TOTALLY RANDOM POST II

With 20-22c in and 24-27c out, I was seeing about 6L of water used per meter. I knew it was low, and I had been a bit tight with the K and was seeing signs of it in the final weeks. So.. Up went the K about a third to a reasonable 180ppm, and now it's at 7L. The biggest change, overnight. Where the run off basically stopped as they took 7.2L and run out. I reckon I will see 7.5L but it's not a great crop anyway. It's just seeing K's water movement potential in quantifiable terms that I found satisfying

I had already lowered Ca, but it was the K that really mattered. I wonder how this sits with LED dry leaf posters. These K signs were to exposed upper fans. Slight serration lift. Typical signs people see as too much light

I think I've had K problem the last two grows and specifically with one strain vs another.

My signs

canoed up leaf close to light
yellowing from edges in and veins stay green
edges eventfully turn crispy

Redoing my tent install today. Put one in last week and found issues. I upped my exhaust stack up from 4" to 6", took care in the attic to shield the underside of the roof from the warmer exhaust air and insulate any exposed duct.

Just in time as a cold wave is to hit tonight.

Anyone know of any tape that sticks to the tents?

The outside of tents? Gorilla has a thick layer of very sticky tack to it. Kinda thing you might wish you hadn't used. Though a bit of tape never really needs to come off.

I have never seen leaf edges go light from K. Only in pics. I just see it from calcium, where it's uniform from font to back, so looks a bit like eye liner. (I wish I had a more masculine description)

I'm using the gorilla black. The cheap gray duct tape stick better. They all initially stick but pull loose after a while. Maybe some alien tape.

The last significant local news blurb last night included a report of someone leaving a baby in a box, about a block from Chena Pump Rd. just outside of Fairbanks, at 1 degree above zero, f., with a note saying they "couldn't take care of it."

I'd wondered if the newspaper had resisted announcing anything about the little thing dying, instead wanting the 'parent' to step forth, but further word was that the little person was recovering at "a local hospital.' (Laughed a bit at that pointless effort toward vagueness; there's ONE hospital here, unless you go onto one of the military installations in the region.

I considered that there are families out there, even during COVID, who pay 10's of thousands of dollars to adopt a baby, and that COVID has been hard on many, financially speaking.

Considered that maybe the 'parent' had been trying to conceal a pregnancy?

Then I thought, what if maybe they read my post last night, decided to avoid all that sand in the face stuff, and that was the first option that popped into their mind??... assuming they had a functioning mind... mind you.

In any case, as a metaphorical crescendo to the carnage that was 2021, in a very twisted sort of way, it was more or less the proverbial cherry on the sundae.

Hope the kid's alright, with no brain damage from the cold. And that a 'momma' (or whomever) some place, finds peace with themselves in the future.

I declare tomorrow Hash Day! I have 100 grams of Ghost Rose (grown from a free bean from ReikoX ) along with some GR trim chilling in the freezer. The shiny new – I haven’t even taken the protective film off yet - BubbleBagDude washer is tested and ready. I have been making ice cubes for several days and annoying my wife squirrelling them away in the already stuffed freezers. I will high pass at 45 and low pass at 160. And – most important of all – I have a dozen varieties of hash here to keep me medicated while I make even more!

We were -44 f on the front porch yesterday afternoon, as the sun was on the horizon here. Today at one point, I looked at the same thermometer, and it was -22 f.

With a Chinook breeze out of the south here, I've seen it go from colder than -50 f., on up to +35 f., in under 24 hours. Amazing changes, even 40 years ago here. Recall walking around in shorts at +20 to +30, wearing shorts and a t-shirt (following the -50 and colder), and grilling country style boneless pork ribs on a hibachi, on top of my old dog's doghouse back then.

We're headed into a moderately cold week of weather. Expected lows down into the -40 f range, and highs in the -20s, up until next Monday, when we're -supposed- to see 16 f to -20 f here. (Distant forecasts often don't deliver the goods, but they're great to look at in a moment of despair).

My wife made a New York style (diabetic-friendly) cheesecake with coconut and almond flours for the crust, among other crust ingredients. This one and the one before it, she made an apple pie filling with granny smith apples, thickened it nicely with whole wheat flour, and sweetened it with maple syrup that she'd reduced into a thick paste that later turns to a slightly soft maple sugar candy (the stand-by for the sweetening that needs done here). Gotta' say that the combination is INCREDIBLE.

I just picked up some new (used) speakers. The neighbourhood is listening to them right now.

Really quite good.

I wondered about the work bag. I watched a vid from Bubble's site and he said the same about results. How long do you wash?

My last batch I did 6 minutes, although I guess it depends on the material you're using. The bud wasn't very dense, so it didn't need a long time and it came out super soft and pliable.

I've yet to do a run with my Afghan landrace bud from summer, so perhaps I'll let it go a couple more minutes because the buds are pretty chunky.

Very nice, Green Squall, I like hash balls. :biggrin: I haven't "Frenchied" my dried shavings. But I have sampled and it melts my face.

Mmm, mmm good. :rasta:

Damn winter. I had to break into my rain water stash in the garage. Only 25 gallons. I may have to double that when I get the chance.
