Some random pics today. The Dead ones are for the Captain..... ;)

My office, our sweet little cat, a mushroom hemp bag, a 9 million piece 3D wooden roller coaster puzzle, skylights, one of the new mini-split blowers.......

The Dead Skull rug, and these multi-colored plug-in bear lights.

Yeeeeeeeah! Easy and I may just “steal your rug” I know it ties the room together and all….
But that is super cool man. Was that a shakedown purchase? I like your bear……

Im digging that backpack…. Man. Ive got a pair of hey dudes that would go good with it/

Love the jerry bears too. Gotta be honest, im kind of a poser. Love grateful dead art, but the music never clicked with me. Very talented band, just not my sound

 

[Stokes]

Actually can i get a link to those bears lol

 

[Harpua88]

It probably doesn't matter if we show ourselves, I mean......it's pretty much legal. Maybe if I was in a bad state......of mind, why, what did you think?

Anyway, at least for 53 I still got my hair. :)

Nb man, I’m growing mine back out one last time. The pickings are slim on the right side of my head, so I know this last run at it is filled with grey now, but I’m ok with it, it’s gonna cover a few bad spots.

Nice. There's being a hippie......and There's playing dress-up. Big difference. Sometimes it's just regular jeans, good leather sandals, a tie-dye t-shirt.....or a plain shirt.

I also tie my hair back and put on a solid suit. I go conservative suit, crisp white shirt......and a Jerry Garcia tie. I bought dozens back in the 90s.

I do believe in quality. Conservative, cordovan leather wingtips, goodyear welted......

How about these? Blue Antelope suede boots.

And one of my favorite sneakers.....

The rug I bought directly from a tie-dye artist. The things they're doing these days is just crazy.

Well.......there's always your birthday. ;)

They used to sell them at nordstroms if you didn’t get them at a jerry show, I think you can still find them. It’ll have a blue “j.Garcia” tag on the back so you can verify it’s authenticity.

Another huge regret. I've seen Jerry with the Dead a bunch of times......never saw him with JGB or Gris

That’s artist has a great idea. I have literally dyed anything cotton on this earth, you name it, I’ve dumped gallons of proceon dye through it. Not a rug tho. Genius.

Not for kids only! yeah man, they didn’t get together a lot, but when they did brother…..

Yeah you can definitely get them online. What's great is that he has some classy ones that most people wouldn't think is Jerry. There are others that are totally psychedelic. I've got one that's a network of gremlins... :)

I may never use paper towels again. Seeds do just fine planted in light, moist, fluffy soil. I do like the idea of planting the seed "right side up". But between all the work and effort with the paper towels (I did over 80 seeds), the fact that you have a small window when the root just comes out, they all come out at different times, rates.....then, wait 12 hrs too long and the root drills right through the paper towels! I had to take a scissor and cut around each root......ridiculous. From now on, right into cups with soil. Maybe if I had just a few seeds of some rare variety.......but that's it.

You’re def more advanced than me lol I had some roots that went thru the paper towel I just pulled them right out but at 80 seeds that’s numerous bags to keep checking on it would be a pain soil def the way to go

Flower day 26:

73F
54% RH
SD light at 60%, RSpec 40%

Raising RSpec to 60% tomorrow

All males/flowers trimmed down and wrapped up. I am a stupid, stupid man. Stupid, stupid, stupid. I made a mistake. 8 do not have an MSNL Mazar male. I will correct, change and redo the list tomorrow.

Since they looked just fine handling a couple of days of turning the SD light up to 60% for a little while, I turned it up for good. Tomorrow I'll do the same thing with the RSpec and hopefully they'll both be at 60% in a couple of days.

Now I remember what it was like worrying about the flowering being slow or maybe there being something wrong......until right around now, day 25ish, when they kick into gear. Then the worrying ends and you wonder why you worried, again. Unless you really do something wrong, unless something really goes wrongĺ, right sround now they always start accelersting the blooming and you can breathe a sigh of relief. It takes a few grows or more to stop worrying between sbout flower day 15 and 25. It takes time for them to change over and time for them to start truly blooming.

About another 60 days, maybe more depending on the variety. I'll pollinate over the next week, slowly increase the nutrients to maximize blooming, and do my best to keep everything on point.
