Stoney's Luv Shack

Yeah, man! That's some cool stuff. I think proper watering may be more of a struggle for me to get grasp of than the more foreign stuff (to me as a new grower) like lights, nutrients and pest/disease prevention. I'm sure I'm not the only one following to see where you land on this. There may be other threads covering this, already. If there are, it's still nice to follow along in real time. Entertain and educate me, lol.

i'm fairly new to hand watering myself. for the longest time i grew a bucket within a bucket and just poured water in till it was full once every five-six days. so growing in conventional containers and watering every few days is new to me and i'll admit i've made mistakes. and still am making mistakes according to these new gadgets.. i believe right now they know more than i do so i'll take their advice!! hehehe

all 16 connected, calibrated and reporting results... also reports back battery strength for each sensor, room pressure, temp, and rh...

i can now monitor this precious cargo!!!!

in the beginning of week three of 12/12.. i'm going to trim out the lower sucker growth this weekend...

Are the temperature and RH probes separate from the soil probes? Or, are they all built into one probe? Just curious if each soil sensor also reads temps and RH, so you can weed out any one-offs that are drifting and need calibration.

Your plants look great. Gotta love that healthy shade of green.
 

hoping to keep em that way!!!!!!!!

it just reads the temp and rh from a small probe on a wire, just one from the small usb controller...

Actually going to sit down and watch a race for once.....or a few minutes...haha
 
2026 schedule drop today!!! ;rockb

COTA's back and Texas moved to May. Trying to go to both next year ;roc
Still not sure about SD. I want to but it will just be a SVG clinic on how to win so IDK.

How's the search going for the new family member?
We have cats and dogs and can't really see life without them. Dogs are just hilarious and my cats are super weird but also stoners and super chill. Never thought I'd be a cat guy after bad past experiences but this damn tuxedo and his runty sister plus 1 have been awesome.

got a nice bonus on powerball today!

60 point bonus!! sweet!!! i got 10.. haha

i saw some of the schedule man.. got a few emails from nascar and then checked out the homepage and read the headlines.. i think i wanna get tickets for the all start race at dover. thats my next closest track to me after pocono.

wilksborro a points race!??! what?!?! hope that one is before a bye week. lots of pissed of teams after that one for sure!!!

.
.

the other night i took out all the plants and trimmed up the under growth, topped them all off with soil and more importantly positioned all the moisture sensors equally and all the same depth.

man i wanna bring them all home!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

maybe two dogs now... theres a jack russell mix puppy there that just melts my heart bro!!!

still looking and still have to pick up a few things first. but we're hoping soon..
 
Plants sure are looking happy and healthy!
Feeling good about the moisture sensors and being able to help you out dialing in the watering? Notice any oddballs not taking up water or heavy drinkers? That seems like a cool thing to track.

Jacks are nutty dogs man haha! Hilarious little guys who get so proud when they go on walks. Good watch dogs and diggers too! Got a critter under a deck? Send a Jack after it and no more critter!
We used to have a neighbor with a little jack and he was adorable. Always wanted to dig under his fence to come over and play with our dogs.

Man, yeah...I highly recommend going to the All Star race! We had such a good time at the last one at Texas and is still one of my favorite times at a track. It was at night so it was that much more fun watching the cars under the lights.

I gotta say man...North Wilksboro is calling more than San Diego right now.
The time window lines up perfect for next years vacation and that would be a true racing vacation going to North Cackalacki. We could visit the HoF, visit race teams at the shops, and catch a race! That sounds like all kinds of fun and I know San Diego could be fun, worth it for the fish tacos alone, but damn a true racing themed vacation is kinda bucket list type shit! An RV and bringing the dogs would make it even better.
IDK if NC is legal with weed or not yet. probably not but shit that don't matter when it's the home of NASCAR!

Up to 8,900 something in points today thanks to that powerball. Got 45 off it in early July but yeah, 10 every other time.
Looks like another bracket for the playoff will start in a few days as well. Maybe another 150 from that?
Nice call with the #3 in the pool Fucker. I'm inching up to you but it's tight and getting tighter! I really like my picks from here on out though with Larson as my bag man at the end hahaha...

It's funny man but racing is helping my vision.
Over the Summer I broke down finally and got my eyes checked. Pretty much confirmed I need to jump from readers to prescription so I've done that.
Insurance and Costco has been incredible for it. But not for prescription sunglasses. There's limits with my insurance so I've used it for a really baddass pair with the transition lenses and all the bells and whistles one could want in glasses since insurance covered like 60% of the bill.
I still wanted a really good pair of sunglasses but will use my insurance for a backup pair of regular when I can use it again in September so if I go the insurance route, I wont be able to get the sunglasses until September 2026.
So since I've been watching racing and tuning into sponsor products, I've gotten a couple pairs of Shady Rays for my wife and I. They're freaking awesome shades and right there with Oakley or Rayban IMO but a fraction of what those cost.
Couple weeks ago SR sends me a coupon for 30% off and I was like holy crap if this works for scripts, I'm in! It worked and now Saturday my prescription sunglasses will be here.
If it wasn't for racing I'd never know about SR sunglasses and now that I do, they're my go-to choice for my eyes. Usually sponsor products are a bit on the wonky side but Shady Rays has been every bit of outstanding service and product.

