I'm sure there are better ways than rocks to hold the bags down. I've seen videos of some brewers that use PVC tubing to hold the bags down. I've been placing air stones in the bags with the ingredients. I've been thinking that having the air going into the water was an important part of the brewing process. When the bags float, they can lift the air stone out of the water. I'd be tickled if the bags hung just under the surface like the brew ball in your photo. I'm tempted to go bagless and just strain the tea when I plan to load it in a sprayer for a foliar application.
I didn't have to worry about the rocks affecting pH last year, because everything was growing outdoors and the rocks are in the ground all around the plants. I should probably come up with a cleaner method for submerging the bags, since I have indoor plants I want to feed, now.
I love those anoles. All of our lizards live under rocks and in wood piles. We do have some pretty cool looking blue tailed skinks, bu those suckers are super fast. Had my first snake of the season startled me last week. He was under a folded tarp I picked up to use. It was just a water snake, but I get a little jumpy when I'm right on top of one before I see it, lol.
Was just piddling in the garden and came across one of those blue tailed skinks, but something made him into a no tail skink.

when i first started growing indoors a snake slithered off my plants and down my arm... scared the ever living shit out of me in the moment!!! i don't normally flinch or make a noise when i get scared but i swear all my insides skip a beat!!! haha
Brisky on the pole again!!!!! back in the day Joe neamacheck (speling??) got a lot of poles.. they called him front row joe.. might have to start calling Chase front-row Bris-coe!!!! haha
i love night races!!!!!! larson doesn't have the best record at night unless on dirt but i get excited every race at night anyway!!! imo it's the best way to see a race live!!! i've been to two richmond and two bristol night races and those races stick with me more than any other!! pit road is gonna look so awesome tonight on the in car cams with all the teams lit up signs!!!
brisky is gonna love that number one it stall tonight!!!!! track position is the name of the game and he has a bonus right there!!!
lets rock n roll baby!!!!!!!!!!!!!

After reading a few things and checking them out I asked my son to order 100 of these.

I just hope they really are biodegradable, unlike the Jiffy peat pucks.
man your new plants are just blowing up!! must be liking the tea!!!! looks like you've been giving those tomato plants some too.. man i guess thats somethin good about living in the city, i could never leave my plants un protected like that.
you guys didn't mess around with your fruity freaks at all, got em growing already!!!,, i need a couple weeks, maybe even a month till i start a new round.
you're gonna love the small track racing man!!! you'll get hooked quicker than nascar with that racing!!!
what do they run there? i see the modified, do they run sportsmans class too?
i hear whet you're saying about james small. the crew chief is every bit as important as the driver is, larson could never win half the races without cliff daniels. he's be winning once every three years like he did with the 42 team.
.
we got some real nasty BS happening right now up here in the northeast... wtf?!?!! i don't AC in this time of the year.. makes me want to move north!!!

