What Major said is all to true, I have been having colonoscopies every other year since I was 40 due to hereditary predisposition. The prep is indeed the the worst part but the best sleep that I get is when they put me under. I always hope that they forget me for a bit when in recovery just for the extra rest that I get.

Yes it is CC. Getting ready to have some right now. Too bad you're not closer. You'd like this one. Intense, a bit speedy, looooong lasting, and sweet. All those things I look for in a strain.

Oh yes it is.
This is some of the best herb I have ever smoked and I'm smoking it raw. I'll feel this buzz all the way into tomorrow, with sleep time in between.

Fear not!
This is for everybody on 420.
IDK what stories you've heard, but the fear and worry are WAY worse than the actual procedure. Take it from a guy who has had two Major (PITA) surgeriesand more scopes in me than I can count. The procedure is nothin'. The day before (prep) is the worst part. My only complaint about the colonoscopy itself is that it is over way too soon.
Many places now use a very fast-acting anesthesia so you don't even know anything has happened. If there is ANY question about doing it, DO IT. It can save your life or make the rest of your life much higher quality. I won't get into the gory details, but PM me if you'd like to discuss the in's and out's.
Hahahaha
oh geez I think I'll avoid the in's and outs for now. 
My mom and sister have filled me in extensively on the procedure and are drawing out every second of the torture, they also enjoyed watching me pass out at the sight of myself getting stuck to draw blood. I went white, drenched myself in sweat, and woke up shivering -.- hahaha. oh well they love me, they'll bring me weed while I'm purging myself >.< at least THAT's not something they can say is gonna make things messier! lol I do feel a bit better about it now though, thanks Major and co. 
I know its an important procedure...gotta look out for myself I know, it just sounds rather awkward/uncomfortable. :\ not the way to spend a weekend lol. but I'll be back up and at 'em in no time I'm sure.

Oh yes it is.
Glad to hear you are enjoying it!
I feel horrible I have been checked out lately. I have completely missed what you and Dale have been going through, and feel I owe it to you to be there to support you. You are an internet family member to alot of us
I know others here probably feel the same way. Your strength always surprises me, and your unwavering dedication to your grows equally so. If there is ever anything you need, never hesitate to ask.
Sending lots of love to you now.

Thank you CC. I could feel it even before I found your post.
it's ok, you have a life too, you know. I'm touched that so many of you consider me family, although that shouldn't surprise me since I feel the same about all of you. I'm surviving this painful transitional stage in great part because of my involvement in the community and the outpouring of emotional support that's been offered, yours included. I feel safe and protected here and that's allowed me to be able to process the loss in a healthy way. The humor that floats through this site has kept Dale and I laughing all along the way. What a difference that one element of this community has made.
Thank you for your offer to help. I'll remember that.

random thoughts
I've been pondering the success of my first grow against the challenging grow I have going now. I can accept that the dying of my beloved has thrown a whole case of monkey wrenches into this grow, but I can't be allowed to use that as a blanket excuse. I went into the kit part of the grow unprepared. I own up to that. I'll also allow that the kit was sprung on me at a critical turning point in Dale's life.
One of the hallmarks of my initial grow was how prepared I was going in. To be fair, it was as easy as mix, plant, water and harvest. I chose LOS because Dale's health was slipping and I knew I'd need something foolproof. The light magic was study and imagination backed up by sheer persistence. It was a series of fortuitous choices infused with irrepressible joy that led to success.
It would have been more responsible of me to have put the kit to the side until things panned out with Dale. We knew at that point we were headed here. It bothers me that I took such a successful approach and stressed it at every turn. I still have three plants going, and they show promise, each in it's own way, but this grow became about survival, and in this tent at this time, the Cheese Candy growing in LOS stands the best chance of reaching that goal. I have no intention of neglecting the kit plants too the point of death, but life has this way.....
If I weren't dedicated to these little darlings I wouldn't be running back and forth across town to care for them every day (well, not so much every day now is it?). I'm hoping they pick up on my love for them and my intention that they should thrive. I'm also hoping the magic in the kit can carry them past my current limitations to some kind of decent harvest. We still have time.
The next run will be a world of difference. For one, I intend to tighten up my process and actually take some notes, work up my own charts, get a better understanding of the workings of foliars - just get prepared. No more of this half-assed stuff. I'm serious as hell about my grows and it's time to prove that with the kit side of this tent. After all, it's going to be the big producer, isn't it? I'm going to figure out how to make it hum. You can count on it.
For now, I'll do the Dance of Joy when I start smoking from these three. It'll happen. Just you watch and see.
But first, Dale.