some are looking great a couple are still being irritable and not playing nice!! i think my soil is off kilter man.. i think i might have fucked something up along the way on the rebuilding.. my guess is too much bone meal.

i really need to ditch this stuff after this grow and start fresh again... just in time too, i was about to spend $200 in soil...

i am luving those sensors!!! not a single hink or anything, been working great. i went ahead and typed in all the plant names and if i shrink my browser up a little i can male it the exact same layout as my plants!!

if you use it on a smart device you can even use emogis in the name.. i put little lobsters in!! hahahaha

but they're saving my back and my time so right now i'm all in on the ecowitt!!!

We used to have a neighbor with a little jack and he was adorable. Always wanted to dig under his fence to come over and play with our dogs.

i've had a couple terrier mixes growing up and they were all nutty!!! hahaha smart dogs though too!!!

so happy sad news he was adopted by someone else. happy that he has a home and sad it's not the luv shack!! i was more drawn to him than he was to us anyway. and we kinda want a female. not set in stone or anything but if we have the choice we'd like a female.

i've been close to seeing an all star race twice but couldn't pull off the extra vacation time. i saw the coke 600 twice and spent the week there in concord.

so much fun man, they used t shut down parts of the city and was filled with race fans!! even all the local garages would be open with teams hanging out and cars to look at. vendors and food and drinks everywhere!! just a big block party on every street. every street was like 6th street in Austin, but with race fans!!!!

the one time we left a couple days early with full intentions on seeing the all star and our car broke down on the way and never made it. i think that was in 95, maybe 96 i'd have to look at he tickets..

i know the all star race isn't nearly what it used to be but it would still be a nascar bucket list for me to check off.

i'll have to sign up for that playoff rewards.. just got my tuesday trivia points now.

16 teams... win and get in!!!!! darlington is no slouch of a track.. great place to start out the post season!!!!!!!!!!!

i've looked at them a couple times. and yep, because of nascar! i'm horrible on shades bro. i break them constantly... i try to keep them under $7 a pair. wen i find a pair i like i buy two or three and that normally lasts me a year.

i used to buy gargoyles a lot when i was young, they were always my favorite!! i don't know if they even make shades anymore or not..

they would sell the oakly knockoffs in the markets over in china and i would bring home like fifty pair of shades for my friend. you could buy them for like ten or twenty cents a pair there!!!

i have prescription glasses but i rarely wear them, maybe an hour or two a week. i've been wearing contacts since i was a teenager so i'm just used to them taking them out every night and putting them back in every morning. it just feels normal to me wearing them.

i'd sure like to get LASIK one day though..

.

got my nissan inspected for the year... last week i took a wheel off to look at the pads and noticed my one front sway bar link was broke.. never even knew it. totally overrated on that vehicle. put a new one on and still couldn't feel a difference.

took it to my favorite garage and he didn't even look at it. never even beeped the horn or anything.. he pulled it into the garage bay and never even lifted it up, just went in the office for a few minutes and came out with stickers!! my emissions are exempt for me, anything under 5k miles or something doesn't need em.

i got 119k on the xterra now... it's 22 years old this year, it should last another 22 if i take care of it. technically i could get antique plates for it and never need inspection again. our jeep too. thats a 97 and in better condition than the nissan so i just can't get rid of either one.. what am i gonna get some new POS thats built to last five years and then throw away, fuck that!

plus our jeep will out 60ft most cars on the road today... how can i trade that away!!! it's only downside is it's an automatic.. it's my girls car not mine anyway... she says i can't sell it. i'm allowed to drive it if i wax it.

.

i got some new prizes this week to give out.... i bought more budwakkers!!! and a bunch of magnet swag donated by Ninjadip!!!!!!!!!!!!!! everybody's gonna get weird!!!!!!

tomorrow is gonna be like xmas here at the shack! all the delivery trucks will be here tomorrow.. can't wait to show y'all!!!

;pass
 
What are those green plastic thingos in the soil stoney.you dropping pills in there 😄

steroids Max... i put them on the roids!!!! hahahahha

nah, there moisture sensors that read how much moisture the soil has and wirelessly sends it to a receiver.

 
Well that explains everything 😂 I might get one for the wife 🤣

thats fuckin funny Max!!!!!!! ya know it has an alarm you set up so it will send you a notification when she's all primed up!!!! hahaha

Man i gotta thank you for opening up my eyes with the google search.. last night i put the code in and turned it on. so search is kinda working again, i'm having a hard time with the title only option working well but i think it's because our add on enhanced search feature is not working with google. i need to play around with it more and see what i can find. i'm going to have a convo with MoeRed soon and work out some details.

but thanks for getting me on the correct path. i'm gonna reach out off line here to you and see if we can't work something out.

.

ahhhhh yeah... they brought it a day early!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! gettin ready for the next round..... looks like new labels?? something looks different..
