Stoney's Luv Shack

You're pretty badass, in my book. Loves your threads and I learn a lot here.

Seems like some people don't like the guy, but the dude from BAS opened my eyes to that now obvious move where you snip a sample and bring it to the camera instead of taking the camera to the plant. This will save me a lot of frustration trying to hold the scope steady outdoors until the wind stops. Indoors I rigged a piece of bamboo onto a camera stand like a small boom. That worked pretty good for me.

appreciate the kind words sir!!

we're still reading trics here, and been snipping a tiny bit just from under the first leaves for now. once i see more consistent cloudy i'll start looking down the plant... getting much closer though!!!!!!

Are we reading the same book!?

Haha I kid.. Stoney's the man, man.

you can read?!?! haha here i thought you were just looking at the pics!!! hahahaha

Wait wait… don’t drag me into this. 😳

I was just sharing old BBS hex codes for colours. 00FF00 is the lime green I use.

I also remember a trick to use the number pad on most keyboards to enter ASCII codes. Useful for making screens and cheesy graphics. 🤣

oh you're already in it now!!! hahaha if anything shows up pink your now on the hook!! hahahahaha J/K..

The only Alt-code I know is ALT0176 for the degrees symbol.. use that one almost every day on my logs at work.

that one and i use 0162 often..

Do you do anything to try and hasten ripening like cold dark periods or drought? Be curious to see what happens with trichs on a bud under scope after cutting off.

Saw this pic today and tripped out on it...You see any two headed trichs yet?

look at that crazy alien tric!!!!!!!!!!!!!! man now if a breeder could isolate that gene, now thats breeding!!!!!!

i've been making it cooler and cooler for the past couple weeks, mostly just because it's very easy to do. i haven't had to use the exhaust fan once this grow. the doors are slightly cracked and i just keep cracking them open a little more every few days.. nothing super noteworthy really. it gets up to about 78° and sown to 60° at night. the rh is super low around 30%,, this really is the A to B run i've been wanting for a few tries now man. this one has been a lot of fun and really right down the fairway the entire time!!

i fed them tea again a couple days ago, they're still drinking pretty heavy but i have been letting them dry a little more and more each watering. you can see the past week of ecowitt, i've been letting them get dryer than ever before, the graph is bottoming out on the numbers..,

we got about the same about today, it's still coming down now so i haven't plowed yet... chickens actually came out yesterday and hung out in the one spot with no snow, they didn't even wanna come out today. they looked out the door and said nah... hahaha

i'm being slightly nagged to go for an atv ride.. they've declared it snow emergency here so we can legally ride on the roads with off road vehicles!! she doesn't need to twist my arm very far to get me to go.. hell the only thing better than eating donuts is doing them!!!!!!

I humbly present to you, the 2026 starting QB for the LV Raiders


That is if they don't fuck up the easiest decision ever in the draft :cool:
Helluva game last night and Mendoza showed everything he needed to show to lock up that #1 pick and then some. Unless somebody is willing to give up the rest of their #1s and #2 for this decade, he's the guy!
 
Smart hens :cool:
Haven't got to freezing here yet but got close last night. Maybe next week we drop a few below freezing.
Only one thing left for you to do with all that.....

i heard reports of some places in texas with snow!!!! we're gonna get hammered on sunday.. we got three plow trucks and a backhoe ready to go up here!!!!!! the backhoe does the work of like 3 or 4 plows at once so it can be a life saver like you wouldn't believe. i'm about as prepared as i can be i guess!!

.

got the half price knock off 3DXL chamber the other day... hands down the best knockoff atomizer i've ever used!!!!!! software recognizes it and it heats up in the same amount of time!!! winner winner if you ask me!!! i already ordered a second one!!

the raiders need to shit or get off the pot here!!! what are they waiting for?!?! two good options already signed with other teams and they haven't made a single move yet!!! C'MON!!!!

as far as i know they have interviewed 14 coaches so far. only two have had second interviews so far, Ejiro Evero and Jesse Minter both met twice with the team so far. but it's been since like tuesday since i heard any news.. c'mon!!!

good thing we get some racing action next weekend already!!!!!! all the nascar drivers fizzled out in the chili bowl this year so i'm looking forward to bowman gray!!!

.
i still have not harvested a single bud yet... i'm pretty sure i'm going to take down the two roswell code this weekend... shes just pollinating everything anyway. got that fade going on.....

i plan to harvest just those two plants and then the fruity pebbles is next, there's three of them and when i take those out i'll lift the net off and rearrange the last four plants to finish up..

i'll get some pics up this weekend.

keep warm!!!
 
