Baltimore Chapter 2 "The Wire"

Wow it’s been a while since I’ve looked in this thread. Plus side is lots of pics to catch up on! Very nice plants and harvest you just had! Congrats on getting some nice elites, I’ve been in a clone collecting mode too (along with too much JOTI in the group buys). I should be receiving my Mac cuttings tomorrow :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

We’ll one plant is down. The rest are in the home stretch. My Wedding Cake goes about 70 plus/or. I flipped 12/4 So we’re close as fuck. They’re sucking pots of water down. So I’ll feed for another week or u til I’m satisfied. That’s the thing if different cultivars in one space.

Good deal on the MAC1 clones. I’m happy to report that all 4 clones are alive and standing. However they did get frost bit a tad. I sliwkyvwarmed them then soaked room temp water, then domed. I’m not a this or that guy when it comes to strains. Sativas inflame my anxiety, but with my meds stable now, I’ll be glad to e joy some Lemon Haze. I got some of Bodhi’s Lemon Afghani.

Idk where I’m going lol. I’m already to reset and grow more. The bud is the end game but I’m captivated by just having grass thriving around me. The fresh oxygen has been great for me. Lmk how the clones go. When I’m healthy this summer I WILL be sending cuttings or rooted clones out. My health has hindered me this year. I almost died really. I’m humbled everyday and glad to be an OG member. Be safe.:pray::grin::v:

So there’s a seed swap in D.C. Like I need more. I honestly think it’s a green rush right now but I’d love to do this full time for keeps. I’m just trying to figure out the next move. Dig in here build a foundation here or move from at least outa town?

I’m behind on my new setup because I shocked the fuck wiring screw ins to a shitty cord. It literally caught on fire when I went to pull it. Lol. Zzzaap bitch! I’ve ordered new terminals and stopping trying to recycle old shit. I need LEDs that smash a 5x5 for as cheap as possible to get a big clean fun to upgrade. I have a few hundred bucks. I know I can’t get an HLG of close. PM me if you can provide and advice/help.

I need advice on cleaning my grow space of mites. The clones are isolated but can I akps the surfaces with pesticide then clean soap and :sweat_drops:? Heeelp! :laughing::v:

I just grabbed this one for my 5x5. My friend has one as well. I’m just using it for a veg light right now, dimmed all the way. I plan on using the 5x5 for a breeding tent. I’ve put the Kilowatt meter on it and it draws a true 450 from the wall. Lightweight and isn’t really warm. Paper thin as well. But let’s not ignore the $600 price tag… probably more than you wanna spend.

You could also get a few cheap amazon lights to fit a 5x5 area and get good results. I also just got my MAC in yesterday. We’ll have to grow along and compare!

Lotta guys run those spyder farmers. If they provide proper spec and ass behind it, should be great. I never know what they’re running in huge rooms besides hlgs or dluence stuff. EH LEDs are like 1400 for a 4x4 coverage. Holy fuck Bat-Man!

It’s like buying a escort to do a job of a 5 buck trick. Minus the fear of stds from both. Eeww! Lol. Yeah that seems like the way to go ya know. I have a nice shed and machining tools. I just need to build a big 10 bar fucker and run nice strips and a decent driver. That led build site is pretty cool. I was thinking about making a little 20 striped for my auto tent. I went with sils for now. Fuck it.

Good shit man. No frost bite? Sounds like a :trophy:. It’s 23f this.morning here. An extra day on the tarmac they woulda been done. That’s the game ey? Gobhard or grow shit.:poop::rofl::v:

Hey @Baltimore my brother! I got that MKage from our Scottish Homeboy @Gaz29 about 3 years ago. I wish I could find more. Straight up good weed! I hope you’re well and staying lifted on that pretty shit you been growing. Give your Mom my regards. It’s all love.

Blessings…

I was thinking the other day :thinking: why do I have more time in the mornings, now I realize you started a new thread and wasn’t seeing any posts. The dogs going to be pissed, walkies will be back to 30 minutes later again :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

I’ve been very down hearted. I know shit happens. As soon as I order clean clones. A spidermite infestation. Some plants faired better than others. Glad to see you’re well as well as my dude @oleskool830 . I do have those MKage beans. 110+ days that plant flowered.

I looked. everyone that said they drew that strain out never push it that far I look back as far as I can find and I had the light debit with a big heavy duty happy bag I think it was grown in a one gallon pot I got three solid ounces dried off of it Everybody was rock hard from top to bottom but some plants seem to do better when they’re lollipop than others?? Anyways.

I’m in the Middle of hanging some Wedding Cake and some Gary Payton. Glad to see you guys. Starting to isolate again. It’s a bad think to do when you’re in recovery. I like small things good to me this run is over and I have to clean and see if I can continue on unfortunately this setup is in part of my room so I live with these things I’m going to take another shot at it but I can’t deal with the spider mites hammering me like this.

