So I decided to grow some plants again, indoor of course, I want a Ficus tree and some African Violets, but let’s start with the easy stuff, Marijuana! I have done it in many forms and formulas, this style will be a hybrid grow, I call it Dirt Dro. We shall use an amended soil, with Nutrient fortified watering to produce some killer buds, let’s see what I have to start with.
We start with rockwool cubes cut in half to germinate the seeds, half under the dome, half out, to see what grows sooner, we are only looking for 4 good plants, too many teens is a waste of time, at first.
Clone boxes
This is a new set of equipment, hence a new style of growing, once established, the children will go into porous 8” pots that will sit on a layer of Hydrotin/ Nutrient water, in waterproof pans.
The lighting is 3x 1000w LED fixtures that produce 12000 Lumens each, with veg or bloom settings that actually work, the light rack is simple to operate, up, down, side to side,
Lighting
Easy brackets
Timers and surge protection
2/3 Lights
The tools, yes there are a few you need to get good results, you don’t have to have them, but, fuck it, you need these,
PPm, Ph, Hygrometer
A PPM meter, this measures the total dissolved solids in your water, if you want to run 600 ppm of nutes, you need to account for the TDS in your water,
PH meter, obvious, you want around 6.0 but that’s entirely dependant on your specific grow
Hygrometer, only if you are growing in soil, essential if you do, soil moisture is critical for good growth and keeping root bind to a minimum.
Materials, oh boy, here’s a list of my starter set, this is a basic setup, good for complete cycles, just add nutes and love,
Lights (see above)
10L Hydroton
Awesome for drainage
32L Miracle grow Indoor soil (shhhhh)
8 oz Kool bloom
32 oz Nova Bloom
Plants Crave it!
10 porous pots
5 grow trays
trays
2 clone trays with covers and humidity vents
Clone City
Gallon pails
Ladles
Measuring tools
Patience
I’m doing Seed for the first time, it should be fine, I’ll show much more detail next time, if we are locked down, might as well do something….
Next stop? Well, next stop, Adios Mein Froinds!
For whom the First tolls.
It tolls for pee.
What are the seeds, Yufus?
Cannabis, probably Sativa
?I love you, Alice B. Toklas!

Yes please.
I’d smoke weed with Willie and with Yusef.
Obligatory
For Yusef’s post.
Oh yeah.
And, there’s this.
Muddy Waters is good.
He’s my favorite of the top level bluesmen. Followed closely by B.B. King
John Lee, Howling Wolf, Muddy, Buddy, Lightning, then BB.
And Freddy King?
Robert Johnson?
He’s right after the Alberts.
Hooker, Waters, King, and I were born within miles of each other
as were Sam Cooke, Ike Turner, and Conway Twitty
Everyone is born within miles of each other.
I went and resampled all of the artists, and you’re wrong. It’s Muddy, BB King and then Freddy King, assuming we’re sticking with the group we have now.
I will give you Buddy Guy, though, especially if we’re considering longevity.
Well, its all subjective, after John Lee that is, he’s always number 1, the rest you can rank anyway you want, they swap spots on my list depending on my mood or the weather. There are very few artist whos discography I can listen to on shuffle all day and not get bored. JLH, Tom Waits, The Kinks…maybe Dire Straits/Knopfler.
Hyperbole is right. John Lee is clearly number one, and the rest shuffle in the order.
Hooker n Heat is probably my favorite blues album, based on how many times I’ve listened to it. That album never gets old.
I like John lee Hooker, but not as much. It is totally subjective. Nobody’s right. It all good, though.
The blues is like dirt track racing. It easy to do generally, but it’s really hard to do greatly.
Would be remiss to exclude this one.
And here’s an obscure-ish one
Damn! I musta smoked so much when I was kid, I forgot this one!
Relevant.
I’d much rather burn one with John Prine.
I tried to grow the Devil’s Lettuce from seed a few years ago. Major failure. But then again so were my tomatoes and chilis this summer. I can’t grow shit except a gut, another chin, debt, and facial hair.
Ackshully, the first three of those are getting smaller but I am really good at growing them when I do.
So you’re saying you can control yourself.
Stay. In. Control.

