Thank you all for the tips and support. Akstoner, where abouts are you up there? I spent my first eighteen years in the interior. I'll be back up there in the next year or two. Can't wait to get home.
Seamaiden, I will do my best to break things up. It's just that I think in long, drawn out run on sentences so that's how it comes out. I will try.
I do have a stool and sump pump/hose/ wand set up. It did make a world of difference. I would love to do a
sea of green. Unfortunately in Oregon that would make me non compliant. I have my card and one other so I can have 12 mature.
Currently I am remodeling. Trying to spread out the workload. Almost done with the framing and wiring. Two 8Lx9Wx5'10"H bloom rooms with 4k each and a 2k veg room. I'll post pics in the next few days.
Something to note: I spent the last three months mostly horizontal and my back feels great. I was scheduled for surgery in Dec last year. I went by myself, was having a bad day, let fight or flight get the best of me and fled the hospital. I felt kind of silly, little embarrassed. Here I am a month later wondering if I even need the surgery. According to the doc it was really, really bad. I was ordered to bed, no lifting, and here's a few hundred mg's of oxy and morphine a day. Now it seems I just needed rest. Grrrrr!
Smoky503ski, I will try cannadaddies. I am late to the races on this part due to some personal time off. But i am up again and running! I have had a few places chase me to my car after showing them what was in my pocket. Most places seemed like used car lots that lowball all the good guys. A pearls to swine type of situation.
Does anyone know what the taxation is looking like for that scene? I'd like to be a part of the industry doing something I love while helping people and paying taxes.
Off subject, i have some strains im trying to clean up. All of these i carried since about 2002-2003. My brother has been carrying them for me since my life got bumpy with the divorce a few years back. Unfortunately he's got the broad mites. Ive been holding off on bringing them home for lack of wanting to deal with the broads. But I miss my girls and want to preserve them through seeds. I've got a bottle of
avid and some ogbiowar foliar that I'm hoping will clean em up. I have a 4x4 tent in my bedroom for quarantine and can give the first application before bringing them inside. All
avid will be applied outside the house not in the bedroom. My concern is being able to keep them contained to the tent and not letting them find their way to the uninfected garden in the basement. ( i plan to shower and tyvek up before entering the basement) Once the broads are eliminated I plan to chuck a little pollen. Here is a pick of the blue mango male that will be the dad. The females are: og kush, new York city sour diesel, Bobby b's sellwood thunder, my all time favorite frosted flakes and a couple of other oldies I miss. The og and the d have a great story. In 2002 I lived out in canby OR on a Christmas tree farm. One day in early April I woke and could see snow on the peaks of the coastal range. Being the odd fellow I am I grabbed my snowboard and gear and went to find that snow. A few miles down i5 south I picked up a hitch hiker. I told him I didn't really have a destination but could likely take him wherever he needed to be. To shorten this story a little I'll skip to: right about the time im thinking I'm about to get robbed and left naked in the woods we come to a house. He goes inside and gets his friend to meet me. Out walks a medium height crusty looking hippie wearing American flag suspenders and American flag welders cap. He motioned for me to get out of the truck and I approached him. "My friend here tells me you have some medicine" I nodded yes. He asked to see it. Pours out the contents of the film canister in his hand, gives it a peak and a sniff. "Well, it smells real". With that he turned and returned to the building and said come on in. Once inside I about had a premature ejaculation. Wall to wall bongs!!! Multiple lathes and kilns. He had somehow ended up with a bunch of jerome bakers equip after operation pipe dreams took him out. For the next few years I frequented that barn in the coastal range. I would sit and watch him blow and we would talk for hours. He gifted me the d and the og. At that time hardly anybody had heard of either. The og story was that the cut had come directly from snoops grower. Truth or not I don't know or really care. It's a good story.
The sellwood thunder is a cross Bobby b made. It's atf crossed with a strain local to sellwood grown by one of bobbies friends since the late 70's. She's a massive plant with practically no smell for a hard hitting indica.
I don't think anyone here knows the frosted flakes. She's old. At least 30 yrs in cutting form. She saved a friends dads life due to the devastating potency that encouraged a 3 am er visit that turned into an emergency triple by pass. She is the only strain I've had that kills any kind of nausea/diarrhea discomfort. She hasn't been tested yet but she was crossed with an ak-47 cut last year. The plants from that cross are hitting around 28% thc. Canna man farms in Vancouver is running one under the name morning frost or morning ice. So I am expecting the ff mom to test on the high side. Sorry for the book everybody, I don't get out much these days and this is a much needed distraction. Update on the white dog: last night we had a sleep over with the ex wife and the kids. She is so much more comfortable being there with all of us together. Till next time, peace love and hippie poo
. After a divorce i have had some instability but have still managed some grows, just didnt have my head in it. I now have a plan and am super motivated. My little girl wants to go to college in my hometown so i am moving home in a couple years to buy land and build her a cabin to live in while shes attending. I can't do that if I'm not healthy. One of the first steps in recovering my health is growing something to feel good about. I am also currently overhauling my grow space to be disabled friendly. I have back surgery in the near future and need to make sure I can handle my garden with one arm while scooting around on a wheeled mechanics stool with a 10 lb max lifting capacity for about six weeks. If anyone has any tips for making chores easier I'd love to hear about them. Id like to use the making chores easier question as my first post but am still learning about where topics go and all that jazz. I think I'm doing this right, say hi, a little about what you're up to and touch on what projects you have on the burner yah? Future plans: grow some scary strong indicas for myself, find some good seeds for males to put all cutting onlys down to seed. That way I CAN take em with me. It'll be my first seed run. Gonna be a blast!!!! Thanks for all the Info I've picked up over the years. Peace and love to all. Hope you like the pic. It's a landrace afg from hand carried seed.
