Awesome update Sue, I can't wait to see what you can do next time around, but I think you're doing just fine as is. Especially with everything going on. Dale sounds like quite a fighter. Stay bright. 
Neglect certainly hasn't hurt those plants a bit, but yes we'll be blown away once you can focus on one thing at a time again.
..ugh there it is again. African Buzz. Never gonna stop kicking myself hahah yours looks gorgeous...

Sue these plants look very good and will never be laughed at but rather they will instill wonder as to your strength of spirit and devotion to life. We are all learning much from you and Dale that goes well beyond the garden, thank you. We continue to send our full energies to you and yours SweetSue.

I still have one more seed, hopefully a female (don't know if these were feminized). If you should stumble upon that seed we can start them together. Sooner or later we should do that anyway. What fun that would be.

Subscribed SweetSue, I've been seeing your post on some journals and wanted to sub up and be a part of your new family here on 420 Magazine. I won't lie to you, I don't plan on going back and read your 72 pages but would love to start here by telling you that you and your husband are in our hearts.

Welcome RSOiler.
I won't fault you at all for that. Most of the excitement for growing is just getting off the ground and it's all going to change in a few days anyways. We seem to be all about accepting change here lately. It's good to have you along. The caring thoughts are always appreciated.

I 100% agree with you. A strictly anonymous bright friend of mine is planning on sending some seeds my way in a few weeks, perhaps one of them or one of my remaining strains might stand out to you to try, and then we can arrange it to start together some day. That would be so fun.
maybe we could even make a little thread for it and possibly convince others to try it too. who knows? I'm excited hahaha. My friend is a genetics connoisseur I dare say, he picks awesome strains. 
You've done it now
I'm probably going to bug you half crazy about it now that I'm excited. The seed has been planted.

I'm only posting this so I can laugh at it in the morning. At midnight I made my first attempt to go to bed. It's 2:38 AM and I have finally run out of subbed journals and can't really see any more. Maybe time to try again?
Maybe it's time to face the fact that my sleep patterns may be changing permanently. I no longer have anyone to keep alive except myself. He's still breathing, but not for long I think. So strange to sit with someone like this. It makes me introspective.
Please Girl. Go. To. Bed.

... that moment when your eyes start to film over but you want to keep reading something, so you try and blink it away, and right when you think its gone you try to focus on some words and its all blurry again. I'm familiar with that one hahah.
Yes. Go to bed. There'll be much more to read and introspect about tomorrow - I'm going to join you haha. Willingly or no, it will probably happen within 10 minutes. Though I truly am loving the first pages of PeeJay's neophyte journal.

HAPPY FATHER'S DAY
To all of you out there blessed with the joy of raising children. May this day be filled with the special brand of love shared between father and child. Revel in it. Joy to overflowing.
I count myself blessed to share your company on a daily basis. Your children are the truly lucky ones. They've had the privilege of your stewardship and love.
Life is sweet indeed.

Hahaha! Took me until 4:08 to actually get there.
I think I'm pretty much a lost cause. As soon as I get ready to go that little voice says "Check Settings one more time." You guys are so addictive. Hahaha!Dale woke up this morning trying to get out of bed. Whew! He can be a force of nature himself! He's calmer now and beginning to drift under again. Going to be a long day.
Morning Sweetsue, Hope your day is filled with smiles and pleasent thoughts. Thinking of you both!........Duggs.

Morning Duggan. Hard not to think pleasant thoughts when I'm surrounded by so much love and affection.
You have a great Father's Day with your boys. I expect to hear tales of hearty laughter and adventure.

Doing well Major. Thanks for asking.
our daughter stopped out and our old next door neighbor of 15 years stopped to see us. This room is so spacious and airy and the view of our city so beautiful from his window with a sweeping and dramatic sky that it makes this a special place to die. Restful and comfortable. I'm beginning to feel pampered. Dale's been in and out all day. He tried to get out of bed twice already. Disoriented much of the time and sleeping with eyes open. There, he closed them finally. Let me turn out all these lights. It's really hard to say how long he has.

