At The Foot Of Mount Washmore

[SweetSue]

That was a beautiful explanation Magic.

I've been talking to PeeJay about our soil mix and will be maintaining my one working no-till, but will also be lightening my reserve LOS as per PeeJay's suggestions and running a pot side by side so we can see the differences. Working with the HB kit soil has begun to make me aware of possible improvements to what I'd considered a gold-standard mix.

My working no-till is a thing of beauty in my opinion, but I have learned to appreciate germinating in a lighter soil and then transplanting into the big pot. I can tell you from experience that planting as soon as possible after chopping the previous tenant of the pot is most beneficial. I've done it both ways and definitely saw a difference in planting immediately and waiting up to two weeks before planting. Do it quickly. Those root connections degrade faster than we think.

I'm growing 11 pots worth of Clackamas Coot mix - internet shipped except for the peat moss and lobster compost - very similar to SweetSue's mix.
Unlike Sue I am going minimalist in my teas and foliar sprays, mostly just watering this first time around. Started using my soil in March/April, so a beginner like you

My early veg mix is 40% Perlite, 30% Peat Moss, 30% Lobster Compost. They don't get the CC-mix with neem and rock dust goodies until they are transplanted into the big LOS pots. I'm considering reducing the Compost to be even gentler on the nutrients for seedlings.

I'm not as fully no-till in my grow. I chopped one boy so far, and immediately repotted a clone in 1-gallon of veg mix alongside the big boy roots.

sorry to hear about you having a boy, gotta get that horny bastard away from your ladies!

Congratulations, being legal is sooooo coooool.

Congratulations, being legal is sooooo coooool.

Florida still has three dry counties and many others have 'blue laws', here is hoping that we get at least medical cannabis passed in 2016. If it does pass it will most likely be under the strictest of regulations with limits on the number of growers and distribution with likely no allowance for home grown.
Congratulations Oregon for joining the march of reason.

Congratulations on your "Independence Day" in Oregon and on learning Multiple Quotes!

I'm Happy you dropped by, Hemper! Florida's a tough one for sure. I wish that all states would have medical mj laws at the very least. But some are going to take longer than others. I hope we reach the tipping point very soon and ALL states follow suit and others don't suffer needlessly, or lose their livelihoods and/or freedom over growing a plant. It's absurd. And criminal.

Congratulations, being legal is sooooo coooool.

Thanks, RSOier! I am thrilled to be around for this! Wished I was in Portland today were they were handing out nugs and seeds! I think it would have been a fun atmosphere. My county hasn't approved any dispensaries for medical use so it is doubtful it will approve recreational shops either but they may change their minds. We are allowed 4 plants per household so I won't complain!

In other news, RS, I am being gifted some rso! Sweetleef will be ready to make mine in late July so this should last until then. I should get it tomorrow or Friday. l am excited and nervous at the same time. I'll let you know how it's going.

Congratulations on your "Independence Day" in Oregon and on learning Multiple Quotes!

It's TopCat! Hello to you! I'm feeling pretty darn smug about the whole 'multi-quote' capability. Hope I didn't come off as too braggy.(or too much of an air head ) It feels like a really big day here. I hope it spreads far and wide and I hope it happens quickly.


I ordered some zippers for my grow area. They should arrive Monday and then we will turn one of the panda film walls into a panda film door! Then we can light proof it and be ready to flip a week from Sunday. I think I will pick up some eye screws and heavy cording so I can pull the door up like a roman shade (kinda). Maybe a cleat or c-hook attached to the wall to wrap the cord around... That's what I am thinking right now. I have a little time to decide in which direction to go.

Hope everyone is well!

Honestly, sometimes I don't know how I get through a day. My goal for this afternoon on 420 was to figure out the multi-quote function. Yeah, I know...but I'd never used it before. So, the house is quiet, I put on some music and loaded the bong. I began my search after a nice, healthy bong hit. I looked around a bit for my info but then my high kicked in and I got more and more distracted. Time passed...What did I do with this time? I made a damn mess is what I did. I got out records, cassettes, cd's, and continued to search for my information by way of reading journals that had nothing whatsoever to do with multi-quotes. And the music was good.

A good while later, I tried to snap my attention back to the task at hand. Alas, I had strayed far from my intended path. I took measure of each path and, finding the multi-quote path lacking, I continued to pick my way along my unintended path. I re-loaded the bong. Time passed. And the music was good.

I once again brought my attention back to what I wanted to get done. 'What're the odds?', I ask myself. At that very moment I know exactly what I have to do. I will open up my journal, scroll to the bottom of the page and just ASK. That brings us to almost present time. I pull up my journal and scroll past a post to the quick reply section. 'Let's see...what to say, what to say....', I think to myself. I still have a nice relaxing buzz going so I am careful about choosing my words. 'You want to make sense', and as I tell myself this I glance at the portion of RSOiler's signature that is still showing at the very top of my screen. It's in red, I've read it a dozen times, more even. "If you're not tacking, you're not healing." I'm getting close to starting the rso and I'm excited. I repeat it over and over. For a moment it becomes like a mantra. As it runs through my head I think to myself, 'I like that quote.' When I think the word 'quote' I glance over at the "reply with quote" link just to the right. And what's just to the right of that?? THE MULTI-QUOTE.

I mutter something like, 'You're f'ing kidding me.' I feel pretty dense and find it extremely funny at the same time. So, what do I do? I take a bong hit and write this. And the music is good.

How's that for long winded, Sue? I'm glad you are here!

I think we should live closer Magic. I'd be at your house all the time. This is EXACTLY what I was hoping for Girl.

CONGRATULATIONS ON BEING LEGAL!!

I live in a provincial commonwealth that can't even bring themselves to let children have access to oil. Sick puppies, every one.

Someday though. Someday soon I think (hope).

You've been holding out on us Magic. You're a natural at this journal thing.

 

[Weaselcracker]

Ha ha. I spent the whole winter fretting about that multi quote thing! I was determined not to lose my 'dignity' by asking so I just watched with jealousy other people using it. Finally just recently asked Sweetsue who explained it to me, and at the same time saw the obvious mutiquite icon right there in the corner where it had been the whole time! One hurdle at a time...

 

[SweetSue]

Love you Weaselcracker.

 

[Weaselcracker]

Awwwww....

I suspect some shenanigans would ensue... sounds perfect to me! Makes me chuckle just thinking about it.

Thanks for the congrats and especially the encouragement! I don't get to get out much anymore and being a bit removed tends to make me forget I might have something to say. It's silly really, because I always have something to say...bit of a mouth, really! You'll find that out when ya get here!

Thank you for sharing that, Weaselcracker! And how many posts did we make before the discovery? I had over 600 chances to see it.

I used to say I was a wordy wench, but now I just say I'm loquacious. Makes me sound smarter. haha!

 

[MagicMediwana]

My zippers are here! They weren't due to arrive until Tuesday but they got here early, which pleases me to no end! So, if I can get my worker bees moving in this heat, we will turn one of our panda film walls into the panda film door I've always dreamed of. I hope we can at least begin the project today but we will see. My oldest, who will be helping me, is currently helping one of my neighbors who's movers didn't show up and it's 90+ out there. I may have lost my worker bee for the day...

For your enjoyment, Zippers!!
