I definitely plan on upgrades october 6th when i get my college money. New tea set up, and heater pump will have to be on the list.

here is a lil blurb about temp :
Climate: Extremes of moisture will accentuate deficiencies. Excess moisture enhances yield potential and leaching of some nutrients. Dry conditions discourage root activity at shallow levels and reduce the breakdown and flow of nutrients to the plant. Cool temperatures reduce uptake of nutrients by slowing breakdown into plant available forms and decreasing root activity. *(e.g. phosphate has been estimated to be 3 times more available at soil temperatures of 21 degrees C versus 13 degrees C, boron deficiencies tend to be greatest under cloudy cool conditions)

Nitrification is a biological process and proceeds rapidly in warm, moist, well-aerated soils. Nitrification slows at soil temperatures below 50 degrees F. Nitrate-N is a negatively charged ion and is not attracted to soil particles or soil organic matter like NH4+-N. Nitrate-N is water soluble and can move below the crop rooting zone under certain conditions.

I tried to find the chart with the influence of temp figured in too, but could not find it. To be honest i just came from thereand the pics look worse than it is. I think they are just hungry.

That a wood fired heatervya? With air tubes covered in stone,or bricks?

Some quick highlights and benefits of rocket stove mass heaters:
  1. Zero Carbon Footprint
  2. Exhaust is virtually nothing more then steam and CO2
  3. Utilizes 80 to 90 percent less wood (fuel)
  4. Contained heat can last for days
  5. Average build cost under $50.00
  6. Projected build time less then 2 days (average handy person)
  7. Material Lists for building basic Rocket Heaters
    • Fire Bricks
    • Stove pipe or furnace duct work (straight lengths and flex elbows)
    • High temperature thermometer
    • 30, 50 or 55 Gallon Drum (size depends on size of heater being built)
    • Sand, Clay and Perlite
    • Straw (for cob) Great article on making and building with cob. Making Cob 101
    Most of these materials should be able to be located either for cheap from local scrapyards, recyclers, or hardward stores.

I have such a fucked tolerance, it doesn't seem to sedate me much, and what does, not for long. That and I am just someone that's always been raised and then the military as well, you do the job and you get it done. Soldier on. hard to break. I have a lot of my dad in me, much as i hate to admit it, I have a very hard time relaxing and unwinding.

Try meditation, find a place void of all distractions and practice on clearing your mind of all the clutter that keeps you going in 10 different directions. It took me a few months to teach my mind to do it but now each day for 10 - 15 min a day I sit on my back patio with the sound of the waterfall in the Koi pond to calm me and clear my mind and it has done wonders for calming my anxiety.

Take care of yourself...

Just focus on your breathing.
focus on inhaling your breath in 3 parts.
challenge yourself to inhale that one breath evenly over the 3 parts of your lungs..
the bottom, the middle and the very top...
then slowly exhale all the way to the bottom of you lungs and start over...
this practice has helped me fall asleep.


Three Part Breath (Deerga Swasam)

This is the first Pranayama to start practicing.
Deerga Swasam involves breathing sequentially into the three parts of the lungs.
1. the abdomen (lower section of the lungs),
2. the ribcage, and
3. the chest.
On the inhalation, first, send the air to the bottom of the lungs (fill the abdomen); then, fill up the ribcage; and finally, fill up the chest.
On the exhalation, first, relax the chest and let out the air naturally; then, relax the ribcage; and finally, pull in the belly to complete the exhale.
Begin with ease, and gradually, let the breath deepen.
Never breathe too deeply. Always keep the breath comfortably full.
At the top of the inhale, the chest should lift up gently. At the bottom of the exhale, the abdomen should be all the way in.
Start with 5 minutes.
Deerga Swasam can be done as a stand-alone practice.

everything is progressing nicely. I added a few more plants into the flower room, a lemonshine #4, Wet dreams, and a Bay11 haze. Got clones rooted of them, so figure its time to just get them going, and get the room filled.

My canopy level is not at all level...Pretty hard to with so many damn strains. I am gearing up to have future runs be fewer strains, and hopefully more level canopy and thus, better ratios. But gotta get the room filled!

I love your garden and all the varietys and shapes just like it is, its so beautiful.
I see so many gardens that try to get the biggest yield with an even canopy and they are a BORE!
your trees have so much personality, they have a human people like figure shape to them, its sooo trippy. be super spooky around Halloween if you decorated the room a little.
Ha I gave Dr D81 a bunch of Halloween stuff, did you see the severed hand I gave him? im wating for that one to appear in someones garden round here one day.;)

Yea he did actually lol. And the bat to! Yea I been thinking about decorating a few the trees, I know at least the Cherry pie will prob need till october 31 if weather allows it to go that long, and the cheese #1 is looking like it needs a long while yet as well.

I was up on the ladder checking the ladies out, making sure no caterpillars or molds were setting in etc, figured I would take a few snaps. Everything is progressing right along. Ladies seem a bit happier today after the heavy tea feeding, gonna hopefully hook up the water system today, and then hopefully get in a good biobizz flower feed this week as well.

Anyways, enough yacking!!! I know pictures are what y'all want!!