Wedding Cake. Bout half hung from 1 plant. 2 more 1 gal plants and the rest. The one gals overall were healthier. Fuck it. Take good with bad. :grin::+1:


most of the lowers and stuff look about like this bud right here.

That’s bug thrashed. Ughh.

Here’s how bad they hit the Tropicana I’m afraid to even pull it out for real.

Hey Gary paid and turned out f****** excellent really resistant to the bugs I mean they’re on some of the fans but this plant pretty much survived intact!

Sorry I’ve been real shaky lately. Almost lightheaded and sparkling too much. I gotta go get another head scan. Headaches/migraines are so bad. Blinding. What I was younger I never understood what migraines were literally you have to pull the blankets over your head and stop the light from coming in. I have really bad PTSD and anxiety and a high sativa sometimes set them off. It’s a balance I think we all strive for. The perfect flower for “your head”.:grin::+1:

Here’s a strain that’s creating a buzz. It’s about a 60-70 day strain. Very petrol like on the Race Fuel OG side. The Tropicanna is deffinitely adding some gassyness. I thought the bugs would hammer it. Very very few bugs. Great reaistant plant and easy grow. I’m gonna work this strain further for sure.


Here’s my Wilson Zero baby. I took a fuck ton of clones. Lol. I figured take clones when they root I’ll put them in a separate area spray them and a new soil everything cleaned I might give it a few weeks before I set the next run up I’m still waiting for some stuff from Amazon as well to put everything together just adding a little bit more space but I can’t open anything new up until these bugs are dealt with.

I love Oni’s gear. I’d like to cross my Bubba to the Trop. He calls it Military Chocolate :chocolate_bar:.:grin::+1:

I’ve been MIA. It’s been snowing and kinda in trim jail lol. Kinda playing Xbox. Kinda stoned of this bug grass. Looks like they better move quick before I’m in their ass. I’ll freeze my fans out back then whip big buckets to run through the bags. Little fuckers are gonna be hash patties.

I figure I smoked shwag brick weed forever. I don’t enjoy saying this but I need my meds. Especially potent strains. They really help me with my body pain. I can never touch opiates. Every now and again I take a Tramadol. Not often. So I “hear” generally darker plants container higher cannabanoids. I don’t know how true it is but it’s got me thinking about the helpful aspects again of certain strains.

You know strains come out so fast and furious nowadays is that you really don’t get that intimacy that people had back in the day where they were working strains for years and I get it progression is a cool thing. Necessary, I guess? I’m a bit of a old soul but who doesn’t like potent weed.

A lot of it’s really just boring in terms of just head charged.Imo a lot of the high potency grass to me smells like GMO or kind of deep buttery almost like warm garlicky oil. Mmm GMO. I gotta run some more of that. I’d love to make a press or a closed loop system…who doesn’t tho? Lol.

I’ll be through in the morning to see what you knuckle heads are up to. I’m glad to see you guys are all well.:grin::v:

Damn brother! That’s a hella infestation. Last time I had them they were almost that bad. After chopping the plants and cleaning that tent I hung one of these in the Shed.

image

No bugs since. I know it’s horrible and I’m prepared for the wrath of the organic crowd but…no bugs. You can’t be in the room with it for more than 4 hours at a time so if your plants are where you sleep, might be a bad idea. I’m so fuckin old I don’t care. What? It’s bad for me? Too late!

Blessings…

I use one of those in my quarantine tent. After I wash and submerge the clones for 30 mins in water, I put them in the tent and seal it up. Oh, it’s a plastic personal shelter tent, not a grow tent :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:. The strip is in the plastic take out container leaning next to the bin, so I can cover it and vent the tent.

Shit. Now that’s a quarantine for real. The bugs exploded when I introduced that small Trop plant. Mistaken ID will fuck you up. Even outdoor I haven’t hade a spidermite infestation that bad.

Really I need my own very large space.:rofl: I’m getting old, grouchy, no time for…now I’m being serious. Non common sense shit. No outdoor/indoor pets, no plants out to inside. Unless it’s a quarantined cut. Hoping to either get a double by myself here or getting out of Baghdad. I’m sure my bro would say leave the trenches.

Where was I. Sorry. Must have own “large area”. I need minimum space. I’m cool on a hammock with a house full of “:tomato:” lol. A massive flood table setup scroggin hard. Smoking big rosin screaming about "what’s a hot dab bro?!? Big Pack woods. I just wanna dip em like sherm in a bowl of oil then dust.

We were the first crackers stuffing Titans like a fuckin El Producto. Little dolers we were. Kids never saw a full sized Dutch or a Garcia Vega. Off topic but I’ve learned different zones smoke different blunts. If a blunt then leaf. Prefer a hempy cone to the head. 2 grams is a bit excessive. Nice 1/2 gram is cool. I try to stay awake these days lol.

Thanks for coming through. Night quarantine zone. I so badly wanna do a clone run for us Guys. I ordered a 25 pot cloner. So I’m making an effort to clean everything and give cuts out to whoever thinks they’ll make it. I’ve been waiting for a real Mac cut. The Super Lemon Haze is finnicky like Blueberry. Already see no hot ass soil. The Gelato33 is rooted. We’ll they all are. Got freebie clones.

