Sounds awesome man. I’m having a hard time describing this latest one. It’s for some weird Thai/haze going on so maybe that’s why it’s so challenging.

Which breeder if I may ask? I grew a few Shiska’s from Barney’s, first run they were awesome. Close to the best smoke I ever grew. Then I ran them a second time and it was all sh*t! Always on the look out for the great shiskaberry I’ve had the honour of smoking. :drooling_face:

It was Shiskaberry 3F2 which was a collaboration from @SHSC-1 and @PineTarBastard .

Today’s check-up and watering brought a big smile to my face.

This is the 3x GMO and 1x Pink Lemonade #2 plants.

Here is the Pink Lemonade #2 :

Here is an example of the GMO:

Both are nice and frosty. :ok_hand:

Upstairs both tents have a little stress from over loving… aka overfeeding… :sweat_smile:

In here the Limed-Orange (top left), GMO (top right) are a little miffed with me. A combo of minor root rot and over feeding. They’ll make it to the end and are still putting on the frost.

Next-door is the same problem with the Nepali Watermelon Hashplants.

They still smell amazing; one is pure diesel with funk and the other (shorter) is fabulously a ripe melon!

On a random note, when I figured out my cottage cheese and cream cheese were both going to go off before I could eat them the way I had planned I got slavic creative:

They are called Vatrushka, a Russian cream cheese pastry. They are a lot of work but freaking worth the effort.

How are everyone’s plants doing?

Well except for @Foreigner ; he just killed his. :rofl: :scissors:

They are just beginning to smell good again and it’s very interesting and nice and different. It’s gotta be the Thai because I have no experience against which to judge but it’s bright and acidic but not lemony or haze musty, it’s either the Thai specifically or just its own weird thing. It’s really nice.

Also the one I thought would be a yielder isn’t going to be but the other two look like they are.

Your hashplants are falling over and I want some cream cheese.

Also I changed my inkbird from 62% to 60 just because.

Lol. Of course it was only @Foreigner that shared with us how his plants are doing! :rofl:

What about all y’all others? Or is there no interest in sharing here? :thinking:

I have a few hours to go before I see if the 24 hour heat treatment sweated the cobbs or i lucked out with the right RH% right of the start.

Good morning @Pigeonman ! Your solos are looking great! That Vatrushka looks really good too, I don’t think I’ve ever had anything quite like that. Have to look into it a bit. Plants are looking good here, hope all is well! :green_heart:

The inventory is rooting well!

Soon enough I’ll have to start potting the cuts that are sporting roots and additionally work some of the already rooted Spider-plants into both “Bonsai Tree” and hanging basket variations.

Here’s what the bonsai’ treatment will achieve. (not my pics but a good examples):

The Brugmansia’s in the basement are also starting to root.

I’m gonna use the 4x4 for all these plants until I need to start the next seed run which is gonna be “kind of a big deal” teamwork based reproduction with the hopes of it being accepted as a co-op for the spring. If not, maybe my 2025 Freaker’s Run? :thinking:

I’ve finally after years of making it work went to town with the front room of our home which we don’t really use as it’s a fish-bowl to the street. It was my Grandparents “sitting room” but like many boomers it was only used when guests came by.

T.dot does not afford luxery space like this to someone living below the poverty line so it’s been storage by summer and an overwintering green-space in the cold-season.

The stuff down the middle path leading to our front door is all vintage items i’m also selling and just need to take photos in our now photo studio which was formerly my Grandparents dining room… another luxury a 2020’s T.dot survivor doesn’t really have either so it’s now a money making/tax write-off working space! :grin:

I had to lift the chandelier as high as it would go with quick-ties as I’m not taking it down… too much work and I already have enough on my plate.

We’re getting 27" imac donated to us so here’s where that will live as “Green Ribbon Crafts Inc” base of operations. I have lots of event running EQ so I set up my audio system so I can work REALLY LOUDLY. :rofl:

Copy stand with soft source lighting for overhead shots; mostly inventory where it just shows the piece without any fanciness.

Photography soft box and a lot of Ikea bits. :smiley:

And for the larger stuff I threw this together. It also helps with figuring out displays for events such as the one we have coming up the end of November and another on Dec 14th. The latter only allows for a 2ft x 3ft space so making sure your product is displayed appropriately is brutally important.

Now that I’m all set-up with only some minor additions required I’ll be chugging away at inventory and then together we will be populating the website which still looks like it will be Wix based as their service also covers cross platforming into facebook marketplace and instagram…

@defharo I really hate :canada: 's pay to play bullshit with anything to do with telecommunications! Additionally I hate social media so much… but it is where the money is these days. :face_vomiting:

ORGANIZED THE FUCK OUTA MY AMENDMENTS TODAY AMIDST 20 OTHER THINGS ON THE GO!

Here’s the rhythm of the days pace:

I had an old Ikea shelf in storage the past 12 years and what do you know it’s gonna live here now holding all my stuffs in this cleared out closet. Go figure I lost all the hardware but it’s ikea so i just ordered the replacement parts for free off their website with the part numbers.

It was holding antiques for sale so now that the photography studio is done I can get them moving and get onward with the ever continuous puttering down here.

the top shelf has a good amount of headroom for stacking pots easily accessible for my shorter self via stepladder technologies. This is the tip of the iceberg as I pulled out all the pots collected from the curb over the years during spring to wash and inventory them…

…there’s a lot. :sweat_smile:

On the thinnest shelf I keep drying racks, catch trays, rock wool, zip-locks and anything else to small to justify the other shelves height.

This is the money shelf. Not because it costs the most (in fact it does tbh) but because of the variety of magic in here for the plant babies! I jar easy for use quantities of stuffs so I’m not always needing to open a 50lb bag of something.

Behind the H202 and ISO are my next jugs of Veg A & B as I accidentally bought 2 of each part A and B Veg last year instead of 1 A/B Veg and 1 A/B Bloom… :man_facepalming:

Moving down we have more headroom. In the back behind the ikea bag which is holding a *50lb back of micronized Azomite are the remainders of what I have left of coco coir, expanded clay pebbles, and biochar. The fogger is loaded with H0Cl and in the back is 1gal of the stuff ready to go.

I’ve not gotten to use the newest stuff in from Black Swallow Living Soils which are the paper bags in the middle: Yorin, Volcanophos, & Wollastonite.

Carrying 50lb bags down stairs is never fun but neither is crawling through snow to get at them in the winter either. I went on a mission to get myself Humalite in bulk and figured if I drove this far for 1 bag I might as well buy 3.

:rofl:

In the front bucket is worm castings and in the back chicken shit pellets.

Hiding in the corner is the 4 cubic feet of Perlite. It’s lite so easy to tuck in here and I do not wanna move it because of the dust. The bag on top of it is the last bag with enough left over to add to the next batch of soil mix.

No matter how happy I am about this there are 2 things that will not fit.

1: Garbage can filled with Promix BX.
2: Garbage can filled with Rice Hulls

It’s not a huge problem and really it’s my own fault for buying in bulk.

:sweat_smile:
