[MaPilot]

That's a lot of photos.

Shes like the Hemingway of iPhoto. SG the plants look great, Love that HUGE cola!!!! They all look the same to me too, excuse the racism.

 

[SoilGirl]

That's a lot of photos. looks like a King Johns update with all the photos lol. they all look like they are doing well and are very happy.

Hahahah yeah - I almost filled up that 50 pics per post. The difference between me and KJC is - his pics are fantastic! - and he can sometimes fill up a whole page of journal with 250+ different pics. If you want bud porn, you would be very satisfied scrolling through KJC's journals, just be prepared to be scrolling for a while! I bet we both feel the same about wanting to try to share the beauty of our plants in full - a hard task lol, one that I've so far failed miserably in.

Thanks for the kind words SBG! I'll have to go see how that 96x3 reflector is suiting you I may order one of those.

Lasagna sounds great!
Eggs for Lasagna? Price is certainly right.

Hahahaha right? We get a meal from her every other week about, and bring her a dozen eggs at least once a week. Sometimes a fresh chicken or rooster my favorite thing she makes are these wonderful, fresh-from-scratch cinnamon rolls. OMG.

Shes like the Hemingway of iPhoto. SG the plants look great, Love that HUGE cola!!!! They all look the same to me too, excuse the racism.

Hemingway, Lmao I wish. That guy is incredible, wasn't he on the beach at D-Day or something? (I'm aware he was quite a poet and novelist LOL - but I heard he was at Omaha beach too - makes for an interesting writer...) hahahahah yeah they do look the same when I lose track of the pics >.< except bbk and euphoria. Lucy and Mama look the same except mama buds get fatter.
Thanks for coming by MP!

TODAY'S TYPE UPDATE
So Blue Blood baby has survived, and has an inch long taproot almost overnight! Going to move it into a seedling mix of 3 parts Sunshine #4, 1 part mixed FFOF and GH Ancient Forest, 1 part perlite, with a top dressing of EWC, and throw it under a CFL. Hopefully tomorrow he/she will sprout!

I'm also going to take 2 cuttings off of my vegging Euphoria, and a cutting from a vegging BBK, and soon (In about ~2 weeks) it'll be time for a new journal for my Indoor Grow!! I'm still on the fence whether to keep the Lucy and Mama genetics going. Any opinions there? I probably should wait until harvest to make any big decisions about throwing out genetics, but I know I will have a lot of seeds to try out soon here.

As far as care for my outdoor plants - I've given some BioThrive Bloom, BioBud, and CaMg+ to the ladies I think will be finishing soon, just to help pack on some weight, as Mama and Lucy just aren't bulking up the way I'd like them to. Euphoria, Mini-Mama, and Mini Lucy also got a dose and seem very happy. I'm seeing pistils changing color like mad on the Mama's and Lucy's (least of all on Mini-Mama though, who has colas like coke cans) to this very generic orangey-brown color. On euphoria all the pistils are finally changing color, but slowly, right now they're a really really light orange. The way she's going, I think there's going to be at least 1/3rd amber by harvest - she's gonna be a heavy hitter.

And last of all, today, I took a big top cola off of Big Mama. Gonna dry her right and sample her. Hopefully in my new EQ Arizer - with my Dad. He sampled some euphoria yesterday and said he couldn't even feel his back afterwards. But it also made his amnesia absolutely insane. He would come up with something he wanted, take one step in that direction, then come back to me and go, "Wait what did I want??" - this repeated itself like 2 dozen times last night LOL.

Later on though - he really pissed me off. Decided to get really really hammered on some bourbon, and drop 2 percocets. He passed out right into our open washing machine trying to get up and get another drink. Fucktard. Sorry for the French but UGHH >.< I really hope he will stop drinking and just use weed.
After all that: his drunken drug addled self had the nerve to say, "well who are you to preach to me? You smoke weed all the time! That shits bad for you!" .....
No, it isn't. Yes, smoking is bad for your respiratory system, but I'm getting a vaporizer for that. I do use it a lot, but it isn't ANYTHING like drinking and mixing pills into the equation - especially opiates~!! Are you fucking stupid>??? obviously yes >.< UGH. It's like talking to a really stupid, angry brick wall.

Lol. Well on that note, See ya later! Gotta go help the brick wall stay standing >.<

Phones, technology, freebies, what to do with old clothes, chickens, Hemingway, cinnamon rolls, ghetto chevies, (are they the ones with purple lights underneath that bounce?), and most importantly, the girls. Who, if I can see through the camera fog, look terrific.

Where else are you going to get all that?

Damn, I love your journal.

 

[SoilGirl]

Lol Mr. Teddy thank you! I love that you love it - because I love your journal too, and everywhere you write - its all a whole lotta love - like zeppelin That "lol" at the beginning of this response wasn't my usual Lol which means I'm smiling really big or cracking up at something - that 'lol' meant Lots of Love

 

[COorganics]

Jeez, you should maybe find a place in Denver and do your own thing, IDK. Sounds like a lot of BS there. Lots of jobs for motivated candidates.

