I hope you on high ground in more than one way Granny.
Wow with the horses. They must be mad at the people, surly they would have found higher ground on their own by now.;)

All is good out here in the valley. I worry more so about the wild horses. In 2017 in the 500 year flood, 13 drowned. They say no loss of life, just campers and horse trailers.

I've seen so many tragic grow ops on reddit I lost count. There's no hope there. Just an abyss of mangled and sad plants beyond any help.
Like that there....How in the world does it even get to that? Like you gotta really be trying to fuck it all up or going off some really bad ideas or suggestions about how to grow a plant to make that happen.

that subreddit is dogshit.

and has the worse "advice"
 
So been waiting on the confirmation before I ran my mouth too much because I wasn't sure 100% to be the winner....but...I finally got a confirmation Dm

Check this shit out y'all, won the whole line of headband crosses from Humboldt CSI/Nspecta. Super stoked!!!! 10 packs total I guess he had named 3....7 winners in total, mine being pretty weak at first glance I feel lucky.

In life, my luck generally sucks, or so I think. Then when it comes to weed and contests and shit my luck is real good it seems, oddly good. I get to thinking about that and then I think "well weed is kind of my life, been my thing and I've been in the game ever since I took a hit" so in that sense I guess my luck in life is pretty good when I view weed as my life sort of. Makes me feel that I'm doing what I was meant to do, grow shit, and take care of those around me and spread the love. Maybe life is rewarding me for doing what's right by me and my folk? Idk but I like it!

Now that's good living...just don't show up uninvited because nobody will hear the scream if ya piss off granny Oakley 😜

I know you’re on the way a good mile before ya get here. I’m wireless straight up to the teeth 😜 Then ya have to get through a gate.. So, usually I expect whoever shows up. I operate on the premises that no one will hear me scream, so just I don’t get myself in that position. I know the animals that roam my yard, people in the cities do not. The four and two legged sort.
I wanted peace, it’s alive and well here except for three big mouthed whip poor wills..

Right!! I proved a whole sub Reddit wrong once by showing my root ball in solo cup. They thought I cut off a branch and put it in the solo for pictures. I got rid of all social media except Reddit. It’s my favorite dumpster fire I guess.
 
Good morning all,
just biding my time here in the Bay Area. Thursday, my lady and I will be off to Monterey for 3 days of R&R or other monkey business ;)

It’s amazing to be able to get out of town for a few days and still feel comfortable that the plants are good to take care of themselves.

We are in the middle of a 36 hour heatwave. Supposed to be 90s and 100s all over most of northern ca. today, but then we drop back to the 70s and 80s starting tomorrow and for the remainder of the weather prediction.

So far - so good on the grasshopper/locust front in the foothills, but stay tuned, there’s plenty of warm months left. It could still get really bad. We’ve been spraying the perimeter with extra strength garlic spray, all the plants and surrounding soil are being sprayed with spinosad and BT regularly. I don’t know if we can fight off the hoards of hungry mouths, but I’m sure going to make it distasteful for them!

Oh, and ants! Doggone ants, they are eating some of my cactus! Mixing borax + powdered sugar + backing soda and circling the plants as well as covering all trails of ants. I’ve also dumped that mixture on what appears to be the nest opening, only to find they just use another door!

Well, that’s enough whining for now! ;)

So does the sugar draw them in and the borax and baking soda fuck them up? Borax maybe weakening the shell and the baking soda making the ants go alkaline real quick and croak? 🧐 🤔 Many questions

Boric acid in powdered form actually blows em up from the inside out. I used to keep lids with boric acid and honey mixed atop of them under my kitchen counter, when I had neighbors that had a roach prob. I used to find a few dead ones but I never had them myself.
The boric acid is a powder, it’s cheap and safer than chemicals.
