So I lied the sour diesel dried more than I expected. It came in at 223.5 grams. So I have a total of 789.3 with two left to go.
so you need to yield another 211 grams to hit 1 gpw? If so, good luck to ya, you put the work into this game, so you deserve to succeed.

Actually it is a lot more then that. I am running 1600 watts. I consider it a win if I reach 40 ounces in this set up.
So with that I got a weight for the Deathstar 2 which was the second largest in the group. It came in at 279.2 grams. Tentatively I have a total weight of 1068.5 grams or 37.7 ounces. I will know if I loss a little from this tomorrow as I have just jared it tonight and it may get a little damp over night. I will not have a total for a couple days as I still have about another hour of trimming on the large Sour Diesel yet. I should be done trimming that tonight.
I need 48 for 3 pounds so we will see it will be close but I think I will be just barely over.

Great job IC!
He said :
"We have enslaved ourselves to governmental and insurance company mandates that cause us to busy ourselves to meet their objectives of lowering medical cost. In the meantime medical cost actually continue to escalate because of government involvement and solo practitioners find it cost prohibitive to continue."

How can a healthcare plan that hasn't even taken effect have shut down your doctor's practice?
Medicare and medicaid insure over 60% of the population. Most people are already insured by the government. Medicare tells the doctor what they will pay for services... And with current economic conditions, fewer people are coming in with adequate health insurance for doctors to prescribe unnecessary drugs and tests to make up for lost revenue... Increasing the costs to the privately insured.
This is what I'm going to school for... The system is designed to keep people sick because that's the most lucrative form of medicine. Treating chronic disease. Preventing chronic disease from starting is a much cheaper form of medicine, and it wonKt be until we switch from managed care to a pay for performance system, which obamacare is, that we begin to control medical spending.
Federal tax money built our healthcare system and trained our millionare doctors. All taxpayers have a right to use it.

Obviously we may not know 100% why, I simply have read the letter he gave me and stated what was in it.
As far as Government health care we will have to disagree as to weather it is good or bad. I have some deep seated disagreements with it that would take a lot of time to voice and I am simply not interested in arguing about it.
I will say that here I will argue abut growing. I am a much better grower of fungus nats then you. Quite frankly you suck at it. You need to stick to what you know best, hard nuggets and root aphids.

Good post Bobble the cost and corruption is bigger than anywhere in the world the suppliers force hospitals to buy everything or nothing from them the retractable syringe that could save many lives and millions in lost time and six months of treatment and testing for health care workers that accidentally poke themselves or others but even at a lower cost the company's monopoly keep the syringe out of workers hand every day someone gets infected for greed. I don't even want to get started on big pharma the biggest lobby group.

Trust me its a double edged sword. I can see Obama shooting for a more Canadian like health care system. While its great that everyone is covered. I strongly believe you get what you pay for.
Our system is so conjested that people are dieing waiting for treatment.
If people have money here they go to the states to get treated as you get help right away.
While I have to wait 6 months for a MRI that they never found shit wrong with me. After 4 MRIs they did but I am sure in the states they would have found it the first time.
Once the states has the same as us I guess we will have to go to Mexico for good treatment. I already know people who fly there for dental work.
You can get a flight, hotel and the work done for less then just the work here.

The truth ichabod, is that your doctor can make more money seeing patients in the hospital as opposed to keeping a private practice. It's not like your doctor could no longer put food on the table. Your doctor is not out of work, but rather pursuing more lucrative opportunities. There's nothing wrong with that and it doesn't make him a bad person... But to make it sound like he just couldn't keep his doors open because of future healthcare reform is misleading.
I am not saying he can't make more in a hospital just that he is giving up his practice and I have to get another. It is what it is I have to get another after fifteen years with him.

Good point Bobble. If you haven't seen Money & Medicine on PBS, check it out.

I'll avoid stirring the pot anymore than that and say that losing your primary care doc sucks Ichi. Nice numbers you have coming in though - hope you hit the 1GPW mark man. Congrats!
I work in the health care system and I had a doctor tell me that because of the way the health care system is set up and because of the policies of Obama a lot of the private practices he knew were shutting there doors or risk going out of business the hard way. So I dont think his doctor is just on to bigger and better things.
Blame the black guy, right? thats all I hear.
im not gonna delve into this topic any deeper, its just gonna get us all pissed.
Now where are those gnats and root aphids?

It is not just the black guy but a white guy and a white woman as well.
End of talk on that you are right it will just get us mad. Back to growing dope.
I should have a final weight tomorrow. I have to trim two plants before pictures as one is way past ready and the other has hermied on a few buds so it must go. I am half done on one and will be working on the other as soon as this one is done.
Please no more post on politics just growing.
I have weight up the large Sour Diesel and it came in at 288.3 g. It may lose a little over night and I suspect it will as there were some larger buds that may be damp in the middle.
So as it stands I will get no more than 1356.8 grams or 47.85 zips.