general invitation
didn’t mean to much up your thread
Thanks for the invite. I might take you up on it. But I am terrible at chess. Like, awful. I used to play chess with my wife, but she beat my ass every single game. I’m not a “think five moves ahead” strategist. I’m reactionary, and I will invariably step into any trap that is set. I suck at chess. Not a very stimulating game. Not a worthy opponent.
I used to be OK at it. Now, I gotta have a relaxing day to even try and think that much. After work, I’m a beer drinking zombie until I wake up the next day, at 4 a.m.
Ditto. I hate chess because I completely suck at it. All the chess wizards at school were these dorky weirdoes you didn’t expect, too.
I have a bad ass chess set my dad made. I’ll have to dig it out and put up some pics.
He made the board and the pieces. You could kill a man with the pieces.
I think you guys play chess wrong
Nope. He’s a machinist. They’re solid metal artwork.
Someone hasn’t spent a night in Bangkok.
The queens WE use would not excite them.
Sean, I would be very interested to see the queens your father played with. And the pawns. And the k-nig-ihts.
The chess board got drug out in hunting camp this year. That was the first time it appeared when I was there. I got destroyed by all. I will play you sometime when it is not a school night Don. I am an easy ego boost because I know the rules but dgaf.
I just fuck around: it’s hardly a measure of minds
That’s what they all say. Then, you win three in a row and they want to make it interesting with a c-note. Seen it a hundred times.
I tried clicking in the link, but it got all fucked up. I think we’re “friends” on there now, so I’ll have to give it a shot later.
Kickass app, though. Actually teaches you the strategy.
Damn, I’m much better at backgammon.
Nope. Go fish!
Yahtzee!

8 ball, preferably in a dim bar with loud rock and roll playing. I used to run tables all night. Good times!
I used to play quite a bit of 9 ball. Fun, fast games. Been years though.
And, of course, my namesake. It was the name of my shop because I cleaned up really good every time I went to a casino with my partner.
Hello Yusef,
Different generation, different crop
I have about 15 apple trees started from seed. Several more knowledgeable Glibs plus what I have found on the ‘net have advised that these sorts of experiments most often (never) result in anything other than substandard products. Most important is that I want to see some green growing, even inside, during these short cold days and gives me hope for spring, only 6-7 months away. East facing window, not a lot of sunlight.
I also have a handful more of apple seeds in the refrig, winterizing them into believing that they are outside in a natural world. I’ll start them inside in March or April. I grow all my garden plants but that’s a long ways away too, usually a couple hundred or so plants. I use regular fluorescent lights, they meet the light spectrum requirements .
Your products are likely to be way more valuable than mine but I need to do something. I started cleaning up my bee boxes today. A lot of time consuming work but I like to be ready when the time comes with clean equipment.
I look forward to sitting in the Garden, enjoying the greenery, when General Winter makes his appearance, this isn’t about the money, it’s more about success.
Few years back, the dispensaries around here would give you some cuttings and then buy back the weed that you grew. I guess the law was six plants per ” patient” and a grower could grow for a number of people if he had copies of their cards handy. Many dispensaries didn’t hassle with growing enough to cover demand, so they’d pay people to do it. My buddy had his 6 plants in his yard for a few years doing this.
The coolest story was one of my customers. He was a musician who moved here from way up north. Couldn’t find a stripper girlfriend to support him, so he grew pot to sell. He would cut a bunch of little plants, load them up in his bicycle and cruise the neighborhood, planting them where ever there seemed to be decent gardening going on. Think apartment house landscaping, strip malls, businesses with greenery, etc. Then, he’d wait around two or three months and go around scooping them back up. He said he lost about 3/4 of them, but the remaining quarter was worth it all. Somebody else did all the work.
I hate when that happens.
I love riffing off of stereotypes.
Hey! Don’t knock them!
If Will Smith hadn’t had that stripper girlfriend supporting him, he never could have singlehandedly defeated the aliens that one memorable July 4th.
It’s bullshit that NASA couldn’t see past his stripper girlfriend and understand his potential.
My only social triumph ever was moving in with a drummer and his stripper girlfriend and have the GF kick the drummer out in favor of me.
Wouldn’t happen in this day, too much QC to allow commoners to grow the stuff, even though good weed is pretty easy to grow,
I love Titty Tuesday almost as much as I hate the phrase “piping hot”.

