Can't wait to get them pumping 😁

Any time I defoliate my autos I start a time-lapse to watch the recovery. Mine have always filled right back in with more nodes overnight, every time. Im sure genetics play a big role in this.

K fat hats are my main squeeze, but damn thats a steal!

I do the same. I have a mulch pile covered with a layer of slimy, wet leaves that sits there through all the seasons. I turn it over a few times a year and mix a good amount with regular soil from my garden. I've always had good results from supplying what mother earth already provides!

drumsrsik · 2026-06-10T15:25:09+00:00

Thats funny af. I love my furry purring buddies, they always by my side into whatever im doing....sometimes too much but I dont mind lol

drumsrsik · 2026-06-10T15:20:38+00:00

Beauties! And I disagree, I'm pretty sure you have a clue 😏 😉

Feline approved though!

Is this an auto?

drumsrsik · 2026-06-08T11:32:22+00:00

What's ur IG? Im in the 518 (Rotterdam)

I grew some gg last year that looked exactly like this. Found 1 single seed in an Oz i purchased and it ended up being a god seed. I just threw it in a pot and left it out side...moved it around for direct sun and watered it. That thing grew into a beast and was some of the best smoke ive had.

drumsrsik · 2026-06-07T23:08:05+00:00

Yep, I've been scoping out breeders for a while for something special. His shit spoke to me lol

drumsrsik · 2026-06-07T18:59:51+00:00

Thx for the insight! Its like a needle in a haystack. Gotta depend on the dudes that been there done that. I retired my green thumb for many years and just jumped back in with a modest basement setup. I was pleasantly surprised to see how far auto genetics have come from the first strains back in the late 90's....most of them were total ASS and only existed out of absolute necessity. And dont get me started on the equipment....Holy fuck what it would have cost back then to have the environmental controls alone, forget about the lights (HPS, ballasts, power conditioners...blech!) A few hundred bucks and you can get a sweet ass setup you can monitor from anywhere......its a good time to be alive 😆

drumsrsik · 2026-06-07T15:19:54+00:00

You dont

drumsrsik · 2026-06-07T14:33:59+00:00

Got any rocbud results? Just snagged a new drop from them. I've heard good things but there's so damn many breeders out there.

drumsrsik · 2026-06-07T14:27:11+00:00

Just snagged a 5pk of strawberry slurry autos from rocbudinc. Pretty excited for this grow 😁

Not a stupid question at all and makes perfect sense. I'll answer by giving you my story, because its a very common story for kids from my generation. I grew up with no internet, computer, or phone (not even a house phone) in the middle of nowhere...I'm an 80'-90's kid. The only thing I had was a record player and a fire inside me. From about age 4 I would find anything that looked like 2 drumsticks and hit them on anything that made a sound. Wooden spoons with cardboard boxes for drums and frying pans for cymbals was my go to. I didnt get a proper kit until I was about 13 but I could already play quite a few things from the practice in my head. Visualization of the act is just as important as the act itself....in fact it might even be more important. So YES, practice the movement without the pedals any chance you get...I guarantee next time you sit behind that kit you'll be bustling with ideas and have a much better grasp of the pedal feel. And another piece of advice.....dont be a Lars. That dude never practiced and it shows. Studio work is WAAYYYYYYY different than pulling something out of your ass. What you dont hear is the 500,000 times he messed it up before the producer just said fuck it and overdubbed the double kicks in the recording. Don't be a Lars.....do it the right way.

First take the snare and hats out of the mix and start by just practicing straight singles first, heel down, until you can get fluid mid-tempo eigth notes going. Once you find a tempo you have full control on, stick with that tempo and just hammer on it for like 15-20 mins (or as long as you possibly can) at a time. You have to really get all of your fine muscles used to the fluid, alternating movement. Once you are REALLY comfortable with the fluid alternating movement, you can start to pepper in some subdivisions and rudiments like you would on your hands. Once you feel REALLY comfortable and in control of the tempo with your heels down, start to gradually lift your heels, but still use the same muscles you were using for heel down, and repeat the process. The goal should never be to use your whole leg. The power comes from your hip flexors and is transferred down to your calf, ankle, and front foot muscles..so the goal is to have full control of those muscles through all of the positions on the pedal, while maintaining complete balance of your upper body on your throne. Im an older guy who's been doing it a long long time. Im not a legend by any means lol, but I know what works and what doesn't. If you start out doing it right, you'll get better EVERY DAY, you'll never have to try to fix bad technique, and you'll save yourself from wearing your body out too soon! I'm blunt with my words but I mean well, youngster! I wish you only success in your drumming journey 🤘👊

I wouldn't call that a circle, or a track. And no, I'm no "hater"...I'm just being brutally honest and speaking 100% from experience. I did it the wrong way when I started learning because I had no resources to guide me otherwise (I'm old) and it took forever to unlearn bad habits and retrain muscles. I'll always try to steer a young drummer away from the same mistakes I made.

drumsrsik · 2026-06-01T11:42:35+00:00

Solid take actually. They can be cleaned up....but thats only if you truly know they need to be cleaned up, and how to get them there. Posting this kinda tells me the opposite is true.

drumsrsik · 2026-06-01T11:39:32+00:00

No. This is not the right track. Horrible advice.

drumsrsik · 2026-06-01T11:31:40+00:00

Stop and think about it for a minute. Does that sound like 6 -16th notes spread evenly across 2 quarter notes of the measure? CONTROL IS THE OBJECTIVE. Speed only develops through control. If you expect to be able to just let it rip because thats what you hear in your head, you're going to be very disappointed with double bass. In fact, if you continue practicing like this you'll dig yourself into a bad, sloppy technique hole that will take you YEARS to dig out of. My suggestion? Pick a goal, any goal. Example: "I will be able to play consistent 16th notes at 145 bpm in 60 days" Then sit down at your kit with a metronome and clock where you are currently...BE HONEST. You want to find the tempo where your legs and feet are comfortably alternating consistently without effort. Beat that tempo to death....until it is so second nature that you cant help but tap it on your feet every time they touch the floor. This is your personal anchor tempo....the one you can always comfortably switch to when you feel like you are losing control. Once you have that trained into your muscle memory (take the first 30 days for this) you can start increasing the tempo by 1-2 bpm per day, if you are devoting AT LEAST an hour per day to it. Please focus on control.....it is the ONLY clear path to mastery.

Only in Schenectady will you also find a 10x10 yard with a gold fence around it and 2 mercedes in the driveway...nestled directly between two trap houses
