It's been a rough stretch for sure. I am at complete ground zero. I was/am in a pretty bad funk. I decided to go ahead and get legal in a few weeks so I will be hitting the restart then. Great to see you all. I hope things are great for all of you. I have missed you all. Potheads. :bigjoint:
Aw nuts that's not cool to hear. Seems we all now had a rough patch of late or are going through one. Going legal, well that is going to be awesome bro! All the best with the new adventure! Going to be epic going at it with absolutely no stress. I can't even imagine that myself. If I could go legal, I would also go BALLISTIC lol...

You are God indoors. Outside is rough...sorry Ham. Here's an example, ala hyroot, on 'spooning the girls to sleep'. Get some extra lights on time with good nights rest. Also some random 12/12 from seed pics.

Some night time pics. I really think this disrupts things, and don't recommend it.

Nice Bro! You really should keep sharing, nice to see the grow behind the banter if you catch my drift. Got a trademark look to it all, bet I'll be able to tell one of your plants a mile off soon enough.

That sucks Hamish. At least you can start over. Didn't they suffer root damage?
Yeah some of the Gage testers had an insane time as babies. 5 weeks of rain, but I saved them by transplanting into a 50 percent perlite mix. They are doing really well. Most of what I lost were my early season plants, the 3 kilo bushes. I could not leave them where they were, sigh. Thing with rippers is, if they find a patch, they keep looking till they find the rest. Was not gonna risk it with people walking up and down my land.

I do have some potted plants and a little outdoor patch ;) Some Bubba, Afghan Haze x PCK, DB, Lemon Thai x Freedom Baby, etc...

Any advice for finding out the woman you married is evil and tells you to take a hike? Talk about shock. I am still crying in my milk. Pure evilness. Lowers my faith in mankind. :cuss:

It's complete insanity. I am no boy scout but good grief. My lawyer is on it. Sucks all the way around. Thanks for the kind words guys. I let my whole grow show go to shit over this. Time to start the comeback.

I'll say this .... You're gonna hurt over this for a while. Your emotions will run the full spectrum. You'll be sad, angry, depressed, etc. Nothing you can do but keep plugging away. Only time will heal this for you. I'm a firm believer in yin-yang. We have to have some negative in our lives in order for us to have the capacity to really appreciate the good. What you're going through really sucks. I feel so bad for you. Don't lose the lesson in this though. If you come out of this learning something about yourself, and becoming a better person for it then it wasn't all for not.

You'll look back on this some day and understand that whatever the outcome, it was for the best. In the mean time get your nose back in to the garden. There is something therapeutic about working with this plant. Immerse yourself in it

Gand,
I feel your pain and can relate. I bought my wife an upgrade wedding ring for Xmas (10 year anni soon), and she told me to take it back. Just now getting back on track...again. It's possible brother.

Do not even get me started on the topic.

I am old enough to have seen that Men have gotten the shaft
over the last three generations.

It is as if Women were slaves before 1960. No, many of them
"wore the pants in the house" even back then.

We have zero rights. It is good that you got a lawyer.

Ah well, even this rant will get push back. "Take it" ain't enough for
society, they want us to like it too.

Thanks guys. I am going to get things cleaned up and hit it again. It sounds crazy but I can't even get myself to smoke. I get a little weird these days when I spark up. It's a shame. So much insane weed to smoke. I'll figure things out as I go I guess. 26 years is a long time to flush down the toilet. I will be whining for a little while. Please forgive me ahead of time guys. It's so great to see you all. What's the latest on the strain game? What's hot these days. I feel like I have been gone for awhile.

Fuck yeah st0w. I love it man. I am at the point that I can begin to care for something other than me again. And the topics just keep getting weirder.:lol:

We've been little bean addicts lately with the GG and Bodhi. I'm growing out the Cornerstone you recommended and much much more. Ham's so jealous.

Wish you lived closer so I could drag your ass out for a couple brews. Maybe Rrog and I should hop on the scooter and make a little Maine road trip....

I managed to save 2 OB Ripper phenos, 2 LA Haze phenos, 2 Sun Maiden phenos, and my favorite Daybreaker pheno. I am going to clone them and run them awhile. The LA Haze is so insane. It has replaced Kali Mist as the sat of choice for me. The combo of the (LA Conf x Kali Mist) x Gage's Afghani is just sick. I can't wait to get my head right to smoke again.

I wish you a speedy recovery Gand, but like said previously time is the only fix for these periods in life at least as far as my own personal experience has shown... Its a shame you cant benefit first hand from your own smoke right now, you deserve that dankness.

So much here that is relevant to my year past. This might get drawn out so I apologise beforehand.

I am happy you kept some killer phenos! But your Sats are not going to serve you for a while. You are permanently high right now. Adrenaline, endorphine, etc etc. So let me guess: You toke and oddly your heart rate climbs. Instead of comfort it feels like your head is falling apart. Like your brain is spinning it's wheels, revving the engine but not going anywhere. Breathing might become irregular, slight sweats. Nervous energy, like you've been locked inside one room for a week, every muscle slightly uncomfortable. But the worst part is you think LESS straight. Instead of slowly working through a thought like usual, it is impossible to hold onto one and it feels like a regression. I know that feeling.