So you're still doing Winter
90s have been just about every day here. Couple hit 100 already. Had some storms but still in a drought.
AC has been on for several weeks and Summer offsets are in play, reducing power to offset cost of AC.
Nice thing about losing weight, can take the heat a little better and don't need the dual AC, just the one.
My heat tolerance is super high thanks to the sauna as well. Haven't even needed to use the cowboy pool yet but it's early.
Yeah that COM lobster compost just makes the best tea. I'm making weekly batches of 25 gallons and everything gets it.
Sativas can get real pissy when it comes to feeding but I haven't met one yet that doesn't do well with a good tea.
Another reason the tea is my go-to on this grow is I'm nearly out of everything except for liquid squid, liquid crab, and yucca extract. Also down to one last bag of soil.
Everything is being used up and spent this grow, clearing the shelf of nutes and supplements. Ran out of Great White so ordered a 4oz pouch of Soluble. Didn't know they brought that back so nice to save there.
Once this grow is done I'll do the tear down and rebuild then finally get new bottles of nutes and stuff to start all fresh for the next run
I've also taken this grow down to basic fundamentals..
After this grow AI control will be introduced but I don't wanna lose touch.
This grow is so stripped down right now. No sensors, monitors, or control. Everything is off and on manual control like it's back in 1989.
Going solely by feel and reading the plants. IDK the temps but I do know it's warm to hot so that gives you an idea of just how little data there is on this one.
I've also turned off the supplement lights and am running just the Smax 1000 set 99 red/75white. May not use UV since this is a Summer grow and I'm being stingy about every single watt being used.
I can't tell you the height of the tables or the PPFD or DLI or any of that. 100% flying by stick.
It really is as dumbed down as reading leaves for hydration and light intensity, turning on fans and adjusting speeds to get the right amount of dance in the canopy, and a weekly feeding of tea. Kinda herky jerky some days but I'm feeling dialed in now.
I think those Freaks will require patience and a known, well worn plan of attack Buddy. They're different for sure and it's not time towith anything I haven't done before. Just keeping it simple with basic gardening fundamentals in these early days and see how it goes.
IDK what to expect Saturday night but I'm sure it will be some good old fashioned redneck fun!
You know you're in for a good time when they sell safety goggles at the concession stand so you don't get dirt in your eyes.
Winter?!?!?! another freakin 93° day!!! i'm dealing with it it but i'm not liking it!!!! we'll be back to norml soon...
View attachment 104279
i really miss the garden center that closed down by my house.. they sold that compost for $7 now i have to drive three times longer and pay $17
AI huh? you think a computer can grow better than you? i highly doubt it.
is this the first time you will be using the Smax solo by itself?
i hear ya man, i'd like to grow them in a simple a-b run as well.
you're gonna have a blast!!! i'm sure it's gonna be like every other small dirt track in america that i've been to and thats the fans are half the entertainment!!! sometimes the weirdos there are even better entertainment than the cars!!! and i have a feeling texas is no different! haha
if it's anything like the tracks around here, i suggest getting the goggles for sure!!! dirt gets slung!
you get to see a lot of classes, thats awesome man!!! most places give ya two or three at most.
i hope the weather is nice and y'alll have a blast!!
This aint nuthin yet
I get it at $24/bag delivered and even then considering what it does as a tea is still a really great deal.
There's a lot of vermin on the label they say it works on and all I know it's an A+ on squirrels

Your capsule sandwich trick was a hit here. Seeing that upside down jar reminds me of the butter/batter we tried it with. As soon as we’re all well enough I think we deserve a treat. Just for special occasions, like Saturdays.Since prohibition might be back I cashed in all my points today while also stocking up for vacation.....

And I'm getting some bumper stickers made in honor of the carpetbagger responsible. Only getting 10 made to start. Will slap one on the rear bumper of Murder Truck and the rest leave at the dispo for the budtenders to do with as they see fit

haha your AI is gonna look at your weather report and say nah.. !! hahaha
okay, i'll never complain again about having to drive to Tilly's to get it. its pretty heavy to ship, i'll drive the 15-20 minutes, it's all back roads, no traffic lights or anything to get there. not bad.
hell for that price i'll give it try for sure!!! i'll put that stuff to the test for sure... i got something worth saving this year,, both peaches and apricots coming in this year!!!

man i am glad i have been dragging my feet on getting you the sugar i owe you... heard word of this coming a few weeks ago but its been a while and didn't think it was gonna happen.,, then today i got a message and looky what coming to the luv shack on saturday!!!!

something you might wanna try.... i am!!!

