Thanks Al. Looks good.
What size are your ‘large’ bags of potting mix? I can’t tell from the photo.

Weather hasn't changed. Low 90's and teens or worse humidity. Not too bad this morning. Got a lot of work done, including a new batch of super soil. We should have another month of warm to hot weather at least so just in time to "cook" it.
The garage is mostly ready for the tent to get here Monday. I should be able to get it together Tuesday.
Ordered @Tangled a Perfect Pipe. Customer service is excellent. I hope the pipe will work well for her.
We have yet more seeds on the way - Wedding Cake and Skywalker Kush, which have been her two favorites so far. The new tent is going to make it possible to grow more and since we are medical we are legal.
The new growth on MH1 and OGK CBD looks better to me. Blueberry has a few spots but new growth looks good as well. Westley had a growth spurt in the last few days. Nikita got taller as well and is filling in nicely.
Nikita and MH1 clones have rooted and are domeless all day today. Not sure Orange Sherbet clone is going to make it. Already threw out the OGK CBD clone. I'll take one of her when I take one of Blueberry and may need to get Orange Sherbet again, too. I may make the clones mother plants, depending in part on how much our harvest is vs our needs. I need to get figuring out how much of each we're going to need for the medicine.
Glad to see college football on TV today. My Crimson Tide kicks off next week.
Hope everyone has had a wonderful Saturday. It's been good here.

I’m sorry I missed that, does @Tangled smoke? I thought she only ate edibles for some reason
So sorry to hear that! But it’s okay! Because with the size of your plants, you could be taking one single clone from each plant every week or so and not even see a difference to your overall plant size
Thats the best part of this post eh brother!?
Damn I miss cable! (Puts head down) but that’s okay because I hope I’m more productive (let’s hope)

Tangled does do edibles but does also smoke. She just quit smoking tobacco recently (yay!). The dispensary edibles must not do what the Wedding Cake flower does because she likes it. It helps her pain and anxiety and gives a good cerebral high followed by a heavy body and sleepiness. I'm hoping Orange Sherbet will do all that without the sleepy. Thinking about staggering the harvest a bit to find the sweet spot.
I'm new to this still so I have no real idea of how the size here compares. Sounds like they are pretty good, so yay!
Good to be legal in this state. Wish the feds would get a clue but at least there are some rules protecting state medical growers (the way I understand it, Congress barred them from spending money to go after folks like us).
I know a lot of cable cutters and it's a choice I haven't had to make, thankfully. I simply must have my college football and until streaming catches up in reliability, quality, and no lag in delivery I'll stick with what I have.
I don't know any other way, brother. I'm thankful to have finally found cannabis, the miracle plant. I wish we had sooner and damn the government for keeping it from us, but we have it now. Thank you for the kind words and blessings. You are welcome any time so feel free to jump in whenever you feel froggy. Most things are cannabis related but we cover personal challenges, politics only as it relates to cannabis (in a nonpartisan manner), health, family, music, college football, autism, and more and we do so with mutual respect among and for all participants. It is great to have you along. Pull up a chair and sit a spell.
Right! J remember you touching Base on that now. My apologies!!
Hey brother! I’ve been all for this plant since I was introduced to it! Too early for me to disclose that information but, I’m all for it!
You sir need to keep doing what your doing! Because your killing it! (It sounds like a bad thing, but it’s a good thing)

