I love these spiders. They are the ubiquitous and essential āgarden spiderā of the pacific northwest US.

Not good, to be honest. Iāve seen a slight improvement lately, but I spend most days just trying to make it through the day.
I did manage to keep one plant alive, though. This plant has been through hell, and itās still kicking. Someday soon Iāll tell the story, but itās nearly bed time so Iāll just leave a few pics for now

Someone here on Overgrow grew out this Bubba Kush S1 x (Casey Jones x Sour Bubble BX1) plant from seeds I gave away, but I canāt remember whoā¦
Iām thinking about running some myself, so if this is your photo, Iād love to pick your brain about your experience with that cross (which was probably written as Bubba x LD420).
[EDITED TO ADD] Found it. He hasnāt posted in three years, so I guess Iām not likely to get much feedback, lol.

I think Iāve narrowed down my choices to the following āshort listā:
Bubba x (Casey Jones x Sour Bubble IX1)
RCB x Orange Goji
(Apollo x Snow Lotus) x Orange Goji
Orange Goji F2
GG#4 RIL
Iām a bit worried that Iām more likely to kill them than to succeed at this point, but damn I miss communing with my plants

Glad to see you back man, will definitely keep an eye on whatever you decide.
You planning on doing flood and drain with coco again?

I donāt know if Iāll do flood and drain this time or not. Based on my exhausting experience today trying to get it all cleaned and set up, Iām thinking itās not likely.
I think I might just do small pots with coco, hand watered, with the simplest nute regimen I can come up with using stuff Iāve already got on hand.
Iāll probably do 12/12 from seed this time too. I donāt think I want to be dealing with full sized plants right now. Thatās obviously going to have a significant impact on the results, but I need to accept that I have to work within my limitations.
Iām not exaggerating when I say this might well turn out to be a failure. My health and energy levels are absolute shit, and only getting worse over time. Iām only even making the attempt because I miss growing so much. I miss sitting and communing with my plants in the morning.

Sorry to hear about your health man, that is awful. I hope things improve and you are able to get some time to enjoy a garden again.
Keeping it simple can be really nice. I used a 2 bottle base nutrient start to finish last 2 grows and I donāt think Iāll do anything more complicated than that in the future.
Always wanted to do 12/12 from seed. Even if it isnāt a big harvest it will be a cool experience.
Best of luck man! Hope it goes well. Iām sure youāll have a at least a few familiar faces (or avatars) here tagging along.

Sorry to hear about your health troubles @Howard.Crane
I have a similar deep desire to grow plants again but time is a big factor for me. I miss showing off my plants and sharing talks with like minded people.
I hope you get your energy back so you can enjoy the company of your plants again.
Iāve heard good things about Octopots @Jetdro if youāre not able to water the plants everyday maybe theyāre a better option than flood or small pots with coco.
So keep your head up and get better so I can live vicariously through you awesome grow.
