You got that right...getting really stinky. But it won't be empty for long! The next round will be the Mother grow...if it works out it might be the mother of a thousand grows!
Fun stuff!

Yeah, averages 2 pounds, some of which I donate in small amounts to people who need it, and some I smoke for my own medical benefit. (I have a really bad foot)
About making hash. First, let me say I always liked hash. Especially back in the 70's and 80's. It was hard to find and priceless to break out, everybody would gasp then smile huge and settle down to smoke all you had.
So when I started growing again a couple years ago I figured here was my chance to make hash and all that stuff. But I knew nothing about most of it nor how to extract.
In the past 12 months, I have explored and experienced the entire spectrum of concentrates...from first tinctures, then cannabutter, to brownies and cookies, to vape oil...first VG/PG, then looking at BHO and on and on, finally realizing the technology to do CO2 extraction is he only way, that's the purest oil of all and it's like the filet mignon of dope...
And after an entire year of experiencing all of it, shatter, wax, budder, bubble hash, concentrates in all forms, I have found I still like smoking flower best by far.
To my surprise I really don't like the vape buzz. It's different, and it makes me a bit less steady. I can shoot even par on the golf course smoking my best buds, really high as hell. On the finest vape oil, I can't. More physical effects for me. It's just not the same and I don't care for it as much.
We went to the Journey concert a couple weeks ago and I hit the hell out of this sweet vape pen direct from Denver. The stuff was like, 90% or something ridiculous. Pure CO2 and I can understand why people love concentrates after that night, I was cooked like a lobster from hitting that thing the whole night. But it still isn't as good, to me, even though it's more intense. Maybe that's it, maybe I only like a baby buzz but let me tell you I can smoke with the best of them and 40 years of getting high don't lie so I don't think I'm a lightweight.
I also tried all kinds of edibles. The idea of eating a cookie and having a nice buzz is cool. I really thought for awhile I would become a brownie guy, making brownies and being nicely high all day. Then once I was finally able to do it I found that the edible buzz was also way too long and too strong for my taste. When I burn a J I'm basically back to normal in 60-90 minutes. Being powerfully high for basically the entire day is too much for me, at least, I can't do it very often.
Finally, making hash is simply too great a reduction...I would rather have the buds than the resulting amount of hash no matter how good it is. I still love it but only real hash made overseas seems to have the flavor and aroma of the hash I remember from way back when. When some of that comes along I will be a taker for sure.
So, in the end, making a concentrate myself just isn't my preference. Guess I'll keep being the friendly med man with the pretty flowers...
Pass the hash!

I couldn't agree with u better. Edibles have me high wayy too long. Vaping causes headaches if done too much. Bt smoking the flowers all day is the best feeling to me! Awesome garden. Would love to have a few of your seeds in my garden they look lovely and I loved both of the strains I've grown from ripper seeds. Keep up the good work!

Thanks bro.
Though everyone has their preference...mine is the sweet smoke from a big fat J.
If all goes as planned there will be some really killer seeds in a few months. I will definitely be offering some to all my friends here. Stay tuned!
Peace, Hyena
Hey HM,
Such an uplifting part of the day, to get caught up on your journal. I think you have the most interesting journal at 420 Magazine. I will agree that smoking a joint to me is the best experience also. Haven't tried to much stuff, but haven't had the desire, as long as I have enough homegrown stash.
I would love to grow a few seeds if you're offering some time. I'm planning one (4 plants) grow inside after summer is over. Trying to get some White Widow seeds and Purple Haze seeds using Silver Thiosulfate.
Love your Journal and your Grow results!!

Thank so much my friend! You are very kind.
Regarding concentrates, even though it has so far turned out that they're not for me, I understand their appeal...convenient, fast-acting, discreet, easy to carry and work with, broad diversity of forms, etc., etc.,
But it ain't the same.
The aroma and the taste is my favorite thing and IMHO flower beats all other forms of cannabis in that aspect. A frosty, fruity bud, whether skunk or diesel, is a complex, exotic treat for the senses.
Smoking a tasty bud I feel a natural connection to the flower, the plant, and the earth.
That connection is even more powerful now that I help create that flower.
And I will give second place to real imported blonde hash. That taste is pretty special too.
Peace, Hyena
Hope you don't mind I take a peek.. I've grown a Blue Dream variant from SO seed acouple three times.... And always found them exttremely stable.. Hope you don't mind I ask,,, I never learnd to read.. But these are all from the same parentage? I mean two totaly different phenos.. Can I ask the breeder? I've found,, least in my opion, I don't do well with most sativas.. I mean I have problems gettinng a buzz off the best weed I've grown in the last 10 years.. Yea I do smoke to much but mostly I got use to the harder drugs.. Kind of screwed me,, here I get off all,, cept a RX, and not I just don't get high.. The typical sativa is one I always concideredthe mellower of the two. Well I don't knock a good sativa,, I don't think you'll find a better taste then a haze influance over 99% of the indica profile. But I've always loved the way those foxtails get. I've seen em get as big as a real fox tail. Now that story about sativas is me as known,, I hope she turns out well for ya... BTW some pretty ass pictures. And Pretty ass subjects.. Keepem Green

Wow looks amazing! By the way Blue Heyena and Black Heyena are starting out strong!Happy Friday!
When I went in the secret grow lab today I got out the microscope and yes, starting to get amber trichomes.
Time to chop!
Probably 10-20% amber-ish. Definitely coming down soon.
The produce is pretty solid...
Lots of biggies back in the back, I can't reach them but I can see them all kind of lining the back wall...some really nice chunkers...
The tall phenos are like furry tails...
You can see the difference between the back-building I did on a couple of these, versus the one in front (no back build).
Back building gets a total thumbs up!
Meanwhile, the new girls are banging on the nursery door, they want out! Got to somehow find time to sneak up here and begin harvesting. Hope I can get some...somehow.
Exciting? Yep!!

Thank you very much.
I'm the breeder...my three different Hyenas (Blue, Black, and White) are all descendants of a White Widow, a Widow Mix, an Amnesia Haze, and a Blue Dream.
In various combinations.
I used to be a professional photographer. But believe it or not, I take all my grow pictures with a Samsung phone.
Weed is just so photogenic.
Peace, Hyena
Them damn phone sure come along ways then because your shot are pretty damn good. I need lessons on using my damn camera. But I hope you have a Happy Easter Keepem Green

LOL. You have that room hidden in the house? Not bad Heisenberg. Wondering how this can be hidden

Attic.
It's hard to get up there so unless I set the house on fire nobody is going to find it.
The hardest part is getting chances to visit it.
Always fingers crossed...of course.
Shhhh.Peace, Hyena

Because...it's a secret.
Even my wife doesn't know.
Keep it to yourself, eh?
Thanks!
