[quote=catbuds]Ok... I haven't had a buzz since early summer. Bummer.
We really need some way to get you a care package!! :baggy: Don't work to hard today, it is Xmas. Later
:joint1: you smoke your fatty, I'll just follow along:smokebong: but after this Xmas looks like:vap_smiley:
I got work done xmas day, first time in a while I finished all my tasks on the list. ;) Hoping to do as well today. New growth doing well on the plants, though not as fast as I expected. Taking the sun leaves slowed growth a little. In my space, that's a good thing! Since I've given them a bit more room & raised the lights a little, once growth resumes, it should really take off again, which is fine, cause the cabinet will be running before they outgrow the space again. I'd added nearly 2' more length when I put the longer board under them. Hopefully taking 2 clones ea from them just before putting them in the flowering cabinet, so the extra 2' will make enough room for them. I will be pruning these for a single cola. Should make fat ones, despite the fact that timing will make me have to start 12/12 in the veg closet for the clones. I'll be cloning before I sex them, so I expect to pull a few males, grab the pollen from the best one, & maybe keeping aside a cloning mother. Time will tell. :) :) :)
-- OMB! Where's the bong? Is itvmy hit yet! LOL! ;)
Just foilar fed & lit a couple of candles for co2. They've plumped up since yesterday & are starting to not look so freshly pruned now. Looking pretty good! I know the candles only put out a little co2, but it seems to be enough to make a difference! ;) ;) ;)
I have used miracle grow outdoors for the same reasons Catâ?¦I ameded with compost as you have and also added shitloads of earthworms - I figured the worms would help and they DID!
I bought em at a bait store- 3 containers per little plot where miracle gro was used...
I'd been using the same seed store for years for my veg & flower garden stuff. I kept rubbing it in that he carried no 'special' grow supplies (especially since he grows herb), so now he does! He even started carrying my favorite commercial mix that I use for a base, pro-mix, so now I'll never again have miracle gro anywhere on my property! Pro mix standard, pH adjusted spaghnum moss & perlite. Pro mix organic is awesome, comparable to happy frog, cheaper! :):stoned:
Leaf material makes AMAZING tincture made the same way as green dragon with the following exceptions :
Decarb it for an hour after it is dried in a closed container - them let cool while still covered.
Cook it in 100 proof ( or highest you can get) for about 8 hours keeping it under 150 degrees in a wet bath- yes I have had to stop and restart this process and it was no issue.
This gives you appx. 2 ounces of a dark green liquid that a couple of droppers gives you the body buzz - the one that has the most impact on physical pain. I use a few droppers every few hours - this tincture lasts until it's time to trim again and is also the BEST anti inflammatory I have ever used…tastes good too - did you know that prepared properly cannabis leaves actually taste like perfume?
Here Mama...Stop typing, it's your hit. ;) More good info gleaned from Mama catbuds....I need to get some (good) planting medium today to repot my babies, thanks for the cheaper alternative to FF's Mama!Quote:

We need some pics Mama!
As much as she likes to type, I still think there's a book there. :weedpoke:
Ranger, actually I have written a couple books. The best one was called Mother of the wolves, back in the early 80's. Made me about $15, 000 which wasn't bad back then. Not for an unknown author. I'd write letters to 'ask Ed', & about 40-50% would be published as articles. I think I'd received everything free they had to offer to people who submitted stuff. I had all the Ed &Frank books. Wore my High Times t-shirt so long, you could read the paper through it! High Times hasn't been the same since Ed Rosental left. Canceled my subscription. I did get the one a few years back that had the announcement of Chef Ra's death. That was so sad. I really liked him!
-- either my tolerance is really low, or these are the best leaves I've ever smoked. Three days of smoking them & I'm still getting high as a kite! Kinda sweet tasting for leaf. No harshness or bitterness. Thats telling me I should get some really sweet bud! God I can't wait! Hoping they need one more good trimming before budding kicks into overdrive. As fast as they branch & beef, I'm hoping that's an indication they flower the same way; fat, dence & fast! ;) ;) ;) ;) ;)
Rain, rain, rain. All day long. If I see anymore phreaking rain, I'll turn into a dead phucking phish & phloat away! (Carried away with the ph's? Before retiring as a photog, my studio name was 'Photo Phantasy'). LOL! Plants looking good. Still haven't picked up the speed they had before thinning, but it picks up a bit more every day. Three of them must be male. Phenomenal stem stretch as soon as they were pruned (males often do that, sometimes not so noticeably). I've also noticed with some strains, males often do this just before pre-flower. Nice strong thick stems, so breeders regardless of sex. After giving them their first feeding at recommended strength (been going 1/2 strength half as often as recommended), I saw a touch of nute burn. Just a touch, so no biggie. I did a plain water flush stopping it in its tracks. It only showed slightly on two leaves of two plants. Transplanting in a day or two. I'm sure growth speed will kick in big time shortly there after.
-- On marijuana strains, 'Unknown Philippine strain' is a pic of the most pure sativa I've ever seen. I'm betting its a Philippine landrace, or VERY old import. Guy wants help identifying it, so it would be great if some of you sativa lovers would hop over & take a look! :) :) :)
