so, i wanna know where to go here, to 'chronic'le my current grow. i am two days from pulling one of six plants. with more to follow soon. shall i just post here for shits and giggles? :D

(guestimated yield: 1 pound, maybe more. all for personal use of course. i am not a dealer)

What else do you expect from Kansas? Civilization is just a border to your left or right...

Kansas : living proof that people from Oklahoma ****ed the buffalo from Colorado.

I'd say we should go burn down Allen Fieldhouse in Lawrence, but it wouldn't change anything...and they probably wouldn't understand the reference anyhow.

Pics are worthless if you aren't going to share, but hey, I'm always up for weed porn.

What strains of weed are you currently smoking?
 

so, i got pics, but am unsure of posting protocol. i will give you some backstory first. i had a good three year run where i didn't have to buy from anyone. then last year for bullshit stupid reasons i ended up down to one plant. looked good for a bit, but turned hermie. i pulled it.



so for the last year i have had to actually pay for my stash. 2400 the last year (aussie dollars).



late last winter, we (my wife and i) thought lets start seed around january (amercian time), inside. we got 12ish sprouts. busted out the desk lamp cfl. bitches stretched and were thin as. finally after wasting so much electric. i tell my wife. lets put what has survived in our top garden, and start fresh from seed on the deck for two weeks, then put in the bottom garden.



so, come may (american time), i had five old as **** seriously lacking sunlight, plants. and four fresh sprouts at the same time.



i am down to three top garden old as **** stunted as **** plants that are eight months old, but surprisingly are producing some really large ****ing colas.



my bottom garden i yanked one plant weeks ago as it was male. i had a total of three bitches come to flower. as i stated before i pulled one of the three the other day because it was leaning and more yellow than the the others (fan leaves). it's currently hanging in the garage to dry. the other two have another two to three weeks to chop. no yellow leaves and deep purple interior bud's.



i can't smoke aussie hydro. i have a theory that the AU government has secretly grown hemp, and put it on the market as pot. the kicker is there are 3 million suckers that still buy it. not to mention the chemicals that make it taste harsher than big tobacco.

there is no such thing as 'kind' bud here due to over regulatory supervision. although this country could benefit due to its consistent environment. if i could get someone to send me a pair of shoes with seeds embedded in the tracks or string beads with a few seeds mixed in, i could revolutionize the pot industry here ROFL

whats the best way to store pot for more than two years?

vacuum sealed in a freezer.

or

vacuum sealed in a dormant refrigerator in a basement room where the temp is less than 18 degrees celcius everyday?

Put it in a bonfire and put it out of its misery if you're storing it for that long. It will be mostly cbn at that point.

Interesting.

Why didn't you train the plants in any way? Techniques like mainlining to increase vascular cambium will only help to increase yield, uptake of nutrients in the same amount of space as a untrained tree. Don't be afraid to lollypop that bitch either. The under growth is just larfy material where it would be better suited to take that energy the plant is using to make that larf, and putting that energy into the tops.

How are they fed? Organic? Mineral based nutrients? Water source and it's PPM numbers? Your environment would greatly benefit organic feeding with a lasagna soil tech with cover crops. Look into it. I think you would be pleasantly surprised with how simple it is

I can't stress this enough with low plant count numbers. Focus on vegging. Top, top, top, and top even more.

Not enough light for a desk lamp cfl.

Look into a inexpensive t5 light help with the stretch. Place as close as you can without causing any heat stress. Place a fan on them to move the stems, which will help with the stop the stretch and harden the plant from seedling to vegetative stage.

Top as the second set of nodes allow you to. This will take you from 1 top to 4 tops. Keep topping as new growth happens. Look up a technique called main lining.


maybe phenotype or just a lack of sun and/or nutrients. :shrug:



Cold temps or genetic?





Good luck with that. Australian postal system is notoriously good at finding seeds. Probably the best in the world. Best luck would probably be Attitude Seedbank out of the UK. You might even have some half ass guarantee available if they don't arrive.

Make Ice water hash, Frenchy Canoli style.

