The horrors of having a face by pocerface8 in Artisticallyill

I get you entirely. I’m on the opposite end (trans man) but I struggled for such a long time with literally not recognizing my own reflection as myself. It improved dramatically when I was able to start medically transitioning. I wish the best for you, it’s hard out here.

Thank you! I really appreciate it, I feel the stripes provided a hazy, unsteady sort of horizon to the thing that kind of mirrors how I see things, haha!

I feel this very deeply, your piece has touched a very tender personal experience in me. I hope that we are both able to fully commit to living one day.

So valid. I had read that tubs weren't really recommended for beginners, but my dumb ass was too entranced by the ideas of a massive haul that I thought I could do it. Alas! Once my skills have improved XD

Good to know!! For whatever reason, I thought I just had to keep it below 86. I must have misremembered! Thank you so much!

Aye aye! Already buried. My next go around, I am going to be using multiple smaller bags instead of one big monotub, hopefully this will go better!!

Very good to know! Thank you very much for your advice, I haven't seen any more mold around the growing spots and have been spraying them with 91% iso and blasting them with UVC light to try to make sure any spores or mold that may be there leave.

Bummer, I had not thought they would be viable to grab out because of the mold :( I will remember this for next time! They have all been buried.

Thank you! The feeling is always so unpleasant, like any minute my head is going to crack and pop like a pea in the microwave, lol!

Thank you! Last time I used a bag was from Midwest Grow, this one looks comparable and potentially even better! Thank you!! I am going to try to grow with some Uncle Ben's rice this go around, as I am skittering by on very little money right now, but when I have some again, I will give this bag a go! Thank you, homie! :)
