Hey everyone! I'm the Adirondack Sugarman, aka CannabisCrusader. After being removed from a few forums, Dankmaster has graciously given me a spot to document my work in a safe space where I wont have to run my posts through Legal Zoom first.
A bit about myself before we get started. Ive been growing since the mid 90's. Back when growing was very illegal. Back when you wanted a bag of weed, you got sold a bag of weed. No fancy names, and every bag smelled like pine, and gas. I started out in a 3x3 closet with some hps parking lot lights, moved up to a whole basement, then a whole house. Those were my younger years....
I got very sick before the pandemic, and I wound up in the hospital for a year before eventually receiving a heart transplant. When I returned home, I came back to find all my strains were gone. So for the past 6 years, I have been popping seed pack after seed pack trying to find something to match the potency of what I had before I got sick. As the years dragged on, and grows came and went, my hopes for finding those effects dwindled into reluctant acceptance that weed just isn't what it was. We took a bag of weed for granted, thinking it would always be there for us. Refusing to find complete truth in that statement, I continued my search.
Thats when I ran into Dankmaster and his CripXmas that was seemingly pulled out of the either. A bright light shining through the drab Grey of fruit punch pixi stick strains with all fruit and no punch.
Let's get into the garden set up. After multiple surgeries, I had to scale down a bit. Both for my own physical and mental sanity. I have 3 cabinets i built for vegitative growth. They are 2'-6" x 8' with sliding panel doors. One is for rooting clones and early veg, the other two feed my 2 4x8 flower tents.
Tents and cabinets are kept at 72 lights off, 82 lights on. Relative Humidity is kept at %48 - %52. All of my lights are viparspectra, and I run organic dry amendments in reused promix with added rice hulls and perlite.
