POGreen's Grow Log 2014

The beer works great for the kill on slugs. There is another one to try- Burn some wood and trash or what ever. Take the ashes and put a circle around each plant. Check the plant for slug first. The snails and slugs will obsorb the ash and dry out as well. The slime will suck up the ashes and die fast. Makes a great safe trap. I will have the shreader and snuss grinder pics for You in a bit.

Lookin' forward to that Mad !
Does it look anything like mine ?

 

[Mad Oshea]

Almost identical! I'v just got to figure two things out for the drill. 1 how to hold it with no hands (or feet). 2 how to hold the triger as so to cut it off if it hangs up. I have a clutch on the drill.

Sorry , you have to enlarge it to read it , zoom in to 2-400 %

Sad to see. We lost a whole town with all the folks as well to a mud slide this year. It was from more rain than the ground could hold. We have had alot of Guys washed out on their grows as well, but got back in the game like Your self. I hate that crap! I get no rain here. When it did this year, It was gone befor it hit the ground (evap at 10% humid.) Going on over one year with none at My place. There is so much devistation due to weather here in the US, that We can't post a fraction of it. A lot of lives lost to much of many related conditions from hot to wet to storms and tornadoes. It is to be in the triple didgets here today. WWAAAAA

I got a phonecall last night from a friend not to far from where I live.
He'd been drinkin' beer and was a bit pissed , but anyway he asked me how my plants were doin and had to tell him they were almost dead or close to be.....
This guy is growing baccy aswell and he said that he had some one's from his Burleyvariety, a big plant with huge leafs.
Asked me if I wanted some and sort of hesistated cause I wanna do everything by myself , but said Ok to him and he's comin down Tuesday next week with 100 seedlings. Had too many he told me ( 7-800 )
Gonna plant'em in my NEW PATCH IN SAND + COWCHIT.
I buy sacks of it at the supermarket , 45 Gallons for 15 bucks , don't know how its going to turn out , I'll just hope for the best.
The downside to it is that I have to ( as always ) use my bike to carry the sacks , but I'm pretty much used to that now. Have had quite a few experiences where I sort of loose control over it all and end up ( or down) on the ground.....
An arab ( so called refugee here ) helped me out last time I was there and I guess he was thinkin : WTF , this guy must be a complete nutcase , ridin his bike a few miles into town with 45 Gallons of CoWShIt on his bike..........
To be continued........

 

[Brown Thumb]

I knew you had Baccy in your Blood.
A lot of us buy starts, I will be buying a lot this yr. they way the rest are doing.

 

[POGreen]

I didn't.....
No one over here is selling starts , guess we're 10-15 years after you guys.Has always been like that I think.......
But not when it comes down to snus-kit's , its the other way around in just this one case.
So , you'll end up havin your 700 plants in the end if I figured this out right ?
You buy from BigBonner or someone else and what varieties do you take in ?
Is Skychaser selling starts ?

No PO, We are far behind You folks over Your way. We just got over grow nuts this year. It is a virous, even for the helpers and chear leaders. LOL If I could get some of My plants to You I would. I am like You are- If I can't do it, I go without. Go ahead and take the plants. I would this time.......

 

[POGreen]

Look here sonny , some guys over here use ricecookers to make their snus.
I thought a ricecooker was supposed to cook rice , or aint it ?
You see how behind we are ?
I 'll remember what you say bout them plants for next time........

Didn't really turn out the way expected , with a little messup on the way but this about what it looks like when I use my ''homemade motordriven grinder ''

As promised, This is a clear hose that I put in boiling water, then sloped over the shaft for the drill. Then I sliped it over a cut off bolt that fits the grindr, I let it cool- Didnt have to put clamps on this one. I had to use a cut off key slot for the pasta mashine. ( cutting some baccy.

 

[POGreen]

Think I got the idea Mad , looks great to me , I'd like to see a video when you drive it , if possible.....
Kinda flexible or is it not ?

 

[Mad Oshea]

Almost at a 90 degree if You want. I'll try for some vidio if I can. This PC is a junker LOL.

Words I was lookin for : reed in the dunes and peat in the holes instead of sand.

 

[grgfinney]

Good luck on the guerrilla grow PO

 

[POGreen]

Thanks greg ,

Have a total of 41 Burley located in both ends of the beach pretty far up in the dunes.
25 at one place and 16 at another spot.
On the left end of the beach is where the council have their sewage treatment facility , the processed water is then pumped far out to the sea.
Many people tkae their dogs for a stroll on this beach and is sometimes called '' doggybeach''.

 

[ArizonaDave]

Nice Video! You have a nice view of the beach too!

 

[POGreen]

Thanks Dave !

The major reason to why I chose this spot is that it is sand , second is not far away from where I live and maybe third is th pretty nice view as a bonus.
Downside is mostly mosquitoes and that I see myself forced to sneak like a snake behind the dunes......
We have somewhat of a '' tropical heatwave '' here as of now and hopefully it'll last , except for Saturday this weekend.
Degs. in their mid 80's or 30 C.
