Day 101
pH madness. Lunacy.
Rises every day in each pot, brought down every day with tons of pH Down.
Nobody’s drinking. Stagnation and decline (though mug1, to be fair, started to do show some more pep in her step after a few corrections) but im not looking to be spending the rest of my days testing ph and correcting it over and over. Caught myself eying the Gallon jug of pH down. In the before times, i’ve seen it and practically guffawed at its gargantuan volume. Guffawed! 🫢

Perked up a bit, but too little, Almost too late.
You might even be a male, who knows.
Whats that smell? It smells like a Test your Might challenge in 3, 2, 1….

Never a looker, but her tiny flowers started looking pretty this week. Then started looking sad, and hasn’t bounced back. Not drinking much at all. If i get even halfway smokable buds out of her ill count myself lucky AF 
. Maybe even blessed and/or highly favored

Congratulations traveller.
For you have discovered: 
The buried lede:sparkles:
So last week, i secretly replaced Joe’s Folger’s Crystals (20-20-20), which had been burning her tips since she was a flower child, and crankifying the shit out of her through her flower adulthood, with brand X instant coffee (5-12-26) and see if she notices… i think she noticed. RIP Joe 🪦
Dropped over dead and started drying a day or two before i realized. She was at 10 weeks of flower just abouts, but Suuper wispy thin buds. i was just trying to bulk her up a little with our naive coffee prank, but it proved fatal - at actually a pretty good time.
After i noticed her drying, I chopped her stalk and just let hang there for 2 more days in the dark at around 40% / 70F. Normally i dry for much longer before a trim and cure, but she was brittle dry stemwise (but still sticky Sticky budward). Trimmed today, almost 7 big ones ( grams lol) bagged. Basically a bunch of sticky terpy leaves…
BUT. Two beautiful words: Scarlet Grapes.
Two more words: Holy shit. it is Potent, Delicious, with a Super Pleasant and focusable high, even harvested under these conditions. Taste is like: soak 5 skittles in a shotglass of water for ten minutes, then drink the water (not the skittles). Almost exactly like that.

Because i am impulsive sometimes, i do some stuff i cant always justify later as practical, or sane. But i do the thing, then that thing is done, and we all gotta kind of get ok with it.
This is one of those things. Just so sick of the drain on my mindjunk with these two. Double decker club sandwich time.
Fueled by a diner breakfast dose of caffeine, and numbed by the prospect of pH groundhog day for the next few months, i did something bonkers today.
It came to me like a good idear when i woke up today and i decided a pivot no one would ever recommend was just the ticket to regaining control over them (even if that means taking the stick and flying them into the side of a mountain) 
Filled another pot with dirt, dusted the roots with myco, nestled the whole top, roots, netcup and all into it and bobs yer uncle. No more swimmin’ for These bowlegged wimmin’.
If they die, they die and ill be free of the burden of watching them suffer. If they live it will be epic!
Strong survive, losers dissolve in the sarlacc.

. So if that can come from a totally botched grow, maybe i cant really fuck things up Too bad, even if it looks like i ordered the whole plant “flower whispy, extra crispy”
