Well grown brother!
:smokebuds:
:drool: loook....at....them...fat...nugggetzzzz!!!
Bad news today. I slacked off this morning and decided not to check on the clones in the veg tent before the flower tent light turned off (one of the disadvantages of having a veg tent inside a flower tent. I had to wait until tonight and check. I made a jackass mistake. Me and the wife were in a hurry to get done last night. Turns out I forgot to plug in the cloner. Pretty sure all my clones are done. I'm going to give them 24hrs to see if they recover. Really bummed cuz I'll have to wait a few weeks to get clones again. Looks like I might be ordering some more seeds. Ugh live and you learn.
On a positive note...
Here's a few pics of my bagseed plant. She's smelling amazing. Easily my best smelling plant yet. Starting to think she's an orange Kush.
Did that once, after I whipped out the calculator and tallied up new purchases I decided to never EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER do that again.
Update:
I recently finished harvesting my agent O. I ended up staggering it out over a week. I estimate total flower time was about 9 weeks.
I dried it for about 3 days before putting it into jars. My humidity is only about 30% right now. Most of the buds are quite a bit fluffier or airier then I would like but other than that I've got no complaints.
I ended up with a dry weight of 44 grams so far and that doesn't include the few branches we smoked early or the gigantic main cola. Safe to say I easily passed my estimate of an ounce and a half. I'm predicting 2 and a half ounces once I include the dry weight of my main cola. This is my largest harvest to date so I'm pretty stoked.
The agent O smells very unique. It's almost like an orange diesel. It's very smooth. We have to be careful where we carry it though because you can smell it from a long ways away lol. Not sure if this strain is a lot better than my autos, if I grew it better, or if it's because this plant is seedless but it's a huge improvement.
I am starting to think I my not be a big fan of the diesel strains. I always liked them before when I bought bags but now that I'm smoking a lot more of it consistently I'm not liking it as much. I'm more into fruity strains like bubblegum funk, blue berry, tooty fruity, etc... I have yet to grow and of these her though. I've got quite a few strains crossed with blue berry but the skunky/diesel cross takes away from the fruitiness. Who knows it could just be grower error lol.
I did make some infused olive oil with the trim. So far we've made brownies and sugar cookies. Both turned out pretty good but I do prefer butter over oil. Next time ill do a batch of butter and canola oil. I just need more trim.
Here's some pics of the harvest:
Not much to update with the rest of the girls. Clones are all doing great. Haven't lost one yet. I did rearrange things in the flower tent now that im dealing with shorter plants but that's about it for now.
Thanks for following and keep it growing guys!
Frosty goodness, those pubes are for real too lmao. Nice job Bubz
I can't speak for the auto flower variant but the CM pheno that favors the Afghan is some killer smoke. KILLA
Sorry to hear about all that buddy. Things never seem to get easier, and life has a way of dropping everything in your lap at once...
It sounds like having him move in would be the only feasable option really. I know you need herb to function as well, but have you considered possibly taking a 2-3 week tolerance break to help you string along your stash, and also lower your tolerance to be able to ride out this "Dry Spell"? It might also be time to clean out the garage/Basement and sell some shit on craigslist or ebay. You really need an additional 600w for that flower tent at the very least, and maybe some LED if you can scrape together enough cash. It's tough with the economy and all, but it's an investment you will have to make eventually, and the earlier you get it the earlier it will pay off. Either way, good luck brother. Hopefully it works out

Thanks for all the comments!
I'm actually excited to start growing some indica dom strains as all my current ones have been more sativa dom.
Thanks for the positive words Skatter!
I'm coming to the same conclusion. I already told my wife if I'm going to invest a $1000 plant to make his medicine he's going to need to live with us so we can make sure he takes it correctly.
