Learn And Grow With Amos: A Pharmacy Garden For Emotional Healing


Hey everyone hope we’re all good at this midweek point 🤟

Had an enforced darkness last night in the tent. Was waiting for payday today, electric was due to run out at 2:30am and really didn’t want to be out and about trying to find somewhere open (it’s a bit like Mad Max where I live after dark 😂)

So just a little over 24 hours in darkness before resuming.

I’ve had it worse where I’ve had to take grows down halfway through and have them stashed in the back of a van for 2 days and not really noticed a problem. That was photos too so with the autos untouched in the tent think they’ll be ok.

Can definitely see the damage that was done overwatering nearly 2 weeks ago, used the old adage of “leave the leaf” as it’s an indicator to whether the problem is getting worse.

All new growth and buds look like they’re filling out nicely and no more mellow yellow. Wish they all looked like plant at the top right but haven’t had them out to have a look at individually. Think I might have some contenders there

Will be at the end of week 6 starting week 7 Friday. I’m going to follow the science from @InTheShed and not flush these even though it goes against 17-18 years growing 😂

Little update on the pharmacy and well-being side of things.

I’m back on the tablets. Thought it was all going ok until I got into parking wars with a builder doing work in my block.

After a morning of thinking of how I’m going to dispose of his body realised it’s probably a good idea if I stay on them and not try to play shaman with shrooms 😂😂😂
 


those jars won't quite seal as much as you want. longer term storage needs something that won't allow outside air and pathogens in. those are fine for jam in the fridge, but fall down fast if you need to store for any time. treat your harvest well. there's a good one brewing.

you really want a mason or other type of sealer jar. jars with a sealer ring are best, there are some mason type jars with a single piece top, those are ok too, but i'd only use them a few times as the seal top will deteriorate. i often re-use pasta sauce jars that come in masons with the single top.

wash with a liberal amount of liquid laundry detergent instead of dish soap. it will remove even trichomes welded to the glass sides. i usually will put a few oz of laundry soap in to the jar, fill 3/4 with hot water, cap, and shake. then wash with jar brush as normal.

Hey Bluter pleased to have you here mate.

I’ve not done bad with them before. It’s all about cost at the moment mate, looking at £10.00-£15.00 per mason jar and I’m going to need a hella jars (9-12)

And tbf they won’t be in there long, more about storage and de-smelling. Last one will probably be 2 months old by time I smoke it

But food for thought, thank you mate 🙏I’ve used mason jars before and not noticed that much of a difference. I’ve got a vacuum packer if I want to store anything longer than a couple of months but hopefully won’t need it 👊

where the hell are you buying these gold plated mason jars ? :cheesygrinsmiley:

i've literally got racks of the things unopened since i over bought at canning season last yr when they were on sale.
a dozen quart size wound up at $1cad each or $12. quart size - 750 - 1000ml - are about perfect.

i'm thinking you may get more than what you estimate. it's a good idea to plan for longer term storage if you intend to do consecutive grows.

after cure it takes a min of 1 month jarred solid to cure in without opening. the jam jar type lids can't hold it.

it's all about the cure. that takes a bit more time.

those are ok. but not perfect if just doing loose bud. look in to cob curing if you have a vacuum packer.
 
I’ve had a look online mate, the difference in air pressure contained is really not that different between the two. There’s a wider rim on mason jars and that bit of rubber but both used for exactly the same thing. Canning and preserving jam/fruit. Just seems to be horses for courses

Like I said I’ve used both sets before and not really noticed any difference. I used to get my best curing results in an old painters bucket with a seal lid.

I’ve gone with the jam jars so I don’t offend anyone here with the bucket method 😂

Will have a look at the cob curing, I’ve never heard of it before 👍🤟🙏

I'm intrigued now.
What country you might be in.
I remember my grannies in Ireland you had to put change in the meter to get electricity.
Otherwise you run out.

And Mad Max yeiks.:oops:
Hope your safe my friend

Out of the cooler 😁✊ will update this evening. Hope we are all well
Omg! Welcome back!

I tried to smuggle you in a file to help break you out, but Teddy frisked me and found it! Not that I’m complaining. That Mod frisks better than Brad Pitt on date night ;)

So glad you’re back.

🤩🤩🤩

I legit better for seeing you back.

I’m all good in da hood bloke.

Where’s some pics? Or did you fuck em without us holding your hand?
 

@Trala this angle is their good side.

Up top looks meh but got some shine on the buds



I’ve taken one down. The one in the top left of previous pics that I severely overwatered. Plant was dying, yellow started way too early. Think I’ve got about 10-14 grams off it when dried of I’m lucky 👇


Plants as a whole look 55-60% done. Some could go down tonight but I know that’s just itchy trimmer fingers ✂️

Going 2 nights of darkness from tomorrow just to speed them up. Have got a nice bit of shine on some. Getting ready for the next round too 🥸
 
Good morning :)

Your harvest looks okay. Something is always better than nothing.

I struggle at flower too. I veg like a Viking and flower like a fucktard.

Lolling!
Lol speak for yourself, I don’t struggle at flower 😂 made a mistake with the overwatering. Starting to wish I hadn’t come back 😜

I think I’ll be surprised with final weight still. 9 plants in there so should count for something. I’ve took the worst one down so things can only get better ☝️🤞

My mistake. You ace flower. I defs don’t.

Good luck with the rest of them :)

You flower just fine 😁 Not saying it’s pretty. It’s been hand to hand fighting in the trenches to get to the end of this grow

Once I snipped away all the dead looking stuff clinging on, there was some decent looking bud underneath and I’m happy with the eye-weight of the 2 I took down last night 🤘🙏

Thank you very much Bill, I’m doing fine thank you mate.

Hope you and yours are well too. Cannot wait to see what you’ve got coming up in your journal 🙏
