Could be worse!

[Shiva]

Ahh! The easy life. Beautiful garden all around, nice warm temp. Perfect humidity. A quiet, loving master. And a good chum sleeping off in the back. Just another perfect day in the life of Omar and Shiva.

Hard to get correct colors under a HPS lamp. Best I could do.

Happy you 3 !!!! I wish you all the best for 2012 Michel!!!! Jean

Thanks Jean. And thanks to you all ST members. It's a privilege to talk to you every day. I hope to be welcomed here for as long as I live.

Mautadine qu'ils sont beaux, ces chats!

Happy new year Michel and cie!

Here's a larger view of the growing room now that the 1000 W HPS is off and the 1000 W MH is on. Colors are much better. The view is about the same at 180°, without the cats. The HPS is on along with a 400 Watts MH on the other side of the room from 4 AM to 1 pm. The large MH comes on at 11h30 AM along with a 400 Watts HPS on the other side and stay on until 6 pm. It's a bit like the sun going from East to West with full lights for 1 and a half hour at noon.

Beautiful companions, Michel! And looks like a "Phraglicious" growing area as well. Wishing you and the rest of our Canadian friends a Happy and Healthy New Year.

About the red wine: do you use it as orchid fetilizer?

Actually "mautadine" is french canadien word that is impossible to translate! The word comes from "maudit", I guess. When we say "maudit (or similar) que c'est beau", "maudit" or "'mautadit" or "mautadine" are used as superlative. That means that it is outstanding!

Hope this help....:wink:

Yes, and there are two cats. The pile of fluff in the background is my Persian called Omar.

 

[Yoyo_Jo]

Ehh, google translator didn't work; I could see both of your lovelies. Would it be "chats" then?

 

[Shiva]

Still cats. One cat, two cats...

A glass of wine, cats, and orchids. What could be better?

Shakti is missing, or not mising, but not mentioned.....
