Back on track with Sebring's Revenge and 5 others!

[LabRat]

This is about the biggest Revenge girl. Already got more on her than the best CBD girl I grew before. The others are much the same. Think it would be worth my while to lollipop her at this stage of the game, 31 days in?

You were saying @Shadey thet the ISS were getting pretty frosty. Check out how it’s building up along the edges of the leaves. They are all doing that quite a bit. The buds are stacking up the whole stem now. Must be why they have such thick stalks.

Different plant same sugar. Gonna have a mountain of keif!

Can actually see some of the pink pistils on the Hindu kush in this shot. Just some of the very top ones but no where else.

Moved all the plants around and did a lot of 'nanner hunting that came up empty.

Wife saw 3 coyotes in the front of the house so I went out with the shotgun and LED spotlight. One of the cats got out behind me and the wife got her back in but I didn’t know that until later. At the edge of the woods near the carport I saw eyes glowing in the brush only 15yds away at most and was just about to blast it but then thought it might be the cat so held my fire. They’ve been hanging around a lot lately and the dog is barking all night.

Speaking of Timber here he is a couple days ago. 9 1/2 months and not getting any bigger.

They are all looking good and frosty, I am so dissapointed mine transgendered on me. l won’t bother with that # pheno anymore and try the one you’re growing out.

Getting some nice size colas on the sebs rev, for only half way there.

Timber is looking good, he looks like a collie size.

[HaRdRoC]

Nice and frosty already!!!

Same LabRat from Cannabis Culture forums or another? Just curious I thought I recognized the name

[Shadey]

Yes it is…

The one and only since 1988 for better or worse!

From 2009 at CC until it’s demise last Jan.

Should I apologize now?

[LabRat]

Overdue for an update here. A lot of running around lately and got a new computer that is sucking up a lot of time. Going from XP Pro to Windblows 10 is a bit of a jump for an old fart like me but it’s coming together. Not a bad machine for $250.

MSI Z170A Gaming Pro mother board, water cooled Intel Core i7-6700K @4GHz, Zotac GTX 950 2GB 128BIT GDDR5 video card, 2 X 4G DDR4 2400 RAM, 1T SATA drive and a 500W PSU. Was left at the shop 3 years ago for repairs so I got it for paying the bill. Don’t much like the case but I can replace that later. CPU runs really cool at 32C compared to around 70C in my XP machine.

Tweaking Win 10 to keep it from spying on me has taken most of the time. Got rid of any cloud stuff and M$ One Drive. Disabled M$ Edge and got rid of Internet Explore then replaced them with FireFox and a fresh version of TOR on a thumb drive. Avast anti-virus snuck Google Chrome in on me and I looked for additional software before installing so wiped them both out with nasty comments to both. A$$holes!

$425 for exhaust repairs on the car too so the VISA card took a beating this week. lol

Anyway, on with the show!

The girls are coming along at 45 days. Had the light off for a day to reset the time to 11am - 12pm from 11pm - noon. Been doing 13on/11off. As soon as I’m done this post it’s down to the dungeon to water them all and tie some up with bamboo stakes before they all start falling over. Getting some heavy bud formation going on that needs support.

The ISSxBB are looking good. I definitely want to cross the big one on the left with Big Purp in the middle and see what I get out of those. Lots of resin for sure! The other two are OK but not as nice as those two girls.

The whole group. The Sebrings are doing a lot of yellowing even tho they have showed signs of nute burn for a few weeks now so I’m hoping that means they will finish soon so I can get started on cropping some. Trichs do seem to be clouding up. I took a bud off each a few days ago to test for CBD and will try to get that done this weekend. Will run to town today to check the mail in case my sodium thiosulfate is in then I can prepare to make some STS and start some of the small plants resexing.

Speaking of the small plants I did a major defoliation on them on the 11th. The ones from Big Purp are the first two on the left and I got a little carried away there I think but I want to force them to side branch which they do not do much of. Couple more ISS then the two Ayahuasca Purples on the right.

5 days later and they are slowly filling out but at least surviving. I also want to slow them down so they can stay in the small pots longer until I can evaluate their mothers then decide which are keepers then repot those.

