Might as well post this here as anywhere.
Mebe cockroach on Hermie's fan base.

I have no idea.
Came sans manual.
Not really even sure how to drive the thing.
He'p!

Mahalo,
Wee 'zard

So I'm gonna guess that it just may be the "potpourri pot" accessory for hrbal essence treatments. I've read about vapes and was considering one as I am asthmatic (on top of everything else, eh?).

What's your first impressions.
Does the herb taste the same?
Did you get a whip or bag system?

Fill us in, Brah!

M.P.

Of course!, That makes sense.
The stinkum-ater.
It's da piece that makes it legal.

Ooh! I'm thinkin' honey oil and soda straw.:stoned:

Mahalo niu MP.:thumbsup:
Da nex' one's on me.:jointsmile:

Oops! almos' fo'got.

It's a "dig it all" readout, prolly from China, kine t'ing.
Did some readin' and when I turned it down from the default, 500F., I stopped coughing up my spleen.
At about 360F. I didn't think I was getting anything but aroma and a nice, spicey taste.
'til I tried to stand up, jus' could not find my feet.
Still missed the taste of the smoke, but was too high to toke.:jointsmile:

Dat's mo' betta.
I gonna play wit it an' get back to ya'll.

It seems, we've lost our big kahuna.
D. H.! You ok?

Worryin' weeze

[DreadedHermie]

Sorry, man. Just real busy. Haven't had a chance to sit down and try to think my way out of this. I got tripped up trying to avoid doubling a pawn, and now I'm all tangled up in myself.

Seems like the most logical move is P - QR3. That really makes my knight look attractive, though, and I was kinda trying to avoid that. But, yeah, P-QR3.

That works!
My Bishop beats feet.
B - QB4
Well, well. Seems a good perch.

Looks like you are forming a plan.
Here's grist for that mill.

Take a look at my Bishop's foray.
It was not really about the knight at all.

So, ya gotta ask yerself.
What was it about?:detective1:

Could be just for funzies, yah?

Good to see ya back brah.

[DreadedHermie]

I figgered you were just trying to sucker me into stacking up my pawns again. Now that I've prematurely "developed" my queen, might as well try Q - KN5.

I am trying a new hydro project (plant torture). You know those annoying peat pots the big box stores sell their plants in? The ones they say to just plant "whole," plant and all? (Never liked the results, at least for container gardening...they seem to hamper root development to me....but damage the root hairs if you remove 'em.)

I picked out a nice beefsteak tomato plant in a 6" peat pot, with a few small roots trying to poke through the bottom. I dropped it straight into an 8" netpot and filled the sides with smooth pea gravel. I set that on a saucer with a splash of water in it, and the plant seems to be wicking it up okay so far. So, it's going into a bubble bucket. I'll top-feed it only as necessary until the roots realize there's a buffet below.

Just seeing how simple I can make this. The plant's still in the peat pot full of dirt. Just add rocks. :thumbsup: Some of the prettiest cannabis roots I've ever seen were growing, hydro-style, into this type of stone. Usta use ~3" or more for "drainage" in soil grows and always wanted to try it for hydro. It'd beat chasing pH and orange dust everywhere.

I guess the only question is: can I develop sufficient hydro roots before drowning the plant in mucky soil? I hope so. My cherry toms are doing great, but they tend to pop out of sandwiches.

Nope.
We already did dat.

Did not expect you to move the Queen twice.
Thought you'd try to repair your opening.

Not lookin' a gift gal in da mouth, mind you.
I'll be happy to dog her with lesser pieces while I finish my opening.


Perhaps this will clarify.
0 - 0
Part of the "prep".

My king will keep white queen from noshing on pawns and this links my rook and queen.
Next. I'll be looking to develop my white bishop and control more area.

It will be a race without a bubbler in the saucer.

I no like peat pots either, for the same reasons.
Don't even like net pots much. The good ones are too strong and cut into the roots.
The cheap ones do also, but they, at least, will eventually rip open to accomodate root girth.

No worry, stick wit' da hydro an' yer "cherry" toms gonna get sandwich sized.

I raised peppers and tomatoes first, to see what grow method was best, before I risked $ 10 -20 seeds.
(Yep, OCD, and cheap!)
DWC won!
[attachment=o238508]
Just started a new DWC project to test the claim that roots from separate cannabis plants, compete for space, water, and food, underground.

The first run is 6 siblings in my "square peg inna round hole" DWC bubbucket.
Lookin for a cannabis cat fight.

The next run will be 4 different strains. with the same set up.
I got a friend here that grows his mini-trees in huge dirt trays.
Got to wondering if that was hurting his yeild.
My expectation is, that one plant, one bucket, will beat the pants off rub-a-dub-dub!
V shell C.
I'd love to get surprised by this one.

Anyroad,
I have Castled my cowardly King.
We'll now see If I whine, or sing.

I'll jus' hang, here.:thumbsup:

you've nothing to fear.":jointsmile:

An' gimme dat guitar, ya :hippy:queer!
Take dis rifle, chug dis beer.

You lot gotta do da killin'!
No spare clergy, no spare chillun.
Dis kine war is royal fun.
I'll be out when da s-laughter's done.

You musta missed the bubble-bucket part...That'd be a pretty pathetic root-mass display--half-inch roots in a sun-baked saucer.....

Don't even like net pots much. The good ones are too strong and cut into the roots.

I remember that third pic. You'd captioned it, "This lady had to quit the dance early because her shoes got too tight" or something like that. It stuck in my mind :tin foil hat: cause I wondered why you couldn't use some little diagonal cutters to open up some Ausgange for the larger roots...

Ooops...gotta run...but about castling: is there a "normal" response to an opponent's castle in terms of which side I might castle to? Do players like to be castled face-to-face, or catty-corner?

I somehow picked up the impression there's a general advantage to castling queenside (which would just figure, cause you've gotta move one additional piece outta the way). Or is it situational, depending on how the opponent's got his pieces deployed?
