Oregon Outdoor

oldjarhead100 well said OJ, nothing like a old fashioned outdoor gorilla grow or legal outdoor to slap you down if you let it. Were all farmers, some years we have great success sometimes Mother Nature rains down her wrath, we just gotta prepare for it, not go crazy on what were able to do.
GardenLady I'm so excited about retiring just learning to sleep in past 0400 and growing a garden that's not rushed do to work. I love artsy gardens, using river rock with raised beds. My head is swimming in ideas.
I have 2 photos left to finish may be 3wks or less?? I did feed bloom with molasses today, it will probley be their last bloom feeding rest will be straight H2o and molasses then a wk of drying out in the containers. Gonna go long with these two. My tent is going well there 4 photos, 5gal containers homemade soil mix for indoor. 2burnt cookie, 2 black cherry punch. They are 5wks one has been top and LST, the others in a couple days only 4 nodes so far I wait till 5-6 nodes, they'll be top and LST. Trying to decide about manifold, makes me abit tentative but I gotta give it a try else i'll never know. Anyhoo, happy Friday to all, sunny very cool here. Peace and good growing :)
 
You should go for a manifold or a quadline! I’m finding the training to be a ton of fun, and with photos, there’s no risk. The results usually speak for themselves, I think.
 
Yes I've really been studying up on it looking and looking at the techniques. I'm going to give it a go. Do you top and LST along with manifold? I've only top and LST one of the tent plants so far so the other 3 aren't big enough for me yet. I generally wait till the 4-5 node to top then LST but mine others at this point only have 3-4 nodes now.
 
Budgal . You will love being retired. I still get up early. My favorite time of day now that I can enjoy drinking coffee for two hours. Lol. And just enjoy it knowing I don't have to go to work😄😄😄😄
 
I certainly enjoy not having to go to some job every day! But it was a while before the Daddy I need slowed down, when did I have time to work?!? And the bad/icy weather, I can set and watch others slide into the ditches! I do still get up early,,,
 
Old jar head yep that is one great reason. The other is I get to do my own thing now.. @ Farmall..are you growling because you aren't retired yet??? Or at a different post???😀
And Rwise ..I feel the same way. If they don't get our roads plowed I don't care anymore 😄😄😄😄

I only have topped the once with a quadline. I don’t think you top quadlines repeatedly... at least not autos. I definitely LST though, really heavily.
 
Heres one tied down

What?!? You get road maintenance? I have been trying to find out if my road is mine or the counties. They paved it when I was a youngen, but have not kept it up!
 
WARNING: this rant may not be for everyone....but since you’ve asked. ... !

I can’t even spell retired yet.... I need to buy 3 consonants and vowels... I should be retired, I’m putting off collecting ss for this year even though eligible. I have younger partners who can’t see any retirement for several more years so I’m stayin in for now. YES, I HATE IT. The area I live has changed despite my highly secluded life and attitudes have shifted .. traffic on a long commute sucks and you never know what hour is going to have overturned trucks or stupid fender benders ON THE OTHER SIDE... AND the people in the direction I’m driving has to slow down and gawk. 7 feet later, we’re back to 70mph. My new truck has 95000miles on it in 2 1/2 yrs, my diuretic works... so in the 100 plus minutes I’m on the road, EACH WAY, I need to stop sometimes twice IN THE MORNING I’m bored driving so I pick at all stupid kinds of snacks. I want to move but we now have grandchildren nearby so ... my wife is locked in. I still want to move. From what I heard on the radio last week I want to move to the west coast. Desperately..but that will not happen and I’m 99.3% sure of it. Someone once said, it’s compromise....haha haha

oh...back to the original question.... no, I grow because it is so much fun and a wonderful experience, the people like you and others here and a few I associate with here of like mind, just seem to have so much of the same thinking and many have similar youthful stories and experiences which brings the camaraderie even tighter. I've never personally met anyone here but there are a dozen or more that I could meet tomorrow and carry-on as if we’d known each other for years.

As I get older I have suddenly had an awakening of sorts. I know I have less tolerance ( not the weed). Time seems to fly. As a kid it took months for a few weeks to pass, now if I think too long, it’s Friday already. It pains me to waste any time and it pains me to apply motivation in the wrong directions or postpone things I want to do. I’m guessing that’s why they coined the words : conundrum and nuthouse
 
Farmall I've been "retired" for years now due to a major injury. Well a whole bunch of them. But I have worked harder since retirement than I ever worked when I was "working." I get a nice pension but it will never increase and sometimes its not enough so I go back to construction or more income based farming. I am sorry you cant retire and see it for yourself but it sounds like you are doing it to help people you are friends with. That makes it priceless and worth every second.
