Functional Update:
Mission accomplished
We’re having the Autumn monsoon. It feels like Eden’s very own natural disaster! Yesterday we had 30mm very quickly, more overnight, and then more from early afternoon onwards today. My lovely other dedicated the better part of her day helping me construct a plant cover. So I’m lying here now, listening to the rain and knowing that the Critical Mass isn’t getting wetter and wetter.
I’m also lying here in the wrapped-in-a-blanket bliss of some of that Sucker Punch (Auto x of 2 Kush strains) - which also enabled a solid rest in the middle of the project. I toked on the G13 Haze auto to get going, combined with a coffee (and extra doses of the energy metabolism suppl I take), and that was absolutely perfect.
We decided to make it a “buy nothing” project so used only scraps, which makes it look a bit scrappy
but its sturdy. Some works in progress...
Hold on babies! Mommas coming...!
so, so wet
Using scraps and left over building materials leads to different kind of joints
The lovely other was a trooper, with drill and staple gun. I enjoyed working out how to use what we had
We were slow and steady. We took a break once a frame was together and I had a sleep - thanks to the lovely Kush. We launched into the plastic a few hours later - I purchased this milky-white translucent plastic from a hydro grow store in a close-by city like 4, maybe 5, years ago and used it once. It’s still in great nick and was the perfect size
We folded it under to make a few layers and stapled it to the frame.
By the time we finished we were absolutely in no fit state to mount it properly and we were running out of light, fast. It rained gently on us while we roughly ziptied some supports to the existing garden enclosure posts. Then, we simply rested the frame on these in 3 corners and ziptied 2 of them. We used a ladder and a building clamp for the 4th corner
It was dark and raining when we finished so this is the best you can see until daylight - it’s raining quite steadily in this photo, but not on these plants
It’s leaning a little bit, but it’s solid and it’s working! Tomorrow I’ll find a way to sneak White Widow under there.
That was a big
mission and my pain levels are super high - functional levels hitting the bottom.
This too shall pass, however, and I am
totally stoked we got it done.
I am successfully medicating on all fronts to ease the aftermath.
Outside, it rains, and it rains, and it rains. The Eden monsoons!
That’s it from the garden tonight, thanks for dropping by! I truly madly deeply appreciate all of you, my 420 compadres
Gardner’s sleeping now...
