yep. that sucked. if i'd been 10 seconds slower getting in my house, i probably would have been killed. branches from this tree were buried about a foot into the yard like stakes and i had just walked thru the yard. we were without power for about a week.

Good morning OFC. OF, I have been caught in a couple storms in MA. I used to go Lincoln Lab, Hanscom Air Base, and a company, Physical Sciences in Andover.

 

[oldfogey8]

We get some good storms but it’s been a quiet year (though very rainy since the fall). I used to make some laser optics for Lincoln Labs back when I was an optician in the 80’s.

Lol, I first started going to Lincoln Labs in the 80's when I worked for Molectron scientific lasers, I interviewed with Lambda Physik when they were in Acton. But did most of my work there when I worked for Quantel, SA.

Hey OF, I was gonna say it’s been cold here too but only about 35 or so...we do have a north breeze which adds to the chill a little...no ice though...

Yes i been getting a lot of great advice and info. Im getting really anxious to buy my seed and get at it. But i'll be an outdoor grow so i try to be patient. Having a bit if trouble deciding what to grow besides W Widow but i'll get that straight soon and get my order off.

If any of you have Netflix, check out the newest episode of Black Mirror. It is interactive(kinda like a choose your own adventure book). I think a smart tv is needed or watch it using a computer/laptop(hooked up to a tv if you can) so that you can interact with the prompts. Wish I had a buzz on when I watched it. It is ground breaking...

It is now 52 degrees. Weird weather for central New England at the end of December. All the ice was gone by 9 am.

If I was gonna grow outside in the spring for the first time I would be preparing my soil beds right now. Top shelf dirt takes about 6 months to work in before you reap the full benifit from an organic outdoor grow so I always plan accordingly. Do your strain research now if you haven't already, you should start your seeds under 18-20 hours of light to begin with and give them a short night while inside. I usually veg indoors 8 to 10 weeks before I set them out in the weather. So there ya go, Hillbilly style

 

[St_Nick]

I mention this because since I can no longer grow inside I am focusing my efforts on a little patch I staked out while squirrel hunting this fall. I'll wind up with 5 holes, each of 'em will have about 100 gallons of the same soil I grow with inside. I won't have weed 'till Oct. but at least I'll know whats in it.

Here’s Jozi...she’s about 9 weeks old and a Shih Tzu...she’s full of pi$$ & vinegar...she gets kinda cold when she has to go out so since she’s so tiny, we made her a sweater out of a sock...she’s mostly white with a black eye that wraps around her head and some black above her tail and a little patch on her shoulder...she seems to be a good eater, and she sleeps most of the night getting restless a little early...Bucky was always very mellow and laid back so this might be a bit of a change...I was going to wait a while before introducing another pet into the family but my wife really needed to direct her attention somewhere positive after Bucky...

 

[oldfogey8]

congratulations to you and mrs. 2re. when my first american bulldog had to be put down due to a pelvic osteosarcoma, i thought i'd have to wait and morn my boy jacky. it was less than a month before i couldn't stand not having a best bud around so we got our boy jo. life with a dog can be hectic and even challenging but it beats life without one...

 

[thegloman]

Good morning yall!
Hehehe! 2RE That's one fine looking pup you got there!

Nick
You're right! I USED to grow outdoor. You have to get your dirt ready at LEAST 3 mo. ahead of time. 6 mo. Is better.
You're gonna need a dump truck for 500 gal. Of soil.
I always dug holes about 10gal and filled with 1/2 super soil and 1/2 FFOF and extra mycoriza blended in. Set juvenile plants and soak with extreme compost tea. I also found composted forest products makes an exelent growing medium on its own.
I used NO nutes last year and they were Monsters.
