Aug 24, yesterday was my 73 rd birthday. No parties for this one, Vegas was our party. We got a phone call from Dr. office Wed, they had a cancellation Would my wife like to have her corneal eye transplant done? ....ah?? okay...when? tomorrow morning 6:30am? ah okay??? you need to be here 1 hr early.....ah...okay...a 1.5 hr drive...5:30 = 4:00 am start??...Okay.....

So after surgery she has to lay flat...a 1.5 hr drive home then flat and return tomorrow for follow up.??...okay 7 am...quick follow up alls good lay flat for 2 more days, see you Tuesday. Lay flat as much as possible no more than 20 min up per hr...eye drops every 4 hrs. They don;t prep us for this disruption and wtf is with 6:30 am for folks that live out in the country. Ah well we hope she can see better after its all done......then the other eye needs the same after left eye heals.

My plants are doing great, I transplanted them into the Autopots and moved them into my 5x5. I set them at about 25,000 lux across the canopy and I have my blue booster bars running at 100%.pics to come. I hooked up the air lines and res and turned the pots on. I filled my res with 6 gal of 3/3/3ml/gal( M.G.B) /1tsp Epsom salts and 1/2 ml of Rapid start/gal. 15 min later I check and pot 4 had a valve blockage with my pot socks and flooded my tent. problem fixed add 6 more gal nutes.

I'm trying to bag my last harvest and its really sad, full off seeds I mean full of seeds. I took 3 nice looking buds offa Grape Skunk along with a smaller top. I crumbled to smoke and threw it all away, all seeds and seed shells pics to follow...

1 plant an Ice cream cake is frosty and is smokeable with very few seeds but seeds none the less. I still have 4 to bag up but all I see is cooking material.

I had one of those on my left eye a few years ago and although I am a chicken chit, I went through with it.
It was a breeze. It went pretty fast and I was high as a kite when I left the facility.
Had some pain later, they would not give me anything for, so got some from the street. (It was before they started putting fen in everything.)
In the end I could see much better, so much better, it changed my life.
Still, I was too much a chicken to get the right one done, still blind in that eye.
He did it pro-bono, I think cause once I got dizzy and fell in his office after a visit.
Was walking out of the exam room and poof, passed right out. I didn't sue him lol.
I guess I don't like Doctor's poking around my eyeball.👁️
And Happy B-Day!;parti
 
Aug 24 28 days 2.JPGAug 24 28 days old.JPGAug 24 veg blues on.JPG
Pics taken last night 28 days old from breaking ground. All doing well. It looks like a leaf or 2 had some ph problems but it seems to be accepting it all now. I sucked a couple of leaves into my wet vac, chewed them up pretty good but they're still hanging on, looks like cats have been at them. I haven't topped at all yet, not sure I will this run, I may just bend them over. My plan is to Flip Sept 1st topped or not.
 
Aug 29
Up early this am, shoulder pain had me restless. I came down to smoke one for relief 6am and my lights were not on...now WTF...it looks like I've been running 12/12 the last 2 weeks since I moved everything into my flower tent....sigh...This old age stuff is getting old fast. It doesn't look like there's any issues with my plants but dam I gotta get on this stuff sooner. I had intended on flipping to 12/12 Sunday. Now I'm not sure what to do, leave at 12/12 or go back to 18/6 for 2 days? then go back to 12/12???
Plants look good, still waking up and hanging a bit but I guess they should stay at 12/12. Its been a full 2 weeks at least since they were moved. I just topped 1 of the Grape Skunksaug 29 group.JPG

I would stay 12/12 also.
2 days won't do much beyond possibly confuse the plants.
You get to borrow my mantra.

Yes I will keep 12/12, issue #2 this am, My plants were hanging a bit this am...I figure just waking up....I checked my res to see how much I have left....still full...wtf?....I cleaned the filter yesterday and forgot to turn the valve back on.....another heavy sigh

Thanks, for that. I don't do birthdays either. I'll mention it after its over but my wife and I don't celebrate over it. As I got older I didn't want any fuss over me so I've kept the day quiet. I'll celebrate 100 if I make it but the rest are just meh, another day and it just pisses me off I'm getting so old, so fast.

Thanks, I'll post pics in a bit. My girls broke ground July 29th. I'm 2 weeks into flower already at 5 weeks + 2 days old. I'm not far enough into my feed plan to be feeding flower nutes. I also seem to have a calcium deficiency already because I haven't added Cal/mag yet. I don't normally add until week 3 of flower but I see signs its needed already with fading fan leaves. I think these photo's being flipped at 2 weeks old will beat most auto's to harvest. My plants are definitely smaller than I normally grow them but I'm thinking they'll do just fine once I get their feed right.

I'm the same as you. I never cared about celebrating my birthdays. My wife loves a good party though. I reached a milestone birthday last year (50) and my wife got pissed that i refused any sort of grand celebration. A typical Friday night with our friends is celebration enough. There's always enough food, music and laughs.

I've never been into punk rock or the screaming heavy metal but this chick is great. All in1 take. This stuff maybe old stuff to useall but its news to me

Had two buddies into punk in my late teens early twenties. Like most music I can listen to it but I wouldn’t buy it. Pink Floyd was punk but I considered them more rock.

A few others were/are into Metallica and other heavy metal bands. Again, nothing id turn off but I never got really into it like the did.

Funny to watch either group dance in a pit. More like battling through a Walmart on Black Friday then dancing. 🤣😂😝

September 5th, not August.

Everything is looking good. We all make little fuckups as we go along. I’ve left the bathroom sink running for an hour when watering because…squirrel. 🤣

Love the cat pic. Who’s lord of the yard sitting up on the log? 😂

That Qnight on the well pipe, Coal up front Dusk...y back right

So our Clothes washer went down again, I can fix that says I. I took the back off and removed the inlet valve that was the issue the last time. I googled the part and ordered off amzon...All fixed except for the leaks. 2 hrs later and a sht load of Teflon tape no more leaks...Washer running. She goes to dry the clothes and the dryer doesn't work...wtf...fuse blown. Out for a 30amp fuse I replace it and now I can't get the fking 4" dryer hose back on the 4" vent. I gave up and moved the dryer next to the door and its venting outside...sometimes I just need another smoke.

Hey, how long did it take you to see right again? Its been close to 3 weeks now and she still can't see very well. No way she could drive now and she could before the operation.

Man, that's a long time ago and I can't remember shit any more, so I asked my wife and she said about 3 month's.
Sounds about right, I know I had to wear an eye patch, like a pirate, for a few weeks.

Then I could finally get glasses, before I could not, cause my eyes were so far off, in opposite directions.
