those are 3gal fabric pots not entirely sure on the diameter but i am pretty sure the diameter on the trays are 12in on bottoms of course. you can easily see how wide they have gotten already exceeding the 12inches with no heads present still. almost a month old so i think they will start budding soon. i think i honestly need to fuck with the giant varieties. after these imma grow another type of flower i think. this growing shit got me hooked like a crack addict

haha they sunflowers. dwarf variety called "little becka" by burpee. pretty sure they got a different name but they are supposed to be bi colored sunflowers. think red and yellow but i've been reading some people grow bi colored sunflowers and they don't show the second colors so they just look like regular sunflowers. took a break from growing weed have a surplus

Only two more gallons of culls, less than I thought. Next time I climb up on the ladder in the peach I will get some reward for my effort.

fr.. lmfao gonna start breeding these things make my own strain. i think the hawaiian flower is hibiscus got um growing everywhere like weeds but the overall plants are ugly imo the flowers are nice but i don't care for how they grow. we got a bunch of plumeria's as well at our house but the tree's are ugly as well and the ones we got and super small they are all potted thats why so they never really bloom.

My Avatar is a Hibiscus we keep in a pot and bring in during the winter, too cold here for it. They grow wild on Guam also, the red ones.

lol damn i didn't notice that until now lmfao yea it is that one looks nice though unless you edited the pic. the ones i mostly see here are single colored only typically red, yellow, and orange. the flowers are nice imo i just hate how the plants grow bushes. we have some outside of our house which acts as a border. runs majority of our houses length i'd guess about 50-60 feet. they rarely bloom though because my grandpa always trims them.

i dont think ours blooms because my grandpa really doesn't fertilize this plants he just plants them in the ground, water and thats it. doesn't amend the soil or anything. our soil is really bad quality though. im trying to get my compost going to help work on that again used to compost and spread my compost around the garden every month with 3 bins going.

you just smoke them fully or pre boiled um? we usually boil our ribs before smoking pretty tender at the end but i think flavor is lost by boiling it

I smoke them fully at a low temp. 225 F is what I do.. Never boil meat prior to smoking. You take away flavor and the fat that you want to keep the meat moist while smoking. I've boiled things like chicken thighs before barbecuing because they can get dry on the outside before the inside is thoroughly done but I use a broth with garlic and other seasonings to do it in so I'm adding flavor not taking it away.

I use the 3 - 2 -1 method. Smoke for three hours at 225 F, wrap in foil for two, then out of the foil for another hour.

I slathered them with mustard and then rubbed them down last night with a variation of Meatheads Memphis dust. I brushed them with honey before they went in the smoker. Then I baste them with barbecue sauce for the last hour out of the foil. I don't get fancy with the sauce. I've found that plain old original Bulls eye taste just fine. I played around with making my own sauce and while it was good maybe a little better it wasn't worth the effort. I get Bull's Eye by the gallon at Smart Food Service for $13. I don't care for all those expensive designer sauces out there. They're like cannabis specific nutes. Overpriced and not necessarily that good. I personally like just a dry rubbed rib with maybe some sauce on the side but everyone else seems to like a sweeter saucy rib so I use honey and sauce in the smoking process. They're still damn good but a savory dry smoked rib is my favorite.

Not going to work today I’m owed money no pay no lay (bricks lol I know what your thinking) and I have to repair some fences, wash my car and few other boring jobs around the home.

I was a Hoddie for two years. Hardest job I've ever done in my entire life. But I'm glad I did it. Made me realize what work really is and made me decide I didn't want to do that kind of work. Enter Microsoft and Cisco. Got my MCSE CCNA and some other certs and haven't looked back. That was 1999. But I have the utmost respect for those doing that kind of hard work to make a living. And at the end of the day I was always proud of myself for the work I did. Many people couldn't do that kind of physically demanding work.

Stubbs is my favorite, I don't like a vinegar or sweet based sauce. My dry rub still has some brown sugar in it. I make that myself and tweak it depending on how hot I want it. Edit, I also spray with a mixture of olive oil and apple cider to keep them moist until I put sauce on them. Chamorro marinated ribs and chicken on the grill is another of our favorites.

Yeah hard work I’ll only give Bricklaying 4-5 years more or my body will got to shit. The money is good though. I get $1.20 a brick and can lay an average of 600 a day I have a business partner who matches my skills and we have an apprentice and labourer. The apprentice covers the labourer and himself so moneys fantastic but getting the money is another story

There is good money in it but it will take a toll on your body. But you have to get the money. I never had a problem with the guy I worked for. He paid in cash every week under the table. This was decades ago and all the guys I worked with have had shoulder or back surgeries and are pretty beat up. I'm still wakeboarding in my fifties.

Yeah I dirt bike ride every two weeks plus being smart and doing stretching and stomach and back exercises help a lot I do it for 20 mins every morning. Back then when you did it exercising was laughed at, at least where I’m from. We call that generation the hunch backs. I’m in good nick but only 35. I’m already at school I’ll be moving into an office job once my house is paid off which I’m hoping is before I’m 40 but I’m going back to school to take a pay cut lol but like you say can’t make money with a torn up body
