Hiya, nurse! 
WOOHOO, I've finally caught up on ONE thread. And I think I skipped most of November's posts to do it...
There's truth in the old saying about the IQ of a group of people being equal to it's least intelligent member :rolleyes3 .
Unfortunately, we face the same issue that those wishing to help drug addicts, those with mental illnesses, et cetera: It can be next to impossible to teach those who refuse to listen.
I also came to the conclusion some years ago that appearing to be a "cannabis fanboy/fangirl" to folks can lead directly to the above situation. If one's speech/actions resemble that of the FANatic, it doesn't help.
Smaller discussion groups tend to help avoid even the appearance of the above. So can being somewhat circumspect. To the err... nonbeliever ( ), "CANNABIS SAVED MY LIFE!!!" might appear to be so much horsesh!t, and cause them to immediately shut down the listening area of their brain. If, OtOH, one states that they reached a point where they had to make drastic life changes in order to greatly improve both their health and the quality of their life, and then go on to list those changes - stop eating "factory chicken," adding filtration devices so that they are able to actually consume clean water, eat more non-meat items in order to have a more balanced diet, take steps to ensure that as much as the meat that they eat is of the "free-range" type, taking three cannabis oil capsules evenly spaced throughout the day, eat as many locally-grown fruits & vegetables as possible instead of buying stuff that's been trucked in after being grown/harvested in uncertain (and possibly unclean) conditions, cutting out all caffeine after 2:00pm, ensuring that one's environment is completely dark when trying to sleep-- At this point, the person you're having the conversation with just might ask you just WtF you mean about the cannabis and how you "think" such a thing is actually helpful, because it sort of "sneaked in" to their brain and, so, they are now forced to process it, lol. Thus, opening a discussion into more of the specifics of cannabis' health benefits.
IDK. It was time for a ramble .
<SHRUGS> It can be an anger-provoking thing. Might as well channel it usefully instead of heading to the bar where you know that some @sshole will stumble past, spilling your drink and giving you the means to bleed off that anger, lol.
I figure anger is just like any other emotion. It can be a great motivator - but it can also take over if one is not careful, leading one to operate through one's feelings instead of thinking. Kennedy got p!ssed-off at the Soviets, so in 1961, he declared that we'd set foot on Luna by the end of the decade (and he stated this less than 60 years after the airplane had been invented). Of course, it then took a great many people's thinking to accomplish this, lol...
There's more money in processed food. After all, then you have to pay the <BLEEPS> to do the processing.
Look at the list of countries that have the greatest life-expectancy (BtW, depending on which particular list you're looking at the United States either ranks 31st, just below Costa Rica and just above Cuba, or 43rd, just below French Guiana and just above Lebanon, or...). I very much doubt things such as processed lunch "meat" is any kind of staple in the diets of the average person in the top ten countries on any of those lists. And CHICKEN!(!!!) Most people don't realize that, in addition to the intolerable conditions they're most often raised under in this country... that we've mucked around with the things so much - and so badly - that they are not, legally speaking, even considered to be an animal any more here.[/RANT]
And "Potted Meat Food Product," lol. Never trust a food that's so messed up that the producers not only have to tell you it's actually "meat" in the name, they also have to call it a food product. FFS!
Ah, but it's not like the government (any government) is spending ITS money, lol. What's a few (tens of) billions of dollars - when it's other people that are the ones being forced to pay it?
Governments, as a rule - both historically and in the present-day - have a strong tendency to always have some kind of "evil opponent." There are several reasons for this behavior trait. And if they cannot find one, they'll create one.

