I got home the other day from work, went straight into the grow room, which is used for smoking in as well..... the door is always open onto the deck..... day and night, to allow cooler air in for the grow. I often pass out at 2-3am in there and on waking, stick my hand out the door and pull it shut, and go to bed. Wifey usually gets up at 5am, and has a smoke... door open again for the rest of the day etc etc.
Anyway.... I get home the other day, and looked out the door, I saw something move outside..... so I went to investigate...... must have been a bird.....I turn to look at our house.....
...there's the door to the grow room.... oh what's that hanging from the drainpipe????
FFFFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCCCCCCCCCCCCKKKKKKKKKKKKKK
So I got a chair, and had a look at the roof....
fancy sticking your hand in there? there's loads of shed snakeskin in there.
...so I went and got some more machettes last weekend, for fuck sake.
Well I've had this uneasy feeling, every evening sitting opposite the door, one eye on the TV, one on the laptop, and one on the door.... it's quiet and dark, and I'm totally paranoid about a snake coming in to visit. The heat from the tent that I'm sitting next to must be a like magnet for the beast... keep warm at night, ready to give birth to heaps of little bastards.
I am basically sitting directly under a fucking snake, the shed skin of which is at least 6ft long (so it's now gonna be bigger than that), and I must be getting up at least every minute, on average, getting up, looking out the door to see if there's any action. I am actually having a cold sweat right now.
Thought I'd do a bit of trimming, but I wasn't completely happy zipping myself in, and out (to check for snakes), and in, and out , and in etc etc so I just unzipped the side door and took a few pics to take my mind off the serpent. It''s not working, I feel like I'm getting whiplash, the amount of times I've jerked my head in the direction of the door and strained my stoned eyes trying to focus on whatever might be there. Fucking cockroach nearly gave me a heart attack, but it's all good practice for the inevitable day Percy Python pops in for a cuppa.
So here's the pictures, day 62
sorry if some are a little out of focus, I was kind of thinking about other shit.... you know what I'm saying....
Group shot
BAM1 is there on the right, well into flowering, TD is on the left, with BAM2 behind her
BAM is looking like a scrog from above, so many colas forming, all in an even canopy. She takes up more than half the tent. I am feeding her a base mix as per last week, but stopped the PK 13/14 and instead added Top Shooter at 0.5ml/L.... hot stuff but it will fatten out those colas!
BAM1
BAM1
The main cola seems unaffected by her near beheading.
BAM2 is probably 2-3 weeks behind BAM1 becuse of all the multiple toppings and supercroppings she endured earlier in the grow. She has numerous main stems which stretched a bit this week, and she's now producing nice flowers. I'm quietly hopeful for her... shhhh....
BAM2
BAM2
Think Different is well into flowering but about 7-10 days behind BAM1. She's grown a bit since last pics, but has a good amout of bud forming. I am giving her some PK13/14 and molasses in an effort to get those buds to poke out from the foliage.
TD
TD from above
TD buds
My only complaint at this stage..... it's bothering me that there are no trichs on the BAM1, and the TD is only showing a few tiny areas of frost.... by now, it should look like I have dusted them.... WTF??? Actual bud growth is great however. Lights on temps range from 15 to 29C, and at lights off can reach a max of 33-34C. RH 44 to 68%.
Thanks for checking in, time for a patrol
........ and another joint.
