Good afternoon pop_rocks.
All is well here and Rufus is doing great. He's getting a lot more grey hair in the face but still dances around when excited or wants to go out or be fed. I feel a little guilty that we have had to keep the walks short this week due to the pain in my toe, but I'm sure he understands.
Yes I've been thinking about using a tent for drying for a while now. My humidity is always a bit low, especially in the colder months, and if I had the air exchange fan cycle on and off I could slow the drying process down a little. I'd have to monitor it for a few hours and figure out how much on/off time but I'm sure it would work well. And to be able to filter the air would be nice, that way I could turn on the cloths dryer and not have the pot smell coming out the vent and risk my neighbors smelling it.
40-60 sounds really cold for southern Cali. I bet it's kind of refreshing to have the cool nights. I hope all is well with you and your family and the gymnastics is going great.
I found a pic on the internets yesterday that made me laugh and you migh get a kick out of. I think it's just ment to be fun and not at anyone's expense.

Update and pics
Good afternoon friends.
Time for a quick update. The girls in flower are doing well and really stacking the buds. I think it might be another good harvest coming up here in about a month. If the clones swell like the seed plants did they should be chunky. They are looking a bit more frosty this time too. The other thing that sticks out is that I have yet to find a single ball or nanner on the clones and I found quite a few on the same plants from seed. I have read that a seed plant that has intersex traits should show the same traits from clone. I'm not complaining and I hope that it's just not a case of my vision getting worse LOL.

those are some nice fat plants bro!
i especially like the trellising you have going on there!
the plants look nice and healthy, really green
what are your temps like right now?
one thing thats good about the colder months is that i can get than nice fade to the plants and see some really nice colors in the last few week of growth
certain plants will have color no matter what but ive seen even "lime green" plants turn purple with low temps
that pic is spot on,fiddy!
you can see the out of towners a mile away by the way they are dressed, or not dressed
the only thing wrong is that i dont even own a big puffy jacket like that
i have this sweet london fog number that keeps me warm in the cold or rain but its kind of light, nothing like the true goretex jackets that are rated to like 0 and below
glad to hear rufus is still dancing around and having fun, im sure he is in for a treat when the temps warm up and you guys get to take longer walks
/its funny how much something as simple as a toe can hurt so bad, but ive been there
being hurt sucks but give it time to get better and look forward to nicer weather to come

Good afternoon pop_rocks.
Yes these girls sure did get big in a hurry. They had a lot fewer leaves than anything I'd ever put in flower and I had been wondering if they had enough solar panels to get big fast but they had. All that twine is keeping these girls from flopping over and growing allondpg the ground like a vine, that's how floppy these girls are. It's working but not ideal for my grow style. Looking forward to growing some stronger plants next run.
I'm not sure on the temps I haven't looked in a while but spring and fall is the sweet spot for my lowest temps in the basement. In summer it's warmer, as it is in winter because my boiler is down there and all the hot water and hat heats the whole house runs through pipes down there. Maybe I'll get some color expression on this run we will see in a few weeks. I do like the purple coloration that I've seen in pics of plants finished in cool environments.
I'm glad you found the pic funny. I burst out laughing when I saw it because you had mentioned the cold snap there last week. I think I got rid of all my cold weather gear and boots when I moved to Cali and I don't remember it getting cold enough to need much of it up in Oakland. I think there were 3 or 4 morning that I saw frost on windscreens as I headed to work in the morning in the few years I lived there. Now I ride in much colder weather here and need some pretty good gear to keep from freezing my ass off.
I think my toe is starting to heal up some I'm not even limping today so hopefully just a few more days and I'll be back at the gym. It's defenatley looking like some spring weather this week and weekend with temps in the upper 40's and around 50. If this keeps up Rufus and I will be going for long walls again soon. It's going to be too muddy to play much disc golf or mountain bike for a while so we will have to do neighborhood walks for now.
I hope your week has gone well and looks like the weekend is just about here.
Hey Fiddynuts, those girls are looking good. Looks like you got the next run going well. It's always nice to be able to flip quickly after harvest. I am going to flip my next round in the next week or so. I popped some sour grapes last week out of 10 I got 7 above ground. I went with the sour grapes because they finish in 50-60 days.
We are having a birthday party for my baby boy Saturday. Hopefully I will have some stuff dry by then. Getting tired of buying bud. I am going to bag it up and trim it as I have time. This way I don't have to depend on idiots to get it all trimmed.
Hope all the jungle mates are having a good week.

