Drinking from a Cattle Trough

Knocked the dust off of shorty and plugged her up, this turned out to be one of the better ideas I’ve had. Gorilla shorty with shelves and a scrubber View attachment 2529702View attachment 2529703View attachment 2529704

The pressed flower was 75 grams each, apples and bananas won this round

The flower for the oil was a QP each pure Michigan, Skywalker and plum crazy mixed with 2 gl refined oil

There are okie crosses that make awesome rosin, then there’s okie crosses that it’s a waste of flower to press. Chemdog #4 and pure Michigan I won’t be pressing anytime soon, but they are both killer smoke…..just gotta learn the strain I guess
Tried to blow this up so you can see the difference in rosin. A&B gives that fluffy easy to handle wax, PM has that dark shine, sticky AF

Thats crazy the difference in end product! I love the dull waxy look. Don’t get me wrong I love the sticky icky stuff too! : ) there’s just something about that cookie dough look

The wife’s- about come to the conclusion that her light needs to be twice this sizeView attachment 2529687

Cloner- 5 days cutView attachment 2529688
Veg- plum crazy up nextView attachment 2529692
Candy rain / gojo- day 0 preflowerView attachment 2529695
White Runtz- 1 week flower View attachment 2529689

did your wife have any help coming to that conclusion? I'd love if she could talk to my wife and convince her the same.
I showed Mrs Tumble your dining table set up, and that’s how I have my Big Booty Banner in there... now if she could be convinced to add a 300w light, we'd be set

The wife’s- the “dwarf” hollyhocks are on their way out, just not enough light. I did see a new batch of spider mites so I got to try out Captain Jack’s, it lives up to its reputation.
Cloner- pushing 3 weeks, about time to cull a few. I’ve not had Lemon Tree x Okie (LTO) so I’ll be keeping 2 from that line.
Veg- replacements for the wife’s are started. Mothers need to be cloned
Candy Rain x Gojo - flower for a couple days now, flipped 2 weeks ago. I’ve ran death star x gojo, good smoke, not very trainable. This gojo cross bends and twists well enough to run indoors
Whit Runtz x okie- slow to stretch but when she does she fills out nicely. 4 weeks flower
Skywalker x okie- 6 weeks flower. Dropped her down to 750w, as she’ll burn those fans. Flowered several times but this run has the flower boost in it. Will be a good comparison

That’s exactly what I was spraying for, I’ll be spraying for spider mites from my grave. Damn critters

Yes, Captain Jacks did the trick. Thanks @Captspaulding for the advice. I’m a believer in GrowSafe but it comes with sideffects. Now I have 2 weapons against the little bastards

Had the week off work and the plants are on autopilot, I went to the woods while everybody else went to the beach for fall break. It s deer season in these parts, now for now and my blind wasn’t done. Wife came along on the last day even
It is now, what we do for our kiddos they’ll never understand

they may not quite understand it at the time. But im sure they’ll come to appreciate it, and then at some point understand it : )

It’s coming along nicely! Is it ready enough to hunt out of? : ) id totally smoke some weed and chill out in there and shoot some deer from that! badass!

It’s pvc framed. It was a stoner idea, and with the help of a couple mason jars for of bud it was designed and built in the middle of nowhere

Will it last? As long as the light doesn’t hit the pvc it should last a few decades

The wife’s- zinnias and morning glory. Will have some climbers by Christmas
Cloner- 5 days cut. Healthy batch with only one turning their leaves over, it might make it yet
Veg- Plum Crazy will make her return to flower. First plant to harvest in 2026, with Lemon Tree up on deck. Mothers on the back row
Candy Rain/Gojo - close to 2 weeks flower. Nice spread and the stretch is still going
White Runtz- about 5 weeks flower. Pretty plant
Skywalker- 7 weeks and still white haired. Afraid plum crazy might push this one out

I’ve been smoking for decades and I’ve got to say, that bowl right there is the strongest I’ve ever hit.
All learned right here at the Farm from genetics, how to grow hydro and how to process. The info is here, ya just gotta find it.
My buddy and I call this black on green. Apples and bananas for flower, 3 drops RSO from Chemdog #4, and I like to top with yellow (wax) .
Smoke one bowl if ya can,
