Yes they do. I usually take about $2000 each year from my Etrade IRA account.

Am holding about 24 stocks in my Etrade "play" account. Got until tomorrow to complete my purge of the <cough>.....dogs in that account. Some of my better players are security stocks like CRWD and PANW.

(Widowed) girl friend is a multi millionaire who until meeting me had most in cash just losing value due to our current high inflation environment. I'm going WTF? She has NO tolerance for risk so I got her into quite a few CD's and treasury bills paying around 5.6%. Yields have been dropping and will continue. I've been buying quite a few high yielding dividend stocks, talking 8+% dividends paid out monthly or quarterly like OHI.

As of today........

There's a shit load of money that's sitting idle in bonds and such, cash. Got to go somewhere. I think the stock market will rally from the billions on the side coming to play.

Got more little faves ready to go from their germ pots into 2 gal. pots. Will deal with it tomorrow.

@BubbasPlace, recommend conventional pots painted with MicroKote. You can use smaller pots because you're creating a highly efficient, fibrous root system. Won't make the plants smaller. It's the only way I grow many plants and trees now. Here's an example. https://overgrow.com/t/how-can-i-use-spin-out-for-chemical-root-pruning/258

I bust down long internodes with Paclo. And yes because the % is extremely small it's perfectly safe as long as you follow instructions. Indians use it on their mango orchards and Aussies use in their avocado fields. Why the USDA hasn't authorized it for use in the States for consumables is anyone's guess.

Good luck to all,

Well, the way I looked at it, regarding pot size and plant size is that anytime I have used a really big pot, The plant has the potential to get huge. More so than tiny pot. I figured the 3 gallon pot (usually use the standard 5 gallon) would result in them not reaching height potential. Normally this would have me equate this to mean less yield. After watching one plant scrogged overtake a tent, but not have the largest buds, lots of nice ones, but no huge ones, I decided to try something to limit height.

4 plants I did this with, (also only vegged until 18-20 inches tall after one topping) resulted in shorter plants after the Chrimera 3's big stretch, tallest right at 40 inches, down to about 36. Buds however, were much more dense and also larger. Yield was much better than the far taller, but ganglier plants I grew. This was my major complaint of Chrimera 3.....a lot more fuss and trouble than most of the indica plants I like.

Yield was much better. 3-4 oz per plant. Not fantastic. But better than my tall attempt!As to plant growth regulators, I dont use them. (unless they are snuck into my nutes I guess!) I just grow for me, and have more than I need and can use. Allows me to make hash and rosin, with plenty of buds too.

So pathetic
Stella's new nickname is dozer. She walks around with her cone dragging on the floor pushing around the dust bunnies. Poor kitten is feeling defeated.

Those collars are demeaning but necessary for our furry buddies…Ivan grew up with one for 6 months…when Dutch begins to dig in on his rump I put one on him…he acts defeated and upset with me

Wow 6 months, poor fella! Stella has to wear it another 8 days and then freedom. I'm just glad the adrenaline and hallucinations have subsided.

I honestly never thought I could get attached to a cat, but I got to admit, I'm falling for this little mouser.

I hope you end up with one like Stella. She's both loving and fierce. The entertainment she brings to the home is priceless.

Me and Mrs Pute have had both dogs and cats all of our lives. We have put two cats down in the last two years leaving us with one 14 year old pom. And now she is on her last leg......hard to deal with.

We have decided to travel a bit when she is gone and then get a rescue cat. Out animals have become our children.

If you guys end up traveling north east my fire pit offers a welcoming glow, my cooking is good if I say so myself, and the jars are always full and ready to be shared.

I've got large mouth in the pond as well.

I must have liked having an ex so now I have two of them

this girlfriend thing seems to be working…me and Swede are going on 10years now

Grayfox and I dated for ten years and lived together for two years before getting married 39 years ago, as it was the third time for us both. I think we get along better married, as there are fewer uncertainties.

PS: I've outlived both of my ex wives.

One of our friends had two cats, Stripe and Smudge. Stella is a dead ringer for Smudge.

I call her Kitty Crawford for the smudge of a beauty mark above her mouth.