Found a nice tray at Canuck Tire that fits all 24 little pots with an inch to spare top and side so I can dump 2L of water in there and let them soak it up. Bit tall so I may carefully cut it down an inch shorter than the tops of the pots.

No more weird spots on top leaves and the RH has been dropping a bit so hopefully no bud rot in my future. Still rainy but clearing up and getting hot again which may push up the RH but not much to do about that. Wettest summer in 40 years they say.

Off to water those thirsty girls so C’ya all L8r!

[Shadey]

Whats going on Lab, you been quiet for a bit, everything OK?

LMAO just about to hit post and you post something.

[Shadey]

The puter was a great price, especially for water cooled, so what games are you going to play on it

I cant believe the exhaust was $450, but then I have not had to replace one yet, thankfully. The plants are looking great. My Sebs rev has started yellowing as well in a few lower fans, I was not expecting them to do that at 5 - 6 weeks. Getting used to all these 10 week flowering times, with the light leak Fck ups.

I’m not into gaming much and hope that I can get my 3D Asteroids game to run on it. Old game but I like it. Might have to invest in something like Quake but almost all the games now are online and you have to register to even play on your own. Hate the way they make you get involved with their cash-grabbing spyware BS to do anything these days. May just get me a good Linux distro and get rid of Windows altogether.

The exhaust job would have cost a lot more if he replaced it to code. The catalytic converter was full of holes as was the flex pipe section. Don’t need the converter BS any more so he removed it and patched up the flex section with lots of muffler cement, tape and clamps and made a pipe section to join everything up. Would have been closer to $1000 as a new converter was over $400 alone. If it lasts for a year that should do it as the car probably will wear out by then too. lol

Wife went to town and nothing in the mail so will do the CBD testing on my Sebs samples over the weekend.

My seeds shipped from @Sebring so something else to look forward to. No sign of the lost fishing gear.

Thirsty girls calling so will be on later.

Yeh that will do it, from what you described before as the back end of it hanging loose, I thought it was just the middle to end of it. Not the whole thing being shot. In that case you got away lightly then.

Bummer with the fishing tackle, that would have been a miracle if it had been still there though .

That computer could play any game I own on max settings so I think you will be safe for astereoids you could certainly over clock the graphics card a bit, or a lot, if you got a water cooled heat sink for it and add it into the system. I cant believe its only 500w PSU running it. These new high end cards are much more efficient now on the power they need.

My PSU is 850W, I think my graphics card needs a minimum of 500W to function properly, mines the 750Ti version of yours and has 4GB, its about 2 years older as well, probably why it needs more juice.

[LabRat]

Holy crap doing battle with computers can take it out of you!

Finally said fuggit to Win10 and installed a very old, pre-SP1 version of Win7 on a different 1T hard drive and when did I had no USB so had to dig up an old PS1 keyboard to get something going. Used my XP rig to download drivers for the motherboard, burned them to DVD and used that to get the drivers onto the new PC. That took a full day!

Then over 120 windows updates to get it up to speed but it’s working great now. New version of TOR and even managed to get my old bookmarks installed on it so that’s fresh and new as well. The drive with 10 on it is now my storage drive tho I can just switch boot drives in the BIOS to boot 10 if I want. I’m using it to post this now.

Had to do some re-arranging to fit everything in but it’s still a work in progress. Satellite TV on the far left with OG on the middle monitor and the last view of the Win10 start screen on the right. Do not like the case the new one is in so will have to hunt for a replacement. USB, headphone and power buttons on the crappy rounded top. A nice square one like the old case is what I like but need one that can take the water cooler so will check with the lad I got the PC from for a used one. Maybe he’ll tale this one in trade. Some people like that kinda crap. lol

On with the main attraction!

Big Purp, (aka ISSxBB ‘A’), is looking good at day 52. Hoping they all get a lot fatter the last couple weeks. Hairs are dying fast but trichs still almost all clear. Lots of them too. These plants really frost up!

That’s the ‘D’ version behind it. Just as frosty but different.

The D

AK47

One of the Sebrings. She was a little dry when I took the pic. They dry out faster than the ISS girls and are in the same size pots even tho smaller plants. Touchy about nutes but all got a bit burned. So much better than the other CBD girls I grew.

