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

Micro opinion on just one small piece of how we got where we are as a country: Labor won huge gains in the 50s through early 80s. Strong, bargained wages saw many families having one wage earner with one parent taking care of the home and rising the kids. Then we got sold on BS trickle down theories and gov't began a continuous squeeze on worker rights. For the last 40yrs the wage gap has skyrocketed, nearly every family now needs two wage earners (often working multiple jobs) to make ends meet, Insurance premiums have increase while the benefit level has decreased... I don't see things improving unless people take the power back. We were built to self-govern, but don't.

Things could get interesting for the trades, soon. We're not seeing many young people interested in becoming welders, pipefitters, millwrights, carpenters, etc. It looks like electricians and instrumentation may be proving to be slightly more attractive careers, but there's still more demand than there are qualified journeymen. Some places that abandoned apprenticeships in the 90s are bringing them back because they can't hire enough journeymen off of the street. I think the trades will see some gains in wages and benefits as employers try to attract young people into these fields. Labor has some leverage, now. If Congress would ever pass the PRO Act and empower workers to bargain better working conditions, we might slow down that wage gap.

On a lighter note, here's some of my youngest daughter's whacky art. I love it when she rips faces off of teddy bears and gives them a new look, lol:

I'm sure some folks would like to tell you to just "pull yourself up by your bootstraps." Motherfucker my bootstraps fell off years ago when I wore them fuckers out tugging on them at every given opportunity. Something's gotta give.
my fuckin boomer ass fuckin dad said this shit to me i bout lost my fuckin shit


and 0 understanding of mental issues.
 
Whew you fellows are fired up this morning! I’m just happy we have a place where we can openly and freely communicate. We don’t have to agree, we just have to be respectful to one another. Makes me just that much more determined to allow open and honest discussion. Carry on..
 
yea but ur a cool one =) <3

sorry gran.
No prob 🙂 I just hate to see certain age groups written off as ignorant etc.
Could be I’m aging, the hard rock music gets on my nerves. My hip hugger jeans won’t stay up. My mini skirts now go to my knees. The summers of love have turned into the summers of hell. The trails we blazed for the weed smokers have overgrown and it’s now lab produced. Our big rumbling hot rods turned to buzzing little electric cars. Marlboro reds are too expensive. Boones Farm is too expensive and they are putting Old Spice on transgenders.
Give us a fuckin break!
All truth but said in jest. I love you Bub ❤️
 
Probably gotta get rid of these soon. but for now.


Been growing without watering till run off, fuck that mess.

Just wanted to see how they grow in clear cups this algae exploded since last night

Doesn't really seem to be an "issue"

I can rinse some of it out and let it dry

And no more outdoor growing as people think it's cool to try to take my fucking plants, nearly caught someone and they walked around side and put one of pots down by tree

Bring em inside


Stuck a male out there and unless I don't remember properly, (finally getting rid of male) someone stole the male plant right by my patio door

It's the principle.

Enjoy your fucking pollen, nutsack

F
 
I cut this completely down just stem now it's growing back

Seen this happen 3x

Was male

maybe there is some viagra in that soil!
Haha

I didn't know/wasn't sure cannabis plants could do that, like trees with no leafs

But I've cut down males like this now before completely , pretty sure left no nodes.

And bam there it is.

Life uh, finds a way.

Anyone ever have a plant 7 weeks in flower that had just 1 branch that never flowered? Its a super small sucker that was down towards the bottom but not at the bottom, only branch on the entire plant without a single pistil.

Yep. I toss them in the coffee can I use to humidify the tent sometimes. Otherwise to the bucket.
 
What a nice morning to be out in this thing!!! View attachment 68358
Just got back from Prowling around Saratoga.
Horses are always practicing early this time of year, town is quiet and 'nice'.

Corvette show in park at auto museum today 9-12 so may go back out in the vette.

There's also a car show at the New Scotland fire dept, that's where that guy was headed.
Another at Tastee Treat too I believe.
 
Haven't seen ya around @ninjadip. Hope you're out there just crushing the new job.

IDK if it's timing or kismet, but I'm BACK BABY!
Sound the Alarms!!!

If you didn't know I love the old school Ninja Turtles! lol
(for those that don't know, i think that is vanilla ice in the club on the stage in the video, if i remember right)

I don't have that same job I had when I left. My criminal background came up after a month of being there, after passing the initial check for hiring. Long story short, I'm back in VA, working at a different corporate office, studying for my masters, and now researching other grow styles before I get back into it! (leaning towards a small ebb and flow setup)

Maybe i'll get more into the deets when I start a new grow journal, but I had a bit of depression when all that went down from doing the job hunt without a current job. Things are good now, I love where I work, I'm leading a small team, professionally improving myself under my supervisor's mentorship (something that i've never had to this degree before), and growing with a smaller company that crossed the million/week sales two months after I started, which is very exciting.

Had a good "reset" a month or so ago with a bunch of my old shrooms, been thinking about y'all so much more since then.

Life is good.

Yeah, it was a good gig for sure. I did dig being out in CO for a while. But of course I have a lot of family in VA and friends, so it was great to come back.

I'm glad you liked the chocolate, I ate 3/4 of a bar when I went camping with a bunch of friends a month ago at the beach. It was too fucking hot the whole time down there, but it's always good times when you're with good company. I still have like 2 1/2 bars left of that stuff in my fridge.

Just ordered the tent and fans last night. The wheels are in motion... lol

Wife hated the smell before, but got her to agree to another grow, albeit much smaller. Agreed to a 2x4 tent with two plants. That's fine with me, that's more than enough to supply me with my addiction for growing! Hoping the big 6" carbon filter will do the job for the smell.

Can't wait to get some plants going!!

Absolutely Vanilla Ice. I had no idea you loved them like I do. Those movies are like a staple in my childhood. We had them on VHS so I watched them all the damn time.

That GIF is wrong. Here they're saying "Ninja, Ninja, RAP"

Bummer about the job man. Kinda bullshit for them to can you over that AFTER you moved halfway across the country. Weak ass hiring process.

Mushrooms are always good for depression. It might get worse for a minute but then it clicks. Either way, sounds like you've got the right attitude moving forward with your optimism for this new job. I'm excited for ya. Good luck!

Of course I love the same shit, we both old! lol

I have to build a new grow setup, but I have too many seeds to justify buying more, help me pick!
