SweetSue's Perpetual 2.0 - The Transition To Doc Bud's HBB Kit

Well, your sanity aside, you would have been great with the news.

Walking away on this one is what is best for you. Your heart is an advocate, not a reporter.

Welcome back.

That has beautifly eloquent Canyon, and sums up pretty effectively my feeling about the situation. I'm much more sensitive to negative emotion than I used to be, and I translate it as an indicator that I'm headed in the wrong direction or looking at the situation before me with the wrong perspective, making erroneous judgements.

The constant battle to realign myself back to my center was too much for me to bear.

Sue.....welcome back. At least you realize this fact early on. Im sure 420mag will find someone to fill the position. The news also gives me anxiety at times. But then again so does waking up. Hahaha :volcano-smiley:

:laughtwo: You need to join me in my deliberate waking experiment Scottay. Even in the inky darkness of the news I woke up every morning and chose unbridled joy as my first expression of the day. In time it changes the way you experience life, because suddenly the universe starts bringing you more experiences to keep that joyful feeling building.

There ya go - crash course in deliberate manifestation. :cheesygrinsmiley: :Love:

Very glad to know you'll be around more Sue. Happy to see the name re-changed too, to be honest. This caught me by surprise, you know I thought about the long hours and whatnot. Never thought about the glaringly obvious. I don't follow the mainstream so called 'news'. Have never owned a tv. Turn off the radio when the 'news' comes on- which is so bloody often that I barely bother to turn the thing on anymore. I'm 100% cynical/realistic about what they are and are not telling us. But for some reason I never even thought about how depressing it might be for you doing that job. Glad you went with your gut and called it early though, and hopefully that's ok for the 420 crew.

I accepted the position with energy and optimism. It took no time at all to beat my spirit down, over and over again. The relentlessness of it, and the urgency within myself to find a way to make it work so the site could have a news stream running again was too much to keep up with. I hated leaving them unsupported there, but I had to save myself. I make my contributions to this site in many other arenas. This one wasn't for me, or I for it.

The position calls for a dedicated soul with thicker skin than I have. Having little ego to battle made it easier to get out early.

Tead said:
Yup... that's exactly why I avoid the news.
I worked for Uncle Sam for years.... tv's everywhere spewing the toxic flow. I'm a touch bothered by our tax dollars buying so many TVs and stuffing CNN down our souls all day every day.

I like Canyon's words... "Your heart is an advocate, not a reporter"... they seem very wise and applicable.

Man... you need to get a handle on those bad boys.... they're eating you out of house and home.

One of my favorite memories of the past year was the day I gave the TV and DVD player to a neighbor and said "Enjoy." Then I turned around, picked up the wire cutters and cut the cable cord at the wall. My internet access is a bleed-off of my daughter's wifi. She lives all of one wall away from me. :laughtwo:

My internet use almost never includes following the news, unless it has to do with the Endocannabinoid System.

RheinRover said:
Happy to see you back! Sorry I've been so quiet as of late, definitely missed my morning coffee with a side of Sue's garden.

Couldn't agree more with the news! I have such a love/hate relationship with it.

Cheers Sue! Now time to stomp out those mites

:passitleft:

The mites are already dying off, and will continue to reduce in numbers as the week goes on.

It occurs to me that this gives me a perfect opportunity to try PsyCro's fresh harvest oil process again, with better safeguards this time. No need to repeat the disaster of the oil and water mix, is there? I'll research and get it ready to go this weekend or early next week. I have no concerns about ingesting mites or any leftover egg casings that may stay attached to the leaves. I'll choose to believe I'm getting exotic micronutrients that others don't allow themselves to appreciate. :cheesygrinsmiley:

Then I can use the oil to make kick-ass brownies and save the Carnival for CCO.

Ahhhh....... This feels much better. Thank you all for the love and support. Did we dream that? :laughtwo: First time I ever bailed on a job overnight. Threw the boss for a spin, I'm sure. Be nice to the man, he works his butt off for us. You have no idea what he sacrifices for our benefit.

The day started off with a particular brand of JOY, and I celebrated with a full brownie that's just now hitting like a freight train. :laughtwo: Tonight I go walking with a friend, a pasttime that always culminates in conversation over coffee and soup at the local Panara Bread.

Joy to begin the day, and joy to bring it to its close. Go ahead, let yourself enjoy the same thrill of overflowing joy that you can then share with those lucky enough to come near you. Create an atmosphere of joyfulness that will brighten every step along your own path.

Isn't it wonderful to have the universe back in balance? This is where I belong. :battingeyelashes:

:Love: :hugs::hugs::hugs::hugs::hugs: :Love:
 
Hi sweetness. I am here for ya if ya need it. I really mist the avatar.:geek:

I am such a dork.

To welcome you back I share my baby exiled from the tent for bad behavior ; -- )
I got this baby living in my bed/living/everything room window high above the city and it smells lemon-ie.
It is going for canna-cocnut oil for baby boy cat ; - ) I love that cat.




We heart our SweetSue :Love:
 
Welcome back Sue.

good for you for realizing it wasn't for you.

I got a job 12 years ago I should have never stayed with. After 2 months I told the boss it wasn't for me.

Ten years later I had to finally quit from the job burning me out, and losing 40 pounds. It was either 302 myself or quit.

It has taken me 2 years to get my sense of sanity back.
Still 40 pounds lighter until this week. I gave up sweets and gained 8 pounds, go figure.

