Morning everyone... Things are going to get hot here. Hot as hell for Portland area. Up to 108, they are calling for... I'm sure going to have to move all my pots up on another level of 2x4's and drag what I can on a small strip of soil I have out back. Concrete sure gets hot. I was talking about how much water I lose here... Sure I do have a cover but we do need a new one,,, these solar blankets only last acouple years before they fall apart and then they can clog up the sand in the filter with blue plastic chunks. Right now I can't afford another,, they are costy,, couple hundred. Besides someones generally taking a dip. The Grand Daughter and her friends arre in it damn near 24/7, besides, water is a renewable resource. What goes up must come down. And I don't mind the couple bucks for that. A pool is really useless in Portland cept acouple 3 months outta the year, so I keep it open when I can. Now ask me Wednesday if a pool is useless in Portland!!! They are calling for a possible record temp Wednesday. I think all the concrete we have in the yard keeps the water 84 on the natural, but me, I like it 89 degrees so I run the heater damn near every day for awhile. Winter time we have one of the tops you can walk on.... Not that I wood walk on it,, but that's the claim. And they run close to a grand. In the last few year the back yard has cost a pretty penny. Re cemented the cement pond, and redid all the concrete back there with some cool stamped patterned rose colored cement acouple years back. Got the cover. But that anever ending thing,, maintenance. What's next?? Oh thats right a roof....... And we have 3 on there now I think now so a completely new one, tear off and all. Oh well enough complaining.
Here's a fast peek inside... Not the best pictures, but there isn't much to see in there yet. Right now I have 8 of the Black Puppies and one GG4 from Feminized Seeds. I'm goig to add a Moonshine Haze next and maybe a Easy Kush I have vegging outside. The Black Dogs as fast out the gate. Alot faster than the GG4. And the GG4 is more on the taller side,, but still workable. I had to set the GG down on the floor. She easily doubled in height. Now the pups,, maybe 50%.. Like I always say,, you need to grow a strain acouple times to get it dialed in right. I did take a cut off the GG just incase it's something real. I hate that saying,,, ISHOULD'VETOOKACUT... I'm no sticker about a name of a herb,, it only has to be good. But here's a compairism;
Here's the pups;
and isn't a easy one around here, for someone to sneak in my yard. I don't have an attack dog anymore, I have watch dogs. Ankle bitters. And I'm not in the best shape to even have to scrap with someone,, so I'd let some 00-buck do it for me. And damn I sure hope that never happens. These critters do nothing but watch and listen 24/7. We are watching a friends while they shot off to Florida to go fishing.. Damn I wish I could go. Sucks when your feet don't like standing up for long. 15-20 minutes and I need to sit or lay back for afew. Maybe one day things will get abit better...but the black one is another of my Black DOGs.
Well, that's about it from here. That's for stopping in and hey Sticky One,, Oregon is a nice state. You do live in a nice area. A place that has alot of fond memories to me, but if you are going to move somewhere Oregon isn't a bad place to look into. I like it. Just has a sorry ass weather for a outdoor grower. You have to find the right strains.. GL everyone and Keepem Green
