Sour Grape...ala' BOG

[Max Frost]

Beautiful horse! (Mrs. BOG ain't lookin' bad herself)! ;) What's up with donkeys? I've never known the difference between a mule, donkey & burrow. A friend was explaining to me, so now I kinda get it. Aren't mules a donkey x horse? Also heard they are all "fem" versions! lmao.

My father used to play polo and kept several horses. Unfortunately, he didn't have them until I had already left the nest, so I didn't grow up with them. I know I've never seen a man so beaten & bruised as after one of his weekend matches, tho. WOW!! :blackeye: He was part of some team in FL. When he'd return he looked like 5 lbs of hamburger in a 2 lb sack! Those boys must play rough! I know he had a roan of some type and some arabians. They were all beautiful and very sweet. I kept a box of sugar cubes in my car and whenever I'd come over (which was almost everyday for dinner back then...lol) the horses all recognized my car and ran to meet me at the gate. I couldn't pass until each got a sugar cube (or 2). It got to where I started carrying a sack of sweet feed in the back! haha! I loved them. I've smoked many a joint feeding, talking to and petting them. They're great to hang out with even if you don't ride!!

I grew up riding dirt bikes and even raced motocross back in the day a time or two, but I've only ridden horses a couple of times in my life. I understand your trepidation Myco, but as long as you let them feel YOU are in control...you're fine! I think it just scares them when they have a rider who is giving off airs of fear instead of confidence. Find the right horse though and you'll be fine. Some are VERY tolerant and forgiving and gentle. Just get a good, gentle one for your first ride and you'll gain confidence. Then you can go for breaking the stallion! haha!

Very nice Mr. & Mrs. BOG! Looks like you have a great place and a peaceful, serene lifestyle! That's my dream as well and I'm working hard toward achieving it someday. I just want a small place with some land and water, animals, nice food garden (and my meds garden of course), and just live and let live in a peaceful, serene place you can truly call "home"! Best, -Max

Polo is tough on horses and riders. We came down from Montana with our horses when we moved to California. We brought our clones too.

Now we are as content as Drifter is with the group of horses he bosses around.

Can you imagine the days not so long ago when everyone needed horses? Think of how much you need to trust an animal that size around your kids.

We no longer realize just how much effort in breeding and training was made. Over many centuries people bred horses to provide a vital service. People wanted horses to be machines so they started nailing metal shoes on their hooves. :(

Our horse wears no shoes and his feet are healthy hoofed in great condition. If you keep horses look into Holistic Hoof Care.

Dogs and horses are awesome products of human intention. Biological units we are.

A project of the aliens.

What do you find is the best way to move plants? In one particular case, it could be a few days or even a week or longer until things would be set up and ready for them. Do you have any advice or tips? Thanks in advance! Max

I put them in a big box and throw them in a truck...;)

It was a two day trip and they made it fine. I brought just rooted clones and it was a long time ago but I didn't put a light in the box. I guess I just gave them some light riding in the back seat.

They vegged normally after the trip and they didn't suffer really. My clones are like my pets...they are happy just to be with me for a ride.

My advice is to watch temperatures in the box and consider a led light to keep them out of the dark for too long.

 

[barefoot]

had few Paso Finos....smooth riders ...trail worthy.......one great quarter horse.....called him Scout......

kids older I'm done with........got five acres, but not enough and feed is crazy high w/drought......

maybe a dog crate with one of those sticky lights inside and a cover for clone movin'.....

ganj on.....

@Max Frost - a mule is the product of a female horse x male donkey indeed. But, the product of a female donkey x male horse is called a 'Hinny'. I'm not 100% sure of the physical difference... And nope not all mules are 'fems'... but it's very rare for a mule to reproduce from what I understand, that may be what you're thinking of.

I'm not sure why I know that. Possibly from my Biology education in high school or college, I only remember bits here 'n there.

And yeah I feel you about them sensing fear or confidence. Just like dogs! But I've never had a bad experience with a horse personally. But I do recall growing up in upstate New York, we had a one-room school house sort of thing for preschool/elementary (and no, I'm not that old, just a very sparsely populated area LOL), and while in kindergarten we had some locals bring in some horses/ponies on the last day of school. I honestly don't think I rode one, but some other kids did and they'd put the kid up on the horse/pony and just kind of walk/lead the animal around. Well, one of the animals freaked out with this little human on top of it, reared up, thew the kid off the saddle, and the poor little guy ended up getting slightly trampled...

