Almost done. Just starting week 7. Giving them one last full feeding, then I will be dropping the ec dramatically. Thanks to those that have stuck around for the grow. Didnt go exactly as planned with the lights being sold and switching back to hps, but what grow ever goes as planned? The botwnicare pro blend line coupled with xtreme gardening azos and mykos have really stepped my grow game up. Not sure how I do it, but I get my plants stacking buds on buds on buds… the last 2 weeks will be flushing and photos. I appreciate you guys. @dequilo my friend, you helped me greatly with all your advice.

Everyone loves a good money shot… These buds will have tons of bag appeal… Check out the trichs, these arent even close to finish… This is the tiniest bud on my banana mac… Hidden under the mountains of buds… Its still the size of a golf ball.

Looking nice man, very nice.
I’m glad you are overcoming adversity. It’s not always the easiest thing to deal with for me.

ive been in a lot of bad places in life due to my own equally bad decisions, and addiction to rx opiates. I spent 6 months living under a bridge in sapulpa oklahoma. Took me dying twice to get help. Once i got it the help, I didnt waste the love that was given to me. I changed my life completely, one little step at a time. Reunited with my hs Sweetheart at the perfect time. Shes been crucial to my sobriety from opiates and living a good life. She took a chance on me and I pray I never let her down. Even without a kid on the way, theres nothing I wouldnt do to protect her and provide. The lights can be replaced, thankfully I had an old 1k hps bulb to go with the vivosun kit. Thanks for the kind words my friend. We all gotta build each other up, too much going on in everyones lifes to put people down or criticize.

As long as you keep doing that every day, you will have lots of help bro. Just remember, you are the only one responsible for your sobriety. I know a little about that myself, booze here. 
No doubt. If you’re going to criticize, at least try to do it constructively, with love, and yes, we totally need to build eachother up. Thanks for the reminder.

alcohol had my number early. I cant drink it either… I am 1/4 creek native, when i drink i drink it all, and dont remember anything for a couple days… I dont miss that life at all. My wife has seen me at my absolute worse, and at my best. Without her and her encouragement I never would have gotten into growing cannabis. We found a bag seed one evening and decided to pop it… At the time i didnt even know how to germinate seeds. She did the heavy lifting to get me started lol. I love her with every fiber of my being… Those lights wouldnt have been in that grow had it not been for her help. Growing this plant keeps my mind off negativity, and keeps me preoccupied. You couldnt have paid me to learn this stuff in school. I cant wait to teach my daughter how to garden and love the plants… Its been the greatest stress reliever, and ive met some amazing people who share the same love that have helped me when ive been down…

Hanh in there dude.
I have been dealing with PTSD from childhood trauma. For most of my adult life. Im now 65. I had very abusive step parents that my real parents each remarried after they split. My step mother that my father married was a torturous hag that would beat you with extension cords and broom handles. Dealt with that for 10 years and then my stepfather was a mentally abusive asshole.
I say this because after everything in my life I have tried, I think, like you, I get the biggest jolt of serenity and self peace with the growing. And the smoking hurts nothing either. Wink wink. But there is theraputic value in growing our meds as well as using them. In my opinion.

I definitely can relate. My grandfather basically raised me. My mom and dad had me and my 2 younger sisters… both had issues, my mom had more substance abuse, mental health issues. They fought all the time, dad had a bad temper and would beat me with anything he could get his hands on. When i was 2 he basically spanked me so hard the diaper exploded and i flipped down the hall way… Parents divorced when i was in 3rd grade. My dad got custody because my mom got strung out and abandoned us in a house with no electricity or water in the middle of a snow storm… She would often try to kidnap us from school when she was drunk or high. My dads temper remained and i caught the receiving end because i was a boy. I swear he did his best to embarrass me most of the time in front of my friends by taking his anger out on me at school events… in our small town that was considered normal. I know my dad always wanted perfection from me because he expected alot, but man that child hood was crazy. I spent highschool basically living at my gparents and working on the farm before school. Those were some of the main reasons i started abusing my rx meds and alcohol… It made me forget everything bad in life, and made that sinking hurt feeling you get when you think about traumatizing events go away completely. Since ive started regularly medicating with cannabis post addiction, im able to face my problems head first. These days I have support of my friends and family, it took years to earn that trust. The bad days sober, beat a good day high any day. I meet so many people with the same story as me here. I love it.

The thing that’s cool is we can all share our stories and be totally honest. It’s hard to do thag with someone you meet on the street.
Talking about it is therapeutic as well. There is value in being understood, and meeting people that share emotions and situational commonalities.
Those buds look freaking great. I’m supposed to be getting Mac 1 soon, so we will see.

Last year I crossed my pinkleberry dark pheno with orange cookies mac. I grew it indoor but she was a runt so I literally threw her outside into the compost pile. The rain must have kept her going. I think im gonna pop the rest of these seed lol. Those colors are ridiculous. This plant went outside into the cold freezing nights at week 3 flower. No herm sacs. Had she had proper care maybe bigger buds. Cant wait to see what she does indoor and taken care of.

It was fun to participate in. The plants did the work. Very pleased with this. Considering I started with 40 and ended with 40 due to some falling off early, and the jinx proof seeds herming to hell. Biggest plants I’ve ever grown sit in this room. The kolas are the size of baseball bats or bigger. The camera doesn’t do em justice. Next run will be a 10x20 green house. 3 plants in 50 gal earth pots. Gonna fill the entire greenhouse. Stay tuned
