Just a little journal............

[mand]

Hello Rastagal You know I sat at the computer last night with every intention of writting a reply. I had just smoked a joint and had a glass of vodka and orange to sip on
Anyway the computer is right next to the window and I just sat there listening to my favourite music, I like all kinds but have a fondness for 60's Motown and Ska . Well I became totally distracted by watching the dark clouds moving across the light from the moon
Before I knew it I had smoked a couple more joints and I was totally unable to type a thing
Honestly love you cannot beat "homegrown", it really is kinda satisfying in knowing you have grown something so nice from a tiny little seed all by yourself .
You'll soon know that feeling ................... promise


Hello BkSkillz To be honest love I am actually quite happy with the outcome, it's just that by doing a journal I became stressed by the thought of having to "deliver the goods" so to speak. When the plants were struggling I found my self becoming increasingly worried that the outcome was going to be an anti climax
It sorta took the fun out of growing and made it stressfull ........... does that make any sense
Oh and what am I wearing now ............... well it's a slinky PVC catsuit, with high heels, heavly made up and I have a whip in my hand
Only kidding ................ still in my PJ's well I'm going out tonight so I'm going to stay as commfy as possible for the day.


Hello Digi Not to worry love, The next crop is well under way. I spent most of yesterday morning riddling out the compost and tidying up the growroom. Hopefully the seeds will be sprouting some time tomorrow and with luck they will be in their pots by the evening and under the MH
I've never had total hermmies like this before, I have in the past had the odd little male flower but nothing to be concerned about .................. Ah well never mind I'll just carry on and keep my fingers crossed that it doesn't happen again


Hello Starchild How are you ?............I hope you are well and everything is ok
You must tell me what "Tincture" is ?, I've really never heard of it before
I've got quite a collection of small buds and resinous leaves and I'm not sure what to do with them



Bye for now ........................love mand xxx

OH Mand I loved and enjoyed this journal so much, I will miss it a whole lot I know you kind of felt like you had pressure being that your a pro and all but it happens to the best of us, I know for a fact that your a GREAT grower I mean look how you helped me so far . Maybe you can just take pix of your new grow and never post them untill you feel that it was sucessfull. Then you can maybe post it all at once at the end. Just a thought But I know that you'll be sticking around here so I'm not o about it. So thank you again Mand for helping me and for this journal :dance:

[mand]

Hello B and thankyou very very much
I'm not a "pro" though love, I only started growing as a cheaper alternative to buying and I only know the basics. When it comes to the technical stuff I'm totally lost
However I do grow now to give me that little something that is just for me, if you know what I mean . It doesn't involve the family or my kids, it has nothing to do with work .................. it's simply my own little thing
Well at present I have potted six of the sprouted new seeds and there are ten more to go, as soon as they poke the heads out of the soil they will be put under the MH.
I am going to try a slightly different approach this time by getting the light closer and I might give the "pinching" a miss.
I think that I might induce when the plants are a little smaller inorder to try and get some light to the bottom of the plants for a change

Anyway B I'm feeling a bit on the tired side today so I'm going off to bed for a while. I went out on a Christmas thingy last night and it was early this morning before I got home
Tell you what, my disco dancing around my handbag days are well and truely over with, I guess I'm just too old
Also I'm going to be crippled for days, I bet the person who invented high heels was a guy
No hangover though ....................... not at those prices

hey mand have you seen my thread lately?

[Easy Roller]

salut Mand ..vu parlay francais?

[mand]

Hello Mobay yes I've seen it, I left a post on there
Don't think it will be long before you're flowering


Hello Easy Roller I'm affraid not. I usually go over to France once or twice a year, my daughter always has a ride over with me, she can speak a little French that she she learnt when at school ( well she can speak French of a sorts ).
We cross at Calais and vist the hypermarket on the other side of town. Then have a drive to Bologne for lunch, afterwards it's a run to Adinkerke just in Belgium because that's the place for the cheapest ciggies and tobbaco. also theres a really nice little chocolate shop
Then back to the Eastenders warehouse in Calais to load up on booze.
I did once spend a few weeks in Normandy but anything past Bonjuor and Au Revoir ......................... and I'm lost

Yeh nice ..a little northerly for my fashion...But good show..I'm thinking 'vu habit a Kent' or around that neck of the woods....The drive sounds a bit too far otherwise...planes are the way to go..and cheaper on the petrol...but you can't load up the motor with goodies!

[mand]

Hello ER , Well Kent would be handy but it's a liitle bit further upwards in the midlands and it's well over two hundred miles to Dover but it's nearly all motorway and we take turns at driving
So what with all the driving over there as well, it's a very long day, we have to set off about 3.30am.
However it's just about the only time that my daughter and myself get to spend time alone together nowdays, without my grandson or family being there, it's become "our day" and we actually look forward to it
We always take the ferry as well. I never fancied the tunnel, on the boat you can have a break from driving and have a coffee and a snooze




Can I just say about the new grow. Well just fourteen out of the sixteen seeds have germinated, I'll give the last two a few more days but I can't see them doing anything now.
I started with eight sensi skunk and eight skunk#1 but I don't know which is which now . I put the pots in trays and put the trays on a small table in the kitchen. Anyway whilst I was looking for some little stickers to mark the pots with so I knew which one was which.
My grandson helped me by taking them out the trays and putting them all together on a chair, so now I havent a clue which is which
Anyway they are all on one tray now sitting under the MH bulb
