making gains isn't always easy

Welcome to the 61^st weekly installment of my series on Steem income and growth!

Income on the Steem blockchain is generated by "investment" (the more currency you have, the more you earn) and by "work" (earning currency by contributing content that adds value). All my crypto holdings are in the Steem currency. Now I'm working to earn more, by uploading unique valuable content to the blockchain.

Calculating weekly income

Considering income from accounts that I own, that my wife owns, and group projects using our funds (currently Hive account@drutter, Hive account@medikatie, Hive account@greatesteem, Hive account@hempy, Hive account@girlsofgreen, Hive account@sativazeee, & Hive account@vantocan), here's the running tally:

Average weekly growth (last 10 weeks): +16.6 Steem (+1.07%)

It was an average week, which isn't bad considering @MediKatie and I have been dealing with a couple major personal issues.

If all my SP were in one Steem account, I'd be the 5360^{th richest. I look forward to breaking into the top 5000 soon.}

That's 1 of my 6 Super Skunk plants today. They're 73 days old, from seeds. After being swindled out of 50 bucks worth of shit a few weeks ago, I managed to find some proper nutrients for the plants, and they're recovering now.

Within a week I'll 'flip' them into flowering (reproductive) cycle by increasing their darkness to 12 hours per day, from the current 4. I can already tell they're going to be dank and sticky flowers.

A big payout (for my "Curing Cancer with Poo" post) will show up on next week's tally. Thanks, @Curie!

Those are my top 10 supporters, by total upvotes in the past week. :)

Thank you to all creating and curating good content on the blockchain.
