A Brixy, Happy, Smokey, Tastey and Grateful Christmas to all!
Here's a stoner's version of a Christmas letter, too lazy to send out via snail mail:
The year started off with Legal Recreational Cannabis here in CA. Practically, this meant that it is now illegal to grow more than six plants. At 11:59 December 31, 2017 it was legal for us to grow as many as our doctor's recommended.
We soldiered on with a Medical Liscense. Read more below.
At the same time, Doc Bud's High Brix Blend continues to grow slowly, organically, without much input or marketing and by trying to ship things fast, fix our mistakes, and help people grow the best, for all the right reasons.
The warehouse I've been growing in for nearly a decade is being decommissioned as a grow space and re-commissioned as another cannabis related business that might possibly get my participation, depending. They a long time friends who used to run a dispensary and purchased plenty of High Brix weed from me over the years. They'll be doing high-end extracts by various means. It's quite likely they'll also be granted permission to run a grow-op on the property, which I'll likely consult/help with.
All growing operations (I need to take pics!) will be reconvened in a brand-new grow room, which is being framed (nearly done) and wired as we speak. This will mean I'll limit indoor growing to a veg room and one 4x8 tray in the flower room, with a high ceiling, massive amounts of light, Co2, climate controls.....all the usual stuff. I'm really looking forward to this as the new spot is a great deal more convenient and less expensive than the awesome warehouse.
While decommissioning the warehouse, 2 days ago the lighting in the veg room was un-plugged....so they were dark and cold for 2 days. Uh-oh....these are all my clones and vegging plants of what I consider critical Lemon Paki genetics.
I have them on 24 hours light....already the tops are crispy because all the cholorfill drained out in the dark. (after this I absolutely do NOT recommend an dark period to jumpstart bloom!) The lower half of the plants seem to be doing better. There will be a massive hormone fluctuation and I'll probably get single bladed leaves until everything re-vegges. Hopefully, I'll recover Paki. I'm hopeful but this is new territory.
The bright side is that the timing for such a disaster is 100% perfect. The dark side is that I'm as close to losing Paki as I could ever have imagined......but there's hope.
Everything else is going great! I'm looking forward to the new year!
Thanks to everyone here for being so damned awesome and helping everyone grow the best plant on earth!
