Johnnypotseed’s 3-ring circus - with autos, photos & sex…reversals, that is! (Part 1)

It’s totally dependent on the strain cuz. I can get 6’+ from some, and then others can be shorter like 2-4’
The Sativas always go tall, unless I top em to keep the tops all even

Frankenstein, even though almost a 50/50 Sativa/Indica indoors has gone over 6’

Holy moly 6’… hell… my whole tent is just 6.5’ haha. I’m always looking to keep plants fat & short due to height restrictions of the grow space. Guess I’ll find out the hard way with the 2gal pots lol

Solution will be on the, “I’ll keep bending and breaking tops!!” :hugs:

Ok, Fimming is better than breaking, as @JohnnyPotseed suggests!! You have a ton of plants going my friend!!! Congrats! :hugs:

Well, with a tent you’re kinda limited there. not much you can do except to keep topping and bending. here I have 8’ ceilings in the rooms, so no problem.

I think the “real” problem is I can grow 49 legally but only have 3x3 space to do it in lmao.

I’ll attempt 10 at most and maybe some clones…

Yes I’ll Fem the plants next round so I can have a wall of short fat buds in the end :wink:

Just got back home from what was supposed to be a three day fly fishing trip in maine. Bailed out early because the weather turned shit and because we realized once we got there that the fishing season ended the day after we setup camp. Ultimate stoner move.

ooops, my bad. Only 1 day of fishing is rather the case

Roughly 7 hours of driving round trip for one grilse salmon. It was a spectacular waste of time! Although I got to take two days off work for the cluster fuck so it ain’t all bad I guess haha

I can fit 12 in a 3x3, in 3g fabric pots :smiley: 4 rows of 3, staggered… but thats 36" tall donkey dicks without a lot of branching…

Kinda needed a bit more space here as an isolation booth of sorts, didn’t want to buy another tent, but rather rely on items on hand. Half a roll of panda film, a couple of 10’ metal framing corners and some Frog tape. Smoke a nice bowl and finish with this:

Thankfully, I have some lights for it already, just need to grab a fan. I was introduced to metal framing working in NYC, had always been a lumber guy. Price of lumber thru the roof today, had 6 metal corner pieces left over from a job sitting in the yard for the past 2 years, so I put some of em to use :slight_smile:

3 x 2, 6.5’ tall, Will easily cover most of my needs :smiley:

Still wish I had rooms, like ACTUAL rooms, but soon enough :smiley: :smiley: :smiley:

improvise! That’s always the way to go in my book lol saves money if you have a bit of ingenuity in the blood lol We didn’t go fancy when we built out the new LED lighting in the budroom. Had some old 2x4s laying around, just ripped em into 2x2s and built the frames for the lights lol fak buying stuff at lowes etc with the prices they are nowadays

Absolutely! Pops was a civil engineer. If that man taught me anything, it was how to work with my hands, figure things out, and repair and build stuff. Skills that are hardly being passed on today :frowning:

Improvise, adapt and overcome!

Tools are invaluable. If theres one thing I will never sell, its my tools. I have half a woodworking shop, half a metalworking shop, and pretty much a full auto shop here (minus a lift). I even have an electronics workbench :smiley:

Same here, lol I got tools that belonged to my grampa and pop also… still use em
A lot of mine are over 20-25 yrs old and still work good. A well maintained tool is essential.

Thats because they were built to last back then, or at least be serviceable! Todays crap is just that. If you break it, chances of being able to service it are slim. I have 50yr old worm drive circular saws and right angle drills that won’t die :slight_smile: Just need to replace the brushes once in a while.

I’m talking about hand tools from my grampa and pop, that’s what they used lol no such thing as electric saws until almost halfway through the 1900s (1922 lol I just looked it up to verify)Hand saws of all types, hand drills, etc

When did the circular saw come out?

Image result for when did circle saws start use?

In 1922, the first circular saw attached to a radial arm was created by Raymond Dewalt, allowing for greater control of cutting depth and direction than ever before. However, it wasn’t until 1929 that inventor Art Emmons created the first handheld circular saw.

I still have the entire Carpentry Apprenticeship books, set of 4, from 1910, they teach you how to make the tools to make the tools with!

the methods are modernized now but they still apply. The pricing now…there’s a whole different ballgame!
