Some lovely looking ladies you got there. Spectacular work growmie. Keep doing what it is you've been doing and may the ganja garden gods give you good fortunes until the end
@Ga4rd2en0er,
Hydro is most definitely my preferred method of growing from now on. Once green machine got me straight on nutes, it’s been wonderful. Almost time for some old school skunk.
@WildeWeed, its one frosty girl! I would have never bought it as I get caught up in the whats new, I am so glad spliff hooked me up with a great classic strain with some obviously well selected parent plants.
