Crownpoodle's 4x4

Thanks buddy. A good morning to you too @MoBilly . Saw the back surgeon yesterday. Surgery is scheduled for October 30th. Not happy I need surgery again. Grateful that surgery is a real good option for me and my circumstances. Dr David Yeh. The man plays cello in our local symphony orchestra. My blood pressure goes down around him. He has that effect on people.

That is huge though. They told me that the surgery already done was a ā€œstop gapā€ thing. The chance another surgery would help me is nil.
I pray your surgeon has Gods hands guiding his.
:pray:t4:

This oneā€™s an overnighter. 1st time for that. Dr Yeh is a fantastic surgeon. The best Ortho guy for at least 100 miles. He and I both understand he isnā€™t a magician. This surgery was discussed before me 1st one. Couldnā€™t do both at the same time without having a much longer recovery. This oneā€™s thru my abdomen, other was on my back. Hard to do both at once. He didnā€™t anticipate me wanting the second one so soon. I didnā€™t anticipate having it get worse so soon either. I want to put them behind me. Move on. He mentioned scheduling around holidays, etc. ā€œNope. 1st open spot I want. Fuck more waiting.ā€ He laughed.
I had quite a bit of anxiety before my 1st surgery. I have none regarding the upcoming surgery. Iā€™ll be mobile by Thanksgiving, with much to be grateful for. Iā€™ve got a phenomenal support network, starting with the Missus. My red-headed (think Maureen Oā€™Hara red when she was younger), Irish, no bullshit wife of 40 years. Together longer. I donā€™t think, and nobody else thought, any one else could have hung with me when I was in a bad way with Alcohol and Drugs. Sureā€¦she used and drank with me. But not LIKE me. Huge difference!
She never said a word as I deteriorated. Nothing to say. Until I was done. Sheā€™s been in my corner on this one for a long time. One of the things Iā€™m most grateful for.
Geezā€¦enough rattling on. Iā€™m now quite stonedšŸŖØ. I found a small jar stashed of @JAWS Cherry Hi-C that must be 4 months old. Itā€™s not nearly as orange. There were varying degrees of Orange :tangerine: on all the plants that time. Now thereā€™s a strong taste of something else. More research will be done on the jar. HA! The cherry terps are in there Jawā€™s, just took time to come out, or did it take time for those strong orange terps to back down?
I still have some of those seeds. Might need to put them in the smaller, more selective bag. The one with only a dozen or so choices to torture myself with. Instead of 43 strains I think I NEED to grow.
I got the catsā€¦

35 days here. Oneā€™s got pistols starting to turn, but not much smell. The other 2 have some pretty strong terps. Tropical maybe. Semi sweet. Iā€™ll get photos another day. Having a hard time keeping the temps down. Hot here. 80s and still at the house. 100 ten minutes away.

Thanks buddy. Frigging easy grow up to now. Iā€™ve upped how much I feed them. I thought I was having a nute deficiency. Nothing to worry about. I think theyā€™re just real hungry! Theyā€™re sucking up the water like crazy in this heat Iā€™ve been having. Getting ready to start more from Genus. GMO x Killer Chem. This will be my first GMO cross.

Well crap. When I put 6 plants into 2 gallon pots, I knew I had 2 that hadnā€™t shown sex yet. Had one Hawaiian Lime OGEE and two Super Lemon Putang x Run Away Bride show male. Dang it. Good thing those HLO are nice solid plants. Soaking more seeds tonight. Iā€™m calling it my ā€œRecovery Runā€. Not supposed to be in a vehicle for a month this time after surgery. Iā€™ll be able to focus on things at the house. Iā€™ve been wanting to tighten up certain areas of my growing.
Still in the 3x3 here.

Do you ever save the males and play with a little pollen?

I donā€™t have a decent place to quarantine males. Not worth it for me running testers like I do.

First time for everything. I murdered a plant in flower. I mix my dry nutes in a qt jar, which goes into a gallon, which goes into 4 gallons, so 5 total. Well. That qt jar went directly into a #2 pot. Takes me about an hour before I use the stuff. By the time I recognized what Iā€™d done, it was over. Just fried. She looks ā€œgoodā€ in this photo compared to a couple hours later.
Shit. Havenā€™t thrown it out yet. Flushed the hell out of it butā€¦
16 days in.

no laughing matter brother but it happens to the best of us, a lazy brain even for a minute can cause some issue, trust me i know that first hand.

kick it and just move on brother life is to short to even give it a second though.

That is one unhappy plant. She might surprise you and bounce back though. I imagine it would be slow growing for a while though.

Itā€™s a weed itā€™ll come back donā€™t give up on her yet

slam her with several gallons of fresh water, after she has drained for a while sit her on a thick towel and let the towel do the work. once in a while change the towel until its no longer being soaked.

the thing is to flush her but not let her sit in overly wet soil, that will cause you just another issue. do this give some time and see how/ if she response positively or not.

peace ā€¦

Thatā€™s better than what I did, killed a whole plant because I never watered itā€¦ A victim of the packed veg tent.

Dang, sorry CP. But, thank you for sharing that. Jaws mentioned that we all make mistakes, even the folks we look up to :slight_smile:

Thatā€™s a pic before all the bigger leaves fell off. @JAWS that towel is good. Pull some moisture out. Iā€™m not tossing it out just yet. It she survives Iā€™ll need to watch extra close for herm activities. Iā€™ve got more seeds, but dang it.
