Haven't been around in a while but WOW Med GOM is astounding. When I start some autos I will have to follow your advice on how to grow them.
I've been watching, and I've been fairly certain that #1 is the stretchy pheno and #2 the short, but they're starting to look much more alike. Fun! I'll be doing the same when I restart - I'll run two at once. 
In the Kit tent, the Carnivals are on Day 12.
#2 is the top specimen, #1 is on the bottom of this picture. Interesting how different they look, isn't it? #2 has just a little more punch to the leaf definition.
Working on the 4th nodes. #1 is on the right.
Med GOM 1.0 (Day 50) What can I say? Such understated beauty. The structure's worked out better than I imagined, and I got the canopy under control and super low to keep from having to mess with the light. It looks like I might be capable of learning to keep the closet babes low and full.
Yeah, I'm real happy with how this one's going. Watching arteekay has helped tremendously. It's becoming instinctive to manipulate her. I could get used to this. It really wasn't much work to get her to this point and I've probably tripled the potential yield
There's a couple of weeks in the middle where it's a bit of daily adjustment, but after that ya get to really just sit back and see how ya made out. I make new mistakes every time, but it never seems to really fail to improve yield.
Our buddy Pigeons and the entire family were over again this weekend and we had a few minutes to chat about his re-entry into the auto world. Sweet Seeds Red Poison, but I'm sure we can convince him to do a Dark Devil as well eventually.

Oh lexort, I'm so glad you think so. I've been off studying, but I was hoping you'd checked in. Thank you. Whew! I can breathe again.
I'm getting a good energy from her now and hoping that stays constant. Thanks photos. The DDAs are so enticing we continue to grow them even when we get a couple stunted ones.
Here's one of my favorite shots, of another stunted one. I harvested this one early when I tore my grow down in December to go on vacation. 
Like a fine painting. *sigh*
Don't follow me for that, follow arteekay and his cohort JayBizzle. That's who I follow. Lol! I've got nothing on them.

Ooooo...... Can't wait to see you get started again Graytail. Monday evenings haven't been the same.
These two should be well into the cure before I run off on my next vacation. I'm going to need to run another Critical by then, but I may do another Carnival too, get enough stock to get an inventory of oil to play with.

How wonderful! That made three weekends in a row? You guys are family now.
His enthusiasm and the Dark Devil Auto..... The effect will be mesmerizing. Lol! We'll make it happen sooner or later. He was much taken by the color of the Red Poison, so you've already primed the pump, and thank you for that. You make a great ambassador.

My brain's been playing a strange trick on my lately. Maybe one of you will recognize something in the narrative.
I'll be walking, it doesn't matter inside or out. What matters are shiny floors or a wet sidewalk. Not that I notice them necessarily, but a part of my brain's been taking particular notice of shiny floors and wet walkways and interpreting them as slippery or icy. I'll place my foot and my brain perceives that I'm slipping on ice or slippery floors and I'll reflexively jerk, then realize it happened again. I began to wonder if it's some warning of a future event, and it just happened when I went to step into the hall from the kitchen to head back to the living room and the iPad. The dull shine of the hall flooring was enough for my brain to register it as slippery and I felt like the foot slipped on a perfectly dry and decidedly not frozen floor.
This started happening about three or four days ago, and it's happened more than once on any given day since. Every time I'm near a shiny walkway.
It's notable that this phenomenon only happens with the right foot, as I step. The right side of the body is controlled by the left side of the brain, the logical side. I'm a Saggitarrian woman, strongly ruled by intuition. We analyze the hell out of every single thing in our lives. We revel in tearing it apart to examine it under the microscope and see what makes it tick. You can only imagine the introspective conversations I've had with my inner self about this irrational expression.
It just occurred to me that I had that depth-perception challenge when I was carrying boxes down for donations, when my brain suddenly refused to judge the distance to the next step and I had to force myself to keep going. That happened more than once, but doesn't challenge me anymore. The light has to be just so to cause that. I wonder if the two things are related somehow?
So what's the logical side of my brain doing here?
Right now it's coming up on 3 AM. Lights out and SweetSue's bedtime. If you have any thoughts, leave them and I'll check first thing after I wake up.
Goodnight all.