Other pics didn’t turn out and it’s after 3am so I should turn in. Hard day in the depths of PC hell again today but almost there now.

Oh yeah. Got an email from the company I ordered my sodium thiosulfate from and they said they can’t ship to a person. Must have a company and number of some kind. Charged me and that put my card overlimit and cost me a $29 fee. Grrrr!!! Anybody know where I can get some? Preferably Canadian. Dying to mix up some STS and pervert some virgin girls!

Last night’s lotto tickets were duds to boot dammit.

[Shadey]

I was surprised when you said you were installing win 10, I was going to say you will hate it lol but thought you might fair better with it than I could.

Plants looking great, the AK is going strong, my plants stalled for a week, as the light was on 24/7 for all of last week, thanks to a theiving squirrel, knocking the timer of the shelf. They are picking up again now.

[LabRat]

I didn’t install 10. That’s what was on it originally and the guy at the store did a fresh install with all the updates to wipe the previous owner’s stuff.

Near impossible to plug all the privacy holes windows has in 10 and 8.1 too. I found a good tweak program to easily switch everything of like the Cloud and One Drive but it’s near impossible to even disable Edge and Bing much less delete them.

I have a lot of older software I want to be able to use so installed the 32bit version of 7 Pro. A few years ago I set up a drive with XP Pro 64 bit and a lot of stuff wouldn’t work. Don’t think it matters much as this thing is wicked fast compared to my XP rig.

The only issue is the amount of RAM the two versions can use. Max 4G in 32bit and up to 192G with the 64bit version. I’ve got 2x4G sticks of DDR4 installed but only 2.22G usable. I don’t really run anything that needs a lot of ram so it’s not an issue other than I like to tune things up.

I may just install the 64bit version on a different drive and see how things work with it. Then I’d get use of the 8G I have and could bump it up to 16 for $50 or so.

One of the Sebrings is getting purple now too. Glad I’ve got two clones of everything to be able to mix and match. Or will be able to if I ever get some sodium thiosulphate. May just have to make that myself too.

I found it on Ebay, hope it helps …

@LabRat

I lost a lot of my easy to use photo editing software and several games when I went to 64 bit, the compatability tool is worthless.

I have 8 GB on my PC works fine, I was going to up it to 16, but I found no need after using it a few months.

[LabRat]

@George

Thanks George but I got a bit coming and want to find a Canadian source. I’ll be good for a while and will be going out to BC in a month or so and for sure can find some out there if I haven’t by then.

I can find lots on Amazon . com but none on Amazon . ca. Same with the silver nitrate.

Bitch of a time with the new computer and network issues but I finally got it going. Retiring the old one this week.

[LabRat]

@Shadey

I have 8 GB on my PC works fine, I was going to up it to 16, but I found no need after using it a few months.

Windows Pro 32 bit can only use 4G so the 2.22G I have available is probably all that’s left after overhead so getting 4x1G ram probably won’t make any difference. Seems to run fine and if I ever start doing stuff that needs more ram I can always boot Win10. Then 2 more 4G sticks would give me 16.

I want to start chopping plants ASAP! 57 days now so I’ll be checking trichs tomorrow.

Anybody else getting a blurry mirror image of what they type in here? I am and I wonder why.

[Shadey]

No, I think you’re drunk Lab or need glasses.

Get them down and dried so you can go away without worrying, a few days early won’t hurt. You can make it up in the cure. You’re making oil with the sebs rev are you not?

Not drunk. I’m done with booze. Had a couple good shots of everclear the wife got to make vanilla with and got violently ill. Was barely starting to catch a buzz. That was Fri night. Felt great the last couple days and woke up early morning with my gut problems back real bad. Settled down now.

It’s got to be some sort of graphics glitch with my rig I guess. Never happened with XP and on the same monitor hooked up with DMI.

Got Avast anti-virus and it’s a real PITA!. When I shut down TOR last night it popped up a box and said something about Rollitup and TOR. WTF! Then I couldn’t get TOR running tonight until I put Avast in passive mode or shut it down. Runs fine without it.

I need a better AV. Anybody got any tips?
