on my grafted girl to male root stock, the male went through two rounds of producing the pollen sacs that I had to keep plucking. Would it be your advice to strip that male root stock of it's foliage to concentrate on the upper gal?
My advice would be to use a
female plant to graft onto, lol. Preferably one from a mother that you've stressed (or stressed the cuttings of) every way you can think of including light poisoning - and found no tendency towards hermaphrodism. At that point... You can be reasonably certain that you won't be seeing any male flowers, methinks.
It looks like this hobby in large part, may be cause of the permanent break down of me and my girl. We've been together through thick and thin yet recently were going in different directions. She's the love of my life without doubt, but my life's dreams are within my grasp almost and yet now things crumble.
She not a cannabis user, or doesn't like you growing it? Oh man. that's rough. Like everything else in life, though, if she is against something and you are for it, and you're not willing to give that thing up in order to keep your spouse, then maybe (well... probably) sooner or later a judge would end up granting a divorce on the grounds of irreconcilable differences anyway. I was actually in your situation once. (Then) wife decided that she didn't feel comfortable with me growing and asked me to stop. I did - in fact, I called and woke a friend up (this was a late night conversation we were having that provoked the phone call to my buddy) and told him, "You know when I did that favor for you at great cost to myself, and you told me that if I ever needed something to just call and you'd drop everything and be right over? Well GtFU and get here now - and bring your trailer." We spent several hours disassembling and removing a grow setup. I even gave him what was left of my most recent harvest, pipes, papers... <SHRUGS> Figured why bother with half measures, lol. But the thing is, well... The woman and I had been growing apart for a while. I later realized she only said what she did because she figured there was no way I'd quit growing, and my refusal would have made things easier. She eventually found other reasons to leave - and, thinking back, if she hadn't found reasons... I would have. It was sad, really - I was only about three weeks from harvest
.
There have been a couple women since then that have had
issues with such things. But, since I never cared enough about either to marry one or the other, it was a no-brainer - See ya.
I hope you two work your differences out. Either that she becomes more comfortable with your hobby (perhaps, if you're growing at home, you can find a different location), you decide to give it up, or you part as friends. Whatever ultimately works for you, I guess. Take some time and decide where your true priorities lie, and have her do the same. No since getting into a situation where you end up hating each other - or of parting over something that might not be as important to the relationship after all. Don't do what I did and make your decision without
thought, though (whatever you decide).
That's just my advice. Take it or not, your choice. Whatever happens, I wish you (both) the best.
Sorry to hear the news. It's too bad she can't be like me and have a profile too, you know, be a team instead of letting it tear you apart. Best wishes to you all. Sorry to hear the sad news.
High Light... I'm so sad to read this...
I have so much empathy for Ms Lights issues... as you know I deal with them myself and it is so hard on fella at times... I don't go out with him but he also knows I don't get mad when he does go out and when he travels... if I'm not able I don't stand in his way of going... I think if I made him feel like he had to have the same restraints I put on myself we would have never been able to make it... I'm sending her all the very best karma I can muster to be able to maintain... it is so much easier said than done sometimes but I have a feeling she probably knows how important this is... Is there any chance she would understand you going it alone just to the expo..
I realize most women wouldn't see the humor in it but under the circumstances it might be better than taking the chance on a breakdown... Just a thought and truly none of my business... If I can help in any way you know where I am my friend... Love ya Mean it......