Well... I'll allow time to see whether this hydro phase sticks or he returns to Mother Earth before passing final judgement.

oh this was the biggest mistake since becoming a pot snob!!! hahaha i've created a monster and now i can't give up on either... everything in my brain tells me to bail on the hydro and take back my veg cabinet!! haha my heart won't let it happen... even a shitty growing hydro is still faster than soil!! hahaha my brain will think differently about it in a few weeks when i flip to flower!!! hahaha funny how buds just make it all better!!! haha

i think the great white shark is gonna be great for scrog!! imagine a table full of these!!!!

cashed in all my lucky points tonight... i tell everyone all the time, start your geny's!! i just ran mine like a month ago and everything seem fine. so today it was last on my list of things to get ready for the storm. fired it up and it wouldn't stay runnin!! ok with ether so i knew it had to be a fuel/carb issue... took the carb off and soaked it in cleaner/high test and blew out all the ports with my airgun and did that a few times till i could see fuel atomizing out of it.. slapped it back on and it fired up quicker than ever!!!!

lucky lucky lucky!!!!!!!!!

now i'm ready!!

Man....You may like what you see here!!! They're $100 but here's a 3DXL in Larson blue!
There's also a burnt orange I'm liking a ton but will probably get something a little more trippy for my piece.
I'll order one from there soon so if you wanna wait until I can verify if they're legit and the paint doesn't do anything negative...
Only thing about buying off there is it's thru the app. You can see it on the web but no purchase portal. When a piece arrives, you have to video the unboxing in case there's an issue. I got a great deal on two proxy chambers and the peak already. One of those chambers is next on my want list.

I like both. At the same time. If DWC in compost tea was possible for more than a few hours I'd try it.
Might wanna try different types of hydro too since you picked liked the hardest fucker in the line up! Flood & drain & NFT are a lot more forgiving. Vertical NFT is fun too but for you it seems the next choice is obvious...

That's good to read! Phew moments are always the best. Mucho respecto for what Y'all have to deal with man.
So many times I sit here and think, just add a heater when you guys have cold grows but it's more than that when temps are that low.
I can't get my room over 77 with a space heater on high and lights at near max power!
IDK how you guys do it without having a fireplace in the grow space. IDK what to do with a cold grow room. It's...unnatural 🤪

those are really cool!!! i bet it would look even better without the cap!! i'd have to switch it up with a cool rock or something like Grump uses!!

i really enjoy having the two sides, and i always find a little extra joy when i find something i own that can be used for both sides.

tonight i need to water all the soil plants. they're the lowest they've been once again on the ecowitt. i'm just gonna go with water this time, i'm pretty lazy today. i also need to mix up more hydro top off tonight.

they're all thirsty!!!! crazy though the way those two look you'd think they were done drinking but they're chugging it down all pretty much equally.. got it nice and chilly down there for lights out!!

but would that ferris wheel be awesome!!!!!!! imagine that above my pond!!!!!

so far we're doing really well up here. snow storm moved out last night and now it's just gonna be frigid cold for a week. you learn to deal with it man. make it work for you instead of against you. the very same way you do with the heat... if we switched houses right now we both be in panic mode in the gardens!!!

i get in the high 80's and go oh shit i gotta get on this.. you get in the high 80's and check to see when the lights are coming on!!! hahaha

one thing i am proud of is since changing my venting around i am not using a single heater right now or this whole winter yet. i have a small heat mat and my aquarium heater and no air heater and also not letting any heat from the lights escape, every watt i'm using is now lighting the plants and adding a tiny bit of heat to the house. so tiny its unmeasurable proly, but it's still better than negative!!

i'm gonna take my extra heater down to my neighbors house tonight. the warehouse to get their furnace part was closed today. i bet they're so worried and not even enjoying the trip at all. i told them don't worry their plants are safe with me!!!!!! it's really all they really care about at this point, their son put antifreeze down the pipes so its all about the plants. can't smoke theirs though.. hahaha

That a banana tree?
People plant them in the ground here and they die back in Winter, I think around 40 degrees. Some come back and some don't.

you know it's cold out when even hot turds don't melt in!!!!! hahahahaha

Terp pearls for snow bong hits 😋

Starting on the 9th there's gonna be a daily 10 point fan reward code for NASCAR week on Wheel of Fortune. I think drivers will be on the show thru the week up to Daytona. Not sure how the codes will drop yet.

i'm pretty sure man, she has four of them. she's had them for years and she has one for each of her sons when they get houses big enough to have them. so she feels xtra responsible for the plants because they're for their three sons. they're a super kind family and i don't mind helping one bit.

breaker went out the other day and dropped to 61, the breaker wouldn't reset, it was cooked so thankfully i had one on my shelf so in like ten minutes we were back up and running. cruzin at 67° in there and it;s 13 outside right now... i'm actually impressed with how well those little heater are holding it.

it's possible the part for the furnace comes tonight so they may fix it tomorrow. they come home tomorrow night so either way i'm off watch duty after tomorrow!!!

when i was growing up i was told they were smart pills... so glad i was always smarter than the trick!!!!! i guess once ya eat em and say they taste like shit the parent says see you're getting smarter already. not cool gramps not cool!!!!!!!!

