Thank YOU sir!

I am not looking forward to trimming the Double Chocolate. Lots of sugar leaves on this one. Her sister is not as dense, but will still be a pita. Day 32 post flip.

Hope all is well

Hope all is well

Thanks @2Water! I’ve wondered if I should take the time to explain. I had kidney stones Feb. 29th - passed the same day. A few days later I got really sick & was diagnosed with a condition called Campylobacter. It’s not something they automatically check for when one has a disorder of the gut that requires hospitalization, but on the third day of thinking I was going to die, they found that, which explained everything except how I contracted it. The most likely source is having handled something a bird - specifically a pigeon, had pooped on. Contaminated food is the most common source of transmission, but not likely for me. I’m going with pigeon poop. Then a week later, kidney stones again, this time requiring lithotripsy. My ass is whooped. This was a 3 week ordeal & except for being watered, the garden was mostly unattended. I have bugs & seeds present although I haven’t seen any nanners. I’ll try and get caught up today & post a few pics.

I feel so bad for you, I had kidney stones too. Also had that wonderful experience of having my junk get invaded by a wire with a claw attached. Aka lithotripsy and pissed blood for a week. And then they only want to give me aspirin for pain when they sent me home. So I hope you feel better soon and they gave you something strong enuff for pain. CL

What a terrible scare! Just glad you're back on your feet!

I'm glad you're back on your feet too, but if you're on your back that's okay too after all you've been through!

Thankfully you made it through, Thirvnrob. Sounds like a scary experience!

Uh, no, I don't want a hit. You keep that joint for yourself.

Thanks CL. I’ve had stones 12 times now. Most of the time they pass within a few hours. I’ve been catheterized twice & had lithotripsy twice. But given a choice between stones & campylobacter, I’ll take stones every time…

Here they are today, 138 days above ground & 77 days post flip. Starting with the Double Chocolate, these girls thrived until about 3 weeks ago. They started dropping leaves & now most of them are curling up and dying which is par for the course since they’re finishing up. The breeder says 7-9 weeks to flower. I let them flower for 11 weeks like I had planned to. I never gave anything but Cal/Mag & water. Just so happens these girls are the ones in The Rev’s soil recipe. Their buds are fat & heavy & required some makeshift support including the wall behind them. They’re coming down today. Here are some pics…
Don’t know how the pics got inserted ahead of the text…

This post is a jumbled mess!

 

[Thirvnrob]

The Acapulco Gold in the store bought soil required some intervention, the first being top watering once weekly to correct a Cal/Mag deficiency. Thanks @Gee64 for that suggestion. Then I had to top dress the one in the 5 gallon SIP which was the day before the first kidney stone. I wasn’t sure about top dressing her sister in the 10 gallon SIP because she has roots on top of the soil underneath the mulch cover. I wasn’t sure about top dressing right on top of those roots & whether scratching it into the soil would damage said roots. As I was pondering this & who to ask about it - bang! Kidney stone. It passed within a few hours, but really took the wind out of my sails. As I said earlier, I had someone watering them, but the environment was out of whack the whole time. Fast forward to today & I have one girl that’s reasonably healthy & another one that looks kind of “puny”, with around 2 weeks to go. Let’s see where these pics get inserted…

Wherever they end up in the post they look damn good after what all 5 of you have been through recently! Nifty support system you've got there too.

The takedown is underway!

 

[Thirvnrob]

And just like that the Double Chocolate were gone. Out of our lives for the next 7-14 days…

I should’ve cleaned up before taking pics…

Congrats on the first to bite the dust, and we've seen a lot more of a mess than that so don't sweat it!
