Dennise - No Longer The Newest Of Newbies - Not Growing In MG - Perpetual

What is so great about today, Fifi? I am happy it is the best day, but what?

The picture shows a magnification of about 500 on that mature mealy bug. They are very tiny, about 1/8 to 1/4 inch, have powdery stuff on them, but they do have legs and such. The holes in the leaves...don't worry. Like you said, that happens outside. The yield of plants grown outside is superior to those we grow indoors if done correctly. Unfortunately, I have not found that correct way, but I'm learning.

For example: If LA ever grew outside in ultimate conditions, his yields would be in the tens of pounds from his 6 plants. Guaranteed. Provided no problems occur. Most problems can be addressed, but I definitely get why you wouldn't want to grow outside again. It is definitely an inner battle I am having. One one hand I love it, on the other I hate it.

Thanks Dennise,, I am full of questions and they seem to be directed towards you. :circle-of-love:
:peace:
Do you put pebbles, rocks or etc in the bottom of your smart pot for drainage?:peace:

Also how do you mix your pro mix and perlite is it 60/40 or do add vermiculite ? :Namaste:

Thanks for helping me out !:thanks:

Granny I don't add anything to the bottom and I don't add anything to the Promix except step 1 Growology. It already has perlite in it. I do top my pots with the hydroton clay pebbles to help distribute the water when watering. You are over thinking all this. The ProMix has everything it needs for use with Growology. That is the beauty of it. You don't have to add anything. The only thing that you should add.... and this is only is needed.... is possibly when watering add a little cal/mag but with the ProMix I haven't even had to do that...... Think of it like this. It's a weed and it only has 1 purpose on this planet.... to live..... so all you have to do is give it the best possible environment and it will grow. The nutes will give it everything it needs to grow to it's potential. The rest of it is to fill our own neurosis and usually is detrimental to the plant.... K.I.S.S........:circle-of-love:

I think that is what it was and I don't care how much I can get on a girl outside. I can just grow more inside and get the same yield......:circle-of-love:

Had to go to the stupid doctor and as usual he made me stay forever and did all kinds of stupid stuff and finally I just left so now I have to go back tomorrow. I know I should have just stayed and let them finish but to late now...:blushsmile:.....:circle-of-love:

Oh I'm fine. They are stopping the nasty med... It caused my white blood cell count to drop way to low and is causing anemia so no more treatments...:yahoo:...Now what they do now I have no idea but I am thrilled I am done with all that......:circle-of-love:
 
Those treatments are ferocious, the side effects made me feel like I had a bad case of the flu for a year !! The only time I felt any relief is when I would get shot on Fridays and didn't have to get another till Monday, by Monday I would start to feel some relief, but then it's time for another shot,,...took my shots on Mon., Wed.,and Fridays. Glad to hear you're off that treatment,,, but sorry about your blood test.
Hoping for something better for you that won't have such side effects...
Sending health vibes and positive vibes your way...
 
I'm just glad to be off more pharmaceutical poison. The blood work can be fixed as long as I don't have to have the treatments and IMO I don't. I didn't want to even start them in the first place. I am going to try and fight this with the meds I grow and I don't think it can be worse than what they have been doing to me. I really have tried to keep my head up with this one but I was beginning to lose the battle. I want to go to NY this summer on the bike and there was no way I could have done it still taking those treatments so as it turns out my fella just called and is on his way home and is taking a leave for a month or so and that just makes this perfect timing. We are going to upstate around the 2nd of Aug. and then coming back down the coast to SC. I am so excited...:yahoo:... I have already talked to the girl that will stay at my house and tend to my pups. My MinPin has diabetes too and has to have 2 shots a day so I am pretty picky about who tends to them. Actually since she was dx 5 years ago I have never left her except when I was stuck in the hospital and when that happens her daddy is here to tend to her... Anyhow I've got a few weeks to get my blood work under control and then I'm going for a long ride....:yahoo:.....:circle-of-love:

You deserve it D, enjoy that trip and try not to worry about minpin..I had to leave my Jack (rat terrier)for a week to have surgery in Alpharetta, GA ...it just about worried me sick to leave him. I absolutely have a special place in my heart for dogs.
Anyhow, I know in my condition it's hard to look forward to things or plans cause never know how I'm going to feel.
So now you have something to look forward to and get excited.
Really happy for you D!!!:circle-of-love:
 
