:ciao: Roddy.... I grew out Anastesia a few times now. i got a keeper mom..its got a good stone real good stone and the bud smell reminds me of rotten papaya/fruit, with trainwreckish overtones for lack of a better term... how long do you take your Anastesia??? 9-10 weeks or do you just check trichs and harvest by trich color???

Aloha
Squidweeeeee:fly:

 

[Ruffy]

like always, very nice to see.
i agree you put the bike in da greenhouse & it came out bigger, is that the idea for the plants? lol cheers bro have fun

 

[Roddy]

Heya PP, 7ge, Squidy and Ruffy...check out this OG :48: Yeah, I'm hoping for monsters now, Ruffy! :ciao:

I go by trichs and really am not sure how long she's been in there...around 8 weeks would be my bet, though! She's mostly cloudy with only a few ambers peeking out! I know she's been in there the same amount of time as the Somango, thinking both will finish very close together! :ciao: Squidy

Most of what I know, I've learned from right here, very good bunch! Appreciate the kind words, 7ge my friend! :ciao:

Hey PP, you're most welcome anytime! I'm just a short hop up 127! :ciao:

Be safe all, and watch for some pics of my new speedboat coming in tomorrow (new to me, she's an old scow now LMAO). Capt Roddy be takin me matey's out a tubin' and a fishin' for certain! ARRR!!

 

[7greeneyes]

you're gonna have a blast with thaT speedboat, Roddy,

 

[Roddy]

Heya 7ge, yes the boat will be fun...if I ever get it LMAO! Can't really complain too much, the guy's making sure all is perfect before signing over, I should get it Monday!

Been a very sick lad of late, hospital, pokes and tests. Can't breath, I woke this morning gasping for air. Not sure the issues, hope I get better soon. Not smoking right now, just vape.....but am home, that's a plus!!

Pics......



Yep, here's my new cloner and the fruits of my labor thus far, check out those roots!! Yeah, we're playing around with a few budding cuts, just for fun!

 

[7greeneyes]

I hope you're feelin better bud, that's no bueno bein poked and prodded, so tiring.

looks like ya got a new tray up, good stuff, keeper up and take care of yourself, bud.

eace:,

[Roddy]

:ciao: all, still breathing!! :clap: Went tubing last night, still got it, they couldn't throw me (I think they were takign it easy on this ol' man, but that's all good too) The heat has been something here, but lake living has it's perks!

Anastasia has been chopped! Basement has been cleaned and we're working to repopulate, none too soon with all this heat! Clones are planted and new cuts taken, many clones will be heading out the door later this week or early next...people are begging for the OG! Sweet, means we'll see how others do it! I have a buddha tahoe, a few satori, a few sssdh and some other fresh seedlings coming into size, new stock to grow out and learn!! Always fun here in Roddy's garden!!

its hard to breathe when temps are near 100 for anyone, especially us older cats. i carry the albuterol puffer, just in case. hope your all better now roddy? been doing any fishing? i've been getting after them a little bit, not as much as i'd like...

digging out the basement? it always sounds like a great idea til you have bunches of time into it, and realize its not producing as it should for some reason, and woulda been best to stay in that spare room. been there, done that. was'nt one of my brighter ideas. lol. there will be mold! and lots of it the further into the ground you go under any structure. in the end, you'll have a nice spot to plant a ripper though! ...(just add cement!)

buds are looking great man...you have girls in the greenhouse yet?

 

[Roddy]

:ciao: Irish, doing better, THANKS!! It's funny, I still feel sooooo young at times, only to be reminded of my true body age abruptly and rudely! It's not stopping me, I'm going harder than ever! we went out tubing again the day before last, I caught serious air a few times and am still to be thrown (good group, my neighbors)! Sore?? Oh HELL yeah, from head to foot...reminds me I'm alive!! :yay:

We went kayaking last night and ended up chased by the boat cops LMAO...was until 4:30am until we could finally ditch them and head home,:bolt: what a blast!!!! We did nothing wrong, really, and only eluded to avoid hassling with the mmj aboard...and for the thrill!! We were quite loud while sitting a couple hundred yards off shore and kinda sorta nearing yacht club waters....yeah, a lady did come out and check her boat as if we were crooks LMAO! Nah, just having too much fun too close to shore. :holysheep: Boat cop had no chance, we were watching him looking for us...too funny, especially old men like ourselves! Recent break-ins, boat vandalism and such have made residents anxious, can't blame them (and while I love freedoms, the days of leaving $400+ tubes and such laying on your beach are past, if you value them and your sleep, smart people put them away...be safe, be smart, people. Leaving signs you don't value your money only tends to invite further theft. Would you leave your wallet on the shore all night? ok, off my soapbox). We never came near enough to shore or boats though, their concerns were for naught.

Basement digging was a thought we've thrown around several times over the last couple years...not likely gonna ever happen, especially with your insight, THANKS! It works at the MI basement depth now, we'd be foolish to try to fix that which isn't broke! Good info, appreciate that!

