My First Time Growing

[Lady Cannafan]

Good morning back.

I roll my scissor hash into little balls and play santa by dropping them into the kief catcher of someone's grinder without their knowledge. When they discover it later, it's a ball coated with kief - a pleasant surprise for them. If the ball gets big enough to be pea sized I press it flat in a coin shape and place it in someone's kief catcher

Good Morning everyone!

Smokey, you can also roll the sticky's off those gloves too. If they get really coated, just rub it off and roll it into a ball as Radogast suggested. ;-)

Hope you have a wonderful weekend and don't forget to join us at the 4th of July Smokeout thread!

Thanks Canna & Dennise, I appreciate that. On my next harvest, I will clean the gloves and scissors to get all the hash off them I can and just so everybody knows I won't be around much for the next week due to some medical problems and have to see a different Doctor and have some tests run but I'm sure I will be back to my old self in no time. But for now, The posts won't be as often and I won't be taking pic's until my medical problems are under control. I'm even going to have the watering and stuff done by my son (I'm not supposed to exert myself at all). But it shouldn't be long before I have the medical issues (Not my back, But I'll be fine I'm sure) straightened out hopefully. I'm still planning on stopping by the Smokathon Shiggity mentioned. In case anyone missed it, here's the link:
The Great July 4th Smok-a-thon of 2016!

Happy 4th Smoke. Hope you are doing well and getting things under control.

I just thought I'd check in, I'm doing alright and having an OK day as long as I take it easy and don't get stressed out. I just wanted to keep you guys up to date with how I'm doing. I even stopped in at the Smokathon. Hopefully, the Doc's will figure out what's going on with my B/P and heart, I'm still surprised they let me go home, but I'm guessing it's because I have Medicare and $$ always win.

Anyways, I wish you all a wonderful 4th of July and hope nobody gets hurt with the fireworks. I know the injuries they can cause because I treated them when I was still a real Firefighter/Paramedic before I was injured. Just be careful and take care of yourselves please! Sorry to sound like a Dad, But I really worry about you guys getting hurt since the 4th was one of our busiest shifts at the FD and KNOW what can happen when someone hurts themselves with fireworks, We had one patient that blew his hand off by holding (he say's it was a 1/4 stick, I'm more convinced it was a 1/2 stick going by the amount of damage that actually took part of his lower arm too) a partial stick of dynamite and not throwing it fast enough.

I will keep checking in when I feel up to it, so hopefully a lot! The last few days have been miserable and I didn't check my log and subscriptions hardly at all. Thank you guys for the concern, but I'm 90% sure I'll be fine after they add another bunch of meds, which is what I bet happens. But I can't do anything except to lose weight, (I've lost 45 Lb.s over the last couple of months) plus last July I weighed almost 270 Lb.s, now I'm down to 194 Lb's.

Have a great 4th of July!!

Thanks Smoke!

i never told you but you remind me of my cousin. He is retired nyfd. Believe it or not but you do.
I just wanted to check in. ----> Positive vibes your way.
Cheers.

Yep, it's amazing how people don't think when it comes to fireworks. I've had some close calls at firework shows sitting on the grass, one or two bottle rockets hit my area and one of them landed on a blanket with a baby on it!

This morning I was out in the back yard and saw a big yellow thing lying on the lawn. It was some kind of paper-ish big balloon that appeared to have had a mess of fireworks attached to it on a lower ring to make it air born. I have never seen one of these before, about two foot wide and 3' tall with a metal ring on the bottom. I figure it's a good thing my lawn had been watered in the evening because the "paper" it was made of was pretty burned up brown.

Anybody know what those things are?

[Smokeater]

Thanks Dennise, but I'm more worried about you now, I know you hate hospitals and when you go in voluntarily, I know how sick you are. I just wish I could help. All my positive thoughts are going out to you! Don't reply to this, I know it's a pain using that phone to reply. I just wanted you to know.

Woops, missed that post, Sorry! I'm honored to be a reminder of your Uncle especially if he was FDNY (That's what they are officially called, instead of NYFD they put the Fire Dept. first and call themselves FDNY). I met a few FDNY firefighters a long time ago at a Firefighters convention in Peoria, Il. before I got hurt (obviously), and those guys really know how to work! I was proud even listening to them describe calls that were a lot like the calls that were similar to some of ours.. Thanks Keltic, That put a smile on my face!

