QUIGLEY now has his own LARGE SCREEN TV!

I downloaded a 10 hour video loop of dessert footage + soundscape from Planet Earth 1 & 2 which is now left on during his daylight hours! :rofl: :heart_eyes: :lizard:

Here’s those pics and I may have taken more than I should :rofl: :camera: .

Press Play for atmosphere then continue: :hugs:

For anyone that’s in @Indoornesian second annual solo cup challenge you know that I started some plants on the evening of the combined full moon and lunar eclipse because that’s how I roll.

Here’s an animated drawing that’s so close to me in real life it’s freaky (down to the piercing, hair, etc…)

So in 24 hours all seeds popped and were in their top-layer of earth worm castings with a 4" pot covering the solo-cup for a micro-dark-atmosphere. 72 hours from hitting water all those 4" pots were removed as there were small seedlings all starting to grow strong towards the light.

For “feed” they’ve been getting a mix of distilled water + silica + copper + rhizotonic and I’ve been running them at 24/0, with a higher intensity of light during “daytime hours” and then a single fixture for the “nighttime hours”.

As you’ll see they’re rather pleased with the treatment.

There are 2x cups in here NOT intended for the solo-cup challenge which are the 2x Buddha’s Cane from @ShitSeeds . I started one weeks ago with my winter run and it stalled so I decided to spark one with the solos and it’s taking off with the rest of them. I had no intention of culling the stunted plant and it’s being nursed with the rest of the little ones. I’ve started to call it “Weirdo” and it’s strange but charming and I look forward to seeing how it ends up growing down the road. :smiley:

20+ year old Peyote Cactus named “Squirt”:

And I had sitting around some Plumeria branches that got broken off my 2 main plants due to “surprise wind while at work” so I finally got my shit together and put them into solo cups to start rooting. :+1:

Heading downstairs the UK Cheese clones are showing their secret love for H.P. Lovecraft with their style :octopus: :rofl:

Each plant’s a charmer but I still need to pick 1 to keep as a Mother and the other 2 will end up outdoors next year. They’ve been getting @BudBusterPro ever week to make em this happy.

:uk: :cheese: Plant 1:

:uk: :cheese: Plant 2:

The winter plants have taken to their up-potting and haven’t skipped a beat with their growth. They got their first dose of BudBusterPro on Saturday so I’ve upped their feed just a smidge. :ok_hand:

I’m cleaning up and clearing out my storage space in order to get rid of shit I don’t use and to find the stuff I want to use but… well can’t find! :rofl: Turns out behind a few boxes was some of my film lights so now I applied my “pays the bills” practice to increase and showcase my “doesn’t pay the bills but sure as hell keeps me and those I love happy” practice.

2x 1foot KinoFlo 55K tubes with grids for the side-lighting and 1x 5500k led spot for the top-lighting; a black solid that needs cleaning and steaming to rid the creases but hell it’s working for a 30 min set-up with stuff I haven’t touched in years. :rofl: :film_strip: .

The Jalisco #5 is the model for the first test just using my shit phone camera.

It’ll all be so much better once my DSLR and tripod are out. Next thing to add is something Mrs. Pigeon and I have wanted for a while for both out crafts:

An electronically driven photography turntable!

I’ve wanted one for a while but for 20$ i am still rocking a turkey bastor and child’s medical dropper (both from dollarama!)

Seriously you can precision feed your sprouts with a simple dropper from the baby section of most all dollarstores. I can reinforce my seedlings by mounding EWCastings around the base of the plant and then “fuse it in place” using single drops of water.

First world canna-problems are real! lol

And as for that seedling sprayer, I use a water bottle with 3 tiny holes drilled in the lid. $20 is too much for something so simple… but maybe Shit Seeds should start carrying them lol
