Ghost is sexualy attacking the twins
"That cat has to go" my wife says.
idk what to do about that feral freak! It won't get tame, no matter what.
We cannot even get close or it runs and hides.
idk maybe releasing it back out in the streets might be the only solution.
Sugar buddy is doing real well, she must have been a house cat to someone.
Still not sure if she is pregnant or not. boy oh boy!
Patch is also doing better he will lay in my lap and want me to pet him and rub his belly.
But still runs out of habit and finds a secure place to lay low from Sky or us sometimes.
Patch is getting used to Sky and Sky to him.

Here is Patch watching Oak Island with me. haha That's Shady up on the tower.

My boy Qnight gets aggressive with the other 2 he goes on a prowl and the other 2 scatter, the first one he sees gets attacked. He gets wound up from Crows in the yard or another cat or raccoon at night when hes out in his enclosure. We think he may need some kitty Valium to calm him in the winter months when he can't get outside as much.

Yeah, kitty Valium sounds good. I’ll have to find out about that.
Before the twins ghost would go in heat and hell of a storm all night and day and leave palm size to a hand size spray in the seller.
I know she’s in heat now because I seen a blood spot by the kitty litter. Funny thing is she don’t bother patch too young or Mail I guess but she goes after the twin girls probably because they are so young she could take advantage..
I’m hoping the howling is over by tonight.

Final Pots
Transplanted the last 2 into their final AP pots today.
It went well, Now if they just take to the soil with no probls.
Roots looked pretty good, nothing spectacular like SDH was.
2 more weeks and I turn on the system!


Ghost has calmed down and so has wifey hahaha.
Maybe benadryl or something like it, if I can trick her into eating it. (The Cat)
Not sure what kitty valium is?
Still not sure if Sugar buddy is preggy yet.
Oh, it's a soap opera here!

Back in the 80's my cat got diagnosed with stress.
They actually prescribed him valium~!
I think it was only 1mg per dose.
You should have seen the looks I got when the pharmacist called out the prescription was ready by calling the name on label.
" Buckwheat M, your prescription is ready~!"
When I said that's my cat he said he must be a bad kitty.
I said no just a little stressed~!

We bought some kitty Valium when we drove for 3 days down to Florida with one of our cats, it helped a lot the first day until she got used to being in the car for so long, she just slept then woke hung over with dopey eye's and feeble mews

Ah low dose val, the only problem is we can't touch her let alone catch her to see the doc.
Patch is going in first to get them balls sniped then we'll see who's next.
Ghost hides and is hard to find and when cornered, she gets nasty, hissin' with claws out.
Sooner or later we'll get it done.

The most complex grow for me.
I got it down to a 5/5/5/5 for 3 plants and 4/4/4/4 for the other 2 slackers that are 2 weeks behind the others.
Sun Daze haze os the oldest at about 9 weeks in veg with another week or two to go before 12/12 starts.
I got them all in the oil pans ($ store) sitting on the floor except for the 2 slackers which have a mini crate under them for now.
Main thing is I got them all pretty healthy!
They will sit in the nute water for another 5-6 days.
Then I'll set up the system and turn it on.
Waiting for some extra blue lines I sent for, hope they hurry up and get here.
Next ime I'm going one and done (solo cup to final system pot), this shit is too much trouble.
I did that once before and it worked good and not sure why I abandoned that idea. I think I just forgot it. lol
I'll hook up the side lights and maybe the UV's after the system is on.
Then I'll know where the final position of the pots will be.
At first the 7 cats were giving me anxiety, lol but it fades out over time and I'm adusted to them now hahaha
Speaking of being adjusted, they are all buddies, except Sugar Buddy, she is ok but takes no shit from the other cats
or Sky. I think she is preggy and I think she is very young to be this way.
Patch is doing very well and comes upstairs more but I think I created a treat monster, as he cuddles and rubs up on me and
follows me around, until I give him a treat! He is a bully too! He pushes his way in and eats the other cats treats or food.
That's the feral in him. Little by little, he is loosing that feral instinct to run and hide from us.
His paws are huge and I believe he is going to be a big cat!
The twins are getting bigger and all are getting used to the big dog in the house.

