How you mean??? What part of the world are you on??

I put one in the greenhouse when it was still in the 20's at night and all the hairs turned red. Was quite surprised when I opened the door and saw it

I also quit watering it and it lasted way longer than I thought it would!

Lake effect??? That's crazy... We actually hit 84 degrees here and the pool hit 86.5.. Nights have been around 57 degrees. I am starting to fight high temps in my flower room already

It killed all my plum tree blossoms. That tree is fifteen years old and I've only ever gotten two plums

That blows!!! our cherry tree blossomed this year so we will see what it give us. Last year the pears were delicious and my dog loved the crab apples..

Is it no-till soil or some other variation? 2 gallon pots with water only? How has nobody else commented on this. I thought you needed at least 3-5 gallon for organic water only

On the no till thing, when the glaciers rolled through they took the top soil. So I kind of live on a sand pile. I just dig holes and plant in them. the people next to me till and plant. When it gets dry and windy, it blows dust everywhere. One day I was outside cooking on the grill some guy in a tractor (they lease that land) comes by with some kind of spray probably fungicide, the wind takes it straight to my bbq

Well if your dog got off, something positive happened. As long as the dog isn't picking tomatoes.

Sorry to hear that Butchy. That's a tough thing to do putting a dog down. They really become part of the family.

A friend of mine had to put his dog down a few months back and the vet he goes to has a really cool thing he does in these cases. He gave my buddy some time alone in the room to say his goodbyes, and then he came in and opened up his desk drawer. Inside the drawer was a bunch of Reesee's Peanut Butter Cups and other candy bars. He explained to my friend that chocolate is the forbiden fruit for dogs their entire lives, so he always offers a candy bar to people that are putting their dogs down. What better way for a pooch to go out than to enjoy something they've never been allowed to. I am going to adopt this idea and do this for my dog when it's his time.....

I give my dog chocolate. hes 12 years old and still acts like a big 100 pound puppy. Beer is his favorite he doesn't care what kind it is either. I wont give him a entire chocolate bar but a bite doesn't hurt him at all.

I have had him for 16 years. When I found him he was malnourished and dehydrated to the point that the vet wanted to put him down. He also had a missing tooth, broken rib and cuts all over him. I have given him the best life I could and will miss him terribly!!

My last doggy lived for 18 years...

Back to water only!!

Here is one of my Plattinum Bubba's at day 25. It's in a 18 gallon tub with a mix of Pro-Mix HP, Happy Frog soil conditioner, Used soil, Mushroom compost and the usual amendments of crab meal, oyster shell, alfalfa meal, kelp meal, humic acids, green sand, dolomite lime and Azomite.




This is a Blue Magoo at day 51. This soil is a mix of used soil and mushroom compost with my old amendments... Steer manure, chicken manure, epsom salt, blood meal, bone meal, green sand, ironite and dolomite lime. I have discontinued the used of some of these amendments.

Sounds like you treat your dogs and your plants very well!

Have you grown that Blue Magoo before? If so, what do you think of the smoke? How was the yield? I just picked up a pack of Dynasty Blue Magoo BX2 from NGR and would love to get some info on it.....

Cheers

My blue magoo is from a clone I purchased almost two years ago. I grew out 15 of them then forced one to seed with Colloidal silver prior to moving here. This is a clone of a clone from one of those seeds .
The mother of this one is just like what I made the seed from so I imagine the same as the original clone!! This is number 17 for this strain. I run a perpetual room so there is a variety at all stages of flower in there most of the time.

It is a stretchy plant as in a ton of node spacing. It's not uncommon for it to have 6-8 inches between nodes. I have grown it as tall as 55 inches and got 7 dry ounces from it. There are not a ton of flowers per say but the size and density makes up for it in my book. It makes large dense flowers! I mean dense, thick, hard flowers!!
This strain has a sort of unpleasant odor. It smells like mold.... While it is growing and after the cure it smells like mold. Bust a bud open and the dankness fills the room . My self and others enjoy the high as it is not couch lock. I don't focus on this strain so much... Lol!! I don't focus on any of my strains much!!! After all.. it's all about the soil right???

Here are two new plants. They are a cross between Platinum Bubba and a Lemon somethingerather.. I really do not know what the Lemon tasting plant is but I love it. The Lemon plant pollinated the Platinum Bubba and I got around 100 seeds so I popped two to see how they do. I also crossed the same with an XJ13 I have a baggie full of pollen sacks from it..

The one on the left is 10 days old and the right is 17 days old. They are in a half gallon pot with used soil and get 1 cup of fresh water every 5-7 days. It looks like my used soil is a tad hot for them but oh well ....
