SweetSue is awesome and a great person to study under for what your looking for. I hope your little girls produce well for you.

I actually just strained and tested that batch of cannabis honey I wrote you about a few days ago. Had to rush to the dentist yesterday because of an emergency situation. After the pain meds, I was down for the rest of the day, so I finished it this morning. All I can say is, wow. The stuff really works.

Okay, my update for the day. A little late, but the pics were taken this morning, around 10:30 MST, shortly after I woke. I woke later than usual. Not a good sign for a shitty day ahead. And it has been so far.

Anyway, here's my damaged demented little girl. She looks so forlorn and pathetic in that big cup that surrounds her. But there are positive signs. New growth, new leaves coming, no new damage that I can see, anyway. She's got a stalwart heart, that girl. I'm doing my best. She's one of the Big Buds, for those who don't know.

And this is my other Big Bud, coming along, too. A little behind the Pineapple Express's, which you'll see after her.

And this is my second largest Pineapple Express, both of which are larger than either of the Big Buds. Three of my babies are ready to transplant, can you guess which ones? I'll be transplanting on Wednesday into 1 gallon containers, and then later into their 5 gallon fabric pots -- whenever they arrive...

And this is my largest girl in the playground. She's a Pineapple Express, too. Good for depression and motivation, I read...

Well, there you have it. My demented little girls on the 19th day of their lives.
 
Re: Magnus8's - Coco Coir - Big Bud & Pineapple Express - First Grow Ever! - Grow Jou

Make sure u keep tapping the leaves so that the stem bounces back and forth. Obviously not vigorously, but enough to sway them. Do it on each plant for about a minute a couple times a day. It does not hurt the plant at all, just makes its supporting stem stem stronger and more grounded. Try it, it works!

Um just sayin yeah I agree with the tip! poke them girls around a little bit makes them toughened up! Also I don't think I ever said why I stopped by this journal. Its cause I like big buds and I don't know why.
Seriously just watching that Big bud. " Why" you ask.?..a stubborn cross. BB x NL (long story) just like the BB side..sorry was I rambling again....
 
Re: Magnus8's - Coco Coir - Big Bud & Pineapple Express - First Grow Ever! - Grow Jou

Ok first thing first :hugs: Your wife is tired and scared from the long drives in bad weather, she needs a breather :hugs:
Take a deep breath, explain to her that you are growing for both of you. Depression can be treated well with cannabis too.
Give her all my love and I feel with her :hugs:

YOU will be fine :hugs:
Your ladies will be fine too, weed is like love...takes a lot to kill :Namaste:
 
Re: Magnus8's - Coco Coir - Big Bud & Pineapple Express - First Grow Ever! - Grow Jou

Got hit with a sucker punch last night. My own fault; I wasn't watching the signs.

My wife is leaving me in March. Going back home to Sault Ste. Marie. Not coming back.

I'm so damned angry it's hard to contain it. All I want to do is cry. I know this isn't the place to air my personal crises, but I'm not sure who else to tell.
 
Re: Magnus8's - Coco Coir - Big Bud & Pineapple Express - First Grow Ever! - Grow Jou

It's not the growing, AngryBird. It's lots of things. I mentioned to her that she shouldn't make big decisions when she's depressed, but she countered it with that she's been thinking about it since October -- before she became depressed this winter.

It's over. Just over. There's nothing I can say or do to change her mind. When Ginette makes up her mind, well, that's it. She makes up her mind. There's no changing it. And she's made up her mind.

She wants to go back to the Sault. She has ever since arrivign in Alberta. I've known this a long time, but thought we could save the money to move back together. For us to move back together, it would take several thousand dollars. For her to move back alone, all she needs is a bus ticket. She recognizes that we have 2 dogs (that SHE wanted, btw, not me) and that they complicate matters incredibly. How are we going to find a place to live that will accept 2 large-ish dogs? She knows the complications. This is the easy way out for her, something she always takes.
 
Re: Magnus8's - Coco Coir - Big Bud & Pineapple Express - First Grow Ever! - Grow Jou

Coughing. ... sorry man that is some heavy stuff. If you feel like letting it out go ahead and do where every you dang well please! I know I bottled up way to many times in life. You have to let yourself feel it accept it and move on. It just doesn't always happen overnight. Maybe you still have time to work on things. Old flames can be hard to extinguish.
One day I will get some medication for this rambling...
 
