that was a day...

all done,27 plants harvested,9 plants up-potted,one 4x4 fabric bed filled and 9 plants in there...i'll get the trellis screen up this weekend and order another 250 wormies...then the barley straw...next quadrant will be 3-4 20 gallon smart pots with re-amended soil...and i'm gonna try vegging one plant in a 20 gallon pot and top and train it...the other pots will get 3 plants each...experiments...

Good idea

Makes ya accountable …. Ya don’t get it done ya look like a shitspinner …… good for motivation, I like it 👍
i ain't the best grower by a longshot...at least as far as actually tending to the plants properly...but i do run a fairly tight ship...and with perpetual there's always something that needs to be done to keep the cycle going....9 plants harvested means 9 plants have to be ready to replace them,which means the next 9 plants need to be up-potted,and 9 more plants moved into the veg tent after they go up a pot size....and so on....soon i'll have time off from the garden

:smoker: lol,just three more days to go at work!
kidding,it was one of those days...started off loading 3 pallets of coco,perlite onto a trailer,went pretty well,not a ton of experience at doing the "drop the load,back up a bit,lift the load again,tilt forward and push the pallet forward" maneuver but i got some practice today for sure...the bad part was the pallets were in the worst possible spot,super soft area,kept almost getting stuck...
but otherwise a good sales day...cloudy and windy,sorta a grim day for here...at least it wasn't another @#$$@ dust storm

any real joy of driving it around is tempered by the soft ass parking lot and rough ass alleyway we have to use to unload trucks...so it's fun in the sense of moving tons of stuff without fucking up or damaging someones vehicle,but other than that it's yet another thing i had to figure out with very little instruction,pretty much like the rest of the job

She can go all bad very quickly that’s for sure. Fuking up is not the one lol

I had one job where the we had a 2wd warehouse forklift but we were using it on dirt and gravel out in the desert all day.

Got it bogged multiple times and had to go get a ITC with tines to lift the bloody thing out. That was fun but wasted an hour of the day each time it happened. Fkn cheapskates wouldn’t get a machine built for purpose.

I worked for a lilly miller warehouse outside Portland in the mid 90s. Got paid to drive around full throttle on forklifts in giant warehouse and fill orders all day. Everyone was coked out. One of the funnest jobs I ever had. 🤣
I was a forklift operator in an ice factory that had dedicated tunnels for the forks. Ice floors and walls. Man that was fun. Got fired for wrecking a forklift and I'll say that was one of the hardest wrecks I've ever had lol driver side door to the ice wall after a loooong full speed slide. Great times!

:watchplant:just waiting for lights on in the main room then done with the plants for today...
the shop owner made a big barrel of banana ferment,high in K so i've been using it as a final "feed" after the bloom booster tea and with a little coconut water powder...
i harvested some super boof the other day that had gotten that and i swear it smelled like citrus and bananas,the citrus is normal...
