Sunroom Grow

[StoneMeadow]

ah those buds are looking good smoke a J and tell us how the high is

In the interest of science I tried my infamous "Sunroom Grow Sensai Early Skunk" last night.

I got in two hits before the coughing fit started, so called it good. (Gotta invest in a vaporizer.) Within about 10-15 minutes I noticed a slight inebriation...akin to finishing a second beer. Not "stoned" or anything incapacitating. Just a mild and pleasant distortion of reality, and I could walk and talk fine. After about half an hour my wife drove us into town on a quick errand. I was glad I wasn't driving, as corners and other cars and objects seemed to alternately come too quickly and sometimes too slowly.

No anxiety or paranoia. No euphoria or silly giggles, either, but I think I'll not smoke if I know I need to ride in the car while under the influence. Maybe a short walk in the pasture would be nice, though. I slept well last night, too, though I forgot to think about how it was affecting the arthritis in my right arm. Maybe that's a good thing...

Thanks for all the encouragement and assistance, friends...it was a very pleasant experience and I look forward to doing it again.

:thumbsup: Good one - in the interest of science lol. Also glad that you didn't drive after it.
Are you going to have a go at cooking with a bit? It's my latest craze currently and have been rounding up recipes. It's a fun alternative to smoking it anyways.
Thanks for doing your growlog right through to the happy end product. I really enjoyed following it and an interesting, and successful change doing it in a sunroom I'll be looking out for your next venture

Thanks for the nice words. I haven't yet tried cooking with it, but have plans to do so and have been collecting recipes.

Here in NorCal mmj costs roughly $300/oz, and I've harvested roughly 2 oz of dried and cured bud so far, with about another oz to go before I reveg them. I figure that the savings from growing my own has paid for every penny I've put into it so far, including the Doctor's fee, potting soil, ferts, clones, electricity, etc. Then I'll reveg my girls for another harvest, so I should be even further ahead when it's all said and done. And I'll log it all here...

The reveg will be interesting to see, thats something I've not tried doing yet. Its sure been well worth your while cost-wise and even more so considering a second round with the same girls. Its good to see your work paying off eh?!

ah thats good to hear man sounds like its some fire buds and yeah man its not good to dive when your stoned so thats good that you were being safe.

yeah its always cheaper to grow your own now days people want to charge you an arm and a leg for good bud when you can grow just as good or better buds at home yourself keep it up bro looking forward to your next grow.

I weighed my second harvest this morning after curing it for two weeks (it's not yet fully "cured" in some opinions, but it IS fully dried out). Anywho, I got 20 more grams, for a running total of 48 grams. I'm going to harvest again today, which I hope will produce another 30-40 grams.

[StoneMeadow]

To wrap up this thread, I ended up with a grand total of 94 grams of Grade-A bud from this grow, plus about 20 grams of kif. Based on my local dispensary prices, that's about $900 worth of bud for $110 in plants, potting soil, electricity, lights and fertilizer. The lights were about $40 themselves, and I continue to use them as light-extenders in my second and third grows (hybrid indoor-outdoor bucket grows). Plus, I used only about half the ferts I bought, so really, I got 94 grams for about $50, or about 50-cents a gram. I call that a success!

:thumbsup: 50 cents a gram?! Yep I'd call that a sucess also lol. Well done. Onward and forward to the next grows