I had some Grape Kush for March Madness. It was good but not amazing. A little dry by the time I got it. I'm more of a sativa guy and this was a 60/40 hybrid.

i knew the desk cfl wouldn't be enough but the wife wanted to try. so i was not surprised by this result, what i am surprised about is that any of them made it this far. not going to do anything that requires additional lighting anymore. i will sprout seeds in the spring and after the last freeze place them in the garden.

i was joking about seeds in shoe tracks, or bead jar. :D

up until this week the temps have been very good, even got a dry summer for once. right now is the time the leaves will start turning on all vegetation.

this grow was too important for me to goof around with. i have done lst training in the past, and next year i will be 'topping' the plant in the garden. its simply a work in progress.

nature fed my plants with a little help of sea sol :thumb:

My only issue with starting seeds outside in the ground is the potential damage done by a variety of issues at that young of a stage. Weather(pun intended) it be a just a unusually cold morning, the bugs, the animals, etc. That isn't even taking into consideration of culling of weak or unstable phenotypes that is a huge requirement to a successful harvest. I think it is always wise in a low plant count situation to start indoors and acclimate to the sun in a methodical manner to not increase any stress or light burn from moving them indoors to outdoors.

Properly training them can easily double yield on the low end. Quadruple if you do it right. FWIW here is the result I am talking about. These are outdoor plants done right.

Glad to hear to were only joking. Importing seeds into Australia is very risky. Better option for you would be to find 2 genotypes you like, select a pheno(mom & dad) from each of those genotypes. Select a male from one using traditional stem rub and abundance of resin. Flower the mom and start spreading pollen around day 10-15 depending on the cultivar. Repeat weekly until about Day 35. Take the plant a little longer than normal to insure seed viability. You will have F1 seeds with all the advantage of being able to find that elite cut. And with proper storage you will have seeds for decades.

If you need any help, don't hesitate to PM me any time your next run. I am all about educating those to be able to take themselves out of a criminal market and be more self sufficient in providing for themselves.

None.

**** you

given my plants are out in open air, how durable is the plant regarding light frosts, IYO?

got down almost to zero last night for a couple hours. the weather for the next week is zero chance of frost. :thumb:

It will stress the plant resulting in stunted growth and yield.

i am within a couple weeks of harvest anyways. my top garden plants seem unaffected, going to check the big moms in a few minutes.

my question was more so, given the massive size of the girls are they more durable during the end stages of flower. :thumb:

Absolutely more durable. I tried drying on the plant once and it took forever for it to die.

But a few hours of frost won't do anything you'd notice. If frost is present on the plant, I'd wash it off with water before the sun hits it and melts it as this can cause cellular damage. Again, nothing you'd really notice, especially this close to harvest. It's a hearty weed. Newbs can model growing tomato's and do well.

technically i am old hat at this growing thing, but still some scenarios i may have waded thru luckily okay, its still nice having trusted reinforcement for different hazards or helps :thumb:

Plants hardiness to cold all depends on a variety of factors, but at the same time you just can't escape the effects of mother nature to dictate the end of a season.

I am guessing you mean 0 Celcius. If it were 0 Farenheit I would say it's over. A plant can survive a few hours in the cold, but repeated dips of dips below 50 degrees Farenheit are going to cause problems. At 50 degrees the plant is going to stop producing flowers, root growth drastically reduces and the plant goes what you can call survival mode. Hermaphrodite nanners can show by continued stress from the cold. Have you checked soil temps?

Do not rinse flowers with water at such a late stage. You would only be inviting bud rott. If it has frost on it, give it a shake or 2 to see it falls off. It it doesn't and a continued cold is expected. Chop, chop. You could cover the plant with plastic during cold dips to help it survive the cold.

yeah, celcius :thumb:

am aware of bud rot and risk of mold as well. the only time the buds get wet is from the rain. had a stretch of precip the last week, but since its been dry. only watered, when i did, at the base of the plant.

haven't checked soil temps as there would be nothing that could be done at this point, but when i had a green house years ago, i did have that ability. (that greenhouse grow was the worst as all it did was rain, and the humidity wrecked about three plants with mold.)

all said, this lot look really good this year. am really stoked about not spending money on shit weed. :D

Some closer shots.



curious as to what methods you use to dry and cure the plant after being trimmed and taken off the stem? :D


Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Dark room with constant attention to temp and humidity levels. Temps should be no higher the 70, no lower than 60. Humidity levels I like to keep right around 50%. A fan to keep air movement in the room, but never directly on the flowers. If you have to add a humidifier, or dehumidifier to keep humidity levels in check. Do it. Much more important than temps IMO.

