It will go away in a few years.




Too soon?



Stuck the landing.

Good shooting, Ace!

In answer to your question...
It looks like an elephant stepped on that plug.

Did it look like this?

Needed another cup reading this!

If it’s good I’ll send you some to try. Looking forward to adding all those mini frosty buds to my kief bag too.
Have that on my to do list but busy with Christmas stuff and trimming the last two plants and planting my shrooms tomorrow. Got really nice mycelium and cooking substrate right now to hopefully use tomorrow…

I wore the 8 track change dingus off the tape and you had to hit the track change or find you'd been listening to track 2 for God knew how many hours.
Have an appointment with the eye surgeon this morning. Pre op for cataract surgery. Gonna get this done asap. Will be nice to see again.

The entire process including new glasses will take awhile however. In the meantime I will have my nose up against the screen to see.
I'd been dodging the dilation and the rest of that part of the exam for the last couple of trips, so it was time. I figured late in the day would be better. I hadn't counted on driving after dark. Bad move as it was like driving on acid. I was virtually blinded by all the star effects on every god damn light point. Like a thousand sparklers at once.
Good news is other than the reading glasses I've needed for years I'm good to go. Whew. Sorry you are having issues, my other half's frav aunt had MD. Really a tough one.
Just still being alive is a victory at some point.
😆
Damn if that isn't the truth.
Jane gang...was joe Walsh with them? I saw them in the 70s. They were blown out of the water by the backup band, a new southern rock band who had just released the song Free Bird......
1975 I'm Green Army in West Germany. One of the truck mechanics is a raving lunatic about said band. Curtis would have a 5th of Jack D in one hand, the hash pipe in the other and reaching for the acid tab with his third hand but I digress.
He comes running in yelling they are coming, and I've got tickets!!! Somehow, he's got the whole front row at the show. Stunned we all said hell yes.
With a few weeks lead time we ordered up some African weed to have something besides tobacco to keep this monstrous Hash doobie we were all chipping in on burning. Damn thing was over a foot long and an inch around. 7 kinds of Hash including a runner of opiated green I'd been hording for months.

Turns out Curtis had grown up with the core brothers and was family as far as they were concerned. The 7 of us and the remains of the doobie wound up backstage until past dawn with bits I still don't recall clearly.
Way too much Jack Danials. Small show of about 200 people as we nabbed the Joint as it was headed past the 3rd time. One of 6 in circulation in the hall.
There's a song coming your way.



The other half where this plugged in is ruined as well. Wall Socket will need replacing as the heat will have burned the contacts and relaxed the spring tension that tightens and grips the connection.
Turn off power before proceeding as bad juju awaits inside.

WOOHOO we gots roots. As much as we travel with the kids in tow my cloning efforts are sketchy at best. Lid needs lifted every day IME or.. It's just not one of the things I trust the neighbors with. 14ish days.

Need to get a few last-minute things done before tonight's Naples Island / Alamitos Bay Boat Parade. Wife got the chow done yesterday.

Morning OFC. I am just starting my first cup subby. Hope everybody is off to a good start.

Gotta check the triches on two plants today. Then, if they are ready will move into 48 hrs of dark before harvest. (ANOTHER WIVES TALE) along with green lights and flushing......

I also have two more plants ready to flush.....but Bigsur51 has finally harassed me long enough thst I'm not gonna flush these. Will be very diligent and see if I can detect the slightest difference. Might even get some friends involved in this side by side experiment.

send me a few buds for a professional opinion , no extra charge..
I've been following your flushing conversation since finding this club house. I have zero experience using bottled nutes or flushing myself so I will sit back and watch you two fight this one out with great interest.

I would like to introduce a different practice that's meant to achieve the same outcome as a flush.

I was taught very early on to let my soil dry up days before harvest. In theory the plant can no longer take up nutrients from the roots and will deplete more of the nutrient reserves left in the leaves.

I would love to hear your thoughts.

Overload. The hot leg burned because it is the one with the greatest load on it. The common is protected by the resistance of the load and the ground has no load.
While I never did "house wiring", this ole EE gotta agree with Gray Wolf and Boo; a fail like that would be the old camel-in-the-tent thing -- you throw the switch on that one last load, and your kinda-hot-but-functioning single pole suddenly becomes a sparkler.

Also if I may add its a European plug and their voltage is 220 to ground as opposed to our 220 volt where both phases share the amp load.
Whilset in Dagastan encountered this(🙄) With it being 220 to neutral the whole load is on the neutral.
We have that kinda here when the service is a Delta service with a high leg of a higher voltage. Usually a high leg delta service will have every third breaker is a lot of instances be blank. That phase is too high a voltage for regular 110 volt stuff and more for three phase equiptment

One initial short wouldnt do it as far as my experience .That was smoldering for a bit.
I have shorted the shit out of things not wanting to search for it in the panel and never did that damage from one short.
Even with the famous and now extinct Federal Pacific ( you can weld with them ) breakers!

my thoughts?….there is some weird stuff going on inside my brain but I will try…

there are to many variables connected to growing ganja which means the more variables = more opinions

so many different ways to grow ganja and all of them are right as long as the end product does what we want it to do

so keep experimenting , get in where you fit in , enjoy the ride

i have experimented with wounded plants , broken stems taped up with gorilla tape , ive bent and twisted and busted limbs and cut leaves which will release auxins within the plants , all to see if there was a noticeable difference in yield , taste , smell , quality of the high/stone , and looks

the differences are so small and un-noticeable to the inexperienced eye that it really makes no noticeable difference , especially in small grows of 6 plants give it take a few

for example , let’s say flushing for some reason produces more buds or a heavier plant….maybe that difference is only a few grams of extra weight compared to a,plant that was not flushed

with only 6 plants a few extra grams is not very noticeable

but lets say one has 10,000 plants in a commercial grow , well then yes , there will be an impact , a few extra grams of weight per plant will make the difference of that business being profitable or not

it is stuff like this that keeps me awake at night

so I said feck it all and now I am a Billy Mays grower , set it and forget it , the less I do the more the plant has a chance to express itself the way the Most High intended it to be
