So my girl apparently needed some chilli sauce yesterday ... and she asked me if I still had some chilli powder left (that was sent from Junglerain). I tasted a bit of the Naga Powder, after not having anything for months and yeah, it was hot, she came up tasted some as well and went a bit crazy. I remember why I fell in love with the superhots in the first place.
Some of you may have seen my last thread back in October, it was about 99% swearing so it disappeared pretty fast, for the third year in a row I lost about $500 worth of stock, combined from Chilliseeds.uk, THSC and Nova. So if you figure that is about $1500 in lost stock + about $3000 I spent setting up the hydroponics, growing areas etc, it added up really fast.
This time was my fault, it was a cool 20*C day, I thought I would start to harden off the plants, I put them in the sun for about 2 hours came back home and they were cooked. The previous times were fungal infections, damping off, things out of my control. This time I had the seedlings raised by a hortacultralist - under lights in a warm room, and had near full germination rates. I used all new equipment, that had been bleached, grew them all in a sterile environment, I thought I did everything right.
So, I needed a break from this forum, from the community in general ... I have spoken to members before about loosing all your plants ... its hard ... but happening three years in a row, I really had enough.
After it happened in the 2009/2010 summer Neil @ THSC really looked after me, I cannot say this enough. As well as other forum members, but I am just bloody tired now.
I collected through trades, gifts, payment - a huge collection of superhots, Douglahs, Brain Strain (which were my babies), Barrackpores etc, that are not available at the commercial sites. It was my pride and joy, and to loose the stock, it just messes with your head.
I probably would like to grow again for the next season, but right now I have no motivation, I am just completely drained ... I feel tired.
That being said I am gonna head down and see Wildfire and pick up two naga plants. So at least the season isn't a complete waste
How long can you keep fighting god before you give up? It seems he has an unfair advantage