 

[OnTheMove]

I new free things!!!!!


Oh yea speaking of clothes I was just making donation bags today and I would like to encourage everybody who can to clean out their closets and follow a simple rule, if you didn't touch that thing in over 2-3 years bag it, some other person will for sure enjoy it. Keeping a light closet also helps organizing and cleaning.

And people like myself who are more interested to scavenge clothes that people dont use, instead of buying them, have more to recycle!

ilove it when im in a city and its clothes day! when all the clothes that people dont use ar waiting to be collected to help save "anmals in the forest" somehow or "blind people" yeh nice one, i have heard that most cases they are just private companys who then shred the clothes, and sell it as eco freindly insulaton for houses, or even worse it gets sent to africa and sold to the rich africans, not given for free to the people who need clothes!

so leave all the clothes out on the street in bags, with a sign saying free washed clothes i even use baby clothes as teatowels and cloths lol!!

Anyway --- High! sorry ive been lame in keeping up on journals! im gettng round to it

I didnt backtrack on your journal to much as im stoned and still need to stretch before i chill out lol but hey it seems i have luck, ill wait for the super dooper update with the techno manisfestation

hope you realize this things are the betterdays, i rememeber you were haveing bad luck people say never count your blessings but i do lol

 

[SoilGirl]

Hi Corgie! thank you for the concern... yeah it can be trying here at times, to say the least. But for now I want to give this a shot...although I agree I should have an escape plan if I can't live here any longer at some point. I'll hold onto a few hundred bucks in case I need to get away, and hopefully I'll figure it out from there.

-But for now, like I said, I want to see how things go. I'll give it... 6 months. That way I can start-to-finish a few plants indoors, see how that works out for me, build up a stash, see if my Dad is really willing/able to quit alcohol and other bad drugs for him and just start using cannabis, see if I enjoy life here and can maybe meet some people my age to hang out with, etc.

Because I mean, if my dad can lay off the alcohol, and my mom comes back to help me make it a home, well... I've got it made. A place to grow lots of cannabis, with good homegrown food, a free place to stay, amazing puppies and chickens, my own space, I have it great here if I can just work a few things out with my family and hopefully start having more of a social life. Maybe I can even find a job here - though it wouldn't be cannabis related >.< >.< .... we'll see. for now I'm keeping all options open. I may even do some online college classes while I'm here - knock out a few extra credits toward whatever end...

Lol. Well, I'm gonna sample a little more Euphoria and ponder my life's meaning and direction some more.

Edit: I didn't see your post OTM or I would have responded to both of you! No problem about not keeping up with journals - I have the same issue. Good advice about giving clothes! And hahahaha yeah probably best to just see my updates once I get a real camera and figure it out (the figuring it out may be harder for me than it sounds LOL)

Yep..things are definitely looking up. What you missed was: All my dad's charges got dropped!!! For real! My indoor grow will go on - and all my plants will make it to harvest unless some freak tornado comes in and destroys everything or something LOL. Yep - life right now seems to be showering me with blessings - and some even from my Dad, although he can be a curse on my life sometimes too. Gotta take the bad with the good though, or not take any of it at all. We'll see how it all works out.

- no one will see this on the other page lol, so here's todays update in type.

hey you should get your dad to eat it, then he will forget about drink when a really strong muffin kicks in enough to make him sleep!

 

[SoilGirl]

Hey everyone! Today is Soil Cooking day!! I'm getting ready to move all my vegging plants outdoors, and they desperately need new soil and bigger pots, they're all surely rootbound by now.

So far here is my mix, which I think is going to work out wonderfully for flowering. I based this off of PeeJay's homebrewed recipes (partially based off his own mix for himself, his mix for Dennise, and his mix for Reg all as guidelines for building this) This time around I omitted our homemade compost because I don't want to disturb it, there's fresh veggies and additives in there that need breaking down, not to mention fresh worms still adapting.

-10 gallons of Sunshine Mix #4's (a combination of SS#4 Organic and SS#4 Advanced)
-3 gallons of Fox Farm Ocean Forest
-1.5 gallons of Wiggle Worm EWC
-1.5 gallons of GH Ancient Forest humus
-1 gallon vermiculite (I know PJ doesn't care for this but I have some so why not)
-2 gallons coarse Perlite
*I didn't add any backyard red sandy clay because there's already some in the SS#4's, I just don't know how much - My dogs tore up my bags of SS#4 and it was spilled all over a part of my backyard. Took me an hour to shovel into a big Rubbermaid tub lol -.- I know I scooped up plenty of the backyard topsoil with the spilled SS#4.

