Sacred Plant Warrior

adios folks. it was fun shooting the shit about all this fantasy stuff. forced retirement has me feeling somber but chill. love you all and maybe we'll meet again. thx Sannie, and gang.

my assessment of the BLG southeast Asian cure is disappointing. it was only marginally better than a typical 2-3 mth cure. really smoother taste though and the complexity of the taste and aroma changed as well for the better imho but nothing to compare it too yet. have not cured the last batch that long= initially 45 DAYS though.

The Staten Island Chem is LOOSE! After a lot of back and forth, I got Stoney to agree to a limited release of the Staten Island Chem x Sour Diesel. If you've been getting these newsletters for a while you've probably heard me mention the Staten Island Chem. I'm not going to tell the whole story because I'll probably f*** it up, but it involves the old New York mob and some guys sent to collect a debt, and the clone was a byproduct of the "collections" process (early 90's if I remember correctly). It was always referred to as a "Chem" and has been closely held ever since. One of the guys from the Chem crew saw the plant and confirmed that it was NOT a chem so it was sent in for Phyllos testing. It turns out that the Staten Island Chem is a PRECURSOR to the Chem (a parent or grandparent, most likely) and is probably closely related to many of the top strains from the last 30 years (the Chems, OG's, Bubbas, Sour Diesels...) This is a VERY COOL strain just because of it's lineage but if that's not enough, it's also the GASSIEST strain either Stoney or myself have ever had. Sooooo... you've got one of the coolest and gassiest strains EVER crossed Stoney's Sour Diesel male. If this cross doesn't arouse a primal need I just don't know what will. Stoney didn't really want to release this cross - he is very possessive over the Staten Island Chem but I persuaded him that the cannabis world needed to try it and he shouldn't horde it all to himself. He's still not entirely convinced but he agreed to let me drop 50 packs to you fine folks. I can assure you that both Stoney and I will be digging through these crosses for a killer keeper or two ourselves. I'm dubbing this cross the Staten Island Diesel and all proceeds are going towards getting me licensed to cultivate, make seeds, and have a nursery in the State of Oklahoma. Packs are $200/10 regular seeds+ $10 shipping and come with two freebie half-packs from the Sour Diesel line. So, the current trend continues to be folks claiming have legit old cultivars of the past. Only most of these folks who have held these cultivars supposedly for years are know to like to make coin via cannabis be it seeds, clones, buds etc. Yet, until they make these announcements seems nobody knows they exist except for them and maybe 1-3 more people max lol. Then because they are so generous to the community they will let us get in on their treasure horded since who knows when and treasure Maybe not. which is how i see it and i'm saying these folks are lying and it's happening with folks we used to trust. i don't trust them anymore. all the Todd McCORMICK and sam the RAT man, Jorge C's fuckery and others who cooperated with LEO we never would have guessed = Neville wtf...

contentment aloha @MrGreenthumb

WELL I WAS SADDENED, but shocked today when looking up topics. I'm not gonna get too excited because some folks may never check back but be cool if they did. i had someone come here too join and waited to become a member then site was like ghost. maybe sannie or a mod will explain. HAPPY BELATED 420 EVERYONE.

For me it comes down to ability to break down quickly in case of emergency. Cost of water and space needed to make it worth using. Tent is 4’x 4’ 6’11” tall only possible in basement if water temps can stay 65-70 max. please tell me the water temp range for octopots. Thx with Hempy, break down can’t be easier than a 2/3 gal bucket and save plants to hide as needed. Even if I need to prune them severely. larf/micro popcorn before and after finger trim. Also trying to clean stuff up to get ready for 420. Already have my drop funds at the ready. i will never buy these raw papers again. They keep going out and they don’t taste good and diminish the taste of the weed smdh. 300 1/4 for $5 pack of tips 1$ 1/2 papers 2$?? So, pissed. Now, I’m just going to go online and order my orange juicy jays like I should have done already. Buddy told me and I was like the price is right. He never mentioned anything negative about them so I guess he likes them. I’m gonna save the 298 papers left and sell to him for 3/4$ Smdh. I’m gonna put up with the 1/2 until my orange legit papers get here. Let me do that now frfr. i didn’t like smoking the glass tip when rolled up like it should be frankly and u have to dig weed out of the tip end when done. i like my method used as a joint holder much better and no pain in the ass rolling either. Bing Bong ha !

Ok, calendar check today Basement bitches Jan 7, flower onset. Chop date Approx March 11-17th @9 weeks plus by March 11th. So next nutes will be reduced to 1 Tbl/3 ltr’s water Approx. For next 12 days then only molasses water the last 9 days. None of the basement BLG’s are fed daily = every other day, up to 3 days based on size of the pots. Bean baby : pollinated January 16, 2022 chop Approx March 27th at 10 weeks after pollination. Note: lights schedule Approx 10-14 so those chop estimates should be golden.

I feel you and can relate. I’m fine with the older mediums used before but my level up key = more aeration, particularly in soils/peat moss mediums. coco is so much more wonderful with less effort and headaches/fluctuations usually.? only hydro special stuff I would consider at this point would be octopots/ auto pots …Hempy is by default preferred since no vacations/need to have a jackass watch them just to be frustrated lol. Yet, folks keep doing it ha.

Yup, the tent is on point and will just get better now. I’m not even going to mention the possible negatives because I know how to prevent both. It’s tough to keep an old Bulldog down who’s not even thinking about quitting the fight. ha

Just thought to myself how many folks back in the day would trash their less than optimally grown plants smdh. Most folks told them it was a big mistake not to keep it, if only to make butter … anyway here’s my first ever defoliation of plants that grew like these. LEDs played a role most def in shaping the plants umbrella like canopy. yes, pics are in reverse with defoliated plants 1st. And how the jungle looked before,

Of course that’s usually on point. But the subtle difference I noticed just by opening the tent later, opened my eyes to very happy plants. They loved the xtra humidity even though I made sure to open the tent to clear out the xtra humidity after a while. i don’t even know the temps as I just go by the comfort zone feel and heat over the canopy etc. dude it’s been a pita to find temperature and humidity combos that are both accurate and economical. Older stuff that fit that bill don’t seem to exist now. been liking at least 4 yrs now smdh. It’s frustrating reading all the crappy product reviews. 75% of recommendations from others have those crappy reviews. Like the growmie stumbled over a legit unit, while most are trash! Ok, so pics of the sad basement girls are closeups mainly. Just thinking of how bad ass they would be if they had higher area temp’s. So, somewhere between mid April to early may should be the temp sweet spot for basement grows. Then I only use a big oscillating fan and one small fan blowing up at the bare 600 hps bulb. pics were slightly adjusted for shadows and brightness basically.

Loved shortbread Lorna doones years ago and was addicted to them. Ijs like my other taste addictions,!I overcame them = the phase just ran its course. Ha

AKbean Brains = 2/3 strains Pure Kush S1’s seed heaven = unfinished budness 420 drop and Black Friday sale = the bakery genetics kendogsmoke hempdepot = unfinished budness Inkognyto this post allows me to stay on track and focussed. already have the attitude of ignoring mucho cool gear I see because of all the variety that’s in the vault which isn’t too old yet. I don’t want or need them all !