Oof, 6 Million per life saved?
That’s a fail.
Also it’s laughable that the lockdowns only cost $169 billion. it’s an order of magnitude greater, at least. So it’s at least 60 million per life “saved”, probably much more.
We can only hope people see the devastation and assign blame accordingly. I have low hopes, but there’s always a chance.

HEY YUFUS!
I only skimmed the article, since Im headed to work. But Id be disappointed if nobody linked this Muddy Waters classic.
TALL CANS!
Great choice! Is he the best bluesman, or only the third best?
No B!
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=StJ-pq-mVnY
The blues had a baby!
Muddy was asked about the British rock stars playing blues songs and he said, ” Those guys want to play the blues so bad, and they play the blues…so bad!”
And then he toured with Clapton.
Never take a bluesman too seriously.
lt was the best of days I was the worst of days.

At least is wasn’t the blurst of times
How do you get the seeds, though? I haven’t seen seeds since I was in high school. Where do you come across those nowadays?
They are rare, but still get through, so we save them, and experiment. Clones are a bit easier, but very fragile until the roots come in,
If I could just go back to the 90’s I’d be swimming in seeds. Damn you, advanced agriculture
You’re pushing too hard, man.
I still see the occasional seed in every ounce or so I pick up. We set them aside, thinking … maybe, one day, but we never get around to it. I just hate getting seeds in the bowl. The one time we did try growing, we were way too successful based on the smell and decided to quit for discretion.
LG, sorry to hear about your aforementioned (the other day) dysthymia.
I spent the weekend playing with my multi-purpose steam cleaner around the house, forced my kids to get through every single piece of missing schoolwork they still had whether it was too late to grade or not, and there were some shakeups at my workplace that may ease things up a bit. And I just put in an order to https://www.minimallycompliantmasks.com/. I figure if I’m going to suck it up and not be the first to start the revolution, I might as well be more comfortable playing the sheep. I bought their ‘You’re treading’ shirt though, too. Now I feel better, and will keep plowing through.
That’s how we get them, once they are mid veg, we clone them, and watch the clone mothers to sex the children, all Males must die!
Once I move to a state that allows it, we’ll start back up again… and cull the males!
You stoners have gotten much more violent than I recall
Only with vegetation. Until there’s no other option I’ll vote with my feet on the tyrants.
Hey, our President elect is maybe 8 months from being flora.
I turned so many people off of Biden just by giving them the link to the full, unedited Cornpop speech, and that was when he appeared to be in better shape. I’m not sure he’ll hold out 8 months before Jill and Kamala are scratching eyes for first place; he’s already a mess.
There was a great album of ’30s jazz-cigarette songs once; it might have been titled If You a Viper, e.g.: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=RD4a-F4tMz0
From an old friend:
Wordfence, Jetpack, and Siteground are unmitigated pieces of shit. I hope all of their employees get painal cancer and get trapped in a room with their non working captchas on the exit. Fuck them all with tetanus dipped rusty chainsaws.
Forget your password again?
I have no idea what captcha is asking me
I don’t hear well, but I’m doing the audio now
I don’t know what Wordfence is but you are absolutely correct on Jetpack and Siteground, so I will assume you are correct on Wordfence also.
Dunno, but I hate captchas. It’s like they’re trying to trick you. Click all panels that include planes, and they have one with a tiny spot in the sky. Turns out, it’s another plane.
Does that little sliver of the traffic light count as a traffic light or not. argh
I suspect robots would do the captchas better, tbh.
Does a van count as a truck? and how the hell am I supposed to know if that is a capital O or lowercase with the silly ribbon effect.
Well crap. RIP Hal Ketchum.

