Morning OFC. Lots of transplanting to get done. Plants look much happier after getting sprayed. The William's Wonder smell is...piney almost menthol. The tangies are just so purple. I had to use tomato cages to support the buds. The 1 BoC x true blueberry I put outside is more brownish red than purple, but is starting to look chocolate, lol. The strawberry cookies just reeks of gsc, no real strawberry smell yet.

I'm sorry Rose but that sounds disgusting !- I couldn't drink something like that in the morning !- can I put it in a cap or something !- Weed helps too !-- I been thinking !- that in it's self is scary -- Come Monday morning I'm gonna stir some sheet up with our POA- they messed with me !- Now it's my turn!- If my fence is a foot over on his property - then perhaps all the privacy fences on the street are one foot off the property line !-- This gonna be a mess !- RWS says U don't meet Keef - Keef happens to U !- bout to happen to the POA !-

 

[Keef]

Umbra If I was a magic man - I'd snap my fingers and put U on an acre of prime weed farming land ! Giggy remember that piney taste in weed U were looking for ?-- This T.E. has a little piney taste and it still isn't ripe yet !- it'll be replacing my Widow and I had my girls about two years! Not sure I can improve it - but I gotta try ! --- She gonna be fierce ! Pipe of sugar leaves yesterday rocked my world !

POA, HOA, can all be a PITA. When I lived in Daytona Beach, got a letter from the HOA stating "all trailers must be under the carport". This is during "Bike Week" with several hundred thousand visitors in town. Simple solution, moved the trailer under the carport and put a truck on the parkway, with a truck behind the trailer and a car next to that truck. Just switched things around and now no bitchin` can take place.

On a much happier note. Wife went to her doctor yesterday and the word of the day was GOOD news. She can put weight on her right leg as tolerated and she should be home this coming week.

Glad to hear yoop, hopefully life will get back to normal for you two soon.

yoop thank is good news.
I thought some pix were relevant to my previous post. First ones are tangie, then the BoC, and threw in strawberry cookies and a clusterfunk bud forming on outside plant.

Bud porn !- told U Umbra needs a farm !-- Yoop that's good news !- My mother broke her ankle several year's ago and it never healed right !- she uses a wheel chair but can hobble around with a cane ! Her and Daddy were fishing and when she got out the boat she she tripped and broke her ankle !-- Daddy is still up on the Trinity River catching them big catfish !- When people see them 50-60+ pound catfish the first question is always where did U catch them ?-- Daddy's answer is always the same !- Thru the Lip ! Said he's after a catfish so big that when he bats his eyes- he slosh water up on both banks!

A cement pond party complete with growing greenery to look at. What more could a man ask for ? Oh yeah, an invite. He, he, he.

Keef I thought you guys noodle them big catfish. The Delaware River has pulled a couple 50lb catfish before, but nobody would ever eat them.

 

[yooper420]

Rose,
Thank you, they`re beautiful. Ill be sure to tell her.

 

[yooper420]

Krav,
Thanks for your thoughts. Tried to email you but would not go, said technical difficulties.

 

[Keef]

Yoop - did I screw it up ?-- Umbra - the catfish get over about 20 lbs they aren't fit to eat !-- No Daddy doesn't noodle , tickle, or grapple for big cats !-- He catches them in deep water in the old river channel under Lake Livingston !- No bait just a bare hook !- He drops a trotline across the bottom of the old river channel !- big cats traveling upstream feeding hit the line and slide into a hook !-- My momma's people taught him how and he just likes to show off!

Anyone ever hear of Silica Blast ?- Sweet Raw ?-- U guys know Iwhen I went to RO water my ppms dropped from 230 ppms in filtered tap water to 6 in RO water !- RO itself also dropped my pH from 8.5 to about 5.7 ? add nutes , inuding 5 cc of humid acid , water conditioner ( Aquasheild ) and pH is down around 4.5 !- This Silica Blast is supposed to raise pH !- right now I'm using pH up - potent stuff 1/4 cc per gallon brings a gallon of nute water from 4.5-4.7 to 5.8-6.0-- I don't do nute changes anymore !- They go into fresh nute solution when they go to bloom - I top it off weekly cause they drink a lot first couple weeks !-- 60 days or so later the ppms are only up from 500ish to about 700 ! Wash everything down fill the box back up and do it again !

Yoop and OFC come on by. Water is nice. Bozzo sounds like a recipe for bokashi. Keef, I took my sons fishing when they were young. Maybe they were 10 and 4, we were pulling in catfish 1 after the other. There were other folks fishing all around us, and not a single bite or nibble. Pretty soon they are all crowding us. Still 1 catfish after another. I think we pulled 15 catfish in 1 1/2 hours, no one else a single bite. 1 guy just can't stand seeing a 4 year old catching more fish than him, lol. So he doesn't come up to me, but up to my son asks him very softly what he's using for bait. My sons yells out, hotdogs. LOL

Umbra - I grew up in the country - We had about an acre garden every year - 4 boys can eat a lot !- especially when they burn a lot of calories working !-- Daddy put 6 deer in the freezer every year - his and momma's limit !- I raised chickens, ducks , rabbits and calves for the freezer !- Every year we made a trip to the Trinity river to fill our freezer with fish !- One year when I was about 15 I remember we spent three days up at the big eddy on the Trinity caught 500 lbs of striped bass , crappie and catfish !- by the time we had them processed I was a walking zombie ! One year we dug 30 bushels of potatoes in the rain ! To this day I refuse to shell beans and peas!- did my time !- Come home from school and pick purple hulls till the sun went down - Come home the next day and we got 7 bushels to shell !- It was a hard life for a boy !- When I went to basic training they said most would lose up to 20% of their body weight !- I gained 20lbs!
