DrZiggy's 1st Journal Featuring High Brix - LEDs & Cool Strains

Kinda like right here where I live. :;):

Kinda! I haven't been everywhere, mind you, but in my new country a person has far more personal freedom than here, and the police are not well armed and do not go around in body armor. Opening a business, improving land, building/remodeling a home...all of that is MUCH easier to accomplish down there than here.

However, some of the countries down there are quite corrupt (not as bad as the USA) and petty theft is a huge problem. We've got no problem with petty theft in Uruguay and the government is too small and weak to be of any great irritant to folks.

Most people own their land and operate freely on it. The small amount of corruption is mainly in the large cities (2 of them) and is really nothing compared to a large American city.

The problem Westerners run into in SA is that business is done on a relational level down there, whereas we Americans look at everything from a transactional perspective. IE, if I want to buy a house here in the USA, I find a realtor and he figures out a way to make a transaction take place. Down there, you need to get to know the realtor socially, be introduced to his/her social and business circle and if they like you you'll get great service! If they don't like you, you will have a very, very hard time with the transaction.

We ran into a snag with our property purchase and our realtor (now a friend) actually loaned us a large amount of money for a couple weeks without us asking, without contract and without recourse to collect from us should we try something. He and his friends liked us and therefore we were treated very well.

And now that everyone paid everyone back, we're part of the inner circle and our next transactions will go even better.

Typically, had the same stuff gone on here in the USA, lawyers would get involved and people would lose money. But down there a relative stranger kicked in a lot of money like a family member would do! This type of thing can only come about when people are free to act and associate/disassociate with whomever they please. That sort of judgement is illegal in the US.

Steer clear of Paraguay, Venezuela and parts of Brazil....I've never been to Suriname or Guyana before. Chile is pretty cool, especially Valparaiso. Argentina is great too, as is Colombia, Ecuador and Peru....but nothing compares to Uruguay, IMO.

Uruguay is the USA 100 years ago, except with modern appliances, internet and good interstates. The mindset of the people flows from the fact that private property is the foundation of freedom.....and they don't do mortgages, so everyone owns their property free and clear.

I intend to revolutionize cannabis down there....what they have now is about on par with what I saw in the early 70's in junior HS.
 
Good News! Well for me it is. :) I found my missing microSD card...the one that had a few pics of my CannaMint Chocolate Chip Icecream?

My Uncle's second wife was Chilean. He met her in the late 70's while down there working for the DEA too...lmao. I remember listening to her telling stories of her childhood. I found her everyday life so intriguing then.

So your uncle is not coming over to your place for Thanksgiving, I take it? :)
 
LOL...No worries Zig. He was a natural comedian and the last time I saw him 2004-ish he had me laughing so hard I almost pooped in my pants. His daughter used to bring back weed from there on the plane...no shit. This was all right after Midnight Express came out and I thought she was nuts...but not so much that I didn't smoke her weed with her. :)
 
There are ways of refining the individual terpenes. There are a few people doing this now and even using some of those refined terpenes as a type of solvent to extract the resin. One of them is Horatio Delbert...
 
omg, i LOVE Horatio's LHO (Limonene Hash Oil)


his method of extracting glanheads is just magnificent, purely artistic.


i think using d-limonene to make concetraces is absolutely amazing and promising for the future.


if only i could taste that product out of a sublimator, it would feel like Christmas.


big props, we need more people actually researching on the plant instead of just smoking it.



Btw Zigs what a delight, totally made me hungry :grinjoint:

Thats was really good! Thank you. :thanks: Ive seen a video of bubbleman..he was making hash in his hash washing machine..pretty cool. :thumb:
 
Well, its time! :)
My next grow is being Plotted!.....(yes, a new journal will be started for it too, this one is too busy :), but Im having fun, and learning LOTS!)

Enter Evil Laugh Voice: "Muwahahahahahahahahhaha!"

My new 4x4 gorilla Lite tent is now scheduled for tues delivery. :) I was hoping for yesterday, last week but...:)
My Doc Buds HB soil is ready..The main grow theme is going to be using recycled HB soil, and NOT on a tiered/untilled previous grows' root ball and soil. We will see about spacing.
Im am planning on 4 strains, ALL ACE seeds(aceseeds.org), in 4 x 10 gal softees with 3 plants, located equal distant (Remember HS Geometry, trisecting a circle??? :rofl:
How to Trisect a Circle With a Compass :) )per softee, upcanned only from a small pot.
They will be grown with the same light schedule 11/13(11 On/13 Off) from seed, as this one is. :thumb:
Im thinking I should do 3 of the SAME seeds per softee(in case a doode shows his face; Hes then outta there) for grow rates..or maybe group similar flowering ranges and grow a variety in same pot? -But, what if the girls dont get along?? :)
Seeds..here are the ACE seeds im deciding on..
All seeds are REGULAR or as ACE calls them, STANDARD. I never grew ACE seeds before.
All are Sativa or Sativa Dominate
Seed name (Flowering time according to ACE )

Purple Haze (16-20 wks)
Golden Tiger (11-14 wks)
Panama (9-12 wks) *
Zamaldelica (11-14 wks) *
Purple Malawi (11-14 wks, ACE has only feminized listed now)
ACE Mix -( pot luck :)) Standard (8-10 wks)
ACE Mix -( pot luck :)) Tropical (12-16 wks)

* Definite!! :)

So, your input would be greatly appreciated. :)
