You know, to make up for it, on my menu for this week, I will be cooking a new recipe-Irish Mac and Cheese with Irish Dubliner Cheddar, Havarti, bacon and kale slaw! Sounds good, yea???!!!
Aaaand I was never on Terpinator silly! I was on FFCMag..is that what you meant?
Hey Carmen, not super woman-if I was I would have such long hiatuaes on here! I promise I'll rest...doing it today granted I have my son with me and I need a Krissi day but eventually. My parents are actually coming next Wed for a week and a half so I'll have help around the house. And they are taking him for a day on the 2nd so I'll have an entire day (until soccer) to sleep or just sit and veg on the couch or whatever! Thanks for the baby love, I spread the word to them!!!
HIII Bode!!!!
Yea I realized I hadn't touched on that yet in this journal so I figured, why not. Today is about feeding these 5, which I also haven't discussed yet at least if I did, I don't remember lol
I hope so!! I've never had issues before so fingers crossed we will follow suit with this grow!!!!
You know I admit that a part of it is probably the years of TK in my head saying how he provides for me so much of the extra work I do now is to show him how I can still do everything and anything and I don't need him. That was always his get-me when he would f up. I wasn't working for 4 years and he held that over my head. I also think me grinding is changing how he acts towards me and towards his demons...he knows I can very well leave whenever I want now, so it's scaring him straight. I do what I have to do to survive and keep my emotions at bay so my mental state can be OK for my son. Physically, I'm tough as nails even with my ailments so working hard is not a problem for me. I'd rather be tired than stressed.
Yes! I picked up a side job that turned into others seeing what I do organizing so I have picked up other side jobs since. It's rewarding and instant gratification for me doing this type of stuff
I agree and I am working on that balance we all know I stink at...but I promise, I won't let anything consume me.
yea but then if have to go back and delete then re post..ugh...the extra work lmao
Oh my!!! Well thanks for this Stone!!! Looking forward to a first foray!!!!! Appreciate the detail!
You would only come off as caring, Clover.
I'm less of an experimenter and more of a wing it-er....both serve the same purpose!
Yes! Sure! Just need to get some time set apart for a trip hahahaha but I would def help if I could!!!
I checked if I did but I didn't but I did di what Lady C said below...ugh...marijuana and it's mind messing up properties lol
I've done it in the past and deleted and re posted my pics and it worked so I guess this is why this has happened to me before...this time, I didn't bother to go back and change it up, time was sparse!
For real...I was like, wait what?
Asking for a friend lol
I never knew.....
Yep, thanks Brew!!!
Aaaahhhhh thank you!!
Hi belle. Of course Carmen...you know my journals are an open forum for all!
Never, always welcome
Thanks so much Lady C!
Hello again. It's a day off for me so I started with PMs then went into my tent for some seedling care and love and pics and then decided to take this time ai have to do my last tent strain entry so that this weekend, we can move forward with the transplanting. It is supposed to rain Saturday and as such soccer will probably be rescheduled for that day and the aide job I was planning to do was outside work, so I'm grateful for a day off and the opportunity to take my time with these transplants. It could be Sunday afternoon I do them but either way, I know it's getting done this weekend and I can get a bit of a reprieve.
My
seedlings get fed generally by
spritz spray only although I occasionally use a ketchup bottle type squeeze bottle to squirt a couple happy
outer rings of water around the edges of the pot to encourage the
roots to branch out. This only happens after Day 7 above ground as I never want to overwhelm my seedlings prior to
root development taking a turn for bigger and better things.
I find that
1gl per 5 seedlings is generally enough seedling feed to get me through to transplant.
With that said, we are going into a brief discussion about the infamous
Gelato strain.
We are running
2 Gelato autoflowers this grow and they have been named, as aforementioned,
Gina and
Grace. These girls popped out of the soil 2 days apart so we have one who is a little younger. In addition, the seedling who is 2 days junior, happens to look like she may be a tiny one in comparison to her sister. We shall see. These plants always surprise me. (Oh that rhymed).
Gelato is a mix of
Sunset Sherbert x Thin Mint Girl Scout Cookies. It is an
indica heavy plant which for all of you that know me, know I'm an Indica girl so this is going to be my go to smoke/edible.
The dominant
terpenes of this strain are
D-Limonene,
Myrcene,
Beta-Caryophyllene, and
Linalool. The taste is sweet and creamy and fruity reminiscent of berry and flower fields. It is a mentally stimulating and physically relaxing, balanced sensation (I only smoked it's freezer hash but I loved it)
A strain ideal for improving mood, reducing stress and pain relief. Medical uses are not limited to, depression, fatigue, insomnia, anxiety, PTSD, muscle spasms, inflammation and migraines.
THC levels vary from
22-27%, I'm hoping that with our droughting routine, we will be able to amp this number up close to
30% and will be very heavy hitting for me when I need to come down from these busy days.
Growing this plant, the tent smells distinctly sweet with a slight grassy aroma mixed in notes of lavender, earthy and berries. Her nugs smell 100% like thin mint girl scout cookies, you almost get that wintergreen nose feeling when you sniff her. Again, my last 2 of this hermied 2 winters ago so this will be a first to come to fruition. I'm curious to see how and if that changes this profile.
Without further adieu, I introduce to you Miss
Gina and Miss
Grace and with that, I'm signing off this journal. Have to go play some with my son before he takes out every single toy he owns (he's already halfway there) Have a side job while he is at school tomorrow but will be home the remainder of the day and plan to catch up on all my journals later today and tomorrow afternoon and over the weekend-provided work gets postponed.
Grace is a leaner!
This journal will not have a new post until transplant day but as always, you guys are welcome to continue the conversation on the edible train cause that is one of my main goals right now-learning as much as I can about it.
Ciao!
