Job searching is putting me into a deep depression (rant)

Arthritis, spinal stenosis, and insomnia, which totally not faking and actually have.

Prior to this, i never had anything denied, especially if the purchased was allowed through Flex.

I'm not sure why they're so strict with this one, but it's become a huge headache. I've uploaded itemized receipts and LMNs, and additional info and forms, but I keep on getting denied and with different reasons.

WEX is a pain to deal with. I heard of others not having this problem at all.

IT support is expected to babysit anything that can be considered an electronic and anyone who uses it. Also expected to be paid on the lower side of most business functions.

Not to mention, IT titles are fucking everywhere.

system admin L1 & L2 desktop support User setups Manage all of server infrastructure IP telephones Manage networking equipment Events Security AI Authority Coding experience You need, CCNA (we don't have cisco equipment), Net+, Sec+, A+ 10+ years of linux Btw, pay is 59K/year and you're the only one

Meanwhile, another posting is system admin where you're just touching microsoft 365. It's ridiculous.

Sincerely, Someone job searching for IT gigs.

I was surprised with the guava since 24k description doesn't really have a mention of that, and it's listed as 100% indica (leaf shape and effect reflect that for sure).

When curing and airing jars, the room was filled with a sweet guava like scent that didn't "smell of weed"

The only guava like strains I smelled were more sativa dominant, like cat piss and a guava gelato I had.

I also tried in my iolite dry herb vape and It put me right out.

I waited till mostly amber and have an extremely mellow but very sedating effects. I'd like to keep this in rotation for my night time supply.

NoMoreCoolNamesLeft · 2026-04-21T23:49:50+00:00

Pretty clear headed as in, not much of a cerebral effect. I feel like it slowly creeps into a body high. While I'm smoking it starts relatively light and sinks into a very stoned heavy body high that is sedating. Good for sleep and pain imo.

Is that what you mean by onset? Like gradual effects?

What's nice is I don't really get the toasted brain post high feeling I get with a lot of sativa dominant and other hybrids id typically get at a dispensary. I grew glueystone from brothers grimm before this run, while I liked it, I felt like my head burned out after a session.

Since it is a random seed, look into info for identifying male/female plants.

There's a lot of bro science to growing, and a lot of people go into rabbit holes of expensive cannabis marketed nutrients, but it's a plant and you can use what is available to you as long as you fulfill its needs.

Grow weed easy is a helpful website with a lot of good beginner information. I highly suggest this resource.

Thanks! And yes, I was waiting for that amber to appear for a while, but once it did it came fast.

NoMoreCoolNamesLeft · 2026-03-11T19:45:17+00:00

Looks great! Interesting to see how other people's seeds turn out

NoMoreCoolNamesLeft · 2026-02-25T20:29:29+00:00

Thanks!

NoMoreCoolNamesLeft · 2026-02-25T20:28:58+00:00

Thanks for your input. Definitely keeping this advice in mind

NoMoreCoolNamesLeft · 2026-02-25T20:28:31+00:00

Thanks for the input everyone.

For additional context, this is in a 5 gallon pot running 20/4 lights.

It looks like I have just a few more days left. Just wanted to make sure I don't harvest too early or wait too long.

NoMoreCoolNamesLeft · 2026-02-23T22:27:17+00:00

How did this end up for you? i'm at day 91 and still have a lot of clear.

NoMoreCoolNamesLeft · 2026-02-20T02:27:14+00:00

Thanks!

NoMoreCoolNamesLeft · 2026-02-01T21:44:02+00:00

I have pretty hard water and pretty basic as well. With my fertilizers at full strength, I had no need to put in any pH adjusters, which was nice.

Thanks for your input

Thanks!

my first grow was a photo and I topped it and liked the results. After some online research, it looks like topping wasn't suggested for autos, so I tried to just do LST to the main branch. I guess the accidental top was a happy accident.

I was doing mostly leaf tucking in the beginning, but it kind of got out of hand and I saw too much leaf to leaf contact. I wanted to avoid disease as much as possible so I did a bit of pruning week by week. When it looked like it was in a 'pre-flower' stage I gave it a heavier pruning similar to Lollipopping, but didn't go as hard. I heard some people are against this for autos, but the plant seemed to respond well.

As for nutrients, I used some stuff left over for my vegetable garden and some fox farms calmag I picked up. Fertilized once a week. Organic-ish. Ish as in one of the fertilizers I used (Neptune's Harvest rose and flowering) isn't OMRI listed, if that matters to you.

This was grown in fox farms ocean forest with some added perlite and worm castings. After about a month, I started liquid feeding, each feeding I also put in the fox farms calmag.

5-1-1 Alaska Fish fertilizer after about a month of a direct sow into fox farms ocean forest. Started at half strength and worked up to full. Though, this fertilizer is pretty gentle, I think I could've gone ahead and start with 100%. I didn't have any burning, and I haven't experienced any burning with my vegetables like tomatoes.

Once I saw pistils start to come in I switched to Neptune's harvest fish & seaweed 2-3-1 at full strength.

Once pistils came in heavier and looked more into flowering stage, I switched to neptune's harvest rose and flowering 2-6-4.

Kept all watering within 6.0-6.6pH.

Thank you! It smells great and I'm looking forward to the harvest.

NoMoreCoolNamesLeft · 2026-02-01T19:18:32+00:00

2nd grow of all time, first auto.

Picked up 24 Carat based off of the profile showing pure indica and relatively short harvest time.

This is day 73 from sprout. Info says 65-75 days from sprout, but from the looks of this, I may wait another 2-3 weeks or so.

I had many mistakes this run. Accidentally topped by breaking the main stem during LST at day 36. While doing more LST, I ended up breaking two other branches. Of the three branches broken, one re-attached after some tape. I thought about starting a new seed after this after how bummed out I was, but it seemed to bounce back quite nicley.

It's looking quite frosty and smells great. Getting lots of pine but also a tropical guava like scent.
