We actually met when we were around 40…She will always seem like she was those many years ago to me. We have only grown closer with time. That may sound a bit sappy but that is the reality that we have the wonderful good fortune to call our life together.

Bit late but the very best of Birthdays and year ahead to Mrs Merlin. My wife and I have shared well over 30 years together and I can sense a similar bond you have.
Gods richest blessings to you both from New Zealand.

All of you folks have certainly made it special for her. You can not know how much that means to me.
I spent the last 2 hours getting the pork loins ready for the oven. I have always done all our cooking.
She cleans up after the explosion that I create in the kitchen. Even on her birthday.

Recently retired from 30+ years of similar work. I spend enough time with the plants personally for my psychological benefit I don’t need so much automation but I’m on your frequency. Beautiful plants sir!

It has been a busy couple of days on this thread with all of the birthday celebration for Mrs Merlin. Thank you to everyone for making the day special for her.
It is time for my weekly update. It has been 25 days since flipping to flower schedule, about 16 days into actual flowering.
The Maui Wowie and the Robert Bergman’s Gold Leaf are developing and stacking at about the same pace. The Super Silver Haze is about 4 or 5 days behind, in terms of stacking and trichome development. SSH is a slightly longer flowering strain so this is not terribly surprising. It is surprising that the MW and GL are about the same as the MW is a shorter flowering strain.
The Roots Organics dry nutrients are quite effective so far. I top dress with the dry nutrients (following mfgrs chart) each Monday and water daily.
Here is a shot of the entire grow:
Here is a low angle shot of GL-2:
And a little closer look at GL-2:
There will be another trimming session today and perhaps another tomorrow.