That childhood experience may have burned some fear of riding horses into my conscience...

Racing moto-x is a entirely different animal than what I've ever done... I've been more into sportbikes than anything, only ridden a dirtbike a few times. Honestly, you moto-x guys are fucking crazy.

And doesn't BOG sure have it made? A little piece of paradise in NorCal, enjoying the country and growing/breeding cannabis. Someday I wouldn't mind living on the northern CA coast, the redwood forest and that general area gives off the best vibes I've ever felt while touring the country. Maybe it's also the amazing cannabis, friendly hippies, and fucking massive redwoods that make you feel like you're a part of Alice & Wonderland LOL. Next time I'm in NorCal I need to check out this place:

I'm not sure how I never knew Fern Canyon ^^^ existed, being as how I've been to that national park several times...




Okay so... Sour Grape? Has anybody else finished off some SG ladies that they have to share? I ended up with one pheno that was a seriously MASSIVE yielder. I thought I had some pics but I can't seem to find them... certainly grapey as advertised, good level of resin. But I didn't find a true keeper out of my small pool of phenos. For some reason I can't find any SG pics... wtf... It's a strain I definitely would run again though.

Cheers.

You know me max depending if their cuttings or small plants maybe this might help ....

It's like $8.00 and could be used to provide the 24 hours for veg till battery runs out.
Just hot glue it to the top of the box and WHAMO .... just an idea Brother...
:)

Heh-heh...gotta love your style bro!! :cigar: And I have NO DOUBT that is true about yours being happy just to be with you! You and your plants sure seem to be "as one"!!!

Thanks Myco!!! Glad to finally know the real skinny on that! A "Hinny"...never even heard of one before. I'll have to Google that now! Haha...I want to know how you know that too! o_O About all I remember from my high school biology class (and yes...I AM that old) is the teacher telling us it was theoretically possible for a rooster to lay an egg. Of course I raised my hand and said the only thing I ever heard of a rooster laying was a HEN!!! (Back to the prinicpal's office for young Max).

And just for the record...I tried the motocross thing exactly twice. Got completely run over at the gate on the first moto, and never even did a lap! On the second moto it was an unlimited class and I was on a Yamaha 360. The 500's (and even a couple of 125's, lol) were a cloud of dust way up ahead, and I still managed to wipe out hard with a few other bikes involved. You're right...those guys are fuggin nutz!!! So ended my brilliant motocross career.

I'd LOVE to check out that part of the country some day. I've never been! It does seem beautiful and serene tho! Thanks for posting that nice pic. I may use that as my wallpaper for a while!

I have a couple old sour grape shots, but they've been posted awhile. I feel sure you've seen them, so I won't repost unless you specifically ask to see them. I don;t think I have anything that hasn't been posted in my BOG thread...or here. And I'm pretty sure you've already seen both. Hope you can find your pics! I'd love to see how yours turned out! By the way...thanks again for your tomato cage suggestion! It's working great on my chocolope this round. BOG's genetics are so strong-branched and hardy, I haven't needed support on anything of his I've ran! Best, -Max

Thanks brother! Looks like just what the doctor ordered. I may as well try to move them. if I shut down...they're gone. If I kill them, the worst that happens is they're gone, so I really have nothing to lose! I'll rig up a box! Thanks again all!

Best, -Max

The Redwood Forest is my backyard and it is the most awesome jungle anywhere.

Walking in this forest is unlike anywhere else. The trees are the largest living things I have ever seen and their weight is incredible.

They would go straight to china like a melted reactor if they didn't all root together into a giant hammock. Their roots never die and their trees just regro forever so you really can't kill one as they are one like the Mycelium of shrooms that may be intelligent I believe the Redwoods are more than alive.

All living things are divine but the Redwood Tree is King of the Jungle and never feared...unless one falls. That's a disaster...they can tumble like dominoes when one falls.

