Amy Gardner’s High Brix Dreams

Another day, another prime Minister.....
 
I know right! What a shitfest :laugh:

I’m only half paying attention. But it was only a matter of time I guess before the ultra conservative cohort in the coalition staged their uprising. If Malcolm Turnbull resigns his seat like he said he would, we technically have a hung parliament. Interesting to see how it plays out - or maybe it won’t be interesting...
Should have called a special election - maybe we’ll get a change of government out of it. Cannabis law ain’t gonna get better under the current lot - possibly worse.

Thanks Blacksmith :) I’m having a great day - political circuses aside - I got nicely stoned off my experimental canna latte and have been in a great mood all afternoon.

Hope your days are good too. Your soil must be nearly cooked now, yes?

Cheers Grizz, Black...
:passitleft:

:ganjamon:
 
Cooked and in use my dear, I'd show you, but they're all under blurples for the moment, new light should be finished next week, then I'll show you what's going on in the forge.
 
Excellent! Mwuahaha - thanks for saving me from the bplurples :) looking forward to seeing the garden.

:Namaste:
 
Liberal government are the only ones that will change cannabis laws, Medicinal, cannbera, South Australia etc.. Labor can't, don't change any laws, they better at bringing them up when in opposition.. Their times taken up with debates about projects when in power...
 
So I got through 2 canna coffees reading this 31 page journal;) I’ve been anticipating the start of a new Amy Journal but I thought I needed to wait for Aussie summertime!

Woooop This Girl is definitely a favourite of mine...yes I’m attached to big blue already:D

I just made my first cannabrew using ABV. I took pics for the cannacoffee brewing thread that @BTzGrow started, but I think I’ll put it here first and then paste it in over there after.

I need some help with this too Shed... I think I may have just ingested too much... I suppose we’ll find out in 40-80minutes! :rofl: Or if I don’t manage to finished this post

First hiccup - forgot to upload the pics! BRB
Ok - uploading was being retarded on my phone so I’ll do it as attachments instead...
I took half a gram of already vaped bud (which auto-corrected as “fat butt” :D )

58F23879-EDBC-4F94-9EDA-46E6B8F28345.jpeg


Used my little one shot Italian stovetop coffee maker
A2EC7617-0516-4240-A26A-49FA886C0328.jpeg


Some ground chickory (dandelion) root on the bottom..
0F3FDD12-71E0-4482-A242-32421FA0FF01.jpeg


The AVB on top of that (half a gram turned out to be about a teaspoon)
D45D2D14-92B2-4755-9916-3266CCE6149B.jpeg


I actually topped this off with a little more chickory root. Then on very low heat to brew slowly...
78D77124-E496-42AC-9869-3840FCD82071.jpeg


Into my glass I put one small teaspoon of raw cacao powder (it’s a tiny teaspoon).
345634EE-0AEF-47D1-837D-7508A731863F.jpeg


Here comes the brew!
7F54540E-C12F-45B2-AACA-C292B6BA348B.jpeg


I mixed a little boiling water and the stovetop brew into the glass with the cacao powder to make a nice syrupy mix...
00C6B37D-B49B-4074-9ADF-F876FFEC92F6.jpeg


And topped it off with some hot milk (Soy in my case) and some more boiling water
5290F3BD-D42E-4646-A4CE-CEE62957F157.jpeg


It smells a bit like the nuttiness of the AVB and I’m sure I’m not imaging the very sight green tinge...

4116D46C-EAB0-45FC-BB99-DAE9723D5BB4.jpeg


It’s pretty delish - but it ususally is when I make it without the AVB. I actually made this a bit strong in the chickory department because it’s a different coffee maker to usual, and I forgot.

Anyway, I’ve drunk it all now ... been at least 20, maybe 30 mins and I certainly feel something :hmmmm: ... and I’m happy ... smiling ... with a little tingling around my lips and face that I’m hoping is not some kind of allergic response to something (I have those seemingly randomly in recent years and we haven’t worked out definite triggers yet except alcohol - imagine if I became cannabis allergic :eek:) Ok that’s not happening Amy! :rofl: Certainly got something going on ... I wonder what kind of day this will be now (coming up on midday Friday here).

I think I can say it works ... it’s not as tasty as when I put my Afghani x Critical Mass oil into the same beverage though... that’s delish! But it is an interesting use for AVB.

This looks and sounds delicious :D

Happy growing!

Late but committed;)

I’ll grab a coffee and catch up girl!
Click to expand...
Welcome newty! :welcome:
:slide: hey everyone - Newty is here! Gummy bears and joints for all!
:yummy:

Glad to have you in the house newty :) and reps for your committed catching up ;)

And yes... #piquingyourcuriosity... I was an acrobat/ musician/ dj and performance artist in my past life :ganjamon: ... and yes, I have juggled Fire... and knives... and swung from tall buildings...

