TGR’s High Elevation Grow Journey

[TheGoldenRoad]

I wonder how my neighbors would feel if I started collecting McIntosh amps and JBL’s to recreate this 28,800 watt monster.

Right? I’m 0-2. But I did hit a Grand Slam with the Michoacán being a chica.

does that imply the two pb4 x haymeadow are indeed sisters? Beautiful structure and symmetry on those two.


better female rates with the reg seed, lmao thats actually pretty hilarious.

Capt knows what hes doing though, that HAD to be an accidental mislabel, he's usually packing lots of stuff all at once. Id bet money you got fem cali blues in there somewhere, it just may not be the bag labeled fem calie blues

IF that one goes male, or doesnt match the cali blues genotype and capt dont have more ready to go, i got you on at least 5 confirmed cali blues fem beans fwiw. They are beautiful and impressive plants. Made some of the tastiest concentrates ive personally ever made. They dont quite kick like the peaceblasters as flower, but theyre vigorous like em and actually make better concentrates than the pb's do lol. And tbh their flavor and terp profiles are a lot more pleasant. The peaceblasters usually go gnarly stanky and raunchy on ya lol. They tend to have very acrid and skunky smells. Chemmy flavors. Very rich in thiol. Cali blues is like, the polar opposite of the sativa spectrum, it was actually pretty cool to have em both going at the same time. I was going to cross the two genotypes, but as i grew em out i realized they have practically zero complimentary recessive traits lol. i dont think it'd be a great cross personally. Its kinda crazy to oogle at how unbelievably different the two flowers are right next to each other though.

Ypu know, they prob wouldn't hate it as much as ya think.

The thing about the wall of sound was the number of drivers and discrete amplifiers. Each individual driver wasn't pushing much volume, but there was a ton of them. You could push 95 db at the stage, far quieter then most live shows But the number of drivers were just pushing SO much air, that a quarter mile away you'd lose barely any volume, or fullness, and the only measurable additional harmonic distortion was on windy days.

On outdoor shows, their sound was damn near as good in the parking lot as front center stage.

Every mic had it's only amplifier and stereo speaker setup iirc. There was an entire mixing board and multiple PA systems just for the drum set alone lol.

No one, to this day, has come even close to the audio quality the Dead were giving anyone within earshot over 50 years ago. Fact. It's not even a contest.

Owsley Stanley. (Owsley Bear, chief sound technician to the dead, designer of the dancing bear art [iirc] and engineer of the original walls of sound, as well as their acid chemist) is kinda my hero. My hand made strat is named after his most famous batch of acid too, orange sunshine.

I wish I was there back then to hear it. The majesty of such a thing would be far from lost on my ears lmfao.

I would pay money, willingly, just to hear a single ride cymbal tap on that sound system from a quarter mile away.


Dude, you could have a Conversation with your buddy over that system at the stage, center, front row, but then go out to the parking lot, and barely even notice you went anywhere at all. It was live audio perfection... The amps didn't even get hot, you could put your ear AT the drivers and they wouldn't even ring afterward. Had to be a super wild experience for the people who knew what it was they were in the presence of lmao.

The Dead, specifically, playing live through the original wall of sound, specifically, was a psychedelic Godzilla of music professionalism the likes of which the world had never seen before, and will probably never see again.

If I remember correctly, this is also the same system where where they had to use two mics for the vocalists. One was in phase and one had the phase reversed. Bear was a genius when it can to engineering and so was Dan Healey.

This is the second to last show it was used before retirement (Winterland ‘74 fall run). Please excuse Donna

There is no excuse for Donna. Stray cats have better rhythm, melody and harmony than she does.

I remember when bears memorabilia shed burned down.
I felt so fucking bad for the guy
Gotta say donna especially on one more saturday night, it never mattered the gig, the great vibes or any if that,



A chicken with no damned head sounded like aretha franklin compared to donna.

Im pretty sure the saying
“I am come death. Destroyer of worlds” was written just for her.



God she sucked

From the same show I believe…..
The first thing that comes to mind is Phils bass line on the introduction to the song.

This one gets me pumped, I never had the fortune to see the dead, but I have been to quite a few DSO shows and their ability to recreate entire shows as well as improvise their own sets makes me a huge fan, and for that I am grateful ️

I once went off on a ten minute rant with a buddy of mine talking shit about Donna, we were on a fishing trip and high as hell. The entire rant between the two of us was done with Indian accents.

Next best thing to actually being at the og show man.

This picture is when the dead landed in Europe for the stepping out with the dead 1972 tour. Jerry was tripping his balls off right there.

I’m sad that they aren’t playing at the casino ballroom in Hampton beach this year, they always booked a Friday and Saturday night double header.

And that’s why tunes like Hey Bo Diddly were absolutely epic from that leg.

there were actually 2 or 3 identical walls IIRC, the PA was so complex, and took so long to sound check, they had to leap frog it out 2 venues ahead of their stop just to make sure it was ready for the band to soundcheck the live mix when they arrived lol. It took a small town's worth of people to pull that shit off lol.

i thought dead & co seemed like the truer parking lot experience. But Darkstar definitely felt like the truer live music experience. I would go to dead & company for the community, Darkstar for the music.

Not that the lots at darkstar arent epic, and not that the Dead & co shows aren't absolutely fantastic though. I actually never realized how ridiculous a guitar player John Mayer was til i saw DeaD & CO in St Louis. Dude is a "wtf clean" kinda player and fits in to their stage waaaaay better than i ever expected him to..


I actually saw Darkstar at a venue in St Louis in 2019, then not even a week later, Dead & Co came through the exact same venue. Was my last shows before the pandemic broke out. Dead & Co did 2 nights too. Basically got 3 massive dead shows, full lots, 3x, in a single week lol.

Bro then i know youve seen the upside down wu tang W shirt for john mayer?
Its dope, i should have snagged one.
But i legit kjnda loathed the dude,
Until i seen him rip jack straw.


I was like “fuck”
“Hes good, hes really good. He hits some pretty subtle jerry-isms….”

i was not about John Mayer on lead guitars. Then i saw him playing with Dead & Co. By the time it clicked what i was watching, all the merch with mayer on it was already gone lmao. There was like 500 people in line within minutes of him going on stage lmao. We were all waiting to see him preform before we put any $ on the merch lmfao.

Now i wish Mayer had cleaned up his act sooner, because gawt DAYUM that guy can rip a strat and shoo-wee does he belong on that stage next to Bob.

I went out an bought like 3 Mayer records on vinyl after that lmao. Seeing that man play a strat live is powerful thing. Clapton doesnt even impress me that much with a strat.

Do it LOL

Obviously, what impresses people when it comes to music is purely subjective!
