I just kinda forgot about my experiment of putting a small male outside. So I went and brought him in last night XD his ec was low at 430 ph was I forgot not to bad I think it was 6.7 so I flushed it with nutrient water that I feed everyone else. See if he survived these near freezing temperatures of as low as 35 tonight. So idk. He was a champ I guess. For just not being feed. Probably just once the entire summer he’s been out there. So idk. I felt bad for him and finally let him in. The picture doesn’t quit capture his unique pinkness.

Thank you mr s you have been a great help. Yeah I was worried about bugs. But read a living soil is better then a non living. So eh. Survival of the fittest I guess if they die. Shame. If they live dope.

start crazy rant.
Ugh in family fighting. Appeareantly the hardest thing I do all day is smoke weed and microwave food all day. And am totally worthless. This is a saddening time for me. And fear that this in family fighting might result very badly for me.
I fear I might be out of this home and alone. Or worse incarcerated. :( ugh I can’t even.
I know this isn’t the place for this. But this has been so heavy on my mind. And As I have a hermit lifestyle
Due to my pursuit of growing cannabis and learning all I can about it. My own personal pursuit of happiness.my very own goal I set for myself in life to which I choose to pursue as is the only thing that keeps me happy and busy each day watching and tending to these plants of mine.and reading, to further learn in how and why they grow so uniquely wanting to learn how to grow the healthyiest plants possible and learning there ailments so I can treat them and make sure they thrive to maturity so they themselves live a full and healthy life is my current life which gives me meaning. Is appeareantly a worthless goal and pursuit in life in which has no value to my family whatsoever or the rest of society. But as I am not trying to please my family by solving how to run a boiler or dip a stick to check oil level. Or fix a window or a roof Or level a house. as I have not been educated in those areas and don’t wish to learn those skills as they don’t interest me at the moment. As I am learning and spending my time in pursuit of different skills and knowledge.
I am sorry for this very personal message of mine that has no place here. I just needed to vent. As I don’t talk really talk to anyone. So I just needed to put my thoughts down and see them myself. To help regain a lil sense of relief as I need to share my current feelings with anyone. I know I this is crazy. And that is because it is. I said this has no place here to start with so please don’t view me any differently after this. I am just in a rough patch. Hacking through a very thick part in my life and don’t know where this trail will lead. I hope it isn’t to a cliff where all my progress just stops.
Alcohol has no place in my life currently as I blame it for this hot mess. That and I am I guess mentally unstable.
But last I checked I was still a person. And that I was told it’s okay to have some illnesses even mental ones. It’s not like I can just switch this shit on or off. It is stuck to on. The switch don’t work it’s stuck. And I doubt they have a pill to fix it. And if I did. What clinical evidence does it have and what are the side effects of taking medications. Why do people want to give me some artificial drugs that have just recently been created in human history made specifically to target your brain. That is the most invasive breach of my privacy I my very being. If I am not my thoughts then what am I? . Not only is it targeting my brain but my very thoughts. Is just my very thinking so flawed that i am now deemed insane, unstable. Addicted. Whatever label you wanna slap on me go ahead. Alcoholic...
I can see how it is unsettling for others to be around me. I don’t ask them to. I avoid them as much as possible. The only words I’ve been receiving lately have been so negative and feel specifically aimed to hurt me.well good job. It has worked mission accomplished. Successfully hurt me. To the point even I question my self. Now that it has been done can I please recieve some positivity. I’d like that. I want some of that.cut me a nice chunk of that pie and keep the rest. I would be happy with just A handful of crumbs.This rant has carried on to far and I must end it. It has led me no where new. But feel a bit better grounded.
I am alone and scared and just need a lil love. Today. This week. This month and even this summer has been a mess. I’m a mess. I am sorry everyone for this post. Just understand it was a. Worthless rant of a man just tired and alone barking at the moon for anyone to hear my pain i am experiencing. I love you all.
End crazy rant.
Back to the journal in progress.
Mylar came in. So idk. I’ll try to do something with it and give it a look sometime later once i am feeling better. I am exhausted.
I have a tent idea. And Idk. Reflective collapsible or movable foldable reflective wall to reflect back that light back to my plants.
But I need to start playing with it soon. My plants require more light XD and if they don’t. I don’t see how more can possibly hurt them right now lol. I need this new project. It will keep me busy once I get around to it. It kinda feels like a new science project if I ever get around to doing it and not talking about it. But I need to make some plans first.
 
Geez Scotty I wish there was something I could say or do. I have no idea what it's like to be in your shoes or many others around here. I see the struggles all too often around here and the fact cannabis has been the binder that has kept everyone together here says a lot.
There's no harm in putting your words out there especially if it gives you a chance to say what you haven't been able to around your family.
I wish there was more I could do or say. Just know that you have family here and if you ever need an ear I'm just a PM away.
Stay strong and hopefully things are a little brighter tomorrow. :love:
 
Hey Scotty, my apologies for being MIA for a while here, but I'm glad I got back in time to read your post. As MrS said, there's not a lot we can do other than listen and support you, in your growing and in your mental health. Any time my family questions the amount of time I spend here (they never question my growing as they need the weed!), I tell them this is part of my hobby. Everyone deserves a hobby. If someone were to question my growing I'd tell them it's no different from restoring cars, collecting stamps, woodworking, or making knives. No one levels houses for fun!

Mental health is just as important as physical health, but the stigma around it is very tough to overcome. That said, many mental illnesses have a brain-chemical component, which makes pharmaceuticals beneficial. I know a woman practically incapacitated by depression, but after getting help and meds, she is coping well, going out with friends (safely), and feeling much better.

