Newty’s Perpetual Pantry Party & Outdoor Grow Show

Excellent write-up for a marvelous care package!

Well Thank you!! My mind is finally clear and I felt the urge to write it down here. Its hard to express Yourself in words sometimes... and sometimes I can write it down ^^
 
Hey wow nice work here! I have a question about defol. I see you did one recently and i've seen a lot of people do it like that: leave it to grow early without trimming and then just strip it down to one fan leaf per branch later on.. Seems to work great. When I've done it I did it gradually over time, I didn't take leaves that didn't overlap. And leaves that I was going to cut I cut early.. stuff like that trying to limit the damage.. Was that just crazy? Your way seems better do you know why?

It's like @Preston9mm says. You can be pretty hard on the leaves. They will take it. I defoil over time as well. One thing you should take in mind is that it usually take at least 24h for the plant to fully recover from the defoil to get in the same growing speed as it had before your did it. So cutting everyday isn't the optimal either. @newty knows more about this I think, when you should start doing it and when not to do it. :cool:

I’m a big fan of Defoiling plants throughout their life to increase health benefits, increased yield, also to increase airflow and reduce risk of mould. I would suggest doing a little at a time when they are old enough and see how the plant reacts? Each plant is different and I’m learning autos take a bit more time to recover so any heavy defoil needs to be strategic.

To Defoil or not to Defoil???
I defoliate my plants all through their life. I tend to do 2 “strategic” defoils in my plants life cycle. I do a big defoil a few days before flip and one after the 3 week stretch is done. I do this for a couple of reasons;

1. I use the leaves to make fan leaf oil for me and my friends. (I separate veg/frost leaves)

2. As a gardener, I am a natural plucker and defoil my plants and flowers regularly. I see great results in regards to yield from doing this. When I started growing cannabis, I never thought twice about using this practice. I have read lots of information on here and other sources with regards to when I should be doing this in their life. Experimenting has been fun, I’ve gone waaaay too extreme!! Ha! Now I know what “too far” is and that’s no good.

I know now that there are certain points in the plants life where a heavy defoil really works for me for a couple of reasons.

I like to thin out my plants before flip because of the heavy vegetation they throw out during stretch. I find them easier to manage this way in my small tent, rh airflow etc. I “lollipop” and really clear out the bottom and centre leaves. I schedule it for a few days up to a week before I change the light cycle to allow them plenty of recovery time. I leave them alone for the 3ish weeks of stretch. Once my plants stop stretching, they are an overwhelming bush. This is when I do the last strategic defoil, leaving the top half for the most part but cleaning up the lollipop as well as clearing out the middle leaves. They don’t grow much vegetation after stretch and mainly focus on buddage by this point so I feel like I’m helping them be the best buds they can;) My plants have all reacted positively and usually bounce back within a day so far, remember I am using Coco coir and the bounce back for soil is not as quick.
 
Well If you ask.... lol

Before we jump to the report i would like to tell you once again How much This package thing is boosting my spirit! Preparing it is so Damn funny cause i kinda know the face that comes with it.

So on to my awesome morning experience...

I was sleeping when Someone was at the door. The Nice penetrating doorbell made me wonder who was there... there was a lovely blonde woman at the door with a very interesting looking package. To paint a picture for ya: me and mornings are not the best friends and my morning look is like hair all over the place, eyes hardly open and a face that People wonder What happend at This time a day.. She handed me a package after a weird looking stare competition(What was that woman thinking?!) I smiley very wide and wished her a blessed day!

It was the freaking care package that was just send a week ago or not even by Newty! Holy moly!!!

My morning turned around and all This lovely goods made me smile A LOT! After testing my first capsule’s I took “Some” oil in my coffee while vid calling my twinnie! Newty told me to try 1 ML oil in the coffee. Its Avocado oil and it stays liquid. That Also means it comes out of a suringe way easyer! So I ended Up with Chocolate Mint OG Capsules and 2-3ML-ish oil in my coffee...
As a chronic pain patiënt and chronic sleep disorder my head is always in chaos and in stress. Anxious 80% of the time even...
Dear Dear Newty... I feel NORMAL after your oil! Not normal like i dont feel anything but normal like calm and relaxed. Stress is like wayyyyy over there..If anyone has the chance to get a grip of that oil... I would Bring a oil barrel or so:circle-of-love:

Oh besides the oil there was infused honey, a brownie, cookies, a lighter, insense, stickers(my freaking first!) and way more good stuff!!!
Have a great evening sis, you rocked mine!:cheer::thanks::hugs:

YAhoooooooo! I cannot believe how fast it got there, the lady at the post must have sent it rush by mistake or she liked me:) Ha We had a great convo at the post so perhaps that helped speed things along.

