Wow, Doc, you are so spot on. I sometimes consider if I need to pull back as I deal with the end of Dale's life, but the joy and peaceful sense I gain from working with just these few plants makes any thought of pausing unbearable. I need the energy they give off and the satisfaction of taking care of them and leading them to a bountiful harvest. It's something I can control. Well, there's that addiction I've developed to posting to consider too.

Sweetsue...i'm so glad Doc beat me to that post...he explained it just ...nice for ya...Sue...it's so easy...don't fret about it.
Just be glad you don't have to deal with three, very rambunctious (spelling,,haha) Sativas. I can't wait to see you your face ...when you see what this kit can do. Like Doc says Sue...give em lots of light. If ya need more...get more. I'm not sure what you have there...a G8 450 right...is that all ? If it is ,maybe get another. Remember , satisfy all limiting factors....Light is a biggy, just like temps ,soil ,RH. etc.
First communion went perfect btw...little gent he is.
I hear you Duggan. I'm just waiting on the new LED so I can get the shelf unit all set up. I have T8s for this group. Within days now the change will come.
So glad to hear the day went well.

Hi Sweetie 
Some rare hugs from me
And for your joy
In front my 3 AB in the middle 2 ACE and on the front left my Green Crack all seeded 4 days after you.
Was about to cull the GC but I wait what happens.
Sometimes it is just the seeds 2. GC didn't make it as all 3 Jamaica Grape.
For your harvest, I'd go by the trichomes - not the pistils. She may continue to throw new pistils even after she's ready.

With high brix (either LOS or the kit) it's fairly common that trichomes won't change like you'd expect. Both of my initial grow plants never really shifted to amber trichomes, and yet both were definitely ready to come down and were incredibly potent medicine.

Sweet Darkgrow. I can see you're going to be a busy gardener before long. Where are you planning to contain these youngsters?

Before I do my update I wanted to share these comparison shots. Every once in a while you open the tent and one screams to be seen first. Today it was this magnificent Cheese Candy. The top photos are from yesterday and the bottom ones are from today. I like to compare every now and then. It's fun to see how quickly they grow up.
Now, onto the update.
A quick note: the head of Cardiology has decided that the heart is not as critical as everyone was supposing and in his opinion there is only a 5% increased risk with amputation. If Vascular can be convinced to take that risk we will proceed and take a totally different path than palliative care and possibly get him home with two prosthetic legs.
If that happens I will pursue the lawsuit against the nursing home. No way will they get off easy.

Daily Update: Dark Devil Auto - Day 78
Maintenance notes:
- the Dark Devil got her 1/4 turn under the light
- I simplified the enzyme tea to something that's not a tea at all. For the past week I've been trying to find that 4 hour window of opportunity to brew the tea. Yesterday I remembered Coot mentioning that he'd experimented with applying the powdered grain as a top dress and saw no difference in effect with that approach vs the brewing of the tea. So, this morning I ground some to a powder, top dressed both LOS pots and drenched with diluted Ful-Power, aloe vera juice and reconstituted kelp meal. How much easier can it get? Well, it could get to be as easy as the kit, but it's not that far behind.
- All SWICKS got topped off.
- Auto Destroyer, Auto Jock Horror x Auto Amnesia, and the New Year's Bag Seed all got their first DeStress foliar spray. My lights kick on at 4 AM. That's a ridiculous hour, but I get to go back to sleep, so I guess it's not all that bad. However, this morning I missed that timeframe and got to them around 5:30 instead. Next time I'll actually set the alarm.
So, let's take a look inside the tent.
The Cheese Candy is stunning this morning.
This is little lady is soooo ready. Let me get through the next couple days Baby. Just a little longer now.
The young ones, just after their DeStress foliar.
Kalashnikova has survived the night. After taking this shot I gave her a top dressing of Worm Power Vermicompost and watered it in. Let's hope that makes some difference for her. I'm committed to keeping her out here though. I'm thinking if this works maybe next year set up a space out on the balcony to run a couple plants under Sun Systems. I can keep them trained to stay low and out of sight. We have weed blocker cloth woven through the balcony to block the view, so it should be possible to keep it stealthy.
Back into the tent. The Dark Devil is still pushing out a quantity of new pistils. This is happening all through the plant, not in any isolated manner at all.
I had the balcony door open and suddenly the sunlight came streaming through as Sol broke the horizon line, wrapping the plant in lovely, golden light.
Then I suddenly discovered something my iPad would do that I was totally unaware of.
Look at this Rad. Isn't this the coolest thing?
From a distance.....
..... and close up. What a wonderful function.
The young ones 30 minutes after the DeStress foliar. Auto Destroyer is recovering more quickly than the other two.
One last look before closing up.
You all have the most wonderful day. We had a moment of hope this morning that was just completely and totally dashed by Vascular's determination that there was much more than the health of his heart keeping him from being a candidate for amputation. We are back in the care of the Palliative Care team and will be making arrangements to get him home so he can die in his own bed.
Didn't see that windshield coming. SPLAT!!!
What an emotional roller coaster. We're ok though. Our life has been filled with these little moments of being given control to have it ripped away at the last minute. You'd think we'd learn to anticipate it, but no, that's not been the case. Back to life and death.
So do me a favor and be even more joyful today to balance this out. Live your life filled with loving today. Make a difference, even in a small way, for someone you may not even know. Make this day count.
And laugh. Often and with gusto. Before this day is over Dale and I will be laughing with you. I guarantee it.

I can't express enough how touched and humbled I am that your first post would be in support of our emotional well-being. Thank you for that kelticBlue, and welcome to the
community. We will indeed rock on to the end. At home he can stay loaded and if he's going to die he's going to do it at home.
High Sue.

I could use more of those hugs BAR.
Headed home to prepare the living room for the hospital bed. Tomorrow morning my love comes home.
