LightCyan, Nice work. looks like you will have some nice blooms in a couple of weeks. You will soon be familiar with what we call an "ohcomeonalready" moment. That precise point in time when your bloom clock is up but the plant is still taking its sweet time. Becky, I think the key thing will be the size of the bark you want to add. Each Gritty mix component must have a specific size in order for the engineering and physics to work just right. My recommendation would be to use gritty mix for rooting as is without amendments if you have it. After all it's perfect as is... ; P K

Prostate is three times normal size, on original visit cancer doc couldn't reach the far end of it with his finger, which I think he found a bit unusual. So they say that those beads? pearls? of radioactive stuff aren't useful in such a situation: a problem of too large proportions, it seems. Some time ago some guys were complaining about being unenthused about the doc sticking his/(her?) finger up their rear end ... ... and I said that they thought that they had a problem ... how would they like to be the doc? They hadn't thought of that! Sometimes helpful to put yourself into someone else's shoes (rubber gloves?). Hypothetically, that is. I wondered about telling this story here this afternoon, as I didn't want to appear to be dragging this message back to the top, unnecessarily ... ... but there were some issues to deal with, apart from that ... ... so here's the story. As I was taking son home from the cancer centre to his place, as we approached a signal light on the main street in our city, going with the green, a slim young lady stepped off of the curb on the left on the far side, texting as she walked. I slowed some, but as she approached the middle of the street, she stopped ... ... then, as we were closer, began walking again ... ... and I was on the brakes. Then she decided that it would be a good idea to stop. Don't know whether she saw us ... or heard my leaky/noisy muffler, too close for comfort. I'll have to tell the garage, where they told me last year that the muffler wasn't in good shape ... but that I didn't need to worry about it asphyxiating me. Maybe it helped a young lady avoid a skinned shin? (There's a $400.00 fine, recently imposed, for distracted driving: they say that it's causing more fatalities than the drunks, lately). Maybe I should have pulled over and gone back to ask her whether she knew how to get tire tracks across her legs? ole joyfuelled

Cute doggies! Mine is a Yorkie/Maltese mix and is cute as a button. Nice growing, Barb! Next to pups popping out of the soil, pups coming out of a drain hole are my favorite things to see. My problem is I never know how to repot with a pup diving out the bottom! Please let me know/see how you handled it.

It sounds like a fun way to get healthy. Good luck on it! I go through a get healthy process every year, but I start in the fall when the outside temps are perfect for getting moving. Going to the gym in January is demotivational for me because I have to fight with all of the other people for equipment. We have great weather right now and sunshine so I'm heading outside to enjoy it while I can.
