I lost 4 of the rooted clones from the super high heat. They don't always make the transition from cloner to soil anyhow. Hopefully this group makes it. Right side are the last of the rooted clones to be transplanted and I shut the cloner down.

On the other hand. My back that hasn't sounded off in a month of Sundays decided it was going to squawk yesterday. That low back sciatica pain that all you can do it drop back on the bed and bite your hand to keep from screaming. Didn't do nothing to set it off that I can figure so I'm walking on glass today to not wake it up again.

My left shoulder started screaming as well and that crept into my head for a low-grade brain pain to top things off and while it finally eased enough to let me sleep last night after a fistful of meds I don't like to take were consumed It has gradually cranked back up again after today's physical therapy session.

Took one of the few remaining Oxycodone I've horded from the surgery as they seem to have way more punch than the hydrocodone versions I get for the adhesions. Damn I hate pain.

Had a chance to see if I can clutch the big truck and yes!!!! Not well but enough and it'll improve as I get more functionality back on that leg. We keep increasing the weight / resistance / reps on the various machines and I push until it won't do no more. I can almost pull the leg into the car without using my hands to lift it. Stairs are still a royal pain as the leg doesn't respond promptly. Has like a 2 second delay between urge and actual motion.

Looks like the only real spot of damage so far.

Clones have started to put on some new growth.


PXL_20240929_220012805.jpg


Fired some of the newest beans I was gifted by a fellow grower.
4 per cup.

This strain is easy to track as it only does a small finger count.

PXL_20240929_220115504.jpg



3 or 5 per. None of the 11-finger stuff here.

Today's therapy was brutal with more balance work on one foot with eyes closed. Sheesh. Like to fall on my ass more than a few times.

Glad to see you got some plants getting ripened up well. Sounds like its taking some time to adjust. Hope you get back in your rhythm and things get easier for you. Praying for you, my friend.

Will be great to see some new seed going! How long will they vegetate this time of year before flowering? What strain are they, Sativa Candy Chunk? :smoke:

16 new seedlings that a kind friend (hint) sent me a few months back.
Most of the time I try and run a 20 week cycle. 10 in veg and 10 in flower. Since my smoking pal moved away and I only grow for my own needs now I don't need to push out 4 sets per year like I've done for so long.

Off season sets now are more for sexing regular seedlings and i'll let them veg longer then I used to. I'm not running the veg shed as I don't have that helper dropping by every day and the hot lights in the shed will fry a dry plant in a few hours. Much slower veg growth outside under a winter sun and the cooler days.

Awesome, just ended the season here today. Thought about doing some indoor off season, but could use a rest

4th

PXL_20241007_153227354.jpg



7th. Today. Grow my children!
Topped up the cups with soil. I've learned to start them 4 to a cup and separate when they break ground. Plant deep in a 1/4 cup of soil. They always stretch and when I finish fill the cup we have a near perfect start with no leggy stems.

I'll set them in the sun again today as they love that stuff.

While you're ever vigilant against the crawling menace, this I found on Reddit made me smile.
View attachment 19081236

A few more spots of caterpillar damage showed up but all in all not too shabby for as little care as I was able to give them through the summer.

Walking to the short end of the block twice a day now. About 200 steps each way or 2 fireplugs apart. Therapy keeps raising the machine weights and doing more tilting platform work with eyes closed. 16 inch square curved on the bottom by about 2 inches.

I keep practicing clutch motions with the leg but it's damned weak. I still need to assist it most of the time getting in the car. SUV has a heathy step up.

Surgeon visit and a CT with contrast and an EKG first. New procedure to me with the EKG at the same time. I'd have shaved my chest if I'd have known. Not only the sticky sensors but an 8-inch strip of tape on top of them.

Implant looks great and I'll see you in a year. WOOHOO. He pointed to the cane and said is that all you are using? Yepp I says. I didn't think you'd recover that much this fast. Again WOOHOO!

Glad the seedlings are doing well! The line has pretty good vigor even though its inbred. The're going to yield well in the winter since they are acclimated to shade. Keep them fed, keep them moving. Thanks for the tip on the seedlings. Looking great! Thats always a possible weak point when they are lanky and it prevents that.

9 more days put on some growth even under the tired CFLs.

Looking great! Getting some wide leaves, very healthy seedlings! With it being inbred, have a few minor leaf abnormalities. Sometimes they are a little wavey, or one leaf will be slightly deformed and it will grow out of it. Severe mutations are culled, but if its minor, they are allowed to remain in the gene pool.

Can't wait to hear what you think of the potency and flavor. Thought about getting some growing indoors, but will be prone to messing it up. Will let the winter go by I think before starting any more.

Thanks for the update, they are indica with a sativa energetic effect, can't wait to hear what you think! Everyone here loves it. Its one hit quit and lasts a long time without much dissociative effect. Great therepeutic strain from what I can tell. Anytime of day type. Enjoy
:smoke:


When are they getting transplanted? I would move them soon if possible.

I'll actually let them get near root-bound before transplanting. I've found the only time I shock the plants is when the roots get messed with, As long as the soil has enough roots to hold it solid when I decant the plants they never miss a beat and power up from the fresh soil and the added inch of grow space. Usually around 8 inches tall for the 3x3x3 inch cups they start in.

Cool, yeah I have grown 8 inch transplants in 3 x3 x5 inch Anderson bands. Will do well. They are off to a great start. Much better than my late winter trials. Tempature is important. Also I didn't have very good lights. How many cfl tubes do you have?

4 23 watt jobs that date from 2013 that have way to many hours on them but still get the job done well enough.
