A Turkey In The Hay 🦃

I wish I had a better picture cuz I'm doubting myself too 🤯 even though I saw it clearly with a 30X Loop before I decided to start the fifth seed! I don't know how to explain this? Oh well moving forward, when the fifth one is up I'll put them in the tent under 250watt MH

Almost looks like it could be a bit of soil... maybe.

I did not really think of dirt at first. :unsure:
I thought maybe a sac like wrapping under shell in the seed~!
When I searched seed parts I found no such thing.
Maybe just dirt...

My guess is that you're right. I thought it might be a little dark for that, but idk. Whatever it is did us a favor. Now we get to watch @Beachwalker grow 5 instead of 4. Might be more work for him, but it'll add to our viewing pleasure 🛋️🥔
 
So yesterday was quite a day, started out quiet enough with a bunch of baby deer in the yard just after dawn. Then it went downhill fast 🤣

Not sure how to explain it but I only got one bee sting out of it so I'm going to consider it a win! 🏆

Mystery solved ...probably

I thought it was the sack, I've taken a lot of them off with tweezers but it was the leaf itself.

I noticed the 5th seedling had a brown tinge to its first set of leafs too

So what I think happened to plant number four was it also had this brown tinge to the first set of leaves, and because it was balled up in a shell for a couple of days to my eye it appeared as a crumpled dead leaf

That's my story and I'm sticking to it! 😂🤣😂
 
I can't find the green point thread in search? I'd like to post this in the Greenpoint thread but I'll say it here for now.

I owe Gu an apology, setting up for this next run I went in the tent and closed it up and I found a tiny light leak up top which could explain why two out of the last three strains I grew had seeds, including his onyx crush.

This would also explain a few seeds I found in the Captain Redbeard Platinum Kush.

I did this test when I set the tent up too, but I didn't notice the leak then, but this time because I suspected something was up I was looking for it, and damned if I didn't find it

We got something funky going on with our server we think.
Seems some of our history is not showing up when I just checked.
Even as a mod it is showing both you and I have no existing threads created~!
Hopefully we get this sorted out sooner than later.
Nice on finding a leak. Hope it helps.

Light leaks causing hermies is myth. Urban legend spread on the interweb and people bought in. Test after test has been done with light poisoning and stress and couldn't get a genetically stable plant to hermie no matter how hard we tried in a effort to feminize without colloidal silver.

Hermies are genetic and more abundant than ever today due to feminizing and repeatedly crossing the same hermie prone genetics. Today's popular hybrids are more prone to hermie than ever before.
You can grow his stuff side by side with other breeders with stable lines in the same space and only his stuff will hermie or be full on male.
His "grower error" schtick is to cause doubt in skills and throw blame to the growers.

I found his thread in the introductions

Greenpoint Seeds

I'm super excited to be all set up at the new farm in Ocala, Florida. We are licensed to grow just seed here, but we'll certainly have our hands full. I've been at it since February, upgrading the greenhouse and setting up the pampered outdoor area. It's really a huge step in the right direction...

Okay that would explain the search issue, thanks

Disagree. Both light leaks and genetics cause Hermes imo. Thanks for the link

I tend to believe that genetics are the largest contributor to herms.
I have no herms since restarting growing 4 years ago.

Agree, probably the largest contributor, however there are other causes of Hermes

Pipe carver just had a seeded crop because of a light issue and so did chemistry

I had a whole tent of 9 Gorilla Glue hermy because of high heat once, it doesn't take much in my opinion, particularly with some strains.
 
Greenhouse Seeds White Rhino 8/25/25

Tent is ready to go, once I make sure the timer is set correctly to 18/6 they'll be going under 250watt MH at 4:00 p.m. today.

For legal purposes: in this state were allowed I believe it's 10 immature plants and three mature plants, to observe this requirement only the three strongest immature plants will go into flowering.

