hey I just realized that plant that took some damage I never changed out it’s nutrient bucket. Pretty sure it was the only one left from the disaster I never changed it out it was at EC 1.4. Interesting! I’ll leave it and see what happens. Anyways! Here’s some works in progress.
scare away the gnats with some dragons. heh heh I finally revitalized my origami projects I had forgotten to use the egg beater in the cellulose mix fucking lumps in there ruined 2 pieces of paper.
I also unfurled my best origami project it’s made of yew wood and has a flower, hummingbird and a star that chase each other around. And I ran out of space on my memory card. moves all the photos ahh much better. In the long run I am going to crank out another dragon like the one pictured except I made green and black paper. We’ll see if I’m happy with that or if I go back and make some orange and red. Takes about a week to make one of those dragons that’s about a foot tall/30cm.
I’ve started the work on fixing up all the flood damage. After I get the vapor barrier repaired(I’ve pulled all the nails and chunks of drywall), I’ll start hanging aqua board down there. I also vacuumed up the veg room to get rid of all spider webs that weren’t occupied. And all the dust that flew out of the wall when I pulled the nails. mmm nice ring nails…fucking things. There’s quite a bit of damage to the old drywall like holes and divots, but I can fill that shit in. Should be passable as a room you could live in after that. Here’s the funny ass part: All this damage has been like that since the water system was put in like 30 years ago…or 25 or something. who even knows! But the old gravity system has a “portal” in the wall, but there isn’t one for the existing system! LOL! time to insulate that and slice a portal for that thing, then tuck tape it.
hah hah fucking agriculture man. I grow that shit like I grow anything else, cannabis included. I mean outside…not in the lab lol you can clearly see it’s not like that. What I do for those carrots is I load the compost with 50% household food waste and 50% cannabis root balls and stalks. Then I take that and dig it into where I am planting. After that I top dress with alfalfa meal - and fucking 1 pound carrots are born. It’s pretty basic shit.
paper that’s green on one side and black on the other, it’s a masterpiece took me 45min to make. It’s really tough to work with this new feed stock though it’s sooooo thin. That’s also a good thing. Once you fold something that’s a nanometer thick over 10 times…we’re talking real volume - that’s not good!
The root ball of the geranium/pelargonium. If that were a cannabis plant you would think it was diseased.
That’s what I didn’t like about those plant root studies, is they all focused on a single “plant” that was their model for plant roots. It didn’t seem right to me, based on what I had seen, each plant was actually different there in the root zone. The ivy geranium, as it’s called, is quite large now, with several side growths. I will take microscopic photos of the root to compare to the cannabis root. We’ll see how much difference there is! I mean besides the color! See how the roots are dark, and not white like cannabis?
uhh a photo from above! I got the other light in there somehow. Oh! But there’s a story as well… The new light I bought has already been put into service lol! fuuuuck now I have to go and buy another one! I shoulda bought two of 'em for shitsakes! facepalm
The plants ability to regenerate is amazing I must say! Looks like the plant will eventually be free from that gnarled dead stalk at the bottom. My question is, how come the rotifers and crap stopped their attack on the clone after I wiped out their colony… I mean, wouldn’t it make more sense they would intensify their assault after I wiped out the food source? Or…was the light important for them as well?? ahhh more questions.
Veg-n-bloom! There’s no more damage on the big bud except the damage I already caused. I could have sorted it on day 2 by diluting it, but I really wanted to see what will happen.
heh heh I guess the damage is almost non existent, you can’t see it very well in the photo. Hey! I got some real damage then! Some maniac went nuts in the veg room with a vacuum cleaner!
well I had my support group meeting! Via the internet lol! Doc said the vaccine is definitely going to be rolled out to people like me first. I know that sounds selfish, but I’m definitely high on the list of people who would die. I have to accept that being one of the first people to get the dose, is not born of selfishness, but of necessity. The only people who aren’t scared of dying are the ones who don’t know it’s real, yet.
One of the meat breath clones fell over so I had to secure it via pipe cleaners. Always the puck-shaped neoprenes are the first to fall over. I am giving some real thought to getting a heat gun and making my own neoprene plant cups. I could sell those things for 2$ a pop! become a twothousandaire! ok ok enough sillyness. Tonight I think I will perform the clone experiment setup. I’ve decided to use the frankenplant as the clone mother. I will dissect the male plant and take lots of clones. Since we’re deciding if 45 degrees is integral I will make the “control” group at 90 degrees. I got a cut pattern for that as well. We’ll see how the setup goes. Since I didn’t need as many meat breath plants as I was going to make clones… I was thinking of what material I had that was trash-able after it was over. Voila! Garbagemale! I also want to dissect that plant and other crazy torture experiments. That stupid hunk of garbage is going to be a gold mine! Specific dissections! I have sample targets identified, yooooooooo!
I’ve seen lots of people do different cloning methods and frankly I place cannabis on the “super easy to clone” end of the scale. I mean…look at what I’m using eh? standard DIY water culture shit, no hormones, I expect 100% of the cannabis clones to root, it’s something I do every day right? So the hypothesis is that a 45 degree angle is important. The reasoning behind that claim is not even important, what is more important is “can that be falsified?” Right, so I consider anything less than 100% success rooting clones…using the right “conditions” of course, to be complete failure.
Take for example the pathogen experiment where I wiped out a series of clones with little shitty pathogens. That would be failure, even though I had 4 in the end that rooted, I knew that by violating an absolute truth I could ensure failures. not 100% failures, you can’t depend on that unless you are cloning your plants in the fireplace. hah hah not that I’m saying you shouldn’t count on <100% failure for violating the “rules” either. yah yah yah anyways even a single failure makes it fail status for a batch.
So that means, if a single 90 degree cut or a single 45 degree cut fails, I will consider the batch on that side to be a failure. Sounds hardcore right? Here’s the thing… the pressure is on me, in reality. If I lose a single fucking clone in this experiment, I suuuuuuuck! Suuuuuuuck bad!!! There is no way I can accept failure by violating the “rules” that result in failure. Got me? Both batches will work!
Alright, here’s what I’m working with:
plain water: EC .2, ph 7, temp 18C
