TRNH not over 25 hours since germ so
i’m like where my tap shoed ladies? Hih?

See if he gets back to me. I mesn some people do stiff other than obsess over seeds a popping, I guess 🤷🏽

Nick & Co & TRNH

(Main groe all cool, thanks - Day #59 flower Day #90.5 since tap tap) come grils. Do it - a few more days 🤣)
 
understand you transcribing your wife's English the way she says it, but do you actually talk to her with the same English-as-a-second-language sentence structure?
Not always but mostly - especially if she’s been with her Thai friends/family for most the day. She forgets I guess. She probably speaks to me in Thai 30% of the time? I rarely understand it at all - my Thai apart from basics like counting is poor. Never stuck as well as my Cantonese did. My Chinglish is very good too.

We talk what some people proably deacribe as “Thailish”. A “pidgin” Communication is a real problem here so using certain words with very deliberate stress and inflection points when speaking English is a real thing.

Thai’s talking to Thais will sometimes do it as well. Thai as a language isn’t very good for clairifying things - plus which athai lamguage are we talking. & Co speaks Southern Thai - her mother’s language. Clicky sounds, my mother in law when she comes to Phuket only has one friend of ours she can speak to. & Co though went to went to school in Bangkok from 14 years old ao she also speaks urban Thai. Then she speaks Essan or northern dialect as well as all the girls that used to work in the bar she ised to own were from there.

I once bought a pig in the next village along from her home. As the crow flies a mile. I bought it on the Tuesday, named it Saturday and asked it to be fattened up and delivered on the Saturday. It was for roasting on a spit which my brother in law was welding up. & Co explained how we wanted Saturday butchered, as in not much because we wanted to put it on a spit.

Arrived Saturday morning in two black builders sacks a dozen bits in each.
- Honey why? Why they chop like that, needed one piece.
“Ooph - they not speak same Thai like me. Other side the river”
😂

Our lawyer and Doctor (Thai) speak even more pronounced Thailish.

Its just get along conversation. The lexicon is smaller.

La lingua franca is now English. But the first one was a mixture of arabic and latin - the language of trade. Speak anyway you can where both sides understand.

I switch from talking to say our builders to a call with HK Chinese people about day job stuff I have to consciously swap language sets.

I hope I capture the affection.

Now I have to see if the emergency sparky can get here -

A whole (different one) light has gone down.

Really become totally unimpressed with these lights. This one is 5 months old. Whole thing out.

Going to sell them. Totally had enough.

Yes. Her English ain’t great. 90% maybe higher of mixed nationality couples here do.

There are some weird ones - armoury for wardrobe. From French I think? Arm or - reee

Nick
Hate to keep asking but you still haven't answered my question! I know how she speaks. But in the dialog you posted, you quoted yourself as speaking as she does rather than someone from an English-speaking country. So my question remains (out of sheer curiosity): is that how you actually speak to her.

You say “you not play poker. You very bad at poker”?
 
Yes I do. I speak pidgin at home. Well to my wife. My step kids speak zero English basically. Papa. Thank you. That’s it.

The poker thing - yeah she's the world worst poker player! Concealment, bafflement and ability to surprise having played her cards close to her chest? These are all weapons in her armoury - until such time as there are cards in her hand and money on the card playing rug 😂

She fixes the light (she’s currently on the roof of the flower room) there will be only one language required.

“And when these words are found
Let it be known that God's penmanship
Has been signed in the language called love”

- Never let me down, Kanye/Jay Z, J Ivy)

We were throwing rap songs at each other and singing along last night. Think that’s the last song we listen to 😂

So stressed when she does stuff like this.

I’m like - lets just chop those 7 plants. They’re the most ready of all.

Nick
 
Its amazing how,

a) incredible thing the human brain is
b) noticing how different people have different super powers.

& Co’s ability to quickly remember long strings of numbers, pre mobile phones I was good. Tell her a 10 digit number she’ll recite it back next day. No way can I do that with out saying it out loud 20 times. Then again loads after. It sticks for her. But words and intonation I can do easy. Whole conversations from years back. Weirds people out sometimes! I don’t write it like that pidgin way for effect!

The lovely little firecracker punchy spicy bundle of epicness just walked out the room towards me. Kissed her teeth, winked at me with a tilt of the head and said “You checking for me Papa?”

She knows I haaate her calling me “Papa”!

😂

“I know it even before the cards are turned over” (Mike McDermott - Rounders)

“Now I go trim, Okaay!”

- Oh babe, I thought you fixed long time ago already, thanks 😂

There may have been a bit of high fiving and cuddles after!

❤️

(EDIt - I think I cracked a rib trying to wriggle to the burned out factory fitted power connector for the light (3/3 gone now) she with some electricians tape and a pair of pliers managed to do a temp fix. I couldn’t reach.)

Woah busy day!

