What did you accomplish today?

I've interrupted light cycle many times and I've not had herms from it. I have had herms from unstable plants who rodelized to easily even in a stable light, climate and nutrient environment. But that's anecdotal. Plant hormonal shifts take a pattern and time to happen. These plants evolved in unstable nature where they had cloud cover etc...

Anyway get the lanterns the plants will think it's a cloudy day and I don't want you falling down in your basement. I'd miss you around here.
I worked shifts for years and changed my photo period weekly so I would have time after work to tend to plants.

Always manually added extra dark time on my day off between shifts, changed the timer and never had the slightest problem doing that.

Only in flower, in veg the light lights ran long enough that I always had time or I'd just turn them back on for an hour.

I cut down that awesome tray, it was even better than I anticipated. I'll post dry weight when it's ready. Pruned and staked the next tray in the series, and moved it over to the tray 2 spot -

Planted this new tray of clones. I'm behind, so they were getting too tall -

I also emptied and refreshed the 4 flowering reservoirs (27 gallons each) -

This next tray comes down in about a week. I could use the time off, too much plant shit. These bitches are SO demanding...

Cold smoked some bacon I cured. I didn't use pork belly but the fat cap from a pork shoulder. It's called buckboard bacon.


Did you get that at a butcher shop or do you know someone who raises pigs?

I'm looking for a thin, lean slab or half slab to make Hungarian paprika bacon. And it's damn hard to find suitable bacon for that in the 21st century. Be curious to see what that looks like in a slab.

Damn bro, that looks amazing. How is it compared to the store bought stuff.
Better than most. Not as salty. This was just my first try at making bacon but I'll be making more in the future.

I bought some pork shoulder at Smart Food Service. They came two shoulders to a pack. I used one to make pulled pork and I ground one to make sausage. This was the fat cap that has some meat in it. It's much cheaper than pork belly. But after it's cured, smoked, and cooked I couldn't tell the difference. That Hungarian Paprika Bacon sounds really good. My grandmother was Hungarian and used to make something similar many decades ago when she was still alive. I might have to give that a try next time. But now that you've brought up Hungarian Bacon I think I'll make cabbage rolls for dinner tonight. (:

Cold front moving in now. Dropped 3 degrees in the last 45 minutes with a SE wind to 10. Should be getting some decent rain today and the ski resorts should get almost 2 feet of snow. Supposed to clear out this afternoon but we'll see if that happens. I'm thinking pancakes and sausage this morning. Morning all.
