InTheShed Grows Inside & Out: Jump In Any Time

[TheMadDabber]

Hey the sour g looks good shed. And the NL is frosting up fast and early I love it! Sorry about your pops. I know which my great uncle he started wandering out the door and down the busy main roads so we had to move him to a secure unit. I really hope they will work with you and you can get it all sorted out bud. I can only imagine what kinda weight that's put on ya bud.... I wish i could be of more help.

How's the gold leaf? I remember you saying you were gonna try 2 different feeds for the gold leaf and the sour g. Hope they both come through winners for ya bud. Like I said plenty of time in veg to get them in stride before the big summer bloom.

Take care bud thinking of you and pops today.... and gramps

Thanks Them. Appreciate the thoughts. So glad GT is on the mend and hope he can pull off the MOTM tonight to righten the otherwise crappy ending to his month!

I'm not growing a NL. Did you mean the runty Auto Masszar? I'll get a pic of Gold Leaf tomorrow. I think the GL feeding had a better effect than the Sour G's did, so I switched Sour G over yesterday. I'm not sure I give them long enough at each change to note the differences. Do I need to wait a week to see the changes? That would be two feedings for most of these.

So sorry to hear about this stuff Shed. Hope things will work out how you want them to brother. Your situation isn't one I would wish upon anyone.

Thanks Van. I'm going to call his Dr again to make sure they are on the Marinol Rx. It can take them a while to get around to these when he doesn't go for an actual visit, and that's tough to do given my dad's state.

 

[Bilbobudkin420]

wow sour G looks like shes made from plastic ... amazingly pristine ... and Shed you must be teasing us by not posting an overview shot of AK ... i mean those colas already look amazing but i wanna see all 50+ of them in one shot please

I second that motion lol. What you hiding bruh?!

 

[Bilbobudkin420]

Sorry about your dad.

My Mom was going through some bad stuff mentally (most of in related to being a lifelong alcoholic) as well as physical stuff (back in Florida). She would fall from being shit faced drunk and not eating....so badly that she spent time in ICU. She doesn't even remember being in the hospital twice from that sort of thing, she barely remembers the last time. I could barely stand talking to her on the phone.....she wouldn't remember anything and repeated herself constantly. Thankfully my sister got her shit together and in conjunction with some bad things happening has come into a situation where she is going to move back in with mom and take care of her.
If she didn't, we were about to have to find some place for her to go, an assisted living facility. Still might have to do it if my sis can't handle it. Now oddly enough during the course of this, my mom just decided to quit drinking. According to my sis, she hasn't had a drink in 4 months. *Mind blown* This was a woman would go through 2 big bottles Vodka a week.

The 6 or so months I was dealing with this gave me enough insight to know I don't envy anyone in these situations. Sympathy is less for my mom and more for the innocent family members stuck with dealing and managing these situations.

Its amazing how you can speak so openly about your pain and that of your loved ones. Shows bravery. Im a coward when it comes to my own head, heart and skeletons in my closet. Im sure if I learned to open up more it would help me greatly.. I hope that day comes.... definitely aint happenin today though so no violins for me lol. If shes challenging herself and allowing you to challenge her without slipping back into her comfort it shows progress

Y'know, my sister lives in NY and has zero to do with my dad's life. She only sees or talks to him once a year when she flies out for an afternoon on his birthday. I have no idea why she bothers since she doesn't even call the other 364 days. And I really have no idea what would it would be like if my dad still lived in NY instead of out here. I'm sure I would have relocated him west a long time ago anyway.

But as much as I wish I didn't have to bear these decisions alone, I can't begrudge my sister her choice. This is who she is and my dad is so much better off out here.

Sorry about your dad.

Thanks Bilbo. Just the fact that I can open up about what's going on in my head on here has brought a great outpouring of support that I truly appreciate. You should try it. You really have nothing to lose and loads to gain from the good folks here at 420.

Sorry idk why I always want to switch NL for AK too many strain acronyms

Probably because AK is Alaska. I'd go with "47" to avoid confusion, but NM was the 47th state so that might confuse you because NM and NL are only one letter apart. The hard part is that I'm growing so many strains. Wait a minute...so are you!

 

[TheMadDabber]

I'll say this bilbo. Everyone has a skeleton in a closet somewhere.... I thought mine made me weaker but when I let them out they didn't hold power over me any more.

Van tells a great story about brutal honestly that he learned from training at one point. And it stuck with me. His officer (or someone of higher rank) came to his room and asked him why he was upset...

Van replied, "it hurt to hear what you had to say today"

And the commanding officers response was "well, did I say anything that wasn't true?"

What I took away from it was it's so easy to be honest or harsh with others but much much harder to eat our own cake. Which is to say, it' easy to dish it, but not so easy to take.

Sorry if that doesn't seem to relate totally but I'm getting there....

Being open about tough stuff just shows others your courage and strength and isnt a weakness at all. The only people who will see it that way do so because they can't come to terms with their own issues.

Maybe its cause I spent a lot of time after my dad died as an addict and lying to myself and everyone around me, but holding stuff in never helps.

Just my 2 cents from a guy who was scared to post too much of anything about himself here 6 months ago and now gives 0 phucks and feels much better doing so. You'll have our support when and if you ever wanna open up. I guess that's all I meant to say I the 1000000 word reply

 

[InTheShed]

I'll say this bilbo...

MadDab's thoughts replace the overhead pic of the AK-47 that I did not post today. It was well worth holding off on it.

 

[Derbybud]

Sorry to here things aren't going to well with your dad Shed. It's always hard dealing with a loved ones issues. Stay strong brother and just know you're in my thoughts.

 

[Derbybud]

Oh and like always your garden is looking magnificent.

Thanks Derby. I appreciate it. Hoping for the best and waiting to hear from his Dr.

Shed! The Triches are psyched out! They are like diamonds in the sun! I feel for you Bud! I had to go 2 state away to help my Dad's staff remember they work at a hospital not a concentration camp. I'm not a physical person but it almost went there. Staff is back in line now though. Things like this usually turn out better in the end anyways. It's the stress we cause ourselves that makes it feel like a problem. Good luck my friend! Love to your Pops!

Thanks Ripe. I hope you dad is doing well now that you've straightened out the staff! Gotta be firm with hospital staff or they might try to treat him like just another body moving through the system instead of an individual. He's lucky to have you.

Well it's raining in LA so everything is shed-bound. But before I tucked them all in for the day, I got a couple of pics.

Here is the requested aerial view of the AK-47 on flip day 38!

AK-47 flip day 38

You can count if you like but I'm sticking with 59 for now .

Here is a shot of Gold Leaf, another of the ones that don't appear here very often. Tomorrow is watering day if the weather improves.

In the shed due to rain

I sent a long email to the head of the assisted living place last night at 11:23 and got a response six minutes later! Obviously the guy lives with a phone in his hand . I have a meeting a meeting set up for next Tuesday. I hope my dad keeps his mitts to himself until then.

Stay dry all!