Oh, no. William and Mary won’t do.
cue kickass guitar solo.
Let’s just say our definitions of “kickass guitar solo” are different.
I know there are way more technically accomplished solos, but someting about Baxter’s playing on that song always gets me.
It’s that acquired taste, that thing where you give a favorite band or an artist extra room that you wouldn’t give a less favorite artist laying down something similar.
Skunk is focusing on tone as funk was kicking ’round the country at that time, but it’s mediocre stuff unless you think the funk angle is important. Sadly, I must confess this is one of the few Steely Dan tunes that doesn’t have a single guitar element that I’m not comfortable with nailing, and I have zero talent for guitar (it’s all math to me, and my rhythm is utterly awful).
(not to make light of dementia, which is unbelievably cruel)
wait…I thought we made light of everything here.
I think we just did. Still, dementia sucks.
Yeah, for sure. I used to think cancer was horrible until I became aware of dementia. Not to downplay cancer…but damn, not remembering your spouse and children? Ugh.
You DO love me!
I can neither confirm nor deny.
Wait, we’re talking about Squirrely Dan, right?

https://dailycaller.com/2020/11/24/joe-biden-gun-control-liability-protections-gun-manufacturers-bankrupt-commerce-in-arms/
at the end of the day, your insurer is trumps; without special insulation from the contemporary eight-degrees-of-freedom liability rulings, the prices of everything gun goes up an order of magnitude
Team Red has two years of Dead On Arrival, but they get whacked in the Senate in 2022 whereupon, unless Team Biden is as incompetent as OrangeMan was in passing promised legislation, there comes a Blue wrecking ball. That is the greatest threat to freedom I can imagine.
Unless the Dems lose midterm house seats, as is normal, and the House flips. No legislation but court packing, executive appointments, and treaties would be up for grabs.
hmmmm: the House; that’s good thinking.
Treaties take 2/3 of the Senate, so nothing is happening there. . . ‘cepting that a lot of treaties in the past 50 years weren’t treaties: they’re proposed to Congress as bills supporting agreements and act and smell like treaties if the bureaucracy wishes to enforce them as such.
I think it’s safe to say that that election is more important than the one that just “concluded” at this point.

“Your right to artistic freedom ends when it perpetuates harmful misinformation about a category of people who will quite literally die from it.”

I HATE that shit. The NYC subway started pulling that crap last year. There is NOTHING “discriminatory” about “ladies and gentlemen”. This is just more New Soviet Man bullshit. The left hates civility and culture and language among many other things.
Oh goodie, Biden is going to put the Cuban commie who created the illegal DACA program in as head of DHS. Fucker should be warming a jail cell. Had Dementia Joe received his list of nominees for the DOD and service secretaries from Russia and China yet?
We should start a betting pool on how long he survive in office.
My guess is May.
But will the DNC let Jill be another Mrs Wilson, or will Commielaw take the reins?
Depends on whether the competing factions see an advantage to keeping Harris out of the seat.
Speaking of Biden’s health. Remember a month ago when the media was making a big deal of Trump’s doc being a DO? Well guess who also uses a DO as their personal physician yet crickets…

One of the comments says it’s from an Oct BLM protest/riot. So the Covid reference may be a bit misleading.
The guy being arrested says “I had nothing to do with it” so seems more riot related than Covid curfew.
Riot curfew is still bullshit.
I was gonna say, the cops clearly say “curfew” in the video so it still seems rather extreme.

“In Reversal, General Motors Backs Biden, Withdraws Support For Trump Emissions Rollbacks”
https://www.zerohedge.com/markets/reversal-general-motors-backs-biden-withdraws-support-trump-emissions-rollbacks
And if Trump pulls this out of his ass they’ll reverse their reversal. Sounds like Government Motors wants their seat at the slop trough.
As someone who drives a GM product, and has been very happy with it for a long time: a thousand curses upon them and their phlegmy, drooling snouts, forever obsequiously nuzzling at the federal bosom on which the chapped, sore, and bleeding nipple of taxpayer milk which they parasitize is sucked and gummed in perpetuity into a swollen mess, the ensuing secretion curdled and reddened by the blood and pus oozing out of wounds never left to heal. To hell with GM.
That’s quite the impressive collection of multisyllabic words and, yeah, GM sucks. I’d switch to Toyota but I already did that thirty years ago.
I’ll never have the magnificent poetic touch of SugarFree, but I like to flex my imagination muscle sometimes, and I’ve already eaten breakfast about three hours ago, so that helps. I too have had a couple of Teryoters, but pars were kind of expensive in comparison to other manufacturers. They were slightly older models that were manufactured in Japan, so maybe it’s not the same for newer models made at in-market factories over here. For the most part I’m happy in a T.
I swore off their products sometime in the late 90s.
Huh, I thought all the big automakers were already against the rollbacks.
