I used to be a dog guy. My lifestyle changed to the point I couldn't have the type of dog I like. They need more activity for me. House dogs are mostly yappers so I got the cats. Raised my cats like dogs because I knew no difference. They are still cats LMAO.
While I still love dogs. I think the right combination between pot, cats, and cat toys will make you younger.
I like my cats but they can't understand like a dog. A dog can remember words a lot better so you can have a better conversation LMAO. Key words you can get dogs to go nuts over don't excite cats. Toys and food are what excites a cat. I can say "treats"all day long with no response. "Go" gets me nothing. Grab that jar of cat treats and the world changes LOL.

Yeah we got blasted by snow and wind. The whole state closed down for new years. Most roads in the whole state were closed.
We got it the night before. Only 4 inches of snow. I have over a foot to shovel everywhere. It seems the whole town drifted in from all the wind. - 20 right now which makes shoveling a dream LOL. I still have another mile of trails to shovel LOL.

Yeah mine don't get away with that very well. Pot and play had a lot to do with it. They thrive on the play time so have become dependent on me for that. Yes they do do their own thing as cats will do. Food and play are my ways of controlling them LMAO.
My sick one even jumps for her treats. She can jump up 4 ft take a treat from my fingers and have it in her mouth by the time she lands. That trick almost didn't happen. Nothing hurts like a cat hanging from one claw stuck in your finger LMAO. Now she mostly takes them with no claws involved thank god.

A mile may be pushing it LMAO. Lets just say lots of shoveling. With a foot and a half of snow if you want to go somewhere it is better to have a trail.

Beautiful pup Vtwin, I totally understand where your coming from on waiting! Im more of a pitbull kind of guy its their personality that gets me. They act like a 2yr old body builder just so big and goofy. No aggression from either one unless you mess with their boys, im a loyalty kind of guy, if your loyal to me I will give my life for you kind of thing lol.

A pitbull is high on my list for the future, I've known a couple of them, very sweet animals. My boy Voodoo was more line a frat brother, SIberians have a super independent mindset.

No snow here. But it rained all day yesterday. Ugh, I hate wet sloppy cold. I'd rather have it froze solid
Rottweilers are the same way. Big babies. They have no concept of body mass and can be quite comical to watch goof around.
Man tell me about it. I don't like shoveling snow but we got soaked with a lot of rain yesterday. I hate cold rain.

I am very familiar with rotties, their the only breed my dad ever owned. My first pup was a rottie I think it was for my 5th bday. The dog my dad had when he passed was a 167lb female German Rott she passed 6months after dad from what I guess to be depression. They were all just big massive babies lol.

Me neither. Had a friend with a great one. It would sit his ass on a park bench with his front feet on the ground. He would just sit and wait while we partied and smoke as kids.
Working on training my cat to attack now. Not looking good though. Might better keep a pistol close to hand LMAO.

Thats funny you mention an attack cat, one of my buddies in school had this cat that was cool as shit until you touched his cat nip. That little bastard tore me up so many times. Id walk in sit on the couch and my buudy would sprinkle cat nip by my feet and smokey (the cat) would instantly tear my ass up lol.

I guess mine take after me. That just eat the catnip and lay back and watch the pretty colors LOL. Neither one gets ramped up like you would expect. I had one playing fetch before when it was the only cat. Won't do it anymore darn it. Fetch with a cat was fun.
The whole growing thing is still taking its sweet time. The more I look the less it bothers me. Most are still taking in a fair amount of water. Buds are still swelling. There are still a few white hairs on the lower buds. All strains but one are doing the same thing. All this should mean it is just the plants taking their time.
As always flowering takes longer than I expected. I thought the better grow environment would solve this. I was wrong. The only plants that are finished are the real early phenos.
The only problem is that I am going to get pounded by trim. Anything over 2 plants a day is a bit much. I was hoping to spread them out so it was not too difficult. Not going to happen. I can harvest at least half of them today and be fine. They are that close. I just want a few cloudy trichomes. All are past where I have harvested plants in the past. I am to the point now of wondering if I am trying to take them too long. No amber trichomes to speak of so I don't think I am being hurt by waiting. The only amber I see at all are on the very top buds that are affected by the light intensity.
I have tried all the little tricks to speed them up. I dropped a hour of light down to 11/13. I raised the light all the way to the top of the tent. I turned the light down to 75%. All these things happen normally in a plants life so it won't hurt them and should hurry them.
On the bright side. I was worried about my flush this year. I was behind on flower nuits and had to add nutrients later than I would have liked. It showed in the plants I have harvested already. I am not getting good grey ash when smoked. Some of this will cure out most will not. Not a huge deal. it is just for me and I can relight the joint when needed. All this extra time is giving all the plants time to flush themselves out. All the M.G. is gone. The Guano I spread on the top of the soil stayed a lot longer. This should be flushing out as we speak.
That very well could have been part of my problem . To much food for them to finish right. The extra nutrients when they didn't need them may have prolonged flower. Doesn't matter now. All I can do is finish them the best I can from here.
