The Joy Of Growing - SweetSue Goes Perpetual

Sweet Sue,

You can add dark time without much concern. Adding daylight time is where you can really mess up things.

Even the episode I owned up to another thread that had an open role up threshold open with a 400W HPS about four feet from the closest plant for most of a dark cycle did not cause me any problems. A different time in flower could have been very bad.

You never know,....... where I will show up

This will be the second time in a week they got more light too, so I'll be watchful. Many of the plants in there, the tiny pots, will be harvested soon anyway. At least two may be down within days and the rest over the next couple weeks. It's going to come down to space tomorrow, so a couple of the tiny pots may come down earlier than I'd initially planned.
 
I do love catching up on your journals Sue. Makes me wonder what I could do with mine given the time. I do my best with the free time I have. I guess me spending it coming on here is a sign of how much I like the place... even if it my entries are somewhat intermittent. Hope you are up high today my mate!

Thank you Growlow. Always good to see you stop by. It is a friendly neighborhood, isn't it?

I just threw a major wrench into my garden, and I haven't considered all the possibilities yet, but my best friend just purchased a ticket for me to spend a month, and the major holidays in Phoenix. I'll be leaving Dec 11 and not return until Mid-Jan. I couldn't be more excited about the visit - we haven't held each other since 2008 (?). Wow! So long I can't remember the date, but I sure remember the feel of that woman's arms and it's been waaaay too many years!

But a month - what was I thinking? I was thinking that the potential loss of some plants coming into harvest may not be such a high price to pay for time spent with someone I love this deeply.

Right now I'm thinking flip these plants in my tiny closet ASAP. Who agrees with me? It's going to mean some additional CFLs in there to get some light balance and a complete reorginazition of the space and OMG - I'm actually going to visit the part of my family I chose with my heart. I think I'm gonna jump right out of my skin here! :slide: :party:

We're gonna have to brainstorm.

We gotta figure out how to speed these guys up.

You'd have been proud of me guys. I didn't hesitate a moment when she offered. I told her to pick the dates and the duration and I'll be there with bells on. It's the week after my birthday (oh wow! I'll finally get my own carrot cake!!:yahoo: ) and both major celebrations with one of the most important people in my life. I'd have married this woman if we weren't heterosexual. Hell, I considered it anyway, more than once, but I'm fairly certain her husband might have been unhappy about that. :laughtwo:

It means I finally get to run a continuous Callanetics class and gift that to every one of them. That's been a long time pulling off, but I started that visualization about a year ago and haven't let it go. Today it manifested. To those of you that I've given this warning to, heads up ----- SweetSue really does know how to move heaven and earth.

That was never meant to be a flip comment. You should listen to me. The impossible, the inconceivable, the totally improbable events you know for sure I can't make happen? This was your demonstration that I meant it. Just sayin'. :battingeyelashes: :laughtwo:

Winter Solstice is a great season in Phoenix. A good time for long walks in the desert sunshine.

She's in a new neighborhood, so I'll have lots to explore on those long walks. Thanks Rad, I'd forgotten about the solstice.

I spent about 10 years near 90th Ave in Scottsdale, 2 blocks north of a beefalo ranch in neighborhoods of horse ranches mixed with suburban development.

Small town is any part of Arizona wih houses not near Phoenix and Tucson.

The Botanical Gardens and Heard Museum (Native Arizonan art) are very cool museums to explore.
I have spent 100s of hours exploring the petroglyphs near the Pointe South Mountain Resort. They were not well known when I lived there. There are about a dozen on a boulder near here - and a larger than human SNAKE petroglyph on a rock wall within a few feet, etc. Dropped Pin

Thank you so much Rad. That'll make a sweet day trip to explore. Petroglyphs, how cool is that? Last time I visited we did Impact Crater and Sedona, the time before that the Grand Canyon. She likes to indulge me. :battingeyelashes: Since I'm going for a month, longer than I was ever able to visit before, the Heard Museum is on my list already. My dear friend is Native American and always tries to get me better exposed to her heritage when I'm visiting.
 
Well it will be cool enough by the time you get here. Gonna go down about 10-20 degrees in the next week or so according to Arizona's "MOSI ACCURATE" weather channel:rofl: ....private joke. You'll understand when you get here. Rained today...they said by noon, missed by over 3 hours! Mid afternoon is when it hit. Maybe we could compare some notes when you get here! :Namaste:

I'd like that Hozona. I'll be there a month. This is one of those moments when I wish I'd kept my driver's liscense current. I'll need to attend to that at some point. Most particularly if I get bold enough here to actually start new somewhere. Hey! It's not an if, it's a when.

That driven little voice in my head is going to be a pill to deal with as she gets more determined. :straightface:

"Good Morning" she crooned with buttery sweetness.

:laughtwo: I finished up my day with a sweet Callanetics session that ended at 2 AM. Lately that's been waking me up instead of the intended wiping me out :straightface: but last night it worked, and here I am after almost five hours sleep and feeling chipper. It helps that Callanetics is so incredible that I woke up this morning and can actually see this incredible body popping out all over.

:party: :slide: :party:​

It's watching the abs that has me so excited. The whole mid part of my torso is just sucking in to the bone level and melting the fat right off. I have never seen anything like this happen, and it's MY body that it's happening to. I know I said I'd ooze like this on my Callanetics thread, and you can be sure I will. It's just too giggly to contain.

How 'bout something On Topic, to keep everyone happy? Good, I liked that idea too. :laughtwo:

I was checking out my Control Panel page and up popped a picture of my first and only harvested-to-date Dark Devil Auto, amazingly only three days off from the age of the one I have growing next to the Jamaican Dream. This gives me a point of comparison between the LOS no-till and the Kit soil. I was shocked. You will be too.

The left is my original Dark Devil Auto at day 38. The right is my current plant in the closet using the Kit, at day 36.

I told you - shocking. Made me jump a little from joyful anticipation. :yahoo: OK, maybe more than a little. :laughtwo:
 
Strawberry Blue:(Day 84)

She's soooo done. I don't think I've let another plant get this far gone before harvest. Maybe I'm finally learning. :battingeyelashes:

Definitely, ready to come down. In the morning she gets her wash and dry.
 
Carnival(Day 94)

I got real excited when I looked in the tent right after rolling out of bed. :laughtwo: We know what's going to happen here. All those bud sites are going to reorient themselves to "up". Heheh! :slide:

At least another four weeks left to go and she's just starting to get frosty. This is going to get interesting.

Happy Saturday right back at you. Cajun. :Love: Sorry I missed you. The next two posts will explain that lapse, but nothing can excuse it. :battingeyelashes: I'll catch you later. Did you approve of the LST?