It means that your sanity has finally drained fully away and now things like balance and stability are starting to slip away.
No worries... sanity, balance, and stability have always been highly over-rated.
On a real note... the brain is such an amazing thing. I just love the crazy things that can happen. I've always been amazed by the folks that mix up senses... smelling color or seeing sound and whatnot.

Daily Update: Monday, August 8, 2016
Just a wee bit of maintenance this morning. The LOS no-tills each got 1/2 gallon of the neem/kelp tea that bubbled and filled the house with the rich aroma of neem for the past 24 hours. My daughter stopped in to do laundry and asked why the place smelled like baked beans cooking? I'm thankful the weather's changed to overcast with cool breezes off the river, because it means I can open everything up and air the place out. It's been a bit overpowering.
The hempy pot got flushed with clear, PH-adjusted water. I've gotten to be pretty good at adjusting PH. I can't imagine having to do that for more than a gallon at a time. What a pain that'd be.
So let's see what they're up to this morning, shall we?
Starting in the auto tent......
Industrial Plant (Day 21) Slow but steady progress.
Dark Devil Auto (Day 49) Let's see if the tea has any appreciable effects on her over the next couple days.
Still waiting.
Into the kit tent......
Going out for the fan as soon as I get a shower and breakfast.
The Carnivals (Day 13)
I can see why Graytail saw a distinction between them. I can see it myself. There's a subtle difference in the leaf shape that suggests I may have one of each pheno type. #2 does appear to be showing as the bushy one I grew first. Still a little early to tell.
Around the corner to the tiny closet........
Med GOM 1.0 (Day 51) I'll be quiet now and let you just enjoy.
She has her own beauty, and her smell is extraordinary. A deep, buttery, comforting fragrance that embraces you. The oil from this one should be tasty.
Let me get some breakfast in me and get to the store for a fan to draw cool air into the kit tent. Then I have a course on treating anxiety and depression with cannabis that's ready to go. That's gonna take most of my week, so if I'm a bit hard to find that's why. I'm never too busy to be stopped if you need my help, so please don't hesitate to PM me in such a case. I check fairly regularly. One can only study that hard for so long and you need some comic relief.
Thanks for stopping by to visit. I'll be back later today. I'll be spreading joy while I'm out. You do your part where you are. Together we make the universe a better place. Kinda nice, eh?

I found it very intriguing. I'm going to read it again later and put together a little post on it after I look a bit more deeply into the research used to build the case. I wasn't aware that the differences between the way men and women process and experience cannabis were so pronounced, and yet it explained a lot of my relationship with my husband and our relationship with pot. That's what we were smoking. Pot. Packed so tightly that it came to us in hard chunks, full of stem and seed. Not a trichome left standing. I wouldn't call that cannabis, even on a technicality.
I'm sitting here watching my essential oil distiller convert my Everclear 151 into something more acceptable for concentrates. An interesting experience. I measured out the Everclear and calculated out what 3/4 of that volume would be. I measured that volume of water into the glass bottle the ethanol gets distilled into.
I've had this distiller since February and this is the first real opportunity to do this without taking it outside. With the windows open I get a marvelous cross-breeze that'll push any fumes right out the window next to this dresser. Pressure systems freak me a bit, similar to my hesitation about sharp knives and tools, so I've put this off much longer than necessary. I'm going to need to make oil before long though, so no time like the present. I'm still waiting for it to get up to steam.
I'm going to end up with approx. 8.25 cups of a much improved proof from the 11 cups I started with. I'll let you know how it pans out in the end.

Stopped in for some DDA Zen... I am feeling quite intimidated right now. One of the top breeders in the world just joined 
and headed right to my journal documenting his seeds! Please everyone welcome Santero to the forum!

Take a deep breath Emmie.
Take another.
I stopped to welcome him. Beautiful plants, eh? A shame they turned out to be males. I've had that happen with OG's Thunderpaws. A couple of the most beautiful plants I've grown to date, and the only two I got to germinate went male.