family first....always.
The kit plants, given the same light source, are going to outperform the LOS plants. I'm 100% confident in that.
If you want to make it easier, do the wet/dry thing for a week, transplant in to large pots and let 'em rip. Foliar once every week or 2 weeks depending on your family situation. Drench every other watering. They'll surprise you.
Don't doubt your actions either. What you're doing is beautiful outside and inside the tent. We're all behind you 100%.
Don't let the overwhelming feeling of obligation guide your path in the garden. These plants grow indoors all year round. They'll always be there for you. Certainly don't doubt your actions or consider your actions "half assed". Because they're NOT! Look at all you have going on right now. You can still keep together a beautiful garden while producing marvelous updates (and I know they take some time). Perhaps in your first grow you had your priorities in a different order, but as a women of love and life you know that priorities change with the coming tide.
I think what you're doing is joyful and inspiring, to say the least. Don't forget that! And don't beat yourself up about anything. Susan is doing an amazing job!!
Love you!

Doc, you don't know how much I needed to hear this. Thank you. I believe you. It would be nice to see them reach some of their potential. Let me round up some pots and rearrange the lighting. I'll be ordering another LED panel in a couple weeks, which will enhance everyone's chances.
Breathing a little easier now.

Daily Update:Perpetual Tent: Week 6
Maintenance notes:
- Started the day at 5 AM sharp, Brix foliar sprays to all kit youngsters. Went back to bed.
- Woke at 7 AM and back into the tent to retrieve them and do their Transplant/Tea drench.
- Pulled risers out from under the Cheese Candy and set her on the floor.
- Refilled the LOS reservoir.
- Coconut water/aloe vera juice drench for both LOS pots.
Let's take that daily stroll through the tent now. We've waited long enough, don't you think?
Cheese Candy, at Day 37, is getting tall. I measured all the plants today, neglected to write it down immediately like my internal gardener prompted me to and then forgot the measurements. We'll just accept the fact that she's a long-legged beauty.
African Buzz, looking mighty fine this morning after the foliar and drench (the photos were taken about an hour after the drench). She's at Day 36.
I do this work in the morning on the run, so I don't often get to see the plants the way I'd prefer until I start zooming in and out of the photos. They're looking better than I expected. A little of that magic coming to my rescue?
Auto Destroyer at Day 37 still sends off this sweet energy that draws me in. Such a lovely plant forming.
Auto Jock Horror x Auto Amnesia (Day 35) has long legs as well and the highest energy output of the three.
It almost crackles with energy.
I can't wait to get these three transplanted. They're coming into that sweet photographic stage I love so well and I need better access to them. I'm going to rethink the placement of the SWICK trays before I start the cycle again.
All three up under the lights again.
The SWICK won't get refilled again. Their next move is into bigger pots, minimum 7 gallon. I'm actually thinking put two into one 15 gal and the other into it's own 7 gal. Any thoughts from the HB crew on this? I have those pots available in fabrics, my preferred container. They help the plant grow better roots.
Checking my new, more precise monitor I see the temp is running 77 Max, a bit too low. I slowed the fan down a tad and will check tomorrow when I'm home next.
One last glance into the tent before lights out.
What a fluid grow this is turning out to be. Every time I've turn around there's been another need to readjust. If nothing else we're witnessing how hearty and adaptable the plants and our soils can be.
OK, this was fun to put together. Dale's coming out of his fog a bit so let me tend to priorities. Make one of your priorities today to spread a little bit of joy. Maybe a little more than that. Oh hell, go all out and splash it around with abandon! 
Have a wonderful time doing that.
Like you could do otherwise, eh?

One of the best things about the kit is that you can do a half-assed job and still get great results. If you can simply manage to water them adequately, they'll do very well. Spritzing them with a foliar once or twice a week isn't difficult to fit into a schedule - takes ten minutes, tops? - and adding a drench/tea to the water is pretty simple, too. My biggest problem during times of neglect has been not noticing that they needed water until they drooped.
But getting them into 7 gallon pots will be a plus all around. They'll hold more moisture and the plants will love the rootspace. I vote a separate pot for each plant.
