Everything Ninjadip

Yeah I sat on the couch for 2 decades, decided to go back to school 4 years ago, and the offer I got is beyond my wildest expectations... It's all so insane...

I'll be going to Denver, CO, free rent for 8-12 months or however long it takes for me to get enough training to advance the role I was initially going to start at which only had 2 weeks of training. All I can think is that I fucking nailed it on the interview, they need people to fill some higher positions and chose me based on either my interview or the score I got from their proctored Mensa IQ test I took. Whatever the reason I just feel super lucky to start out at 6 figures right out of college with zero professional experience in the field.

I'm looking forward to putting my notice in at current job tomorrow morning. I'm sure HR is going to ask what they can do to keep me, and it will be funny to know they won't be able to even come close to matching the pay

Wife and myself have never been to Colorado, we both love to hike and so excited to see all the natural wonders there! Colorado looks beautiful in the videos and pictures. My cousin joked that I'm just changing mountains for other mountains lol

And thank you for asking
Bro...your moving to Colorado? JEALOUS!! I lived there for almost 10 years. If you want some recommendations I got you! One would be to go see Mesa Verde. Also Red Rocks Amphitheatre (good hiking around there too). If you wanna get into mountain biking...NOW IS THE CHANCE. CO is the #1 mtb spot imo and now there are a fk ton of awesome new trails in the Front Range (where your going). Super stoked for you brother, will have to meet up one day over there and go ski/ride/smoke.

Congrats Ninja! Your hard work is paying off!!!
 
I've never had weed coffee. how is that done? is it added to the coffee? or is it infused into a coffee bean?
throw a lil' infused coconut oil in the hot coffee, it adds a unique taste for sure. i like it. I have to be careful where i open the top to my coffee mug when at work though, cause a big wiff of weed smell can come out sometimes when drinking it in inside lol

Add tryptamine/l-trytophan powder


Are you just adding grounded shrooms or making extract?
ground shrooms, i'm all out now. just have 4 made choc bars stashed up now. debating on eating some today, with my time off.. lol

@ZombieRider thanks man!!! yeah, i'm so stoked!!!

@Rootsruler thanks a lot!

Wow, i really appreciate all the thanks everyone!!!! i'm nervous and excited at the same time... it's like "you want me???" lol
 
Sad ... Saying bye to all the grow equipment...
I won't be able to grow for at least a year.. going to pass this stuff on to a friend. I learned a lot for sure... Not sure if I'll grow again in the future or not at this point, most likely I will

Best of luck with the next chapter bro.

Dont be too sad, the stuff you learned will go with you, if you ever wanna start up again it would be like riding a bike.
Once you get at it itll all come back to ya.

Yes, it is good to give. Difficult to give over a $1000 of gear away, but healthy for my soul.

On the plus side I will be able to design the next one from the ground up with previous working knowledge. It would be almost a given to be able to improve upon the existing design now that I know its weak points first hand
Gear comes and goes. The knowledge and experience go with you.

Congratulations and sorry. Congratulations on your job and sorry you have to smoke dispo weed!!! 😉 🙂
Hopefully not for a while lol.
I'm going to have a little smoke break, going to stop after this weekend I think, and wait maybe 2 months untill getting back. I want to make sure my mind is sharp for the job training, I'm nervous and want to make sure I can prove my worth. Might sound crazy... But just really want this to work out, this is a great opportunity

Rooting for you, quite the opportunity
 
I'm gonna go throw a nug or two in my coffee filter and brew a pot 🤣
I know I am not up to date with all that weed can do. I wouldn't be surprised if they can't infuse it into the coffee bean. here's a thing, you can brew a pot of coffee and then dry out the grounds and smoke them lol
 
i'm back baby!

i got a little diy 5 gallon bucket 2 site aeroponic sprayer going on with 2 white rhinos. I lost the one white widow i had while figuring it out again unfortunately. The plan is to build up a good root system in this before going into the rdwc.

but i'm back on the saddle, just came back from 7 days without any automations in place to a happy surprise
I was terrified to leave the small one i just put in there so soon, but it's doing good down below. the young one is the replacement

1729650521902.jpeg

all the wires are for the probes, just a small pump down there with pvc pipe and nozzles on a timer(5 sec on/30min off), and air stones on low. it gets warm but is doing great now i think. *(I trimmed the bottom of the roots on the bigger one after the picture, maybe 2 inches)

Coming home to these numbers was a relief before I even opened the tent after having a small bacteria(healthy I see now) spike before leaving. Warm temps, tps billions and hydro guard saved me I think.

Thankfully the 3 gallon humidifier didn't run out while we were away, I love this thing! a 2" dryer duct fits perfect on it

Nice

Usually the best way to do it too.

This way saves u valuable tent space.
 
small update, moving slow, but moving.
summary: another lesson learned about upping the EC too much, too fast... So i'm taking it slow for a bit with a new clone starting off.

break down:
I believe this version of me likes the hard road..
i got so excited weeks ago, and i hit the gas too hard on a res change and killed the little one. just decided to clone the survivor since I need to do something to balance them out.

Cutting has now become a clone, roots have shot. Never did get the cloning gel on time, still in transit. don't get how that shit is taking 2 weeks to get here as the fastest way via amazon (only available via 3rd party seller). For me it seems In an aeroponic system, with or without rooting hormones, it will always root, just a difference of time.

Went and got this 2k Tapo $25 camera in there i'm going to use to make some time lapse videos. to eliminate any worries about disabling the IR/Night vision the camera is powered by the same time cycles of the light.

the first roots of a cutting are always so cool to see, imo

The pey0t3 cutting gifted to me last year had a growth spurt. This is my prized baby. Never done the stuff my entire life and can't wait until it is time. will need to up-pot maybe next spring or something.

I'm close to just making it a 1 plant grow, tired of pumping the brakes on this one. Waiting on the second girl to get more established.
This one is past ready for her rdwc home

One thing is certain, it seems I have good healthy roots. Always struggled with this before. Been using tps billions and hydro guard combo, on top of using RODI water for the first time.

I've been trimming the roots right above the water line too, to keep it out of the equipment and to slow it down some. I know the plant wants more nitrogen and more light...
