So how is everyone on OG this morning?
So I did not update yesterday because quite frankly I was pissed off in a major way. So I had to take the portable dehumidifier out to recharge Tuesday night and it appears I left the lid on the pollen storage slightly open. This is not a big deal since it’s in a cool dark closet in my basement. Unfortunately my daughter decided to do laundry yesterday. The laundry room / furnace room in my finished basement are connected. For some unknown reason she hit the deflector when she started the drier causing the air to blow into the room instead of outside. Than she closed the laundry room door which sealed it and the closet turning them into a sauna. With the cooler weather yesterday this caused a huge issue as when I got home and opened the laundry room the windows and pipes were dripping with condensation. I quickly went into the closet and found the humidity in the pollen container was at almost 80% and that fine dust was clumpy. I am pretty sure it is all ruined as moisture is pollens enemy. I tried to break it up by putting it through pollen shaker and it would not go through the screen. It is now on my desk with the portable dehumidifier and every pack of silica I have with it. It was down to 45% humidity when I left the house at 6:45am but I am pretty sure it’s ruined. 40 plus grams of pollen, argh.
Now I kept going and collected more last night and will continue to collect as long as the males are producing bit this was a kick in the nads. So while I will still be sending out pollen to some it will be many less than planned unless some kind of miracle happens. Sorry folks.
Sorry to hear about all the troubles. This Sour Bubble is really making you work for it isn’t it? You smashed your record and at least still have some you can collect.
Sending good vibes
Man, how sad that this happened. Accidents happen, unfortunately we can’t have control over everything we want.
I hope you don’t lose all the pollen collected so far, because I imagine it must hurt to lose so much work and effort. But you have to move on, and in case you lose what you’ve already collected, let’s hope that they still continue to produce a good amount of pollen to meet everyone who needs it.
oh man that’s shitty. You still blew the top off your previous record though!! You’re a legend in my eyes brother, ain’t nothin gonna change that. Either way the beans are going to be pure fire and anyone who doesn’t get pollen will still be able to find a killer male in the seeds you’re making.
Lol, I am trying bud, this one was just a huge disappointment but all I can do is keep moving forward. Seeds are coming along fine so that’s a plus. I will still get more pollen but man, 40 grams of pollen and all that work destroyed is definitely a hit.
Well was a hit should be what I said as that was yesterday’s problem, today it becomes an opportunity. I now have the opportunity to see just what I can get out of these males so hey, challenge accepted. Onward we go.
Its OK @DougDawson, you are young and can still have another daughter jkjk… sorry to hear about this, I hope the moisture is not as damaging as you are considering it may be
Probably right…sorry to hear, you got my luck.
It is just a matter of time my canna brother.
The new/old record will be trash before you know it.
Just another day in the life, right.
It was a badass collection of dust, so you still get an atta-boy…LOL
Lol, I think that was a big issue here, nobody to get mad at. I wanted to vent my frustration on my daughter who did this but it was not intentional so I just couldn’t. I felt bad thinking how bad she would feel so I simply asked her not to do it again man it sucks when there is nobody’s ass to kick, lol.
You and me both my friend. Still takes a conscience effort as I have always had anger issues. I do my best now aways to not allow them to control me but rather I control them. Does not always work but I do try.
Doug! No need to create elaborate stories! We all know the aliens came to confiscate the majic dust to power their cosmic endeavors!!!
The coverup is most unfortunate however!!! Keep on keepin on!!! You rock!!!
oh man that’s shitty. You still blew the top off your previous record though!! You’re a legend in my eyes brother, ain’t nothin gonna change that. Either way the beans are going to be pure fire and anyone who doesn’t get pollen will still be able to find a killer male in the seeds you’re making.