Relentless’ Cherry Trop Cookies
Franco’s Super Lemon Haze. Hopefully get the ok to see about a SLHxFLC. In his honor. He seemed like a great guy. The Haze heads will be through to harass me. Lol I’m rambling as usual. That shoulda been my name. RamblinJ. Lol. Have a good one. Be safe.:grin::v:

It’s funny how lower buds are like tan lines on a plant. I’m sure all light acts the same on the plants but you can see where the light was blessing the stems all “day”.

Most people would harvest in stages if need be. I’m seeing that lollipopping plants is the way to go for me. It’s easier to manage for me and I’m not concerned with popcorn, however I have some really frosted out “good” trim to run if I could get making hash down good. Dry ice seems an easy cool way.

Anyways. Here’s some Scary Payton I took down. I can’t believe some plants were relatively unharmed. Probably from me over using pesticide early some plants fans retained some pesticide keeping them at bay. All I can say is God is good. You can’t always get what you want. Smart man that British fellow Jagger not God. Some think he is tho hehe.:grin::+1:

Lower Scary buds. I’m getting some shitty foxtailing in the mains. They’re about done they keep throwing white Pistils. This isn’t gonna be one of those plants. I’ve learned to take a plant when it’s screaming loud before it stops and goes the other way. When it’s done it’s done.

Ze Glove…



Noticed this plant was a 5 leader and has ruby red stems. What are they called? Petioles?

That’s underwhelming. Hahaha! Let’s see a couple more. This is Christmas for us non perpetual growers. About every three months and that’s if you’re cooking and have a good finisher. Let’s see :cake:!!!

Wedding Cake --she was my “big girl” I know altogether dried I got 1. I’m cool with that. We’ll see these nuggets are heavy for their size. Plus 2 more 1 gal pot WC plants. Nice Cake haul.:tada::birthday:

Ghetto drying.:grin::+1:


Camera does no justice. I’ll get some nice cured shots.

I bet the rosin off those buds would be so fucking dope. I can’t not run a cut every time, it’s like that. Hope you enjoy. I’ll get some good natural light shots when everything is dried good n trimmed. :drooling_face::v:

I’m still waiting for my MAC cut, my first package was stolen off my porch. I’ll send you one of you haven’t found one yet. Really wondering what happens to @TheShowMeHomie, been a while since he’s been on.

4 Likes

Oh my fucking God! Not only do they know who sent it to you. Hopefully all that’s cool. I haven’t heard from him in a bit. Get caught up in my life you know sometimes I think about everybody but I just don’t get a chance to go by everybody’s page and hit them up I hope he’s well wherever he is.

I know we had been speaking for a little bit and we were talking about taking breaks from post in a bit and you know doing a lot of sea trading and stuff like that is stressful Italians if you make it. I know I had asked him for a ghost cut and a Mac cut and I felt bad for afterwards. I’m just trying to get some meds for cheap that are potent I really have no intentions on making any money or any of this stuff for real.

Making money isn’t bad because I’d put it all into my setup. I just rather not go that route sometimes. That sucks somebody snatched that package man. I’m sure you’re eyeing your neighbors up if you have any suspicions? put another package on the doorstep and put a camera on it same kind of package same size hell even put the same label on it and set them up.

it was getting so bad here people were driving around and picking up all the packages that Amazon just wedges in your door when you’re not home and a guy had been hit a few times so you put a package on his front doorstep and when they picked it up it had one of those baby sex things that blow up and shoot pain everywhere covered her and her boyfriend didn’t paint and dye their hair and clothes and everything. Hahaha.

Yeah I hope everybody’s well though. I know jetdro 5 dropped out a while back. I haven’t heard from Pedro personally in a while. I need to get up with some people though. I didn’t mean to get up with Rico and see if he can help me adjust my soil for the next run.

I picked up some green sand and I was hoping maybe we could get it dialed in before I give it a go this time around. I trust his word over a lot of peoples as well as a few people on here all good info.

What?!..someone stole your package with clones inside???

It appears that way, no package when I checked, tracking said delivered and my aunt upstairs said she saw a package outside that day (don’t know why she didn’t just bring it in :face_with_symbols_over_mouth:). Good thing I’m in a legal state. Hope they were idiots and let the pack get frozen before opening it.

yeah the mfs aint playing fair. I got 1500 ladybugs be here in 2 days. You want couple hundred youre welcome to them. 1 ladybug eats about 10 mites an hour according to google. They will target the mites and feed til there is no food.

With important cuts at stake plus all the stuff you been working youre in same spot as me. Ive never used ladybugs but im not watching mites take my whole grow. Ive put spinosais ,neem ,insecticidal soap,maggies farm and trifecta on em now they just get pissed and take it out on plants. You see the news had a thing yesterday baltimore one the most bug ridden cities in usa now.