It's... <CHECKS THERMOMETER> 54°F in here right now (I know, I know - but I've been feeling a bit "under the weather" lately, so I've really cranked up the heat these last couple of days!). What do you suggest I grow here? Kale, LMAO? Auto-flowers, I suppose.
Hey, that reminds me: I do wish there was some kind of resource that lists the temperature ranges in which each strain of cannabis would thrive. As it is, we're left to look at strain descriptions, reviews, and grow reports for each strain that we're interested in, separately. And, often, even then it's just a case of inference. For example, I recently read that Paradise Seeds' Nebula wasn't the best strain for high temperatures. Does this mean that the strain will thrive under lower(-than average) temperatures? Well... Maybe.
Doggone it, I lost a couple of tabs I had quoted text ready to paste in and reply to, in regards to autoflowers beginning to flower when their taproot encountered the bottom of the pot. Oh well...
I never became a theoretical astrophysicist like I intended to when I was eight years old, but I do still like to theorize. One theory I have is that, considering where ruderalis strains originated, that this might have something to do with those plants' roots (in their natural setting) encountering hard, frozen soil / permafrost at a certain depth. Another theory is that it might not be completely about the root(s) reaching the bottom of the container, but more about the ratio of roots to media (or, more accurately, the ratio of roots/plant to freely-available nutrients in that media). We try to ensure that our plants have an adequate supply of nutrients available at all times, but we often don't meet with 100% success. How many people have feed their plants, only to see them "perk up" afterwards? This, IMHO, is a sign that nutrients were lacking before said plants were fed. This theory might go some way towards explaining why, for example, a lot of auto-flowering plants grown in DWC not only grow larger, but also grow (for a) longer (period of time). And then there's the fact that, if someone has multiple auto-flowering plants of the same strain growing in the same environmental conditions, and they switch half of them to "bloom nutes," thereby feeding those plants less nitrogen, that those plants tend to end up in the flowering phase first.
IDK. Another word for theorizing... is guessing .

aint that the way..
As a rule, always capitalize on a crisis or create one.
My country/government/people seems to have become many other countries' "evil opponent." And, sadly so, in many ways I'd say that a lot of them have legitimate reasons to feel that way. I cannot help but feel ashamed. We are, after all, responsible for our government's actions (NOT the other way around).
Hmm... Where's Sue? Wake and Bake event extra nice this morning, lol?

Oh TS, it's so good to see you here.
Friday is not only lunch with the seniors, which takes me out of the house for a couple hours, but it's also update day. That means lots of pictures. It was also a major drench day, hitting almost every plant in my garden. That'll take a bit of time.
As to the wake 'n bake.... Didn't have one today.
I took two capsules containing the mash from the recent CBD CC FHO. That mash had 100 ml of oil locked up in it, and I determined to see how effective two would be on their own. I took them 5.5 hours ago, and although I wouldn't peg this feeling as "high" it does get big marks for a sweet sense of wellbeing. That's good enough for me. My med schedule has many other dosing options.
Now it's time to have the brownie and get the updates done. Hopefully I'll get them done before I have to head out for groceries. I'm getting a ride and have no control over the when.
Good afternoon everyone
The updates will be fun. I did a significant amount of trimming back - I warned you it'd happen J, so don't panic when you see Black DOG.
Some days there's more change in the garden, know what I mean? I get to drenching and looking closely, and before you know it things like tops disappear. Lol! Are we having fun today? If not, it's a simple adjustment to deliberately find better-feeling thoughts so the answers you're hoping will come through can do so. The more fun you're having day-to-day the faster that energy stream of delight the universe brings to you, and the less resistance you put forth to block it. So get out there and have the time of your life today. Then take a quiet moment this evening to reflect back on the bursts of brightness that caught you off guard.
Get up tomorrow and do it all again.
I'll be back in a bit with pretty pictures.
I had missed that as well (must’ve happened when I went under for a couple of weeks). I wonder how many pages back the link to it is LOL!
Just ask Dark Scotia to post the link again. He has it readily available.

Glad you visited, its been a while!

Good to see ya

High SweetSue,
Just thinking - Maybe the best way to get the word about cannabis out is to be healed and let people know. More and more, someone will ask how you got well, then you have a chance to explain. The more that happens, the less people will be afraid. Yeah, it'll take time, but it's been a long while since it was demonized.