TRNH has some of the tinest little taps appeared. One looks ok. I had to really zoom in to see anything from pcitures downgraded by using an instant messaging program.

I guess they’re at 440-45 hours now mix of water and 3% Hydrogen Peroxide. Sooo slow. Reckon we’d be potting by now. All things we do I tried to replicate but compared to us slow.

Thr only diffwrentials I can think of is background humidity. Ours have always - even in the safe in a darkened cupboard got more humidty than northern europe and ours aren’t sent in nice sealed foil packets as we get “stealth”. The only other thing is the H2O2 swimming pool water. Maybe it has a secret ingredient. I know @InTheShed has a theory about another component of my pool water is 😅

Not worried. No rush. Just interested in the “why”

Any 4 little tadpoles of OG Skywalker and Mimosa Auto Punch. Next stage is prepped. Litlle potlets in a propogation machine by the window.

Maybe tomorrow they’re ready. He’s also really bisy at thr moment with a massive house rebuild finishing up that’s been going like, oh easy over a year. Whole place. So we try and manage the time for this project. I’m picking routes to harvest that reflect that. Easy stuff.

Gosh I hope I get him to flower! 😅

Graduation Grow Day #60 Flower

There is a bunch of cunning linguist stuff between me and Shed above. Its too long - didn’t ready for most I suspect.

But while we were bantering about words and the language I talk to my wife in - a light was broken. That I couldn’t fix. I found that ai was too big to wriggle along to the cable that had started to fuse.

Having & Co up there doing it I find stuff like that hugely stressful. So babbling away with Shed was a nice release because Inwas also like doing my dsy job same time which is monster busy. 😅 Even though she is extremely capable. I can be a worrier about certain things. Some stuff I’m like meh whatever. Stuff terrifies most people. Big softy about the fam. Drive across the world with no experience. Yeah no worries mate! Another video below. Anyone got any feedback let me know. Audio - hate your voice use subtitles! Whatever let me know. If the Age Ristricted thing puts you off - there’s no profanity or anything like that. The algos pick up from the images that its cannabis cultivation so its got to be 18 years and above. Just need to sign on to Youtube free account, ise your email - anoyone using Android already has a Google account generally. Give them a whirl. You might hear me here me yawn sometimes. I’m just busy. These are quick and kinda fun to do while the plants water.

I’m not dissing the light manufacturer. This stuff happens with large scale manufacturing. The lights were bought within say a month of each other. Maybe a bad batch. Still very good lights. But its really a safety thing now. We’re had to maintain these cables too much. We had a pulley explode hit me in the face. Despite we usi g two hands and a careful motion. I’m done in my head with them.

Its all good. Got some alternate plans for them. They’ll go somewhere nice.

& Co - yeah she’s crushing me today. She teckons she’s brokered a deal for like an absurd amount of weed. Like 100lb. Dunno. She’s done that - wow like I wowed to some plants this morning.

Hope the movie is of interest to someone out there!

Nick
 
Oh I forgot - use you favourite search engine service and and try “Pidgin London restaurant”

Umm “what the little brother did next” perhaps? 😅

Can’t believe I forgot to mention that given how many times I used the word this morning.

Wow I’m bushed like one of Cola M’s havested plants!

Nap time!

Nick
 
Lolz today. I’m
Actually thinking of chopping a small ripe cola of the FierceFire - Island Mad Sativa - there’s even a plant got a hint of the purple about her! Re veg!

Anyway I reckon it will help for next few days of day job lunacy that was dropped on me at 2pm today. Meh. Something to do, what was the alternative? No plans, or even thoughts of plans. 🤣

I’m honestly laughing. I see the complete of absurdity of it! Gotta roll with it.

Still had time for this movie though.

Played with some zoom meh , swoop! More slowly, next time” there’s nice - nice fly through there but too blurry at that speed!

Did I mention? Kinda bus , might explain the rushed nature of it! 😅

For those not interested in the vidz!

Day #61 Flower. All cool. All Kool in the Gang!


Nick & Co
 
Haha,

For once it wasn’t a deficiency! 😂🤣😅

My mantra, always a deficiency!

Loads of dead plants & Co sheepishly fessed to in our mother/veg tent. I’m rushing out the door asking her to switch the flush mix off to the flower when the timer I set goes.

“Babe, I think have problem in my vegetable tent, look for me honey?”

Pulls out Google Translate and presents,

“Root Rot”.

Uh oh.

From Thai sites she reads. People there. She days the special strain we were gifted first to die. They were indeed a pain to introduce as they arrived with white fly but we knew that so quarantined them.
That tent is 100% her operation. I haven’t mixed nutes or even looked in there for nearly two weeks! Gave her some numbers (mild mix, 2x 480w lights 18” at 50% 5-6 mothers in 3G, 30 more plants sorta 6-8” or so in 1G and and 2G. Weirdly a blue solo which is actually also nothing to do with me! Decimated.

Dead everywhere.

- Hey babe when did this start?

“Yesterday!”

(She looked gutted, yet defiant 🥲)

OK throw out the dead, make sure we have at least two of each the strains in each of veg and clone tents incase disease spray with white gun swimming pool water over the floor and walls (hydro peroxide) and throw those back in, and use all that water I just mixed through all - 150L

Yeah got there in the end. Someone - I may have mentioned it here - & Co def remembers because she made her standard me getting old and memory jokes to me. I thought I was missing 50L about three days ago.

Meh.

3.0EC food probably ain’t great you’re cruising along in veg with 18” lights at 50%. Chillaxed.

But once I took, disease and pests pff the table possibilities - oh!

Flush - I just mixed 200L of it.

Some are dead for sho!

But not close to what I thought!

IMG_3319.jpeg


These were on the throw away (too risky) list.

IMG_3317.jpeg


But now on the yeah you’ll be nearly all OK I reckon! Back in the tent!

And she trimmed off all the upset and hurt and we were left with actually - we can fill the room upstairs twice over. Panic over.

We’re left with the below photos after the laterz. I’m such a worrier! Already ordered mega fast shipping my seeds in Europe, fortunately meeting my mates with the farm who as they said after they’d give me 30 from seed plants with top end genetics at the size I need for free, (glut on) but think we’re gonna be OK!

The valve system for watering between tanks and outputs involves taking care. Generally 200L Tank goes to Flower. 100L to Veg. We can do 2 inputs to 3 Outputs based on valves/taps/faucets. 4 Outputs you count the 200L will fill the 100L to the same height due to gravity (and stuff) were both balves be open and the one before thw pump or after the pump before the street flush valve if its closed.

Human error. What ever.

Worse things happen at sea. I’ll fail proof it. Its not the first time stuff has not gone where it was intended.

We figured it out. High five.

We have enough plants!

We didn’t argue bestest bestest thing.

She, I guessed, saw it start the day after that missing 50L - 12G - but she tried to fix it on her own because it was a problem she hadn’t seen before. I ask her all the time - lime many times a day! Just said two heads better than one and all was OK

Oooph! 3.0ec in veg. Poor things! 😂

She’s popped out now / when she gets back we are going to have contra-temps then though - there is no ffff ing fan in that tent! I wondered why we had an extra red one lying around. That is a more serious issue! Like WTF? 🤣

Maybe because watering… 😅

I think there are myabe a dozen people with 100 yards and more than a hundred here on 420 better qualified than me!

But you’re very kind to say so!

I just got giesses!

Nick!
 
Not my tent!

Really - gotta divide the labour - and not micro manage & Co. We’d have solved it together, and next time we’ll be doing it together.

It was important to me (and it seems her!) she did that solo.

All cool.

Everyone needs freedom, is sorta what I’m trying to say.

Anyway not too bad.

We roll on - 9 weeks.

Gonna chop the strawberries and Indys tomorrow I think.

Smells so good in there. Gonna be guttd! Although they’ll
Smell good in the drying room too!

Nick
 
9 weeks. Ha. Not sure anyone has run the Indy’s longer in door. One review said,

“My mate accidentally ran it too long to 9 weeks and after smoking it I forgot how many lights there were in my tent (answer two!)”

I’ve smoked the greenhouse grown - early, 7 weeks, more sativa but beautiful flavour.

I’ve smoked indoor but not like hardcore indoor FCE won’t let me be, at height, 8 weeks, that’s amazing. We argue over it. But - everyone in that little collective is waiting for ours because yeah. Our room is pretty tight from the farmers that have seen it. Maybe a lock on the door from my mates 😂

Dunno - I don't think we’ll chop tomorrow which was the plan. Made a vid again because easy and can show way more. Bit on there about the @DYNOMYCO challenge grow - those Indy Solos - yeah they perked right up after their second feed of the day - greedy gannets!

I’m glad I didn’t separate them - see what’s possible. Because the efficiencies needed to grow in a 16oz pot seem to maybe teach you what to pay attention to in a 5 Gallon pot.

I’m sure ai’m not the first person to come to that thought!


Nick & Co - (I said she’d gone shopping (groceries) not chopping, but I understand you’re not sure! 🤣)
 
Day #64 of Flower for the girls.

No chop.

Gave them 2.4 EC 🤣 They look happy so why not 😂

A quick picture. Gonna try and do a video on the veg, clone and control area with & Co in a bit. But the rain is smashing down. Lights been on since early afternoon. Metal roofs and asphalt, bog drops of rain with a decent lick of wind! Not great for background noise though! That gives me an idea! I’ll just film it and take out the sound. We can dub it after! It’ll be like Chess Boxing!

I’ll lose both sides 😅