Sounds great, I can't wait . We will shoot down to San Diego and Kidnap Pop Rocks. It will be trimmed in no time. Ha ha
im glad to hear the toe is getting better
if nothing else, white tape the shit out of it
the cold has brought back some old friends of mine, the back injury, the broke foot and the bad knee!
it feels like someone drove a nail through my foot and my knee is acting up again
im trying to adjust to the cold so im not wearing too may layers, a long sleeve over a short sleeve witha hoodie and watch cap
/i can hear you northerners laughing
but hey, its san diego!
at work i am wearing short sleeves and just embracing the cold
now that its been a couple weeks its not that bad
is your heater a gas heater?
ive used gas burners to generate c02 and they actually do wonders
/there are many other ways to augment your environment
yeah i will have to post a pic of one of my screens one of these days
its a B' to keep canopy heights even if you are growing a variety of plants so you end up having to get creative
/one run the mrs called all the twine and twisty ties my little spider web
hope the week is wrapping up nice and you are all set for your weekend, f'nut
lets finish off strong and get on to the fun!

Deal
I keep the dab rig in the shed, with my personal stash of rosin. Have at it. Just keep them trimmers snipping.

Good afternoon Packerfan.
Thanks! Next up is the red eye Jedi you hooked me up with so we will see how they do. That reminds me I have to take cuts of them this weekend so that they should be ready by the time the 91sl's finish. I think I have them pretty healthy so I'm hoping for quick roots on them, and the 1 GSC I have going too. Also looking to pop the granola funk seeds this weekend too. If I have problems getting the red eye Jedi to root I can always just grow the GF's from seed, but I'm hoping that won't happen.
I'm looking forward to hearing how your sour grapes grow and how they smoke. I've heard good things about them. Gotta love quick finishers!
I hope your party goes well and your boy has a great day.

Good afternoon pop_rocks.
I'm sorry to hear that your injurys are bothering you. I think your right that the cold seems to do that with old injurys. A lot of people actually move to the south from up here for relief from the aches and pains. Also damp weather seems to make some people's pain flair up. I hope you feel better soon brother.
Layers are the way to go. It's so much better to wear 3 thin layers than 1 thick one, and more versatile. I know right where you are coming from adjusting to the temps, when I lived in Oakland the days where it was 40 and damp felt as cold as a 10 degree day does here.
Both my boiler and hot water heater in my basement run on natural gas, I should really get a meter and see how many ppm of co2 I have down there. I've heard that you should try to get everything else dialed in (feed, temps, humidity, ect) before bumping the co2 and that they like it a little hot when supplementing co2.
Haha spiderweb is a great way to put it. I have a feeling that mine will look like that by the end, I seem to have to add new twine every time I look at them.
I got a couple more sour grapes above ground now. Pretty excited about those. They will be going in to flower pretty quick, the heat is coming soon. I am thinking about using the new led light to flower them.
I hope the red eyes get going well for you. It's supposed to rain during the party, so that's a bummer but we will make the best of it. Hope you are healing up well.
happy birthday to your little guy! p'fan
hope you are working your way through your triming
/did you end up cutting that one guy loose?
ive only heard good things about sour grapes too, so i am looking forward to hearing what you think about them
thanks for the kind wishes, fiddy
im getting along and dealing the best i can
all just a part of getting old and im sure we all have our battle scars, but yeah the cold and rain dosent help
/kind of makes me appreciate the warm weather more now
im still enjoying the change in season, even if it means a few aches and pains
yes, c02 works best when you have everything else dialed in and im glad you mentioned how c02 helps plants tolerate warmer temps
do you have any plans for this weekend
mrsChicky and the girl are going to this amazing race party but with my back i said i was going to sit this one out
its cold and rainy outside, but im listening to some old pixies and enjoying a little smoke before the others get up
hope you have a great weekend