You waited.
Let me make the wait worthwhile.
Weekly Update: Clone Cuttings and Veg Shelf - Friday, February 9, 2018
Let me walk you through my day.
I started with the veg shelf as seen here. 
CBD Critical Cure 2.8 (Day 29) Still drinking 10 ml of Parts A & B with 4 ml of Energy per gallon of water used. I was looking to get her upcanned for a week, at least before I flip her, but she may just get upcanned on the day of flip. She'll do well in the low pot with almost three times the root space. As soon as Dinachem comes down I'm gonna want to get her going. There's really no space on the shelf for a larger pot, at the moment.
I'm real pleased with her progress. The larger pot gives me more opportunity to stretch her out further. The hempy specimens shine like that.
The daughter shared with me today that this plant is the most important one in the collection. As much as she enjoys all the chemovars I grow for her this one is the base med for her regimen, the one that's healing the endocannabinoid tone and keeping anxiety at bay. Made me glad I had two going into flower at the same time.
Jamaican 1.3 (Day 11) Today she got a Growth Energy drench. This picture was taken before, so that explains her droopy nature. She'll be perkier tomorrow.
Loads of potential in there.
Royal Gorilla (Day 14) Last Saturday she was potted up into one gallon of soil. Her drench today was a Growth Energy, done after this thirsty picture was taken. You may have noticed she lost a bit of height. Two days ago I topped her. Now she has a bit more time to build up structure I can live with.
Black DOG isn't happy. (Day 14 in my garden) She was also planted into one gallon last Saturday, and she hasn't been happy since. More on her later.
Jamaican 1.4 (Day 7) She's getting the base veg nutes, 8 ml Parts A & B with 4 ml of Energy per gallon of water used. Still growing roots, but her color and general vigor look excellent.
I'm excited to see what the chemovar will do in hempy.
Candy Cane 4 (Day 43) Another thirsty one today, she recieved a TransWater drench. By tomorrow morning she'll be praying.
Looking at her I can see she's gonna get big real fast, if I'm not careful.
Red Diesel (Day 91) She joined the others in a Growth Energy feast today. Just biding her time, waiting for an opening.
The solo cup girls: left to right we have Devil's Carnival 1.5, busy re-establishing her identity. In the middle is Devil's Carnival 1.6, who spent less time under flowering lights before I pulled her out. On the right is Jamaican 1.2, looking ready to do more than sit on this shelf. Lol!
All three are climbing the nute ladder, at the moment drinking to the tune of 10 ml Parts A & B with 4 ml of Energy per gallon of water.
Jamaican 1.5 (Day 3) Today she got a drink diluted down to half strength.
Devil's Carnival 1.3 (Day 43) She was scheduled for a Transplant drench, but she mistakenly got an Energy instead, which actually might turn out to be the best thing. Just as I was preparing to dunk her I decided to pull her out of the pot and add more soil to it. The original load had packed down so much she's about a quarter down on available soil, and I wanted the top closer to the top of the pot, to make training easier to deal with.
But that didn't happen until later. She got her pot filled and her roots hit with a sprinkling of Roots! That ought to make her fill the pot up with rootlets.
A nice round of charges. All well-behaved.
Looking down I determined I had to do something about the Black DOG. There's no way she's got space in a tent for at least a month.
She has lots of time to grow back, and I can structure her to suit my garden style.
Now that there were five cups over here with cuttings I felt it might be a good time to mark them for identification.
As I turned back I realized Red Diesel was going to need her additional time too, so she got a trim as well.
I almost got away.
Notice the change in solo cup girls?
Jamaican 1.2 made it into flower today.
Now I'm done.
At least with this part of the garden. Back with more in a minute.

Weekly Update: Flowering Beauties - Friday, February 9, 2018)
Malawi 1.2 (Day 102, flip+50) I've gradually stepped her down to 15 ml Parts A & B with 3 ml of Bulk per gallon of water. She's drinking it all up and blooming like mad.
A little size perspective. She's taking on a sweet skunky smell I remember from her mother.
First signs of fading pistils.
Not that I think that'll make her move faster to harvest. Lol!
She made room for her new roommate.
Dinachem (Day 102, flip + 53) I'm continuing her flush while I track the trichome coloration.
Almost there.
Moving to the tents.....
Jamaican 1.1 (Day 111, flip + 35) Sunday was her exciting day, topdressed with Roots! and EWC and then hit with a Rescue drench. That held her through yesterday, when she got plain water. So far she looks good, despite the dying fans that obviously speak to past concerns. Her branches are strong, her bloom in full force, and her smell knocks you over when you open the tent. All good signs.
On Doc's recommendation I'll be skipping her CATs and finishing her on an Energy drench. She's frosting up nicely under the lights.
Starting to see a little pistil fade in here too.
Carnival 4.6 (Day 89, flip + 5) Last Sunday she got upcanned to 15 gallons of soil with a TransWater drench. She's nowhere near thirsty yet.
The stretch begins.
CBD Critical Cure 3 (Day 68, flip + 2) two days ago she was upcanned to 7 gallons and flipped. Yesterday she got moved into the tent with the warmest Timbers, the 200 watt 3000K Citizen COBs. This tent is like a warm fireplace.
The concern was heat, or lack of it. The Spa is too cold for living soil in winter. So is the rest of my apartment, for that matter. I closed up the open veg shelf yesterday, and the best I can get it in there is 75 degrees. In this tent she'll get day temps in the 82 degree range, much better suited to a soil community.
She looks good all trimmed up.
I'm really excited to see what she can do from here. It's been a while since I grew one in soil, and this is the first one I feel like I got right.
One last shot from Dinachem. Just because use it was so beautiful I had to share.
And that, ladies and gentlemen brings this week's nickel tour to an end. I thank you kindly for stopping by. Without the ability to share I'd still enjoy, just not in the same way. This is more fun. I hope you found the trip worth your while. I'm due for a good cup of tea and some lemon cookies with a side of Carnival. See you in a bit.

