My friends… It is beginning to look a lot like summer… so everybody calm down!
MY Update:
The inside grow is doing really well. I flipped the lights last Sunday and I am already seeing sex on two plants. Jolly green giant AKA retardedfishfrog, is a girl. I have had to top this thing like 5-6 times now and I am going to have to do it again. This thing would probably be a 20ft tall tree if I had grown it outside. geez…
The other plants took their time vegging , 3 months/90 days and I think I might know why. Everyone’s LED lights have strings with pulleys that they can adjust the lights but we know that we loose about 1/2 foot of height from the top of our tents. I am not a SOG grower, I am a Paul Bunyan type of grower. I like trees…
So in previous grows I have pulled the lights all the way to the top of the bars and have wrapped the strings and wire hangers around the bars to get 5-6 inches back. It is a pain in the ass to undo and redo again so being the lazy smuck that I am I left them there and just turned the lights way up. Well this is mistake because if I had lowered them I probably could have cut my veg time by 1/3. So next grow I am going to pull the lights down and get the lights closer. Being lazy like this only does two things. 1) Adds more time and cost to run the lights for the grow. 2) Adds how long before I can flip the lights. I noticed that once the plants got 1/2 up the tent they took off and grew quickly… why? Because they were closer to the lights. I don’t know why freakfishfrog got as big as it is… It has been BIG since it sprouted.
The outside grow , Miraculum , is really doing good. Trimmed her arms at the bottom and a couple of big fan leaves and she is doing her thing. This looks like the green crack strain from my last grow of last year. Again it is probably a root ball from that grow that decided to sprout again when i threw the root balls and my octo dirt in my new outside grow area. Once it gets bigger i will know for sure but it is probably a green crack.
I need to hunt down another kiddie pool to wash my grow in when harvested. The one from last year got cracks in the plastic over the winter and it won’t work now as it doesn’t hold water. So I will be checking out family dollar stores this weekend in search of one.
I plan on attending the East Coast Connoisseurs cup in Richmond on July 28thagain. No I have no entry but my friend on here @HomegrownVABudz has entered in the contest and I want to see how he does. I also enjoy watching the dabbers setup their glass chemistry sets and welding torches to enjoy their smoke at the event like everyone else. I find it fascinating that people do all that work to get high… 
That is all I have my friends… Things are growing… excited to try the new strains…
Good talk everybody…
