hey I once rooted a pencil and grew a pine tree. Learned that trick from a guy I met back during the civil war by the name of stinkbud

I haven't tried everything yet. So far, I like RDWC and Tupur Royal Gold but that's based on very limited personal experience with the available options.

this is the message I am hearing over and over and over, again and again throughout this thread, mods be damned.
fuck em and feed em fishheads if they are really that stupid. Ignorance is forgivable because it is correctable, stupid is just sinful and close mindedness is the only unforgivable sin.

my new favorite saying and I think it applies here
"There is a cult of ignorance in the United States, and there always has been. The strain of anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that "my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge."
- Isaac Asimov

As a child, I hungrily devoured everything of his I could find. The only reason I haven't read the Foundation series is because I wanted to start at the beginning and read all the way through it and I haven't gotten the chance. Yet!
Science isn't Democratic in the sense that we can vote on the laws of physics and the natural world, to the chagrin of those who would much rather just wish away such bothersome realities as anthropomorphic global warming.
On the other hand, knowledge itself IS Democratic; anyone can learn how the world works if they put some effort into their investigation.
We've seen the resurgence of willful ignorance as a 'legitimate' worldview and political position, legitimized of course by those who are only too happy to take advantage of the naiveté of the hoodwinked.
Ignorance is easy; it doesn't require effort or thought. Learning is hard and it doesn't come easily to most. Therefore the idea that someone who tells you how things are and what to think about them is seductive.
Critical thinking skills just might be the most valuable part of my education. Such skills are the only thing that stands between us and the chaos of social collapse. As such they need to be a centerpiece of everyone's education, starting with schoolchildren and reaching forward throughout our whole lives.

A tough decision for most I am sure. I would have to choose "mushroom compost" because throughout my life it has proven to be a robust soil or soil amendment for growing anything. I introduced it into my third grow and the yield more than doubled.

Very interesting choice..
I have been giving this some deep medicated thought and tbh if I was gonna be stranded on an island I don’t think I’d bother bringing a medium.
Most likely anywhere would provide enough natural materials to concoct a working medium.
Maybe I’d bring a jar of honey and a roll of duct tape instead
And lots of papers

No doubt. That is why I would choose mushroom compost, to supplement the existing soil which may be primarily just common sand. Hollowed plant stalk would work in place of papers.

@torontoke did you pull any of the outdoor yet? We got some wet snow this morning up here, nothing stayed though, another cold night tonight, down to 2C. Looking good from tomorrow for a week though.

No sir
None was even close enough to take early.
It’s been a few weeks so hoping that maybe this weekend some of it will be ready.
It’s getting to the something early is better then nothing stage. I’m not really counting on any of it tbh.
Will be more of a bonus

I'd imagine they'd be closer now, some cool nights should tighten them up. Even if it's just hash material, a little fall bonus never hurt

Forgot to update that the field trip is currently hanging. Sample nug was much much better then I expected and the gf even wants more of it now.
We shall see how it compares to the next cowbell and decide which cookie cross I keep.
The lucky charms male has bust in my tent so lc f3’s are for sure happening. And if the wino lc in my cab will reveg I’ll try for wino f3’s
Going up north to see and hang my outdoor hopefully it’s worth drying out.

@torontoke hope all is well, had to revisit the arduino programming to add a far red fixture to mimic sunrise/sunset and in the course figured out how to control the day length. Will be building prototype for testing, if it works it only required modifying one line of code on my existing program, essentially if you want a 20 hour day a time speed factor of 24/20 or 1.2 is used, for a 16 hour day 24/16 or 1.5, could even go to a longer day 24/30 or 0.8 for a 30 hour day.

Well folks
I think it’s time for me to move on and turn over a new leaf.
Hopefully this journal has entertained and provided a different perspective then the normal grow log.
It’s been a fun ride and I’m glad that I shared the experience with everyone, even tho I never hit my goal. I shall continue to chip away at it but in the meantime....
May all your harvests be plentiful and dank!