I have 2 Rat Terriers... A blonde and white female and I know you have seen my little black and white male. He loves to eat my leaves off the plants and follows me around if I am messing with the girls... well, he follows me around no matter what I am doing. He is laying in my lap as I type...... They are the reason I don't do some things cause I really would rather be there with them and I do worry when they are not with me. My fella does get a bit aggravated at times cause I just plain won't leave them sometimes and there is only a very few people I trust to leave them with but got lucky in that my first choice to watch them is not busy that couple of weeks and I trust her to stay here in my house......:circle-of-love:
 
The B2B was put into flower today. She has gotten really big and has been in veg for 48 days. She was placed in the closet by herself until the Skunk Afghani is ready. She is the same age but not near the size... The B2B is in a 7 gal pot and the SA and the Green xxxxx are only in 5 gallon pots but I think about another week and the SA will be ready and probably another week after that I will throw the GC in there too.....
I can see on the Blue Monster and the Chocoloco a little bit of green where they are both just ready to pop but will wait to post a pic till they are thru the medium a little bit more. Still no sight of the White Widow auto.....
I am going to post a few pics of the Black 2 Black going into bloom day 1......:circle-of-love:

I'm happy to see you are off the Interferon. I don't understand how that would work with MS, but when I was on that for a year with two other very difficult drugs Incivek and Ribivirin, I also had to have injections of Nupigen for my zero white count AND I was not allowed to go to the movies, stores, anywhere there were kids, nobody could visit me in this house, I couldn't go anywhere; no immune system. Then my red tanked so low I couldn't breath and was hospitalized and they started Procrit injections, twice a week to bring my reds up. Now that white count shot? It stimulates your bone marrow to increase and produced forced white cells. Since it makes your marrow enlarge, it is like stretching the bones from the inside out so the pain is so intense I almost passed out many times.

I was constantly fainting from low reds, even with the Procrit and Nupigen. Still in full remission, it will be three years in March since I've been clean of virus. However I had my EEG this morning. They think I have a form of metabolic encephalitis, chronic, which is messing with brain function. YAY.

I'm glad you are off that chit. Sunday night on CNN is part two of the WEED specials that Sangye Gupta started earlier this year. They mention MS quite a bit. It really does help. In another country there is this drug called Sativex which this woman with MS takes and if she doesn't take it, she can't function. There ya go. I think you will be fine. Make your oils and butters and figure out your dose which keeps you feeling happy and there ya go girlfriend. The best medicine is the one that makes you feel the best. Period.

Love ya kiddo!

:green_heart:
 
I'm gonna give it a whirl cause if this is the best it gets it ain't worth all that..:blushsmile:... Seems I tore my rotor cuff in my right shoulder too. Now how in the world I did that I have no idea (probably cause of that nasty stuff they were giving me) cause it ain't like I'm out there slinging hay or anything but if it ain't one thing it's another but I'll just keep popping beans and they can keep their pharmaceutical poisons......:circle-of-love:

John thank you for the t-shirt and the amazing service. The step 1 got here today and I just ordered it Monday.....:yahoo:......... Good job man.....:goodjob:.......:circle-of-love:
 
I'm 100% on your side with this my friend. That's why I have the six outside, and now 5 inside. I transplanted my poppers today and buried them a little deeper so when I start to flux, I am going to do it EXACTLY the way LA tells me to. If I understand him. I am having trouble understanding stuff really bad. I am pretty freaked out, if you haven't noticed with all my complaining lately.

The new symptom I have is I mishear things. The appt today for the EEG was at 10:30a. She just called me on Monday and I walked to the calendar and said, let me write this directly on the calendar and I heard her say 8:30. It is the fifth time this week I did this. I missed Mark one day because I thought he told me some other time to arrive where were going to meet. Weird zit like that.

Coming to 420 has kept me going, kept me being social and talking. Cus I am frying my brains out worrying.
 
Well we're here for you Brooklyn and the only virus you can catch here is a computer one. 420 does a great job keeping that from happening.

Our pleasure for sure, Dennise. Thank YOU.
 
When you got here you were a complete beginner. I watched as John held your hand through that entire SBR grow and the rest. Now you are on your own for the most part and growing amazing weed. How can I not say something to people who are giving misinformation?

So now I just refer people to your journals. Screw em. If money was no object, I'd be living in a house with a huge professional greenhouse and this would not even be a discussion for me, but I don't have unlimited funding at the moment and I will be buying LED panels in the immediate future.

Good news, today's doctor (every day now) said I do not have psoriatic arthritis. YAY. Ruling things out.

I think you and Mark may be right. He says the same thing. Who will give em zhit if not me!?

:)
