'Space Cookies' by Paradise

Hello, hello all you fine folks. This is end of Week 9, Bloom w/ Space Cookies. The Deets: The Good: -This is end game folks! SC is turning in wonderfully and her pheno's are popping up all over the place. It's a great show, full of purple/blue/black hues. She's still holding onto her nasticity and form very well, despite being cannibalized😀. -One final trich push is ocurring, even though she was already caked in goodness. Can hardly see the bud under all those trichs. Awesome👍 -I'm very impressed with this plant. As mentioned before, she doesn't/won't have a heavy yield, but from what I see, each nugget, big or small, is absolute gold. Can't wait to try her out....patience! The Bad: -Absolutely no bad. This is end game baby! We made it!😀 The 'Meh': -Besides a heat wave (that I can't control) and some fox tailing, everything is just fine... I don't have "meh's" either. Happy, happy👍 Notes of the Week: -Space Cookies will be coming down this Saturday, August 8th. Prepped the dry tent and we're ready to go. DD will come shortly after and GDPB and PSK will be last (according to trich pictures and color). -Feeds on all girls have been tapered downwards w/ SC on straight water w/ Liquid Weight, a touch of PK and some humic acid. They are all turning in accordingly and will all be ready for the chop in no time -Fox tailing did occur on all! girls due to very high, consistent heat in my area. I'm not upset at all. Nature is nature and the girls are just fine despite a couple tails here and there. Besides being less aesthetically pleasing, there's nothing wrong with them at all. -I was going to go out and buy another 2x2x3 propagation tent but was thankfully stopped by someone who gave me a better idea. Why not just buy another 4x4x6... I will be expanding soon here and have been weighing my options, so going with a big unit makes sense... for 40 bucks more I purchased a 4x4x6 unit with a separate 2x1 propagation chamber w/ racking and a divider wall. May not use the propagation part of the unit, but I felt it was good to have options. Maybe I want to grow some micro greens? Done! -Looking for a location as we speak, to expand my projects. I talk about it a lot, but after some very informative and positive conversations/affirmations, I'm actively contacting and looking for a location that I can exercise my ambitions/passions. It's really tough... Anywho, I have faith I'll find something, write up a contract to cover my ass, and then move on to bigger and better things. Don't know if this will be a live in situation or a proxy location. When I know this part, I can finally pull my ACMPR licence and go bigger👌 -I won't name name's, but I wanted to thank the couple fella's I've been speaking too lately (you know who you are😉). These types of dudes are the reason I'm here in the first place. They have supported me endlessly and given me ambition to move forward. I've always had a pretty low level of self-esteem, but these two gentlemen are changing that (I don't think they even know...). I'm starting to see the value in what I do and have faith in myself in what I can accomplish, if I want it. As long as I keep my humility, stay humble and withhold expectations, I feel great things are on the horizon. **Story Time**(You don't have to read this) Here's a story, spurred by one of the conversations I have had recently. The topic was people who ask tonnes of questions but neglect to accept any advice....and just how much of a piss off that is when we spend time answering these questions. I have that buddy of mine that I mentioned a couple weeks ago, the one with the garbage plants that were dying right before your eyes. Over the span of two weeks and three procedures, I managed to bring the girls back to relatively decent health...they weren't dying anymore and that was a victory. They started to actually bud up and put on some mass too. I was quite happy with my efforts and though it wasn't perfect, I felt they would at least make it to end game. Not pretty, but complete. Anywho, this fella wasn't interested in a single thing I was doing... I tried to talk to him about what was going on, what I was seeing and how we start the process to get out of this mess. Complete disinterest. He wanted the job done for him, he had no intention of learning a thing or understanding how and where he went wrong. When the plants started to look better, he essentially kicked me out... "I'll take it from here, I know what I'm doing" (literal quote). Well, if you knew what you were doing or listened to a GD word that I've said, you wouldn't have been in this mess in the first place... And by my word, I mean everything I've learned from 100's of growers. Proven success and method... Anywho, he wanted to know what to do next (even though he "knew" what he was doing). I wasn't happy with him, but I wrote him a schedule anyways because I wanted to see the girls survive. It was far less about him at this point and far more about the girls. I felt sick watching them suffer😟. Fast forward a couple days, I call him and ask how the schedule went. "I didn't do it" he says. "The girls aren't looking to good now, can you come by and take a look?". SNAP! NO, Ahh, no. All that time and effort put in just for you to say screw it??? All of that for nothing!?! Super👍 Quick conclusion, and this may come off harsh, but it's the damned truth. Please don't ask questions or ask for help if you do not care to hear the answer or understand the process. . Really hard to give advice to people who push back and argue the answer to the question they asked. Anywho, no more of that. There are a crap tonne of new growers out more receptive to available information. Tonnes that have the ambition to learn and grow (literally and figuratively). These growers are worth the time and effort because they listen and care to expand their knowledge base. While I type this, I'm aware it may come off as elitist or self-centered, but please understand where this is coming from, and I'm 100% positive many other growers have faced the same "type" of grower. Just, don't waste your time. This incident with my friend has left our relationship in tatters....all over some plants. It's far better to leave these people to their own devices and failures, then to try and interject or help. At the end of the day, they won't listen and you're time and efforts are of far better use elsewhere. Pay it forward! But honestly folks, screw these people... That was a ramble that I needed to get off my chest. It's been weighing on my for two weeks (last I saw him was two weeks ago when I walked away). People like the idea of growing weed but have no intention of actually learning?.. Just not worth it. Move on and help someone that wants to learn. Most importantly, don't please don't become jaded by these non-growers (I did briefly😓). Just focus that attention on someone wanting and receptive to new information. Someone that wants it... That is all😕** That was this week everyone! I look forward to popping by next week when SC is complete and chopped down! Thanks for stopping by and I hope you alllll have a great week w/ the girls, your family and friends. Take care all you happy growers. Cheers✊👋
