I have always thought that 3 was an evil number, I tend to gravitate towards 4's.

Posting that here may get you some response rik.

Good to see you about. How goes the training for law enforcement?

Sorry for the late response! I was busy doin weird stuff. Anyway, the law enforcing stuff came to a halt so to speak. Weird politics going around and I don't want to be involved in a group that cares more about politics than what they were supposed to do which is protecting civilians and enforcing the law. I'll just have to wait and see and otherwise my response is growing a big fucking cannabis tree for christmas!

3 follows me around !
The triskelion is a traditional symbol from the isle of man (or Manx), where my celtic kitty is descendant from. The isle of man flag is three legs based on a triskelion.
Bizarre i know but so am i. I like flags.

I was always tempted to have a triskelion tattooed on me, but never got to it before Dale stopped tattooing. I like the design quality of flags.

Thank you Jim. I'll screenshot this one to share with the daughter. She'll get a kick out of it.

Hmmm...... A post this significant and the only thing I can think of that insists on being said is

I love you all

​

Yep.... pretty much sums it up.

Good morning everyone

I spent some time rearranging things in the bedroom to accomodate the new tent. It'll be delivered to me this evening, so I probably won't get it up until tomorrow. Well...... I can see me wrestling with it after midnight. I just realized this morning that I don't have a humidifier for this one, so I'll have to use some creative methods of increasing humidity until I secure another one. I'll probably wait until they go on sale in February like I did last year.

The swelling of the left shin has completely settled this morning. Things are still touchy, so I'll take a couple more days to recover before I start running any marathons. Lol! Amazingly, the skin treated from the beginning with the cannabis pain cream never bruised the way we expected. That was a benefit of cannabinoids I wasn't aware of before this, one I'd not come across anywhere in the literature. I refuse to believe I'm the only person to note this advantage.

I've determined that I'll be using the canna cream as a daily skin lubricant. It's doing wonderful things for my skin tone, and every small twinge of discomfort gets hit with a small smear and "poof!" the pain disappears. This should be in the medicine cabinets of anyone over 50, IMHO. It's helped me feel even younger.

I'll be back in a few to start the updates. I was remembering this morning that when Dale was still alive I used to do them every morning, before he woke up and the day started in earnest. I appreciate the casual flow of my current days, but it's really nice to get the updates posted before noon.

Pigeons 420 just posted his weekly update on YouTube. Gotta go check him out, and then I'll be back.

Before I run off...... Joy. Determine that you'll be deliberate in the thoughts you choose. If you find yourself holding a thought that has you feeling wonky, deliberately choose a better-feeling one. Doesn't have to have anything to do with the wonky one, just one that lets your ECS rejoice in the being of you.

You're made up of trillions of cells, each an individual, that for some unknown reason chose to combine their forces in the universe that is the embodiment of you. All they really ask of you is raw materials to keep them fueled and a consciousness so flooded with joy that they can work more efficiently to keep you healthy and whole.

Happiness.....deliberate happiness. Is that really so much to ask?

In this neighborhood we have better resources than others to stay in that state of bliss.

High and Good morning Sue.
Shes a biggun . Whats she sitting under?
Luv ya. Running a few errands. Will stop back thru.

Weekly Update: Clone Cuttings and Veg Shelf - Friday, December 22, 2017

Only two cuttings in plugs at the moment, and neither is showing any roots.

The Devil's Carnival cuttings, with their singular Jamaican companion, are still slowly growing their own roots. It looks like the Jamaican will beat them to the punch.

Devil's Carnival 1.3 (Day 21) Thaking her good old time, and I'm very much ok with that. There's only so much space under the flowering lights. I'm still finding the pace that works.

CBD CC 2.8 (Day 10)

I planted the new Candy Cane seed two days ago. No movement yet. The Alaskan Thunderfuck never popped, and when I went looking it was breaking apart. Looks like the Black Dog and Red Deisel will have to meet pain needs until I can try again. Next time I won't treat the ATF seeds, I'll just take my chances and plant.

Malawi 1.2 (Day 53) She's holding at the max veg nute level of 12 ml of Parts A & B with 4 ml of Energy per gallon of water. It's strange to have only one in perlite on the veg shelf.

Malawi is a challenge to keep level, but I'm feeling good about the prospects.

I'm considering moving her to a bigger pot. She'll be the one going into the new tent, and since it'll have the second GROWant panel I can keep her in veg until I'm ready to flip. Yep.... A bigger pot sounds like a definite possibility.

Red Diesel (Day 42) I'll be purchasing one gallon pots today or tomorrow, so she and the Black Dog will be transplanted as soon as they come in. I completely forgot to add it onto the order for the tent. She had a TransWater drench the other day, only because I had some leftover Trans drench that I watered down for the youngsters.

This needs topped. Hmmm.....

Black Dog (Day 42) She also got some of that Transwater drench. When I get these two into kit soil they're gonna explode. Wish I had a source for those one-gallon pots somewhere in town.

Just holding tight until she gets more real estate. I sure hope she finishes up as pretty as her mother's doing over at J's tent.

CBD Critical Cure 3 (Day 19) She had her first Transplant drench on Monday. Just growing roots and plotting her takeover. Lol!

I decided it was time to micro top her.

Carnival 4.6 (Day 40) It's been 10 days since I chopped her to the soil line. I think she's going out of her way to show me how happy she was to get a fresh start.

Look!!! New growth!!!

