What did you do today?

[Amarok]

High was 2C today, and it rained and snowed all day long. Supposed to warm up again next week but the Thanksgiving weekend is a write-off for outside stuff.

So I ran into town for a few items. Not sure if I'm agoraphobic, misanthropic, or a combination of both, but fuck human beings. They are all a bunch of selfish, inconsiderate, loud assholes.
I wanted to do this to every other person in Costco:

and this to most of the drivers.

Had enough of the "civilized" world for a while.

Made a grocery run & found some huge green grapes today, almost everyone of them is this size. Super crisp bite, sweet, seedless, my favorite.

I kicked my two 8oz red bulls a day habit around the beginning of the year. I really like them but they've gone up in price to a point that I dont wanna buy them anymore, even at bulk price. I enjoy the effects of a good caffeine bump in cold beverage form tho so I started doing some digging into other beverage options.

Today I tried making my own "charged" lemonade like they used to have at Panera (until a few people over did it on the drink not realizing the caffeine content and exploded their hearts). It was a quarter tsp each of guarana powder and green coffee bean extract powder into the 20oz blender cup with two handfuls of frozen strawberries and some simply lemonade. I used too many strawberries so it was thick, more like a fozen strawberry lemonade icee. Split it halves with my brother and the energy kick was great. I went from wanting a nap to feeling pretty good but not jittery or hot, better than redbull even. Drinking the whole 20 oz at once might be a little strong, def gonna have to regulate.

I'm gonna experiment with this more in other forms but my first impression is pretty good. I think i spent about the same amount as a 24 pack of 8oz redbulls on the ingredients & the powders should last at least a few months at only a quarter tsp each per serving.

Stonerberry Bread got the chop! Very sticky/smelly



I also harvested headband/cap junky....sorry no pics but it was a stinker and both of these are hanging in the garage now.
"Hatband" is taking up more than one line, means the count will be decent
Black Tuna monster is next to get the axe

Grew some of the Stonerberry Bread last year, good smoke. Love when they get the lean. Although after watching them grow for months it's a little sad.

I still have 11 standing, 1 big plant, rest aren't nearly as big. I'm wondering how they handled the first freeze last night. It's 28f with 97% humidity right now. I did get a good bunch down yesterday. Hope to get a couple more down today after work. There's a couple that need another week or so. The next week looks dry at least, maybe one more cold night into the 30's.

They will be fine. But 28* is a warning number. If I think it's going to be 28 for 2 complete days, I harvest or cover. It takes 2 days at that temp to freeze your trichs.

The forecasted low was 35 got a bit colder than that. Weird that there wasn't even really frost on the ground. I suspect the ground is still warm enough it wouldn't let the frost hit the ground. Stuff about 7 ft up off the ground had light frost. Top of the truck, roof tops, stuff like that.

Back in the guerilla growing days there were more than a few plants that got froze out. Like you said one night of cold wont ruin them. Some plants handle it better than others though. Had a Suicide Blonde this summer that really got pissy when the temps started to get below 50, surprised me.

Nice work dude, looks awesome. One of my goals for next year is to give more support for the big plants. Lost a couple this summer from the wind. Not too broke up about it cause I still ended up with too much but they deserve some support when they've blown up into trees.

I started with the stakes when I went to the 45 gallon pots 2 years ago and that's it for me. Tremendous support and I can really open up the plant by angling the stakes outward. I was doing stakes and chicken wire on the outside prior., with losses. The pot's are 18" tall and a 8'-10' plant on top was a bit much to cage, lol. I'm in a happy place with the stakes