As far as taking a break I look at it this way. How many people taking anti anxiety medication or anti depression medication could go several weeks without their medication? Or how many people taking pain meds or blood pressure meds can go even one day without? I used to look at my usage as an addiction. I would see negative consequences when I was without and the media says that's addiction withdrawal. Now after years of non traditional education I'm learning that it is my medication just as much as insulin is for a diabetic.
Can we do it? Physically yes but mentally/emotionally probably not. You have to consider we are both under extreme amounts of stress right now. Now that doesn't mean we're not willing to make the sacrifice but honestly I don't think he's going to let anyone help. He's been a heavy drinker for a very long time. It was his way of coping with an unsuccessful immigration into our country. He's been slowly killing himself for a very long time. He doesn't just need a cancer cure he needs a complete change of lifestyle which unfortunately for most people is really hard to do. I've been trying to "fix" my own mother since I could walk. As we all know health is just as much mental as it is physical. I saw my own father be completely transformed when he realized he could still live a long life with lupus even though so many doctors had told him otherwise.
Our fear is that her father already gave up. When he was first diagnosed it seemed like he wanted help. We were very hopeful that he was ready to change. We were smoking with him. Giving him edibles and joints to take home. He was very cheerful and positive.
Now he hardly listens anymore. It's hard to get him to take any medications. He won't smoke anymore and he's out of edibles. He's on morphine and mainly just sleeps all the time. He gets very irritable and he might be going to the casino drinking again. He's losing a lot of weight and refuses to eat.
Pretty much a losing battle at this point. It's such a difficult thing to go through. It's something I've struggled with my own mother my entire life but she's not on her death bed either. On one hand your angry at the person for doing this to themselves and not fighting. On the other hand you imagine yourself in there shoes and it's hard to be angry. How can you be mad at someone for having a beer or going to a casino when they're dying?
I think when your diagnosed with cancer you have two choices. You can either decide to fight it with your last breath possibly suffering every inch of the way or you can decide to make your peace with the world. I've seen people go through both of these decisions. I don't think family members or anyone can decide or convince you which. Sometimes people who have given up their entire life will surprise you and fight like hell and sometimes people you'd expect to fight through hell decide to make peace. It's frustrating when they decide not to fight when you want them to live so badly but we all have to make our own decision.
I know what you mean about genuinely needing it. Fortunately as a writer, I don't have to subject my unstable self to the daily grinds of the "real world". I cant function out there very well, and the idea of doing so without any herb isn't something that I would be willing to do either lol. Just figured I would throw it out there, because my semi regular tolerance breaks have proved beneficial to keeping my tolerance in check. I went 3 months drug free this summer after sobering up from 7+ years of heavy drug use. Without the ability to smoke up and keep myself "even", I was an absolute monsters. The things I say to people, and the way I treat them at times is nothing short of horrific. Smoking makes me a better person, so I totally get it.
I can relate to your father in law, as well. With my bi-Polar and borderline personality (as well as being on the schizophrenia spectrum) there are weeks, and months at a time where the idea of "Tomorrow" makes me sick. I spent the majority of my life essentially killing myself as well, because there are parts of myself that are impossible to love. And I am a young man with ALOT going for me, but at the end of the day none of that matters, and there is nothing anybody could say or do to bring any sort of peace when your head is in a dark place like that.
And unfortunately for him, he is fully aware of the clock counting down over his shoulder.. it very well may be too late for him, because even if he "saw the light", it wouldn't do him a whole lot of good in his eyes. Sometimes the fight just isn't worth it anymore, and while it may be selfish of him to give up, it's selfish to try and force something on him that he doesn't want for himself.
If he's going to the casino and drinking, he has the right to live his last days however he wants. St the same time though, if he is pissing his money away on the slots, that is VERY selfish if you are bending over backwards to come up with the cash necessary to provide him with his meds. You shoukd talk to him WITHOUT his daughter present, and just try to be real with him to see exactly where he is at.
As a wise man once said "Life's a bitch, and then you die. That's why we get high...". Good luck with everything, it's a really shitty situation
