Hell yeah! That looks badass. I like the laser engraving attachment too. I'd be engraving all my stuff for days lol. Hopefully the price will come down some in the future. Hope you had a nice holiday. We decided (my wife did :\) not to make a turkey this year. We had some great pot roast, but I kinda missed the turkey. I'm really enjoying this 4 day weekend. I haven't had one in quite a while working in the casino. Your little heater setup looks cool. Hopefully it keeps the temp pretty constant. I'm gonna harvest my girls next friday and flip the next batch. It's gonna be cowboy kush (hells angels kush x stardawg) and thug life (triple og x extreme og). I also have a cut of my cookies n chem I may grow out but haven't made up my mind yet. Hopefully one of these will be a special one. Something in that veg box is smelling great already! I've got three carbon filters working 24-7 and my house still smells pretty strong. Luckily my wife seems to have gotten used to it and isn't complaining lol.

Oooo, sounds real nice. I want to build my grow room so bad but I keep having other things come up. I've been inspired by your setup over and over again. It's cool to have watched morph from a chicken coop to it's current incarnation. Your about the most active indoor grower I've seen on here and I hope by this time next year to be right there with ya +solar. Then maybe I can inspire you, haha.

Two marriages have taught me to watch for signs of discontent in unrelated areas. If she's acting pissy, or even worse, uncharacteristically overly nice, you'd better fix that sh*t, hahaha. The over nice one is great if you catch it in time cause it'll get even better if you do, but don't, and you'll realise what "double down" really means, lol.

After my first harvest I found trading in nuggs ain't so easy no more. I learned how to make some concentrates but the market is pretty saturated there as well. One thing I am really good at is making food and drinks and I saw this weed cooking challenge show on Netflix. A lot of the contestants said they were chefs who did cannabis service for people in home. I have years of professional cooking and light bartending experience. My niche is making roadhouse style food for drunk people, but I also know Korean BBQ (my step-mom was a country Korean who taught me how to cook from scratch), some French-Vietnamese Pho, Chinese, Mexican, Southern comfort, etc... Want to learn Mediterranean/Middle-Eastern pastries next, yummm). Maybe I can do this same thing but less extravagant and much cheaper. I've been building up a set of small kitchen equipment like waffle iron, bread maker, double boiler, deep fryer, etc... I can bring joints and concentrates for when they're waiting for tabletop fried edibles like doughnuts and corn fritters or standard munchibles to go with their buzz. I mean, who wants to have everything they eat make them hungrier? I can do full service with edibles and regular food.

I'm starting to reconnect with old friends so all I'll need to do is a couple of giggs then word will get around for birthdays, sports get-togethers, poker nights, or just Friday night parties.

Sh*t, this could work. I still need a single burner Camp Chef stove for my iron grill cause my double is too hard to transport.

Testing out the new fryer. Anyone whose ever worked on a Cali construction site knows these. They suuuuck... until you drop them in a deep fryer. Then they're super munchible. hehehe.

I'll be making homemade fried burritos this week to test one of my new recipes on my cousins.

That’s awesome bro. You definately know your way around a kitchen. My mom is Korean. I miss her cooking. Was spoiled with it growing up. I could go for some denjong soup and yakimandos. Not sure if I spelled those correctly. Hehe.

The chicken coop is gonna be cool next year if I can keep the thrips under control. I also noticed that it gets a little too hot in there so I may set up some permanent shade cloth on there. You've got some obstacles to overcome, but that's part of the fun is figuring these things out right? I'm thinking the hardest part is finding good cuts. I can grow plants that look healthy the whole way (at least to my partially trained eyes) but I still haven't found the one that is where I think it needs to be. If I go buy clones I know it's just gonna be the same shit I could do myself. They buy the same seeds I can and make clones from them. I think the pheno I'm looking for is rare and I need to find someone that has it already so I can quit wasting my time looking. I tried to order from Dark Heart, but they wouldn't sell to me. :drunk: I may enentually have to drive my ass up there.

This is my 2nd marraige too and I have to say that the difference between the two is like night and day. I got really lucky this time and the good lord sent me a good one lol. She generally lets me know when she is unhappy which can be annoying, but it's better than letting it fester and doing things behind my back to get even.

I feel ya, don't know how to spell most of it. I don't know those dishes unless I'm not getting the phonics right. My teenage years it was mostly bolgolgi, kimchi, dabuki (not sure if I got that last one right). Most of it I don't even know if it has named like, salty fish was just "salty fish", and chilled pig tongue, red bean paste, etc...

Is your mom country or city. Makes a big difference. My step-mom was from outside Pusan.

Is Dark Heart a breeder for dispensary beans or they a nugg grower only? Don't generally sell beans?

