CannaGranny’s Corner a Thread For General BS and Good Will On BudBuilders

I get my furnace cleaned here in a few minutes, the guys supposed to be here any time. as I sit next to it smoking a joint. grow room, workshop, smoking den. all out in the open. I don't like strangers in my grow room and I'm not leaving while he's here. I'll smoke if I feel like it, no worse than having a beer...right?
I no longer hide anything I do. More so, because I like knowing these people have spent years around me. Work, outings, committees and on the ranges.
Seems now they have to face the fact that the person they spent time with, trusted and looked to for advice was and is a regular cannabis consumer.
They are taking it well. Surprisingly so. Many have even converted.
Im now the go to for pain relief nausea and nerve problems. I don’t provide them with product, although I could legally by gifting it to them. I provide info.
Been an interesting about face, from “pothead“ to the person in the know.
 
I’ve had a few of those times when I ended up feeling and looking like the one leading the pack.
For a long time, it was frowned upon, then all of a sudden, you’re the only one that knows how to drive the bus!
They all like advice, especially when its free and works.
 
Sunny and 78* around here. Should be warm for at least the next few days.

Went to my second hand rehab and therapist told me she should have me at 100% in the next month or two.
That's outstanding, I would expect some loss but damn...put her to the Pepsi challenge, were lookin for a 6 fret stretch low to mid neck here lady haha

Its the main reason I hid in my oil tank room with a 5.6" ceiling and furnace ducts growing for 20 years with a 1000w hps. I didn't want people to see, then insurance guys forced the oil furnace techs to inspect the oil tanks during a regular cleaning. So they forced me to come out of the den to an 8ft ceiling basement if they're going to see it anyways there's no point hiding and we hit legalization at the same time.
 
Anyone seeing a ladybug hatch happening? They exploded here today with the warm weather.
We have a big hatch going on, but it’s not lady bugs. Just looks like them. That’s an Asian Beetle. Those things will pee and poop all over your crop.
As soon as we see the swarm begin, we set off bug bombs in our attic. This generally moves them out and they stay gone until next year when they will swarm again.
 
I have three scrogs running now.
Pic one is the new 2x7 closet scrog and the plant is Blue Dream.
Pic Two is a 4x4 one plant grow. Plant is called CreekWalker.
Pic 3 is a 5x5 three plant grow. Green Crack, Oregon Grapes and Cement Shoes.

I bought enough wood for about 10+ pipes yesterday, Cherry, Bubinga, Birdseye maple & Canary so I've my weeks entertainment worked out. I'm not sure how many I can make without mouth pieces but I'm looking into making them as well once I figure out how to make a nice connection between stem and bowl with a home made mouth piece
Some of my birdseye pocket knobs I cut off the firewood these things would make excellent pipes I think if you have something sharp enough to shape it efficientlyPXL_20231025_042559403.jpg
 
Have to clean out and rip down my shed this week, need to rebuild my trailer skirting cause the 30mph wind storm we just had ripped one side completely off.
Need it all done by Saturday, its just me doing it all, and my youngest is running a 102.2 fever today. Fuuuck. I feel bad hes sick but i really have no time for him to be sick right now. 🙄😔
 
Ya know, I seem to notice a pattern.

1 - I can't wait to start a grow
2 - Seeds popped! YeHaw
3 - I don't think they are growing quickly enough!
4 - Add cal-mag, reduce light
5 - Look awesome, flip to 12/12
6 - Lots of stretch!
7 - what's wrong?
8 - I hate growing!
9 - Harvest day, life is wonderful again
and back to #1

A nice piece of wood you have there. The trouble I have is squaring it up to drill holes. I had a nice chunk of apple wood I tried to square up and I ruined it, my square wasn't square and I drilled through the side and on another the drill went to the top of the bowl not the bottom
 
What’s going on up North @MDK ? It’s a rainy slash sunny day here, temps in the 70’s and the trees shedding leaves like crazy.
I have a busy day today, Doctor appt at 1:15, a trip into Mtn. View to pick up my meds, swing by the vet to get the cats meds. Half a day to do simple chores!
Looking forward to a day at home minus company and not having to leave to go somewhere.
Yesterday, I listened to a hard headed GF of mine lament over a red spider mite infestation. Talking to her about grow room etiquette is like pissing in the wind. I have warned her for quite sometime now about allowing her outside animals in her grow, and about her not cleaning after every harvest and about controlling heat and humidity.
Well nowwww, she knows. Low RH, hot temps, animals in the grow and not properly cleaning, and ta daaaa you just won a case of lovely red spider 🕷️ mites!
She wanted to look at my ladies..that got a hearty resounding hellllllll naw! Telling her I really did not like her in my house, much less my grow..
Truth seems to butthurt so many people.

I see that ole man winter is moving in, in your area. We are getting there! I won’t tell you it’s a gorgeous 70 here today!😜
Whats going on with the small fry? Hope to hear he is back in fine form, quick!
I see that you have so much going on at any given time. I think you may need smudged!
 
66 here rainy and cloudy. That fall humidity rolling in with the rain.

Good job on ninja blocking her from your grow haha. I had to do the same when my grow buddy here in town ended up with a hermie...he had moved the plant all over his house then took it to his work to throw it away...probably dragged pollen all over the north side of town lol

It is, but isnt lol, its apparently gonna be in the 70s the next 3 or 4 days ao thats cool i can shut the heat off again 😅

Not sure whats up with little guy, his brother just got over strep throat, hoping to hell its not that. He woke up at like 330 and came to my room, i put him back in bed and he was hot so i checked his temp he was 101.4. At 6am when we got up for school, he was 102.2 so im keeping him home and doctor tomorrow if the fever doesnt pass.

Seems things never end for me, i always have too much to get done in a short time frame lol.

Some people gotta learn the hard way... i did anyways lol. Things were great for so long and i thought i was invincible.... well that bit me in the ass, real hard 😅

I dont let people who grow outside in my house all summer, they get pissy about it but im not gonna get an infestation of bugs or WPM infection because i let someone in my house to look at some plants, so i get why you said "helllllll naw!" Last thing you need/want is mites.
