My son ,deepthought, has the top half of the beds dug out and the amendments spread out over the bottem to mix in tomorrow. The soil from the top will have the rest of the amendments mixed in the cement mixer before being placed back in the beds. I'm going for another load of castings in the morning. We may not need help after all.

I have chores then off to get castings. Down side of farming is getting up so early in the morning and having to be there everyday to water and watch. Where are all the cheep farm laborers you hear about ? Thinking of advertising for rippers this year and putting out some live traps!

Got the castings. Had to much in the truck to make the hill so stopped off at a friends and loaded 50 gal barrel full for him. It was still like 10 mph on the grade. Also got supplies and rented a couple movies from Redbox. The movies nevefr made it home so they`ll be charging me $50 or so and don`t get to watch them, ouch! My son is going to pick up a friend to help him with the beds in the morning. Work goes on !

They went as far as they could on the beds before informing me we would need 55 more bags of manure. At that point they stopped work on the beds and we used a tow chain to pull up brush and move stuff out of the way for the office trailer. When that got done we filled the truck with trash for a dump run. I`ll do that in the morning and bring back the manure on the return. Ha Ha ! My son informs me he will not be working tomorrow and went to bed early. We`ll see how he feels tomorrow after I return I`ll need the truck unloaded and the water tank put back in it. Lot of progress today anyway.

Chock it up to getting old! I woke up early today but it was cold so after doing some chores I laid down and covered up to get wormed up. Next thing I remember is my son, deepthought, asking if I`m asleep. It was 1:30 in the afternoon! OK guess my son will get the day off he wanted. I`ll do some little things today and get right back at it in the morning. I hate myself today ,Bad MC , Bad... BAD! (Spank with rolled up news paper)

Any chance you could catch the herm male flowers and take them off before they dump? I`ve seen this done with an occasional herm female in some strains. They were worth the extra effort but should be kept away from the main crop. Long as it comes out good I guess.

Got a pallet of manure. Left the bathroom sink running and found out what happens when you over fill the holding tank with a full tank of fresh water. What a stinking mess ! Well lots to do.

My son got the first half of the beds done and I`m planting the Thin Mint, SFV, and Triangle Kush today. I`m also working on draining the holding tanks , slowly and will work on the septic when I get back and also have the office trailer brought up. Headed down south on biz and to pick up more clones. I`ll try to get some pics up soon as I can get them all in the ground and catch things up around here(if that`s even possible).

Hey Mark. Just a heads up. The plants that were in the beer cups labeled "Trin" are Trinity OG not Triangle Kush.

Glad to hear things are moving forward!

Didn't get home, service engine light on and running hot. Thermostat ? I'm going to LA anyway , just going to drive down at night stay in a motel and drive back at night. Better for plants that way.
