I would say stress or I just missed it now I’m tripping on some of them

That's fine, really.
But I didn't want to see that! I just got the male/female thing figured. Ahhhh.

I bent it pretty bad and balls came out fast

 

[BearWater]

Yep, this is why it takes 2 (couple) to survive this world. Hopefully at least one of you remembers shit. LOL

I’d be lost with out my wife! : ) not even joking lol. When she was sick last year in the hospital that was a HUGE eye opener in so many ways. When we can find that truly special someone life becomes more than amazing : )

Okay, I think I've found the tool to see the little tiny balls and hairs.
When I worked on PC boards I used this and then hubby reminded me about it. Mine have plastic lenses. Works great! My hands are free and I'm not squinting.

Thanks PlumberSoCal, I'll check my DollarTree out. It's always good to have a variety of magnifiing devices handy for us 'old people'. LOL

Did you get all of the 20s filled yet? Or are you easing into it?

They are all filled, And I put at least 3 in each. BUT I still have too many female plants.
Sooo, I ordered 24, 5 gallon bags and am going to put the extra photos in them.
THEN, I'll take the remainer and pop them into the dirt where I put the extras last year.

Sure hope the neighbor kid doesn't rat on me. I didn't give him weed last year 'cause of my disaster.

Just make sure he knows that when you get back in the black, he will get his cut! In the work world, yearly raises, aren’t guaranteed!

Looking good over there !!! But holy moly you REALLY went all in for not wanting to deal with a bunch of big plants

 

[cpurola]

Ya know, life is fleeting and I love growing these plants.
To think I may have only 8-10 more tries growing outdoor, I'm all in. LOL

Oh, bear, it's alright, just the cycle of life. Reality.
I'm feeling good for now, but I don't see myself doing this at 80 yrs.old. LOL

youre awesome cpurola! yeah i figure its just the beginning!

Glad you’re feeling good! I totally understand what youre saying. Im trying to slowly introduce my kids into it so they can learn and when im old and really broken maybe they’ll grow me a plant i can use?

well you wont have to grow it if you want it C! ; )

 

[Beazy]

Love the enthusiasm

So, I can count on you to help trim? LOL

 

[Beazy]

I got all the trimming I can take I just popped 2 seeds to put outside so they stay small. First day above ground I set them on the floor by patio door turned around for no more than 30 secs and my 25 yr old cat had one completely uprooted and just laying there on top of the soil. How the hell she did that without breaking the taproot is beyond me but it survived so I will be on the outdoor thread soon enough with my lil’ babies

 

[cpurola]

So, the one gallon pots are anoying to water so I water from the bottom. Just plunge it into a storage container of water, wait a minute or 2 or 5, then remove and 'bobs your uncle'.
Found a carrying holder that works like a charm speeding up the process.

BTW, threw some recharge in the water.

 

[cpurola]

Divided up the remainder plants and transplanted approx. half (24) into 5 gallon pots.
I know a little cramped, too bad. LOL

I'm planning on putting most of the remainder into the dirt plot next to the 12.
Got the landscape fabric today and I'm going to try and get them planted in the ground tomorrow.
Probably between the raindrops.

So you are putting the remaining ones into the suspect soil from last year? If you are, I think that’s a good idea!
