The Feds have already stated they will be going after the large grows in the valley this year as well as any on public lands. But I`m deep in the forest on my personal property and I`ll be playing it cool . I also have an ace up my sleave just incase. I do agree they are more likely to hit growers this year and many people are pulling out of the game or growing much smaller here in Cali this year.

Got back and was I pooped! This morning the sun is shinning and going to put the seedlings out to green up a little. Got Good results with most these seeds popping through the soil. Only one Blackberry so far and no Danberry Blue and only one Wifi that just come up this morning and still has the shell on it. The White,Red Bud,and Super Hero are all up. Still early and I expect more of the Danberry Blue,Blackberry,and Wifi to come up .I still have a few seeds of each if there are any problems with these. I only popped maybe 6 of each.

I got a call from my buddy and the Orange Deseil cuts from Boo are doing great. He also got some SFV,Green Crack,Humbolt Special Reserve,Deisel and a few other cuts going as well. It`s starting out a good year for strains.We may have to replace the forest up here this year and do some serious logging come Fall!

Just wanted to run this old idea past some folks. An out door 4 pack one good genetics and three packs of the worst krap that can be had.All S1`s so pollen doesn`t come into it. The three bad genetics would be ditch weed x really bad mexi brick. OK there it is , one for the cops two for the rippers and one for meds! What do you all think?

They never showed up so I called the grower and got a message that his messages were full. He called me back right off but my phone conction was poor so don`t know what he was saying. A cold front came through and it snowed yesterday and last night but nothing on the ground this morning and the sun is out today.

I may have found a colvert pipe for sale locally!

Today I`m headed over to repot the seedlings in cups,I understand they are not doing well in there soil. If I get time I`m thinking of picking up some of the trash people have dumped in the woods near by. The last batch of seedlings are in my pop up tent and doing ok. I found a small GDP from last year that started up from the old roots of a cut plant and it looks just like a seedling Never seen anything like that before! It`s kind of like it revegged and then rerooted it`s self! And it`s been snowed on several times this winter to boot! I`m planning on doing some cuttings from this one! It was a Kin`s cut from clone.

I have a dear friend named Lilma who is in the hospital that has been on my mind a lot lately. She has stage 4 canser in her lung and liver and had a hart attack. She`s a mother and grandmother and she has been so brave! I`m asking all to pray for her if you would please? I knew her from Over Grow days and she is a very nice person. May the Saints preserve her!

I checked on the seedlings and the soil was still to wet for transplanting into larger containers. So iIcleaned up the site my former partner used to camp at. It was a mess! I still have three more dump sites to clean up where people dumped there trash in the woods.I`ll have to spend my time ,gas and money cleaning them up but I just can`t keep driving by them and do nothing about it. I still need to finish cleaning out my Alaska septic and then I need to work on my water storage tanks for the grow. So much needs to be done,clearing,fiences,security mesures,soil and containers,ect. After everything is as ready for planting as possible I`ll be able to start working on the road to my property again! I just hope the rippers will leave me alone this year but I`m preparing for them if they don`t.

I repotted 57 seedlings tonight! got a few more to get done but need some more containers and lables to finish em. I have lost a number of plants but I think most will pull through. I may start a few more seeds to cover some strains . Got some more trash to pick up tomarrow and work on my septic tank. Can`t wait until we start getting better weather so I can get started on my grow this year.

I hope so also! I got my chores done this morning and am thinking of taking a shower and cleaning the RV. I need to go to the Post Office and check my mail ( Netflix movie in),so holding off on the tea until I get back.Thinking of adding some shrooms to the poppie tea and maybe some Apple Cinnamon spice and honey.A nice bowl of hash would also help this morning so I`ll bring that with me and stop on the way back at a friends house,I need to return a tool to him anyway. Next trip to town I`m thinking of getting one of those rubber hot water bottles just for this kind of thing! I can`t use a electric heating pad unless I want to run the big generator to do it. My ham string has two big knots in the muscles and they really hurt! All black & blue also! may have torn something?

Well the hash helped a lot more than I had hoped and my friends gave me some potasium tabs that also helped.Still very sore but I`m going to just take some time to heal.Don`t need the tea now,just some rest.We`ll see how it goes in a few days. I think I over did myself is all. I have to remember I`m getting older and am disabled and just slow down myself some. Doesn`t mean I can`t get stuff done just need to take it slower. At some point I should get some help up here,maybe a strong younger second person to help out some and also help gaurd the garden sometimes.

Sounds like things are going pretty well for you, very sorry to hear of your friend with the stage 4 cancer. I will include her in my prayers. Good to hear your getting some stuff done, I just planted 72 feminized seeds for this years outdoor crop. At least most of it, I planted 4 types of Divine Genetics and 4-5 others. I did plant the super sour skunk and those aren't feminized. Oh well, glad things are going decent for you. Take care

Lilma is doing better.They drained her lungs and she is breatheing much better now. Also she is eating a little. She is still in pain but they don`t want the pain meds to slow her respatory so they are trying to balance pain vs. Breath.

My leg(s) is getting better here fast. We got two more days of rain and maybe an other one for things to dry out.Not alot to to untel then but rest up and mend. It`s a warm rain so far so good! All there is to do is morning chores and house keeping until it clears up. I may start some more seeds thought!