Oh yes - and the outdoor thing is usually my thing but I get so much out of growing I negotiated with my lifestyle to incorporate a small indoor run each year during the ‘off’ season. Really, going forward, it’s to grow some longer flowering sativas that my cool and wet early autumn weather won’t allow me to grow outdoors. Next year I hope to have some Ace genetics to run.


Ahhh .... :bong:
Sunday morning wake and bake in a minute... lights just came on and Blue Dream is looking stunning after getting water yesterday (I made it a “Transwater”). Highlariously I am here rewatching videos about matching LEDs and drivers etc thinking about the future upgrades I can do to my light ... next year I’ll enhance it a little I think. For now though I’m half wondering if I could be running it a bit softer during veg - the intensity might have been part of what’s kept the structure super tight. Not that I’m complaining! And it seems to be putting on some length now so it’s fine. I just wonder whether backing it off might encourage some more reaching. Anyway that’s partly why I’m going back over the research now, to learn some of the finer points and understand better how to run it - it’s all about ratios (watts to photons) :nomo:

I can say that there’s no shortage of tops/potential colas on this thing - I count nearly 20 already! And I haven’t topped it yet. I won’t need to encourage or coax any tops out of it... I think my main mission with it is going to be to help the plant get out of its own way!

Won’t be updating for a few days yet so here’s an inbetween updates peek... in the tent just now...

Very nice Amy, looks like the GI drench really did the trick. Did you notice the node spacing increase any?
She's looking very healthy, great work!
 
Hey daj - not as dramatically at first but the last 24hrs has really got some movement going. That’s 4-5 days since that GI Drench so that’s probably just having the effect now. I also raised the light a little bit 2days ago and that seems a little better right now.

Mmm ... lazy Sunday morning here...

Nice, just settling into my lazy late Saturday afternoon here in the states. Can hardly wait for my lazy Sunday tomorrow! Take care Amy!:passitleft:

I do have a few stories newty... :)

So my own journal had dropped to the bottom of page 2 of my subbed threads... and as Shed says... that won’t do! :theband:

I’m due for an update but have been a bit busy and can’t quite manage it today. Prob’ly tomorrow ...

Meanwhile, I think big Blue has a triploid (right word?) branch ... I thought I was seeing it the other day, but figured I was imagining it amongst all that tight bushy growth, but today it is quite clear...

Pretty cool ...

:passitleft::surf:
 
I know! I’m a bit behind but not too worried. It’ll happen... is happening slowly. Last year I planted waaay late and still ended up with pretty big plants so I’m not too fussed. I am making moves around testing the outdoor soil though so, things are afoot :)

What growing plans do you have this summer?

Isn’t that triploid beautiful! :love::yummy: It’s actually one of the very lowest branches and I had thought they might be coming off when I prune and upcan... don’t think I can take that of tho’ - it’s too gorgeous :D

My plan is to follow the ideal DBHBB pattern and get the plant to the point of needing water everyday, for about a week, then upcan (into a 10g) and flip to flower (11/13).

I actually ended up doing exactly that outdoors last summer, kind of by accident because our enclosure was delayed - and it turned out awesome. It’s the way Doc does it and his pics don’t lie! :yummy:

I figure that moment will be in about 2 weeks, give or take.

I’ve had a lot of extra pain today - did some stuff on the weekend - and am happy to report that the medibles are doing their thing pretty well
:thumb::green_heart::420:

G’night wings n all :Namaste:
 
It's still a bit away from the ideal time to plant...you still have just under a month before us "easterners" can plant but it may be different for you since you're in NSW and I'm pretty sure you're in a warmer spot than I am haha. As the old oz saying goes "plant fathers day, harvest mothers day" it holds pretty true for most plants. May not be dead on but close enough :rofl: I've only had the pleasure of growing outdoor cannabis once (at my dads) and that was 10 decent sized plants, 1.04 pounds of some mega tasty buds :)

What do you mean by testing the soil? Like seeing what the composition/ph is like? I still have to get a soil ph tester damnit lol.

So far I'm just setting up one plot for 1 plant. I may have more plans later on (when/if I think of them) but where we're at is a rented place so we'll see what happens. Thankfully where we live is on a old estate, no one around so it's a more of a thing of when do inspections happen and how often since we are in a rural area.

You could always clone it when you prune ;) It could be a cool experiment to see how the triploid grows out :P

Cool cool. I've followed people growing in DBHBBB kit but never got into it myself. I'm sure the results that i've seen in the past will shine through again in your journal :thumb:

She is getting pretty chunky, you can see it's ready to explode with new veg growth in the coming weeks. Should be fun :)

Glad to hear you meds are working well,

Good night :Namaste:
