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

I have one and I use it as an extension to my 2-SE3000. It doesn't have a dimmer, on is on and I adjust it by the height over the plants. I get 55,000 lux off it and the buds grown directly under it are as nice as any. Its promoted as a veg light but I use T5's for that and the SF600 is just added light.
I was shocked with how low the wattage was that had me a bit concerned. But it would just be for veg mostly, maybe throw one in for supplemental lighting in the tent
 
Good Morning 60f and raining, I think we get some sun next Monday for an hour or 2 but I won't hold my breath they've lied before.
Mornin PC!
Under heat advisory’s here this morning.
I would have a big prob being in a place that didn’t get ample sunshine. Looking at your forecast a couple of days ago, was like wow! Two hours of sun for the week!

I was originally going to use it as side lighting but I don't have the distance I'd need from tent wall to the plants and in my 5x5 the SE's are a bit short so this gives me added coverage on their ends

I only use them in veg. They for sure are not bloom lights. Using one to supplement your bloom light will work tho. If you decide to pull that trigger, let me know, I think I have a SF coupon code.

Ya....me too....I've been here almost 30 years, it took me 20 to accept it for what it is......All old folks, very few children or young people. Those with gumption leave for a better life and those that are left have a defeated look about them, no smiles on the young when we see them, specially in the small towns, not so bad in Halifax where there is some future but out in the country it can be pretty depressing for the young people with no goals or inspiration to do any thing. 8 months of winter followed by 4 months of bad weather.

There is the same amount of people living here now in Nova Scotia as when we moved here....just shy of 1 million with around 600,000 in the Halifax area.....Immigrant's land here but head out to Toronto or west after a few years looking for more prosperity, most small business just survives....../ah fk doom and gloom its not all that bad I say as I smoke on a reafer and crack a smile. This is why growing outdoors here is hard.
 
Well truth is we face a lot of adversity here. Summers that will fry the hair off a toad, and winters that are menopausal at best. I guess we just all grow to our surroundings. Outdoor growers here also face many challenges. Animals, high humidity and human theft. No way I could grow outdoors even in my own yard as the deer wander my yard like dogs.

We adapt, I may grumble about this place but I can't imagine living anywhere else now. We're happy for the most part and that's the important thing anyways......I could always use more sunshine but the last time we had it we had fires burning up our woods......I have this place in my mind that rains on Tues and Thurs between 2am and 6 am with white sand beaches, palm trees and blue waters...........I haven't found it yet but I've been looking.....
 
Hey mdk state laws don't make sense most places, my wife has a med license can grow 4 in flower 4 in veg and can have one oz of consumable product on hand.

Recreational i grow 2 and 2 and can have all of the finished product on hand under lock and key. My wife owns one oz i own the rest. Lol

Edit sp lol
Yeah bro state laws are fucking hilarious (not really). Like here in VA i read the dude who laid out the growing laws here said "we dont expect people to be able to grow more than an ounce". Like wtf about growing your own so you have enough weed to not have to buy it do they not understamd? Them trying to stop the black market is funny cuz they are so out of touch.

We also have deer wander around our property like dogs, they arent even scared of us anymore. I had to scare one away yesterday cuz he was munching on our damn fruit trees we have planted! Damn deer go eat a bush! Lol they are cute though. They also bring lots of ticks i hear so fffffk that :/. We do all grow based off our own environment for sure. Here we are humid as heck and really high temps, winters are rainy and not too cold. I envy those growing in dryer environments cuz controlling RH when its 80% rh outside is tough!
 
That’s what I like about the new law with rec of being able to “gift” anyone three oz at a time. Never a prob to get rid of my overflow now!
Im allowed to give away 1 oz or 4gms concentrate under my recreational use, my wife wife with med license to grow her own can't give anything away.
 
@CannaGranny Buenas Dias! I cant keep up with this thread its like an active chat room lol. Hell yeah though keep on killin it CG. Hope ya have a good one today! Today im gonna tend to our veggie garden, run some errands in town and then clean my grow room and stare at my plants :p. I got stung by a ton of yellow jackets the other day, i walk barefoot a lot and the fkers got my ankles and feet. Now i got two soccer balls as ankles and i cant put my bike shoes on....rest week! I located the nest though and tonight im gonna pour a bottle of dish soap into their nest. Also got some traps nearby so the runners can get trapped. Yellow jackets are really bad around here for some reason.

That’s a serious sting! In the future should you get stung like this, immediately wipe it down with bleach. The bleach kills the toxins from the stings and you won’t experience such swelling.
A dangerous proposition messing with the nest.

Damn thanks for that tip CG, I have been stung a few times around here and never did anything except ice it. Will def try bleach next time for the sting, never though of that. Graciasss!! Do you get many wasps around your area and if so, how do you control em?

I know its dangerous to fk with their nest, but its near an area we frequent so its got to go. Will suit up though with thick pants, boots, neck gaiter, and a face bug net. I've done it before and so far its worked...so far lmao. Though I always seem to find more nest's nearby so their population is always +.
 
Here it’s 18 plants total six in veg, six in flower and six clones under 14”. If you are a caregiver you can double or triple those amounts. Monthly you can have six ounces, or if you are a cultivator 18 ounces on hand.

Oh yeah. Wasps, yellow jackets, hornets. We have them all! Bleach, by the way works for all of those stings!
As for the wasps, the only natural enemy of the fly. While I I won’t make any moves to clear them out, one very easy and effective way to keep them away from your gathering areas. Hang a gray or brown colored Japanese paper lantern or even a brown paper bag. Why? The number one enemy of the wasp is the hornet. Wasps see this and think it’s a hornet’s nest. They steer clear.
I fight stingers with stingers! Works! 🙂

When its legal to grow here in New York, which is next July, ill be allowed to store 5 pounds at home.
I can legally carry up to 3 ounces in public too.
I can also smoke weed anywhere that tobacco is allowed to be smoked, not really sure if i agree with that but it is what it is.

How many beers are we allowed to have at home? Oh yeah, enough to kill us but we have weed limits lol. Yeeah no thanks.
 
I was in the tent last night rotating the branches on the hang line and some looked "different"....

I sort of ignored it and continued but it kept eating at me....somethings different...then I noticed. SOMEONE's been snipping larfy branches..,..

I told the GF that we needed to call the exterminator because there is a rat in the house. She didn't get it and asked me where did I see a rat? In the kitchen? In the garage? Where?.....

"In the tent......"

Never realized someone could turn so many shades of red......

I laughed and asked her what she thought. She said she really liked the Moonglow as it really relaxed her but didn't tire her out. The Florida Strawberry put her to sleep and the Big Fat Glue helped her clean the bathroom!!!

I told her we still had at least a couple of weeks before we could begin getting a real sense of what it's like but the preliminary is sounding good!!!
"I SMELL A 🐀💃" hah that is awesome. I like where her head is at 💪

Such a cool idea with the brown paper bag/Japanese paper lantern. Will get some and hang em around our garden's fence.
Speaking of the Japanese, were starting to see more Japanese beetles around so gonna spray our fruit trees with some soapy water and try and get them off as they come. This is why I dont grow outdoors, growing in VA outside is like growing in a jungle lol.

I hang those on my porch. I need the wasps and bees in my gardens. Pollinator’s. 🙂

Dang I didn't think about that lol. I dont mind SOME wasps but we had a nest in one of our raised beds that has nothing planted in it this season so its like a wasp habitat or some crap haha. Funny enough I planted some beneficial insect seed mix in the beds so Im probably attracting the wasps too haha. Its funny watching me outdoor organic garden.
 
Some rules from back then were good. We could drink, drive without a seatbelt and order tigers from the newspaper. Those were the days...lol
Yea and the speed limit posted here on the highways was..." prudent and reasonable " along with "free range livestock "
If your going to hit a cow i guess its quicker at 100 mph
 
Lol not much info besides my buddy texted me a picture of a soda he bought from a dispo called Dr puffer, he was like "dude I'm so blazed"...I was like no, you are drunk my friend haha
I bought a drink from the dispo a couple weeks back, 250 mg, split it with hubs and it wrecked us for hours. Something about the drinks hits different than other edibles I hear. 🤷‍♀️
 
He has a kind heart for sure! He takes that so well. I would shit if someone was cutting goodies from one of my ladies.
The locked door thing, I thought was BS. I have a code entry door on mine, looks goofy as hell.
I do all this for her anyways so no biggie. She smokes from the moment she wakes up to the moment she goes to sleep. I'm more about smoking for my insomnia so I usually don't start smoking until after dinner. Maybe a doob or two along with a beer or two.
