Thank you. Nothing much of great interest happening in the grow. Nothing worth updating about, anyway. I may put the Cheese into flowering next week. Just holding off till I can get some clones of it rooted. The babies are being babied. Thai Stick is moving along like a glacier, and that's about all...
We're cannabis nerds. There's no such thing as a boring day with our plants or with yours either. We live for the minutiae of our friends gardening chores.
The Thai Stick is a beaut!
You made me laugh right out loud with the stoned and hunting for hermies story. - Thread starter

Sorry I haven't had time to get over much to your runaway train of a journal Sue. Hope I'm not missing the insomnia workshop. How's that going by the way....?
Up early I see...

Up early I see...
I built up a sleep deficit that cashed in at 9:30 last night. So now I'm wide awake at 5:38 AM. Well, I'm winding down and pretty stoned, as opposed to high, so I see another five hours coming up.
I found out I don't have insomnia Weaselcracker. I have an aversion to sleep. I'm having too much fun being awake.
Apparently I've struck an energy balance with my body, so I decided to stop fighting it. Which runaway journal? Haha! Yep, I certainly have energy.
The grow journal challenges me to find a way to keep track of pertinent stuff that keeps getting posted there. I have the most amazing members following me. It's a humbling experience, eh? I'm pretty lazy in the end and although cataloging is one of my passions, I find I'd rather be doing other things. Careful with those sharks.
I forgot to mention..... The most relevant information on insomnia, from a dosing standpoint, is already added onto the dosing thread. The rest of the information is still brewing in my brain, trying to find a way to be properly expressed. Interesting stuff. I'm still figuring out how to present it.

Geez, not a hell of a lot to update lately, but- a couple odds and ends.
The flowering room has taken kind of strange turn these days - with male flowers everywhere. I have in there- a hermied Thai Stick, a male Thai Stick, and a hermied Mama Thai/Thai Stick. And that's all. I'm leaving the Thai Stick branch I sprayed till the last minute, in the hopes that I can chop the branch off before many flowers open up. Then I'll relocate the branch to a jar of water elsewhere, in an attempt to collect pollen from it without impregnating the entire Thai Stick along with the Mama Thai/Thai Stick cross as well.
Some thoughts about colloidal silver..
Last week I was just passing through, watering the plants in the lights off period, and happened to notice a whole bunch of male flowers on the MT/TS. I guess it got a little CS overspray somehow.
I realize you can't see much in the picture but it's almost as hermied as the Thai Stick, just not as far along. Gave me a fright at first because I thought it was the entire plant that was a hermie. It was kind of hard to tell in the light of the green LED headlamp, but it turned out to be only one branch. Strange though because the branch was sort of twisted around and intertwined with other branches and buds of the same plant. Only this branch was turned hermie, even though several other spots on other branches should have been in the line of fire as well. No idea how the colloidal silver works but it sort of seemed to infect the plant at a certain spot then spread through the plant's stem for a distance, changing its sex. Kind of like blood poisoning travels up a person's arm.
It took me over 20 minutes trying to write this idea in coherent form and I know it still sounds like near gibberish but wtf, let's move on.
A little.
To -more thoughts about colloidal silver.
It's clear that this colloidal silver thing is an interesting subject and its one I haven't explored at all. Pretty amazing to see a plant change sex like that, and in such a controllable manner. I wonder if I can do this to fruit trees? I have a large lone cherry tree (the other one died). And I wonder what would be the effect of the CS on various other types of plants in my garden, which I'm now tempted to start spraying willy-nilly.
The other thought I have about colloidal silver is that - it obviously doesn't take a genius to make this stuff and use it effectively. The little tutorial I found on the internet insisted that I use only pure silver, only distilled water, and that I must keep the CS out of direct light or it would turn black and be ruined. I didn't do any of that stuff, it took about ten minutes to find and hook up an AC/DC adapter to a couple bits of silver and drop them in a jar of water. I didn't put any particular love into making it, and it was black as hell, but it worked just fine.
In other news...
I've found what I think are the beginning's of roots on a couple of the cuttings in my bubble cloner thing. Not much of a photos but I'm pretty certain its roots we are looking at in those little white bumps.
The cuttings in the coco tray are still going nowhere and I think they may be too warm (?).
If the bubbler pans out though I will be very happy

Good stuff. That colloidal silver is interesting stuff... Someone once gave me some to drink when I had the flu years ago... Don't know it it did anything.. (head and left shoulder twitches spasmodically) Apparently that's a bit of the 'ol snake oil..
I reckon your blood poison theory makes total sense... That's how foliars work, right? Even better if all the seeds are viable..
Cool! Wanna try this one day..