Re: Magnus8's - Coco Coir - Big Bud & Pineapple Express - First Grow Ever! - Grow Jou

This is hat is do good about this community. It is about everything.
You can even start a off topic thread and call it " Magnus venting his feelings/ Magnus way back to happiness"" for example, and write about anything you feel at the moment. People here support in any way they can.:circle-of-love:
 
Re: Magnus8's - Coco Coir - Big Bud & Pineapple Express - First Grow Ever! - Grow Jou

No need to medicate your ramblings away. It's a good thing, to be able to talk. I wish I could right now.

And thank you AngryBird. Just... thank you so much.

I feel so damned lost and alone. Ginette has been my best friend for 10 years now. We started our relationship off first as friends and it moved into what it became, whatever that was. When I'm here, in my office, the tears start to come. But when I get up, wipe my eyes and go out into the rest of the house, where she is, I"m completely dry eyed, completely stoic, completely controlled. this isn't like me at all. Normally I'm the one who is reduced to tears. Normally I'm the one feeling things. She told me she didn't want to cry today -- even after last night's announcement. What the fuck am I supposed to do with that? What am I suppoesed to do, just pretending that nothing is happening when the love of my life is gathering up a few possessions and leaving me in the dust? Leaving all her shit behind for me ot sort through alone, to figure out what to do with? I know how things happen with her. She just up and leaves, leaving all the detritus of her past behind, just turning her back on the past and looking toward teh future, however bleak. I know this because I've seen her do it over and over again in other ways.

I"m not ready for that. I"m not ready to be left with her physical crap left in boxes and not in boxes, waiting for me to clean up and out of my life. And I'm not ready for her to leave. I"m so not ready for this. I don't want this to happen. And there's nothing I can do about it. Once she makes up her mind, her mind is made up.
 
Re: Magnus8's - Coco Coir - Big Bud & Pineapple Express - First Grow Ever! - Grow Jou

Well, from today to March, is a long way. So, let her calm down. Let her take a breath.
I still believe a lot has to do with all the driving etc.. heavy load to carry.
Could be some.." I am playing man of the house here and I don't like it" syndrome. Taking care of your needs..could be hard. Us women ( usually) like our men strong and "he takes care of me". Having to "support" and help your man, could be creating bad feelings sometimes.
It is not impossible to make happen, but it takes sometime for her to get used to.
 
Re: Magnus8's - Coco Coir - Big Bud & Pineapple Express - First Grow Ever! - Grow Jou

Gotta keep busy... Gotta keep busy...

So, I"m about to repot my pot (yes, pun intended!). I know that when growing in coco, you must add CaliMag to the water that the coco soaks in, but do you also add nutrients to that water? Kush? PE636? Anyone who grows in coco, or has grown in it wanna chime in?

Come to think of it, I would think not. Because I'm feeding them each time I water them. Adding nutes to the water I soak the coco in would add double the nutrients all the time, each time their little roots grow. I"m going to go with just the CaliMag for now. IF I make a mistake then the repurcussions are on me. Like always.
 
Re: Magnus8's - Coco Coir - Big Bud & Pineapple Express - First Grow Ever! - Grow Jou

I didn't pre soak with nutrients just a fairly weak calmag solution maybe 5ml in a couple gallons. I just let it set in a bucket for an hour then squeezed the excess water out. Sorry to hear about your relationship troubles!
 
Re: Magnus8's - Coco Coir - Big Bud & Pineapple Express - First Grow Ever! - Grow Jou

Damn man sorry to hear about your relationship troubles. I've come to the conclusion that all woman are crazy, it just depends on what level of crazy. I have some issues going on with my own mother, she is peaking at menopause right now and it can be very tough to deal with. I also have a fiancé who tends to tell me how she feels in anyway she feels necessary. They will return to their senses eventually, but it will take time. Their logic just doesn't come as quick as men, sorry for any woman posting in this journal :) . Can't live with them, can't live without em.

About the repotting, what I do is make sure that the coco has been saturated (not soaked) with PH adjusted water and some calmag at 1/4 strength. Then when you transplant the ladies into their pots, you will want to soak them with ph adjusted nutrients at 1/4 strength as soon as you place them into the pots. Make sure they get good runoff and you're set.