Greenhouse...well, there's some in there (21), but I'm shuffling in and out at this point! The vegging gals tend to stretch a lot in there, but the growth is amazing and fast, we can veg monsters ready for flip in weeks instead of months...as it's looking right now! I do plan to fill it with around 6 or 8 gals around the end of July for budding, they'll still get large and should do quite well. We'll then throw in as many clones for a second greenhouse harvest around first harvest time (Oct?), thinking we can use it until Dec...might have to add a bit of heat. Thinking a nice floor filled with 20 or so clones should make for a nice after harvest harvest :rofl: We'll see how that works, my plans never seem to pan out!

The storm that rolled through yesterday really gave me an idea of the greenhouse's strengths and weaknesses, standing inside trying to make sure it doesn't fly away in 65 mph winds with lightning crashing dangerously close was not fun. It did well, no damage at all and the gutter system filled 2 15gal crocks with pure sweet rainwater which was then used to feed the gals with!! Storm wasn't a direct hit, glad we didn't get the golf ball sized hail...

 

[Roddy]

Another chop night, here I present to you Somango by Soma:



OOOPS...Blackie was playing with the string....

I took several other pics, none but these came out...still learning the settings and such. Oh well, all good...same bud, different perspectives! There's 6 like that one, all about 18"-20" long and a pop can in diameter. Smell has gone from a lemony scent to pure mango, very sticky with the smell filling the room.

 

[powerplanter]

Some good looking meds. Roddy. Well done .

 

[Roddy]

Appreciated PP, :ciao: How's OH these days??

Gonna be a slow down now, no new gals for harvest for a few weeks or better...we're OK, though! Something went horribly wrong with the clones, lost every single one...they drooped as soon as roots hit soil and have not recovered. Only thing I can think of is the soil I use suddenly had a different smell to it and thinking it may have been contaminated. Only thing I can think of, we have 30 more OG cuts rooting, so we're gonna try fresh soil and see what's up!!

 

[SquidyPacheco]

Roddy :ciao: glad to read you're feeling better... your boat adventure sounded fun.. i picture a smile from ear to ear on your face... i have had clones do the same thing from a areocloner into dirt.. the time it happened to me i was using new light warrior ff .. i think for me i let the rootballs get to big befor transplanting and lost them when they hit dirt.. not sure why that happens every now and then.. you probably are right about the dirt..

I always love checking out your GJ .. its a very motivational read and got great pics... its like looking at a MJ Playboy magazine.. :rofl:

Plenti Aloha To You And Your Ohana
Squidy

ps the Somango looks soyummy... lol id love to get a cut of somas hawaiian affy male.. is so mangos daddy somas hawaiian affy male??

 

[PartyBro420]

Those buds are nice and hefty! how are they for density? looks like a fine harvest great work as usual Roddy!

I'm hoping to get about 4 or 5 of those pop can sized nugs off my ladies, then it's off to the races again to start my next round!

next go round i'm gonna do just 3 plants, 3 different strains though, and i'm going to stagger their growth so I have a consistent harvest every month.

 

[Roddy]

Heya Squidy....we're over teh loss already, took enough cuttings to make us happy a second round and are waiting for roots...we'll get her right or they'll die trying :rofl: :ciao: and ALOHA....how's that surf??

The Somango was a smaller yield, only 3.5 oz....but wow, the smell! She promises to be some good smoke!

Heya PB

Gotta love big thick colas, nice! We're playing around and seeing what works best, but always love mega-colas!

Staggering will make for some fun, different strains too...nice! Will definitely be watching, my friend!!

Downstairs is full full full, 15 gals of various strains in there, all nice and HUGE (of course) and all very nice and lush...we're back on the game now! Upstairs is empty, sadly, but we're working on that...there are several seedlings in there, just not too many clones...some did survive though, they're looking sad, but we do have a few live clones...none are OG :doh:

OK fun stuff time...here's my boat!! Now, keep in mind this isn't much to look at, but it is all mine and really, the first speedboat I've owned (several fishing boats, but none for skiing)...she's not much, but she's beautiful in my eyes!!

Pure Pleasure:



You'll notice she has some cheap capt chairs in front, we'll be replacing those with the original as well as repair the floor under the passenger side chair. She's set up for fishing, but man does she boogey, 40mph, tubing will be great...especially since she's a corner carving machine, whip city! Roddy hasn't backed a damned trailer in YEARS, so we're gonna go out and practice a bit, hate to look the rookie and hold people up at the launch.

Lake has many shallow areas, my experienced guide screwed up and allowed us to drift into one, then allowed me to start her up....ooops. Prop was a bit dinged, but not bad and we're happy to learn without too much damage...poor guy felt bad, but mistakes are made, glad we can take away from it. I'm positive it won't be the last before I get it all down. Waiting for my bud to get around so we can go out and chart some more.

Capt Roddy...out! :ciao:

 

[7greeneyes]

Awesome man, great boat..good times ahead for sure.

Enjoy...

 

[PartyBro420]

I've been recently trying to trade my truck for a nice boat. So far no luck though. 2007 f-150 i figure ought to trade towards something I can sleep in on the water.

 

[Roddy]

If you're comfortable with Craig's List, check that or even list yours there. That's how we found this one and the others my neighbor has bought in the last month (guy was boatless, now has 3 LMAO). He picked up a Four Winns w/cutty and camper cover for very cheap....under $4000 total with the minimal repair work needed. I saw a 19' Bayliner hardtop cruiser w/cutty for $1995...but has an old outboard (gas hog), just to give an idea what you may find in your area.