Daily Update:Perpetual Tent - Week 7
Let's begin with maintenance notes, shall we?
I began with DeStress for the kit girls and then set them back under the lights to settle while I set up everything else. I spent yesterday getting a firm grasp on what needed to happen to get the CAT drench scheduled for approximately 35 days from today. According to my notes it's been just over a week since I saw pistils. Because this 11/13 lighting schedule makes everyone behave like autos you need to give the plant a bit of extra veg time before making the flip. These girls flip themselves, so we can't think of it in the traditional sense.
I decided that this is my flip date. It may seem a bit arbitrary, but it's actually well thought out. The countdown begins with a drench of 1/4 Transplant & water. I took the time to get that all set up and then tended to the needs of the LOS no-tills. The reservoirs were topped off. That should keep for a few days, if necessary. Then I ground some malted barley grain to a powder, sprinkled it over the pots and watered in with a half gallon between them of treated water diluting a tiny splash of Agsil, a tiny splash of Full-power and a swirl of reconstituted kelp meal. (Time to mix more kelp.) So easy to do it feels sinful.
After the no-tills were done I pulled out the kit girls and got their drenches done. By this time the foliars were all dried. While they soaked up their drenches I went to work raising the Dorm Grow LED panel another 5" and got things ready to go back to hospice. I only had 90 minutes to get everything done, so I snapped pictures on the run and dashed out as soon as I finished. I still haven't really taken the time to look at the pictures closely. We'll be doing that together today.
The humidity and temperature are within acceptable limits for me right now. That humidity is getting a bit low. I may need to keep the SWICK tray wet, just for the evaporation. That may also be a reflection of the tent being open while I'm working. I'll be more attentive to that next time and see for sure.
On to my charges. First up, Cheese Candy, at Day 41 and now 22" tall.
The statuesque Auto Jock Horror x Auto Amnesia, now 39 days into her dance.
Mmmmmmm. She has the most delicious smell. Sweet and sultry. She's loading on some healthy-looking trichomes too. Mmmmmmm.
Auto Destroyer, at Day 41.
Our lovely little Sativa, my African Buzz, at Day 40.
They all look contented under here. Do I have them close enough to the light Duggan?
I got real excited to open the tent after getting home. Didn't even stop to take my shoes off at the door. I don't do depravation well. The new Geo Pots came in today, so I may be able to get them transplanted sometime soon. Dale's hanging on here with the tenacity befitting an Eagle Scout. I can't for the life of me figure out how he's still breathing. No dialysis or insulin for nine days, no food for three, and he's still pulling in the breaths, and every once in a while he comes up and tries to get out of bed. They're doing their best to keep his agitation levels under control. Right now he's resting comfortably.
I need to work up a plan for getting everyone transplanted with the greatest efficiency, just in case I have a limited time to devote to it.
Alright guys. Get yourselves out there and spread that joy. I'll do my best from the confines of hospice. I am righteously buzzed, having treated myself to six teeny-tiny hits of the Dark Devil while I was home and baked some buds for later and for tomorrow, should I need to NOT go home then. I'm good to stay here through Wednesday morning. It's nice that this center is so convenient to our apartment. It only took me three hours to get home, do my chores and get back here. My bus connections have been some of my best ever. I keep thinking "Meant to be."
The Dark Devil isn't going to last another week. Just long enough to be of the most good though, so no complaints from here. A sweet, speedy high that really lights up every cell in my body. WOW! Life looks good from here! Grow this one again as soon as the seeds get planted next Girl! Grow it every cycle for a while. Every time I expect the high to diminish earlier. Every morning I wake up still buzzed from the day before. I don't think I've been completely straight since I started with the baked buds last week. I know guys, so improbable, and yet, here I am living it.
Life moves on. My sense of being in limbo is going to come to an end soon. Every time I consider that it makes me pause. I read that sentence over and over for almost ten minutes before I could continue typing. My life has been in limbo for almost 20 years. Life in limbo is my normal. Part of me can't even conceive of it being any other way. This will be interesting.
Enough rambling. On to other matters. Have a wonderful, joy-filled day everyone.
