I'm closing in on that retirement day as well Duggan. I try not to think about it but the closer we get the harder it is and every time someone you know retires it only makes time look like it's standing still for yourself.

It looks like forever now Duggan. You'll blink and it'll be upon you. Worth the wait. It's just the wait is always too long.
Hope you don't mind me showing up late for the show! Looks like it may have a great ending. I will just hang in the corner and refrain from tossing popcorn.

Yep - showing up for a job everyday that you don't like (anymore), gets to be a drag REAL quick. I've been very fortunate in that respect. Hang in there!
Great to see you oldergrower! Always nice to have another Oregonian along for the ride ... but I like popcorn.
It's not so much that I don't like it Pita but it will be great to never have to come in again.
look over there!!!!! WTHeck?? 2 weeks late?? sub'd 
Hey Major....just read an article in today's paper up here about pot and legalization. They say they will prolly mirror Colorado's laws to some degree. Question, if they do...then what are they ,as far as growing your own (how many plants etc)I know your not in Co. but does anyone know what the laws are currently in that state. Apparently some big shot from there is working with the Liberals to help formulate new laws etc. Cheers Gang!

WTH Ziggy? Get with the program!look over there!!!!! WTHeck?? 2 weeks late?? sub'd
I know it's been busy over on your side of the tent. Glad you made it!
I believe a Colorado resident is allowed to grow up to 6 plants, 3 of which can be in bloom.
That would be an upgrade to our current law. Right now we are allowed to grow 4 plants per household. That means if 4 adults reside at the same residence, they still only get 4 plants total between all of them. If you live alone, you still can have 4 plants just for yourself. Makes no sense at all. And Oregon does not distinguish between seedlings or cuttings and fully mature plants in flower for these rules. That's the part that really gets me. If you grow from seed, you have roughly a 50-50 chance of getting a female. If one is unhealthy or dies for whatever reason, it is easy to end up with only one or two plants (legally). I'm OK with 4 mature plants but I want to be able to have a few more growing as babies.
Thanks Major, sounds excellent. Now all of us up here just have to hang in there a while....I suspect at least a yr. ...we'le see eh!

DAMN dude, epic write up! You'd make a great brewer, if you aren't already
For all that work though, I feel like slapping some powder on 'em and sticking them in soil is SOO much easier. Different strokes eh? Again love the attention to cleanliness and detail amigo, I feel I have much to learn from you. Cheers!

Hoping other states and the Fed change quickly right there with you!
haha it really is only about an hours work in total with a lot of soaking in between. The real benefit is getting vigorous clones with roots in just a few days. I am a bit over obsessive about cleaning but I want to ensure 100% success with no yellowing of the cuttings. So this is to make sure that happens. The clones are so vigorous they take off right away. I used to do less cleaning but I started to get less than 100% just like Major was saying. So I bit the bullet and started cleaning. I am unwilling to lose any clones, one of them may be the pheno I can't afford to lose!DAMN dude, epic write up! You'd make a great brewer, if you aren't already

Good, glad to hear they're still all happy, happy! No, on the boys, they're with their mother this weekend. My oldest (14) doesn't go out any more and the 8 yr. old wanted to come over to my place for it but ,I need a break. have hockey with him tomorrow so....with all the hockey ,suppers and weekends at my place , it sometimes feels like I have sole custody and not her. Whenever they're at my house....when they leave , my fridge is empty...Thanks man!

Weekend Update (week #9)
14 days since the flip to 12/12
14 days since the flip to 12/12
Welcome to the most boring journal update on
Not much to say. These girls are on autopilot. I've given them nothing since the water they got last weekend. I know they are getting thirsty so I expect once per week is about right at this stage.
I'm really pleased with the progress on all of them. They all look good to me, but they are now too big for me to wrestle out of their phone booth. Shark Shock is the runt in the lower left. Pitbull is the tallest in the opposite corner, right-rear. They added several inches this week. I have about one more foot I can raise my lights before I have to get real creative. We'll see...
Just two pictures - one with labels - both under HPS (sorry).
The clones I took last week all seem to be hanging in there. I'm going to change their water tomorrow. I don't expect roots yet, but you never know. I can dream...
Have a great Halloween everyone! See ya around the yard.
looking great!!
