Let's toss in some twists....
If there is an infinite possible list of outcomes for say.... 1 billion coin tosses, one or some of those outcomes must be all heads or all tails. Imagine that human being's day.....

Very efficient method, Weasel. She is looking good. Looks like an easy trim with no bogus lower scruff to have to deal with and good yield up top!

Great job!

I suppose, on second thought, it is because it's luck we are talking about. Luck, a form of magic, exists outside the laws of physics, something which makes it harder to define, but all the more appealing.

Not to highjack mr W but it was magic that was holding me back from being rich as I am today.
Magic is bull, don't buy into it. Break the hypnosis comrade.
My new hobby that replaced that stuff was Texas Hold'em.
Now I am building my own race car

I like randomness in our world. It forms a safety cue in our world. I know, because I've seen random good or bad things happen, that any time I 'risk the farm' or put life and limb in risky situations, some random event may come along and cause my 99% sure bet to fail.... if you know what I mean. This causes humans to really be quite cautious beasts in our world. I think that may be why there are so damn many of us.

 

[Weaselcracker]

Yes there are so damn many of us. Hard to get past the incredible reality of that. Sometimes I manage to forget that living out here in Antarctica. Guess the reason I live here?
On the flip side, I think most people do believe in luck and magic and tend to look past most of the cold hard facts. It's an amazing part of life, the innate ability to carry on dreaming and hoping. And maybe that's also partly why there are so many of us. If we were inclined to look at the cold hard facts of what we are getting ourselves into on Earth, maybe we would stop thinking about our Mars missions and start thinking about our car's emissions. But what's the fun in that?
I believe we function better when we do think there's a little magic in life.
At least I do. I've worked so hard for so long to hypnotize myself into being not totally horrified at the state of things that I hate to break the self-hypnosis now. Texas hold'em ain't got a hold on me and I'll trade money for magic any day of the week.
I hope you'll take me for a ride in that car when it's ready Vlad. Perhaps a little high speed night time off road racing. High power rifles, a little seaside whale hunting. How relaxing. Or high power spotlights on a dark night. Winter solstice in December sometimes the unicorns come out. Imagine the glory, sipping vodka beside the fireplace on a trophy unicorn-skin rug. Ahhhhhh...What beautiful woman could resist?
триу́мф!!!
Hmmmm... I guess we will have to get two unicorns.
No problem! We must dream big Mr President!

Have no fear, o Modulators, this is cannabis related.

Thanks Ghetto and Vlad. I'm excited about getting more Mama Thai going. The one currently in veg is not feeling well Makes me realize how much I'll miss her if she goes. Not an option, no... I took a couple cuttings off her yesterday in the hopes of starting afresh. Otherwise if all else fails I have some more MT seeds somewhere...

Interesting Weas. I've spent my life in the world of data and numbers. When 'Magic' appears in my systems, it simply means I don't have a grasp of the situation at hand.
There are many 'magical' things I see in the world. When I see them, I sometimes can't even stop myself from digging into the situation to try to understand it.
This is bad. It's not a good way to survive in this world. It's much better to call it 'magic' and move on.
I'll give you a recent example. I roll thru the French Qtr. often on my bicycle. They shut down Royal street and 11am to allow street performers and whatnot to take the street. I was unaware of the shutdown and got pulled over by a cop. Now, mind you, there were no signs indicating the shutdown, and additionally, Royal St. is a bike path street with big bicycles printed on the pavement and many signs indicating the bike route. This caused me to have a discussion with the officer that had asked me to dismount. My objections and discussion led to a 90$ ticket. It was starting to lead to a worse place.... officers in our neck of the woods aren't paid to think or reason for themselves at all.... they just rely of violence of voice and action when even slightly challenged by questions.

I really wish I was a magic kinda person instead of a 1's and 0's kinda guy.
I wish I

 

[VladimirPutin]

I hope the cuttings take root -
They make awesome clones that are super bushy. You still have the ultrasonic propagator?