Additives/Amendments:
-6 cups Yum Yum Mix by SoilMender
-1 cup Azomite
-1 cup Excellerite
-1 cup Jamaican Bat Guano 0-10-0
-1/3 cup Peruvian Seabird Guano 12-11-2
-1 cup Dr. Earth's Soft Rock Phosphate w/ probiotics 0-2-0
-1/2 cup Xtreme Gardening Mykos
-1 tbsp. Xtreme Gardening Azos
--- Watered with about 1 qt of rainwater w/ 2 tsp of Photosynthesis Plus Microbe Life - just to make sure there's a good inoculate and to keep it moist for cooking, remixed after watering --- then covered with tin foil lol - to keep gnats away. I'll let it cook for a week like this then it's transplanting time (I know I should do at least 2 or 3 but my plants need to transplanted asap - and I've been slacking until recently)

Here's some blurbs about products in my mix:
GH Ancient Forest (Alaskan Forest Humus) - "Ancient Forest is composed of 100% pure forest humus, no fillers or additives.
(35,000+ species of bacteria and 5,000+ species of fungi have been identified within)

This product has been produced by Mother Nature through the process of natural composting. Since the last ice age, forests have been growing and dying in the Arctic leaving behind accumulations of rich natural humus. When you use Ancient Forest to grow your plants they receive the full spectrum of natural materials that have accumulated over thousands of years of growth and natural composting."

I bought this Ancient Forest as soon as I read about it - I have a bit of a geology background, and something I learned was that places that experience glaciation and glacial melt regularly get amazingly rich mineralized soil/humus buildups. This is why in the next few hundred years, Canada is expected to become the agricultural center of North America, and the "American Bread Basket" is expected to dry up (well - the Ogallala Aquifer is almost already dried up...won't be long until Nebraska is sitting there scratching its head like " Crap.") as we approach our next Ice Age.
Ironic - right now, global warming (or climate change - but its the warming effect doing this) is actually putting off an Ice Age that should already be starting .... we are in quite a lot more of an environmental dilemma then most people realize... I digress though... lol.

Great info ( albeit long...again ) Thanks SG.

 

[MaPilot]

I'll bet you don't like twitter. Who could hold you to 140 characters.

 

[SoilGirl]

Lmao, thanks, and you're welcome MP.
And, no. I do NOT like twitter LOL. that 140 character rule is made for my generation: namely young people with no background knowledge about ANYTHING, and with severe ADD. I mean wtf can you say in 140 characters besides, "me and my bestie ditching class at the mall - taking selfies!! #yay-LOL-look-at-us #I'm-so-cool #hashtagging" or, "OMG did you see that new @Iggy AZALEA music vid with the humping baby?? #retardedwhiteredneckgirlsrapping"
twitter must die. lol.

 

[MaPilot]

ok then.... I won't bring THAT up again.....



Like the movie "ted" Ok thats where we draw the line then....

 

[SoilGirl]

LOL sorry, sorry. Maybe I got a bit carried away. I do have a twitter. Its just - every time I get on there, it makes me hate humanity a little LOL. You should see all the retarded crap people from my old high school tweet about, it's absolutely depressing.

Edit: that's why I deleted my facebook LOL. I go and type something long and thoughtful - crickets. Then some idiot jock from the HS football team types in, "Come on, I'm tired of regular porn. Give me some midgets or fat people doing it, find me a tranny to give me herpes." +250 likes - and no this isn't BS I made up.
Social media is not a place for thought.

 

[COorganics]

What's a twitter?

Hey everyone - I went out and saw lots of amber on Big Mama's top colas, so I just said F**K IT, I'm chopping her big colas, I need something to hold me over, and my vape should be here within the week. I'm not even going to bud wash >.< I just have one gallon of 3% hydrogen peroxide, I need lemon juice, and that peroxide was expensive >.< I'll save that for a bigger harvest.

Big Mama went through a sickly patch, and I officially think this is all she'll bulk up. She smells good enough, but Mini Mama is like a 100 times more defined in her terpenes, its almost like when I put on glasses and can see the intricate definition of everything around me instead of just a blur. Sadly Big Mama, is the blurred version. While her offspring is bulking up more and more, she is aerated and fluffy >.< and going nowhere regarding improvements. If nothing else, she will medicate me for quite a while - by the look of her amber trichs, I will be couchlocked for at least a month LOL
So I'll let her cure til my vape gets here - then its medication station SOCO over here

Maybe someone can convince me to wash - I just don't want to waste my peroxide on her, and I don't have any lemon juice.
I'll add some teeny tiny crappy phone pics after I trim, I'll be leaving on a lot of sugar leaves haha, here's a moment of silence for Big Mama's top colas - sorry girl, I messed you up with those pH adjustments...

Well she will live on, and we'll see if her lower growth bulks up at all >.< but I kinda doubt it.

 

[MaPilot]

Congrats on the harvest. we need pics now!
