It’s Berry Blast by Phylos ILGM is selling their seeds now an I’m glad. It’s Sativa dominant an probably the strongest I’ve had, but I.m easily buzzed I’m 75 an started using after retirement cuz I could have been fired for using. It did have a considerable amount of bud rot, I blame myself on that as I really poured on the sweetner . Also tried their Cheddar Cheese which is Indica dominant and also great.

Thanks for the update @pillsbury
Ive not heard of that strain
Also re the bud rot sativa strains have to grow that much longer into the autumn 
More prone to the dreaded bud rot
I have to deal with the stuff a lot
I have made a cross that copes ok and thats hollands hope x frisian dew
But i love growing lots of different strains each summer so i have to just live with the rot monitor closely
Hope it drys and cures ok
And reap the rewards of your labours and joy

Was walking back from the outside toilet this morning and suddenly there a pop and the feeling someone hit my calf muscles from behind
I staggered back to the house
And here i lay broken hearted
Seems like my calf muscles have snapped
Googled it came up with tennis leg
Few weeks ago i broke one of my toes
Oh dear oh dear
Be out on the couch on the verandah tonight cant get up the stairs

@Blackmoon dangit bro, that sounds painful 
. I forgot y’all still use the outdoor toilet. I’ve used those, but mostly when I was just a kid. But also at the deer camp we had one. And we used to make our own when we were building a house. Probably have laws against that now, got to pay for those port a jons. Anyway I sure hope you get better soon brother.

Thanks @RPgrower
I got some sleep over night so that was a good thing
Bad timing as we plan to go on a holiday in a week or so
I really dont like inside toilets
I think its a weird thing
A shared room often with a shower and vanity in the same room
Make a smell and everyone else using the room has to bare the smell
Outside away form living space
We have a composting toilet system
Can be frowned upon by council
Weird part in our area council is ok with a straight deep hole in the ground
But dont decomposition it first for a few years turn it into soil then plant trees with it
Go figure 
Anyways no one policing it
Thanks for your kind words 
Hope it heals fast too
Bit of a set back after all the exercises and effort ive been doing lately
Cheers

Im thinking ive gotten away with this setback lightly really
Could easily been a major leg in cast for 6 weeks.
It an inconvenience thats for real
Made my world a lot smaller with things i can do
Its healing well and my mind set is positive
Even though i notice the opertunity to spiral down and play on it
I i dont want to go there i want it strong and i want to move on
And i think this positive attitude is die to the exercise program ibe been on
I feel the work ive put in is helping the recovery of this injury
Plus ofcourse all the healing vibes we generate and give out on this forum its awesome
Still gunna take a while non the less
Thanks for reaching out
Cheers

It seems like you just can’t catch a break lately. Did they say how long you will be down for. I don’t want to think about the pain from this. A leg cramp is bad enough for me. I know it makes every thing tougher where you are at. I am way far behind here. So not caught up at all. I wish you a speedy recovery

Thank you so much @Not2SureYet
Very kind 
Yes way worse than the tightest cramp
Its like a tightest cramp exploding like a pimple inside the muscle belly 
I still got off lightly could have ripped the Achilles tendon
I was weight bearing slightly on it today
So thats good
Just another set back so closely followed by the broken toe incident only a few weeks earlier
Cheers
Been medicating nicely thought

Wishing you a speedy recovery! I am trying to heal tendonitis and bursitis in my Achilles tendon/heal cap lol! Sucks getting older, don’t it lol!
Our growing season was late to start and early to end. The best thing that grew this year was potatoes. 148lbs Must be the Irish in me.
I didn’t get half of last years take on tomatoes so bought extra locally to do my thing! I usually get130- 150 lbs not this year 50-60! The marry girls didn’t do any better!
That being said what did grow outside was excellent for a change! Not much but great!
It is what it is and I am great full for the bounty I did receive.
I hop you Feel better soon!

Apriecate you doing this
If there’s a will there’s a way hay
For the small bag she in she doing ok
Trying to work out what to do with her while im away
Maybe get an auto pot for her
It was this size bag that i grew out my regular plants last year and they got to a decent height
Single leader but got a nice enough flower on the girls the boys made enough pollen and got some seeds
Im thinking of reducing the size of my bags this year
For ease of moving them round until my body really strong again
That gotta be my focus this years getting a more reliable body

Oh no
Your condition sounds horrible and painful
Oh dear
Yep getting old is a challenge for sure
Im in the process of changing the script and this is just a set back
Ive bought this training program on line and it’s really helping
For a short summer you got some good yields with your potatoes 
Glad the flowers you did get where ok too
We are putting more attention toward growing more food again now and saving seeds
We enering interesting times i feel
Well its starting to warm up over here so it must be getting cold over there
Keep warm
Best of luck with your tomato