Only way you are going to smoke a Sat right now is if you follow it with a HARD work-out. Hit the joint, then hit the circuit. Sats are going to revv you up hardcore.

A little bit yeah. But I'm the mofo sitting on the pre-release packs of both Bodhi and Gage :P

Fuck yeah st0w. I love it man. I am at the point that I can begin to care for something other than me again. And the topics just keep getting weirder.:lol:

Oh hell been there and got a spare T-Shirt because of my extended stay. A human being is only capable of processing x ammount. That is why these crazy genius people are usually loners, they do not have the emotional capacity for a relationship, all the processing power is going towards intellect. You are going through an emotionally testing time, your waking mind is going to have a lot less room right now. Shit will get neglected, it is par for the course. The point you start to worry is if you neglect your own health. This is the big danger sign to watch out for. Everything else, par for the course.

26 years flushed down the toilet as you say, that is a hardcore one. You got your kids out of it though. And if you are anything like me and you could travel back in time, you would do it all the same again because of your children. THEY have no fight with you man. They will be there till you are old and need to go snowboarding in a wheelchair. Hell they'll be steering the thing and givin' you a push to get you going.

Far as your kids are concerned, all you need is patience and they will come to you. Even if legal barriers get thrown up (oh chicks love that one) the kids won't give a shit. They are right at the age of rebellion too, your ex is in for a few surprises of the unpleasant order. You just don't give a teenager an excuse to hate you. She's gonna have it tough mate.

Anyhow, I'll get to my story in a bit...

Exactly the reasons I do not fit in in 'society'. Take your place and LIKE it! Play the role and play it with passion! Screw that. Not like it is easy living outside of mainstream society but at least I am doing what I do because I WANT to. Not getting rich taking this approach, but I look 8 years younger than I am thanks to it.

Chicks are HARDCORE. They are no friggin angels I can tell you that. But it is how we raise our daughters man. We make our boys work for everything but we pave our daughters' roads in gold bricks. We give it to 'em easy from day one and protect rights that for boys go right out the window on merit of them being boys. That is my theory anyhow.

Shitty deal Gand. Sorry to hear that.
Whoa, err, nice new avatar?

Gand,
I feel your pain and can relate. I bought my wife an upgrade wedding ring for Xmas (10 year anni soon), and she told me to take it back. Just now getting back on track...again. It's possible brother.
Same here. Ten years in March. Took us nine of those to see eye to eye. I am still exhausted Red. Takes it out of you. Particularly the dreams eh?... You get away from it in the day then WHAMMO right as you get some friggin rest. What can you do LOL

OK so I am going to come out with it. Gandalf, you are right, this shit is NOT for sissies. OK so when you guys met me, I threw up like 2000 posts in 6 or 7 weeks. Me and the wife were taking bit of a break for that time. Gods alone know you guys and the herb pulled me through eh.
I mean shit got ridiculous. At points I was threatened with the grow being smashed up. It was in a spare room of the house, so after getting back and just before leaving, reasons were found that stuff HAD to be stored in there and taken out... DURING DARK HOURS. No waiting till the lamps click on. You fellas remember my Tahoe herms? That is how BOTH of them happened. I just didn't want to go sour everybody's day by bitchin, all I was looking for was a ray of light here and there.
That totalled a loss of 5 months work, 12 fat Tahoe girls (total) and 33 Bubbas lost to either male flowers or pollination. And she's the one needing medicine not me. She had a bad time while we had no smoke. I was handling just fine by simply not sleeping at all. Exhaustion is a lovely psychedelic if treated right. Just avoid eating carbs and eat a LOT to make up for it and you will be fine.
So to give you some perspective, it has been four months or so that it has been perfect over here. It took ten years to reach this point. But, four months later, I am still in recovery. Still got shitty dreams. Can't handle my own reefer most of the time (the oil is different, very relaxing and nice).
With the DB I had to train my brain out of paranoia. I stuck to it, I HATE living without reefer as an ally. It took 4 weeks to tame the 'panic' and 'paranoia' down to where it is a good old creative Sat feeling. So now that I have re-wired my brain, I am in for another 8 weeks of purposefully not toking. Once neural pathways are re-wired, it is done. I now know I can look forward to enjoying the next crop the way I intend to.
But it was work getting there Gandalf. Time alone didn't do shit. Every day is mental effort. Meditating on how things should be and making small steps to get there. Don't wait. Work.

Only thing you can do right now, and should be doing, is thinking about yourself really. Thing is, you are going to be needed by your kids, clients, etc. Only ONE person on this planet decided that you are of lesser value to them. To be there for the rest, you need to be in one piece. And people will have to understand that. Right now you have to look out for yourself first because you have no choice about looking out for the others.

Thinking about yourself now is not selfish. It is essential.

Thinking of you bud! We all know this is not the kinda thing that just blows over, but every time you need a distraction we'll be here.
