mornin

looks like it wont be so windy today...gonna try and power through getting the front yard pruned back and cleaned up,probably going to take the rest of the week as slow as i am...and there is alot to do....first off i need to move the whole compost pile and get new ones started and start sifting out the finished stuff....i really need a chipper/shredder but those things cost bux....i would love to be able to shred the stems and leaves from the crops too and add them to the compost piles....soon...

wanna ride too,all the bikes are cleaned up and i should have fresh tires on the road bike as well soon and the time and money to take some trips...

Last place I worked had a bandit 250 chipper... That thing could winch in
18 inch diameter logs and turn em into mulch....was a beast! Small chipper would mighty handy tho

 

[captain planet]

The extra cold weather here this year really slowed down any decomp in my compost cans since fall....

 

[unclefishstick]

the utter lack of moisture here slows things down...it took all last summer to even get a 4 foot deep pile of stuff going here and i cheated and bought in a truckload of compost...this year i already know where to get everything so it should be easier....i do go through bag after bag of mulch,i need to find a local replacement for that...

hope everyone has a great day!

Just working on a plan for lunch here now . * *Unc not sure how many tree companies you have your way but there usually happy to give you a full load for free, win win, bc usually they pay to dump em somewhere. It's not the best when it's freshly chipped but as it dried out more it's all good.

 

[unclefishstick]

hey,i work,just not at a "job"....i dont really need someone else to keep me busy,i seem to be able to do that fine on my own...

mornin, Sukarillia's lol...

Getting ready to chop the Peyote. These are the pheno's I like the best, there not hard to find. There are some seeds in these. I'm done working with the pp for now. So the mom has been flowered the pics are from her.. There's only 1 PF left in veg might not flower her?. The PFbx1 will be tested at a later time. I have all the seeds I will ever need to continue with this at a later time. Im brain storming now for another project to work with. Might try to improve the OG x Mango. the yield is not so good. I'm wondering how the BI0-D will do as a father?. Might try big bud but that one always seems to water down the strains.

Here is the last pp ready to harvest at anytime now.

some days i wish i was armed out there on the roads,just for the stupid shit i see people do in cars constantly....like i say,we need to be like europe and have a driving permit cost a few thousand dollars...

I've thought this often, both being armed and having higher requirements to get a driving license. Plus the minimum amount of liability insurance in California is like $15,000, which is nothing if you get hurt. I was surprised how little it costs to raise your uninsured and underinsured insurance limits. With State Farm I had 100,000/250,000, and raised it to 500,000/ 1,000,000 uninsured and underinsured. It cost about 35% more to get the higher coverage. Had an asshole hit me at a dead stop at 55mph last year, medical bills in the seven figures. I have a CCL but it wouldn't help me that day. Definitely got to pay attention on the road

 

[unclefishstick]

that is like a redonkulous amount of frost!

im just kidding about being armed,it would be nice if there was better public transit in america,theres no blanket solution for every area and city or country for that matter and americans have a well known dislike for being inconvenienced in any fashion....technology could provide and easy answer at some point with the ubiquity of "smart" devices it seems like simply linking your license to the gps and other sensors if you got too close to a cyclist boom,there goes a point off your license and your bank account is levied a fine...get too many points and your car stops working...something like that...very big brother though....

PF ...i'm just gonna call you frosty from now on ..... everything you take pics of is rediculously frosty !!!


Mornin SUKers ... well afternoon i guess Ahhhhh

Been out cleanin up the white shit again .... only part of snow i don't like is the cleaning up of it . but it is beautiful when its coming down


I'm in cahoots with a buddy here & He's going to hit the GG with Bog sour bubble pollen from his spectacular male . this should be a nice cross , the sour bubble should keep some of the stretch down & maybe fatten up the buds a little , plus if the SB taste transfers over ..... OMG yes !!!

 

[redlaser]

I don't know if you would have heard about it outside of California, but they just passed a law here that requires vehicles to stay at least three feet away from bikes. That law will probably only come into play if someone gets hit though unless enforced. It's not ideal to have to be armed, just a backup to your other precautions. Worked In St. Louis 20+ years and it consistently ranks #1,2,or 3 in homicide rates, gotta watch those statistics.

I have only seen ONE picture ever from PF that wasnt frosty as hell..

and that was a picture of his remodeled bathroom

That gg x sb sounds like a great cross Dan!
I have heard and seen so many great things about SB. I think when i grab seeds again, im might try and grab that, or the SSK,. Your looks like some tasty killer


I just polllinated a few select branches with some of that Sour D bagseed pollen, to test it out. I hit a Scotts OG, a Chocolope, Elephant stomper, and gg4. Just cause those were what i had in flower. Zero planning on those crosses.
Hopefully the male breeds half as good as he looked/smelled. I think you never really know how they'll breed, until you grow the offspring out.

Thanks for the reminder about timers on the pumps Unc. that worked perfectly. I can even control the temp above room temperature with these 20 step digital timers.

grab them both pappy , you will NOT be dissapointed in either strain !!!!

Cant go wrong with BOG. His gear is the closest to what I remember growing up with. With the odd 1 off that come through never to be seen again.

There where plenty of strains in the 80's that where just as good as what we have today we just have more of it, more growers, better growers. No more dry periods that we had to smoke brick weed. very few grew indoor back then. if they did it was not for sale. I remember people trying to grow in the winter with make shift small green houses with extension cord going in with those small heaters on it lol but it worked. the harvest where small because no veg they where seed to flower. There are strains that I encountered back then that would be a dream to find again. I remember some really exotic stuff back then with flavors, aromas and High that where very psychoactive .

 

[unregistered190]

PF, what timer did you get? If Unc recomennded one I must have missed that post.

 

[thewhitelotus]

back from workin for the man....decided to start building a little box to get some veggie seedlings going for the outdoor garden this year as it seems like a milder winter here on the westcoast (now watch itll snow for a week straight)!

anyone have any recommendations on peppers or tomatoes to grow out? getting ready to plant some lettuce, spinach, and radishes here in a week or so since they dont mind the cold weather, but wanted to get some others started so they are a decent size when placed outside

I have a few raised garden beds and quite a few 10-15 gallon containers i use and lookin to try some new things out this year. thanks
