Morning Bob, anything and everything goes in my recycle can. I mean anything. As long as the lid closes. They dont check. A hunk of concrete. Cut up vacuum. Nothing recyclable of value. No soda cans, water bottles. Just house hold crap. No food garbage. And dog shit right on top before I put it out. People scrounging in the recycle is not as popular here as it once was. Not sure why. That be a game changer if they checked and ticketed. I know the driver dosent want to get out of the truck for nothing, trust me. This saves me from storing shit up for a dump run. I just cut it up and put it in, sawsall!. Even if it takes a month to do.
Yeah bro... they have a mechanical sorter. I have a pickup truck and make regular runs to the city "recycling center". They are a PITA.. but all good. I had a guy tell me to not put that 50# rock in the dump truck...
I'm like dude - I'm going to put it in my trash can?? Your guy that picks it up is going to get a back ache... I'm trying to help out here. As I piled rock into the dump truck.
Pickers:
Oh man.. if there's something big and it has metal in it... put out 3arly .... take bets on time of departure! Problems solved... just dont leave your ladder out!
We live in a big city so there's a huge waste stream for both water, trash and garbage. The more garbage going into the compost bin in my back yard (multiply that by 100,000) = gonna cut down on the labor and place to put the garbage.... and everyone has the best soil compost you
can't purchase in a store. I like to think it promotes folks at home growing their own ... veggies, flowers, berries trees... people. ALL GOOD.
Plus - A+ for home grown... WIN WIN WIN.
Dolato:
Ok so friends came over today I was in the middle of trimming Dolato... I always pull off some "Trimmers Delight" (calyx from the stems) ... enough to puff a good bit.
Shit was at least as strong an my friends Vap pen they have canna oil in. But then I was trimming for a good 4 hrs... till my eyes were blurry and I really couldn't focus.
VERY sticky gooey buds Easy to trim. Hardly any flavor so pretty smooth, and hardly any smell either. The smell is improving even with just 1 day after trimming, still drying a little. I had to set all the trimmed buds out another day. They were pretty dank and sticky.
Ok a little update... I forgot to hit enter last night! ^^^
Dolato #1 Haul: After drying and trimming 6.7 zips or 188gms - in the cans. Not too shabby.
Dolato #1 - Early smoke report :
It's good weed.. strong meds for sure. I get a nice body buzz going and feel a good uppity high for a few hours. Went out to the brewpub with a few friends after puffage. Beers went down GREAT was laughing my ass off with no anxiety. Relaxed but nice mellow up high feeling. Back home for more... yeah this is not too bad. I'd like some more flavor but I think that will come with a nice 3-4 week cure.
So that's 1 of the new strains this round. The other is PMB - Purple Monkey Balls. She's just finishing up.... I'm letting her go a little bit more to see if she has any more wind left. She's getting a nice color going and the trichomes are purple/pink and regular clear mix, kinda cool to see colored trichomes. And the smell.. woah. This one in going pungent + Grape soda. Sweet smelling and pungent at the same time. This is going to be a good 1 too.
Bud candy pics:
Start off with a Family Picture: Most everything is just getting going. PMB #1 is in the back on the right - purple hazy looking plant, then all the rest. The PMB #1 - all the buds are rocks ... just like the breeder description... doesn't look like much from far back, those are rock hard dense nugs. Gonna be a treat trimming that plant! Many of those little nugz made the stems bend over so they should be pretty dense. I had to tie up most of the branches.
Oh yeah - shout out to Dan @ Timber Grow Lights... this is a all Timber Light flower room. My VEG rooms are Timber as well. Good to see them as a new sponsor.. Anyone what top notch lighting, I'm a huge Timber Light fan boy.
front right - Labyrinth #4
Front right inside little one - PMB #2 - looks like a Polyploid (3 sets of single leaves in a swirl pattern) so Tri-ploid?
Center Front - Dolato #2
Center Rear - Buffalato #1 - hard to see... she's at the roof today still growing taller, she's had flowers for a few weeks already.
Right Front - Chemdawg
Right Rear - looking like DT #8
Start off with PMB.
PMB #1 - Side nug close up
Side nug - closer upper
Side nug - Trichome shot.. 1/2 purple trichomes, must be time to chop.
PMB #1 - another side bud trichome shot.. pink/purple trichomes cloudy with a dusting of frosty.
Dolato #2 - side bud close up
Here's were I'm getting murky since puffing ... ummmm .. hot flash.. head hot, head hot head hot! hahaha
Dolato #2 - side bud getting a little toasty under the lamps... need more thc to protect them! Go girl go.
Dolato #2 - more side buddage close up - I think she's at about 20 days in flower... Dolato goes fast. Definitely early stages.
Buffalato #1 - side bud @ 18ish days... I need to raise the roof or bend her leader main shoot, I'm afraid that bending like a super crop on the main stem will drop my yields. Tomorrow I will have to deal with it... she's 1" from the roof tonight at lights out. Probably going with LST and harvest PMB#1 (but she's showing signs of a 2nd wind).
PMB #2 - close up - Tri-ploid?? This is where I'm fuzzy...
PMB #2 again...
PMB #1 - One of the up high (not under direct lighting) nugs that is not quite purple yet.
Chemmy 12 days in flower... Going to be the shortest plant after the PMB Tri-ploid... She's a nice bush tho... and stacking up already.
Chemmy ... Stacking it to the buddage! Soon to be stinking it to the neighborhood.
Cheers and wishing everyone green gardens and bountiful harvests!
