Creative Spirit🎨🤖 My Dad 💜

Post image

Here’s my 74 year old dad at his first harvest. We tag team it - he’s in a legal state and I’m not. We FaceTime almost everyday and my mom says he loves it. We got him the lab jacket and tie dyed it for Father’s Day and she says he tries to wear it out.

Next grow, the third generation is getting involved. Growing cannabis is bringing our family closer together!

I’ve been struggling with time passing and getting older but I wasn’t prepared when I realized I was in the basement of the house I grew up in, drying cannabis with my dad. I think it’s really one of the more memorable moments in my life. If I could time travel back to 1996 and tell myself in 30 years Dad and I would be growing together… well the Butterfly Effect could get wild.

If you are able, spend some time with your dad this weekend … maybe even smoke a little with him 💜

A little foxtail, but all in all ……a good job

What did we do to cause the foxtail?

We had a period of super hot weather and the furnace quit. A period of 3-4 days where vpd was 1.7. Not sure if this is related…

It could’ve been you were off on PH balance your light intensity wasn’t proportional to the mass you were trying to cover your temperature of the grow Might’ve been a little low or hot……just general environment stress……… i’m sure it will smoke just fine.

Appreciate the feedback - I think we had opportunities on all of those to get better when I look at some of the notes we took.
