Nice! frosty

I check to make sure there's Amber because I rely heavily on weed to help me sleep

Ya I hear you but for me if there's no amber by 11 weeks something has to be wrong 95%+ I grow I aim for Indica's, I'm not interested in 16 week flowering plants. You'll see all my plants have shorter, fatter wide leaves

Hey, gins new to me, i tried it in the past but never liked it. About 15 years ago we flew to Vegas, Early one morning about 8am we walked into a Keno/sport bet place and a waitress walked by with large glasses of Martini's loaded with large green solid olives and my wife says hey I'll take one of those...I said make it 2 so we sat and played Keno drinking Martini's until about 10 am....lol...then went back to our room and slept the 110f day away.

We didn't drink it again until just recently...6 months maybe...Its a slow drink and just a sip at a time works wonders for my arthritis doc. Its not a habit...really...as I stare at another glass with 4 olives way down on the bottom below 3-4 oz clear toxins.

My mom and grandmother used to mix pink lemonade with it along with the normal tonic water drinks. Pretty sure I’ve had it with red/blood grapefruit. I’ll get it for a change if I see a bottle on sale.

If you like a dry gin like Tanqueray but don't want to spend all that money you might like Beefeater, it's no Tanqueray but it's a very acceptable dry gin

Sounds familiar. It the one with the bowler hat? Pretty sure I’ve had Tanqueray a few times too on sale. They have different flavours iirc.

Brokers was the one I was thinking of, not Beefeaters.

I harvested my other Triangle Death Skunk and although the buds are smaller Its because of so much larf and lowers I didn't trim up, regardless she's a pretty plant.

This is my left side triangle Death Skunk, Brought to you from under a FC4000_EVO in Promix/Perlite 50/50 ish with a healthy load of Worm castings about 1 1/2 gallon per 6 gal promix and 3 gal perlite. Then some Azomite at a healthy 1 tbs/gal ( soil) and Gypsom at about the same. and 2 cups Mycos maybe a smidge more.

General Hydroponics 3 part + Cal Magic when needed and Kool Bloom Liquid then KoolBloom dry I also use Diamond Nectar & Epsom salts in my res with AutoPots I use Hyclean to help deal with salt build up.

I've been playing with Far Reds and use them intermittently to help widen the leaves and stretch them out of the pots early in veg at just 15 min at lights out for 1 week at a time. I also had them on this run at lights out for 15 min from 6 weeks in flower until just this last week when I put them on with the other lights.

I'm also playing with 450nm Blue lights from Grand Master led with their Tarantula Booster bars. Not sure how they'll work out but I like the reds I'll have to see how the blues go. I had them on for 2-3 weeks through the day with my other leds from 6 weeks until 10 weeks and I turned down my main leds to about 80% power.

Something worked, they are all pretty sparkly and should do the job.

The last of my plants are down. I pulled my own accidental creation from a BlackBerry Moonshine and a hermied (GreenPoint) Topanga Cookies. Not sure how it'll smoke but its rock hard and smells great. A little iffy on the bottom and I see what look like a few nanners although no seed as yet, Larf looks suspect but nothing hard and the few suspect spots I pulled were soft and I chewed on the to see texture and all soft green bud , no crunch or seed pod taste...the ole taste test....lol

All along I thought this was an Ice Cream cake cross until I pulled it out and saw it under different light. I recognize the buds and leaf color, all Blackberry Moonshine.
Anyways plants look great and all are now down and drying, dehumidifiers are off. I can clean up then hang my new light. for my next crop

A busy morning for me, got up early drove 30 min to Walmart to get MCT oil for my wifes gummies....MTHERFKERS stopped selling it???? I had to buy Coconut oil, not as good but she needs to make it today. Came home Decarbed my wifes weed and got it in the double boiler where it will cook about 4 hrs the strain and cool.

Anyways up early in the shop, all plants are down so I cleaned my tent, took down the 2 Se3000 and put up my new FC4000-EVO along side a brother I can gang together. I still have to move my Autopots from my 3x3 and its a good thing I can move today they are getting crowded in the small tent.

I hooked up the air lines, put tomato cages on to support and they'll help divide the plants and I topped them all. I hope to flip May 31 or earlier if they look ready, sooner the better but I want them to be on more food before I flip,they still haven't sucked up all of their first feed in the Ap's.

I was doing some cleaning up and I hadn't dumped this Triangle Death Skunk and it still has some life in it so WTF it was a nice girl I'll try a reveg. I may stick her outside if she starts to go. I replaced my G3000 with only 2 bars running with an SE3000 that works great.

I'm still vegging the girls in the 5x5 I fed them 6 gal yesterday of 4/4/4/4/1ml/gal & 1tsp/gal Epsom salts. & 1 ml/gal Rapid Start

Plant her outside, watch her go.

 

[Pipecarver]

Plant her outside, watch her go.

I'm thinking on it but 5-6C and rain isn't a good start, 8c now...46f ish isn't good pot growing weather. I'll let her grow some leafage before I put her out in a nice warm well lit 3x3 first. I'll probably build a plastic pup tent for her.

I’ve lost two sunflower seedlings sitting in the window, others are doing okay but growing extremely slow. Out of the six I had to put outside only three under a cage are doing well, but again slow. The rest the rabbit(s) ate.

