What? North Cicero Ave? What’s this about my home town? I’m very familiar with the area even though it’s on the hated Northside I would love to hear the explanation. CL
Hey CL, you remember the Phillies Cubs at Wrigley back in Mike Schmidt days when they played a game where it was like 24-22 Phillies?What? North Cicero Ave? What’s this about my home town? I’m very familiar with the area even though it’s on the hated Northside I would love to hear the explanation. CL
The most home runs in MLB history. The Cubs won 26-23. Sometimes @ Wrigley Field when the wind is blowing out strong little league teams could hit home runs. lol
CLBack in 2009 Amazon Kindles were only available in the US. My Dad ordered a couple and had them delivered to some law firm he was visiting in Chicago. A month or so later I met him in Cairo (Egypt!) and he gave them to me, one for me one for my then girlfriend. Buying books was still an issue, I found that if I put the delivery address as a US one I could use my Hong Kong credit card to buy Amazon vouchers and in turn use them to buy books. I chose Chicago just because the Kindle was delivered there. In the unlikely event someone looked into it then it would “smell right” So I googled Macdonalds Chicago and that one popped up. 3560 North Cicero Avenue, 60641.What? North Cicero Ave?

That’s pretty cool but I knew there had to be an interesting story behind it. The Art Institute was always a favorite field trip when I was a kid. The movie Ferris Bueler has a great moment in it. Actually that movie is a John Hughes love story of his hometown. Great movieBack in 2009 Amazon Kindles were only available in the US.

I sometimes wonder if they have occasionally got random stuff delivered there and to start with they were like "Who the hell is this Nick Hardy guy?!" Open the envelope and idk some Amazon vouchers or whatever pops out. I've owned a lot of Kindles, 40 plus now. They used to break really easy and they'd send out me new ones for free. I have 2000+ books in my library now.
You know my name, if you're up that way demand to see the manager and say you're representing me and "Nick Hardy wants his stuff!" I doubt there was anything but you never know! You can always get a Big Mac while you're there...
My Dad nearly took a job in Chicago back in about 1991, him and my Mum still go regularly. Love the city, especially the art scene. Then we nearly moved to Wilmington, Delaware in '92. I think with four kids (I'm the oldest) it would have been a big deal but ultimately probably my Mum didn't want to move, her Mum was still around then and all her mates were back home. My Dad basically commuted to the US for large periods of time from mid 80's to oh like mid 2000's? But especially 1984-1998. He's go to NY for a day sometimes. Concorde in the morning, overnight 747 to London that evening and straight back to the office.
So yeah I could have been a neighbour of your or Jon's!
. I used to devour books 
when I was incarcerated. That’s all you can do to escape being locked up n pass the time. Played a lot of chess too. If you ever get a chance you should check out Chicago it’s a beautiful city with great restaurants, museums, sports teams and the architecture is world class. Just be sure you visit it in the Spring or Summer. lol CLFor a while I thought I was gonna be living the dream in the burbs, a cross between Ferris's house and the one out of national Lampoons Christmas Vacation!That’s pretty cool but I knew there had to be an interesting story behind it.

Just weigh it and picture it. Zero the scale first. Post weights. We have no trust issues here.
Happily for & Co they’ll finish today. Only started about 3 hours ago. Fluffy and airy too. Not as much as 600g there. Lucky to hit a pound.
Sigh.
They’ve trimmed in the dry room so probably don’t need an extra day or so drying. Maybe weights later today.
How we gonna do it?
I was planning on sending to @InTheShed if he’s still interested in being Judge, Jury and Executioner?

Did you test from different places, lowers n upper? CLGorilla Cookies
Coco/hydro/Cyco
Harvest????
Ok guys, do I take her? The buds are closed and dense as lead. She ain’t getting any fatter or sprouting any more new growth. As you can see from the trichs, there’s a decent bit of amber creeping in. Yes there are still some unfilled trichs, but for the most part they’re white. If I wait on every single trich to get white at this point I fear I’ll have way too much amber for me.
Here’s the pics. Would you guys take her?
There’s no great reveal then!
I have the lowest bud off the plant in the toaster oven right nowDid you test from different places, lowers n upper? CL
So is that the yield? 420 grams? Or is that not an official number? What do I need to beat?There’s no great reveal then!
And no chance to tease!
I will say this when & Co out this on the scales she laughed. It was no fix.
But was it tared? How much does a 1lb Grove Bag weigh?
Which strain was it?
We know! The rest ya gonna need wait a bit!
But its at 60% max Rh so happy for it to go into Groves today to get curing. A note on Grove Bags. They are magic but you do have to dry your weed first! We'll aim for 58% minimum and because our background Rh is higher than where we dry (normally) we'll dry a second time after trim. But once its in the bag three things we would never do which I have seen people doing all over.
#1 Put a Bovida or similar in.
Here you are just messing with the bags own regularity environmental system. So the Bovida absorbs more moisture so then the Grove allows more moisture in to balance it again and then you end up with a soggy bovida back in with your weed
#2 Put a Hygrometer in there with it.
If you want to test they work/are working then take a bud out and throw it real quick in a jar with a meter for an hour. Personally I don't want some 10c battery powered device in with my weed. You gotta trust. We have weed been in them for over a year. Still smells and and feels great, we have never had any mould out of more than 30lbs cured in them. Not once.
#3 Open the bag in the first two weeks.
Gotta trust. Everytime you open it unless the place you are opening it is perfect at 60% Rh and at 24c (like my bedroom happily) you are making it reset the environment all over again. Just zip and forget.
Though I'm quite keen to try the Bubba Kush and BBMR, never had those strains before - maybe I'll make an exception and open those to vape a tester bud next week or something.
An like I say - & Co just plonked the bag down and that number on the scale popped up! She's not that au fait with 420 meaning or anything, doubt she knows the name of the site! But she's good with numbers and I wasn't even watching but she squeaked Honey!
The Universe Delivers (Again!)
Nick & Co
I’m gonna wait a couple more days. That low bud was good, not great. The upper 3/4 of the nugs are all great. I could take it and have about 20% unfinished buds, and it would be fine. But I’m going for as close to perfect as possible. So I wait some more…..Did you test from different places, lowers n upper? CL
I’ll say this Nick - I did not think in a million years that you’d be done and weighed before I harvested a single plant.