Off the stem when stem just about to snap which usually takes anywhere from 5-7days from hanging. After the flowers are off the stem they placed in jars, or clean food grade 5 gal. buckets with opening the containers several times a day the first week for a few minutes each time. I will give a light shake to the container to move the flowers around and once a day I will dump all the flowers out and placed back in the jar to just rotate them fully. The 2nd week I will only open the containers for a few minutes each as needed. 3rd week when placed in a container for the long cure I normally will place a Boveda 62 pack just to keep it check.

I'd like to see you with this type of trichrome production next year.

this will be my first year trying to dry/cure three full on females, plus my small 10 year old bonzai's. biggest yield for me ever.

your suggestions regarding drying i am familiar with. the only problem i will have is i will have to empty out my bottom shed to allow the variables necessary for drying. but i can make it work.

if i could get the crystalization you presented in those photo's i would be over the moon.

i will admit, i let the garden overgrown and didn't pay much attention to the weeds and such. i just let things go as they may.

next year i have a huge advantage. not only the greenhouse panels but will be covering the top of the garden with some substrate, will be tilling the soil (adding fertilized mulch from the newly acquired chickens and their enriched soil), and occasional nutrients added. i don't plan to monitor soil temps and ph so to speak, but will be 'aware' of problems. these plants have been care free entirely.

as well i do plan to 'top' the plants next year, per your suggestion.

again, i have to stress, unless i can turn bush weed into kind bud, my seed genetics may hinder me from huge potency.

Drying right on the plant. Nice.

They look great. Will you cure?

yes for sure.

this was just to get it away from the rain we are currently getting. the drops missed the plant by about fifteen minutes.

the healthiest bud of the bunch is two times my bicep. it's glorious :thumb: :D

ETA: due to the success of this years yield, i actually am not prepared in regards to storage after its dried in the shed, to cure. :scratcheshead: :D

Only on day 9 of flower.

Ok question for those who are in the know.

I’ve never had an edible and my wife hasn’t either. My wife hired a new employee and the kid was gracious enough to give her 2 cookies for us both. Tomorrow night we’re smoking a shit load with friends. But I’m used to that. This edible stuff what should I expect?

Do you know how loaded those cookies are? Home made or store bought?

Make sure you have a decent amount of food in your tummy. High fats (burger/fries/milshake) are great meals to go along with edibles because the THC is fat soluble. Better all around experience.

Be ready to be high for about 3 - 4 hours. Typically more of a body experience vs a head high (even if sativa based because of science reasons). It will take about 90 minutes for you to start feeling anything. Don't overindulge... it isn't like alcohol where you can purge and feel better.

Wade in slowly as they take a while to hit. Most edible noobs end up getting way ****ed because they don't think they are getting high to they eat some more. Then bam, it's now an ordeal.

They’re home made cookies. So just make sure to not overdo it, ok.

Should I eat like half the cookie though? There's 2 full cookies. Idk if normally an entire cookie would be too much.

edibles never seem to do much for me...

Anybody ever try Cannadips?

Just got some tombstone og shatter

I ate some brownies a few weeks back, and followed with a gummy. Took like 3 hours for the brownies to hit and then it was WAY more than I’d ever want. Really didn’t like not having control of myself.

1 gummy for me is about perfect. Super chill, relaxed and not flying through space.

Missouri you have 3 different measures relating to cannabis for your votes.
Do a girl a solid, yah? Vote for flowers and butterflies and veterans.
I'll trade you a Trump vote.
I won't physically cast it or anything but I'll let my kid fill out an absentee.

Deal.

Picked up a couple cans!

Where do you guys get your seeds from and is it legal to get seeds shipped to you?

