Nice cross, I made a Super Silver Hashplant x Headbanger to pass out. Pollen chucking is fun.

Thank you for the kind words. Pollen chucking is indeed a ton of fun. :)
I actually grow under screw-in, off the shelf LEDs, in DIY frames.

The only "grow" light I use is an HLG65, everything else is SILs.

I did my seeds and clones under screw ins. Always thought of building a unit for my 2x4 veg closet, but ended up buying the hlg 65 also. Definitely not disappointed with those.

I've had a SIL rig in my main flowering tent for a few years now. I have the old roleadros in the closet for emergencies, but have no interest in upgrading my lights. I'm very happy with what I harvest in both quality and quantity.

SILs are very useful in many applications. Also always easy to replace or to change wattage/spectral distribution. I love them in my CAB and they keep seedlings short and stocky.

Covid is in my home town 6 total cases now , my goal is to stay pickled

I get it. There are new cases here daily, often among staff at various grocery stores, and new breakouts at hospitals/care home/schools on a regular basis.

I've basically reduced my personal contacts to two people. Then a few days ago the instruction from the medical folks was to reduce our contacts by 25%, so I texted my two people and asked them each to remove a limb. :eyesmoke::roll:

I'm not a very sociable person but even I feel a little isolated sometimes. For truly social people, this must be really, really awful. From my years of working and being friends with people from Atlantic Canada, I know community and family tend to be a far bigger part of life there than out here in always-hustling, fuck-your-neighbor-over-for-a-dollar Alberta. The loss or reduction of that support system has to suck too.

Yesterday was a great social recharge for me. The weather was warm for November, so I went river fishing. (it isn't about how many you catch, shut up, don't ask ;) )

Not only did I have a fantastic time breathing fresh air and washing my lures, I met a few very interesting people and we had very enjoyable, socially distanced conversations. I can now go back to being a happy hermit for a while.

Edit: too many "great"s, synonyms added :)

Everyone loves our East Coast Lifestyle. We enjoy the simple things in life and don't get too worked up when shit goes sideways.
Sitting on the beach watching the sun set on the Northumberland Strait is nice!! PEI is off to the right in the pic

I'm looking at a map and trying to figure out your point of view for that shot. You on Cape Breton or around Antigonish?

It's weird, I've heard so many tales of life on The Rock and CBI and in New Brunswick but don't have any real understanding of the actual geography and how it's all connected. I've heard about life as a lobster fisherman, about working in the Irving Refinery, about going up the road to the Anglo town looking for fights one weekend and scrapping in the local reserve town the next, about kitchen parties(my absolute favorite thing about East Coast Culture), about crazy excursions and underage drinking on Saint-Pierre, and a million other stories that have fueled my appreciation but it's hard to visualize the land, as it is so very different from what I know.

The map of the West is so much easier to learn. :)

I live where the ferry runs between NS and PEI. I work in the lobster industry so I get to enjoy working around the water, so it's a great gig. I lived in Moosejaw for s bit so I understand the geography in the prairies.
Although everyone calls us all newfies from the maritimes, we aren't. If you've met a real Newfie you'd already know they are one of a kind and the finest of people.

I haven't tried freezeland but heard of nice cuts years ago.IMG_2061.JPG

I have more class than that. I don't even call a Newfoundlander a Newfie unless we are friends and I'm sure it's cool. I have seen first-hand for decades the bullshit you East coast guys put up with out here.

The only time I pull the "ah, you're all Newfies" line out is when I'm fucking around with someone from Ontario. People from the Centre of the Universe HATE that. ;)

I am endlessly in awe of the kindness and generosity of Newfoundlanders. A recent example to come to mind was on a night shift refinery shutdown. A very small group of us from various companies and trades were going through Site Orientation, including Gordon, a gentleman from Cameroon who was on his very first industrial job. Our courses ended sometime after midnight and we were informed we were done for the night.

Gordon had no preparation, was staying in Calgary, a 4 hour drive away, had expected to work a full shift and was generally in a very new and uncomfortable situation with nobody answer to his questions or provide guidance.

Well, you are rarely without a friend if there are Newfoundlanders around. Two fellas, Tom and (I feel like an ass but don't recall the second guy's name) picked up on the situation and right away offered this man a bed for the night. They didn't know him, could barely understand him, but that didn't matter. They saw a man that could use a hand, so they extended theirs without even thinking. They weren't going out of their way or doing some big altruistic act, they were just being Newfoundlanders.
