The Biggest Smont ever! 🤔 Lets find out

[Dustin07]

To make it worse, the shooting pains in the knee at night do wake me up, and my sleep has been atrocious. 4 hours total per night, very broken. I'll fall asleep around midnight or 1:00 a.m. and by 3:30 I'm awake and then I'm just up and down till 6.

Dude I'm sorry thats how mine was from about Dec till first part of Jan. hitting it with the redlight twice a day took down swelling massively and helped a lot with the pain. I wonder if actual fasting would also provide some anti-inflammatory relief, although would be counter productive depending on what you want to see on the scale...

Did manage to get some plants outside, some in the garden, put up a greenhouse that I made the frame out of cow panels and scrap wood around the yard lol

Dude these things are awesome, i've been working up a plan to do the same thing! 2 x 16ft panels is easily a 10 x 8 tunnel/greenhouse!

Also pulled a small harvest indoors from a little trial run I did with some of the plants I will be running outside

LOL your harvest is trimmed up a lot cleaner than my first attempt but those cream & cheese seeds from seedsman have a wild citrus smell, like orange + lemon, its actually really a good smell. I was shocked. I've just been burping it in the mason jar as an experiment to see what happens next.

Ya man, this one I used 2 cattle panels that size, but I left a 2-ft gap in-between them and cut a piece of fencing and used it as like a mesh bandaid to patch the middle. I weaved a couple of spikes through the sides of the cage down into the ground and they stick up about two and a half 3 ft in the air so when the wind blows it won't let the cage flex back and forth very much.

As far as burping and curing goes, if you can keep the humidity in the jar between 58-62 you don't even need to burp them they just cure. If the humidity goes up and when your buds are fresh it usually does rise a little bit that's where burping comes into play to let a little bit of that humidity out. And once the buds moisture level gets below 58 or 56 the curing process has ended. You could potentially keep burping or sharing for a couple of months and it just makes the product get better as long as it doesn't dry out too much.

DM me later on this topic, I got some stuff that might help you with that. There's a couple different ways you can do it but honestly I like the jar method the best. I just keep a little hygrometer inside my jar so I know what the humidity is at

Back to the gym yesterday, just did a couple supersets for chest and back and did some adductor/abductor machines and light leg presses. I'm fighting demons to walk into the gym lol. Even as I'm getting out my car something is telling me to go home. I guess my goal is to make it to the gym 4-5 days a week for a while and do something productive

You sound kind of depressed man. Any chance your test is bunk? I know your knee is knackered, but I still get pissed & fired up about other goals when I’m injured.

No my test definitely isint bunk, Im undoubtedly confident in that. I have been a little depressed, probably more stressed then depressed tho, I got a lot going on. Besides being back on a summer construction schedule with bun knee I got my daughter home from college. She always stirs **** up in the house. She lives in Syracuse and I help pay her rent up there but Next summer I'm paying her full rent and groceries for the 2 summer months IF SHE STAYS THERE! Sons getting ready for college so he's a little more crazy then usual. I feel like kids these days are mentally 5 years behind when I was there age. I was outside my entire life sneaking out the window going out of town to parties but in real world scenarios and these kids live in their bedrooms on their computers and devices. I shouldn't complain too much because he got a full ride for mechanical engineering. But as smart as he is, he's also a complete moron and useless . All the crazy in the house makes my girl crazy and I just become the wallet that everyone yells at during the summer. I used to flip out but I just do my best to keep my cool nowadays. I'm getting beyond the point where I feel like arguing with teenagers.

Beside from all that stuff my dad's Parkinson's is getting really f****** bad. I finally got them to start going back to the class again cuz he's been falling a couple times every day. His speech is getting bad too. It's like listening to a drunk guy who tries to talk too fast tell you a story. Trying to prepare myself for the inevitables coming over the next few years if the next few years come.

Dad's Parkinson's is getting bad too, starting to fall a lot, like almost daily, that amongst a few other things. Trying to prepare for the inevitables.

I think I've hit max capacity and training was the passenger who hopped off the bus.

Worked a crazy ass day today and I needed to get in the gym but I couldn't so I did a little bit of rehab stuff in my backyard we did the garden mowed the lawn for like 45 minutes with a push mower and called that my workout for the day lol.

Literally didn't eat a single bite of food today just ran on coffee and a gallon of water.

Just sitting down at 8:41 p.m. to get my first mail in because that's how the day went lol

Sorry you’re going through so much stress. I feel you on kids staying on their computers and just hanging out in their rooms really doesn’t help prepare them for the real world the way just getting out of the house and experiencing life does. They are exposed to and learn a lot more information quicker than we could obviously just because of technology. But we sharpened our common sense a lot more through actually getting out and doing things and learning from experience. And during their teenage years they tend to not want to listen a lot more than we did because they think they already know. So I feel you on all that brother. Hopefully your knee will start improving and you’ll be able to enjoy the gym again. And this heat hitting so early really has sucked the last few weeks, so man I know it’s got to be rough working outside in it. Hopefully you’ll be able to get some relief from all that. I bet you’re very proud of your kids though for going to college. Your son should do very well in his career. I have a Mechanical and Industrial Engineering degree. The food looks great by the way.

I think more people due to stress or just "f-ing busy" wind up only eating one meal or like myself, drink a protein shake in the am, then realize WTF it's 2:00 pm and only 30g of protein for the day so far.

Hang in there and missing a few g's of protein here or there won't be the end of the world!

Leaving the office at 9:13 pm going to get Chipolte!!!! Your not alone!!

Ya I just get busy and have a lot on my mind and even tho I do get hungry, it's almost like I'm nauseous and nothing sounds good so I keep working. When I get out of work I know I'm not going to the gym because I've had zero food in me for the day, and by the time I eat it's after 8 . I crammed in 3100 by bed tho. I've even been making the overnight oats protein bowls and I can't get myself to eat it in the morning. Just no motivation, I'm jamming at work, I'm jamming when I'm in the garden but everything else I feel lethargic a lot. Last week I threw three of those oats bowls out because they sat too long

No days off in sight, got 2 decks to power wash today and back to the gym for a couple upper body supersets and some knee rehab and light leg work. I'm back under 200lbs again . But it just looks like I've been on a cut. Flat and depleted, kinda lean you know that weird in between stage where you almost look good and you almost look like s*** and you can't quite figure out which one it is . This crispy brown tan definitely helps tho!
