H2Ou

Oh. I understood that if I adjusted light time, heat, humidity and air flow, I could grow in any weather or season, indoors. Am I wrong ?

Thanks very much, PsyClown. That's very decent of you. I'm thinking of setting up a small DIY tent and will just wing it with some LED bulbs I've got in the garage. Can't do any harm, can it ?

Hello everyone. Apologies for having gone AWOL. I resigned my job in the middle of lockdown last year (my good mate was my boss and my sales were non-existent) and started my own fuel quality business. I've been head down, bum up ever since. Due to the distraction of having to pay rent, buy food and clothe Mrs. H2Ou and myself, I gave up trying to grow my own puff and resorted to supporting a young local fella, who has provided me with some reasonable smoke in the interim. As is my custom, I like to make a little number each evening and whenever I found pips in my bud, I just chucked them into the micro garden bed outside the garage back door. Imagine my surprise when one day, whilst pulling out a huge tangle of cherry tomato vines, I found a full 10 litre flower pot with two seedlings about 6" tall, growing together. I sent a pic to a learned friend upcountry and he suggested I should apply some intensive TLC and see what happens. Lots of lugging the pot from one side of the garden to the other, gradual soil improvement, adjusting water PH, homemade compost, banana tea, Seagro, some fertiliser and a bunch of luck.....well I cut the girls this morning at 06h30. Very little in the way of buds, but the two colas look yummy. (I did buy a loupe).

Ah....hi everyone. Got a little distracted. Had multiple disasters with my various plants. They all died, except for two. One was male. Wow ! I had no idea what pollen production would be. lol. With great sadness, for some reason that died too. Leaving me with one plant which sprouted in early autumn. Tomorrow is the winter solstice. Should I harvest yet ? Got one serious bud. And a bunch of littluns.

Thanks @PsyCLown That was very interesting and I learned a lot. Well done !

Right...Thanks for that @PsyCLown. I will be getting me some pots today, then. With regards to re-potting, I had thought of the careful use of a box-cutter/Stanley knife. The cotyledons have done their job and there is now revealed the very first signs of serrated leaves.

This morning, she has her first leaves.

Transferred the one sprout to a re-purposed spring water bottle yesterday.

Still only one bean that has sprouted of the five. It's been cool, hereabouts. Waiting....

To the subject of structured water. We pay respects to Viktor Schauberger, Dr. Masaru Emoto and most recently, for having brought structured water to the attention of many folks in our world today, clif high of Half Past Human and Jerry Durand of Durand Interstellar. Official advisory. I'm a friend of Jerry's and sell his product's both here in SA and in Oz. clif is an aquaintance and uses some of my products, as well as Jerry's. However, in the spirit of fourtwentydness, I'll show you how to make your own structured water device. For a couple of Rand. We are large, wobbly bags of jelly, comprising some 70% water. If we put dead water into our bodies, our bodies will react accordingly. They will die. We need to enliven our water and this is where the field of structured water comes into play. Many of us live in cities and our water, after having been forced through miles of straight pipes, arrives at the spigot depleted of any energy. If you are wealthy enough, you might drink spring water. But so often, this is packaged for long periods of time in plastic bottles, which is not good for us. In an effort to revitalise my water, I structure every glass I drink. I only drink rain water or spring water. I'm eyeing out the lovely river some 1km away, which runs out of the unpopulated mountains behind us. TBC

No, @stretchy, some very positive stuff. Good for humans... But, before we go to the subject of structured water, some of my favourite music. A track from the classic movie "Easy Rider". The Band, with The Weight... Peter Fonda, Dennis Hopper and Jack Nicholson, smokin' some gooood stuff....

If I may ? Don't know if this is correct etiquette hereabouts ?

Ah, @PsyCLown, please allow me to take the entire forum down the rabbit hole of structured water.... If you would be so kind ?

Hi All. An update today. We've had cooler weather this week and even though @Bospatrollie2 had said that they might take more than 2 or 3 days when it ain't hot, I was starting to get a little concerned last evening as there didn't seem to be anything happening. I just went out to the garage with a rollie and a cup of coffee and.....we have a sprout ! Woohoo ! There's another showing a bit of white on the one end, so I think we should have another sprout today. Sorry about the kak pic. I carefully placed my phone in a puddle of diesel earlier this year and sort of melted my camera lens. So I only have the "selfie" lens to work with until I get my new phone in the next few weeks. (Boss man tells me it will be one of those new-fangled eyefone things, so it should take semi-decent photos.) BTW. I forgot to mention that I intend using structured water to irrigate my plants. I'll be interested to see if there's any obvious benefit, bearing in mind that I know nought.
