We don’t have the cherry tomatoes turning red yet. Only one or two from another I don’t recall the strain.

We get between 4-6 cucumbers a week now. Depends how big we’re going for. Too big and the seeds become an issue.

 

[Stoneyluv]

It’s easy man..you will shit it in.i reckon once you start it gonna b hard for you to stop.you will b the nxt Johnny apple seed spreading seeds across the countryside lol.

open the car window and sprinkle them all the way to town!!! hahaha

like Bandit said it could be a useful tool in toolbox for sure. this weekend i want to put together a veg area and start some more plants.

We don’t have the cherry tomatoes turning red yet. Only one or two from another I don’t recall the strain.

We get between 4-6 cucumbers a week now. Depends how big we’re going for. Too big and the seeds become an issue.

we got maybe 15 or 20 cherrys so far but most of them are still green yet. but man are they great tasting!! way better and bigger than anything in store right now!!

my problem with the cukes is i don't always see them till they're huge, and then some i don't even see till they turn yellow!! hahaha chickens love those!! i split them in half and they hollow em out till there are holes in them!!! so if my chickens eat it i don't always consider it waste, less i have to buy!

i think i might be pregnant... made more last night..



i canned them long term this time... a quart of chips and a quart of spears.. i also made a pint of quick fridge style with the left over chips..



and when i can them i add a little pickle crisp to it because i like them to stay crunchy. and since nascar made yesterday kyle busch day because he drove the 8 and the 18.. 8/18..



and then there was one.... hahahaha next up i wanna try my hand at some dill relish!!!!!

 

[Stoneyluv]

racing in the rain today!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! uhhhhhh........

 

[Bandit420]

REGULARSEASONFINALE is the 10 point code for August
Man, what a grind from 8K to 9K! Feels like I'm stuck on 8500 for weeks now.

Seems like the field is set aside from maybe Preece or Kez taking SVG's spot. SVG seems vulnerable there since Bubba will have Toyota help and the Fords are coming together.
SVG is better than half the filed on ovals already but not too sure about super speedways

Nice work on the pickles!!! TG34 approved!!!

 

[Stoneyluv]

ah thanks man... another ten!!! i hear ya bro it feels like a snail pace all of a sudden.. i thought maybe we'd get a 25 steak on fantasy last week but nope.. and only two check ins each week is a drag... time for these teams to get back to work!!!!!

i feel like yesterday was the last regular season race where you had a chance to perform to get points. i really liked the extra horsepower, seems like nascar is finally catching on that race cars need big engines!!!!
but next week is daytona and really a crap shoot and gamble, and those guys on the bubble won't be able to ride anything out safely.. i predict a crazy finish saturday night with at least one overtime!!!!! it will be boring boring boring and then wham!!!! all kinds of excitement!!!! like a shitty movie with a great ending!! hahahaha

so here's my beef with my local grocery store.. they sell multiple foods with grillo pickles in them but they don't sell the pickle brand itself!!!
mine have been pretty dang good though... last week i was accused of being pregnant.. for lunch i had a pint of pickles and a fork!! hahaha
gotta make more soon, down to a jar and a half!!

.

i'm still working out the details yet but we're back in black baby!!!!!!



it's gonna need some more mods i think but i figure no matter what happens i can always still use it the way i was in the past if i ever go back to sip, and that would be my plan b if vegging in hydro doesn't pan out.
i might raise the deck up a couple inches to make it taller

for the first victim... ooops i mean try, i have this trop cherry still kickin it.. about two weeks old now. just lucas racing and hygrozyme. same recipe as i'm using in the other system.



i picked up a cheap ph monitor for ease of mind really... the probe looks like a green vibrator!!! hahaha the ph seemed accurate right out of the box but the ec is off by a bunch. theres a calibration but i haven't messed with it at all.. got it mainly for the ph anyway. i'll put it in the manifold when i set it all up. it has wifi and an app.. apple and droid.. landscape and portrait!!! i saw the one you recently bought, i chose this different one on purpose so we can compare two different cheapos..



it's really fun building!!!! i wish i could just travel around from house to house just building grow rooms!!!

I like how hydro and technology work together and we get little insight that soil pretty much hides from us unless you're some sort of plant whisperer.

It may actually be for the best the grocery store doesn't have the Grillos Pickles.
HEB price gouges here so I only buy them at Costco where I get a large plastic jar for $6 while HEB sells a half size for $8 but keeps it next to the Boars Head deli and other expensive stuff. Costco has always treated it like just another cold pickle product and never jacked up the pricing.

As I scrolled the paint schemes I was all same same same nothing special, kinda ugly really, that's okay, then BOOM!
#34 on the door but #1 in my heart, The Hot Pickle Car is on track this weekend!!!!



IDK what it is about that scheme but I love me some green, orange, and red flames on a race car. Seems to make my rc a little faster too!


I sent in a request for 150 points and got it!!! Actually got 188 for the tier bonus!
It was over the newsletter. I saw I didn't have the badge so figured I must not have the points either even though I signed up. About an hour later I got an email and 188 so now I'm at 8792.
Did some calculations and the road to 15K is there for me as long as I don't miss anything and make some more merch buys. It looked a few hundred short but I should be able to get that thru trivia and fantasy each week.
I haven't done any of the auctions of raffles. Just straight collecting to get that 15 and a free garage experience then next year I'll save again and wave the green flag for qualifying at COTA 2028. That would be nuts and I wonder if I would get to keep the flag.
But I want that garage experience so damn bad I can taste it. $600 value on that fucker and I've come so close to buying it but didn't because I wanted this challenge to get it.

EDIT: BTW, can you log into Tinkercad?
I haven't been able to for days and just ended up creating a new account and now I'm back in.

i'm surprised there is not more special wraps this race... last regular season, night race!!! the 34 is definitely the best looking one!!! the 7 and 1 car look cool too..

i need to look and see if nascar rewards has those keychains that they had last year. i got one and then liked it and there were no more when i went back. i'd like to get four or five more of those!!! was thinking of buying some now. i'm not really saving for anything specific at the moment.

i haven't been to tinkercad in a couple weeks now and just logged in right now... you must not be the only one man, they have an announcement header on the top of the page.. i'd try that account again man.

my manifold was leaking water... two spots even.. i'm not about to start this new sertup off on a leaky base... maybe a younger me would tackle it but this time i threw a few bucks at it and made something way better than the little manifold.

so... plan B... and i ani't talkin bout the pregnancy pill either!!!!



cut down my old peg leg table i made a while back and made this shelf, i can still fit my cloner and a couple plants on the floor in front if i want and use under the new shelf for cloning and germinating.

still working out the deets but so far i really like this plan!! tonight i'm gonna work on the water levels and volumes and get some air bubbling.. . plants will be in it over the weekend!!!

you know it man... nobody is gonna make it for me!!! hahaha

.

just put on a couple ports for drain/fill/ph sample.. small valves and the quick attach hose fittings i have on every single hose and fitting i own so why not these too!!! anybody that has never seen or used these type of garden hose fittings i highly suggest you buy a set, they'll change your life!!!!!



i plan to drain and fill from that same connection. to fill i'll plug my pump into it...



and to drain i make the shelf just the right height to fit a bucket under..



just doing a leak test now... so far so good!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! no leaky leaky!!!



this tropicana cherry can't wait to get in there!!!!!! i'll prolly even wash off the dirty freak and put her in there too!!!!!!



i see some sprouts popping out of that VG too!!!!! ^^^

ahhhhhh yeah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Stoneyluv]

i'll be rooting for the 2 car tonight..... among others,,,

 

[Stoneyluv]

i loaded em all in there!!!!

the Tropicana Cherry, the Fruity Freak, and all seven seedlings...









went undefeated on VG this round..



and there is no doubt that my little cloner can grow some seedlings into nice small plants...

Man you make me miss my old diy cloner!

Was always funny, when i tried to give the clones away no one needed them, then when i didn't have any everyone asked me, funny world lol

thats how it always works man!!!!! for a trip down memory lane with the hair band!!!! hahaha

everything seems to be working fine after the first day... i may add a tee and another airstone in each tub to even it out a little...

what do you guys think? ... add another or good enough? .. i feel it's enough but i wish it was more even..



using this right now.. it's pretty old, it's been running for about three years nonstop now outside under a bucket at my pond. the airline had dry rotted off anyway and it was doing nothing out there so i repurposed it. we'll see.



each tub holds about eight gallons when the water level is up at the cup bottoms.. i seriously doubt i need to even have it that high even right now. the entire inside of the tub is saturated including all the taproots. the tubs hold about five gallons each with an air gap.

the only one not happy is the fruity freak, and i'm not surprised. she must feel like she's drowning right now.. once she grows her gills she'll be fine!!! i might move her to where the stronger bubbles are right now. i was reserving those spots before for the shorter tap roots but like i said i don't think it matters if they touch water or not..

fun to try though for sure!!!! it's nice to have something growing in that cabinet again!!! tent is now empty and dark. i'm going to use it for my harvest in a couple weeks i think!!

.
.

almost racing time!!!!! OOHHH yeah!!! night race tonight!!!!!!!!!!!!!! DAYTONA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! woooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!

i'm about to try and turn the Coca Cola zero 400 into the coke 420 as i get ramped up!!!!!!!!!!!!! i should put the coke in the bong!!! haha

 

[Stoneyluv]

i decided i wanted to keep that air pump for my pond, it's a little hot and loud anyway.. so i found one on a lightning deal for $30 a little smaller and quieter...



also added an extra air stone to each tub.. i was a bit in doubt before so... when in doubt, air it out!!!



went to hook it up and realized i didn't have any 3/16 air tees... so when without, print em out!!! ... i'm a real poet tonight!!! hahahaha

3D printer to the rescue yet once again!!!!!

 

[Zen_seeker]

open the car window and sprinkle them all the way to town!!! hahaha

like Bandit said it could be a useful tool in toolbox for sure. this weekend i want to put together a veg area and start some more plants.



we got maybe 15 or 20 cherrys so far but most of them are still green yet. but man are they great tasting!! way better and bigger than anything in store right now!!

Save one of the yellow cucumbers for the seeds. That will be next years seed stock. (Do it for one of each vegetable.)

I’ll be making more pickles as we are getting buried in cucumbers. We like them but just can’t eat them fast enough.

 

[Bandit420]

Nice topper on that Peak dude!
Yeah man the freaks are just different and very ez to upset with change. They seem to like to settle in and not be disturbed much. Autoflowers can be like that too sometimes but I think Freakshow is even a little more ez to upset early. I held my breath and crossed my fingers when you stuck it in the tote for sure.

I enjoyed Daytona so much man. Didn't watch it live and probably finished around 2am Sunday morning after work.
I'm glad I have it on DVR because I gotta roll back and get screenshots of the pickle car and 19 racing each other and drafting each other too. And seeing the pickle car even lead a few laps under the lights was a thing of beauty.
I've also enjoyed all the first time winners this year. First win for #60 since 1950!!! Dude hasn't won in so long he forgot how to do a burnout. Loved the emotion of that team. I remember him at SHR and thinking nobody deserves a win for the work he puts in more than Preece. After the barrel roll too?! That was special to see and so happy for him.

Well I placed my order to GLG but Brisco got left out again and so did the Bodhi haze.
I went with a hunter pack on the SSDD. Instead of just a 10 pack. I got a 30 seed pack for $30 more. Safe to say SSDD will be locked down here and will never escape again.
For the other I went with another unknown but like I said, when breeders are willing to compete, they get a shot in my room so I'm welcoming Upstate Organics to The Hideout.
I'm a sucker for that banana and moonshine stuff

i'd have to fight my chickens for a yella one!!!!! hahaha i collected seeds from the very first and a large one already.

so you like em now? i know you said you went with too much salt, did you try again? i ate the ones i had up to the 18th.. i have two jars i didn't open yet from the 24th i think.. and i just made a big jar the other day. eventually i'll get burned out on them.

ahhhh yeah!!!! look at that ^^^

man it's been so long since i smoked i it.. i barely remember it itself.. i think you were the one who gave me the first seeds of it.. i remember the moment when i first smoked it, i was happy... then i kicked myself for not cloning it, i was mad... then i bought two packs with hope to have it again and they were all males, i was sad!!! hahaha thats the story i remember!!

.

i don't have anything nice to say about daytona so i wont say anything at all...

.

man that fruity freak got flat and wide when she was sad,, in a way i'm glad that i got to see it because i now know what an unhappy and struggling freak looks like.
she getting better though, back to perky.. uhh leaves? is that what ya call these things?

looks like something i should put on food..

Probably just transplant shock more than anything from the sounds of it.
I'd up her feed her yes and also get her started on calmag. Like lucas +calmag would be my play.

The good ones always stand out and what I remember most about SSDD was a lemon cheesecake heavy on sweet creme and fire potency. Like OG Kush but creamy.

I hear ya about Daytona. I think any fan of a Chevy team is feeling that way this whole season. Reminds me a little of Alabama football and when their run was over.

Say, you ever isolate your bleached tops and extract them by themselves?
I have enough bleached peach I can load up a couple runs and see if I can make albino rosin

yeah and i also didn't mention i trimmed the roots off the bottom a little on both the freak and the cherry... i took way more off the trop cherry..

thinking of pinching off the new seedlngs already too.. my first sativa leaner in a long time..



somehow my clock was off on the flower side.. no clue how but it was two hours fast.. kinda glad i just went down for those photos cuz i would have never noticed it.. i guess the fruity ain't the only freaky going on here!!!!!!!

.

man an all bleached squish!!!!!! that would be badass!!! bleached tips on un-bleached paper!!!!! hahaha
i think the placebo effect would make me higher just knowing about it!!!!!

i don't why but for some reason i think it would still be honey color...

.

just got back from my doctor visit... stoney was bad... i gotta change meds and add a new one.. my thyroid is all out of whack still and now even worse, i didn't lose any weight at all still at 203, blood pressure was still on the higher side, at least my blood sugar was good and my diabetes is still in control. i got the colon guard poop kit for homework... and i have to go back in like four months already for a checkup!!!

not what i was hoping for at all..

i got the "my eyes are bigger than my stomach" problem... all starts at the grocery store.. i buy too much, make too much so it don't go bad, then eat too much so it doesn't get wasted... i'm my own fault and nobody else!!!!!

i'm pretty decent with the salt.. we don't eat out much or do take out at all.. almost every single number that came back was right down the fairway... then i get to the thyroid at the end.. i've been on meds for it for a few years now but now it's being doubled..



and the doctor told me last time if my blood pressure wasn't better this time he was gonna put me on meds so now there's another pill... getting older is great!!!! (sarcasm)

just got back from my doctor visit... stoney was bad... i gotta change meds and add a new one.. my thyroid is all out of whack still and now even worse, i didn't lose any weight at all still at 203, blood pressure was still on the higher side, at least my blood sugar was good and my diabetes is still in control. i got the colon guard poop kit for homework... and i have to go back in like four months already for a checkup!!!

not what i was hoping for at all..

I wonder if the time change is what got your timer too. IDK what happened with me and mine but that's what I'm pointing to and just misread it thinking the dark time was the light time and light time was dark.

I was thinking it would still be honey too but every now and then purple pigment will get into mine so I was wondering if any pigment would be clear.

Well you know I'm not a fan of all the check engine lights that come on after 50. Best of luck and may you have the will power to fight off those bad cravings!
I'm surprised I've avoided some major issues but thru everything I think my heart was taking the punishment for all other organs.
We eat a lot of fish so I think that probably helps me with the thyroid and I've cut my caffeine by tons.
Now it makes sense with the sugary processed foods and how you react to them. Man that sucks.

IDK if it's a good option but I really like a lot of the non dairy frozen desserts. They're an option for me based on cholesterol alone and some are even better than ice cream. It's hippie vegan ice cream and all that but I can honestly say after eating some I did not crave tofu or turn gay so I'm pretty sure they're okay to eat.
Processed foods are a a no-go for me too but it's super hard to avoid them. Even foods I don't think are processed are! Freakin mine field at the grocery store.

I'm on Entresto, Carvedilol, & Crestor. 2 for heart and 1 for cholesterol. I was on 2 more that were heart related as well but my diet and quit drinking booze of any kind got me off those.
The big issue I have now is hemoglobin being high from smoking weed a lot and usually being dehydrated. Like I cannot ever drink enough water even though I drink a ton of water every day.
I hit a wall on weight too but I'm much heavier at 230, 6' tall. Lots of it's fat left over from drinking that hard to shed. Dropped 40 and hit a wall but I think some of the fat has turned to muscle so the weight is still high and still lots of fat on my belly and love handles has to come off. I think 205-210 is my fightin' weight lol.

The colon stuff yeah we talked about that and maybe one of those things that needs to be talked about more and encouraged especially in a male dominated hobby like growing weed.
It sucks and humiliating but all it takes is to think about the people you love around you and it's an ez thing to do. No shame at all in doing things like this for those you love.
I'm getting the scope in 2 weeks.
The Exit only sign will be removed from my bun and Dr Jelly Finger and her alien probe of death are gonna knock me the fuck out like Deebo and have at me. I'll fast and take a laxative before but after all that and I come out of it....I'm celebrating with some softshell crab sammies, banana slit cake, and bong hits so I keep my eye on that prize and the procedure is just a formality to get the prize.

Here's one for ya...If you get this for your bday, you're an old fucker!



Yeah those aint nutes and sure as fuck aint a bloom booster!

I got some Lionel Richie ready to go cuz I'll be pooping All Night Long

Man sometimes that cleansing makes you feel good by itself the next day, at least a few pounds lighter lol

Having Crohn's i can't count how many times I've had to do some cleansing for colonoscopies. They say poop until it's clear water they told me... Fuck that's a lot of toilet paper lol

Idk about thyroid stuff, what can you do to help that outside of the medicine?

i'm not sure man, i haven't had the time to look into it.. for years it was fine.. i was always on a 75mg pill for it.. wasn't really mg but whatever they measure it in it was 75. now he put me on the 88,, we're about to see some serious shit!!!!

I wonder if the time change is what got your timer too. IDK what happened with me and mine but that's what I'm pointing to and just misread it thinking the dark time was the light time and light time was dark.

after thinking about it i recently had two really funky power outages a few days ago.. tonight i need to test it and make sure it;s not resetting the clock every time it powers off like when the battery was shot in the past... i'll check it out tonight and make sure nothing is funky at all.. if its not then it doesn't explain it at all.. it's so close to the end of harvest so i'm hoping it doesn't really do anything to the plants.

I was thinking it would still be honey too but every now and then purple pigment will get into mine so I was wondering if any pigment would be clear.

thats true i have seen some pinks and purples already and the buds wern't purple at all... i have like a dozen tips that are bleached right now but i don't think its enough for a press. i can try though!!!

about the only process food i still eat on the regular is potato chips... i'd like to try and cut those out.. at least reduce a bunch. i mean sure once a year i'll have a bag of doritos or boxed mac n cheese.. but very rare and only on occasion. 99% of my meals come from me making it but those dang chips are addictive.

my doctor tells me that my thyroid off is affecting my weight loss and is probably the reason i stopped seeing results from my diet. i thought maybe i just hit the basement and there was no more room for loss with that particular no carb diet.. turns out maybe it's my system all wonky.. i'm starting the new dosage today..

it is tough to shop healthy when you weren't brought up that way. like ya say minefields everywhere!!! i do miss cheesesteaks though man.. been well over a year now i think. kinda like you and brisky's!!!

i just got put on Losartan potassium 50mg.. we have a home bp machine so i told my doctor that i would start checking mine regularly. it uploads to my phone and i can export a file to my doctor to look at. i gotta go back in four months already.
