Yeah its a family thing. My parents and my sister live in the same land right next to each other. We all help out and slowly build things up. We only started doing vegetables a couple of year ago. We usually just planted baby trees that weren’t hard to take care of. But ever since the economy started going to shit we decided that we need to start learning the basics for the outside crops in case of a emergency. We all work alot but fortunately we all get out earlier during the day and we have some time to be outside the whole fam and kids and dogs. That’s small country life. My corn was planted on regular sandy yard dirt. Its having trouble with the nutrient intake. If it doesn’t improve with a higher dose of nutrients im going to call it quits and restart on some better dirt.
Sup brother where you been man
Thanks mark…good to see you man. Ima check those baggies out for sure. My press only goes to 4 tons. But sometimes i still get blowouts. Thank homie.
Do those ph meters have to get sent out to get calibrated every once in a while like some light meters?
The winner of the sour diesel pheno hunt. Im going to calle it sour mango. Because truly, thats the exact smell and omg she is stank. Very happy to have her in my collection.
Man im dying inside lol. Must grow something lol.
Ah, my brother, I’ve had foresight and prudence in acquiring a puppy from the noble Bedlington Whippet Saluki breed, a fleet and fearless hunting companion, and ferrets, the nimble and wily hunters of rodents, is truly admirable. In times of economic collapse, when provisions cannot be readily obtained from commercial channels, these capable creatures will provide me with sustenance and security for the future.
Alas, the past two waxing days it has seems my puppy Martina has been presenting a vexing demeanor as of late. This is to be expected, as all young animals require diligent discipline and training to develop into well-mannered and obedient companions. However, it is important that i refrain from harsh treatment or punishment, as this may exacerbate any behavioral issues in the future.
As for the state of our economy, it is a multifaceted issue that cannot be distilled into a single cause. The banking and financial sectors have allowed greed and excess to eclipse their moral responsibilities, leading to risky investments and predatory lending practices. The global market has become heavily reliant on the US dollar, which has led to instability and inequality. Additionally, environmental degradation and resource depletion have threatened our ability to sustain ourselves and our economy.
The push of the digital dollar, the millionaire, coughs; billionaire tards bought up all the land and hanged their success in forms of air-bags in the cows arses.
Nevertheless, your family’s collective efforts to cultivate a sustainable lifestyle are inspiring. The pursuit of self-sufficiency and communal cooperation are crucial steps towards resilience in times of hardship.
Ah just nothing interesting to report really. Didn’t have a grow going on anymore, just started some beans again for outdoor tho.
And my bullshit filter got saturated. I have a very good one but the downside is that I can’t deal with a lot of crap. Like the new grower on here that all of a sudden act like he knows it all. Love the family here. But individuals can really kill the vibe for me.
Hey there! I just wanted to say that I completely understand where you’re coming from. It’s never easy to deal with negativity or bullsh*t, especially when it’s coming from someone who’s just trying to show off or act as if they’re better than everyone else. But you’re absolutely right - attacking someone will only lead to being attacked back, and that’s not what we want. We should always approach others with love and understanding, even if we don’t know them very well. It’s okay to feel bad about judging someone too quickly or not understanding them - we’re all human, after all! And first impressions are definitely important. If someone comes into a forum “guns blazing”, it reflects poorly on them as a person. It’s always better to take a deep breath, relax, and approach others with kindness and respect. I hope you’re feeling better now, and that your new beans for outdoor turn out well! Take care. 
@MrMonkey420 how ya been man? Missed ya on here. Good to see you again either way my friend. Have a good one and stay safe.
Thanks homie. I’ll never be entirely gone I’m sure. Sometimes i just go dark for a bit 
Dude, I share your pain regarding not growing. Life gets real boring real fast without it!
Yeah sux im in a really bad state for it. And ive been doing it for decades. People say i have big balls for where i live. But after so many years it sure doesnt feel ballsy lol. But the fear of doing prison time feeling never goes away!
Good that you recognised I was referring to you! 
I would be also. We are in clear waters my friend. The gods are shinning upon us. Start living again, for Valhalla. 
Damnn @TechDCo you should write a book brother. You have a good vocabulary and good thoughts as well. But thank you for the kind words. Indeed these are crazy times. I hope things get better and that human kind chances for the better. But with all this corruption going on and this failing economy its hard to be optimistic about whats too come. Of course we hope for the best but we definitely prepare for the worst. We know what we have isn’t enough to feed us. But leaving in north west Georgia we have plenty of wild life to live on if we add some extra food its totally liveable. Until then… We’ll be working on the garden and learning how to grow new things and collect plenty of seeds.
Garden looks dope brother! Want to see more of it!
Thank you so much for your kind and supportive words! Its about all of us coming together but that ship had left the dock. You’re right, in this day and age, people’s attention spans are the shortest they’ve ever been. If I were to write a book, it would end up being a 1 minute 30 second synopsis on a YouTube short, and even then, people might lose interest halfway through.
It’s a shame that peoples attention spans have become so limited, but it’s the reality we live in. Despite this, I still find creative writing to be a fun and fulfilling activity, and I think it’s important to cultivate creativity in any way possible. It has nothing to do with me when I write. Why do the bees dance? Why does the Butterfly pretend its got eyes?
I share your concern about the state of the world. It’s tough to stay positive with so much corruption and economic turmoil. But like you said, we can prepare for the worst while hoping for the best.
And it’s wonderful to hear that you’re taking steps towards self-sufficiency with your garden and wild game. The Short Video of tour vegetable garden looks Cool as a cucumber.
If nothing falls, stocking up wouldn’t do any harm.
Why did the tomato turn red? Because it saw the salad dressing! Don’t tell that joke to your tomatoes they wont understand because they haven’t been indoctrinated with lettuces yet.
Thanks brother and stay safe and healthy out there!
We can discuss our mistakes in great detail and have a debate about it if you’d like?
We can delve into the errors we’ve made and have a thorough discussion.
Yeah we could… we could…
We could also stop pretending to be something you’re not, like the experienced grower, while you only have like 2 grows under your belt, answering fellow rookie grower’s questions with answers plucked of the internet & rewritten into essays because you have all the time of the world to do so, being unemployed. It appears to me that you’re craving for attention. Sincerely hope you’ll find peace of mind someday brother.
Have a good day.
Your being judgmental and accusing and throwing accusations towards me. It was not my intention to hurt your feelings or damage your ego in any way. You attacked me first. Who are you to judge me? You don’t even know me.
I’m simply sharing what I’ve have learned through my experiences and research. It is important to see that we all have different levels of experience when it comes to growing, and we can all learn from each other. Putting myself into life is what its all about.
I have a mental condition and unemployment is a down factor of this and relying on the government is my savour to live a normal life. I haven’t worked the past 8yrs because of this. I don’t agree with everything the government does but its the times we are living in and It’s essential for me to take care of myself and keep routines and prioritize my mental health.
Why do you feel the need to keep attacking me?
