Pipecarvers Pipes & things

[Skinnypuppy80]

Me....Nofkin way ....when I'm in my 70's I start drinking Gin??? Must be a sign that I'm losing it.

There's nothing wrong with gin n tonics w lime. I may have to try it w olives now.

 

[Pipecarver]

I'm a sissy with gin. I only like it in the Summer and it has to be mixed. I love a good Tom Collins when it's hot out. Another Summer gin drink that has stuck with me since I was a teen is Seagram's and 7Up. It's funny, but gin feels like drinking Christmas trees in the Summer

We've been having drinks before diner and we like it straight no mix.1 Good 3-4 oz with olives & a joint or 2 gets me a good buzz. Usually just coffee after that I don't like hangovers so I cut it off...usually...lol....maybe 1 more drink if I'm feeling frisky...

I like tonic but its just Gin an ice cube & olives, I like the olives still with pits. I find the stuffed olives leak too much olive juice into the gin and the lower drinks taste more like olive juice than Gin.

Tanqueray and tonic was my jam in my drinking days!

I've tried every brand they sell here now and its Tangueray or Bombay we swap back and forth with. There's some Blue stuff that's nice but $20/bottle more and its not that nice to want to spend the extra on it.

Its chop day. 11 weeks. I haven't looked at trichs in years now I don't care at this point. if they ain't done, fkem theys getting smoked anyways. I think its a noob concern.

Do you still look or are in in my camp with fk it they're done? I get a lot of flack on that stance on Reddit. It can rile up the mass of noobs on there.

I've been talking with a guy lately tha'ts 76, life long grower large crops indoors big operations and still sells seeds and he thinks I'm nuts...lol.....He or his wife still look, but when pressed on when he chops....its around 10-11-12 weeks....lol but he says it still depends on the plants....I'm not arguing that I just don't care any longer. I don't recognize a different buzz off bud so precisely that I can tell the difference a day or 2 of extra growth gets ya

Have to agree with you pipe i never check trichs either from seed to harvest 14 weeks ready or not your done.

 

[steamroller]

I chop when the room is ready/ish.
Never super concerned if I am early or late by other standards.
The room will slow down and I know I can kill it anytime after that.
I don't look at each plant and think this one needs weeks more.
It is nice with the cannatrol to harvest 1 or 3 plants early if they are done and then the room after, that is the most not all at once chop I can do.

Chop day, 2 are down and hung up, I may get to another this evening...or not...I took down 1 Triangle Death Kush and the Gassy Cream Cake. Done or not done??? dead now its moot.. The humidity dropped 4* after the second one came out to 44% from 48%, better air flow and less transpiration.

I noticed when I shut off the water line valve to pull 1 plant that the airline was not hooked up to the Gassy cream cake...fk...still looks good but...what could have been...lol

 

[Beachwalker]

Nice! frosty

I check to make sure there's Amber because I rely heavily on weed to help me sleep

Ya I hear you but for me if there's no amber by 11 weeks something has to be wrong 95%+ I grow I aim for Indica's, I'm not interested in 16 week flowering plants. You'll see all my plants have shorter, fatter wide leaves

Hey, gins new to me, i tried it in the past but never liked it. About 15 years ago we flew to Vegas, Early one morning about 8am we walked into a Keno/sport bet place and a waitress walked by with large glasses of Martini's loaded with large green solid olives and my wife says hey I'll take one of those...I said make it 2 so we sat and played Keno drinking Martini's until about 10 am....lol...then went back to our room and slept the 110f day away.

We didn't drink it again until just recently...6 months maybe...Its a slow drink and just a sip at a time works wonders for my arthritis doc. Its not a habit...really...as I stare at another glass with 4 olives way down on the bottom below 3-4 oz clear toxins.

My mom and grandmother used to mix pink lemonade with it along with the normal tonic water drinks. Pretty sure I’ve had it with red/blood grapefruit. I’ll get it for a change if I see a bottle on sale.

If you like a dry gin like Tanqueray but don't want to spend all that money you might like Beefeater, it's no Tanqueray but it's a very acceptable dry gin

Sounds familiar. It the one with the bowler hat? Pretty sure I’ve had Tanqueray a few times too on sale. They have different flavours iirc.

Brokers was the one I was thinking of, not Beefeaters.

I harvested my other Triangle Death Skunk and although the buds are smaller Its because of so much larf and lowers I didn't trim up, regardless she's a pretty plant.

This is my left side triangle Death Skunk, Brought to you from under a FC4000_EVO in Promix/Perlite 50/50 ish with a healthy load of Worm castings about 1 1/2 gallon per 6 gal promix and 3 gal perlite. Then some Azomite at a healthy 1 tbs/gal ( soil) and Gypsom at about the same. and 2 cups Mycos maybe a smidge more.

General Hydroponics 3 part + Cal Magic when needed and Kool Bloom Liquid then KoolBloom dry I also use Diamond Nectar & Epsom salts in my res with AutoPots I use Hyclean to help deal with salt build up.

I've been playing with Far Reds and use them intermittently to help widen the leaves and stretch them out of the pots early in veg at just 15 min at lights out for 1 week at a time. I also had them on this run at lights out for 15 min from 6 weeks in flower until just this last week when I put them on with the other lights.

I'm also playing with 450nm Blue lights from Grand Master led with their Tarantula Booster bars. Not sure how they'll work out but I like the reds I'll have to see how the blues go. I had them on for 2-3 weeks through the day with my other leds from 6 weeks until 10 weeks and I turned down my main leds to about 80% power.

Something worked, they are all pretty sparkly and should do the job.

The last of my plants are down. I pulled my own accidental creation from a BlackBerry Moonshine and a hermied (GreenPoint) Topanga Cookies. Not sure how it'll smoke but its rock hard and smells great. A little iffy on the bottom and I see what look like a few nanners although no seed as yet, Larf looks suspect but nothing hard and the few suspect spots I pulled were soft and I chewed on the to see texture and all soft green bud , no crunch or seed pod taste...the ole taste test....lol

All along I thought this was an Ice Cream cake cross until I pulled it out and saw it under different light. I recognize the buds and leaf color, all Blackberry Moonshine.
Anyways plants look great and all are now down and drying, dehumidifiers are off. I can clean up then hang my new light. for my next crop

A busy morning for me, got up early drove 30 min to Walmart to get MCT oil for my wifes gummies....MTHERFKERS stopped selling it???? I had to buy Coconut oil, not as good but she needs to make it today. Came home Decarbed my wifes weed and got it in the double boiler where it will cook about 4 hrs the strain and cool.

I hooked up the air lines, put tomato cages on to support and they'll help divide the plants and I topped them all. I hope to flip May 31 or earlier if they look ready, sooner the better but I want them to be on more food before I flip,they still haven't sucked up all of their first feed in the Ap's.

Plant her outside, watch her go.

I'm thinking on it but 5-6C and rain isn't a good start, 8c now...46f ish isn't good pot growing weather. I'll let her grow some leafage before I put her out in a nice warm well lit 3x3 first. I'll probably build a plastic pup tent for her.

I’ve lost two sunflower seedlings sitting in the window, others are doing okay but growing extremely slow. Out of the six I had to put outside only three under a cage are doing well, but again slow. The rest the rabbit(s) ate.

I put a greenhouse over the vegetable crates thinking I might be able to get an early start but Mother Nature trumped that play.

I’m going to lose more seedlings if I can’t get them outside soon.