That's not good you got over spray on your plants.. You don't want to be smoking anything touched with colloidal..

Hmmmm... Yeah I read that, and did have that idea in mind when I was spraying the limb- that I was trying to just isolate the one branch and not get any on anything else. That was pretty easy because I purposely grew the branch long, so it wasn't a colloidal silver hurricane in there, the overspray was more in the form of a bit of vapor or tiny fog like particles which flew off on their merry way when I sprayed. A couple tips behind the sprayed branch turned hermie, and the MT/TS plant is a surprise. I think any actual silver contact on the parts I haven't removed must be tiny I'll keep that in mind and do some more research. Might have to drink some of those buds instead of smoking them?
By the way- one of my art 'hobbies', I guess you could call it, and side jobs is working with an artist making various silver and gold art pieces. I've spent hundreds of hours filing, polishing and sanding down silver castings. I wouldn't call that necessarily a healthy thing, but in perspective I'm not too worried about the extra spray. I will add this all to my googling efforts though and thanks for the reminder. I'd actually managed to forget the dire warnings. We hear what we want to hear sometimes.

Cheers weaseley,, sorry aboit your hermie issues, can be such a pain them hermies, I know, a constant battle for me too, sorta,,,
Harvested the mama thai/Thai Stick,, nice plant, just over seventy days in flower, and also just harvested another ma Thai/ pineapple chunk, so powerful the odour,, so nice
Off to workin weaseley,, Oh, I entered a mama thai nug in the contest this month,, i mentioned you in the post but it got edited out,, not allower to mention trading seeds of any kind, which I did,, bad me,, this will get edited too I bet,, cheers friend, thanks agin,,

Yeah - no seed trading to be mentioned around here and I like to try and help keep the mods' jobs as easy as possible, since they are such good people. Glad your plants are working out so well Nivek. My MT/TS is a slowpoke like its father- seems to be sitting still most weeks. In fact my whole grow is kind of at slow point- not much in flowering and most of the veg plants are babies- or growing at a snails pace.
This would be a great time to give the room a fresh coat of paint, if I had time, which I don't.

Hey Weasel... People are drinking it and have been (not sure concentration) for years as a bacteria and pathogen killer; it has been debunked but I doubt it really is dangerous, at least in small doses... We would have heard about people dropping dead of silver toxicity, or whatever... Here it used to be marketed as a health tonic and antiseptic but the Govt changed the Therapeutic Goods legislation so that basically you now have to PROVE that the product does what you claim... Seems reasonable, except for the period where you DIDN'T have to prove things really worked.. Ah, politicians.. Fun people. Smart people. Looking after us..
I probably wouldn't drink it now; I got through about 500ml of the stuff twenty years ago with no ill affects yet (head and legs twitch this time..).

Head and leg twitches sound to me lke "Ill effects" .....
Yep, can play with Mercury without dropping dead too.. I wouldn't advise it though... Man we smoking the shit, no need to dump a heap of useless crap to speed up the process...

Was joking about the twitches... Hard to get sarcasm through in text..! Like, picture me sarcastically twitching away while explaining the relative safety of consuming something..
But seriously; colliodal silver has LONG been touted as a health tonic. There would literally be bodies in the streets if it were that poisonous. I really have drank it... Recommended by an aging 'hippy' natural-only-in-my-body type couple..
The ONLY thing I noticed was NOTHING! Was a bad flu', too.. Didn't help...

No probs, AK... For the record, it's still sold here in pharmacies and health food shops, for example, as opposed to in hardware or chemical supply shops..
Each to there own.. You can still buy, people still use it... I'm talking inhaling vapour but I'm not here to argue but it's not an argument you'd win in too many threads, due to bodies not dropping dead everywhere. Every thread on feminised breeding advises this, why? It's contaminated. Simple..will it instantly kill you? No but why risk adverse effects with contaminated weed? All the oldest people that lived on record were all smokers, mostly tobacco, one was an opium, is this the advice we should give on the best way to live a long life? But man, if you want to smoke contaminated weed, do so, just don't downplay or advise others to do it...
