Oiiii I will take any smart I can get. And FYI what I may lack in book smarts, I make up for in street smarts

Hey K do you remember how I kept my plants wet while I was away this time last year? I tried to look back but I talk sooooooo much shit. I just can’t deal with reading myself for another second.

I am 84% sure it involved volcano jizz (perlight) coz I have a big bag, and I’m semi sure I bought it to do something with water. Mimmy drinks 6L per day. I’m going to leave them all full shade to hopefully reduce their thirst.

whoa doll you are scraping the bottom of the barrel when relying on my memory

I remember talking about it, think it was our friend Mr. @BillPopy who mentioned a sub irrigated planter bed…. theres a better name but it’s early - brain is still misfiring……. like a kiddie pool with perlite & water that you set your containers in.

Its called a swick - if you care to read back post 1759 Tra’s Trip and then swick pic below was copied from post 1790

Love this place - Gold Star HashGirl!

It comes pretty naturally to me as my mum was a high school English teacher, my dad was a university English professor and all of my sisters (I have 4) are teachers and one of them owns a private school. I chose to use my English skills as a secretary.

When we witness the meeting of two brilliant minds

You two would be great at scrabble.

I actually play Scrabble every week with my dad. We average between 250 and 300 points each per game so we're not great players but we have fun.

Well at least one person stayed till the end LOLLLINGGGGG

I should have retaped it but I just couldn’t have been fucked.

I stayed until the end. It was a very Tra thing.

It is.... and a "dangling participle" isn't anything like it sounds...

Thank you so much for the kind words, Trala !
Here's a few pics of the hook making process- it's pretty easy...

I start with a skewer($1.00 for about a hundred of 'em at the dollar store) and 3.5" of 20ga. solid core thermostat wire (Hardware store) -other soft wire will work too- I just happen to have about 200 feet of the t-stat wire from back in my my working days...


Then you simply wrap the wire tightly around the skewer- all but 3/8" of it, which is what you bend into a hook...


It should end up pretty tight on the skewer- but you'll still be able to adjust it for different heights.


So, like @Trala said- bish, bash, bosh, and you're done.
You'll probably need 20 of them to train a typical plant!
If anyone has any questions, feel free to pm me about it!

In case anyone is interested, I use pipe cleaners instead of wire as Carcass and Trala do.

Ok so Admin told me this is the way to correctly post a video. Fingers crossed it works!

Great video and thank you!!

The lights of TS series (excluding TS600) can all adjust the light brightness according to the growing needs of plants.
Customers who purchase after April 2020 should have a dimmer box for dimming. Purchased before then can also be dimmed by debugging the potentiometer on the power supply.

I got mine in May. I think I have the 1000 one. Since buying it I have literally only ever turned it on and off, and I had no idea there were these extra functions.

Even without knowing about the dimmers it has been a fabulous light

 

[Trala]

Wow. Here is some new pic. The runt is now taking of as well... So u say I shouldn't scrog?

Hi there

They look really good! Well done on the reveg. They are so difficult to rebirth. In fact I think yours look 100% better than any monstercropped clone I have tried to Reveg. I have found once they actually strike, the growth EXPLODES!

I hate scrog nets. I did buy one, and I have seen them used in here with great results, but for me I like to be able to move my plants, and to closely inspect them. And I hate saying the word scrog.

For me I have found Carhooks are the ducks nuts when it comes to training. They allow me control when it comes to guiding branch growth. I even sometimes loop and feed a branch backwards in the opposite direction to fill spaces.

You do need to put your journal link in your signature. I have found my greatest helpers via that function. Don’t ask me how to do it tho coz I get talked through it and I’ve now forgotten. @HashGirl is our resident techgirl, she might be able to help

You’re a fucking legend!

How long did it take you to find that?

I’m about to jump back in time. Wish me luck

 

[Trala]

@013 omg how weird is this?

These posts were written one year ago to. the. fucking. day!

The Tangerine Dreams

OMG MY HEARTTTTTTT

 

[013]

27 seconds…. no shit - no way, I’d didn’t even digest that part. How crazy is that??

seems that coincided with reports of QLD hospital patients doodey bombing from 4th floor window cuz all the funky blue bedpans went missing.

When I uppotted a couple of days ago I meant to do a selfie #safteyfirst but forgot. Funniest thing I was wearing this exact top and hat! Not even joking! I totes wear 20% of my clothes 80% of the time lollllingggg

I have said it before, when it comes to potting mix you really need to wear a mask. I see patients every year with terrible lung infections caused by breathing in the pathogens in the soil.

I promise I’m not going to flood you with omg remember when… but this is so weird. Seeing Twiggy! I know I just said I wouldn’t but @Carcass remember when you said “I’ve never said this about a plant before but… bin her” LOLLLL

Those fucking shit house bush weed seeds. So bad! They were legit like weeds. Ratty low potency weeds.

013, I don’t thank you enough for all you do for me. You really were my first friend and I love your guts. Thanks for sticking with me. Xo

 

[013]

I had no clue about potting mix & respiratory problems so thank you - I take that warning seriously.

Aww sweetie you always had green thumbs but only took slight adjustment for this crop. Your plants look stellar and best part is they get better each time. I lucked out by hooking up with you on day 1… it’s been a fun ride Missy so nope - thank you for sticking with my antics

I play Scrabble online we average between 300 and 350 points. And when I say 300-350 I actually mean 100-120.

Thanks Daisybird

Oh on the skewer?

Oh you’re welcome And it can be serious. I’m not joking. We have admits every year.

This is the only comparison pic I’ll do.

And I want to add. My Mimmy is almost the same age as my Tangies were this time last year. It seems like both yesterday and 100 years ago. How weird. And even weirder, I still have one of those Tangies in Tee Bee. I feel so nostalgic. Omg reading that awful moment when I discovered @Regrowth had a penis! LOLLLLLLING! And what happened to that PK? He used to be EVERYWHERE!

What a difference a year can make in 420 Mag. I really feel Carhooking is what made the difference. I used to just grow up, but now I grow out and up. Oh maybe it’s the Tega Brop *taps nose* too. They are the only two changes I’ve made.

Here you go, @marcus611a : How to add a link to your grow journal to your signature

Oh on the skewer?

Yes, ma'am.

Happy Thanksgiving to the Americans

Seeing @babygirl-omg there are too many baby girl options to choose from! I can’t find you! Lolll Seeing your festive cooking got me in the spirit.

On the first day of Christmas 420 gave to meeeeee
3 special seeds that grew Tangerine Dreams….

I have had the BEST day. Trees up

This is Yule Turd. It is what remains of a clay reindeer my son made me at 6 years of age. And this grinning suicidal freak is an angel he made me at 8. They are my two greatest Xmas treasure

And let there be sparkles! The twinkle of Christmas lights makes my heart sing

 

[Dohc007]

Love the tree T!

And the turd!