Edit: but don't tell them I called them immature because they're sensitive!🤣
 
Greenhouse Seeds White Rhino 8/26/25

Plants switched from 24 hours of light under the starter lights to 18 / 6 under the halide;

10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. dark period (I forget shit 🤔)

These plants will be flipped no later than October 15th for a Christmas Harvest

Planning on two toppings, then flowering shortly afterwards
 
This is so me! I just threw a bunch out Tuesday, took me all summer to work up to it! Going to keep this here so I remember this lesson 🤦🏻

Was out between downpours getting some basil and oregano for the meatballs when I remembered the rain gauge, I don't think there's been anything in it since mid May 😕

We got this in the last 36 hours ! Some of my neighbors closer to town haven't had water in their wells for weeks, so this is great!20250830_064129.jpg
 
I drove through four flocks of turkeys today, although I think the last flock was the same one I drove through going to the market and then again coming home. I usually drive thru turkeys once a month if that, so it was unusual

Then when I got home my road was full of deer, but I got to turn in my driveway before I had to deal with them

Last night at 1:45 a.m. I noticed a car stopped in front of the house and then all of a sudden an attractive young woman dressed well gets out & walks down my driveway, so I get to a back window and say "can I help you?"

She says "I'm looking for a porcupine", I told her I'm aware of the porcupine, it lives around here somewhere. I'm still not sure if they hit the porcupine or what cuz I think there was some alcohol involved, but I got the gist of it, so I think maybe they hit it 😕

Good News! The porcupine not only didn't get hit by a car last night but apparently has a boyfriend 💕 🤣

sorry for the poor quality of the picture, they were walking into the backyard, this is all I could get
 
[Professor Farnsworth enters the room and says] Good News!

The porcupine not only didn't get hit by a car last night but apparently has a boyfriend 💕 🤣

I got to observe the small one up close right under the window for a while, the quills are in both a circular and grid pattern, easy to see why other animals don't bother them much, at least not twice

This can't be just my life, cant be 🤦🏻

Had such a mess at the sink with the mug brush, the squeegee, sponges, etc. all over the place

What I was doing wasn't working, I needed a change so yesterday afternoon a new sink caddy came from Amazon

Worked great, everything fit, everything's great...

Then this morning I turn the faucet on and it sprays me straight in the chest, the flexi nozzle thing blew out at the swivel !! 😂🤣😂

I need coffee...

Ended up Jerry-rigging a nozzle out of plumbing parts I had on hand, didn't feel like driving to Walmart, so waiting for a new one to come from Amazon next week, Walmart takes over a gallon of gas round trip, being both lazy and cheap I'll let Amazon deliver it for free 🤣
 
I've been praying this wouldn't happen but I think it's getting close to my well running dry cuz I've had a few sputters out of the faucets in the last 24 hours

A lot of my neighbors are posting on our towns posting board about this also. We're supposed to have two very rainy days this weekend, hope that's enough

the original owner says we've never run out here, even though the wells not particularly deep, might have something to do with the huge Lake 150 ft in front of the house?

I've been trying to conserve for months, I haven't washed the car or pressure washed the house yet this year, and I water miserly only at the base of the garden plants with one of those extension wands

This constant geoengineering has royally screwed up our ecosystem, I hope it's not too far gone!IMG_20241021_171709~2.jpgIMG_20250328_153929.jpg
 
I meant 150 yards for the lake, I can't see it from the house, it it's all woods

Then I just found out they are going to block the top of my street for days while they replace a culvert starting Monday 🤷🏻 what the hell, it's a looong detour around the lake
 
I've been praying for weeks for rain, so I'm very grateful for the rain yesterday, going to make my way out to the rain gauge presently

The rain itself was scary 😳 massive thunderstorms and several near by lightning strikes, the power flashed on and off once, lost satellite TV for about 20 minutes too, but we needed it, and we need more.

It collapsed at least a few of my tomato plants, but the tomatoes are pretty much set already, plus they're not on the dirt, they're on that black ground cloth
