I would say a couple weeks more. The end of week 9 most likely. Nothing I grow lately finishes before 9 weeks it seems. One Love…

Well flowering plants do the same instead of rotten fruit, then your attracting fruit/fungus flies?

Apples, tomatoes and ripe bananas give off the most ethylene. I use apples and/or bananas to boost ethylene levels, but I don’t use rotten fruit… I’m smarter than that.

Not checking your smartness, sometimes you don’t know the people you’re dealing with.
So don’t take as an insult.

Hey @TheShowMeHomie. What’s up on this cloudy, misty, shitty day. (Texas anyway)
I’m gonna chop Mr. Greenjeans this evening. The entire plant is covered in frost, stalks and all. I don’t have any idea if it will have any potency but it was as fun as a box of kittens to grow! Take care and thanks for stopping by brother.

Cypress trees get pretty cool looking when they grow old.

Awesome, who is the photographer?
It’s pretty wood to work with, too. I got to use a lot of it in a custom art studio that a friend and I built for a super wealthy guy and his wife. It’s pretty stuff.

I don’t know who the photographer is. My dad would take me Crappie fishing there when I was a kid. You just float among those trees powered by a single oar. Using a short pole you simply dip your bait around the roots of those trees and pull up a Crappie or White Perch. Fun fishin! During the boat ride in, usually after dark, those Cypress trees looked mighty scary! Beautiful place. Peace…

That’s cool bro. I grew up the same way. My dad would take us crappie fishing every spring. Lake Eufaula in Southeast Alabama was pretty new when we were really young, and they left all the tress in when the flooded it. So for a good many years there were stumps and trees still standing and that’s where the crappie were.
They don’t have much cypress in that lake but they have the Spanish moss that hangs from the trees and makes it look spooky as hell. Great memories.
Ah hell, today is St. Patties day! That was the day may dad passed. We had planned another fishing trip and he passed two weeks before we got to go. We did do one the year before; me and my brother, and his son, and my dad rented a cabin at the State Park on the Georgia side of the lake and had a big time.
Crap… I thought I had another couple of days to the 17th, derp… Glad you brought that up. He fought cancer for about 5 years and knew he was dying so we were fishing whenever we could. Damn, I sure miss the old man.
peace

Nice @GMan. We were very lucky to have grown up that way. Hunting, fishing and spending time in nature. My Dad and I had some problems but we left them at home when we went fishing. Good times!

Thanks for sharing. Those pics take me back to Lakeland, Ga. 1973ish.
With my father on Banks lake in a lil Jon boat.
He fished for large mouth, while I caught huge crappie using big long cane poles.

That’s what I’m talkin’ about. I enjoy bass fishing as well. Unfortunately I only get to go once or twice a year.
Peace…

Hell yeah, the southeast is blessed with the fishing. Lakes and rivers everywhere, and farm ponds in between. Lake Martin, and Guntersville are known for massive bass, too. 27 lb stripers in most of those reservoirs, especially Martin. Awesome bass fishing even on a fly rod in Guntersville.
I was living back there for a while after family got older and dying. I would go fly fishing for bream/sunfish in a favorite local honey hole; Inland Lake, Alabama. It had great bass fishing from the boat with a fly rod, too. But at the inlet to the lake the shallow soughs had huge bream beds. They’re round, dished out spaces in the mud/silt where the eggs are laid and the large males guard them. I used chartreuse and black poppers. When they went on bed, you could catch them one after another with a huge fight. I miss that.

Exactly the same with me and my dad bro… they weren’t real big on the long hair when we were teens, lol. We became best friends the last five years he was alive. Awesome stuff. Fishing was right in the middle of it all, all along.
