Short little plants but they've got some nice hard pine cone buds that smell sweet.
Here we go again fk fk fk Feb has not been good. I was in my flower room moving things around and I bumped into the light shade with my head. I've done this many times in the past without problems, its at 5' from the floor and I'm 5'6". Today I whacked it and the whole fking light came down shade and all, I didn't think it possable , light burning bright, smashed into 1 plant but I saved the lamp from hitting the floor. FK Fk Fk I managed to get it back on its hook without further damage.

The Galiano Candy took a hit, Split the stalk down the middle about 3" long fkf fk fk.I added some rooting gel to the crack and wired it shut with gardening wire. I hope that'll save it but 2 days into flowering is not the time for stress.

I could see how you wanted that top hat reflector on your head. :-)

Lol not really, I ducked but misjudged badly, if you could see how little of a widow it had to get knocked off, any other angle or spot on the reflector it wouldn't have come off. It had to be at the perfect angle with just enough force and it was.
There I was reflector in hand, lamp inches from the floor burning bright, woooo now what fk/me I was real lucky just to be able to loop it back on the hook and not have it explode in my face had I cracked it. I'm lucky I caught it before it smacked the cement floor.The plant took the brunt of it and suffered the consequences with the broken stalk.

The timer was easy to program, that manual is an 8 page picture book simple step by step instructions. Misleading manual image.
Fk fk fk another day another fking problem. I opened the curtain this morning into the flower room and there my Chem Dawg was hanging like a dead horse fk I thought I'd checked it yesterday but bone dry. I watered and pulled it out of the bright lights for an hour and she lifted up and she now looks okay but she's going to lose some fking leaves over this.
My male outside is not doing well at all chuckle chuckle

Odd leaf colour, just one side gone funny.

I had the Coleman on my list several years ago. $300 for a blow up jacuzzi. I just couldn't place the order.

Had a client 5 yrs ago with a 2 person hard plastic, electric motor and pump who wanted $700 (what they paid to have a new motor installed). They passed away several years ago and I have no idea what happened to the spa. No doubt the kids sold it for a couple hundred. I really need one.

I'd love one half a dozen times a year. We had our bathroom redone when I had no hips so I could wheel into a shower, so no tub anymore and now that I'm human again I'd like to submerge some nights into a hot bath, We have a cat deck 10x20 that I could put one of the Coleman I saw on amazon $600 Cdn. Hot bath -15c bong ya I could do that twice, then she'd be stored.

We were in Iceland once for 3 days after a trip to Spain and went to the Blue lagoon to go for a dip in Feb one year. -20 c wind blowing about 30 miles an hour. We walked in and ventured out to the pool but the distance between the change room and the pools was about 100 ft, I could see me getting into the pool but I couldn't see me getting out and wife was no fking way for any of it. I'll watch see said but the pools were engulfed in fog, you couldn't see 10 ft into the pools. We could here people in the pools but saw no one get in or out. lol

Last Dec we went camping, Santee lakes, and they have a jacuzzi. Wife and I spent a couple nights in it but getting out was a bitch in 50F weather. I can't imagine doing so if it were colder!

I use a somewhat similar hood (mine is white enamel), and had a somewhat similar issue happen to me a while back. The clips that hold the wires at the top of the reflector became loose, causing the bulb and socket to plummet to the floor... but it ran out of loose cord about 3 inches before impact. None of my lights are in any type of enclosure, so it would have been a mess!

I used to have a hot tub and LOVED using it when it was zero outside. The steam was unreal and you don't feel the cold at all... even when you get out (if your temps are high enough). The biggest problem was walking thru 3 ft of snow to get to the tub!

When the night time temp drop in fall but the pool is still usable we put towels in the dryer so when we get out in 60F we can warm up. 0 isn't a temp, it's a baseball score😉

We were on the Big Island Hawaii one year and the last day we spent the day around the pool and I was in the hot tub drinking beer all day. We got on the plane home the next day and my knutts were feeling a bit heavy and painful. The next day I was supposed to go to work but no way 1 had almost doubled in size and oh the agony. Saw my Dr. he gave me a nut cancer pamphlet and how to live with only 1 and sent me to the emergency dept. On the drive I was thinking this was going to be the last drive with both of the boys after They took me right away My Dr. had called ahead I was really worried now. Dr. came in grab ahold, felt around a bit cracked a joke and said not to worry. It seems I'd slow roasted my nuts ( hard boiled) and they would shrink when the tissue softened, gave me some pills and I got another week off. 😃😃

LOL out in 60f needing warm towels to warm up lol crack me up you warm weather guys. You wouldn't make it through the whole 8 months of winter up here. We'll see 60f in 3-4 months from now, 60f up here we'll be layering down to t shirts and shorts. 10 F this am with wind = 3.2F. We needed a warm towel. ..........60F I'd need a cold drink & an iced bong lol 😄😄😄

Off the subject but a fellow grower is in Mexico and it got me thinking of our trips and we've taken a lot. I'm going to try and use Google maps and create a diary of our trips so bare with me please.
Where to start.
@ 22- I went to Oahu with my 10 speed and road around the island until I ran into a bunch of like minded folk on the beach and they kidnapped me to their camp site and we stayed on the beach for around 9 months.
after returning to Vancouver I made some money wiring and headed south on my 10 speed to California to hook up with others that I'd met in Hawaii and were teaching me how to be an American lol.
I stayed and worked in San Louis OIbisbo for about 9 months and with a girl I met we went to Hawaii with tent and $200. I found work right away on the cruise ships and stayed for about 9 months and my girl friend got pregnent some how.
Not being legal we flew back to Vancouver had the baby then about 9 months later back to California until some fisticuffs between us sent me back to Vancouver.
