Shed mentioned the DDA mishap so he didn’t get any of the DDA crosses I’ve made, some of which are good mellow autos. I liked DDA for edibles and tinctures as well.I’ve got one DDA seed left and am not a big fan of the smoke either. I like to decarb it and make a tincture with everclear. 1ml in my morning coffee is what my doctor prescribed.
Interesting info Caddie! As long as you're getting some use out of it that's a good thing, and I've got more than a few seeds in my collection I feel no compulsion to grow. Eventually they'll find a good home.
You definitely made an excellent choice to skip the mellow autos. The tolerance level in my family is off the charts!
Thanks Bode! I definitely had too much time on my hands with no plants growing, so I hope this grow isn't too laid back.
Me and Caddie I guess, but that's what makes horse races!
Thanks! I started with a matchbox, but first time a seed flew out (never to be seen again) I went to something that snapped closed.
Oh you poor thing! I'm glad you had another variety on hand then.
Than that one for sure!

Also, you'll quote anything won'tcha?

lined with fine grit sandpaper. Then shake the bajesus out of them for a couple of minutes. lol CL
LOL thanks Lerugged!
That would be unusual for me and autos but I'll take it.

Those two autos are tickling my fancy Shed! Nice picks!Damn! Sorry I forgot to visit my own thread for so long, but that's about to change. Why? Because having nothing growing other than Grandpa's Moonshine clones that I don't need isn't working for me, and since I'm not going to make it to NY this winter (again) I decided to get a couple of beans going. update
What kind of beans? Autos!
That's right, autos. I thought I'd use the tent and the oil-filled heater from the shed and see how I can do with some quality auto beans (mostly) indoors this winter. I had given away all of my auto seeds to a member-in-need a couple of years ago, but as luck would have it the Pacific Northwest Seed Fairy happened to be driving by and dropped off some of his autoflower genetics.
I had choices to make, so I went with one that no one here has grown out yet and one because I liked the name.
One is Queen G auto, which is a cross between Dr Wookies x Triangle Kush x Mephisto Pink Livers (Dr Wookies is a cross of Wookies x Cannabiogen Destroyer for those keeping score at home).
The other is Ruby Tuesday auto, which is a cross of Cannabiogen Destroyer x Triangle Kush.
I scuff all my seeds in a mini Altoids tin lined with sandpaper:
After a few minutes of shaking, they go into bowls with one third 3% H2O2 and two thirds distilled water, where they sit with paper towels on top to keep them wet all around:
Labeled!
After about 15 minutes of that I dump out most of the mix and replace it with just distilled water, slide the bowls into a box, and put it on the heat mat at 80ºF:
No tails this morning but it was only 12 hours.
I'll run these at either 20/4 or 18/6 in the tent under the Mars Hydro SP 250, and maybe get them out in the sun for some days once they're in flower. It doesn't get very warm in my house during the winter (never above 70ºF) but I'll do lights off in the afternoon when it will probably be the warmest in that room.
Wish me luck!

Thanks Scottay!
Thanks double H, and I completely forgot.I doubt anyone will do a rip-off though since barely anyone makes salve!
It's going to be interesting to see those numbers, and if you grew more than one and have an extra $10 around, it would be interesting to see if they're the same!
What Azi said 100%. Grow indivual THC and CBD varieties and blend to the correct effect when used.
I still have CBG flower around so I'm going to see how that works mixed in with the THC flower.
Energy! Relax! Take me home!
Always glad to give you a needed kick in the tush.
I just made another 70 capsules this weekend!

Tough crowd!
Good luck!
I’m really trying but it’s not ez, especially after eating or with my morning coffeeHappy Wednesday update all! 24 hours after dropping the seeds in water, this is about the best you can ask for:
Nice tails! So into the peat pucks they went. I cut open the bottom of the wrapping on my pucks before I drop the seeds in, and I cut them off completely when I plant them.
Takes a second, lasts a lifetime!
Then they got placed into the Shoebox of Light® which sits on the heatmat:
My desklamp fits right in there, and the 23w CFL puts out a nice level of heat from above:
Jesus, can't anyone get any privacy?
I keep my pucks moist until I see the seedling pop up, and the temp gauge lets me know if I'm close to my 80º target. And now we wait.

️. I had quit smoking for 3 months until I started working with my old boss. Everyone else was taking cig breaks but me. Him telling me that you don’t smoke 
. That was all it took to get me smoking again. Stupid, I know but it pissed me off. CL
Thanks Otter! They're both supposed to lean sativa so they filled the bill there.
IKR? Only two varieties have ever gotten a meh review: DDA and Durban Poison.
Beep beep...
Thanks GDB!I'm sure it's incredibly hard to quit between the nicotine (as addictive as heroin) and the habits we form around it (like coffee), but I hope you find a way to scroll it back.I’m really trying but it’s not ez, especially after eating or with my morning coffee ️.

and good health to you Captain!Thanks HG! No SIPs for these, they'll be in 5 or 7 gallon cloth pots with FF Happy Frog. Since they're autos (with no time to correct any stalls), I wouldn't want to take a chance. I know it can be done with autos (and done well as @LKABudMan immediately comes to mind), but if I decide to do any more SIP testing, it would be with photos.
Thanks HG! I'm sure it can be done, but the idea that it could be done by me seems far-fetched at this stage.
Thanks for that informationThanks HG! I'm sure it can be done, but the idea that it could be done by me seems far-fetched at this stage.
on smoking Shedster 
. I’m going to call 
my doctor tomorrow morning about a prescription for that medicine 
for nicotine cessation. CL. 
I did an auto SIP and got about 3.5 oz so just know that can be done as wellThanks HG! I'm sure it can be done, but the idea that it could be done by me seems far-fetched at this stage.

You've got this Cap. I finally forced myself to quit two years ago when one of my best friends died of lung cancer. Get that Wellbutrin or whatever they prescribe, and bite the bullet. The first three days are hell. The fourth it starts easing. You can do it!Thanks for that information