I see them as huge aliens that love me. Yesterday was my yearly quest for water and my spring box is quite remote. I was crawling through thick underbrush and realized that this job is the most unusual job I do.

It's a difficult job but satisfying to be back totally immersed in my jungle. It's where I want to die. My trees love me and we love them.

Visit NorCal at least once. Bog

Yeah I remember very odd bits from college, and funny thing is it wasn't that long ago, I'm in my late twenties. LOL about the rooster 'laying' a hen, that made me laugh.

Ah so your motocross career was limited I see haha. Well I'm glad you didn't get injured too badly... some of my friends used to race when we were younger and they were always getting fucked up. Broken bones, nasty bruises, cracked vertebrae... I was into BMX when I was younger and that was brutal enough at times.

Dude, that BOG says, you certainly have to visit NorCal at least once. The Redwood Forest is truly majestic. Bring some psilocybe mushrooms for a deeply rooted spiritual experience, one with nature :) And no prb, and FTR I can't take credit for that pic, but someday I'll make it to that place (Fern Canyon, look it up) and get my own pics.

Yeah I did see your SG shots, I think lol. I did find a couple pics that I'd already shared, but only of one pheno. I don't think I ever took a pic of the savage yielding, grape bogglegum pheno. I should've held onto it, serious cash cropper that I know someone would greatly enjoy.

Glad to hear the tomato cages are working out for you. I likely will never grow without them again. They work perfect for those branchy, floppy girls. And yep a lot of BOG's genetics hold themselves up quite well. Except my Sour Bubble keeper, she is quite branchy and fairly floppy, as well as my Sour Lifesaver #2 pheno, also quite branchy and floppy to a degree. They both grow like viney, floppy OG's. Which I don't mind, very worth it.

There is nothing quite as peaceful and spiritual as spending an afternoon deep in a secluded grove of old growth redwoods enjoying some herb with your girl.

[Max Frost]

That really was an awesome post BOG! I hope I can visit norcal someday. I've been in LA and SF, but I know that's a completely different thing! I can only imagine what it must be like to stand among those trees. How old do they get anyway? Ancient, I'd imagine! I sure didn't know that about the roots either! Facisnating and amazing for sure!

@ BOG - are you REALLY just there for water, or might you secretly be working on another cross involving those big boys? ;) "Sour BOGwood" perhaps? I can see the description now... "Strong-branched with a woody flavor and can get tall. Heavy Yielder. Yields of up to 60,000 gr/sqm are probable. One seed per pack. Shipping weight 10 lbs."

@ Myco - Calling my motocross career "limited" is being too kind bro. It was a fuckin' disaster! :blackeye: Hope ya make it to Fern Canyon! Looks beautiful! I had never heard of it either. That Sour Lifesaver sounds good! I've got it on my radar too!

 

[barefoot]

those redwoods are the tallest BOG .............but the largest in volume are the Sequoia's which hail in southern Sierra's........

when living in Aptos ('80's) a friend had a variety we nic'ed redwood.......as these flowers were typically as big around as Popeye's forearm and as long..........flavor was good and stone good , but not great......

enjoy your Friday.......

ganj on.................

 

[BushyOldGrower]

A Sequoias Redwood is the other variety and yes they do go even bigger.

Both can be twenty feet in diameter and they can be up to 2000 years old.

Yosemite is another great place to visit but up north we have few people so it's not a rat race finding seclusion.

I have always seen the beauty of nature where ever I go. There isn't a county that doesn't have sacred places. Take a hike and find your secret place. Then sit down and share some raw herb.

The peace and beauty is not hard to find even on this busy planet.

AMEN to that, brother!!! I'm fortunate to live in what is referred to around here as "God's country"! We're way up in the Smoky Mountains, not far from where North Carolina, Tennessee and Virginia all come together. It truly is a beautiful and amazing part of the country! The beauty God has given us is all around, everywhere we look! We just have to "see"!

 

[hermieHerman]

To bad those genetics are not easily availible. Nic pics BOG.

 

[BushyOldGrower]

No shortage of beauty Max...

We rode our motorcycle down to Smoky Mountains National Park and we also rode a ways up the Appalachian Parkway.

Lots of good genetics to come from Planet Earth. :)