[Kriaze]

Mars missions and car's emissions, love that line Weaselcracker, pure poetry. As for magic I'm a great fan, watch this bud disappear *poof*

All the best

 

[nivek]

Well, dream big is right,, what if????????

What if mars missions led to better decisions about what to do about car emissions???

Well?????

 

[Weaselcracker]

Hey Vlad. The MT cuttings were taken from the wilty one in the veg room, not the currently flowering one. I did take a couple cuttings from the flowering one as well, quite a while back now. One died and one is still sitting there unrooted. Those flowering cuttings seem slow to root in my experience.
If the wilty plant cuttings take root I don't know whether or not they will be free of their affliction, but perhaps they will.
Aeroponic cloner I do have. It's not ultrasonic or ultra-anything else. Actually It is so non-ultra that I haven't even got it to clone anything yet. I was having general plant cloning issues at the time I built it though, and I'm pretty sure the cloner isn't to blame. I keep meaning to dust it off and try again now that I've sorted out the issues. It's just that my current technique with the coco and rockwool works so well, I haven't need to look any further.
No bites on the constant hunting expedition proposals eh Vlad? That's ok. I was mostly just kidding anyway. Unicorns are fluffy and nice and I would never actually shoot one. No unicorn dinners for me, I will stick with regular genetically modified corn.
I passed close by a pod of orcas just a couple days ago. They live around here and I see them sometimes, and their larger relatives. They are lovely creatures. They have big teeth. These ones just snorted at me as I passed by. I have a cold and was snorting and blowing too, maybe they were trying to communicate with me, just saying hi, or maybe they had colds too. Many whales have been washing up dead on our beaches this year. There definitely seems to be something going around. What could it be?
It seems somehow like we must go to Mars, and beyond. I hope we are capable of getting that far. It's in our DNA to keep exploring and creating and transforming. Humans, the magical monkeys, capable of such genius, and such loveliness too, when we rise to the occasion. Maybe we will rise up and magically transform things here on Earth.
Cold hard facts tell me otherwise. The way things are now, if we do make it to Mars, I feel sorry for the Martians. The facts around our current situation here at home are so cold and so hard, that it hurts to even look at them.
But I agree 100% that we have to dream big and I never really liked facts much, or cold hard things in general, including some people I've met. I prefer the soft and warm ones and I just look at facts when I need a starting point on which to base imaginary stuff. Ha ha...

Wait you said you are growing soiless but it looks like you ate growing in soil! What did I miss weasel?

Soilless isn't the same as soil less. lol. If I'm not mistaken it is a homemade soil mix. Don't hold me accountable though it might mean hydro, I'm still a little bit lost on that too.

 

[PotChimp]

Soilless mix is a potting medium that sometimes contains peat, sphagnum moss, coco, perlite (and sometimes fertilizer), but no soil.
Soil is defined as the upper layer of earth in which plants grow; a black or dark brown material typically consisting of a mixture of organic remains, clay, and rock particles.

 

[Mello136]

Amazingly helpful info! I went soilless then.

 

[Weaselcracker]

Mello, I'm growing in sunshine mix, which is the same idea as Promix- basically peat moss and perlite. This is a form of hydroponic growing. It doesn't contain/retain nutrients like dirt does. It holds water and gives the roots a living/dining room, while allowing easy control of nutrient levels. I use hydro PH levels of 5.8 -6.2
It's sometimes tempting to name this 'soil', for simplicity, as it looks like soil, and I personally get tired of typing 'soil-less' and 'medium' all the time.
CC if you read some talk of soil, it's because I'm sometimes talking about switching to soil so was discussing the pros and cons of that and how I haven't had time to get around to it.

 

[ClosedCircuit]

Ok phew I'm not crazy. I thought you meant full hydro. That makes more sense. I knew you were using promix. In my mind I was considering that soil. But I suppose it is not really soil.

 

[Weaselcracker]

No you're not crazy- it took me more years than I want to admit to figure out that I wasn't using soil. To be fair to myself- I didn't have any source of information because I didn't have internet.
I gradually figured out that soil ph wasn't working for me, and gravitated to the lower ranges, while constantly being confused as to why this was so.