That's a great idea! Was it so u could keep the K9 unit busy while getting searched? Haha

Where do you get seeds:

Many shops sell regular seeds as well as feminized seeds. You can also order them online from sites in the Netherlands like ttps://www.nirvanashop.com/24-marijuana-seeds/. They will ship it discreetly directly to your home BUT

Is it legal to get seeds shipped to you?

**** NO

So I got this vape called "Supreme" Its supposedly OG Kush. Tried searching it online cant find much

I've found those vape things are usually whatever + flavored CBD oil/glycol.

So bunk shit?

Any ideas on which weed company one should invest in?

Why is CBD banned?
 

Is anybody else outraged at the fact that CBD or cannabidiol extract is banned in the USA?:cuss:

In spite of a number of conclusive research conducted in the domain of CBD and its numerous health benefits why is the government still hell-bent on banning this?

Is it because this cheap and effective medicine will overthrow the capitalistic regime of big pharma companies?

Who here agrees with me that CBD should be legalized for medical purposes? Medicinal marijuana didn't hurt nobody...:shake:

I'm gonna have to sit out for awhile.

Got some stuff from Oregon and I probably only smoke a few times a month. This was intense the best way to describe it is like this: you know when you're at a gas station you pay inside you make it to the door and your brain is like cool I just paid. It takes your brain like milliseconds to process information... I was so stoned I'd do shit and it would take a ****ing minute for me to process it. People were talking to me and I'd respond but couldnt really comprehended what was going on. I couldn't even focus for more than a few seconds.

Then my ****ing fight or flight kicked in. It was all bad for 3 hours. Depersonalization like a mother ****er. I was a little off the next day.

So yeah im a pussy but god damn that was intense.

A little Gelato and Passion fruit in the morning before the grind.

When I was in CT a few months ago I got an O.Pen and bought a cartridge and actually took it on the plane on my flight back. Just separated the cartridge and the pen and put it in my checked bag. Guy I know said he took it in his carry on with no issues but I didn't feel that bold and brave.

If it wasnt the biggest game in my lifetime I'd take one but I'm not going to risk ****ing this up lol

I tried that once at a theme park. Didn't work.

Not bunk, just diluted and not worth what you pay for them, imo. I get the refillable cartridges, you can buy CBD oil from Sacred Leaf legally, then mix your own. I go CBD only these days, but I'm a 'cook my own steak' kind of guy, so I like to know what I'm putting in the cartridge.

Because you should have left it in the car?

How do you mix the CBD oil in with vape juice? Ratios? I've bought vape juice that had CBD in it but I've always wanted to mix my own with the flavors that I like.

I was a ****ing nervous wreck going through security. I kept waiting for a TSA agent to be like "Come with me, sir." I imagine it also helped that I broke it down and kept them in separate parts of my bag, plus it was in my checked baggage. Or maybe I got a TSA agent who didn't give a **** that day :shrug:

No TSA agent fives a ****. Especially in the now-legal states. I have friends that fly pounds in and out of airports across the USA. They just stuff 'em in their bags, all vacced sealed up.

I've read about this. Also sounds like it's easy to do in the mail if its under a few grams.

I wouldn't ever send drugs in the mail. It's a ****ing federal crime.

Any thoughts?

The ratio is up to you, but if you're mixing CBD and THC concentrate, I'd go at least 50/50, then just adjust from there to your tastes/needs.

Well what I'm asking is.....is it just as simple as taking CBD oil and mixing it with regular vape juice?

Like if I have a bottle of 250 mg CBD oil.....do I just take that entire thing and mix it with a 60 mg bottle of vape juice....and then vape that?

What's the fun in that? My friend snuck one in anyway so it's all good.

I'm sitting in seat 10D at gate C02 on my way from Des Moines on my way to Detroit as I make my way home to Phoenix. I have my vape pen and am high af. Sour Deisel is what I have chosen.

I need some ****ing water though. In a real bad way

I have notified the local authorities

Awesome. They can get me off this plane THAT STILL HASN'T TAKEN OFF YET.

I wouldn't. I would just buy some full spectrum, high terp CBD oil and vape that. I wouldn't mix in anything to to adulterated it; the CBD will have a flavor, depending on the strain. But I wouldn't adulterate it at all, in that case.

Hitting a mighty with some kush as we speak.
