Trala’s Tent

Good evening. I’m stuck on a nightshift. It’s nearly midnight here.

I’m not sure. My Wookie F2 auto is a couple of weeks in, and I think my Laughing Buddha is a week behind, so in answer to your question, I still got fucking ages! Lol

Omg that tape is a game changer. It’s weird how it works, coz it’s not sticky at all to touch, but it sticks.
Where did you get the tape? I've been using double sided Velcro "tape" for my oops's but I think wut you have will be better for me.

And oooof sorry about the night shift... I couldn't do it so props to ya.... But how's work going? Are you at least having a decent night?

And yes 😂 that answers my question...."has fucking ages" hahaha but it'll be worth the wait.

Look it’s okay. My patients are all good, except for ya mum in Bed 13. I’m not working with my chosen team, but they’ll have to do.

I am a self torturer. I finish at 0730, and I have organised to get my hair done at 0800, after working 10 hours. I do this to myself every 8 weeks, and every 8 weeks at around midnight I question myself as to why?

And yes 😂 that answers my question...."has fucking ages" hahaha but it'll be worth the wait.
I’m aiming for a perpetualation. So far so good.
 
Okay so there’s heaps I don’t know about growing. Like heaps. But I think I understand striking clones. Now disclaimer I am by no way saying this is the proper way or right way. I am just sharing how I do it. I’m also not promoting products.

Tbh its mainly for @Billpopy79. He’s taught me so much, but the boy can’t clone for shit. So this is for you babe ;)

Now I am thinking about it cloning is a bit like wound care. You want to use an aseptic technique which is just fancy for clean. And you want to be prepared, so get your materials ready.

Step 1

Obviously your pot, which has been washed dried and filled with a propagation mix, and a hole ready for your cutting - I use a pen. A Stanley knife, I’m not sure if you call them that. And a rooting agent, which you have tipped into the lid.

Step 2

You need to cut above the hmm thingy branchy growth part, I’ve made that line red. That’s not where you clone cut, that is your cutting point, the yellow arrow demonstrates my clone cutting point. I have discovered if you cut a clone when topping it grows symmetrically, like a seed plant. Look I say I discovered I’m sure it’s common knowledge - I just didn’t know.

I also trim the leaves at this point while still attached to the plant. I have no idea why it’s just how I do it. Then I cut it, and I always cut on an angle, again no idea why. I just use old scissors.

Step 3

Take your cutting, think of it like amputating a leg. To ensure you don’t get an infection you want your operating table clean, your equipment clean, and you want to move as swiftly as possible. The longer a wound stays opened the more chance of infection.

Take your Stanley knife and with one swift movement cut diagonally, dip it in the rooting agent, then straight into the hole you made in your pot. Really push the cutting into the soil so the exposed stem is embedded quite firmly.

Step 4

Make a dome with air holes to encourage a humid environment. Do not do this by drilling into your plastic tops on a fabric chair with a baby sheet on it LOLLLL

Pop the dome on top, I water twice a day 10mL each feed using a syringe. I usually use water but I am going to use Tega Brop, 0.5g/2L

From this point and for the next 10 -14 days you want gentle sun and bish bash bosh done motherfucker.

Thanks T!
Much appreciated!

Hey you know how I can be extra as fuck a tiny bit extra?

Well I have decided going forward if I find one of my Bee’s has a leaf that is a bit fab or extra, I’m going to preserve it. I’m so annoyed I didn’t have his idea earlier!

This is my second embalmed omg not embalmed what do you call it when you press a leaf? Omg is it pressed? Anyhoo this is my second leaf, and it’s from Justine my Wookie F2 Auto. She throws these extraordinary three pointed leaves which I’ve not seen before on a vegging/flowering plant. Revegging yes, but regular vegging no. So I embalmed it lol.

You're going to need a bigger wall!!!!
 
It made me literally laugh out loud.

And it didn’t. It just demonstrates how men are from Mars and women are from Venus.

Me: do you like this dress?
Bf: you look so voluptuous
Me: *motherfucker just called me fancy talk fat*
Me: *changes dress*
Well.... your plants are voluptuous!
 
Happy Sunday!

Omg my night shift. Things you never think you’ll ever have to say to a patient in their early 90’s. “I’m just trying to help you, please don’t bite me” lollllling! The funniest part, her teeth were literally under her pillow.

So it’s Sunday Summary time!

Greg is a beautiful girl. Her flowers are looking so pretty and clean. I’m very happy with her CarCanopy.

I’ve done June a bit of a disservice keeping that second and third head she grew at her top site. It’s made it difficult to CarCanopy her because she has so much going on at that top site. She is a big girl, that’s fo sho.

I didn't expect to feel so emotional and sad. What a woman! She was an institution. I feel for Britain 😢
 
Sorry to hear of the Queens passing, T.- :hugs:
She was a great woman, may she rest in peace...:love:
 
I’m so sad by it. The UK will be in mourning. And a big shout out to all the Poms who must be shell shocked today. As part of the Commonwealth we felt we knew her. I felt genuine love for her. She was our queen, but she was Englands mother.

I know all the words to God Save the Queen. My English father made sure of it. Some of my favourite memories involve him drunk and us singing it together. I still remember a car ride with dad, I must have been around 5, the convo went like this

Me: dad what’s the queens last name?
Dad: Windsor
Me: like the sausage?
Dad: yeah love, she named it.
Me:*totes believed this till I was in my 20’s*

Anyhoo while we’re on the subject of queens, 1,2,3 back to me.

Perpetualling on fleek.

I currently have 3 stages of flower happening.

🌻🌺🌹

I hope you are able to be watching the service at St. Paul's. The choral stuff is elevating and beautiful. I thought King Charles speech was very loving before. It was an emotional experience watching him and Camilla looking at the tributes, whilst the crowd cheered God save the king.
