This new job darlin made me get just sux ass :moon: don't even have time to ride anymore. When I do get the chance it brings out the kid in me and I start playin. If I could get 2 more horse power outa old blue she would do the bunny hop I'm sure of it. Front wheel comes up no problem but she acts like the back wheel is just at the verge of coming off the ground with just a small crack of the throttle. Ya don't even wanna try to get a hole shot. I can run most any bike down in the 1/4 but they can have the hole :D

i noticed that about jobs,they just sort of suck the life out of you,all for what generally seems like very little money for the effort...but those bills and stuff have a way of piling up dont they?

even when it sucks riding a bike is still way more enjoyable to me than being stuck in a car hurrying around to get nowhere...i dunno,i guess it just provides some perspective,it certainly gives you plenty of time to think...

whats this job shit ya'll are talkin about ??? i vaguely remember something about having to go somewhere every night around 5pm .... but can't for the life of me remember what or where it was :biggrin:


I ain't even got no wheels right now ! i gotta borrow the ol'ladys ride when i need to go somewhere . :shucks:
i keep giving the damn things to family in need ! my youngest got my van cuz he's got the new baby & his jeep shit the bed . so rather than cart him his girl & the baby around everywhere .... i just sold him my ride dirt cheap .
i'll just buy the wife a new ride later & confiscate her van :biggrin: she always manages to get the new rides & I get the leftovers .... but this leftover is kinda sweet , so i don't mind as much :)

then in the spring if nobodys got their hand out again , i'll grab my 2 wheeled ride . been awhile sense i've had one & its about time for me to be sporting an FLH anyways .

Theres enough big bikes around here for sale at a reasonable price that i can get one to just ride for now & when i do find a garage .... that exactly what my plans are . cuz the bike i want can't be bought ... i have to build it . the Exile fat bloke is close .... but i want the seat & rear fender & wheels different but keep the softail for my old fat ass :)
they've got a decent rolling chassie that i can work from to get what i want done . & I can get the 300 rear softail kit that will bolt right up to that frame .

My biggest problem with building the bike i want is to find someone to fabricate the tripple trees . but i've seen it done , so i know somebody will be able to help . heres one style front end i was looking at , but i don't like the way they did the trees . i'd want it all one wide piece instead of 2 pieces bolted together .
ignore the fancy frame work ... thats not my style , but the fat front end is what i'm after !!! 200 or 250 wide front , 300 rear .... a fat tire scoot . will i ever get it done ??? who knows , but i'm sure as hell gonna try :)

Hello All, Just got back from the hydro shop........went out of curiosity as I am kinda an internet shopper kind of guy. Pretty cool to see everything in person and kinda surpised to see the diversity of people that came thru while I was there. Most helpful person was actually a regular customer....mis-took him for an employee. Ended up buying a TDS meter, still have to compare prices on nutes and such. Y'all enjoy your weekend!

Sad day indeed !!! had to chop down 7 really nice looking plants today cuz they were all dudes !!!!

3 princess13's & 4 caseys queens .... i'm left with 1 nice female from each strain . but thats my typical M/F ratio .... so i'm kinda used to it . but it still sux !!!

1 out of 8 CQ's & 1 outa 5 P13's




I really hated chopping the P13 dude on the left , he was massive , stunk like heaven & was outgrowing my room quicker than all the rest !!!










& heres the 2 ladies that will get up potted tonight & a few cuts removed to save the line .

I never realised that Canna could take low temps. Remember the tiny volunteer plant out back that was frozen and covered in ice when the temps were in the 20s?

I should have taken a pic today of it. Its comming back! Its got fresh leaves blowing out now!

Remember the 15 plants, up to 2.5 feet tall that have been out in the unheated greenhouse, when the temps dipped into the mid 20s?

They are going into bud. They somehow were not affected by the cold

Yes they are just beginning to throw healthy hairs and go into bud now.

Got the new TDS meter out and ready for a few questions.....
My tap water checks @ 560 ppm, My usual mix per gallon I have been using the last few weeks has been 6.6g Maxibloom (5-15-14), 10 ml Cal-Mag per Gallon pH'd to 5.9 to 6.1 or so. The TDS on this read 1200 ppm.

I am on day 31 flower and plants look really happy with this mixture. I have a bloom enhancer (Bloombastic 0-14-15) that I would like to start adding. Do I add this on top of my normal mixture until I get a certain PPM? Or should I cut back on my Maxibloom when I add this to keep the 1200 ppm they are happy with?

My medium is ProMix with added perlite by the way.

:thank you: Y'all