I'm holding off on harvesting. The Candy Cane just went all milky and Emerald isn't ready yet. I doused them thoroughly with spinosad last night, and today, when I looked with the loupe there wasn't a moving mite to be found. Yesterday, when I did the same inspection they were flying over the tops of every blossom! I'll repeat the spinosad shower tomorrow morning and every two days until I take them down.

This way, I hope to kill off most of the mites before harvesting, lessening the chances of carrying anything into the apartment and other grow spaces. This felt like a better solution than risking taking them today. I'll re-establish as much control as possible before harvest.

This sounds lke a much healthier approach - I support your decision. Get those mites under control (over even eradicate them,) they can sap the joy out of growing :)

Speaking of healthy, I got an email about helping collect the news about 2 years ago, when I was reading the 420 news almost daily. I ran and hid :) The reason I was reading the 420 news digest is I didn't want to be out in the world of politicians and liars sorting through their stuff to find the real news. I know I couldn't handle it.
 
I'm not proud of this level of neglect at this point in flower :straightface:

IMG_52164.JPG


She's 32 days since flip, 107 days total.

IMG_52188.JPG


Nice progression on the bloom. I love to watch the flowers wind their way up the stalk.

IMG_52177.JPG


She's recovering already. A few of the lower leaves are toast, but they needed to come off anyway.

IMG_52198.JPG


LOOK!!! My lights from Timber came in. :yahoo: I'll have to wait to unpack, but you can be sure I'll have pictures. :slide:

There was the sweetest note in there......... Sometimes it's a bit overwhelming how good being loved can feel. :Love: I have good friends here. :hugs: :Love:

If missing that avatar makes you a dork you have a huge number of like-minded members standing with you my friend. :hugs: Watching your kitten recover has been one of the highlights of my journey.

:laughtwo: I can certainly see that weight gain. Pick a different sativa. Lol! I'm wondering if it's the limonene in Carnival that counters the munchies? Most times I have to force myself to stop and eat.

Yeah....... There's only one other job I ever took that I knew so quickly wasn't for me. This was a pretty public stage to execute this misstep on. :laughtwo:

Whew! I know myself better now than I did when this adventure started. I learned I have limits to what I'm willing to endure. My daughter noted that when I'm studying the Endocannabinoid system I'm down on the floor, surrounded by devices with music blasting, singing along as I study.

She saw none of that behavior from me searching through the news. There are people who live for that work. I'm not one of them.
 
Cant wait to see those timbers hooked up and running!
All of your raving about the Vero29 and Timber finally got me in gear and I ordered a light from them last month.
You weren't kidding Sue! I've never had a plant start off this strong, have it set at 50% about 16in away and they are thriving!!

Happy to hear those mites are dying off, a few more days and lets hope they're history.
 
Well, I unpacked, looked at them, and immediately thought "I bet Hash Hound would know exactly what to do with these." :laughtwo:

IMG_52219.JPG


I have three kits, one with two of the larger 200 Watt (2) COB Vero at 3500 K, and two kits with four of the smaller 200 Watt (4) COB Citizen LEDs. I have no idea what any of that means. I'll do some study before I set them up.

IMG_52228.JPG


Arent they pretty? They come lovingly packed. I can't remember another vendor that puts so much personal touch into the packaging of their product.

IMG_52236.JPG


IMG_52245.JPG


The big ones dwarf the smaller units. :laughtwo:

IMG_52258.JPG


Hash Hound, you're out there buckaroo, and have any aptitude for this, a helping hand would be much appreciated. Dan's offered to walk me through it, but I'd hope he'd be too busy running his successful business to have the time to do that. :battingeyelashes: I don't want to make any changes overnight. I'd like to get the mite-ridden tent harvested and sanitized before I start switching out lights.

I'm excited guys. :slide: These are going to rock my grow. You just know it. :cheesygrinsmiley:

High there. No need to answer my PM. I'm caught up now.

Gonna drop this big ole dab here so a large audience can just drool. :drool:

I was just on my way over to your PM box when I found you here. Did you notice the dab looks like a heart? How sweet Magical One. :kisstwo:
 
It's actually really easy stuff. I have studied his kits a little bit, the only part that will be tough is the bare wire. You would first need to split them into the two respective kits, then you can get started.
 
Hi Sweetie, you wanna Idea what it takes to put one of these together?
I know you probably do not wanna tackle it. I do not blame you. I would not want to make frame work for it again.
You got a picture of frame work? did ya get framework?
That was the hardest part for me I think.

lemme know if ya have any Q.



Here is a link that will show what it takes....... 200 Watt Cree CXB3590 4 COB Grow Light Kit

Same Link in my sig. I did the CREE CXB3590 kit at 3500K.


Edit: word of advice or experience. I wished I had placed the Driver outside the tent. I still am going to just got to get off me arse to do it. I see most people have bigger tent areas and mount the drivers on the frame, was not prudent for my little tent. Just a thought. for anyone else interested in such an endeavor FanLeaf's thread has a wealth of info some almost 100 pages.....here

Thank you keltic. :hugs: You took all the trepidation out of the process. :cheesygrinsmiley: I want to hang mine individually. That'll take some thought on my part, but it should work out wonderfully.

I like the idea of mounting the driver outside the tent. See? I wouldn't have thought of that until it was too late. :Love:
