what’s good fellas, first post here, just wanna say I’ve appreciated all the insight I’ve gleaned by lurking here. I’ve got two chem 4 x choc diesels going for a first grow, and they’re at 8 weeks. Couldn’t have made more mistakes as a first timer; from ph and lockout issues to overcrowding my tent, I definitely messed up a bunch, but these plants are resilient.

Anyone have any idea how long these generally run? I’ve just been giving her plain water for the last 8 days or so, and her leaves have yellowed rapidly in that time. Having difficulty gauging the trichs. Sorry for the crap pics, and any insight is genuinely appreciated!
Still lot of white hairs & could go to 10wk imo. I don't flush anymore or starve the plant like that. I lower the feed but never just plain water unless it's an organic grow. Also all those dead leaves will make your buds mold especially if your tent is overcrowded. I would check the insides throughly for mold & PM. The Choc Diesel I ran molded on me pretty bad but my conditions weren't as good as they are now. I gotta pop some Chocolate Diesel's soon for a fall/winter run, wont have to worry about mold as much

Hello friends. My apologies for being absent, life has a way of throwing us all for a loop at times. This year has been one that has really tested my heart and soul to its very core. Just imagine things being bad, then something else happens, then another something hits ya. You all know what I mean. Without going into great detail, one of the heavy ones is that my wife of over 30 years decided that we would be better off going our separate ways. So that was a BIGGIE right there. I have accepted everything that has come my way, it hurt really bad. But I have cleared the fog and am moving forward.

I am gearing up to move back to my home state. I have packed up 220 various feminized 6 packs that I will be auctioning off on IG to raise funds for the relocation of Useful Seeds. I will be taking all of my cherished cuts with me. Some of the fem lots will come with fem freebies, Useful t-shirt, hat, ect. I will also be doing a drop before the move as well.

Thank you all for reaching out to me, and thank you for the continued support. And for keeping our thread alive during my absence.

I saw someone mentioned 12 weeks for blueberries and oranges, does anyone have any other grow info? Stretch amount, finicky grow or easy, trainable, etc.. whatever feedback is welcome. Going to be my first of many useful runs and have a bunch of new elements to my setup this round so trying to be as prepared as I can be
My blueberry and oranges went 70 days nice big orange flavored with blueberry banknotes not finicky at all exactly double stretch

Great to see ya back! Hope you have a safe move back home. Would love to contribute to the relocation but I don't have IG. I don't need fem seeds, maybe I can buy a pack and you could send them to someone in need. I'll take a hat though ...keeping you in my prayers buddy!

Thank you very much, exactly what i was hoping to hear!

@Useful Seeds glad to see you are back and as boosky said, no apologies needed at all. I would love to provide some insightful words of wisdom that you haven't heard before but all I can say is sorry man that sucks. If your passin through the midwest on your way home and need something just holler. Any chance of throwing some of those auctions up on here? I am in the same boat as lester, would be happy to contribute but don't do the social media thing

Life is unpredictable man, after 30 years of growing I am forced to go on a hiatus due to medical reasons. I don't want to go on hiatus but my life is more important than farming at this point in my life. I hope everything works out for you useful, as I hope the same for me. Good luck.

Sorry to hear that news @Useful Seeds. I'm not into social media either, but would love to help with your new life in some way. Can someone explain to an idiot how the IG auctions work?
It's pretty casual. You just sign up for IG, follow Useful, and when he posts stuff you yell numbers bigger than the other people's numbers. Then when you win you send him monies. It's not a formal thing. Hopefully he does some here as well but if I recall he had some trouble getting traction with the auctions here.

I'm into casual! I made an account, but all I see is a bunch of pictures of Useful packs, no posts with text. Am I being too casual?

Click on “view comments”under the picture your looking at. You will see bids, mixed with random comments. When you bid, you tag the highest bidder by putting an @ symbol with their name and your bid so they will know they’ve been outbid.

@SonsOfAvery Stuck a Soulmate F2 under bloom lights 4 days ago. Not a lot of headroom, only 5', but she's got the whole 4x4.5' space to herself. It looks like she'll fill it.

I'd rather lower the plant than raise the lights!

Her sister still vegging in the wings.

Robust plants, I've got high hopes, lol!
They look great!
I can't wait to get mine under proper veg lights and see what I've got.

The bottom pic, looks quite similar to a cross I've made with the same Soul Mate dad, almost identical leaves and structure. I think that one could be a goji dominant one.
