AlienAthena's Astronomical Grow Journal

[spyralout]

7.75was what I rode in middle school and I loved the smaller size but now my feet are too big lmao. These are my first Enjoi decks; never had them before. I buy decks base off which skaters I like so they get a lil cash. Before I’ve had Plan B Ryan Sheckler Deck, Plan B Paul Rodriguez , Krooked, DGK, and a lot of Girl decks. The team boards, boards with pros on them, can all vary in wheelbase and concave but be the same width. Like there’s multiple 8.25 Girl decks but only a few have 14” base wheelbase and 31.5 length.

Im loving these Ricta Clouds 86A. I need to ride em around the neighborhood for the real smoothness check. Might get the 76A just to see. When you get your deck I think some Independent 139s Trucks, in case you decide to move up to 8.0, or Thunder 145. Oh yeah, Thunders are lower and lighter than Independent trucks but since you like bigger wheels i’m sure you already use riser pads.

I actually didn't use riser pads on the blanks I had, they felt squishy. But I think I'd probably appreciate them more now. Thanks for the suggestions, I'll definitely check that out. The skate shops are all but dead around here now especially with covid. So CCS it is.

I got a krooked deck 8.25 w independent trucks, quickly realizing skateboards are made for people that are lighter, around 190 now deffinetly need stiffer doh dohs. Tightened up to the point of pan caking lol

I would also love to see the GG#4 x choc d. I have some in my vault and would love a sneak preview. I am growing the blue dream x choc d and i love it, smells kinda like cocoa puffs and berries. super frosty, aesthetically pretty too!

Try telling that to my younger self ? I was a big young girl trying to be tough with the boys but the weight didn’t stop me. I still don’t get how people ride with loose trucks. Just make sure you didn’t tighten em too much to break the bushings. Hell Daewon Song rides without em

Everything I’ve grown from Useful has had amazing terpenes. I also have some Gelato 45 x CD that i’m trying to squeeze in the lineup before the year ends.

I was always very small 85 lbs in 8th grade lol. Loose trucks is just awful. Been practicing tricks in my living room lol good ol chip seal country road. Gotta get a section of the garage cleaned up. I have a little bushing splitting but I got doh dohs ordered after I mentioned that earlier.
Also always been fond of hard wheels. Using autobahn ultra 100a.

Ayo I watched this high as fuck a couple days ago. Like completely mind blown. Wouldn’t have believed half the shit he did was possible if I ain’t see it with my own eyes. On some Rodney Mullen shit

This has been my favorite part I’ve watched the past week.

that one dude pulled a hardflip mid-fast ride and kept going without a push. what an excellent display of using inertia and gravity to your advantage. very inspiring and free flowing.

Not all that glitters is gold... or whatever that saying is.

My veg tent looks fucked.. but it's okay because they're still in veg but things literally changed overnight.






S.O.S.

Damn, you spray anything? Any sudden changes in temps or pH?

Nah Temps stay around 75-85 and RH around 50-65. I used baking soda yesterday to raise my pH for the first time

 

[Gentlemancorpse]

Can you test your runoff pH? Maybe the baking soda threw the root zone pH off.. your in soil right?

 

[Gentlemancorpse]

I gotta get offline for a bit... but whenever I see leaf clawing like that come on suddenly its usually one of a few things. We eliminated heat and you didn't spray them so... root damage from rot or pests or pH fluctuations would be my guess... if runoff pH is good you'll have to pull the plants out of their pots to check the roots

Thanks a lot!! You’ve given me some directions to look. Need some half gallon pots
