:tumbleweed:mornin campers...yeah,pretty bummed,but not the first hitch in life i've faced...gonna reach out to a commercial grower i know who expressed interest in giving me some space to do living soil organics that happens to be blocks away from the grow shop...i pretty much have all the lights and whatnot to set it up...and get a storage unit so i can start packing stuff up and getting it moved...and my boss at the shop will help out with getting stuff moved and a loan if need be...
so yeah,it sucks but in a lot of ways i wouldn't mind downsizing a bit,the real bummer aside from the hassle is my yard garden....i put a lot of work into it,not to mention a shit ton of money,gonna miss it...

also looking to see if i know someone who would buy the place and let me continue to live here...i do have a few friends in real estate...this place is pretty much a fixer upper...needs two new roofs and a bunch of other stuff,so it's possible to get it cheap i think...

Sorry fishy but if it takes a bit of time to get up and growing again you have your job to fall back on and the connections that go with it. Sometimes a move allows time to clear out the crap we all accumulate. Downsizing every now and then is not a bad thing. As neat and tidy as you are you will make it look easy. One load of furniture, another for grow supplies etc. and a half dozen for bikes and parts. I'm with you on outdoor plantings. Would have moved years ago if I could have taken my soils with me.

Sorry to hear that UNK you have had a really sweet scene going there for so long now. I hope you can find a new place that works that you like. really sucks ass, it's good you are healthy and fit from all that biking.

shit is already hard enough for weed growers, best wishes with the move!

so get this,one of the many many people i have passed cuts to over the years showed up at the shop today...and he has a place for rent! a trailer to live in but also a 30x50 building already set up for growing!
kind of a haul to ride there and into town but not crazy far so very doable...

and he gave me an oz of gorilla glue

and i should be able to work it out that i don't really skip a beat with the grow....with a middle of the night move of flowering plants that is...i can just move enough stuff for the plants,tents and such,and have that set up...

I knew a guy who was selling his house and there was a mortgage inspection when he was at week 7 of flower. He offered to give me his plants. I asked why he didn't just get a trail and put the plants in that for the inspection. He did that and parked the trailer across the street. Problem solved.

I did take his plants he had in veg. I did it at night. The plants were like 5-6 feet tall. I put them in a minivan and drove them to my house. I had them seat belted in. I remember pulling up to a stop sign and having to pull the branches back so I could see out the passenger side window.

:tumbleweed:mornin campers...it's my friday! and almost done with the shop inventory finally...

:unsure: weird how the guy who did dabs all day could have messed it up so badly...anyway,back to garden chores tomorrow,i was thinking i would be killing plants tomorrow in anticipation of having to move,but now i think it will all be good...harvest tomorrow night,so plenty of prep work to deal with to reset...

:tumbleweed:mornin campers...yup,should be going to see the spot tomorrow,and find out how much it will cost for rent...and tomorrow i need to see about renting a dumpster from the city and start cleaning up,throwing crap away,and getting packed...luckily i know people with trucks and trailers who can be bribed with hash...it's still gonna be a shit ton of work...luckily i do have some paid time off coming...

today,a quick wallyworld trip,then a bunch of garden stuff to deal with...

:cuss:that was close...almost had explosive tourette's in wallyworld...

time for lunch then dive into garden chores...

i was looking at where the possible new spot is,it's out of town proper,basically out in the desert,so it's close to one trail network,and a lot of otherwise empty land so there could be some sweet riding right out the door...

Found Alien Romulus on YouTube of all places it must be a bootleg, but the quality looks good enough to get baked and eat mint chocolate chip ice cream for entertainment…

:watchplant:pics when i get done....done with 9 more plants,been cutting the BAS 3.0 into the pro mix hp about 1/3 strength and the plants seem to be extra healthy and the weding cakes i just up-potted were hard to get out of the pots they were rooted so well...
but really no telling why since i've been experimenting with so many things...rootwise microbes,neem seed meal top dress,insect frass,hygrozyme,humic acids,the BAS....and of course not hotter than satan's ballsack all the time...
back to it,this next group got a bit unhealthy looking from being in cups too long but recovering and greening up...and almost out of medium again...
