Great to see you and Molly at it again! That Man Lift may take the budget over $50 a lb., but it looks pretty cool ;)

thanks double j is it the 6mill or the 4mill jus wondering cause the guy at farmtek said the 6mill looks creamy but lets 92% light in so I might order a 20x40 and a 20x30 pieces for my two flea market pole green houses.I also order 40% white fabric from gemplers for the walls was that a good idea what percent does your walls let in since i live in galt im like 20 mins from sacramento so Im wondering whats your take on how the summer is in one of these is 40% enough ventilation and light thanks for all the help double j

Post Op! It's all good!

Post Op! It's all good!

I had a little unfinished business from last season, knee surgery!
Just got home from the hospital. I had my ACL & Meniscus repaired. You can see my surgeon's signature in pen, on my knee, under the bandage.

Should be back on my feet in a few days & can get on with this season.

Do you think my HMO would have denied my surgery if they knew I fell off the ladder in my Ganja garden? lol! Pay your health premiums, saved me a fortune!

Yes she is taking very good care of me, she also happens to be an RN

doublejj
P.S. The only problem is that because she is an RN, she won't let me whine around about my knee too long, she'll want me to start exercizing it as soon as possible. Oh why did I ever send her to school? lol!

ugggh that picture of you laid up in bed brought back some memories! i've had multiple ACL & meniscus surgeries over the years. the damn thing still isn't right ;\ i probably am due for another one, something has been wrong in there for the past few years. don't skimp out on your PT!

Physical Therapy OMG!

Physical Therapy OMG!

I think the Physical Therapist I have, received her training at Abu Ghraib prison in Iraq. The only thing this lady was missing was a car battery & some jumper cables!

Very cool setup. Not sure how you get away with the stink factor, but it looks like fun. It really is a different world in Norcal huh? I'm pulling up a chair.
 
Glad to see you got them planted. They look better than mine did when i transplanted them out-side over the weekend. Wish i was close enough to you to come help you with the chores...nothing like first hand experience to teach better than reading and trying on my own.

I hope you get healed up real fast and keep us posted on your status as well as the plants.

I have to go in Tuesday to have half, or up to all, of my right lung removed. Hope i can bounce back as quickly as you are.

My poor plants were really getting crammed in the grow cabinet. Since it is only 30"x30" the bottom half of each of them (5plants) had a lot of lighter colored leaves because there wasn't enough light getting to them. Just 2 days of sun and most are darkening up nice. A mistake while getting the Hawiian out of the old pot tore about 2/3 of it's roots up. Might be a while till it bounces back. It was the main one trying to flower on me, so maybe it will turn out as an aid to getting it back on vegging.

Now i have to trust my brother to get the watering done right while i am in the hospital. Luckily i haven't seen any signs of a heat wave hitting us so hopefully he will only have to water once while i spend about 5 days in the hospital. They seem to have stopped trying to flower so maybe the slow time while reveging will work out around my recovery.

I seriously doubt that i will be getting any real trees this year. Makes me more anxious to see yours and learn how to get things right for next year. Maybe you can give me enough advice to squeeze around a pound of bud from each plant. If that works out i will invest in getting a larger green house (on soil instead of concrete) going in time for next year.

Think i should have waited till almost March to start them given my small indoor area??? I hope 45 gallon tubs are large enough to get at least good bushes out of these. You can see some pics if you click on my name and go to albums.

I think the PT might be hard on you since the day you graduate is the day you get a good kick in on her...LOL. That was the way it worked in karate class.

Take care and good luck.

Sorry to hear about your knee.

I know your pain. I had double open knee surgery a few years back. Rehab sucks.

Looking great in here!
