One last check for the night. Everyone looks good. Since they were drying so fast I decided to do a full watering on those not under a dome. Used one cup on the whole lot.
Outside temp is low 60’s, RH 55%.
Tent temp 86 by the accurite but 78 by the thermostat. The former is sitting directly under the light and that tray has a seed warmer sitting under it. The latter sits inside a cup (IIRC I got that tip from lowrider72’s journal). Tent RH was at 62% when I unzipped the tent. Looks like it went as high as 66%. It’s dry here usually and that is only going to be more difficult to overcome once the ventilation fan gets turned on and the AC is running throughout the day. They call this the high desert but my teenager tells me it’s really a semi-arid continental climate. Close enough for hand grenades and horseshoes, I say.
Some have a second set of leaves developing.
White Russian #1 is still looking better and has grown a bit today.
My almost killing her has really slowed her down.
I’ve been spraying a little neem oil in the tray to get any creepy crawlers but haven’t seen any. When is a good time to first begin spraying the plants as a preventative? When they are no longer seedlings? Or later?
Has it really only been 8 days since I first planted the seeds? 6/22/19 at 2116 is when I first began soaking them to germinate. The next day I planted. I told Mrs. Alafornia I have seven new girlfriends. She said they take up a lot of my time. The kids aren’t really interested. Can’t blame them. I wouldn’t be at their age either, except if my family was growing cannabis that would have gotten my attention...maybe.
On occasion I notice white dog hairs in a few of the pics. I have a yellow lab whose full time job is to shed. My full time job is to try to get his coat off of me.
The teenager had a mini-meltdown yesterday. I let the pharmacy close before remembering to get two of his meds the day before and I’m sure that had a role. It was still minor in comparison with some yelling and slamming doors and was gone within a few minutes and after a stern reminder about the rules of living here. Yes, he understands them. He’s high functioning. This type of problem stems from difficulty regulating emotions. Cannabis has been such a big help with that, but it’s like any other mental health medication - it’s not a cure but a help (assuming the right med(s) at the right dose). The condition is still there. I’m afraid it will never leave.
I have a lot to do over the next weeks to months but I have a few projects I’m considering. One is getting involved with the local organization advocating for autistic (and other developmentally delayed) people. That is a somewhat occasional thing and I’m not quite sure of my role there. I’ll have to feel it out. I gave a talk to the local health department a while back and CBD was a part of that at the time. The other project involves creating some educational materials on cannabis and on autism. I’ve considered doing something along the educational line for a while. These two things are near and dear to me so I may have finally found a niche that makes sense and for which there is a dire lack of quality opportunities for those seeking it. These are medium to long term projects. We’ll just have to play it by ear.
White Russian #2 has yet to be seen. It’s a waiting game.
Hope everyone has a good night.