OUTSTANDING REVIEW

This makes me incredibly happy to know that it has helped you as much as it has. NORMAL is how I feel when I take my oil so I am glad that it effects you similar. I have pretty bad anxiety and do not know what I would do with out my oils. I have heard a similar smoke report from my friends; "It makes me calm but chatty, no social anxiety and euphoria" which is my favourite and what others sometimes refer to as emotional or your weed makes me want to ponder life and dance at the same time, maybe shed a tear LOL!

I cannot wait for you to try the honey:)

Enjoy all your Sativa fun:D

Thanks for chiming in, always welcome! Its definitely a feeling for me now to know when to cut and when to tuck;)
 
@newty you never know what people are capable of when they are standing with a scissor in their hands.... :D

Dancing... that's good workout. I just come back from the cabin now have been watering for over and hour now... god its hot and dry hear now. We haven't got any rain for over a month now I believe.

My buds are really fattening up now. Going to take a spliff in the tent now with them and maybe post some pics later.

Its amazing What our oils can do for Sure! I Didnt take anything today because I already popped a cmog cap before I realized it lol. Tomorrow Will be about the cookie. Lets see What it Will Bring me.

The avocado oil is ordered for the caps It Will keep me from heating it to make it liquid and that might be exactly enough time extra to complete the caps.(Some of em already started to disolve because of the heating probably.

Your package is ready to ship back, just Could not make it to the post office today. Tomorrow is a brand new dat and we Will try again. I’ll make Sure to flirt with whoever is behind that deal to get a free fast ship, or Didnt you do it like that?:rofl:


Have a great evening twinnie and dont forget to get oily today!

Oh btw we Will try the honey when ms spirit is off her meds from the surgery. The one that keeps has something for a rainy day. Mostly Its just sunny at spirits town LoL
 
Looking for advice about edibles....
A buddy of mine stopped by today (He's my savior) dropped off some herb for me and gave me a 10mg gummy to try out. My wife doesn't like smoking and wants to eat this squishy little fucker. We dont ever get "store bought" edibles down here, so I'm clueless about the dose I consume in my homemade shit. Anyhow.... I've been dying to get stoned with my wife but do not want her to have a bad experience...she'd never try it again. So, half gummy or you think the whole one will be fine? She could care less about being "stoned" but would really enjoy some relaxed muscles & a good sleep.

Whaddya think?
 
I’d do half a gummy and if it isn’t enough after a couple of hours she can eat the other half.
That's what I was thinking. Next harvest trim is dedicated solely to making her edibles.... if she enjoys this.
She does physical work too, so she comes home just as sore & beat up as I do. I know she sure could use it. We've smoked in the past, but she really dislikes smoking it. I think she will enjoy the "body" high much better. Fingers crossed.... mother of 3 stress is a killer!
 
I have stopped saving the trim. Have close to none possibility to get 96% prof alcohol here. Think the strongest you can buy over counter here is like 45%. Got hold of some MD grade 96% a while back witch I tried making some vape oil, but I'm unsure if there is some kind of residue from something in the alcohol mixture. Didn't feel pleasant att all vaping it. RDA atomizer. :rolleyes:

I hate throwing it away but I feel I got enough weed to get by anyway, but it would be fun to throw together some gummys. :p
 
Hellleeeeerrr:D

Busy day at Newty’s place!

Speaking of fresh/frozen trim, I have a roaster full of sugar leaves, frosty trim and flarf from 2 squished large ziplocks in my freezer. Can you believe I am finally out of newty juice and I always do big batches!

No need for alcohol in this recipe and squishing for dabs is a great option.

I make edible oil. I collect mine from both Swaggs and my past harvests. All squished together! I took them out to thaw this morning and the two bags filled my big turkey roaster. I put the lid on and in the oven for 45 at 240. I let it cool completely and lower the oven to 180

I added 4.5 cups of coconut oil and 4 tspn of sunflower lecithin. I mashed it up real good. For reference I only use enough oil to make the mixture juicy but not soaking. I like mine potent because I use to make my gingies and man the kids love those gingies! I also save some to make chocolates and of course my morning canna lattes;)

I mash up every hour and cook about 3 -4 hours. Cook longer for more of a sleepy knock out effect. Up to 12 hours I think some people do.
I’ll grab a couple shots of it here!

@Preston9mm 10mg is a pretty low dose but if it’s her first time, I’d tell her to try half and do the other half in 2 hours. #whatpwsaid
