My Summer's Grow

and like the phoenix you shall rise again -
I am a children’s book author and illustrator - and I post on Facebook and other platforms - this morning I posted this vignette (poem and painting) it must have been a message for you haha - I will post it here since it seems to have been a message for you :slight_smile:
Arise.
Arise a Phoenix,
and climb higher still.

Arise until,
your body complies.
Screech out loud,
claw at every cloud.

There can be no rest,
until your journey
is blest.

Lift up
from the mire,
draw ever closer
to your fire.

Arise young Phoenix,
arise anew,
past a wing and a prayer.
Birth rightful sinew,
and I’ll meet you there.

Don’t let your children start cloning
In a matter of weeks - I have gone from only doing the occasional cutting on a window sill in a glass of water to cloning my current grow

and turning my office space into a cloning / seed starting nursery
necessity being themother of invention a desk is transformed into a light stand

Coco mats are perfect for this project

and multiple propagation boxes allows me to have different clones in different phases of their early life before transplant

I have dedicated certain boxes for certain tasks - some are better at holding humidity and others are better at dryer cycles.

But the bottom fed coco mats are giving me RootPorn everywhere.

And my first reveg clone - one of my girls didn’;t have a big enough cola to start a cutting and it is one that I wanted to grow out this summer so I decided to try my luck at revegging a clone in flower


This is NE Cotton Candy Rock Candy - she had been in a plug for 12 days and showed roots so I transplanted her yesterday and she is perking up… @SilvaBack203
I will be growing most of my current grow outdoors and will see the differences of an indoor/outdoor grow on the same strains…
thanks for looking - and keep your children away from cloning :slight_smile:

This is how i eneded up running 35 living strains. I just could not let shit go. I wanted every seed every strain and every flower. I has taken me 3 months to learn to just LET GO! Of strains and shit. No more hoarding so let the new strains growing commence.

oops almost forgot these 2 in the Big tent at 38 days into Flower
Both these girls were long in stretching and went from the runts in the tent to the tallest gals -

First up is a special cross of RS11 x Divine Gelato - She is frosting up nicely and getting very dense and sticky - I have several clones of her growing and will be putting them outdoors for the summer.

Colas are filling in nicely

colors are coming out

I love the little nugs hugging the stem of the branch as you go down.

Next up is another special cross from Green Bodhi and Pure Breeding collab - Hindu Rootbeer x GMO x Hazy Kush She is the tallest gal and only 5 inches from the lights which are at 100% but no burning.

Beautiful structure

colors are coming out nicely

Thanks for looking - have a Great day.

Well, my new FGI Square3 light came today and I was able to install it - it is a replacement light for a 300w Cob that lost several lights and was getting old.
This was a steal - 300+ w dimmer, far reds Ir and was on sale for $225 delivered.

I was worried that I would have to wait till the grow was over in a couple of months but I couldn’t wait

I was able to do it without having to move the plants

Platinum Garlic x Biker OG is very happy with the new environment.

Now this tent is back to 800w -
You might think I don’t have a life, because all I seem to do is write poetry, paint pictures and grow weed - That is a pretty great life if you ask me haha

Moving right along - day 40 of Flower in the big tent and 30 in the small tent -

The new light in the small tent is making a difference and I am so happy I was able to install it to get the tent back to its optimal lighting coverage.

Thanks for looking - have a great Sunday.
