WhoDat back at it.

starfish is cool man, i'm reading a book at the moment about a kraken cult and i was going to suggest a squid but decided not to. then lo n behold, if that starfish had a few more arms and a mantle.

we lost a starfish on earth last year due to climate change. i was doing research all night on the most recent animals to go extinct. sucks that we directly caused it(no us) but humans.

on the plus side, the ny times reported they'd found the colossal squid. sucks about losing animals like that. i found out the other day that ivory trade is still legal in china. couldn't believe it.

China is doing a lot of stuff that is harming our planet... you think the U.S. is hard on natural resources and emissions... man, China leaves us in the dust. Getting them to come around in the next quarter century will be mandatory in order for us all not to fry like bacon.

But let's get positive! Positivity is what helps us all, not scare tactics and pessimism. Whodat, I'm editing that post up there with the images and pasting a transcribed version up instead. Please stand by!

edit: Alright, looks like the edit is up. All info should be there. . . check out the links, too, and enjoy.

Here is what we've lost in my lifetime. i'm glad we are the only thing that can take ourselves off this planet. because if animals had it there way we'd be toast. each extinction was caused by humans in one form or another.

That is some depressing shit right there.

Yeah, but how many species have been discovered in that time. Life is fucking awesome, no matter how much people try to screw it up. There will always be beauty and there will always be diversity. It makes me sad too that things are gone forever... but there is so much out there to marvel at, I try not to spend too much time worrying about what's not there.

quick search found this:
During the last 20 years, Conservaton International has found more than 1,300 new species.

EDIT: Look at this article. They found an orchid that blooms at night (among other things)

Nice article jig. I love that the earth is still able to creat new-ness. Nothing goes to waste. But i can't imagine the day when i'm telling my son or daughter about how Lions WERE. Lol, love how they name the shroom spongbob squarepants mushroom.

It is a double sided coin... glad there is some optimism out there, Jig!

Gotta go check on the girls...

The golden toad is still going I'm sure. I saw a program, its in captivity sadly tho

Dude, lemme know when you get a chance to look over that shtick, and check out those links. I think there is some interesting stuff there... Microbeman knows his stuff.

I am so high right now. I just took vapobongs of Purple Afgani, XJ-13, and Girl Scout Cookies. I haven't been this baked for awhile. My eyes feel all itchy and puffy. You know where I'm at. I don't know where I'm at though. Have a good one!

Wish I was as high as you lol. Man I had some very high nights when I had my old operation going much much sampling of product to do and on a constant basis lol high times indeed

I havnt gotten to it yet but will soon when I come back for an update. Thanks again for the links Im always interested in new info!





On the animal/planet subject... it is sad what we are doing, but the earth has been through much worse and will be here long after us. Life is just too powerful of a force for us alone to destroy,,, creation will exist as long as destruction does and thats forever.
Long live life!

Sweet! That's badass dude, I also dig the background. Have you tried color transitioning LED's with them? A friend of mine is tinkering with them and its pretty sweet. If you have one you should check it out. Smoke a BT first, obviously. lol

Something to peep if you're into art and painting, some work done with spray cans. I think he uses red colored LED to display the final piece.

Finally buffered lol
That is badass bro. Just finished "tea bubbles" it aint that^ good haha. Iv never heard of this LED thing, very cool.

I'll have to stick with stick with water based mediums for now, I paint in the grow building and any fumes from solvents would most likely effect the plants.

Day 17

They responded quickly to the tea I gave them this morning. Everything got a bit darker, see for yourself!






?p x BnS
Im thinking these will be pretty dank. Most of the BnS crosses are giving off that oh so lovely familiar BnS stench awww man I love that BnS smell. Getting a strong whiff, I can feel it in my cheek bones





?p x BK ..... A bit indica you think? Two different plants.





MVK


Mmmmmmmmmmmmm.... MVK looking good



Tea Bubbles













New plan...
I hope to have my veg area built tomorrow or the next day, weather permitting of course. Then everything will be x~planted into 1 or more gallon containers, they will NEED it very soon... Then veg until they show sex. Will be flipping the switch end of first week of february regardless. So, no sexing. I see no point in flowering for a week just to put back in veg for a week the put back in flower,,, now that would be too much and most likely induce herm. If I were going to veg for another 6 weeks I would go ahead and do the deed.

Sound like a plan? ok good its final

jesus man that strain looks insane!!

Im guessing your on page one lol. Yeah that ?p is cray.

hell of a plan,should be right around that time they show sex for you anyway.

likes the looks/growth of that MVK,and the rest to.
that ?purp x bns,i hope gives out big ass ?purp buds,with the added taste of bns.....BNS nugs,with ?purp frost...and a nice mix of the two highs.

That was the plan lol Imagine that, giant FROSTY buds.


Dug around and found I actually have enough containers on hand to transplant 40 plants, awesome. Now I need to dig around and see if I have enough plywood and 2x4 to build the veg... Give me some 2x4s and plywood and by golly I'll build a fucking grow room haha.

Rain has cleared up for now so I should finish my tea and get started. My 55 gallon rain barrels have been overflowing, its safe to say its a bit soggy out there.

And just like that, we have activation I hope to be using this compost by next run.

thats the bizzness,steming goodness,can not wait to get me one of them going.
haha,donkeys...i remember them from the pen,crazy lil things,that one in the middle looks like one of them..looks like she has a thick head.
