Ase's Perpetual Fun With Coco

Used to own a zebo/carver/spike cross. Absolute machine. Could climb trees and clear a 6ft wall.
 
Do you use the shwazzing method

I used to follow someone who was an adamant believer in that Threes A Light book. That's where shwazzing comes from. I do a defoliation before flipping and I do one about 20 days in. However I don't defoliate as hard as the book recommends so I only do like a half version.
 
Daaaaaaang its bushing up in there! .Also I wish we were neighbours!! Have a great night boys.✌️.

It would be very fun to be neighbors with a bunch of you guys! I'd have an odd feeling there would be a lot of standing on our lawns talking about growing! Lol.

It makes sense you want good air movement through the plants .

Day 73 Flower Tent A - Day 19 Flower Tent B

Flower Tent A still looks relatively the same. Both of them will start getting flushed tomorrow. I will be popping beans tonight or tomorrow to start my next round in this tent.

Flower tent B did a great job this weekend. I wanted a couple extra inches of growth and I got them. There is still a lot of new green growth too so I still might get a couple more inches. Usually my plants are done stretching by now but these ones took a little longer in transition. Just keep following along my schedule.

The two in the back will be like the size of my Purple Envy and the two in the front will be just a little shorter than that. The node spacing is very tight and compact though and I think that is due to the Epistar lights. The light penetration is better and I think it is keeping the plants from stretching as much. I'm okay with that as long as the yields stay the same. Would very much rather be short and wide than to deal with height problems. It will also keep the plants sturdier and stockier.

Lastly I was gone for the last couple days in the mountains for a bachelors party. About half the crew was from Texas and it was fun to showcase some of my homegrown greenery. They were floored by it. I brought about an ounce and most of them had never even seen that much. Then when they found out that I grow it they had a ton of questions. It was a good reminder about how grateful I am that I live in a progressive part of the country. I can't imagine being paranoid about getting caught smoking somewhere and getting in big trouble for it again (like I used to be about it). I waited until it was legal to grow and if it never became legal here I never would have gone down this path. Pretty crazy to think about how some parts of the country still are about it.
 
Its always funny having out of state friends in awe over our homegrown bud lol. We really are lucky to be able to grow legally where we are and not have to break the law just for some meds..

Your girls are booming man! Lush early flowers and frosty flowers ready for harvest, ya got the best of both worlds up in there!

Truly and you take it for granted until you talk to people where they have zero progression towards cannabis. Even before it was legal it was still heavily decriminalized here. Couldn't imagine living in a state like Texas with very slow progression. Some would even say almost none. I'll get to see it first hand when I travel there for the wedding. At least I made some friends to hook me up with their sources when I get there. Have to go back to the old school way of obtaining flower for that vacation.

Yep I feel that, I come from Georgia where they aren't so friendly towards cannabis in most places. I even got in trouble with it when I was 17 for 0.1 grams aka crumbs..... Good thing that is long in the past now and Im growing this lovely plant now!

Hopefully you won't have to go too old school when you go to the wedding, like back in the day when you had nothing but some bud and a tin can lol :rofl:

I am right there with you Ase. We legalized recreational in Massachusetts last election. I hurt my back about 10 days before that election. I started growing after I tried a nugget of my brothers stuff (lives in Washington state and grows commercially there) and was amazed at the relief it gave my back. Now had it still been illegal here, I wouldn't have started growing. Also if I hadn't hurt my back, I wouldn't have smoked or grown. Funny the cause and effects and where it will lead you. I was by no means a smoker (didn't touch the stuff for 25 years) but I always felt if people wanted to smoke, they should be allowed to....I just didn't have any desire to use it before my back injury and I was very skeptical of its true medicinal uses. Now after about a year of using it and researching it, I have a total different take on it......even to the point of considering a career in it. Funny how one simple thing like blowing your back out can change your life in so many different ways.

I love this story man, but sorry about your back. I find it so important to hear others stories with how they became passionate about this medicine especially when it was not really apart of your life before. So cool

It certainly wasn't a part of my life at all. I smoked a little bit as teenager growing up in Florida. I just knew I didn't want to be like a lot of the guys I smoked with (you know 35-40 years old.....hanging out at the beach with the high school kids and graduates...not really having a job, etc) and I needed a bit more structure in my life (I was a hard headed, wild dude that was a hard drinker and party animal, with a bit of a violent side) so I decided to join the Marines. I spent 22 years in and didn't touch the stuff. Even after I got out, I only smoked socially like 3 times in the 5 years after I retired. Then I ruptured my L4-L5 and royally screwed up my facet joints from L3 to S1. Even then my brother was telling me "Dude, just smoke, your back will be much better", but I was dealing with it like I always dealt with pain....suck it up. I refused to use the muscle relaxers or any of the pain killers they tried to prescribe me.

Well after about 3 months of sucking it up and running off of very little sleep (back really hurt laying down so it was a lot of tossing and turning) I was really wearing down. I finally took his advice and lit up the cheap little pipe I had. I kid you not when I say I felt instant relief, but when I hit the first bud, I inhaled and as I was holding it, I felt the tingle run from my neck down to the lower back area and the pain disappeared and was replaced with just a little tingling. I could still feel that something was going on in that area, but it no longer hurt. And I FREAKING SLEPT like 6 hours that night. I was blown away.

Then a month or two later I got hit with my first muscle spasm. I didn't know what the hell it was. I was asleep and tried to roll over but couldn't move. I spent about an hour trying to get out of bed, unsuccessfully, before I woke up my girlfriend and told her I needed help getting out of bed. I was in such pain it took about 20 minutes to get dressed and downstairs. I loaded up the bong and stepped outside and took a hit. I kid you not, less than 2 minutes later the spasm released and was gone. I swear it was like magic. I really started researching it from a medicinal standpoint and was blown away.

I don't fault those that are anti cannabis. They are a product of what our governments want them to be. We are taught from the time we are kids to say no and think that cannabis is evil and a gateway drug. We have all the people in positions of authority and positions we are taught to respect who tell us its wrong and not allowed. Is it any big surprise that a lot of people believe it to be awful for you. Again, I wasn't necessarily against it, I just didn't buy into it as medicine (On a side note, I think far too many people are on different forms of prescription medicine without first learning to deal with what they think is wrong with them) any more than I bought into prescription meds as the answer most of what supposedly ails us. And I still feel that way. For people who are depressed....I think learning to deal with life, or pain, without turning to something to help should always be the first option.
