Yikes - don't think I like rats. I did kill one once when I was like 10 or something. My Gran had a hen house and there were rats underneath it. One day all these old farmer types turned up, we all stood in a big circle round the hen house, some with shovels, others with spades and I was handed a piece of wood (the bastards LOL). The old guys lifted the hen house away and started digging. I just remember the rats were running everywhere in all directions and I bashed one with my piece of wood. Dead. I had nightmares for weeks afterwards LOL.

Well Green how did ye fair out with the rain? Twas a shitty night here in the Sth but not too bad today bright & warm:weed: I've attached a few pics of my AMS (Late) grow leaf curl & all LOL (7 wks). New growth seems ok in top pics....so i hope they'll be ok. Biggest is 2ft.

I like your method for ridding your garden of those horrid slugs...I keep a couple of strawberry plants close to my grow which attract wasps & noticed a wasp crawling around a curled leaf in which a caterpillar had set up home...No problem to the wasp he went in & dragged him out & off he went. I was fuckin amazed :shock:.... Although its me they're attacking most of the time:cuss:

Slan,


PS.... If Henry is thinking of starting a family i'll gladly provide a home for a baby Henry...full board of course with the tastiest slugs around LOL.

Hi Pink, how's it going. Glad you got a decent day weather wise. Same here thankfully, although it looks pretty ominous at the moment. My latest problem is that they're getting so tall and bushy now that they're getting blown over by the wind LOL. I'll have to figure out a way of weighting them down or securing them so they don't get totally trashed.

Great to see your pics, they're looking good mate, nice and green and definitely starting to bush out. I'd say over the next couple of weeks they'll really take off. You're doing a great job of looking after them Pink, it's not easy outside in our climate. Keep up the good work ;) And thanks for letting me see them.

Wow I didn't know a wasp would take a caterpillar, that's crazy LOL. Have hardly seen a wasp this year up here for some reason. And if I find any baby Henrys I'll give you a shout LOL.

Hi wizard, thanks for dropping in and for the kind comments. I had no idea they would get this big, and they're not even flowering yet. I'm not complaining though LOL. Thanks again mate, catch you later.

Hi all, well I had a damn close call today. My son was knocking about the town with his mates and, unknown to me (I have banned him from using them) they were messing about with BB guns. To cut a long story short my son accidentally fired a pellet which went through the open window of a passing van and hit the guy driving in the face (thank God he wasn't hurt and didn't crash). Anyway the first I knew about it was I got a phone call from the bizzies to say they were on their way up with my son to interview him in my presence, so you can imagine the state I was in trying to get all the girls into the garage before they arrived. Got them in with about 30 seconds to spare. Imagine what might have happened if the peeler hadn't phoned first. In my shock I may well have just brought him in not thinking, and you've seen how the girls sometimes sit at the patio doors as they were today. F**k me I nearly had a heart attack.

Bottom line is he might get done for criminal assault. The peeler was really decent and basically guided my son to state that he'd found the gun in the park (apparently not so serious as if he owned it, which he didn't anyway but no court's going to believe that) and he said he'd do his very best to prevent it going to court. But it waill be up to the DPP. If it doesn't he'll still get a caution, or possibly a warning as he's never been in trouble before. So got himself a record at 13 :cry: The main thing is the driver was OK, otherwise things would obviously be a lot more serious for him and me (I'm the one's goin to have to cough up the fine if he gets done). The peeler said the local magistrates are really hammering people at the minute for throwing stuff at cars etc so I just hope they don't decide to make an example of him. That's all I need at the moment ...

Sorry to be such a downer, I had to share it and at least the thought of me frantically trying to hide the girls might make you smile :)

it is funny in away the frantic running about with those monsters. i would have loved to see that. i can imagine the sight of these plant running into the garage. i imagine you as a medium build person, so i am thinking that you would be hinded behind the as you moved them. THEY ARE ALIVE !!!!

but i am happy you got them out of the way in time.

Thnx kulan hunter, it was a close thing. And I'm only 5'6" so yes it would have looked extremely funny to an onlooker LOL. I'll just have to be really careful over the next few weeks as the bizzies could arrive at any time if they are going to give my son a warning or caution, so I'd better keep them away from those doors. I just feel sorry for the wee man - I think it was a genuine accident (he's a good little guy), just got carries away in the moment with his chums. Life's a bitch at the moment LOL.

It certainly did bob and Staro LOL, and yes both he and his twin sister know. I have bipolar II disorder which is my main reason for growing. Weed is the only thing that really helps, and boy does it do a good job ;) As I can't possibly grow and hide it from them, I thought it best to sit them down before I even bought the seeds and talk it over with them. Basically they understand that it's the only "medication" that works, and they'd much rather have a happy healthy Dad than a miserable useless one, so they were all for it. Actually I was amazed when they said thing like "No big deal Dad, sure so-and-so's Mum smokes it, and so-and-so's Dad etc etc. However, they are under no illusions as to the requirement for absolute secrecy, and I trust them with that. I only hope it doesn't encourage them to smoke (at least not yet LOL) as you know the sort of other crap that kids are taking these days at way too young an age. But they're generally smart kids and, apart from this little mishap today, they don't give us any cause for concern ... touch wood LOL.

Education is the key to prevention. There is little harmful side effect from smoking cannabis, though because it is illegal it is classed with other very harmful drugs, which leads a lot of people that first get into pot to believe that the other drugs are similar in that there really is no "danger" in trying them. Typically they will try them and love or hate them, and either way feel their addictive influence (cigarettes for example) and have to either fight it or feed it. Cannabis is not chemically addictive. Being properly educated on the reality of the drug world greatly reduces the chances of a person using harder more counter productive and even deadly drugs, for which the list is extremely large (Cannabis not being on it). I wonder how exactly I am going to handle the whole situation with my children sometimes. Hopefully by the time they are that old it is legal, or at least more accurately depicted in the education system. I have heard about kids that were left in the dark stealing their parents plants, or turning them in... scary thought.

Agree with everything you say loaded, I'm more than happy to share this with my kids (not the bud LOL, no-one gets any of that) as I'd rather be honest with them whilst at the same time educating them. My boy and I have actually spent a lot more time together chatting since I started growing, and he often joins me watching vids like BrownDirt's prohibition movie and "Tommy Chong smokes weed live on TV" and all that sort of stuff. Sorry, did I say I wasn't trying to encourage him LOL? Having watched me toil, sweat and worry over my handful of babes he was really gripped by BrownDirt and was on the edge of his seat towards the end LOL - better than Batman :wink: I really hope I'm doing the right thing, but I reckon by the time we're through they'll know whats acceptable and what's just outright stupid and dangerous.

what would you do if you found out you're kids smoked weed?
Click to expand...
Reckon I'd sit down and have a good toke with them UK. Then confiscate their weed and smoke it when they went to bed LOL. Na I wouldn't do that ... probably just tell them I disapprove, and THEN get them to light one up. LOL.

Sorry loaded, meant to say there was a big drive here a couple years back where the bizzies went round all the schools "educating" kids about drugs and encouraging them to shop their parents. Loads of them did too ... My kids commented on it and said they thought it was absolutely disgusting (thank goodness for that LOL).