Yup, first marriage I wasn't mature enough for, second carried too much baggage from her abusive first. I'm much happier by myself. But who knows, not completely against again but very unlikely. I like my sh*t the way it is and don't have any interest in changing. If I come across a rare bird who can accept that then, maybe, but I'm picky as f*** nowadays. So probably not. Hehe

Farmer P · Nov 24, 2018

I think they just sell clones. They are somewhere in the SF area, would be quite a drive for me. I don't know if their clones are from seeds they srpouted or if they have clone only strains, but the clone only's are what I'm after.

The Idunnoes took a pounding from 3 days of rain but other than being soaked through, look great.

Test loaf. Looks like I'm gonna have to adjust for altitude. Wanna get it dialed and make some canna butter from kief this week for cinnamon or some other sweet bread.

Looks pretty good. I'd cut off a slice and toast it then spread some cannabutter on it! mmmm
I also love cinnamon raisin bread. That stuff smells so good when it's being toasted.

Whats up with that plant? Is it still ripening up or do you want to see how long you can take it? I would definately cut it before the first frost. That mean frost last year did some damage to my avacado and citrus trees. They recovered ok though. The avacado is jamming. Technically it's not supposed to be grown in this area because of the possibility of heavy frost, but I've seen plenty of them growing around town. I've thought about getting a smudge pot just in case. The guy at the nursery said if it's going to freeze to wet the whole area around the tree real good the day before which will cause the ground to soak up more heat during the day and give it off all night.

It appears to still be ripening. It's not developed enough to harvest so cutting it right now would be pointless. I never held out much hope for it to turn out. If it does it's a bonus. If it doesn't, no love lost. I have no idea why she was over a month behind the others. She was started at the same time and was fed mostly the same. If you know a way for me coerce her into finishing faster I'll try it. As long as it doesn't cost me much.

I'm not sure, but it seems like cutting out the nutes helps with that. When I cut the nutes way back it seems to make the hairs start turning. I don't know if it makes the trichs amber up too. I usually just go by the hairs. I read somewhere when the hairs are 25 percent turned start giving pure water till the end. I probably harvest too early, but I think I prefer the more uppity high.

Haven't fed her in almost 2 weeks. Hopefully that works.

Grow Log 11/26/18 (tent)

They're really holding up well to the low temps now that they're not K deficient. I thought the pollen nuts would crack by now. I guess it's a good thing. More flowers will be developed by the time they release. I stopped the colloidal silver applications a few days ago when I realised I'd done them almost a month and a half and the varying instructions I've read said 10-21 days. I'll start again, maybe it'll make the pods open more quickly (probably not but won't hurt).

I know people say not to smoke colloidal silver treated plants, but I have yet to see any scientific evidence to back up that claim. Even if it were true, the untreated branches should be perfectly safe because the silver is not mobile. That Chocolate Nepal is likely one of a kind. I won't smoke the treated branches but there is no way I'm throwing away perfectly good unicorn bud.

Is your mom country or city. Makes a big difference. My step-mom was from outside Pusan.

My mom grew up just outside of Seoul but her family is all in Seoul now. Lots of aunt, uncles and cousins went I went there in 1990. Denjgong soup is a maroon red paste soup made from soy bean sprouts I believe. It often had tofu and vegetables in it. Yakimandu was a Korean egg roll. My mom made them with ground beef and they were amazing.

Could just be that I don't remember. It's been at least 25yrs and my teens and early 20's were kind of a blur. Grandma was a crack up. Wherever she stayed, the lawn was perfect. Whoever's house she was at she'd be out squatting in the yard picking weeds all day. We had a one acre lawn and it looked like a putting green. She'd kick me under the table at dinner and sneak me cigarettes. When they'd catch her she'd just laugh and no one would say sh*t to her.

JWM2 · Nov 26, 2018

Yeah asians love their cigarettes, haha. All my aunts and uncles smoked. I was too young at the time. Got my first sip of beer there though. My uncle gave me a sip of OB beer when I was 12. Good times. Tasted like shit though. HAHA.

Idunnoes, I dunno what to even make of this...

Almost looks like a reveg, but I'm pretty certain it's not. Just some weird mutant strain. Late blooming with tiny bracts. I'll give it this, it stinks! Very diesely terps.

From what I observed of the preflowers it looks like it's beginning the swell. I'm not sure if I'll be able to tell when it's ready.

WhtChocolate · Nov 26, 2018

Lookin good bro!
Are these the same idunno’s from your earlier harvest? Still going?!?!
Hope all is well

Thanks.

Yup, still going.

Just got the bottle of SeaGreen from Primordial Solutions. Can't think of better test subjects under sh*t conditions than the girls in my cold tent grow. It hasn't been near as cold since the storms rolled in, but still, a good measure of what this stuff can do.

You're gonna love it. I just ordered a bottle a couple weeks ago (16oz) as my trial 2 oz bottle is now almost gone. You'll see results immediately.