Auto Pots Roll Out!
The system is officialy on.
Got the speggetti lines all figured out.
All went well, I did try to do the best I could with those lines but it still looks a mess haha.
Glad I ordered the extra lines, it made it easier than trying to piece together what I had.
Forgot to get a couple of shut off valves and a few straight connectors, had to wing it till they come in.
Sorta made a circle of pots and hope I don't have to adjust or move them around to much.
Nutes are at 6/6/6/6 (GH Micro, Grow, Bloom, CM) for now, that will change after the flip.
One rez tank feeds the 3 pots on the left which includes the larger XXL 6.6g pot that's front and center.
The other tank feeds the 2 pots on the right and these 2 plants are behind by at least a week.
I'll flip them sometime this week, after I set up the side lights.
The schedule I wrote down says "flip on the 14th" but I'm a few days behind, so we'll see.

We had a bit of a warm spell for a few days and now it's back to winter weather.
I have to stop feeding the animals at night cause the cam spotted a skunk and a possum at (possum) 4 am and (skunk) 7am
Only a couple of cats come at night, an Orange one and Marbles (I think both belong to someone) and another feral tabby I seen around the alley.
Ah and I finally seen the Mother cow cat again, with a collar on .

"Can't save them all" she says. and she's right. Sometimes you have to look away.
I'll put kibble out in the daytime and pull it in at night but will keep warm water out for them in freezing temps.
I'll leave the cat door open for now, until spring, Then I'll shut it down for good.
Can't take a chance on Sky getting bit or a Vet bill.

12/12 Starts Tomorrow
I got the side lights up, both sets!
Took awhile to figure out how I'm going to do it.
The sticks I had hanging from the ceiling were too short and
it's too cold outside to look for replacements in my wood pile behind the shed.
I used the 5' metal garden rods with the clips I brought to put them together in a sorta cage. (Plant cage match, who's gonna be the champ?)
Then attached the lights with zip ties. The new ones are magnetic and stuck to the rods but not good enough for me.
I'ts hacky, but I got it done, then I thought, why not just cut one board up, adding an extention piece, then they would be long enough to hang.
Oh well, it's done for now. Kinda hard to get around. Especially when I have to trim or defoilate.
It's open for change in the future. For now it works.
All is going well and had to add 4 gal of nutes to the #! bucket, that's the one that feeds 3, including the xxl pot.
#2 is going down but very slow. I'll have to keep an eye on that one.

They (National Grid electric co.) are going to install new "smart meters" pretty soon and I've heard bad things about them.
I really can't afford a $100-$200 increase in my electric bill, if that's true, what some say. It would mean the end of my growing.
I could op out for $15 a month extra on my bill to leave the old one in place. IDK
There is mixed reviews on it and some say it does and some say no difference.
I don't like change so will look at it hard.

Your plants look great, big, for just flipping. I used my blues to help keep them down but 1 plant didn't listen and overtook the rest.

We had a smart meter put in a few years back, We don't notice any changes, As long as we pay our bills on time there's no reason for them to look into us. We do get notices we are double our neighbors power consumption and they give us advice on how to keep the KW down...lol, They know not about my growing. I could be a potter and need a kiln on who are they to know whats up.

 

[OLDCRO]

Also have a smart meter installed few years ago all it does is save the hydro company from paying someone to read meters. My water meter is also a smart meter. With the hydro smart meter i can log into my account and check my daily usage weekly monthly shows actual cost per day.

Ya, they are big but had to wait up on the two plants that had to catch up to the others. It was a cluster f grow right from the get go.
Soil I prepared was too rich for the young plants and either killed them or locked em up.
Had to germ and plant some all over again like deja vue.
Only plant to survive the first wave was Sun Daze Haze, It's prob 9 wks old haha, the others vary @ 6-7 weeks.
I held off cause I wanted the new plants to get rooted pretty good.
I defoiled a bit last night before hooking up the sides.
I see a lot of LST in thier future.

I guess ya can't fight the future haha good to know about your experience with the smart meter.
There is a lot of bs out there and it's hard to filter out what's what.

I heard somehting about that but didn't know if it was true or not.
Good to hear from you about it. I really like that I can log in and see what's happening in my account.
That is a good thing.
Thanx for the info.

They can also cut off the power remotely now. We got a notice they are rolling out the newest smart meters in February. They say the last ones are outdated now but others are saying they also had issues.
