Blueberry Cookies day 91
Flower Day 32

Talking with the man this morning about how much cannabis has improved our lives. I was a depressed and very suicidal drunk. He was an angry suicidal drunk. We were both sabotaging the life we were trying to build together.
It's hard sometimes to stop on a path and turn around to see where you were. It's important, I think. We don't even want to drink anymore. My anxieties aren't crippling and far far FAR more rational. Sex has only gotten better. When something pisses me off...it doesn't haunt me for days. That deep breath we're all supposed to be taking for our sanity? I think cannabis has made it a cleaner breath for me. Easier. No puns here. Anyhoo...woke up in pain and uncomfortably manic and cramping (Aunt Flo) and that first hit on the bong is like peeling away all the dead skin of sleep and ache and just...my perception and handling of day to day life is suddenly freaking manageable and I guess I got really grateful writing this. Thank all of you for being here on 420 making weed culture open and welcoming to new people like me.
With that thankfulness comes so much anger that this plant (as well as others) are fucking illegal. Maybe I should just vlog my anger-ranting about those things....meh
Ladies are happy. I just did the final 'site selection' on them and had to remove 4 stems with 3-ish nodes on the left plant. I felt they were just going to be larfy sad affairs so I nipped them. That energy is better spent on hopefully plump gooey dense flower elsewhere. I also got in there and cleaned out all the other little nuisance bits: leaves, lower nodes still trying to send out branches, and old pipe cleaners the plant had ripped out of the lid during growth.
I watched one of the live Kyle Kushman things this week and tl/dr: lights are at 13". Between some of the stuff Kyle said about LEDs and the advice of @StoneOtter I want to 1.) find Otter's 'sugar spot' and 2.) see for myself if I can keep lowering the light each day, in theory getting my plants used to a higher intensity and hopefully affecting quality.
Ganked one of our new photo lights to help out the window of shame. Also that's Pink Kush CBD back there trying to get all weedly and thin and I want her short and fat. Clones aren't dead....not sure I'd call them alive, either. Window's like 40f during the day. I am fully aware this isn't ideal for growing big fast plants. I'm ok with that.
( Gross...what's growing in potassium chloride? Algae?)
Found two types of cool mutant? leaves? What would cause these variants? Does the reddening of petioles indicate anything about health or harvest? I feel like my outdoor plants are more colorful and frosty by this point in flower, however I never logged those so who really knows? 
One of the offending useless flowers. It had escaped previous 'lollipopping' and was very close to the base on one of the secondary main stems. Made for a cute photo.
<3 thank you for looking
EDIT: Oh, another interesting thing Mr. Kushman said: there's a point with LEDs where distance vs. available PAR flip flops. If the light is too close, the power of all the lights working together goes away and it's really only the power of a single diode reaching X cmsq of leaf surface area.
He said it far more eloquently. Can't see the forest for the trees....can't see the light for the LEDs. You guys prolly already knew this.

Been watching your threads for a little while now. Mind if I "officially" tag along?