Hello TribeHappy Sunday, Yeah getting older aint for sissies I crave the high pressure anything above 30 and the arthritis tamps down. Warm helps too but the pressure seems to be the key to me. I continue to search for a strain that helps but so far the only thing that works also puts me to sleep.
I wish i had Packer's problem of too much to trim up. I still have some gaps in my supply and been buying some of last years crop from friends. A lot of PM around last summer so I don't get any from the guys I know had it. My ak47 is about two weeks away its only one plant but will be welcome. The candy kush white tips and hollow stem seems to respond to the ej microblast well I doubled up the dose and the tips are green won't know if the stem is hollow till chop.
Hey Fiddy tape that toe to its neighbor and let her rip you have such great momentum on your weight I hate to see it slow down. You know the first few pounds are the easiest to loose then it slows down. 5 a month is a good level to loose so don't get down on yourself too much for taking a rest. Portion control is key, I struggled with my weight in my 50's and found just eating the same but less worked well, removing foods you love just makes you want it more.
I did pop my gogi and elphinstone not my best effort I only got 5 of 12 gogi 9 of 11 elph. got above ground but thats not enough to fill my room after culling males so I dropped a pack of white skunk by LBL from bad dawg on the full moon. They were freebies from dragboatjeffy at glg. I changed the startinHg mix from my regular used media to a new brand for me Vermont Compost Fort Vee mix. I have seen friends use it and it comes highly recommended. We will see if the Long Bottom Leaf cross from dbj likes it. My goal is to get them all in big tubs by early April.
Happy Birthday little packie
I hope Floridin is well

Hey Pop Rocks, party went well. It was cold but we made the best of it. My boy had his buddy from school come to the party, my boy was excited. The were like 2 peas in a pod. I am waiting for the bud to dry, I hate trimming when it's between wet and dry. It gums up the scissors constantly. It's been so cold it will probably not be dry till next weekend. I am probably bag it up and trim it as I have time. I am pretty much, done with dude. I can't stand lazy people. I told the kid to go apply for a job at the local hydroshop, they have been looking for a new guy for months, dude can't get off his ass and go get a job. I can't believe this kid would rather live off with his mommy and daddy, than get a kick back job. They keep askibg me when he's going to come in.
I am going to be flipping the big room soon. I am pretty excited about the sour grapes to.bummed to hear your back is bothering you. Seems like pain is unavoidable as we age .
I am totally bummed I was supposed to go see Metallica in Vegas. But my cousin is having his check garnished for back taxes. Apparently the IRS is taking everyone to the cleaners. They got me for 1100$.
.
Fiddynuts hope the foot is getting better. I am having issues with my hands. It's so dry I have cuts and cracks on my hands. I got a aluminium sliver in my middle finger. I need to dig it out, not looking forward to that
Rodehazard, I hope you find a strain that will help with the arthritis, have you considered something with a high cbd level. I have a pack of zero dark 30 x long bottom leaf I got from glg. If you want to take a crack at them you are welcome to them. The zero dark 30 is supposed to be rich in cbc. Cbc doesn't get you high but is supposed to work wonders for pain, without the sleepiness. I have similar issues I just go to sleep if I smoke to much. Rosin/wax seems to be less sleepy that might be another option. Rosin doesn't make you sleepy but it fucks me up.

im happy to hear your son had fun on his special day!
thats so cool he had his little buddy over! i was the same way when i was young
its nice to have a lot of friends, but growing up i always had one or two really good friends i was close to
/i still know one of them to this day, we have been friends over 30y
sounds like that clown trimmer is just dead weight and not worth the effort
i like to do the first trim when the weed is still wet too
that sucks that you are going to miss the concert, taxes here in Ca suck
i have no problem paying my fair share but we are getting ripped off big time in this state

I think it's a conspiracy, making it so expensive you can never afford to leave. "Hotel California" you can check in whenever you like but you can never leave
thats a great suggestion, p'fan
have you tried any of the high CBD stuff, rhode?
hope everyone is starting their week off on the right foot
it almost feel like spring is in the air and the warm/dry air is back
/i know because i was getting shocked by almost everything i touched today
"...stab it with their steely knives, but you just cant kill the beast"
hotel california all the way p'fan maybe one day things will go abck to the way they were, but i doubt it very much
like maybard said, maybe its time we learn to swim (in arizona bay)
/try not to stare into the abyss too long, brother
