Bud Goodman's Perpetual Thread of Perpetually Good Buds, Man.

[MHippie]

Nice... No sense muddying the waters over there.
Welcome.

Yes... Well, for the bugs.
I brought plants inside that were started out... And they brought tag alongs.
Not to mention, it's just not feasible, being on a farm, keeping pests from coming in on me as well.


That's AWESOME!
Wish I would not have slept on the Durban... You should do an open pollination with that one.

Well anytime you get a bunch of growers talking politics, capitalism, and shit the majority of them know nothing about... Anyway was just trying to head that ine off at the pass. The last time some thing like surfaced here I got banned for 2 weeks :)))) Awesome grow man! Wish I had seen your work earlier.

Thank you... I appreciate that.

The Ignore feature is nice. I have never regretted using it lol.

If i wanted to debate people about that stuff i would go to the rest of the internet lol.

Day 47 for these ladies.

Day 47 for these ladies.

Beautiful work! Question. Why does everyone pay so close attention to the days on the plants?

I do it so I can compare in later grows. Helps me remember.

Oh. It always reminds me of that old show Name That Tune. Remember? :) "Bob... I can grow that plant in 63 days..."

Yeah i stopped counting in veg. For flower it's nice to keep track though.

 

[MHippie]

I used to diary all of my stuff in paper calendar journals, like day planners? My wife pointed out how much time I was spending on my online diaries (GD) and stuff. And she's right. Waaaaaaaaaaay too much.

The level of detail available on some strains by other growers on there is invaluable though.

Wish I could do this full time lol! Maybe one day....

i count the days because each day is all I have until the next one. Plus I keep daily notes so that helps.

Nice! I think I'm going back to that style.

 

[Hortulanus]

Nice! I think I'm going back to that style.

Mrs. Hort only gets upset if I’m on my phone too much but never for having a clipboard haha

honestly I find writing it so much easier than the new digital grow diary apps.

Beautiful work! Question. Why does everyone pay so close attention to the days on the plants?

When I book for vacations, it revolves around the grow. Usually months in advance.

 

[Rob21]

Yes I get that my says I love my garden more than her

Because keeping track of the hours seemed to be overkill.

Nice!... My notes aren't that detailed, but I keep a notebook next to the rooms. Really just for sharing the info here though... In the past, a piece of tape with the day flowering started, and the estimated harvest date, stuck to the door was more than enough.

What is this thing? Vacation?... Do tell.

I know my wife likes a gift on March 20th. I don't get her a gift on March 21st, I get her a gift on March 19th. She's happy and I get rewarded for it.
Recordkeeping.

If I know days 19, 28, 31, 43, and 57 of flower are where my plant bulks up a whole lot; I then know I should feed her a lot on days 18, 27, 30, 42, and 56. She's happy and I get rewarded for it.
Recordkeeping.

Recordkeeping makes everything that much more thorough and optimal. And you get rewarded for it.

See? My life is a lot more basic.

My wife likes gifts... always. If she could have an Amazon box to open up that she didn't order every day of her life, she would be the happiest woman on the planet.

I guess I'll go back to the paper stuff again. Seems a lot less tedious than take a pic, write a novel, upload, talk about it.

I take joy in the small aspects of it all.
The smooth, steady motion of the zipper when I open my tent - the nice natural 3500K light that bursts through as I break that seal.
Setting up my tripod's feet on the little pieces of tape I've had on the floor for a while; all the screws and levers and adjustments on that tripod - the way the grooves feel on my fingers.
Mounting my camera on a specific plane and aligning it as best as I can to match the previous day's alignment.
Getting everything in focus; setting my camera's parameters; and, finally, smashing that shutter-release.. waiting 5 seconds (as I count them methodically and on-time) and catching a minute euphoria from the clicking and clacking of the camera's shutter...

And that's all before I even fondle and sniff my buds...

Reporting it to you guys is just a way to contemplate my experience and further appreciate what just happened to me... every single day.

Flipping to flower; changing a feeding schedule; adding a new light.... that stuff becomes these paramount events that you draw deep gratification from and appreciate what it is to be a record-keeping, plant-fostering, image-capturing, word-crafting human.
Honing skills is some of the great magic that we cast. Words and numbers are the spells that impress those skills on time itself for your (and others) ready use at any given point.

You'd be really good at building and setting up superbikes... Don't do it.
