I wanted to just let you know i appreciate you and your wisdom today. Also....your grows and harvests are magnificent. Get some rest after this trim sesh
 
Still trimming huh? :green_heart:
I think there is more than trimming going on here.
Oct 23rd was the last appearance of our beloved Copper. :love:
I'm getting concerned.

Stay safe.

Hello friends!

I've been pretty reclusive since harvesting the outdoor girls. Long story short holidays are usually hard for me and add into that current trouble with my daughter and I needed to distract myself. One of our dogs also got a nasty sinus infection (which she's still not fully recovered from). Blamed myself for that. One of our sweetest barn cats got run over, as well. My kid still isn't vaccinated and barely speaks to me. SO yeah, I nearly checked myself into the VA mental health ER at one point.

I ended up building us a new kitchen, spent a lot of good time with my mother in law (which is a new development!), read some books, and yeah...just backed away from life for a bit. I don't plan this stuff, I suck at recognizing the triggers, and sometimes I just need to regroup aggressively.

Summer harvest went better than I expected. I stopped counting after I hit 10lbs dry. I probably lost 3lbs to mold (this was one of the things that sent me into self-loathing). I know it was a hard summer for everyone growing around here but still...three pounds seems like failure.

As a result of this summer's grow I'm 50/50 on growing outside again next year. It's kinda 'free weed', but it's also a whole lot of focus and fight only to discover your shitty fucking neighbors dont cull males and lead to my female plants getting knocked up.

It feels silly apologizing for needed to take some time to myself but one day I just wake up and am repulsed by life and routine.

<3

Oh shit...Totally forgot I also tore one of my ear gauges, which also got terribly infected...looked like a prolapsed cherry on my ear D:

I will work on getting some photos uploaded soon.

Yeaaaaa Copper is back safe and sound. :woohoo:
Maby a little worn down but we are ecstatic to hear from you.
We missed you so much and we were worried.
Glad your back and I hope you and the family will be ok.
I'm sorry about your pets.

Stay safe

@Bill284 @SmokingWings :green_heart:

I love you guys! I hope your life is on a more even keel after the fire, Bill. I've been fire safety anal since that shit.

It might take me a couple days to get back in the groove here. I figure a smoke report a day will be a nice way to wrap this journal up.

:green_heart: :tommy: :circle-of-love:

Glad to see you back! I hope the time away was helpful.
 
:ciao: So glad to see you back! Nice haul on the summer grow. I feel your pain wrt the pollination. Growing outside is hard enough! There is a grower here who is growing a Zombie plant and it immediately reminded me of you and your Freakshow and love of oddities. His name is @MrSauga and he's a great grower and a friend to me. Check out his Zombie plant. It's so cool. Here is the link to the post. :cheesygrinsmiley:
