I've had an off start to my past few seed drops TBH with you. IDK man...seeds get more and more expensive and less and less reliable. Then there's all the trash stuff to sift thru so yeah there's gonna be some shit starts man. It sucks. Quality control is seriously lacking.
Good news bad news though...I've liquidated all of my GPS fems an as expected, lots of mutants, two hermies, 3/5 mutants but at least now I know and they're done.
Ethos and Eqilbrium have not been 100% for me and more like 60-75% germ rate which sucks on a pack of 5.
Fems are just giving me troubles really. Regulars are still doing very well but my gosh the fem scene is super hit and miss.
I want 12 plants but am probably going to drop 30 seeds to get them. That's over half being a waste of money and at these prices, an ez $100 pissed away.

But...like a moth to the flame I just restocked my fem supply ;smoke

Trying to nail down some issues that have been plaguing me in the carport tent. Really starting to think it's the lights being too strong after eliminating water and soil. I may be underestimating how strong the little ACI lights can be so I've turned it down to 20% and cut off the Ionbeams. There's no stretch so I know they're not lacking but they look beat down and pale so I'm thinking it's lights.
Dropped it to 20% and will see how they look tonight but am ready to drop more seeds if I've fucked these up.

Well here's some real-time bro- science...light at 20% and 8-10 inch away
20250721_090646.jpg
Other than the heat they're doing good at 10-14 days...

So just guessing....you could be on the right road with that little ACI bugger...IDK.

YEAH! these were fresh bought beans, it just sucks and there's not much to do about it except stop buying there shit I guess.

Is what it is...

Looks like science to me...bro ;smoke
Turned it down to 20% and I'm liking the response. Kinda surprised a light that small can pack that much punch

So far I’m liking those white grow bags a lot. I’m just planting them in the ground or larger pots as is. I cut the bag down to the soil level first but it’s been working great so far.

I kind of doubt they are biodegradable as they don’t seem to rot in the sun so far. But the new shopping bags seem to last up to three years of use before they become unusable so we’ll see.

Regardless I’ll be using the 190 that remain until gone. Already planning how I’ll use them for next years vegetable garden.

Need a better system for my cucumbers and watermelon too. Horizontal screen/mesh is okay but I think vertical might be a worth while option.

Yep I don't mind the heat but others do so that's why the crowds thin out in July and August out there.

The best deals really on everything will be downtown on Freemont. Most casinos in that area are still pouring the freebies and offering bottled beer for free and often. If you're not playing then $3 beer and $4 mixed drinks. Happy hours can have beer as low as 50 cents on Freemont.
That's probably why there so many passed out drunks in that area but yeah man you can get hammered on Freemont for less than $20.




I'm leaning the same way but with 3 and no more than 4 RC's. I think 3 is the sweet spot.
Yeah SVG is up to 27 but was at 32 last week. Two wins and still way below the cut line so yeah no matter how they spin it, he's terrible on ovals and has never raced his way into a good finish but got them out of attrition.
On the other side, if the playoffs started this month he's taking a spot from the 8, 43, or 2 and I can't really say any of those cars have done much better than the 88 this year.
If the entire field was better I think it would be a greater issue other than KFB getting some hurt feelings like Buescher last year crying about Burton getting in.
But those 5-7 guys at the top with a legit shot at the cup aint getting taken out by the guy at or below the cut line and definitely not a rc ace..

I missed a ton of points my first two seasons collecting. All I really wanted was some merch but then last season I saw they had garage experiences at COTA and also made it to where you could use this seasons points on a race next season after they update the catalog later on so that put me on a mission to get every point I can to see if it's possible to get that many for an experience.
I was super skeptical but now I'm starting to see yeah it's hard and you have to do almost everything but it's possible.
I'm giving it my all this year because IDK if I can do it again and if I get that garage experience, may not want to collect again like this other than casually.
Been a damn good month of July so far though

Still waiting on the catalog to update but I'm thinking that won't happen until the 2026 schedule comes out. Maybe late August/early September?
Then we get until December 31st to cash them in and I think between the last race and Dec31 there were a few hundred points to be had for various things in there so I'm hoping I'm at or very near 15000 by the time Phoenix gets here.



Welp, tomorrow I take that next step towards being an old man and will go in for an eye exam and get some prescription glasses made.
It's time. Been using readers and relying on them too much so gonna go ahead and address the peepers like I did my ears.
Kinda getting the 50,000 mile overhaul so I can keep up with these damn kids at least one more season! I know I've got about 5 more before retirement but for now it's one season at a time.

Weird Summer. I'll have had the biggest watermelon in my life and the smallest thanks to this little black diamond on the vine if the squirrels don't get to it.
Doesn't seem to wanna get bigger than a baseball.

My tomatoes want to clones themselves as they crash out. So there's that

New crop on the way. Some are no-gos.
IDK what they are. I just know they stink when they bloom

It bugs me so much that I can grow sativas but I can't grow Vietnamese sativas? WTF is up with that???

Freaks are doing well. They like rain! Thinking about getting out the ol clone machine and having at it

My Sugar Baby watermelon are in the baseball size as well. Only 4 or 5 of them though. The green house attachment helped keep birds and weather from damaging the vegetables but also seems to keep pollinators away. Considering removing it for the rest of the season.

My Roma and beefsteak tomatoes are starting to get bigger but it was a slow start. Cherry tomatoes haven’t started yet.

All if the tomato plants are growing shorter and more bush like this year. Nothing like the last two years. All from seeds I made/saved so must be the effects of this years weather. 🤷‍♂️

I would go with the Jeep only because I'm considering buying one, but for fun absolutely the Mustang! (Or maybe the beamer convertible) I haven't driven a standard in decades but I've owned quite a few of them in the past

I’ve owned both. Mustangs are fun but in a desert environment I’d have to go Jeep. I had a hard top of remove each summer and take off the doors.

Stuck in traffic? No problem. Pop it in 4WD and over the median and head the other way.

Just leave the windshield up. Down is fun off-roading but you eat bugs on the highway. 🤣

I've googled cannabis dispos and there's one right across the street from where we'll be in Laughlin open 24/7 on the main street through town. I've seen the ads on a few web sites but I've not seen an ad for anything over 1 gram, lots below .8g seems popular. I've seen some of the the Stiizy vapes I'll look for them when I get there. I\ll also need some gummy's for my wife as sleep aids, otherwise she's restless and up peeing 2-3-4 times. 2 of her home made gummy's and she sleeps great and she's all fun and giggly at bed time...
