Thank you, that's so kind I have really started ignoring it after I got the double dose of rescue ravens. The fact they are doing so well is lucky weather and a light they love! My outside garden has to be sprayed with BT (caterpillars) but I love butterflies and moths and they don't seem to be eating all that much :roll: my neighbors must hate me :eyesmoke:

So weird, looks like it's only foxtails. It will interesting to see how it finishes.

It will finish exactly like that but months from now LOL sativas are so damn slow but worth it. If she's good I'm espaliering her along my back wall and just harvesting as I want a bit. I had a friend that kept some brick weed seeds alive in his parent's back garden for 3 years. The cold finally got it but Huntington Beach rarely got that cold so it had a good run.

This is Leucy Liu after her dressing change. If you look at her right wing (bandaged wing) you can see where one of the K wires used as an intramedullary nail was removed. Sadly the bone shattered by the bullet did not fully heal and her wing collapsed. My vet was gutted as on xray and with movement it appeared to have healed so nicely but ravens have fairly primitive blood supplies to their wings so no.

He wanted to euthanize her but she's been coming to me since she was a youngster so he sent her home with me to see how she felt about remaining in captivity for the remainder of her life, which could be 25-35 more years.

As you can see she's ok with it. Today's menu was In n Out Cheeseburger (no fries she had those yesterday with her Salmon). So now we wait for her to gain some strength and my vet to return from vacation. I'm just hoping she doesn't go septic between now and then. I guess we get to see if I'm as good with sterile technique as I once was. So dressing changes twice a day with physical therapy to keep her shoulder and elbow functional so she can retain as much wing as possible.

My grow continues but I'm paying scant attention to it as she and the baby in the outdoor aviary are my focus.

However my plants are doing what plants do even without my attention:

Sorry for the rotten picture but I didn't get up there to water until after lights out. Turns out they don't need me!! I'm crushed. But I've been a shitty parent I can't even tell you who that is.

I haven't done a journal in awhile and nothing in my grow has changed, until recently. I've decided this might be a hobby I'm sticking with. Yes, I'm commitment phobic. I also dislike change but here we go. I figure I can whine here while putting on a brave face as I demolish my upper story.

The new Scorpion Diablo X is in place on my current flower table. The plants love that thing. Here's the new crew with the old crew who are going to start getting death dealt to them this week.

Those were vegged under my HLG Veg Pro 250, apparently they loved that too! As did my seed starts for this year

@BobBitchen 's Chicken Dinner and she is a winner. I have a couple clones of her and I am looking forward to popping the rest of the pack. She reeks of gasoline and kerosene my husband came upstairs to ask what I was up to she was so strong.

Don't blame her for the Ca def that was me just not adding it because I was so close! I was shocked to see she missed it obvious and fast. :roll:

Here she is all trimmed up. I deliberately keep my plants small since I already have way too much pot but if I'd vegged her or trained her much she'd have been large. In person there's a lovely pink/purple hue to her.

Leucy home from her amputation. She's confused but overall ok with all this. Nevertheless she gobbled an entire chicken thigh! In about 3 weeks I'll removed her sutures and move her to a large aviary cage where she can watch her husband and children. Eventually I'm going to build a lexan surround so the ravens can fly into the aviary to visit her but she can't climb out. But that will likely be next spring. I'll also put a large nest box into it for her and her hubby. She's quite prolific and her two young adults miss her and stay close to dad.
