Emmie's Perpetual Vegetative Grow Rooms - 2020-2021

[TorturedSoul]

This morning I found two of the kosher daddys are up

You already know that they're males ?

 

[Emilya Green]

You already know that they're males ?

and that they have been eating correctly

 

[The Phantom]

Kosher and male, when's the brit milah (bris)? Haha

 

[Emilya Green]

One more came up while I was at work... already we have done better than the old seeds, by far, and we are definitely expecting more.

We were going to start building walls today, but last night I had a mishap and I broke my cell phone. I can not live without texts and my digital links to everything around me. The trip to the lumber yard was replaced by a trip to T-mobile. Building will start tomorrow morning instead... I am usually off on Fridays so I can "work at home."

All the Durbans have sunk... and in about 3 more hours I will plant them without any of this paper towel or starter nonsense... right into the Happy Frog they will leap, 2 doing belly flops, one landing on her head and the other on her butt.

Welcome back, my friends
To the show that never ends
We're so glad you could attend
Come inside! Come inside

There behind a glass
Stands a real blade of grass
Be careful as you pass
Move along! Move along

Come inside, the show's about to start
Guaranteed to blow your head apart
Rest assured you'll get your money's worth
The greatest show in Heaven, Hell, or Earth

You've got to see the show, it's a dynamo
You've got to see the show, it's rock and roll

Right before your eyes
We'll pull laughter from the skies
And he laughs until he cries
Then he dies, then he dies

You've got to see the show, it's a dynamo
You've got to see the show, it's rock and roll

Soon the Gypsy Queen
In a glaze of Vaseline
Will perform on guillotine
What a scene! What a scene
Next upon the stand
Will you please extend a hand
To Alexander's Ragtime Band
Dixieland, Dixieland

Roll up! Roll up! Roll up
See the show

Performing on a stool
We've a sight to make you drool
Seven virgins and a mule
Keep it cool. Keep it cool
We would like it to be known
The exhibits that were shown
Were exclusively our own
All our own. All our own

Come and see the show
Come and see the show
Come and see the show
See the show

See the show​

You have such a Daltry voice in my mind! Loved it!

 

[Emilya Green]

You have such a Daltry voice in my mind! Loved it!

Daltry could have done it, but that was Greg Lake of ELP who died just a couple of years ago. I attended one of their concerts back when I could still hear, and I can still hear him belting out this song in my mind to this day.

 

[TorturedSoul]

I broke my cell phone. I can not live without texts and my digital links to everything around me.

Have you got a laptop or desktop computer? If so, there are ways to send/receive text messages with them (and the bonus of having a real physical keyboard). I think one is called AirDroid, but that's not an endorsement. Also, your cellular carrier might have its own. Mine does, and it's better known for charging customers $10 to $25 per month than for offering an extremely large number of convenience features. Also, maybe if you let the community of users (if your carrier has a community forum) know that you are in need of a cell phone, someone will dig one out of their closet and send it to you. No guarantee it will be of equal or better worth than the one it'd be replacing, of course, but...

The above is for future consideration, as I assume that trip to the cellular store was to get another cell phone. Been there, done that. I dropped mine so many times - onto wood floors, blacktop, concrete, gravel, down the basement stairs (missed the last half of them when its path took it off to the side, but it also missed my deep sump pit, so it worked out, lol), even once slid off the dash of someone's truck and out the passenger side window in a curve - that it had chunks out all over the perimeter and the back was half "road rash," and it kept on working like a pre-electronics Chrysler. Then I placed it onto the nightstand one evening and it was pooched the next morning. Life really is a gamble .

No kidding? I was getting the Tommy album in my head. Maybe both did it, and or I'm confused. It's a super tune!

 

[StoneOtter]

I went and listened to it. Now that's a great old song! It has awesome keyboards, drum solos, very musical. I can't say where the thought of the Tommy album came from. Stoner

Yes, I have no less than 6 computers here in the house, and Ms. J. has a few more. The problem isn't the lack of ability to send texts, but is my world's ability to communicate to me via text. Since I can't hear audible alerts, a device that vibrates to alert me to loud noises, phones ringing, doorbells being rung, kitchen timers, cars honking at me, etc. is very handy and my smartphone is my lifeline anymore, and I count on it more than most people do, even though I never speak a word into it. As a result of this, I usually end up with a fairly high end cell phone to be able to run all those apps, and here at the new house 5G was a must... I settled on the Samsung Galaxy A71

 

[TorturedSoul]

That's a nice phone! $379.99 at B&H Photo (or $600/month on T-Mobile's "24 $25/month easy monthly payments plan" :gasp: ) puts it out of my price range, but that's significantly cheaper than what I expected for something that you referred to as "a fairly high end" cell phone. I forgot about the hearing loss. A rapidly flashing computer display is only helpful if one happens to be in the same room, I suppose. I'm glad you found something that you like, and that suits your needs. Don't break this one .

I vaguely recall seeing a television commercial for a pendant (could be worn on a necklace to lay against one's skin, IIRC) way back in the '80s that was supposed to vibrate strongly in... can't produce the word (has been happening more and more, <ARGH!>). Doggone it. Like, if someone in a nearby tapped their horn in a "beep, beep, beeeeep" pattern, the pendant was supposed to vibrate to match - short, short, long. I don't know whether such a thing would be of great use to you, or if they're even still being sold. I have hearing loss and tinnitus, but can still hear. I count myself fortunate (for a variety of reasons).

