Well my plants survied their first summer storm it down poured for about an hour. Thanks to the Gypsum Queen and that wonderful qypsum there was no damage what so ever. A friend that is growing in the same complex (that called me crazy for using qypsum) suffered seceral broken kolas due to the extra weight of the rain. He has a different opinion of the use of gypsum now. Thank you again my friend and mentor highcountrygal for your sound advise and totulage. I am grateful that our paths crossed and I had the good sense to listen to your advise. âAll Hail The Qypsum Queenâ @highcountrygal @Happy_Pappy @Mrcrabs @mulegal @raustin

Thank you for your encouragement. And I was getting worried about you Oh Gracious Queen. Yea it down poured for about an hour. I live between two mountains and the clouds kinda pack up between the two and dump on us occasionally. @highcountrygal

Iâm usually up by 4 am and I usually simulate rain fall for about 5 minutes but this morning it poured for at least an hour. Have to admit it was getting sketchy there for a while. But thru the magic of gypsum they did great. Havenât chatted with you in a while how is life treating you? @Mrcrabs
@smitty87 You kind Sir did it I just pointed you in the right direction, you took the initiative and made the choices! hank you for the positive feedback on the gypsum, I donât think many people took me seriously, both of ours stood up to that horrid heat without a missing a beat. Makes for a heck of a strong plant for sure!

You got that right this morning it was Raining like âHell Wouldnât Have itâ and my girls just looked up like is that all you got! And the heat 112 degrees and didnât miss a beat. I guess that you could say that Iâm Hooked on Gypsum (and SpeedyVeg of course). Thanks for the heads up on the gypsum and if they donât want healthy sturdy plants then so be it. In the trades that I worked in as a Mechanic we had a sane, âA Millwright can fix anything but we canât fix Stupidâ I think that covers all the non-gypsum people. (LOL) @highcountrygal

To bad that you couldnât dig a hole to put the bucket in I would have dreaded cutting such a magnificent Plant. @highcountrygal
I have worn this belt for almost 20 years and I believe it is true! A Millwright can fix anything except Stupid.

This morning I have something to report. I took these pics this morning 07/19 and there was a significant amount of growth as you can see by comparing other photos I have posted. The Grape Ape (My Bud of the month soon to be a contender) grew a whopping 4 inches taller yesterday due to the down pour She is too tall to get all of her in the photo she is the tall one next to the condo. And my little guys grew 3 1/2 inches yesterday.
Here is the family photo.
This is one of the Purple Dragons, notice the stab stick (Thanks HGC great tool) I used it to gauge the growth as you can see it is significant this morning.
Thanks for all the kind words and prayers one phrase comes to mind for me âTrust all things in Christ my Lord and saviorâ God Bless each and every one of you!
