thank you very much!! the sour gorilla was a little wilted, I’m guessing because it was late in the day. overall the octos have been fantastically low effort, so like really really good.

Another beautiful grow in progress! Bravo Lady.
I’ve got my four brand new micro OctoPuppy pots all prepped and ready for a first shot at this intriguing method. I’m studying the threads of you OctoExperts for guidance.

PS, we watched the new “Dune” movie last night. It’s been awhile since I read the books, but the flick was well done I thought.

@SaintAliasKnife the plants look beautiful

@GrouchyOldMan good luck with the octo - grow

Best of luck on your run @GrouchyOldMan . tag me in when you run it. I’d love to see it.the only useful thing I can tell you is to make sure the wicking netcup touches water all times. its a pain since the 3" ones are so short. mine dips a few millimeters into the water at the half gallon point.
I’m a bookworm. eyecandy is fine but book is canon. Thou shalt not fuck with it. Movies/TV show are all sinners in this respect and I say this as an ordained minister…how dare they put themselves above the creator. it is blasphemous. dune, foundation, altered carbon…all books I loved. but whaddoiknow. im just the knife. used to be a razor then Occam got dulled.
@Papalag I’m loving the PK man.ChronicKyle was too generous by half. I am very thankful of this forum’s members.

Yep, Bookworm here too, although I admit I’m trending Kindle in my dotage.
If you haven’t read it yet, consider The Three Body Problem by the Chinese writer Liu Cixin. The trilogy is well written and very thought provoking.

oh yea kindle all the way. how else im gonna have 463 books in my hand…
yeah, I read it. and his other books. they’re definitively interesting. scifi written by someone who thinks very differently. althou the scenes from the cultural revolution in the 3 body problem were memorable and they personally resonated. i’m a product of similar culture.
just finished gods of smoke and jade. 1920 flapper wanabe gettin ridden by aztek gods but smacked of young adult lit. meh. re-reading a Neal Asher book right now. I need to look for more, the latest goodreads sugestions have been duds0
Tom Holt is funny as hell. his king mordak (king of the goblins, in Isengard, many years later) is one of my favorite characters ever. his alterego (KJ Parker) has funny/serious low fantasy. the 2 of swords is a decent read, the swordsman arch is disturbing but I count put it down…expance is so much better in the books, delicious violence and HARD scifi neal asher polity universe. pissed off AIs that can hurl moons and xenophobic man eating space crabs.
aaaanyway i’m rambling. lol

a bowl is most useful when it is empty. or two men walk into a bar, third man ducks.
Another uneventful week is done. they’re great, I love boring. 2.5gr Jack’s TAP + 0.5gr epsom. ph 6.3, ppm 530 over base. they seem to love it.
Sour Gorilla on day 58 (Week 8) finally getting darker greens and some lift in the leaves. don’t know what she was unhappy about but she seems less upset now.
Purple Kush day 58, getting chunky. end of the week will switch to Jack’s FINISH. leaves are turning violet.
Lemon shot roots are in the water. she’s growing visibly. at least 1cm from this morning just today.
so…
yea, the vaporised flower run through the cold water. it hits exactly like you think. then you read the same paragraph 3 times and you’ve no idea wtf you just read but surely another time will solve the problem, maybe I should play around with the laser or maybe update the thread. I don’t know. Good stuff, the mango sunrise.

thank you so much, lady. I really appreciate the support. just been chuggin along, tbh. I come home, I spend an hr or so each day just basking in the light , reading and looking at the green. it’s a pleasant wind down from the day. I look forward to it. the better half, went through my grow room and put order and organization. Now I can sit down and read there. I’ll post some pics in my next update.

Lemonshot on day 35. roots fully in water drinking almost half gallon every other day. LST and more LST.
Purple Kush is living up to her name.