I put a greenhouse over the vegetable crates thinking I might be able to get an early start but Mother Nature trumped that play.

I’m going to lose more seedlings if I can’t get them outside soon.

We have some sun today up to 18C yahoo. Spring,....lol. I have an issue I'm needing help on. My neighbor chopped down 3 of my trees and shoved dirt onto mine to expand his back yard. He said sorry and I guess that's that according to him with a shrug of the shoulders a smile and walked away. His daughters house he owns. How do I asses damages? Do I just shrug it off and let his expropriate my land?

Let him away with it this time whats next ??? You can call cops there going to tell you its a civil manner. The downed trees are they on your property or his ?

 

[Pipecarver]

His
Last year he pushed a bit of soil into my yard and I called him on it, he said he'd pull it back...never did and this year I think because he pushed over last year he just looked at the line and thought that was his so chop chop....fkin pisses me off. they were wind breaks for the house and 1 was a nice big tree,

 

[OLDCRO]

I would still call the cops they will probally talk to him and explain the tresspass law to him.

 

[OLDCRO]

Just make sure if you call the cops dont let them near grow !!!!! You call for one thing they look for somthing else

I don't think cops are a good idea, I don't need them sniffing around, The oil man smells it I can't hide it. I called lawyers to see if there's anything they can do to asses the damage... How much are those 3 trees worth....he happens to be the same guy that snow plows me in the winter.

My flowering girls are 1 week in flower, I've seen some stretching on an Ice Cream Cake and her stalk has turned red ish, standing out from the crowd, still a soft pliable stalk so I'm not worried about lock out. I grew her before and didn't notice the red, nothing to worry about yet but it has me wondering if she's getting too much feed. as I worry....lol

I bought a green light????...ya....I had to make up a delivery order for nutes + and I was $50 short...what to buy what to buy??? I saw a Trim Tray set $79....okay I put in in my cart then kept looking and came upon the green light $59. I read that it can enhance the red and blue spectrum's allowing them to penetrate deeper through the plants, seeing as I'm using both as booster bars wtf I need green too....wife says what...no yellow? I didn't mention I'm looking at Deep reds too...Seeing as @Kuwl brought them up. When he wrote that he had some my head perked up...Deep Reds???

Right now my 2 Fc4000-EVO's are on at about 60% giving me about 30,000 lux across my canopy and my Blue 450nm running at 100%. The green has been awkward to set as it has its own timer and so far won't come on when it goes off, I have to reset it. I'll have to read the manual and see if I can set it right otherwise I'll chop off the controller and splice in an on/off switch

My reveg has life, I noticed yesterday 2 small green leaves and today there's 4. She was getting a bit dry so I gave her a light feed 3-4 days ago, I'm sure there are other signs in the small buds that she's re-vegging but its good to have some visual proof that she's Alive.

Ya but I won't run our cards up, If we can't pay it off we don't buy until we can. Everything is paid off we just live within our means. If I want to buy a new light I can't spend all of my weekly budget for about 10 weeks at least at this point. I'm tapped out ATM I need a budget increase, fkin tariffs .....lol

I really only needed Micro and Hyclean and they owed me 4 Grove bags from Zippers ripping off which they'd send next order...lol...a gallon of Micro, a bottle of Hyclean, 4 - 62% Boveda packs and the Green light to cover the $125 free shipping.We had arranged for the 4 -1/4lb Grove bags to be in my order but they missed it so instead they shipped me free 10 - 1/4lb bags. They arrived today.

 

[OLDCRO]

I am the same usally order online with credit card for points but as soon as i receive order the card is payed they dont make any interest off me. They made there interest money off me years ago when i had a morgage after house was paid it was pay as you go if i couldnt pay cash i didnt need it

Thats' why we own our homes, we budgeted and still do. My wife really fret over paying off our home before we retired. Then the Car...now I think its vet bills, Costco can be a shock , so can the oil bill but somehow we squeak through.

 

[OLDCRO]

I have 2 dogs and the vet bills the last few years have gone way up. I always had dogs but i also bought pet insurance which returned 80 percent of vet costs some years its wasted money but one emergency visit im happy to have it.

Ya the vetenarian places here are being brought up by companies that start charging crazy $ for animal care.
The one I go to has been here forever and hope they don't get brought out.
They are very reasonable, so far.
But ya one emergency and boom.

What pet insurance do you have?

Our dog Sky got bit the other day. Stuck her nose through a crack in the fence
and another unleashed pit these lil kids were walking attacked, not that my dog wasn't going full on attack also.
But they had no controll over their dog just letting it loose in the alley.
That's why we don't walk out dog, I would love to but for the certain people that let their dogs run free in the city.

I watched families including my own get screwed over by credit as a kid. If I couldn’t get what I wanted driving there and paying cash I’d order on CC but pay it off as soon as it arrived in working/good condition.

I don’t even have a CC anymore. Rarely an issue.

I taught myself and later my kids to save for what you want/need. Then when you have the amount re-access if you really need it based on how long it took you to save that much.

Banks and CC/loan companies were the first scum bags to start collecting every bit of info to manipulate people. Now they are advertising to get you to sign up your kids for their own CC. How about we teach them NOT to need them instead?
