Spring '17

When I was a teen in the NE we had a ritual that the first day it hit 70º we'd all jump in the river (small, local, clean variety). Some years that was early in April, and there might still be ice on the edges of the river! In that vein, I reduce my winter heavy beard to a spring light/partial one around the first time it hits 70º. I used to grow it every winter and shave the whole thing off every spring... but somewhere in my late 40's I just decided I needed to keep some on year round. It can change in form and usually does, but I haven't had a naked face in a long time.
I'd make sure I shaved AFTER the spring swimming ritual- I'd need all the insulation I could get!

Yeah, that was decades ago. I live near a river now (3000 miles west of my origins) but that ritual vanished around the time I graduated high school. I think if I tried that now I'd want the ambulance parked nearby with its motor running... sounds like a heart attack to me... LOL

Today feels like spring here!!! Looks like the rest of the week will be rain, but today will be spent in the yard. :)

My winter beard looks more like snow every year. By spring I am glad to get my face back. Makes me look younger the wife says.
 
Hey @sandhill larry I was wondering if too much sun for sativas could be a bad thing? The spot I alreadybhave prepped will be getting absolute direct sunlight from about 10 untill about 5..... will be growing white widow.... starting in may.... harvest in about october.... What you think? May just end up with monster plants and a massive yield.....???

I think you will be alright with the sun. You never know about yield, but about a pound . . . . . .

The Tray Jumper went through the cold uncovered. She seems to have had no problem from it. Today was just the 2nd time she got brown sugar, Epson Salts and bloom food. I usually walk to that location, and all that stuff is in my truck. Yesterday I put some of all the above in ziplocks and dropped it off near the plant.

Wednesday during the day, I gathered up a bunch of seed pot. Then I spent an hour or so on last year's thread to double check crosses. That night I was doing the real work at the camp. I went through at least nine kinds, shelling out seeds when there wasn't very many, and just working with the shake with the heavily seeded stuff. I started out rolling a joint from each one, but that didn't last long. I still have a lot to get done, but since I'm starting late, no real rush.
