The Joy Of Growing - SweetSue Goes Perpetual

I kept mine about 2" away as well. I just wanted to be safe rather than sorry - especially with someone else's plants.

I gotcha Major...I'm pretty comfortable with this stuff ,so i don't hold back.The leaves can actually rest against them for a short while with no ill affects.I just keep them as close as possible without having to move them up every day.Later Gang and have an awesome snooze.:thumb:

I love the "yo yo hangers." I adjust my late veg T5s almost daily, often tilting up at one end for the taller plants. :)

Ooooo. I didn't even consider that possibility. :laughtwo:
 
Sooooo Excited!!!!!

I was looking for the stalk from the Dark Devil. I reached into the tent in the dark to chop her, and she's such a tiny thing that it only took one swift snip and she was down. I cut it just below the surface, apparently, and had to go digging a bit to locate it. When I did I noticed rice hulls moving around.

Right there was a mass of tiny red wrigglers. A mass!!!! Of course they all dived deeper to avoid the light, but they were right here.

Obviously I can successfully raise worms if they are feeding themselves from the pot itself, which has more than enough food for them to magically transform into enzyme enhanced goodness.

That makes me very happy. :yahoo:
 
Here you go Doc. Lined up tallest to shortest and angled lights. This should work nicely. Wow, am I glad I bought those hangers. Next month I'm getting more for the LED panels.

Pictures and updates later. I need to get Dale up and fed first. We both slept in - him because he's worn out, me because I didn't sleep all night long until the harvest was complete and I had the tent arranged with the lights all hung.

She's so beautifully colorful, hanging over my kitchen sink. Here's a sneak peek.

Thanks Duggan. :high-five: You do realize I plan to keep running both soils in this perpetual tent, don't you? It's just that the majority of the plants will always be growing in Doc's kit soil. I don't think I'll want to stop that at any point, but I'm enamored with both soils. I have the potential for a 15 gallon no-till LOS in here instead of the current two 7 gallons, but I'm not ready to make that change just yet.

After I rearranged to fit the shelf in I decided to go ahead and put both 7 gallons under the Dorm Grow 450, so I'll be planting in that other pot as well this week, using all available assets.

Time to pick out some seeds. :hmmmm:

Have a great day Duggan. :circle-of-love:

Thanks to you too BAR. :Love: I plan on years of harvests. This one I need to quick dry some of before Dale will have to go to a hospice center. He's put on so much fluid weight that I'm incapable of moving him. I'm going to buy as much time as I can, but the writing is on the wall. It's too much for me, no matter how much I want to believe otherwise. *sigh*

Both soils? That's cool ...you'le have a good comparison between the two when that time comes. Have a great day eh.
 
Morning Susan!

Beautiful things you have going on this morning! Hope all is well on this beautiful Friday morning.

My daily routine is as follows:
1) check my garden, water/feed
2) admire
3)coffee/bed bull
4) check out Susan's garden
5) start my day.

Everyday for the last few months this is it. Just wanted to let you know that (in my imagination) I grab your and Dale's hands and we venture through our gardens together.

Lots of love :Love:
 
Here you go Duggan. Into the darker hallway. The light never gets turned on here, yet it gets that little bit of reflected light for the important initial 24 hr. dry. Then it can go somewhere darker to continue to dry.

Oooooo, she's dense and totally frosty. All those trichomes standing at attention on every inch of her. Hahaha! I love harvest!
 
those bud close ups made me orga** always was a bud man

Those red wigglers are great fish bait around here. If you lived here you could sell those critters! :)



P.S. Got some new "fem Freebie beans" in dirt. Watch for a new thread :)
 
Waiting on the hospice social worker to talk about how to proceed from here. It's too dangerous to try to keep him here with me. Damn! Damn! Dammit!!!

You know what? This sucks big time.

His safety has to be the overriding concern though. I'm thankful I was able to get him home for any length of time. It was what his spirit needed most.

One of these days I'm going to celebrate a harvest that isn't also washed in sadness and despair. I hate the fact that I'm not superhuman.

Do what you have to do Sue. During their visit, shut all lights and fans off. Close the doors. Spray air freshener etc... You're biggest worry of smell will prob be the devil you just chopped. Wrap her and put her out on the patio? or somewhere until they are gone.

Even though vegging plant can smell, most people will not recognize what they are smelling. The ones that do recognize? 99% chance they are cool and will not ask, nor report. You got this. You have been too good at this to screw up now. I know you have this. Just use your common sense and you will prevail.
