thats a lot of meat! i did a larger BBQ once, seemed like a good idea at the time to volunteer
I hear you on needing a good reason to do something of that size, it’s not like a friday night tri tip on the back porch or couple butts in the driveway on Sunday! enjoy!

Temps broke around here this weekend after a hot wet summer. Sorry to hear about you west coast folks

Trying to wrap up projects so I can get to that pile of okie. Speaking of okie, when Chemdog #4 hermied after an incredible run I deseedeed, decarbed, soaked in Everclear and it’s been on the shelf since.

Close to 850ml to evaporate, it’s cooled down in the shop but I’ve got ac in here

It's been about 15 years since I've done a grow diary here so I figured it was time to update things. Like a lot of my fellow growers here I'm getting old and my health isn't good. Ruptured disk etc. found myself getting way fat and taking a handful of meds. Something had to change.

I had a room in my detached garage that was not being utilized so I decided it was time. I designed and built what works for me, it's antiquated to say the least. Low tech would be an understatement.

These hollyhocks are the “dwarf” version so maybe, possibly still flowering at Christmas.

Apples and bananas rock my friend. I had forgotten the true reason for the summer slow down, a blown ballast. Put white Runtz into flower and had to borrow a ballast. A&B is at 10.5 from flip so I’m gonna let it ride for a few more days borrowing light

White Runtz x okie- day 0

Tinkering around this morning with some cured wax from last winter. Gel caps is the goal. Last round was a 10:1 ratio, coconut oil ml, wax grams
This batch is 6:1. It’s too hot still for the caps and my fingers so it’ll sit for a bit. I get a solid 8 hours sleep with these so it’s worth the effort

Here’s a link to a topic I find important. More so as I grow older and this generation grows up not being able to experience the things I think are important.

Our kids need your help

I’m visiting my one of our high school biology teachers this week, she was really excited to tell me about the new teaching method she is introducing to her classes; self sufficiency! She is most proud of the nft system and tower she bought herself for the class. Her overall goal is to take the...

The wife’s- hollyhocks off to a good start
Cloner- 14 days cut and they are rooted. 10/12. As long as I get 2 of the flowering line and one of the other three lines it’s a successful run. Built it with a huge fudge factor
Veg- candy rain/ gojo up next to flower, mothers in back

White Runtz/okie- 8 days pre flower. Just now getting her stretch on
Skywalker- 2 weeks flower plus 10 pre flower stretch should be wrapping up
Apples and Bananas- 10 weeks flower

Apples and Bananas x Okie

Round 2 for this line and she’ll be back around for sure. 11.5 weeks from flip so she’s a slow gal to harvest.
