Dev - no worries homie, you know yer always welcome at the Tokes'.

BG, Barkeep - thanks fer the thoughts & prayers.

Mrs. Babba (((((((((((((big hugz))))))))))))

H&L, T-dot, Core - thanks bros, it's hard to lose a parent. The missus lost her mom, I'm fortunate to still have them both.

Dad went to his scheduled tests and possible stint today, docs called 10 minutes later and said he was on life support in ICU until they can operate in the morning - they expected 2 blockages but found 4. At least I told him I loved him before he went under, just in case that was the last time he could understand it. Will have more info tomorrow, will find a WiFi hotspot and log a follow up post.

Thanks all for the thoughts & support - I'm sure gonna miss him.

Gotta unplug & try to get some sleep - have a great night all.

Morning Toke,

Your try to stay upbeat about it. I'm sure the doctors are going to try and do everything they can for him. I know i'll be pulling for the old guy. Nothing but prays and good karma for him. I know i love my dad no matter what and last year he came down with cancer and about killed me when i found out about it. The doctors got to it in time and all is well now. I'm sure it will be the same with your father. They will go in and take care of business and he'll be back home in no time. I know it hard and very stressful, but you got allot of friends here pulling for you both and allot of prays coming your way. Let us know how he does.
Take care,
BG

THANK GOD, glad to hear the good news. Man, i know what it's like. Dad had cancer last year and had to go under the knife. Boy, i never seen him so scared in my life. He did well and all was cut out and treated later on with some special treatment. He's rockin and rolling these days. Riding the Hell out of his HOG. It's nice to hear the great news. Before you know it. He will be up and doing all his normal activies soon. You take care and stay strong Toke. Where are here for you anytime.
Take care,
BG

BG - Barkeep - Sacko - thanks guys. Preview of what I have to look forward to again when he IS ready to go on his own terms I guess. But a few more years anyway.

Sacko, watch for notice soon - as soon as funds arrive we'll kick it into high gear.

With the emergency out of the way we'll settle back into the routine, pics tonight to see where we stand.

Homie, when ya gonna git yer ass over here and test out the hookah..... Got a nice ECSD almost ready to chop, wanted ya to check it out - might be a 2-0z'er. Side by side comparison for ya with 4-gal pots and 6" pots. Also did one potted up during flower to show the effects next to a non-stressed one. Overdue for a smoke-out. br26 says howdy, btw. He's back to work & running his ass off like gangbusters.

Have ya heard anything from zepp......one of these days he's gonna break down & show up for a smokeout, or cookout - they both work.

Can't wait to check out the plants. Sounds like the experiments are going well. The hookah looks like it could do some damage. Gonna have to find out the hard way though lol. Talk to ya soon. Peace and *bong* :friends:

While in chat last night a discussion was started about organic techniques and guano feeding, when I realised that some may not realise that if they only use one type of guano problems may arise and they may not see the full potential of their grow.

I thought I'd clarify the guano kit routine that I'm dialing in, for comparison. IMHO the Worm's Way guano kit is the cheapest and easiest way to avoid the confusion and insure that your plants are getting what they need when they need it.

The Guano Kit ships with Mexican Guano, Peruvian Seabird Guano, Jamaican Guano, and Indonesian Guano. All guanos are not the same! Here's my breakdown and the feeding schedule from the kit.

Feedings begin with the Mexican Guano which is High N, for the first 3 weeks of veg. (10-2-1)

The last 4 weeks of veg Peruvian Seabird Guano with high NP is fed (10-10-2), then the 1st 3 weeks of flower Jamaican Guano with low N, high P, and lowest K (1-10-.2).

The finishing last 2 weeks before flush Indonesian Guano is fed which contains the highest P and lowest N & K (.5-12-.2)

In summary, Mexican high N, then Peruvian high NP, then Jamaican high P (low K), then Indonesian highest P, lowest NK - then flush.

I use the tea method, but others use the topping method and simply sprinkle on the pots when watering. It takes a while to dial things in with different strains, we're posting comparison pics as we go.



Stay tuned, more as it happens, see ya in chat...........
