Be careful. That tripe will rot your brain :laugh:

I was one of the lucky ones and got out physically in one piece. Three guys I worked with weren't so lucky. 5 deployments in Iraq and Afghanistan did take a toll though. Mentally I struggle nowhere near as much as others but I have had issues and will for the rest of my life I'm sure. Therapy, cannabis, psychedelics and growing have helped me a lot in recent years. The community here has played a part in helping me cope through difficult times too.

Edit: More guys I worked with were injured but 3 lost their lives

Do you know what? Sometimes it’s exactly what my brain needs LOL

I am so glad you did.

Governments enlist strong young boys. Their frontal lobe is still developing and that mix of testosterone, loyalty and love for their comrades and fearlessness has them running straight towards danger, well I think it does. I am so thankful to the bravery of our armed forces. I have a frequent flyer that I often nurse who was in Afghanistan. He was left with hearing damage and a broken heart. He came back and found he couldn’t fit in. Lost his wife, kids, now lives on the streets and is periodically brought in with ETOH abuse. We do what we can, patch him up send him back out. He is always so very grateful, it makes my heart hurt.

There are some great techniques to help with PTSD. I think of it as a dragon, it’s so big and scary, but with the right saddle and riding boots you can tame it to the point you don’t always fall off when you hit life bumps. Depression breeds depression, despair breeds despair, I really do believe it’s about retraining your thinking. Your horror story will always be there, but it doesn’t have to define you. You get to decide.

I‘m so glad you have found community support. And I’m sorry you lost friends and thank you for your service.

Just doing a quick welfare check.

You Poms all good? So sorry it wasn’t the result you were chasing, but you must feel so proud of your team.

God Save the Queen.

All good here thanks Tra. Yeah it was a bit gutting but the lads had an amazing tournament and achieved so much just getting to the final. Taking an experienced Italian team unbeaten in 30 games all the way to penalties. No point focusing on who missed what penalty. Penalties are in no way a reflection of a teams performance. My 8 year old lad cried his eyes out though bless him. 14 year old daughter couldn't give a toss and the 18 month old boy still only says football, goooooal and NO. :laugh:

Plant wise I'll do an update tomorrow. She's just taking her sweet time in no rush to mature.

I know your lot takes your soccer football seriously. We are a rugby/Aussie Rules mad country here. And we can go from states cheerfully HATING each other at our yearly State of Origin (QUEENSLADER!!! Btw), then stand united when we play as one with the World Cup. I really love how sport can make strangers sing and dance together in joy.

I love how patriotic your boy is. And I also love how disinterested your girl is. I’m pretty much have shades of each of your kids. I get my cheer on if we are out and watching, our State of Origin tends to be an event. But if I’m home, he screams profanities at the tv while I either read my book or scroll the forum.

Girls should never be rushed when it comes to maturing. She will bloom when she’s ready :)

Look forward to it :)

VetSmoke85, Bulking indica style nicely…sweet. My plants are indica forward also, thanks for the preview if I can keep it on the rails until finish. Cheers
 
:drool:yep, them some frosty nugs!
I'd give her maybe a week or more...unless you think it's a butterball turkey. And are waiting for the nanner to pop. In order to take her out of the oven! :rofl:

I'm keeping a close eye out for that. My previous grow went on and on and on, then popped nanners out.
 
She looks great, Vet! You're definitely leading the way for the rest of us.

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: Cheers mate. Yeah it's getting tough to wait now. Pistils are mostly cloudy with some amber on the sugar leaves. Still probably 60% white pistils though.

Totally agree, all of mine, except for my outdoor want to stay squatty. I too am trying to not let them derail to the finish. It's been a tough and busy week but these genetics and their vigor will help us get close to what Vet has going!

She's just rockin Vet!