As I was closing the shelf up I reached in and clipped off the top of the Red Diesel. I feel better about that.

I'll be back for the flowering girls. I need to run to the store real quick.

Weekly Update: Flowering Girls - Friday, December 22, 2017

What makes me think I can walk away in the middle of an update?

Devil's Carnival 1.2 (Day 92, flip + 27) Finishing off the highest level of bloom nutes I'll be offering this chemovar, 15 ml of Parts A & B with 7.5 ml of Bulk per gallon of water. I may stop at 14 ml next time, to see if I can keep from burning the leaf tips, but what I got this time wasn't as bad as the previous attempt.

She's loving this tent.

Looking like the strongest specimen so far. Stinky as hell!

It's not a high-yielder to begin with, but this one looks like she might break the one ounce barrier I've been fighting

She's definitely keeping up with frost development.

Carnival 4.4 (Day 125, flip + 45) Tomorrow she begins her week of flushing. Just over a week to go.

Makes my heart go pitter-pat just looking at this.

My Carnival hash tip.

She's really kicked up the terps. I don't recall another Carnival becoming this fragrant. It's so strong it's shocking when I peek in I unzip the flap and the smell slaps me in the nose lol!

Jamaican 1.1 (Day 64) I'm impressed with the way she's bouncing back. Looks like a whole new plant. She had her last drench on Sunday, so she should be ready for another any day now. I'm letting her dry to droop this time. Need those roots to explode and fill the pot.

She certainly does appreciate being able to spread out.

Plenty of interior growth to encourage before flipping. I'd like to see her fill this open space in completely, but I don't know if I'm willing to wait that long.

I clipped off all the leaders on Monday. Still learning how to corral this one for maximum harvest.

The tiny closet

Both residents are on the entry-level bloom nutrients, 14 ml of Parts A & B with 1 ml of Energy per gallon of water.

CBD Critical Cure 2.7 (Day 73, flip +13) Mighty impressive for a small pot. I'm learning that the smaller pots do better with my spaces and my techniques.

Still no flowers to show off.

Chem Dawg (Day 53, flip + 6) She's not gonna be a big yielder, but I don't need her to produce all that much. It only takes three hits to put me to bed. Lol!

She has some of the most beautiful leaves.
V

And that, ladies and gentlemen, concludes the nickle tour. I do hope it brought you a measure of joy commensurate with my own at showing them off.

Now get out there and share that joy with anyone lucky enough to cross your path. I'll be keeping up over here.

Thanks, I needed that. Lol!



I assume you're asking about the Devil's Carnival pictured at the top of this page? She's sitting under the 200 watt 3000K Timber Grow Lights Citizens COBs. She seems to have found a sweet spot. You wouldn't believe the fragrance level this girl can produce. I have her in a tent next to a Carnival that's also cranking out terps like there's no tomorrow.

 

[Ditchweed242]

Your Jamaican has responded well Sue. Looks like she will continue to do so.

Cheer friend.

 

[Jgrowlove]

Awesome update!! I'm loving the shape of the Jamaican and the girls in the closet!! I also put up full shots of the red diesel in my journal and took a nice sample that should be ready for u to sample by new years!

 

[SweetSue]

Whew! Eh? That was a close call on her. I was thinking I might have to take a cutting and start over, but she has other plans. Considering her increase in stature around here I couldn't be more relieved.

Ooooo..... Spoil me, why not? J, you really are a treasure. I'll have some Blue Dream you can take home with you in exchange.

Hey Sweet Sue! Mind if I hang out? I have been taking a bit of a break with some home remodel and well...repairing my own chassis I'm getting ready for a new grow starting after the first. I'm intrigued by growing hempy, but not sure I have a strong enough knowledge base to stray yet from soil with only two small grows under my belt.

 

[Lady G2HM]

Hi SweetSue, back to reading journals for a bit, lovely to be here and enjoy your fruitful garden. big hug after this week. feeling proud.

I was tied up most of the day, but here I am now.



I earned this, as you'll see below.

Good to hear. It's wonderful that you pay attention to when your brain needs a break. You've been working overtime, but it feels wonderful to be so helpful, doesn't it? It's just begun.

Oh my goodness keltic, it's the most intriguing chemovar I've ever grown, and this specimen is turning into something special. I'm thinking another two weeks and she might be ready to make the shift to flowering.

I took the time to wrestle the tent together tonight. The instructions that come with it are worthless. After all this time you'd think I'd remember the trick, but I still fight with it before I
* lay the frame on its side, in the tent, unzipped all the way
* disassemble the top frame and remove the upper poles for the sides
* slip the top frame into place
* insert top poles into top frame first and then slip them into the bottom poles.

It's still a frustrating job, but when I remember to do it right it goes together much easier.

TAA DAA!!!

Malawi 1.2 has a new home, and she's already looking like she has plans to fill the entire space. Lol!

I'll be slipping her into a larger pot and giving her a few weeks to fill it with roots and then flip her.

It feels good to have that up and running. Now I think I'll be content and learn to increase yield to a consistent 3-4 ounces per plant.

You are more than welcome to hang out LadyGaea. Do you grow with bottled nutrients? If so you'd find hempy a breeze. Water every two days. The plants get fed continuiously. As someone once described, you get the quality of soil with the ease of hydro, but without hydro's work. I find it unbelievably easy to run.

The soil I run is some of the best you can grow in too. Can't choose between them, so I'll have it all.

Make yourself at home, get to know the crew. It's good to have you along.
