We'll find out huh? Hope you have a good one Bobo.

Concrete is curing nicely. Funny thing about concrete... like our bud the curing is the most important process. Same idea, don't dry it out too quickly. Keep it covered from the sun, away from wind, and keep in a medium temperature with quite a bit of humidity. But not too much. Lol.... it's like deja vu. Only I don't get to smoke any of the concrete.
well you probably could smoke concrete but its not recomended. its in the what not to do handbook. lol.

Ah man... I should just do the soil bed thing. Looks easy. :) I planted 5 more seeds. 4 Grape Kush, and 1 more J-1der. Got 20 beans in soil.

I hesitate to bring this up because I don't want you guys to think I'm worried about it. Sometimes I just like to bring stuff up I thought odd. When I did the seeds I used a seedling starter soil, had some perlite in it, some coco. Anyways, I used that with the degradable little tiny pots/ cups. Doesn't really matter the container, more about the soil. I put the seed in the soil, then I'd pat the soil down a teensy tiny bit (technical term). Then I poured water in, it seemed to just pool on the top, and I let it seep slowly down. Seemed to me to just seep into the disposable pot and not really sink into the soil. I did it again with a couple of them and used a toothpick to poke holes in the soil. That let the water sorta drain through, but still didn't seem to soak the soil. Just ran out the bottom.

The ones I did today, I put the soil in the pot, then filled the top with water and stirred it all up for a little bit. It was like mixing concrete... the soil didn't seem to want to get wet. Eventually I got the soil all wet and then I put the 5 seeds in them.

I have all of them in dishes that are covered in plastic wrap to hold in humidity. I'll open them every once in a while to let fresh air in. Hopefully there are many girls.

New pete acts extremely water repellant,,, it will eventually take on water. I like to soak and mix new pete base mixes thoroughly before before planting, you should be fine.

I'm curious to see if the ones done today in the soaked soil will pop up quicker. Fun times ahead.

You know what tomorrow is??? 24 weeks of HHBG. That means she could breath if she for some reason wanted to come early. We're not planning on anything like that though. SHould be another 16 weeks. Man that's a long time. The seeds should be nearing harvest then huh? What a laugh it's gonna be trying to harvest with a 2 week old to take care of.

I bet you guys with kids think us guys without are cute with all our free time and energy. I can't wait to join you all in the land of the tired.

A couple drops of dish soap (non-antibacterial) or yucca extract will make your water wetter (release it's surface tension) and let your dry peat get wet faster. You can also put a pile of pearlite in an overflow tray and fill it below the level of pearlite and let your peat pots wick through the pearlite, it will obtain and maintain saturation this way.

Thats awesome man 24 weeks, that last 16 is gonna blow by I guarantee it. I remember when my daughter was born I had to harvest the week before she was born, and was trimming and all that shit pretty close up to the last minute. On the plus side with you planting seeds now, I'd say they might be done before the baby which would be much less stressful then a harvest during the first couple weeks your little girl is home.

We went into the hospital the night before and they induced my wife, I couldn't sleep at all in the hospital. Ended up going out to the car at like 3 am and burning one in the parking garage. The wife wasn't thrilled (just cus she couldn't) but I had to calm my nerves I was a mess.

Until my accident I've worked my whole life. Started when I was 14 and there has only been about 5 months total over the years that I havn't had a job. With that said I've really been enjoying this time at home with my daughter, and wife. My daughter is at a point where she is learning so much and changing so much its awesome to be home getting to be part of it rather then working 45 hours a week.

I am with colo on the wicking thing. Starter soil is a bitch to get soaked properly, so I fill up a tray now and let the water wick up through the soil is what I found to be best...:)

I've had the best and worst. First wife 2nd baby was 6 hours of labor, 20 min pushing. 2nd wife 1st baby was like 36 hours labor and 3 hours pushing. That one busted the babies collar bone. Good times for all!
