just got home from our day chasing the eclipse. 100% totality for over 3 minutes. never seen anything like it and there really aren't any words to describe what it *felt* like to witness it. just beyond cool, i guess. it was surprisingly emotional for both of us. we went to a friend's house, and they were away at a different spot in town at a party. but i wanted to be alone, or at least NOT at an event or party. i got my wish. we laid a blanket out on the grass, not a cloud in sight from 12:30pm on. eclipse started at 1:45ish and the totality was at 3:07pm. we took off our glasses and just both looked at each other in complete amazement. honestly, before today i was "meh" about eclipses. i saw the 2017 one at like 93% totality and it was neat. but THIS was just other worldly. i guess i'm an eclipse nerd now.
also the tent plants are getting culled tomorrow. i just can't look at the sad ones any longer. gonna restart the chernobyl and the bubblegum, this time i'm gonna use promix with maxigrow and maxibloom. i'm going to reuse the BaS mix in the outdoor beds so it won't go to waste. it just wasn't a good/smart idea to switch up the soils on those plants like i did. oh well. lesson learned.