One of the difficulties with mental illness is that those who suffer from it often believe that they would lose the essence of who they are if they take meds. Sure, some meds can be pretty harsh, but those are usually the ones given to folks who are barely able to function in society. Many others (when they work), just allow the better parts to shine through the fog of the illness. If you have access to any mental health care, I encourage you to actively seek it out, and keep an open mind about treating whatever you have going on, even if that includes medication.

I wish there was something I could offer on the family front, but family dynamics are so incredibly varied. Sometimes it's all you can do to keep your head down and carry on.

By the way, plants are looking great!

:Namaste:
 
Okay so I spent like a couple of hours ph down ing nutrient solution after
I watered this male 6.2 ph and got back 6.7.
But after the first couple reruns of ph downing the solution. The nutrient solution came out nice and clean looking, no more of that slimy lookin stuff.
image.jpg

It was pretty trippy as I was hittin the dab rig
And sometime later I noticed as I was flooding the top of the container with the nute solution. With out over flowing. But near it.
There was a constant stream of bubbles like a few second apart maybe like 8 and I sorta thought neat. I wonder if thats my plants breathing if they have gotten large enough to breathe noticeably XD idk stoner thought.
But I guess it could have also been caused by the constant drainage of the nutrient solution :hmmmm:
There were bubbles.
but any ways it took awhile but I finally got its ph down to 6.46 and an ec of 1192

The female didn’t take as long. And I think it’s cause she has better drainage probably?

Love the early Christmas decorations! And I never take the protective plastic off my grow tools either. :high-five:
 
The kuze,
image.jpg
I’m really loving the way the taller kuze is Smelling right now :drool: idk it’s just so lovely. It’s a very happy weed smell.
my nose and my brain are telling me from past experiences, that I’m going to love it’s buds if it’s a female XD.
if it’s a male. Idk I’m not even going to think about it. It’s just got to be a female:goodluck:
And then I would say that this blue dream below it comes in 2nd place for smelling.
blue dream halfbreed.
image.jpg

She is the skunkiest I’d say. Of the skunky smelling ones. I had some super skunk feco the other day. And I’d say the smells are a bit similar.
The girls scout cookies halfbreed.
image.jpg

Bigger and less smellier then her half sister. Blue dream.
And then the c99 halfbreed.
image.jpg
Also half sister to the blue dream and Girl Scout cookies. I think they had the same father?
The c99 looks to be in pre flower. As the white hairs are starting to pop out and leaf fingers are lessening I from 7 to 5.
Birthday cake female.
image.jpg

Also I think starting to transition from veg to flower I hope. But probably a week or two behind the c99 if you ask me?
Hmm looking at it more. I don’t even think it’s preflower yet. It’s still beefing up its leaves and stems the more I look at it.
I tried measuring it and I guess it’s like 2 1/2 feet tall by like 3 1/2 by 3 feet cubed lol XD
she smells like a a sweet leafed cannabis plant. Kinda smells like sweet normal outside grass.
Idk what to make of that.
image.jpg

The large male birthday cake I guess got way to top heavy as I was spraying all my plants down with tap water To wash off the dust that’s been accumulating over the week, and leaned into the light. :hmmmm:
It is making a power land grab Move like some foreign country annexing its neighbor XD
It is now touching the female. Cute I guess?
image.jpg

the small male that was brought in is recovering?
image.jpg

And the revegging girl
image.jpg

Keep your gardens vibrant:cheer:
so ps. I am very surprised that the c99 has grown so large via the kratky method. I thought of putting it in a 5 gallons of promix. But. I guess I’m sticking with kratky to see how it goes into flower for experience lol.
I think it’s a bit scrawny. But I guess it could be genetic?
 
Watch out for those grabby males!
 
I ran so much today it was a run.idk if you ask me it felt like I ran a mile and a half in 12 minutes,...for Canadians that’s pretty much a flat 6 minute mile. And then a half mile sprint for 3 more? But you round it up and divide by two and carry the zero and you get with over 2000calories spent running. xD
My legs are dead. My lungs are good. It is cold in alaska nightsXD
 
:welldone: but don't overdo it! The math I mean ;).
 
:roorrip:I’m not gonna lie. I just got my first enail. And have been testing it today. And it’s not bad. Once you get used to it. Takes about 2 minutes or something to heat up I burnt my fingers once so far lol. So it has its dangers. But if your extra careful and not playing around I find it pretty safe.
 
Super late update.
This girl growing kratky, c99 cross is now a month and a half into flower let’s say.
image.jpg

So I’m happy for her.
the birthday cake kush still growing wider
image.jpg
she is still in veg. So cool I guess. Can’t wait to see the transition.
The male
image.jpg

I lifted him up off the foot last week with string.
image.jpg

kuze male. Starting to to flower XD. Damn he smells the strongest:( so idk keep him around for now XD.
image.jpg

The Girl Scout cooukies cross. Flowering week two I guess?
As well as
This blue dream cross week 2 flower we’ll say.
image.jpg

currently making a 5 gallon home for those last two
 
c99 looks like it's going to be a good producer! What's the plan for the male? I just made a pollen isolation box for my Colombian Gold male. Lemons from lemonade :).
 
Still feeding them all veg strength nutes 1250 ec and a ph of 5.9 or 6.2 every feeding I should add.
I’m thinking turkey bags over a few male pollen colas XD chopp the rest?
Photo of GSC cross transplant complete.
image.jpg

The blue dream cross transplant finished.
image.jpg

Yellow leaves. I neglected them a bit. They should have been transplanted earlier but oh well, What’s done was done.
Now that I’ve transplanted these two I should pop a few more seeds a as well to replace these two females.
Th revegging female was knocked over. And and I just let it die. As for the other small birthday cake kush . I just stopped watering it. A month an a half a go so it’s dry as a... it’s crispy dry.
 
Playing fast and loose with the plants there!
 
Okay let’s call this week 8 flower for this c99