I keep telling you all, long-winded fits in around here.
That's been the driving force so far Bode. That and the angry mothers of children with seizure disorders who had the courage to bring their seizing children before legislative bodies until they couldn't deny that the lie had to be acknowledged.
What I've discovered is the total lack of knowledge on the part of most folks that they were designed and evolved to heal, and that cannabis works with that healing force in a way that mirrors what our bodies produce under optimal conditions. Too many believe that being high means being non-functionally stoned, and a danger to yourself, your family, and your community. Too many don't understand that you can use cannabis to heal and with careful dosing practices you don't need to be afraid of feeling so good that it scares you.
That will always amaze me, that so many people have been bamboozled into believing there's something nefarious about feeling good.
Nice update Sue. I was going to ask how many plants you usually have growing but you mostly showed it just now. How many flowering plants do you usually have going at the same time? And how many tents/grow spaces do you have? There just always seems to be way more vegging plants than flowering plants or room to flower. It seems you've got most of the timing and rotation down but I've still gotta work on mine.
And when you clone do you usually take 2-3 clones to make sure they root but then only keep 1 or 2 or keep 'em all? I'm just wondering if I should stick with 1 clone per plant or 2. I haven't gotten down the massive yields yet so I'd only be looking at around an ounce a plant.
Oh what's the Red Diesel like btw? I got a seed to try but after I got it and did more research I didn't much like the look of the effects (hungry, anxious, and paranoid according to Leafly) so it's been metaphorically moved to the end of the long list of genetics to grow.

Why thank you, kind sir.
I have too many in veg. It's a common theme in our neighborhood. Lol! I've sent a few home with J over the past couple months because it reaches a breaking point. Since I discovered they bounce back so well when they get chopped that seems to be my current method of control. I was planning a cloning cabinet, but the casual cups seem to be doing well enough to keep me going. At the moment I have three tents in the bedroom, all devoted to flowering, the Spa, also in bloom, the tiny closet housing yet another flowering plant, (at the moment there are 5 flowering, plus the solo cup Jamaican that got flipped today) and the overstocked veg shelf. In a happy perpetual you'll always have too many in veg. That's part of the fun, IMO.
I'm considering using the shelf for hempy veg and a tent with a little more heat control for the soil veg girls. That'll take more light than I now have on hand. So, 6 spaces, plus clone cuttings, which keep expanding, Lol! 6 plants in flower, 11 in veg.
The daughter has offered some funds when they get their income tax refund. Part of that can certainly help fund a better space for soil vegging.
Nightmask said:
I used to take only one cutting per plant, and using TOAST's produce bag method I get close to 100% success. So when it matters, I use the bags.
But lately I started casually dropping them into solo cups with distilled water and leaving them alone. They root, I plant. So far all the ones I need to root have, so I stopped using bags. I take as many cuttings as I feel like taking, expecting one of them to root. I'm new to this casual approach, but I'm having good success.
Nightmask said:
I'm smoking the Red Diesel right now, or at least J's representation of the mother. When I cracked open the jar I was hit with a delightful "ahhhh" feeling that made me smile. This bud's been curing since New Year's Eve, when J dropped it off. It's a smooth, satisfying smoke, that keeps making me think of fine leather. Lol! The NY Diesel influence is definately noticable. Most of what I smoke is soaring and cerebral. I figured it was Friday night, time to try out Red Diesel again. Made me laugh right out loud to have you ask about it.
Anxious.......I can feel an edginess that I believe my daughter would call anxious, but I call speedy. I can see how this terpene combination might cause a sensitive person towards paranoia. I have no tendency for paranoia in my nature. Lol! I couldn't do any of this if I did.
I haven't been under her influence long enough to speak to the claim of hunger. Makes me glad I didn't grab chocolate when I was out.
I see what Barney's Farm means when they describe the cerebral high of a sativa with the relaxation of an indica. Hmmm.... I'll play with it a bit longer. The hunger must be the indica terpenes.
Love the smell of it guys.
It's matured nicely since New Years.Apparently, people listen to the Gov't. Whatever they say is gospel. Really sad. Makes our job much more difficult. But we can work under the radar to educate where possible in our goings and comings. Grassroots stuff.
Your update was refreshing. More Jamaicans coming. Loved looking at the Carnival. Quite dense. Looks very nice. Later

