We do have great summers together riding and the winters are not bad 
we have some really nice parks here in new york state it is not all city
not 60 beans yet I did plant 15 GG#4 X and 15 Blackberry so planted 30
felt kinda bad dropping 23 beans and getting 6 of them to pop
so I did clean out my bubble cloners but did not take any cuts still no room
I am going to be building an 8 foot by 8 foot room to flower then take down
the wall to the 4 foot by 8 foot flower space
so my veg room will have 4 more feet which for me means more
plants
thank you stopping and be safe

Good Day a bit of Blah Blah Blah no photos I am at work and not having fun
working on a database, but for now it pays the bills
over the last two weeks or so I have been applying my self to grow and the
plants are looking better, the bugs at this point appear to be gone and the beans
they did poorly, they were old
I did get four of the Hash Bomb to grow so that is good and I did plants 30 more so I
will not cut clones at this time
I planted 15 gorilla glue 4 crosses I made with a male I like but have no
idea what is was 
also planted 15 Blackbery which is Black Domina and Raspberry Cough. not sure who it
came from but I will give it a roll
I picked up a couple of 73 dollar 1000 watt ballast off of fleabay and a couple new 1000
watt HPS double ended bulbs
I was using a couple of old purple 600 watt dail a watt lumatek ballasts but they cannot
start 600 watt ceramic metal halide bulbs
very soon i will be building an 8 foot by 8 foot separate flower room and gain
4 foot more space on my veg room
in the flower room I have been running two 400 watt lights, 1 HPS and 1 CMH which
have been working fine
not sure about in the new space, we will see
I have been thinking about going back to single ended bulbs and so I can run them naked
as of yet I have not figured out how to do this with double ended bulbs
but I have not worked all that hard at it
all the best and be safe

Wow, I just now read this thread, don’t know how I missed it.
I miss the Adirondack Mountains, spent many backpacking adventures in that beautiful
part of the country. But, I just realized that I have not been to the Adirondacks since around 1978 or so. I would frequent the West Canada Lakes Wilderness area …what cannabis tinged memories … Santa Marta Gold in the Adirondacks …special times.
Great thread, thanks for sharing.

Update 11/13/2019
Good day All this morning when I shut the lights of on my flower room
it is day 21 for the 8 plants I have in flower, no picture as my batteries
were died in my camera so I will add photos later today
But here is what is going on of the 15 Blackberry beans I planted 13 came
up so not bad for 5 year old beans
the other 15 of my GG4 cross did not fair as well about four came up
but they were stored very poorly, so it goes
I was looking at beans on the web and almost pulled the trigger
as if I need more beans
then a member here offered up some beans they wanted to get rid off
so I bought some from them
I got Cookie Monster X UBC Chemo
Moon Walk X UBC Chemo
Vintage Lime X UBC Chemo
Island Sweet Skunk by Federation
I was looking for UBC Chemo and I have grown the Island Sweet skunk before
I want to grow 5 plants outside this year and I want them to look like Gramps
I am not sure what I will be using for plants as of yet
I believe I would like to do a long flower Sativa just need to find one
I almost never grow anything but Indica inside, short plants with a short flower
time
way back when I bought some beans from some seeds whore that were
KC Brains NL#5 hoping for some nice piney Northern Lights
well that was not even close to what they were they stretched and stretched
I thought they would never stop
smoke was OK but throw out the other 3 packs
So if you have a favorite Sativa I would love to hear about it
I was looking to take them outside at the first the first of June at 8 or 12 weeks old
so they will finish here in the northeast
I do need to have them in pots so if need be they can be moved without
chopping them down
I still live in a state that frowns upon the cultivation of the Devil’s Weed
need to be some what careful getting a bit too old to work for the department
of corrections
The plants I hack are coming back nicely and I have picked out 8 to put into flower
in about 5 weeks or so
I will update with some photos later today and thanks for stopping
Peace and be safe

If you’re looking for a nice sativa, may I recommend checking out Ace Seeds

Thank you I will give them a look
I am thinking about pots right now I need something that I can just pickup with
a hand truck to move if I need to
I want them large so I do not know if I can use a fabric pot and move them
I was thinking maybe those rope handle tubs they put ice and beers in
I found them in 40 gallon but not too deep more wide which is good
thank you for the reply

I am going to do an update with photos but first let me say
I have been reading lots and lots of grow threads here and I must say I have seen
a lot of outstanding work
I have not really read the forums for quite awhile and to see where you all have
taken growing is just amazing
what some are doing in small spaces, LED lights, small plants in small pots
is cool
when I started growing inside back 2001 on OG I would post photos of plants
that I had stripped off half of their leaf mass, whacked half their height off
growers heads would blow up (you all know who you are )
I heard all about how the plants needs the leaves because they store food and Blah Blah Blah
I always said the same thing to growers, I am looking to tailor the plant to space I
have
to make them look like this
that is a big bud in a 10 inch plastic urn back in 2001
a skunk#1 in a 12 inch peat pot from 2001 a freebie from a seed whore
first grow box
now I see all you fine growers bending and hacking , trimming your plants to the
max and I am in love
thank you one an all for sharing what you do and how do it
OK update today for my flower room we are at the end of day 22
in the door way are a couple of ganja-nam style by Dr. Krippling which is Mekong High x Critical Mass
I got it as a single seed Feminized seed about four years ago nice smoke ez grower
the black cross
a couple of The Black cross I made, the black was a cut from Cali that I crossed with another indica
nice hard bud and hard hitting stone
a blueberry cross
another BB cross I made not sure of the male but it is the same one I used on the black
I am so shitty at keeping records I do that at my day job so I seem to have an aversion to doing
it in my grows
but the seeds I make I grow and it works for me 
the plants after being hacked are doing much better I do not see any mite in my veg
room, but saw one plant in flower with some webbing so they got a spray
no more webs yet
plant in veg
I will be change out my HPS in this room to a MH or a CMH not sure which
I need to pick out 8 plants for my next flower run which is still five weeks away, then what is left will get another trimming
Seedlings are doing OK did a bit of damage to the 4 hash bomb and 2 unknowns
4 sad little hash bombs
unknowns feeling the pain
someone years ago gave me an LED to try on seedlings and I never did, I found it the other day
looking for some flower food
and thought why not give it a try, after a couple of day move them back under T 12 shoplights
the blackberry look better, next time I will have to do the paper towel or soak the old seeds
as I did have to help them get the seed shell and hull off
but I do hope to find something good in them
so that my friends is the end of this update
all the best and be safe

WOW man you are killing it!!
As I was looking at your area photos, I got reminded of a guys video, I watched the other day, he recently bought himself a 2006 Honda Big Ruckus, and was riding to a breakfast some scooter folks attend. Blistering beautiful iron was there, in every type.
They were riding along the Palisades ? area I think it was. Dang man I got to ride up that way sometime, as that was just beautiful.
Then wandering in your photos made me want to jump on my wee scoot and go see it!
I’m so glad you back to hanging with the cannabeings again.

No doubt, eh?
Makes me wish I was retired or independently wealthy and I could just spent my days puttering and tinkering and maintaining a nice setup like that!
