DocBud's Hempy Grow

[slosmokin]

Your mileage may vary......

The plants are lanky and are nearly as wide as they are tall. I don't know if there are different pheno's or what, but mine would have been massively out of control if I had vegged them to 26 inches.
Here's what they looked like when I hit the switch:

The two on the left, in the middle and furthest away from the camera are Blue Dream. Top right is Jack, bottom right is Flo, bottom left is WW.

I have heard similar testimonials, I plan on 4 per a 1000w, so I should have more than enough space.... I am also going to prune the bottom branches and extensively tie em up.
I still can't get over the pics you posted earlier, that was a lot of sugar. I am exited to see how you weigh out, and for your next journal, lol.
Hope all is well

Just read this whole journal... one of the best on the site! I'm glad to be catching the end of it, those are some great looking buds. I'm growing blue dream and white widow right now and your plants are making crazy excited of whats to come, hopefully....
5 stars and rep if I can, can't wait to see the harvest.

I'm going to harvest something this weekend, probably Flo, and possibly Blue Dream. Gotta go out and check.

WW and Jack are gonna happen after TG.

Blue Dream has really slowed down it's drinking habit, while Jack and WW seem to have speeded up.

I'm waitin on FLO's smoke report. U choppin her all at once Doc?

 

[Doc Bud]

Well, I cut off a little tiny bud from the bottom of the White Widow, and dried it for 3 days. Despite being sick as a dog today (flu) I didn't cough when I smoked it, but I honestly couldn't tell you what it tasted like... Two hits and I felt like the top of my head was missing. It wasn't a giddy feeling at all, it was like most of my brain was missing....but then no more body aches, and I definitely was in a better mood....talkative even.

This stuff is stronger than anything I have ever smoked before....wow.

Flo is ready....almost all cloudy, about 10% amber, just what I'm looking for. The plant is starting to die....it's time to come down. Tomorrow night!

I've been flushing with RO, H2O2, and molasses. Same with Blue Dream, except no H2O2 in their mix, I'll do it the last 2 days. This was upon a recommendation from a friend who says the plant will uptake more water this way, and not many nutes.

I will not be able to do a period of darkness with FLO or BD, unless I let the BD go another week. Which I might do, I'll examine it closely tonite.

White Widow....except for the yellow fan leaves, she's green and definitely growing.

Jack I had to spray for mites again last night...found some spots on the leaves of a lower branch and found a couple live mites. Dr. Doooooom.

I'm going to mop, sterilize bomb and no-pest strip this room before my next grow.

 

[Setting Sun]

hope you're feeling better soon brother.

I like your harvest plan.

That main cola on the Jack Herer just gets bigger and bigger, yummmmmmmm.

You know, for your first grow, you grew a couple of strains that aren't exactly beginner plants.

You should be very proud of this grow!

again, hope you feel better soon and I'm looking forward to your harvest

Thanks bro! I'm gonna do something I've not done in many a long year:

I'm going to smoke a bowl and go out for Sushi....wife will drive. I'm hoping the Sake and Wasabi will help me out.

Medicinal Use

Hope u feel better. that WW cola is long as hell. WTG doc. Out of curiosity, do u smoke for medicinal reasons or recreation? How do u feel about recommending cannabis as medicine? Prescribing it?

Re: Medicinal Use

The WW and jack cola's are both about 14inches long....

Here's how my legality goes:

My wife is the patient and I am the caregiver/patient. She smokes for insomnia. I smoke mainly to test out what I will be growing for her and a few others....but I do enjoy it and I sleep well when I have a few tokes at night.

As far as recommending it and/or prescribing it, I am 100% supportive of doing so.

However, as an active libertarian, I believe cannabis and every other "drug" should be legal....making the Dr's Rec a moot issue.

Having said that, I think medical grade cannabis should be:

1.)pesticide free
2.)of the highest quality
3.)organic if possible.

I also think legitimate patients need to be educated about using cannabis, vaporizers, etc. More research needs to be done....I'm convinced that our beloved herb is more useful than we realize.

well said doc, i like the way you think. gorgeous plants and i cannot believe its your first grow!!

sorry to hear you are sick, I totally agree with on all your points. I am also convinced that marijuana could benefit soooo many areas of our lives as humans. Enviro, health ect...
Don't forget, a little rooster sauce will help your congestion as well.

 

[BWC BayArea]

Damn man. Doc u ever consider teaching upon retirement? If only we can get to the younger med students b4 some1 scares them about thinking of incorporating MMJ into their practice.

I can't believe it's my first grow either! I really think the Hempy method is a perfect beginner/novice way of growing.

Rooster Sauce?

What the hell is rooster sauce? Is that hot sauce or somethin?

 

[Doc Bud]

LOL!

I try to teach every day in practice...but I know what you mean.

I know a lot of docs...some of them prominent surgeons in my area. They enjoy cannabis. I would hazard a guess that most of the younger med students are already quite on board when it comes to medical cannabis. Many DC's and DO's are also very dialed in.

However.....there is a problem, because the pharmaceutical companies aren't part of the loop. They want their cut and they are closely watching our baby industry forming.

Just like in wine and beer, there will always be home brewers and tiny little family operations...growers, curers, hash specialists, blenders, the sky is the limit. However, we've got to look out that we don't get squashed by agribusiness, and regulated out of existence.

It could very well become legal to get "medical" cannabis, grown by some jackass corporation like Archer Daniels Midland, but still be illegal to grow your own. Think opium poppies. The drugs that are made from opium are legally prescribed, but you and I can't grow the poppies.

The most important things we can do to help ourselves are:

1.)Stay within the letter of the law
2.)behave responsibly in all aspects of our lives. If we project the image of "pothead" or "stoner" we'll have a very difficult time getting people to see our point of view.
3.)Grow the highest quality product possible, pesticide free.

I toy with ideas like a "growers alliance" or something along those lines, where people sign up and pledge to only grow safe, chemical free weed. Maybe I'll start one right here at 420magazine....just get people to sign up and promise to adhere to "Cannabis ethics." Let me toss the idea around a bit.....

Anyhow, I guess i can rant and rave on my own thread.....

I'm feeling much better now....gonna medicate and go out for sushi!

 

[BWC BayArea]

If ur serious start a thread or poll and see what type of interest is spawned. I'd be interested to read/hear what u have in mind. We can get to that later. Medicate urself, get chauffeured to dinner, and enjoy ur evening with the misses. When ever u start the thread, PM me please.

I couldn't agree more. I have a blog where I briefly touched upon the pharmaceutical companies point of view of MMJ and cannabusiness >

I agree completely. We can't get comfortable because the gov threw us a bone. Yes its progress, but I see too many young people in CA complacent with the present situation while corporate types aim to capitalize on the fast dollar until theses big pharma companies figure how to corner the market once again. I don't wanna thread jack but read this when u have time>California - the Jack Herer Initiative
If u have time check out this thread too>California Cannabis Rift: Taxation vs Legalization

Re: Rooster Sauce?

Sriracha is made from sun ripen chilies which are ground into a smooth paste along with garlic. Or, a yummy hot sauce that goes well with a lot of Asian cuisine.