It's all good, man. I'm gonna bet you have an interesting story. Look forward to hearing it one day.
Thanks for the encouragement. It's so good to have that 420 spirit, especially on the hard days, but really any day.
I am so ready to get these gals into flower. So tantalizingly close! My plan with the new tent is to move the bigger girls over first (Orange Sherbet, Northern Lights, Nikita/White Russian) and get everyone stretched outward just a bit more and filled in before the flip. There's just no more room in this tent to do it.
Thanks for being here and for your enthusiasm. Love it!
Ohh crap! We would be here forever if I told my story, you know how I explain story’s, very detailed lol!
I was the baby of three, my two older brothers, introduced me to marijuana at a very young age. I ended up getting suspended out of school in grade 3 for having a roach in my sock at school. You see, they wouldn’t have known about it, except I got called to the office for a serperate incident (someone graffitied something, they though it was me) they asked where is it? (Looking for a big permanent marker)
I said I have no idea what your talking about, they asked again “where is it?” And I said it’s in my sock... the principal asked
“what’s in your sock?”
I said to him,
“this!”
And whipped out the roach from my sock.
The principal was absolutely floored...
So, I rat my self out... I know, how stupid can a person be!
He looked at me and said, “that’s not exactly what we’re talking about here, but ok... now there’s a new matter.”
I felt so stupid, and still do, but I lived, I learned (kinda) and here I am today, grade 4! Lol just playing!!
I remember I had to go to Aadac for a three day course, for one hour a day. Did I learn from that course? Nope!
I later on in life found out that, the principal of my school (that I rat my self out to) indulged in the smoking activities on his free time as well.
There’s a sliver of my story! Maybe you will hear the rest of my story in the near future.
I try to mix in real life story’s of mine into my updates on my journal, your more then welcome to join along, and maybe even be able to piece all of my mini story’s together, to make the big story come together! Lol
I’m hung over today, the day didn’t start off very well...630 am approaches way too fast when you don’t go to be till 1 am. Of course my daughter is full of energy and is raring to go at 6:30am...
Anyways now I’m rambling...
I look forward to you getting the flower process started, that’s when it really starts to get exciting!
Talk to you soon Al!

Awesome story, @Backlipslide ! You were so young! I bet you have learned a lot since then. Thank you so much for sharing that.

Having just read your list of artists got my internal autotunes going in my head. I screw up a lot of the words, but I am the only one that heard it lol.
Glad your college ball has started. Next week you can enjoy your Crimson Tide.
When I smoked, 2 thirds of my lifetime ago, I was a pipe smoker. I couldn't roll if my life depended on it. If you ask me, nothing is better than a good pipe. I had a great collection. Sure hope Tangled enjoys her new pipe. In my opinion, that was an awesome gift for her. Also, so glad the quitting of the cigarettes is still going. Woohoo!
So glad the new tent is coming. You would think it was coming here, I am so excited to watch it take shape.

I slept late (for me) and was lazy this morning, but now I have pics
Hahaha yeah, I’ve learned a lot since then
I also did a lot of growing up since then as well
I’m glad @Tangled is still staying away from those pesky cigarettes! (As I take a haul off of my cigarette) #facepalm
Keep it up tangled!!

Just gave a watering to the perimeter and the top soil since it was so dry. I pH’d the water with vinegar to 6.75, which was about as precise as I could get it the first time. Our well water pH was about 7.5 which is more alkaline than usual for here. I’m good with it. We’ll see how the plants like it.

I often have the tunes going in my head...and I often change the words to relate to the situation.
Thanks, Newfun. Tangled is doing good. Proud of her effort. And with football season starting the cannabis should keep her from smoking cigs and maybe help her actually watch the games. lol

Quitting is hard. You have to want it. until then it's pointless to try to quit, not that one shouldn't. I quit 8 years ago.
It is hard, and your right, you have to want it. I want it, but I really enjoy it. I need to break the enjoyment out of it, and then hopefully the want to quit will kick in.
Good job! 8 years, that’s a heck of an accomplishment

Let me put it this way: you have to want it more than you enjoy smoking. That makes you committed to the effort and able to discipline yourself. When you are ready you'll get it done. I have complete faith in you.
Thanks. There are still occasions after eight years when I want one so bad I can taste it. Then I remember the actual taste that last time.
Then I remember my commitment to myself.- Thread starter

Getting ready for some pictures tonight.
Three clones have roots and I have pictures to prove it. One is dead and gone and two are hanging on, Orange Sherbet just barely.
I tried to prune a little to remove some necrotic parts from the iron deficiency and improve airflow.
Pics upcoming.

I’m following along for the future of these clones! I cloned all my greenhouse specimens, I’m looking forward to get the Banana Og clone going.