I've got a single (the usual freebie - Barney's Farm must be in more people's strain libraries via the giveaways than by purchase, lol) of that one. Its name got it placed towards the rear of the bus. But if it smells like "fine leather," I'll have to let it move up to the middle, maybe. When times were better, I used to go on a road-trip (no, shorter than that one
) to an "exotic" greenhouse/store every year and pick up a handful of this, that, and the other thing. One of them was an African plant that was supposed to grow to a large shrub in its home land, stay small in "houseplant mode," produce pleasing small flowers, and produce lightly "furred" leaves - that smelled (to me) much like traditional leather smell. Mine got way too big (for some reason ) to be a potted plant, so I planted it out in the center of my veggie garden one Spring day. Four years later, the cold did it in, so that next Spring I went to get another one. I mentioned having planted the last one outside and the guy said, "That's a bad idea, first cold night happens, the thing will die." I thought, "Or the 243rd cold day, lol?" Was traditionally used for chest pains, stomach aches, and people crushed the dried leaves & inhaled the fragrance as a headache treatment (right up my alley). It was called Iboza Riparia or something like that, and - oddly - I'm pretty sure that I've read it smells like ginger instead of leather <SHRUGS> . Wishing I had a cut right now. Just realized I mixed tenses in this paragraph a bit, whoops. I used to get everyone to smell that plant - and everyone, collectively, said, "EWW!" I loved it. One of these days I'll get another one and try mixing a bit of ground leaf in with da kind, to see if I end up with something that hits me like the real Romulan did back when I could actually still find the stuff <SHAKES FIST AT THE UNIVERSE AND HOWLS> in terms of being able to smoke a headache into submission, if not out of the picture. Probably have to save up for a Greyhound ticket these days to go there, though.Hmm... I know I had a point just a minute ago. Oh, maybe that aromatics effect different people differently, and that some folks "Eww" might end up being others' "Ahh," I think?
I have always felt that a great deal - not all, but a lot - of that is in people's perception. Things that, coming out of the blue as a surprise, might cause some to quake... would be far less frightening and much more enjoyable if the person knew beforehand.
I haven't been under her influence long enough to speak to the claim of hunger. Makes me glad I didn't grab chocolate when I was out.
Chocolate, chocolate... I love you, I hate you. You make me smile with joy, you make me scream in pain. Chocolate, chocolate, I love you, I hate you. I'm so glad I don't have any, oh, I wish I had some. (Chocolate, chocolate...)
Sorry...
Did I type "middle of the bus?" Okay, back of the front third.
If I get a chance to restock on the aromatics (/medicinal/traditional/etc.) this year at the plant place, maybe I will be able to make the journey and offer you a cutting or two from what I end up getting. If you think you'll have any room left for "regular" houseplants, that is. Fire escape, maybe, lol?

Every available pot in this house is used for cannabis TS. The daughter and I were discussing her apprenticeship with me, and she bluntly reminded me that she kills plants, to which I smiled and responded "so do I." That was when we realized that cannabis is the perfect plant for those of us who either can't grow houseplants or grow them really well until we get distracted or bored. Then they die or I get rid of them.
With cannabis, killing them in the end is the whole reason for spending four to six months growing them, which, coincidentally, was the length of time it typically took me to start killing my houseplants. Lol!
The newness of the next cycle keeps it fresh for me. Then there's all the fun stuff you can do with the harvest.

Hey Sweetsue awesome update. I completely understand how your method of training works and why you would cut back plants in veg! How many watts does that Timber quantum board use? I've been looking to replace my hps in my 3x3 and 4x4 tent and every time I visit I am surprised at how bright and how little heat it produces.
