Hi Mastakoosh - i noticed that for your location you have "in the depths of uranus" no doubt using the similarity between uranus and your anus as a little play on words.

I thought you should know the International Astronomers Union convened on 4/1/98 to discuss this dilemma and decided to rename the planet to avoid these unfortunate jokes and eradicate this scourge once and for all. I just wanted to share that with you so you can avoid any future embarrassments.
The scientists decided to rename the planet urectum.

Yeah, I check that shit several times a day. Before I go to work, on my lunch if I'm close enough, and at least 4 times after I come home. I have to agree though that they sometimes do better if I leave them alone. Alas, I'm afraid something might happen to the equipment, so it's rare I leave them alone. I went to the 'rents for the weekend two weeks ago and I was so nervous about leaving them that I bought a UPS in case the power went out!!!

and from there many, many other places. a new meme.

Does anyone ever name their plants? I named mine Bella, Sonya, and CiCi. Hopefully there will not be any sex changes!!!

lol this is just way too funny and if my gf read this she'd be writing all over here trying to understand why i spend more time with the plants then I do with her.. My lights turn on at 7am and off at 5:45pm.. In the morning even if I have had only 2hrs of sleep I am right at the door waiting for the lights to turn on.. At this point almost 4 months she is not willing to do this for a very long time.. I visit my plants about 50x a day to the point i get headaches cause of the HPS light... lmao!! Man this stuff is like a bad habit.. lol I love growing to much!!

now i feel totally embarassed so i will change it to its correct name.

On my first grow, I was in and out of my grow room uncountable times a day. But now I only check on them once a day, unless I am having PH or PPM issues. If so, I will check them once in the morning and once at night, or as needed.

good thing you made this thread i was feeling like a wierdo there. i am up at 5:30 and by 6:00 am i am waiting for the glow of the light to come on

I go on and off. Today I have only checked on them about once or twice, maybe three times. Some days I check on them constantly for no apparent reason, then the next (as in today) I have the "fuck it" mentality, to let it take it's course, almost like who cares what ever happens is meant to happen. (talking about waiting impatiently for the sex of the plant)

p,s. what is with you people getting up at 5am and 6am!!! Even if you have a nine to fiver, you shouldnt be up that early! My schedule is from 10am-10pm ,..Perfect!

Mine went on at 6:45 to 6:45, and when I get up at 5 it seems like forever to see that oh so familiar glow,,, 3 400watt hps and mh lights light that sh1t up............................................................................................

i spend so much time with my flowering plants i sometimes forget the ones in veg
on the otherhand i love to watch my buds get bigger by the hour! If you look real hard you can see new white hairs everywhere...EVERYWHERE!

or maybe i just smoke too much dank and zone out every night...oh and i see the ladies before the toilet every morn....

pff, you can never smoke too much dank! what kind of nonsense is that!

I havent named mine yet, but i do have them numbered for conversational purposes with my dad. Ill tell him how "number 3 has a yellow leaf and needs some N, but number 8 grew like 5 inches!"

and maybe cuz im not lit, but that makes NO sense to me haha

Thank God. I was beginning to think I needed a 12 step program specifically for this. Problem is that I can't seem to find a "Friends of Bud" locally.

You guys should include your girlfriends/wives in your grow. Tell them whats going on and what your doing. They will probably appreciate the time and money spent to grow a living things. When you think about it its pretty damn cool. Really like raising a child( not quite but you know what I mean ), so women are more prone empathize with your need to go in there all the time if you put it to them like that. My husband and I chill in the room together talk and watch our only two children. We even built the hydro system together from scratch which was good quality time.

i think it is good money to bet most of us did this and many continue to do so.

I will say that my plants have never grown better or faster than the times i've had to leave them be. sometimes the more you love them the less they grow.

I agree. This grow, I only see my plants when I feed/water, and twice a week I will spend about 5 minutes pulling dead leaves off of them and checking for mold and other problems. I hardly see them and they are doing amazingly well. I have broken myself of the need to gawk at them every 5 minutes when I am home. It's great. The grow flies by much faster when you aren't obsessed.