I hope you post a review of your Durban when possible (and that I find and read it).

I haven't been paying attention the entire time, so this may have been mentioned already, but: Do you add additional perlite to the Happy Frog product?

 

[Emilya Green]

I have several devices to help me "hear" the world around me. My favorite is an earbud device that vibrates with sound, much as you described the device you are remembering... it is almost as good as actual hearing once you get used to it. I can "hear" someone talking in the room, so that I can turn around and read their lips.

My Mercedes has a special package that blinks a dashboard indicator when a loud noise is heard and its symbol is a horn, so I can apparently "hear" someone honking at me as well as some of the loud vehicles as we pass. It reacts to a loud motorcycle engine at a stop light.

So with my tools and gadgets I can "hear" enough of the world around me to get along as well as anyone, and indeed I can fool people who don't know me, for a while... until I need to speak. My phone alerts me to many things, and is tied in with our alarm system and my sonic alert, and pulls all of these devices into a central monitoring system that makes me feel very comfortable and not at all "disabled", I am simply audio challenged, and I can read lips on top of that, which is really a sort of superpower. Not many of you audibles can clearly "hear" a conversation across a crowded room filled with chatter and noise and music... I can.

I also am greatly looking forward to the Durban, and have been dreaming of the day when we had the lights, space and knowledge to grow such a strong sativa, and do it right. I am actually growing several sativa dominant plants this run, so we are going to modify what is normally seen in these journals... I don't want to mess with a plant that can easily reach 7 feet tall in a 6'6" room. We are not going to fool around very long in veg with any of these... maybe one quick topping and then we are heading for bloom. If they get out of hand even so, we will resort to supercropping to tame them. I expect an adventure.

The soil, after my long adventure with well used soil, is centering this time on soil right out of the bag. The good people at Fox Farms say this stuff is good to go as it is, and I believe them, and it does include a good bit of perlite. Every planter that I prepare until further notice will be well worn supersoil with Vulx in the bottom third of the container, then a layer of Ocean Forest up to the halfway point, and then Happy Frog to fill out the top half.

 

[Emilya Green]

but that's significantly cheaper than what I expected for something that you referred to as "a fairly high end" cell phone.

This is because I am totally over IOS... Apple can take a flyin.... I digress. I refuse to spend $1200 on a cell phone that I don't talk into. Nope... no more. I am done. Android and I have become fast friends.

review of your Durban

 

[Emilya Green]

Five of the Kosher Daddys are up now... and I expect to see the 6th. New seeds and new light soil seems to make a huge difference.

It has only been 12 hours, but no early risers in the Durban group.

Now I have a new problem... multi stage veg room. I have already pulled out the GrowWant light that I won and will be pressing it into service. This grow is getting complicated already and I will probably need to utilize yet a third light when the Durbans come up. It is nice to be flush with LED lights, even though some are much better than the others... I can make this work.

Very Nice. Cant wait for photos...
Also rocking a Samsung Galaxy A7, good phones.

Regarding germination, I've had good success with bottled water floating seed for 10hrs and planting directly. But the best for me is, put seeds in folded paper towl, soaking the hell outta it. Squishing it flat between hands to remove excess water, place inside container with lid and place in window ledge. Open once daily and usually have all seeds pop within 3 days. Then just plant them

 

[Emilya Green]

Here are the original girls, enjoying a bit of real sunshine together while we get ready for today's construction

 

[Emilya Green]

Construction has started. We got overwhelmed just getting the $300 of lumber in the house and upstairs, but we have made a good start, and hope to get the walls up and covered with plywood today. I have an urgent need to get another couple of rooms ready ASAP, with several staggered generations of young plants in process as well as some older plants who also are needing some special attention. 3 of our original girls are just about ready for their topping and taking of the first clones, and then 7 days later, here comes yet another generation of young cloned plants and the need to slow things down a bit, and to that end, develop a few mother plants, that will be used to clone off another generation of these plants for the next bloom run. The goal is to keep both sides of the operation at maximum legal load limits for a while, and then gauge what sort of production that will give us. It is our thoughts that without filling up our home with dried and cured pot, well exceeding our legal limit to have on hand, we will not be able to run this operation full time, full speed, all through the year. I have told everyone that their consumption levels will need to be drastically increased, and we are looking for creative things to do with our product.

I can't wait to build a house out on the property I have out in the country so I can design and build a grow room. Right now I have to settle for tents in my current house. Are you legally allowed to make concentrates or edibles?

I can't wait to build a house out on the property I have out in the country so I can design and build a grow room. Right now I have to settle for tents in my current house. Are you legally allowed to make concentrates or edibles?

no. This is licensed exclusively to others, all I can do is grow my medical supplies. There are specific cannabis licenses available in Missouri for cultivation, dispensary, manufacturing, testing, and transportation.

This doesn't mean that some product may not occasionally get spilled into some butter or coconut oil around here... we tend to be sloppy... accidents happen. I am sure that we will end up misplacing a lot of pot too. I plan on marking some down to rodent damage and of course any product over 3 months old will have to be destroyed (somehow) to make room for fresher product... this is medicine after all.
