Jozo-Sha's 4/20 Journal

[Jozo-sha]

Oh dear, still can't find the SD card, and have been to swamped to go buy another. Plus, I have to replace the two upper trail arm brackets on my Jeep - things finally rusted/snapped the welds to the frame, more money I need to spend that isn't on a luxury

Sorry for the crap-tastic photos, all I have is my phone to rely on:

The Purps #2, The Purps #1, some catnip sprouts(!) and Sour Cream

Orange Bud - still drying tonight:

Got two purps #2, a sour cream and the almost-done-but-needs-a-bit more-time Cali kush are in the 12/12 tent. I'll update as I can, when I'm less lazy and bother to get a new card for the camera.

Looking good JZ.

How far away are you running your lights?

By the time the grows finish, they're about 6" above the plants - hence my need to implement some scrog, methinks

 

[nijntje]

Another nice lookin grow, man!

Little tough to get done eh, when new meds are drop-kicking JZ ass?
Catnip up yet? My cat deserves such, but hasn't given me a written request.

Your phoney photos show all with a twist, new camera card not needed.
Maybe a cup of coffee? Motovate your fingers to dance a few words.

Heya nijntje! I though you moved to España? Thanks for the props!

Well, turn out the parts were cheap, and the welder is a fellow caregivers patient! 14gms of Orange Bud and a 12 pack of Bud Light sealed the deal! The Wrangler no longer feels like it's about to fall apart (and by all accounts, it really was!) and he's offered to shore up the frame in other spots for some more OC+ grown goodness.

Catnip is growing -- like a weed, I suppose; the cats are now torn betwixt the goofy sleepiness of cannabis leaves or the frenetic off-the-freaking-walls OMFG rush of fresh catnip I forgot to take snaps of that stuff tho - soon enough.

Been busy as hell at work. I came up with an actual useful idea for a project that costs nothing to implement and benefits *all*, so had to write a proposal (I've never done this shit before, BTW), present it to the head of my department. He loved it, went before the company execs ("The Bobs") on Monday and was officially approved yesterday

Still no new SSD card, but the phone-y camera reveals this glory in the tent:

And, yes...some porn...

The two latter are BC Bud's 'Da Purps' - the mix is Sour Cream (gone wild), DP (fimmed), DP (Wild shit) and Sour Cream (resurrected when my pal nearly killed it). Pulled 45gm from the Cali Kush, being used for bartering for other items (like the new computer!)...

Last item: I've been diagnosed with cervical spine spondylosis. Basically, the "Dowager's Hump" of fame - usually reserved for 65+ folks, but hitting this 48-yo. Coming up is 'facet joint' injections of steroid and anesthetic. Even though the cannabis staves off some of the pain and nerve weirdness I've feeling, I've been absolutely miserable the past 6 weeks or so.

Anectdote:
Doc asks, "What do you do for pain, usually?"
JZ: "Cannabis."
Dr: "Oh?"
JZ: "Yeah, without it, I have a stumbling foot-slapping walk and poorer balance."
Dr: "Well, that's different than the norm! Usually folks smoke and then start stumbling!"
<shared >laughs>
JZ: "Nothing works better, since I hate narcotics..."
Dr: "Just keep on with that then, if you need anything 'big pharma', let me know"
<both laugh more>

All in all, nothing to really whine about, looks like I'll end up a permanent card holder

Sorry about the diagnosis brother...not that you have a diagnoses for your problems...dammit...hopefully you know what I'm trying to say!

At least it sounds like you have a good doctor...I haven't seen mine in years...I joke that the only way they'll get me to see one is if I'm unconscious and the ambulance takes me in!

The girls are looking great, as usual!

 

[Propa Gator]

Sad to hear of your miseries, glad to hear of your OTJ contris
Writing proposals has got to beat busting heavies, eh?

" Pulled 45gm from the Cali Kush, being used for bartering for other items (like the new computer!)..."

When our not-so-honorable elected officials finish stealing our money supply, this gold standard will help.

JZ,
My 1st stop on my rounds of getting back into the journals. I will have to read through it all before I say anything, but the pics on this page are looking very nice. Glad to see you're doing well!

Steve

 

[nijntje]

WOW man, you have some pretty little ladies! Loving your updates. Can't wait to see more!
Really sorry to hear about your health I've been using edelweiss for my back lately and it's really been helping, I barely hurt at all anymore. Maybe something to try?
I did move to Espana but I moved back after a year like I originally planned.
Come chat me up soon! We gotta catch up cause I've missed you.
Btw, check out my grow journal... would be great to get some feedback from you since your grows are always so awesome haha <3

 

[Jozo-sha]

Pix soon.

[Mr. Krip]

Hey, JZ! Just dropping off some love, Brother!
Sorry to hear about your medical issues. Your girls are looking great, though!

 

[Jozo-sha]

Chopped everything - being so out of it with PT/Shots, etc., I was negligent. Spider mites out the wazoo. I'll regroup though; besides them damned mites, the heat has been unreal. Probably shutting things down until the heat breaks; I got the technique, got the stock, just need to beat the heat!

[Jozo-sha]

Found my memory card for the camera Heat is starting to abate, so I'm stripping down the tent, cleaning/sanitizing everything, and since I finally got my 2x2 tent back, I'll be moving my sole mom into it (Sour Cream BTW, blew the synapses of all who tasted it), then starting my Fall through Spring cycles.
After I get shit all sorted and started, I'll post some new shots.




- JZ

 

[Jozo-sha]

Finally a break in the heat and the craziness with my health and work - I'm setting up the 2x2 finally! My sour cream mom is still in the tiny ass pot with half-ass dirt and some OC+ prills sprinkled on top; time for a root pruning and settling her into her now coir/OC+ fabric pot. I'm not sure yet what the other two moms I want to grow in small tent will be, likely faster flowering indica or indie hybrids, I have a boatload of seeds to choose from, so the research part is on too!

Pics in a day or so.

Summer's done, time for fun. Sour Cream was all that? I had some, and never flowered any. Shame on me
Lucy is a quick-growing butt kicker, and will play a part in my future. PE stinks too much to handle or hold.

I'm glad you're feeling better

I still have a buttload of PE beans, but have op'd for a pair of strains for moms: Pineapple Chunk and Critical Kush. I have a pair of auto flowers in process too, (Auto Kush Ryder and Auto Cheese) so am waiting for those girls to get big enough to add to the main tent. Work has been sooooooo busy, I'm now head of a support team, so I have to re-allocate my clock I've not given up; for sure - slight spider mite hits, so I did a nice drench with Azatrol; should stomp this little fuckers out!

Updates as time and bugs warrant.

[Propa Gator]

Being busy is good, right? I'm happy for you, I guess. Sounds like your employer found the other end of your wick to light
Thanks JZ, for the reminder about Azatrol's efficacy. I've been too infested to propagate for over 4 months. I kill the movers, but eggs survive my gas attacks.
