this for you, but another little loophole....

BubbaG your garden is looking G

"...strikes deep, into your heart it will creep. It starts when you're always afraid..." Here on the playground we get lots of advice. Just when I think that my grow is within the letter of the law someone posts something that makes me rethink it and next thing I know it is downtown 'Noid City. Clone-veg-flower stages are a gray area too, I am counting the recently moved plants in flower as veg stage because they don't have flowers yet. Met a guy yesterday who told me he is limiting his grow to "only 99 plants" because of fed law. Not sure how this will go if he gets a visit. Anyway, good luck with your decision and too bad the bride isn't onboard. Mine isn't either and if she knew that I was counting her as part of the plant count, well, it would not go well. In fact my wife has not even seen my 'project' and has no idea how much fun it is.

Luckily my wife is ok with me growing her plants too. She also hasn't been down to my room though, just sees when i bring a finished plant up to harvest.
The 99 plant rule is to avoid the mandatory minimum of 20yrs if caught. I believe its 99 or over though, so 98 is a better number.
Not going to go well in a court and even if medical there is a fair chance they will never let the jury hear the word "medical".

personally, i'd give D5 a little more time and patience. even vets make mistakes ....... last month, I did this to my girls by forgetting a simple rule (don't canopy spray when the HID is full on .... use dimmed lighting until dry), took a week to start bouncing back and since then put on a lot of new growth and this month they are fully recovered, finishing and growing like mad. the Malawi regrew heavily and stretched 3-4x (she'll be a 14-16wk finisher for sure). C99 and an Italian Chocolate are finishing this week with final results looking very promising.

Hope production has caught up to consumption again EC.
Heres a pic of the Durban that you had the sample of....

And that is why you always trim the lowers, i let this clone go au natural.
Sorry for putting the picks here bubba, but everyone else was......

Bubba your grow is looking awesome. I say give that D5 a little more time. When I start losing an orchid or it gets sketchy it doesn't make to the garbage can until it's totally dead. BUT if you have another plant to fill the spot then it's your call. Heck I even struggled with throwing out the little boy I did. I just like plants.

Trueno - that Durban is totally and completely INSANE!!!

That things a fireplug lol. Sweet.

Thanks guys. So do you think I should trim the bottom leaves off the D5? They are pretty sickly looking and the new growth seems to be struggling to get some light underneath. Just seems like it would feel better with the yellow stuff gone....

I would pull the leaves that are touching the soil, other than that i personally wait until the leaf itself wants to fall off before pulling. But it is your plant, and you can learn a lot by butchering a plant and seeing what it does in response. I often learn far more from killing a plant than a successful grow.

what T said cut/pull the ones touching soil, it attracts fungus/rot.
