Day 78

Started with 9 pots my first grow and way to many plants in each pot. Learned why it’s so important to do a lot of things. Growing these fussy little pre Madonna’s is no easy task. This October November we are making a couple outdoor pots. See how they do. Live east of Seattle.

Anyone wants to sound in on why the seed pods on this one plant are coming out deformed let us know. Does that just happen? I’ll make sure and not collect seeds from that one.

Last question the first plant that flowered. Has 2 seed pods on it. Pedals are gone. 2 weeks since the pedals fell off. Good time to harvest? The little openings in the seed pods have not opened yet.

Day 66 second little flower

This one plant out of 19 going on 12 now maybe 10. The saga continues. For those of you not following the drama grow. My first shot at these very picky flowers. Was going fantastic until I over fed them. Burnt their little feet. Had to flush them and now well. I’ve got some serious limp leaves going on. Probably root rot. Not sure. All that said and this one plant said F it. Shot up at day 58 or so. And flowered at 62 or 63. Way way early. And very small

DONT OVER FEED YOUR POPPIES!!!

Day 62 (still recovering) and a surprise

Still recovering from my over fertilizer event. I flushed them all really well. Now just trying to nurse them along. Back to full strength. Woke up to this little guy throwing up pink pedals. My first flower. Albeit shocked into existence. Hoping the rest of the plants hold out and grow more before flowering. Hope everyone’s season continues to be beautiful.

Little grey spots

Little grey spots

They seem to be only on the newest growth. All that I’ve found have been on the center growth. Found it on 3 or 4 of my 18 plants. The ones in the pictures are the plant that has the most. I see no bugs at all. These are being grown in a tent.

Anyone has any guess, I would appreciate any feedback.

I’ve also included some over fertilized pictures of my plants.

Day 60

A couple things have developed in my little neighborhood of Sumniferum.

Good news. This little guy decided to go into flower mode suddenly. He’s awfully small to be acting all grown up up like he is. My wife counts 3 seedpods already.

The second development and or the bad news. I over fed them fertilizer. 6-4-4. I used the heavy feeding and fed them twice this way in a 8 day period.

They didn’t show any signs of overfeeding or root burn for the first 7 days. On the 8th day I noticed a little bit of yellowing. Then I fed them again. By the morning of day 9 I had 4 very sick plants. 3 shutting down. 2 that seemed to doing ok.

I immediately flushed them all with luke warm tap water. Two rounds and they are all drying now. My first grow of these little picky fellows. Hopefully they pull through.

My guess is the overfeeding and flushing them out will set back the grow a solid two weeks. 🙁

Day 51 - 1st grow - 18 plants

I figure I can sell bags of seeds for $10 for 200 seeds. I want to sell them already winterized. Let me know how that sounds as far as price and amounts I might get. Thank you everybody. These rooms have been a big help!

“Seeds of Hope”

I’ve read the chronicle pain posts for about a year now. Found it when I was going bilateral hip vascular necrosis. Went from healthy no pain to can’t walk in excruciating pain in 12 months. Both femurs just collapsed into themselves. All the nerves in my legs got squished. Lower back L4 L5 discs herniated. Pinched nerves bulging discs. While I was arguing with my insurance for 18 months and being looked at a drug seeking addict. I decided to end my life. I started making plans. Situating money. Getting all my affairs in order. I ended up going to bars in my new wheelchair and asking around about opiates. Unfortunately I look like a cop. Or so they said. Needless to say every now and then I would find a little relief. But it turns out dealers can’t always be trusted and sometimes their product is inconsistent and even fake! What! Yes. I was flabbergasted. I say that with a smile today. I got through my two surgeries before I put a bullet through my temple. And now I can walk again. I was left with damaged nerves in my feet and now I have severe neuropathy that is getting worse. Glad I kept the wheelchair.

I went to pain clinics and doctors to no avail. I missed the opiod epidemic. Lack of sleep exhausted from the pain every day. I began to spiral again. I refused to live the next 30 years of my life like this or worse. I know what I need. Kill me or not. I’m going to save myself. Because no one is going to knock on your door and save you. Friends and family are tired of hearing about my pain. They don’t want to carry it. When they ask if you are feeling better they hope you are so they can feel better.

One morning I said “self, today is the day I find a way” I started to read. And study chemistry. And today I have hope. I can’t speak for anyone else. But I have found a path to peace. It’s not simple and it takes patience. It’s not a pill. It’s not yoga or physical therapy. And I would never tell someone to do what I have done. But this is my life. My peace. My happiness.

Just remember, don’t let the roadblocks of others opinions or their rules apply to your life. We wake up inside our mind and bodies every day. What I do for me is what matters.

Good luck to you all