 

[Smokeater]

Just to let you all know, Hopefully I'll be back on later, But I have my cardiologist appointment in a couple hours and it depends on what he does.

 

[Lady Cannafan]

Sending good thoughts your way. Hope the appt. went well.

Sending good thoughts your way. Hope the appt. went well.

Just got home from appointment and ate, Doc wants to run some more tests on Monday to test my heart size and my blood, Doesn't sound bad from his tone although I was a little concerned that he insisted it be done so soon, He first told me he wanted to set it up for tomorrow until I told him we can't, I have another test in the morning set up by my normal Doc followed later by an appointment with her in the afternoon. I asked him if speed was necessary and he explained that Monday would be O.K., so I must not be dying at least

I'll try to check in again later, right now I just feel week all over but wanted to let you guys know I should be fine.

 

[JimmieJ]

Best wishes that everything turns out well, Smoke.

O.K., I've been taking it easy, But had to transplant the NYPD into it's 1 Gallon pot. I did that with no problems. So I decided to take pic's of my girls in veg today and if I have the help of my son, I'll take pics in the girls from the tent in natural light tomorrow when he gets home. Well here's today's pic's. First up is Amnesia Clone 2:

Then is the Delicious Super Silver Haze clone 2:

This is the NYPD:

Next is a seedling I have no idea what it is, I have a container for all my seeds, in containers each and labeled with (normally) with no lose seeds. I had found this one a couple months ago and just left it alone, While I was having problems germinating and didn't have any seeds I wanted to waste, I used that one and it germinated. So here is a pic of "Unknown":

And finally is a regular WW x MK (which I just saw I labeled it wrong):

As soon as I have more room and the NYPD has filled out a little more in the bookcase, I will be germinating and flowering right away.

I am hoping that tomorrow I can get those pic's, My son usually gets home about 6:00 and we should still have enough sun to take pic's of 4 plants.

Yesterday turned out to be a crappy day for me, My B/P was good and no chest pains, just felt week and crappy. I'm going to be taking it easy again today but I should be around on and off. The biggest reason it's a pain to use the computer is that my monitor died a few weeks ago and now I have to switch between TV and computer (I'm using the TV as a monitor until I can scrounge up an old monitor) to whichever one I want to use. And since I don't just sit on the board waiting for posts, It's usually on TV and I switch over every few hours and check . I'll be back to check if I got any posts or if new ones went out on the ones I'm subscribed too. I'll be fine after all the tests are run and they've added whichever med I need. I'm really sorry for not being around much lately, but I just haven't felt up to much for awhile. Anyways, I'm way more worried about Dennise. Back in the hospital right away like that, She's the one I'm concerned about.

 

[Smokeater]

I just got home from the hospital and now just have to wait for the results from the Doc., but the guy doing the test said I shouldn't lose any sleep over the results even though he can't tell me how they went. My regular doctors office also rescheduled today's appointment when they heard I was having the tests done until Thursday, They said they'll have the results then. My helper got home early and I figured since I had his help, I took pic's of the 4 girls in flower. The first one is the Amnesia, which according to what I could find on her flower time, she should be ready for harvest:

Sorry the pic's aren't better, It seems like no matter what light I use, it's always dark, I'm going to have to find and put a stronger bulb in my room. Next we have the DCSSH (Delicious Critical Super Silver Haze):

Still learning because both the clones in the tent should have vegged more I think, But Who knows, I'll just be happy to be able to grow it and am learning more and more with each plant. Anyways the next one is the Truthband clone #1:

The next one should have had more time vegging. I found out when I attempted to defol her, The Amnesia clone #1:

I took multiple pic's of each and picked the best to post. I am a crummy photographer. Sorry, but my hands are a little shaky now. I will get a pic of the buds on the Amnesia next, I think she's ready, Just want to be sure. Supposed to be 65 to 77 days in flower and it's day 72 I believe.

 

[Smokeater]

Here are the pics of the bud of the plant I intend to harvest if no one has any objections. The first is just a normal viewing size:

Next up are the best close ups I could get of this bud:

O.K., Unless someone says I shouldn't, I'll harvest her on Friday, That would make 77 days in flower tent.

They all look awesome Smoke, but those top buds on Amnesia are huge!!!
