ValleyPhantom and xplow420 grow strawberry banana autos

That sounds fun bro I want a little project for next year got my quad and my scooter but something for the water would be epic and Yh if you end up these ways we will have to link up for a joint or something going cold turkey on the drink as of today done the math I’ve spent 50 grand in 5 years on booze and I’m 22 it’s really not healthy most of that in the last three years since all the shit with the baby mum and worst part is it’s normally vodka

Sorry if there’s doubles there. I’m trying to entertain a 3 year olds nonsense brushing his teeth :roll_eyes:
That’s the boat anyway. Rough at the moment but has a running Volvo penta engine. Gas boiler and cooker work. The old ply is still in to cut fresh from templates after someone left the back end to sink forgetting to grease the stern gland :expressionless:
It’s an easy save anyway. Some ply, some paint, fresh worktops and cabinet doors. New upholstery. And a fair bit of isopon filler and sanding :rofl:
Thinking the fore cabin for the adults. The centre cockpit to be manned by chief (our GSD) and the kids in the aft cabin. The Mrs wants bunk beds and a bit of extra space for the kids to play. Tint the windows and chuck a solar panel or 2 on the roof to maintain leisure batteries. (Also to make sure the bilge pump runs whilst we’re away)

Sounds like a lot but you’ll get it done in no time bro one of my pals used to live in a boat for like 10 years and he loved it I’d happily give my flat up to move into a barge lol

Yeah it’s a winter project bro. Just doing bits on the weekends really. A few of those will be cruising it back over our way from Macclesfield. But it should be a lovely boat when done. They command about £10k in real good shape. I paid £1200. If I keep it under £2-3k on the fit out. It can be sold on and a bigger project bought is the hope.

And yeah we took him out. The Mrs spent 3 days making a mike wazowski costume out of paper mache :rofl: was cute AF TBF. He got plenty of sweets. Cue days of hyperactive sugar hangover demon pterodactyl child :100::no_mouth:

And I forgot to say before. I bought the boat to be able to keep my weekends free of wanting a beer. And to tie my money up so I can’t afford to drink. Plus means we get to make some memories next summer on a jolly :sunglasses:

Just been and bought a second pump, a new Res wham bam tub. And 2 timer plugs. I’m gonna have a play later. And still look for a wardrobe at least 100cm wide

So, my little ladies have already started blooming. Seeing pistils on a couple. They’ve gone into a dwc because a pump isn’t working. And I CBA pissing about :rofl:

Slightly upgraded photo capabilities than my old potato phone. You can see the damage they sustained during their dry spell whilst I was away. They’re standing up to abuse pretty well though. Still running EC 1.5 for now. But going to up it to 1.8 next res change. Lights are still 20/4.

I topped up the res 2 days ago to EC1.9
pH sits around the 6 mark. (I don’t have pH down) seen a tiny bit of tip burn so I’m going to keep them around the 1.9 mark until I see buds start to form. Then I’m considering using shogun pk warrior 9/18
I’ve used before with good results. Hit them with a big dose 2 weeks before finish and a dump of Epsom salts should see some nice colour :smirk:


Ignore the other plants. We have had some really nice peas. The rosemary and thyme were harvested and dehydrated.
I’ve got 2 seeds for a personal breeding project being germed in jiffys now. They can veg out until ready to take cuts. I’ll flower the mothers then and decide which to reverse with CS

I am a black belt in LITFA. @ReikoX is the sensi sensei of LITFA though :rofl:

@Xplow420 just hold steady on the Edward scissorhands shit on this run. Electricity isn’t cheap enough to lose that much smoke from an auto. I’ll get you some photos out to play with soon I promise

All 4 of these are tightly together. Branches intertwined and all kinds shit. I still don’t do much more than look at them. (but I supplement an extra 200ppm of co2 when doing that just breathing) crack a beer nearby and it goes up to around 1000ppm.

Once I see flowers actually form I might have to tie me kangaroos down sport. (can you use rolf Harris references in the 21st century :thinking::eyes::rofl:)

I haven’t even looked elsewhere how these are meant to finish, what the structure is like. What I can tell you is they’re pretty hungry for phosphorus. Highlighted by the bleaching serrations on my leaves. They can have another tea change on hydrosol alone and then I will be looking to start adding PK. Following on with a regiment of Epsom salts towards the end of flower.