Oh I fully expect the first thing to come from the AI will be "Bruh?"![]()
I tell ya this cayenne and RepelAll is giving me new found confidence to start farming on a more serious level.
I'd love to have your peaches and apricots.
We have the ideal climate and just 30 miles west of us is like the peach capitol of Texas. 30 miles east, the watermelon capitol. Makes no sense to why I would not be prolific AF growing both other than evil devil spawn tree rat squirrels.
RepelAll does have some very bad reviews about raccoons though. I just didn't care about reviews though I was so desperate for a solution I'd try anything.
I've run the Smax solo a few times. I think the first was a couple years ago and that started the trend to move away from the 550s and commit to the Smax and rail lights 100%. It's such a beast and I'm so into using multiple lights that sometimes I forget how well it does by itself but it's heat output is a great challenge.
Yep I've watched the first two Earnhardts as well and just waiting for the right mood to continue. Just so sad. Like watching Titanic, you know the ending isn't gonna go well but I think Jr. and what he's done since will bring it a happy ending.
I just love me some Dale Jr man. I can relate so much to his youth and he has helped guide me thru new fandom like no other. And I don't think there's anybody in any other sport that comes close to his ambassadorship.
Yeah sounds like you know what you're doing when it comes to that remote and Max. Pick your battles bro. That's not one you wanna fight.![]()
Nice timing on the sug too because I've just about finished off my 14g jar. That stuff last me so long. I think I bought that jar like 3 months ago or something. Maybe 3-4 g left in it but then I got this other jar of Hood Candy badder the other day. That shit is insanely potent but costs 2x as much as all other wax and sugar.
I had like 2500 points to cash in which is a value of around $200. + I made my order online for xtra 10% off and buy 2 get 1 free on disposables
vapes + all the gummies I ended up with like almost $500 of dispo goodies for only $230.
I have more loot to send your way as well. Several VG for you to pass along and also Steam's 'Vette VG. Also that free bag of Biozome Guy sent + a RC car and prolly more. I'll get to this next week and have just been waiting to get on vaycay for a clear schedule.
Man the other day I made another fan shop order from NASCAR to get my monthly points from that.
I have a shopping list now I'm pretty much gonna check off one each month.
This month you woulda loved my choice but I'm saving it for next month because this month I got a 23XI shirt that was limited stock.
So next month, I'm ordering this one...

Thanks for the heads up Buddy!
They are nice and slow burning zero flavor papers!
Little bit better than the blacks I'd agree on that.
Yeah, also picked up a new wet topper for my peak and there's a better view of that one hitter quitter badder.

good thing the thing can't talk!!! hahaha it'd be like, please consider moving to one of the following zip codes!!! haha
or worse yet every time you walked in it would tell you it's warm or send you an alert.. like yea, i know it's f'in hot, don't keep telling me!!!
i got it today so i sprinkled it down, i'll tell ya by time i ws done even i didn't like the smell!! hhahaha
i thought maybe but i wan't sure.. didn't realize it was more than once though. remember when we made the led switch, this is great no heat!! yeah... what happen to those days!! haha
i asked, i got the stink eye.. still got nookie, but no earnhardt!!! hahaha
man my buddy stopped by this afternoon with it.. you'll like it!!!!! i'll send ya some of each and a few kinds of sugar, i got a couple other things here for ya too.
look at that!!!!!! the rooster!!!!!!!!!
i went the slower method of ebay, i didn't think to look at amazon... i wish they make rolls of it.. ya ever see this roll?
.

hope ya have a blast at the races tonight!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I had no idea those yoyos were capable of providing that much tension. I was envisioning vertical hangers with a little give. Pretty neat.
I bought some of these greenhouse-style hooks and a big bag of the clips to try trellising my tomatoes outdoors. I can already tell I'm going to like them, even though my tomatoes have been neglected due to too much other stuff going on, recently. I went to order some more of hooks to have onhand, but they were out of the model I ordered with the first batch. I need to pick another company to order similar from. There seems to be plenty of outfits making them. Really, they look easy to DIY with a simple bending jig and some heavy wire. Looks like these hangers and clips could be used for supporting cannabis, if someone has something set up overhead to hang the hooks from.
I talked to a guy who co-owns a local nursery where I've seen tomatoes in his greenhouses grow like 12 feet up the line to the hangers. When they get that tall, he just undoes a wrap or two and lets the tomato vine belly out to the side and keeps training it up the line. He said he can keep tomatoes going for about 14 months like this. A ton of people do it this way. This was the only set up I've seen, in person.
He also sells cheap sections of greenhouse plastic to area outdoor growers to cover plants in the Fall. It's pieces he cuts off of his greenhouses when he installs new covers.

Damn! Those fish tacos look tasty. I'm too far inland to find red drum for sale, but they're good eating. They remind me of big sea mullet, Virginia mullet, kingfish or whiting (depending on what coast or beach you're fishing, lol). Great eating fish.
man just that thing alone is enough to scare off the squirrels!!!!
i gotta say though i put that stuff down and there has been a lot of deer in my yard as usual but i haven't seen a single one under my peach trees so far!! i gotta remember to reapply soon!!!! i don't mind when the deer walk under them, it's when they stand on their hind legs and eat all the peaches right from the branch. or worse yet they take one bite out of the bottom of each peach.. fuckers!!! haha

so you're gonna grow all three of the fruity freak outside? are those the two freebies you got with them?

LOL! So many different toys to get smoke to your lungs........It's funny man because yesterday after I got all the work done I was so happy and proud the repellents have been working then one of my cats casually strolls up and walks thru the fence and gets up under a tomato to hide and hunt.
So I guess it don't work on cats or I need to apply it again.
We did get some rain so that may have washed it out too. I need more as well as more orange oil and fly traps so gotta make a run today for that stuff and stay ahead of the bad guys.
Yeah the two next to the freaks are Super Fun Haze, the freebies.
Not much if any freak to them at all and look normal even with the herky jerky weather and violent storms at night.
Yep I was starting to see opportunity for an outdoor grow this year then Driver's grow journal was just the inspiration needed to execute.
I'd like to see them a little more robust than they are since I'm comparing them to their freebie sisters as to how far along they should be.
I think once out under the Sun and some consistent weather will get them turning it on soon.
Plants outside just means something a little different for me. It's not even about getting any weed but more carrying on a tradition and keeping a spark alive. I love the total control and manipulation of indoors but outdoors is for the soul.
Don't know why the yellow doesn't show well in pics but I'll figure out the sharing now thanks to you later today.
It's a static scheme so it doesn't change up.

I really like the Austin Made topper but it was a bit of a treat-yo-self piece at $175. Holds a nice volume of water, keeps the smoke cool, and rumbles like a heavy weight bong so yeah I groovin' with it!
Nice change up to my sidecar when it's in the bath. I also want one of these Helix toppers. In the top chamber, the smoke will swirl like an upside down tornado. They're $190 online but local price is $165 so it's on the wish list. I went to the shop for it but came home with the Austin Made.

i can have trip lights in my dab rig now too?!?!?look out new avatar alert don't fuck with texas!!!
i read through some of the comments and i saw other people said it didn't work on cats for them either.
i mean i still see deer walk through, but they don't stand and linger anymore.. i really don't care if they eat the ground fall. i just don't want em hanging out doing wheelies all day!! haha
bottle said every two weeks i believe but yeah i gotta imagine rain means a lot in it.. we're getting three days of rain starting saturday so i'll wait till early next week and sprinkle again. i used about a third of the bottle.
not sure how it will work on the tree rats for me though, i don't have to worry about them until the peaches are ripe. they might just leap from other trees around and just never touch the ground.. i wonder if i can put it in mesh bags and hang it on various branches? like people do with irsh spring soap bars?
i gotta imagine that the fruity freaks would start slower.. if leaves are solar panels for the pants then theirs are half size.
you've always had nice outdoor plants.. outlaw to the extreme there!!!! especially where you live! for me it's like eh, nobody can ever see them. little to no risk, but your place.. yeah that would pucker the ol cheeks for me!! haha not saying i wouldn't do it though!! haha
ya know one thing cool about the pearl is the extra lighting you get from under the sleeve.. i don't get that with the black one..

first waterboy, now spaceballs 2!!!!!!!!!!
Outdoors has been the ultimate exercise in patience. 11 years ago everything around me was razed. A 5 story apartment building sits on my old guerilla grow spot.
Another four, 2 story homes border my property where a single 1 story once did. There's at least 48 eyeballs within sight of where I will grow and most have an elevated view down into it.
It's taken almost a generation for the trees and cover to heal as well as a certain amount of diplomacy to feel good about it.
Fuck it man, why not. But will anybody have the nads to do Blazing Saddles 2?
they do look a lot perkier from the sun!!! they look like some kind of fern or something,, i have a weed growing by my pond and yesterday i did a double take like is that a fruity freak? hahaha looked similar!!
OH! you mean as opposed to "somebody" that had a big LED glow tent in their carport powered by a generator!!!
oh no way, different world now.. i think the digital remastering of that one was even a controversy.
.
you still on vacation?
I believe driver and granny said they r slow growers in veg, but yeah, leaf size probably plays a part in that. That being said, I can't wait to grow some!i gotta imagine that the fruity freaks would start slower.. if leaves are solar panels for the pants then theirs are half size.