Good luck with the furnace part!
That does have to be one of the healthiest banana I've ever seen. Lush AF!
Most around here get beat down by the weather but the best are kept in pots. Our favorite TexMex restaurant has a ton of those and other tropic plants so going in it's like trying to go into a jungle space more than a restaurant.

I can't say cold will much of a problem around here much more. We'll be back in the 70s next week.
Workload got heavier this week and in a few weeks I'll be back to 7 day work weeks and combined with good weather, I just start falling behind on all the fun garden stuff and hobbies I wanna do.

What's with the plank and finish?

I'm just now getting my pool sheet finished and starting to think about fantasy. I don't think we can make picks for it yet.
It's Daytona so I'll probably go heavy on Ford since they seem to have the best team strategy in the draft.
Byron is an ez choice but dang a 3peat? It's possible. But it's possible he could end up on his roof too! He's done that before at Daytona and I have the diecast to prove it! 😋
COTA is coming up fast AF too and I gotta get squared away on that...My Cup tix should come thru Fan Rewards...I'm guessing they'll just be general admission. I've been holding out on the Saturday tix though and playing the long game on this so I can maybe also get into the garage.
COTA guy has called, emailed, and texted a few times regarding renewals and I've been ghosting him to push it closer to the deadline. Gonna see if I can maybe wait it out and get a personalized deal over the phone for a garage pass and not go thru ticketmaster and pay the full price. The $600 pass there is for 8 people. We'll just be two people so I wanna pay a two person price!
Not my first rodeo with these things so I'm hoping I can wait and get in at a discount because for them, any money is better than no money.

Man I didn't even know wheel of fortune was still on! And still, with those same two people! Like WTF? That shit was on when I was a kid and now I'm an old fuck and it's still on?

I had a cousin or two, maybe a friend when I was little who ate deer poop. Thought it was raisins. A real ;fafomoment for a kid.

Hundy is nice. Almost 2 hundy is nicer ;teez

I picked up an extra 63 from the fan shop. Over in the on sale section there's some cheap shit like stickers for less than $5. An order for that stuff is worth 63 points each month so for about $10/month during the season, I pick up 63 points each month.
I'm also gonna look up minimum donations to NASCAR foundation and see if something like a monthly $5 donation will get me 63 points a month.

IDK how this is gonna happen this weekend? I guess maybe get those sled dogs from Alaska to come pull the cars around the track??

wow man the saga continues.. they told me this morning that the furnace part wont get put in till monday!! they'll get home around 11 tonight.. i'll stop by and leave their light on, the motion light burned out a couple months ago and he never changed it. haha

she has the other three of those plants in a room just next to hers.. i am so careful going in there and sneaking through the leaves to feel the plugs on the outlets to make sure they're not warm.. i feel like i'm in a laser obstacle course in there!!! hahaha

man baseball season already? you seemed to have had a fun off season and got to do some fun stuff, not your normal travel but still sounded fun.. did you enjoy the off season?

What's with the plank and finish?

thats for a customer so i'm getting paid to do it.. they asked me a few months ago to hang a shelf in their garage, i said sure. what color? they said no color, just plain wood. no protectant.. i said okay. how high? he said this high and pointed to the wall, i said okay! a month later he pays me to take it back down and then stain it and put it back up!!!! hahaha

fast forward a couple months and he says hey, my wife can't reach that shelf. can you make me another one just like it and hang it on the other side lower?.. $$$$$$ hahahahaha


sanded it and stained it last night, i'll poly tonight!!!

I'm just now getting my pool sheet finished and starting to think about fantasy. I don't think we can make picks for it yet.

i have not started!!!!! to be honest i'm gonna slightly modify last years... i mean hey, we're working off a champion sheet here!!!!!!! hahahahaha

i think it said feb 10th for the fantasy or something...

i might swap the 24 for the 88 and prolly throw in the 5 for good juju!!!!!! hahahaha maybe use Kes instead of the 22... idk, i think i was just sht ass lucky getting it last year and i almost wish i didn't even know about the bonus!! hehehe

hell yeah its still on... i think ryan seacrest is the host now, the american idol host.. new idol just started last week... we watch that, don't vote but watch..

we only tolerate a few game shows.. wheel is one, family feud, and hollywood squares is about it.

bro you should check out general hospital if you think wheel is old.. they have like almost fourteen thousand episode over sixty years of boring ass tv!!!!!! hell they were on tv before remote controls were invented!!!!!!!

I had a cousin or two, maybe a friend when I was little who ate deer poop. Thought it was raisins. A real ;fafomoment for a kid.
