I appreciate that @Cormoran
You know, though, if this turns out to be the little push I need to get on here and learn more from more growers, that’s a win.
Besides, I want to reciprocate the kindness and attention others have shown me and my journal.
Win WIN!!

[Cormoran]

Fair point, I accidentally learn a lot while I’m reading through other people’s grow threads even if I have no intention of doing anything but looking at bud porn.

[Cormoran]

…though I just realized the flip side. I also learned quite a few things reading through @JohnnyPotseed’s thread, like his excellent worm casting germination technique. How many people will never learn it now?

@Cormoran

I’d rather be able to sign up for the seed runs myself without having bots taking every open spot 5 minutes after it’s posted, and once it’s hit Google’s databases.

Bots, huh. You are able to sign-up for co-ops, giveaways, auctions subject to whatever requirements there are in the OP just like everyone else. If you miss out on an opportunity, there will be more.

@Cormoran

in this case he and I are both locked out of the Private Lounge where @JohnnyPotseed had his thread moved to protect from Google bots.

There’s a bunch of posts in the private lounge. You do not have access to those either. If someone chooses to post into those areas, it’s up to them. Similar to everyone else, you’ll just need to earn access to those areas.

Keep in-mind that you’ve been a community member for a total of 15 days. Lodging a bunch of complaints, ignoring guidance, and complaining about not getting ‘free’ seeds is not convincing.

[MoBilly]

Everyone that I tell about it will hear about it! LOL
I plan to make that a lot of people.

[JohnnyPotseed]

Lots will see it still cuz, it’s not in the private lounge it’s indexed on the main

Germinating some seeds - How I do it

I recently posted about how I germinate my seeds. So figured I’d post some pics I first take about 1/4" of pure worm castings, then wet it down good, using a towel to soak up any standing excess off the surface. I place it on a heatpad with an insulator between to lessen the temps a bit. put a humidity dome over it, with a towel to give it the dark it needs. Let it sit 24 hrs to acclimate. Then I place any seeds I want to germinate, I usually place them in orderly rows of each strain, to kee…

Ok, apparently I’m rubbing you the wrong way by mentioning it and I’ll stop. Sorry about that; I’m getting more than plenty of free seeds, people have been very generous and I have no complaints about the fact that people have to earn trust. I just thought the system could be improved in some aspects, my bad. I guess I’m not trusted enough to weigh in on that either, and that’s fine.

good vives to your eye site . yea you need the best grow room glasses money can buy limit time in grow grow i reckon will help also. can not buy new eyes as far as i know. unless you get doner eyes from a dead person.

[keene]

Yes good idea, I have a medical exemption for tinted windows on my truck from my eye doc, I wear Rx Polaroids. I am using the Sunglasses from the Cataract Doctor now in the grow area. I have blue eyes, the most easily damaged so yeah I am all in, especially with these great new lenses implanted in my retinas giving me a whole new world to see again.

I’ll try to stay away from here sometimes. I do have something to announce. All my hard work has paid off. I got a ride. I have been offered a few jobs. Come January of next year I will be growing in a legal state. I will be growing seeds from the seed banks and from people that have donated to me. I know it does sound like a lot of bullshit right now but it’s not. I was told today that my stuff does not smell but it is some of the best that they have ever had. I’m not trying to brag on myself but I have come here and other places and I have studied everything that I can to try to turn out a perfect product. I’m not there. I just wanted to say thanks for putting up with me it looks like it’s paid off

[CornbreadJunior]

Not sure if fans of Katsu saw in their email inbox that he is doing a half price hotcakes sale till midnight pst tonight. just thought i’d throw it out there so you can check ur email if ur on his list.

@Hemp

I got a ride. I have been offered a few jobs.

Very nice. Congrats Hemp.

[Donnie]

Congratulations @Hemp . What state are you going to if you don’t mind me asking

[Calix]

HEy Keene.
That’s interesting to me about the exemption for tinted windows!

I have blue eyes too lol. And need to get my eyes tested.

Is there any online info about this issue? I haven’t got any prescription lenses but mainly due to affordability and necessity’s. Im not blind but I definitely don’t have 20/20 vision.

I defintily need to get in for a check up, I hope I never have those kind of eye issues. . . The grow lights have been bugging me for a Buit, I can start with some protective eye wear.

Best of luck with your vision

[keene]

Hi, well you need to have a medical reason for the exemption. I have macular degeneration which is stable so all good. They stress protecting your eyes by wearing sunglasses etc. outdoors, especially for us who have blue eyes that let more light in. I just had cataract surgery which is very common as we age, the cataracts were for sure impairing my vision. As things go, the best idea is to have an eye exam, by an opthalmologist, a medical doctor. Like you say, we only get one pair of eyes, its a no brainer

[BigMike55]

If it’s a no brainer, @Slick1 is the perfect man for the job.
