Whackin it w the other
lol, true. and when im not juggling chodes im pretty busy being disabled.
zack, i had a stroke a couple years ago from a heroin overdose. i died a bit, and came back. when i did, the whole left half of my body was paralyzed. most of that went away thankfully, but i still have a pimp limp and i cant use my left hand. so things like driving nails ect i get my better half to assist with but 90% of my current build ive done one handed. and 100% of the daily work.
got the plants in the bed last night, ill list the strains out soon. yesterday was day 1 of flower for bed #2.

If that isn't inspiration, I don't know what it. My
to you sir. I wish my obese father could read that post. Just to show him disabled guys can do things themselves just fine.
I wasn't going to overshare on your behalf, and plus I figured it's just easier to always say
"Yankin' it"
Two words

Damn bro. Thanks for sharing that. Congrats on not letting it hold u back. Makes everything u do that much more impressive. Dtog is right, inspirational shit.
Can't wait to see how the new soil does
Pretty awesome that you have come back from that kind of health scare nameless. Heroin is scary shit man. I have a young cousin who is hooked on that shit. Sad to see what it can do to people. So many people let there disabilities rule there life.
(Sorry, don't let my dick jokes distract from the fact that I'm for real glad you're still here with us, getting around with one arm or two!)
For real, .. damn.
For real, .. damn.
lolll, for me the best way to deal with it is to make light. i try to keep myself away from the disabled mind set. having an 18 month old daughter to chase and wrangle has helped alot.
thank you very much fellas for the encouraging words. being a part of this community is a huge source of strength, motivation, and inspiration for me.
ill also share this here because its incredibly crucial information, and statistically we ALL know a person with an opiate problem...
when i overdosed i had been using iv heroin for 9 years. the amount of heroin that killed me was .05 grams. thats a half of a typical dose. 5-20$ worth depending. it wasnt very good dope either, i had been buying from the same batch all week. it was kinda tan grey in color, common in the south. dope that isnt black/brown tar is very commonly cut with chinese fentanyl and mixed in unevenly. this creates "hot pockets" of pure fentanyl. for those of you that dont know, fentanyl is incredibly strong. even cheap imported bulk chinese fentanyl is almost unimaginably strong when injected. . it is measured in micrograms, and a high level trans-dermal dose would be 100 micrograms an hour. .05 grams is 50,000 micrograms. let that sink in...
now thats not to say i shot 50,000 mcg of pure fentanyl, but imagine the potential for error when mixing this shit. then imagine the person thats mixing it. then imagine the cousin, nephew, sister, father, ect ect that you know to be at risk for opiate abuse... the average user is still unaware of these issues in most parts of the usa.
all im saying is, please try to find a way to bring this up. most users will understand a harm reduction mentality... so your presenting it like "im not telling you to stop, (even though you need to) but please be careful for this reason" unfortunately there is no shortage of news stories about bad batches of "heroin" wiping out dozens of users in a single town in a 48 hr period. so maybe you happen to read a story like that in the news, and bring it up casually.
i just want to point out that this (opiate abuse) is a fucking epidemic we all need to be aware of, and the new dangers of heroin use are growing exponentially. please talk to your friends and family about this. even if they dont have a problem, i promise you they know someone who does.

I was floored when I found out it was in my family, not that we are angels, more like tweakers, only 2 people who are current hard drug users. We try to talk to my cousin, but he's a spoiled rich kid who has never had to accept responsibility for anything in his life. His mommy never let his father discipline him. Now his mother is his source of funds. If he doesn't get money out of her head destroys the house. Fucking lame. Unfortunately in California they don't lock you up for drugs. He got stopped with 200,000 dollars (cop estimates) worth of heroin and they let him go
holy crap, they would hang you for that kind of thing here. in cali the heroin epidemic is very real. its cheaper than filling a prescription there and stronger. the mexican tar heroin out there is at least less likely to be cut with fentanyl. they usually cut that with instant ice tea mix. maybe try talking to him about suboxone or subutex when hes ready. if you dont let yourself stay on it for too long its a miracle drug. more than a month or two though and your just trading one monkey for another. but for most truly chronic abusers who will be on something for life one way or another its a far better option than street drugs or methadone. you can be a productive member of society on suboxone, you just cant run out or youll get sick.

Nameless. Truely amazed at your story. Inspirational. I can't even begin to imagine learning how to do things after an event like that. You sir clearly have learned well.
thanks trich! im really glad i shared that with you guys. hopefully it can help someone in some way. ok so i finally took some pics tonight. even though i chopped the glue back a good bit it looks like im gonna have headroom issues... glue bed is 14 days in now and i swear its stretching way more. i dont think the trellis will support it good down the road. well see...
i placed that trellis at 7 days just like i did last round... they look retarded. ugh
and the lights came on while i was shooting
this is the new bed... 5 days i think? theres all kinds of strains in there maybe 11? so canopy will be hella wonky on this one for its inaugural run. anyway plants actually seem ok in the fresh soil. new growth appeared in 3 days and it looks ok thus far...
tangie on the left here
mostly pink cheese in this frame
ok so there we go. things are coming together. i need to work on my veg timing. 2 de cmh lights came in for me today, hopefully i can get them tomorrow. they are going over the glue and im moving the 1k blockbusters over the new bed until this round is done and i can afford 2 more cmh. ok im off to get high and play space in the street... gotta refuckulate the engines

booyah ! looks slick. imho supercrop that glue. done it. works great. & you at the right time.
man ive been supercropping the shit out of her. way more than i want to. i raised the lights 6" instead of the normal 2" increments two days ago and thats when alot of this went down... or up? lol. i dunno but i really dont want to have to build and install a second trellis just for this round... i know if i tell myself that ill just run string to each top when they get heavy ill probably procrastinate and screw it up...
Just another week of stretch to go. Hopefully she starts to slow down in the next few days for ya. How high is your ceiling?
Have you tried listening to the liquor? Letting it take full control?
