Left it out in the full sun for a year before growing anything in it to let the plastics leach out....
Ummm, if you mean "Left it out in the full sun for a year to allow UV to degrade the plastic more, making it more brittle so that it would microscopically flake off which could allow it to be taken up more easily by the plant' then yes, this is how it is done.

PS
Remember the old car vinyl seats and dashboards that would getting shiny and slick feeling when the car was hot when left in the sun and eventually the material would crack? All it really means is some of the chemicals that make up the material are leaching out, some faster than others. That happens less obviously now-a-days due to better chemistry, but it still happens... phthalates are mainly what they were/are.

Strange year for me.
Unusually gray Spring/Early Summer.
Went and got new soil recommended by the nursery peeps.
Started 3 March 20.
Germinated and planted 2 weeks later.
All died. Turns out the people at the nursery are completely clueless and the soil they recommended was WAY TOO HIGH in nitrogen and was burning up my sprouts.:mad:

Got new proper soil, germinated 3 more a month late.
Transferred to big pots, fvcking pill bugs got 'em.
2 barely survived so I let them keep growing, germinated 2 more and planted them.
Meanwhile, we haven't had any real sun to speak of for over 6 weeks and plants are flailing.
Fvck it, I give up, it's now mid June, guess I'll try again next year.
Completely neglected them.
Sun finally starts consistently coming out.
All of a sudden, even though not very big, they start coming on.
Pretty small but the buds are getting fat and looking good!:jamon:
Both are from the Humbolt Poundcake seeds I bought last year.
Probably another month to go, got a small portable greenhouse and fan for the last stretch to keep the mold/caterpillars at bay.
They smell heavenly.

Thus the lining with alfalfa and volcanic rock crumble.

decided to finish her out indoors, Africa farted, the dust is insane, don’t want to smoke some “chola de mohamed“ in my meds.
:cursing::poke::shameonyou:

she gets cut with the new moon next week.

Photo tip my friend... you need to put some light on it so we can see the details. We're basically seeing the plants silhouette on the second pic because the light is coming in from the back of the plant, and I would like to see more. My guess is they look good from the size of the buds alone!

Why you hate my horizons so much?

:roflmao::roflmao::roflmao::shameonyou:

Wow that looks good. Just curious, why don't you top it?
I like big colas and I cannot lie! some other brothers might deny….


if anything, I tie them sideways, so the bottom branches make colas as long as a Jamaican sprinters legs.
