Yes you are!
They might! I was like "dont bother with the bro science bs forums and sites!" and to come here. The depth of techniques, products and genetics that are documented here accompanied by so many sage voices regarding personal grows and plant knowledge is unbeatable. Comparatively less toxic than most sites too.
Agreed!
I saw an ad for it somewhere while researching and never clicked it but meant to check on it. I have a lot of interest in freeze driers as a method of food conservation for all the ugly food that gets thrown out still/deep discounted etc.
I just looked them up. I have so many things on my wish list. Busy before this is an air oven for some crumble
They have a massive electric draw and need vigilant maintenance.
It'd be so cool to set up renewable energy source(s) and run it completely off of that.
You know what I have to say to my energy suppliers when they send me stuff like this
I say, I am making GREAT IF NOT FANTASTIC use of my electricity use, thank you very much! I'd love to add on another appliance!
Even more so if the mods that this company did to their freeze driers actually come close to working as advertised.
As if
Coral structuring might be on us to investigate and document, find out how much of a thing it is!
It's a beachy thang..maybe it's the salt in the air
Good thing you're such a waterbaby! Lol, if you'd been a desert loving dweller I may have called you a trichy puma or something without thinking
Bahahahaha trichy puma! That was my spirit animal one of my last grows until
@Nine Toed Hippie told me to be an Ocelot and it was then I was a stoned ocelot
Excellent start to the Stooges Krissi! And I know it may be a while but I'm looking forward to seeing you with a greenhouse full of plants (as long as they're all in one journal
)! I hope I'm still here to see it.
Hi Shed! Thank you so so much! I hope that I can achieve retirement status and be able to deliver for the both of us in due time!
Maybe you can buy some of your stuff back!
Can I buy stuff from someone
I mean shoot
I've still got an AE-1 body along with a Nikon F3 and FG from the early 80s. Haven't touched them since 1999 or so when point and shoot digital came out.
That's like the one in Pretty Woman!
I Love that Pollen collection, that's quite the bit of work that you've put in.
That is AMAZING
@OldMedUser, WOW!
They would have to run a DNA test on the pollen to prove what it is! Could be any kind.
Hahaha! And send me the labs!
I ain't worried about that
ATTA BOY!
Also Krissi, I'm sorry to have hijacked your journal a bit on this curiosity.
You all know, talk and converse away!
I did regular unsalted butter once then tried coconut oil and liked that better. MCT oil is really good and supposed to extract better than most as well. Cost quite a bit more tho but stays liquid at room temp and has almost zero taste.
Absolutely going to try soon!
I may have to push a little harder to get some help from the wife and her daughter. I'd like to train my step-daughter up enough to take care of the plants if I go anywhere for any length of time.
If she is willing she will be able! Plus, she has a guru with you!
When I go out to BC I usually go around the middle of Oct for 4 - 6 weeks. That's coho salmon season out in the Fraser Valley so I can get lots of fishing in with my son while I'm there. My cousin Bob over on Vancouver Island wants me to go over there next time I come out but that's as much a journey as getting out to the valley to visit mom and other family. Long drive to the ferry terminal at Horseshoe Bay then an expensive 2 hour trip across to Naniamo and an even longer drive up the island to Campbell River. Salmon capitol of the world tho and he's as much a fishing nut as I am so would be fun. Still want to move there so I can have a few golden years in my retirement.
!
Love fishing. Love crabbing. Love fishing shows. Love crabbing shows. Love the water. Mermaid status. Take me to the fish! I also wish I had someone to tend to the girls so I could go on vacation!
I also need more space for growing so hoping to fix that soon. I would just buy an 8x4' tent but only have 77.5" clearance and most tents that size are 80" tall. VivoSun makes one shorter but it has a hip-roof design I'm not crazy about.
Hip? Like the house design?
It's not hard to deal with boys to collect pollen and just pollinate a few buds on a branch so you don't use a whole plant for seeds unless you want to. I've been pollen chucking for 20 years now.
I would be concerned I would fail at this. Is it easily done? The single branch pollination?
Not like it's free money but nice to have something for backup in an emergency. Furnace is 32 years old, whole water system could use replacing etc etc. 5 years ago I couldn't have borrowed a nickle from any bank.
I hear you, we need a few things remodeled, too. Really want to convert the house from its now oil heat
I like packing my little camera with me in case I see anything worth shooting. Old barns and farm buildings, sunsets, various animals, fish when I catch one but northern pike are ugly critters. Pretty much anything that makes a good pic.
That's a photographer at heart right there. I do the same.
Did some research last night and I need to find me a Canon mirrorless digital camera and get an adaptor to use my lenses with it. Not sure of the model yet but will soon find out then start looking for a used one I can get fairly cheap. Shouldn't cost me more than $500 or a bit more to go digital. Everything will have to be done manually but that's the way I did most of my photography so no biggy. I have hundreds of photos and need to scan them all and title them with relevant info so my kids and grandkids know when and where they were taken. Need to print out some of the digital photos I have now so I can put some up on the walls around here.
And post the pics here, or a couple at least for us!
Family record breaking 21.5" rainbow trout I caught on that spin rod on a little Vibrax spinner at our family cabin last fall. 50 years ago my oldest little sister got a skinny spawner that was 18" and she crowed about that ever since. Unfortunately she passed March 2020 from ovarian cancer so all I could do is wave it in the air and say, Told ya I'd beat ya eventually!
My grandpa's old fiberglass fly rod at the bottom I try to get a fish on every year. Got a couple on that trip but not worth taking pics of. 12" if that.

Ooh yum! Such good flavor in those trout! Reminds me of watching Life Below Zero, I would be thrilled to catch a few of those on a line!
Right? Me too!!
Day 8 since sprout so Day 9?
Everyone is golden except
Mo almost looks like she has
N overkill with her very tips pointing down. I don't know how that could be though as they've all been tended to the same. Thoughts? Coloring seems fine. Idk...
Curly as she should be is getting bigger, being the auto in the bunch and an
Indica at that. She does have a bizarre color to her but seems happy as can be.
Larry is the normal one in the bunch.
Thirds coming in on all.
Humidity 65%
Soon to the 3gl water reserve pots they will go!
PPFD at 285
Fa la la la la la la la la laaaaaa
Christmas presents this year!
does. Nowhere near the mountains of information accessible here and user friendly. And speaking of friendly, you won't find a more helpful and pleasant bunch than the friends here!
