Hi OMM, I was gonna ask how Christmas went but I can see it went absolutey fantastic.:cool:

Nice to see you have turned into a serial chopper, lol.
Rose and Mary fill a box quite nicely, and Tad is doing a fine job on her own. Nice trim, looks like you will pull at least 4 ounces dry, probably better and Joanne is still hanging in. She must be a little nervous after seeing what you did to her sisters, heheh.
You did a fine job finishing those girls, congratulations sir. Some very nice colas boxed up, I'm impressed.
I imagine the finger hash smelled out of this world. Thats one of my all time favorite smells. As good as it smoked, just think of it with a nice cure. Those sisters are gonna reward you with a lot of meds.
Can't wait to see how Joanne does.

Wonderful grow OMM, old dogs CAN learn new tricks.

Hey Buddy your right about my Xmas, its been wonderful. :grinjoint:
Joanne is really putting on weight trying to be a good girl and impress me,
but she hasn't got a chance. I discovered a real chopper instinct in myself.:popcorn: I'll throw up some pictures of her later today.
The real Joanne wont even come in the room now. Tells me it stinks :surf:
Like you I love the smell. The girls are drying much quicker than I thought they would. On to the real cure soon. This old dog has out done himself in his own eyes. Guess we old farts can learn a few new tricks.:cheertwo:

Got to clean up the room today. Bits of green leaves everywhere.:rollit:

Now I know why the leftover's from the vape get me so high. Thanks. More experimenting with the vape. It's a shame they don't get hot enough. Now they tell us!:grinjoint: :smokin2:

I hope joanne impresses the hell outof you, heheh. The real Joanne will have to get used to that lovely stink.
Probably a lot of shrinkage as they dry but thats the way it goes. You'll still have good weight tho. Are the buds airy? That type seems to dry pretty quickly.

Yeah the vapir doesn't get hot enough apparently. The Volcano models do get the temps needed but at those high temps the vapor would be pretty thick. I suppose it would still be easier on the lungs than smoking but I can't justify the cost of the volcano's. I can afford it I just don't want to pay it. The pipe still works fine and the vape is good for dys when I need to actually accomplish something.
Looking forward to Joannes final act.
 
Day 92 of Bloom


Here is Joanne puttin on some weight.:surf:

Little Bud Porn.:clap::clap:

And now my old pipe. It's hand carved form bamboo. A local guy I was smoking with one day just up and gave it to me. I was speechless. He said he had many more he had made and was glad to give it too me. That was 20 years ago. It's beat up and been repaired many times, but still gets the job done.
It is now back in use since we found out that vapes do not get hot enough to really burn the THC like it should be burned. Works really well,:grinjoint:

Hope this finds all of you well and happy. :peace::peace:

OMM,
Great haul so far. I am also guess over 2oz's dry weight. Here that would be $500-$600 worth of bud plus the hash trimmings. I would say it was worth the effort for sure.

Hey Man, you are so right I have saved more than that here. Sure was/is worth the effort.

Found a new hydro store here today, it just opened. It also carries soil stuff too. And all the nutes I've read about here on 420. It was like being in a candy store.
I also met a mmj lady grower. She was having trouble, so I told her about 420. If she checks in her name will be "Helpless in Hawaii". I'll watch for her and giver a big 420 welcome. I sure love 420.:cheertwo:

Hi Buddy. Thank you :grinjoint: She should be ready soon.:grinjoint:
I've been following your grow too. Never said anything, because you are doing so good. :cheertwo: :welcome:

We live and learn:grinjoint: At a cost I might add. The Volcano is not in my plans ever. you can get a whole lot of seeds for that amount of money. :grinjoint:
Yep, your right the buds are airy, so that helps them to dry, but it also means less weight. At this point I'm just happy to have them at all. :peace:
 
Lovely lady you got there. Looks like its putting on some nice buds. That pipe is amazing and I am sure it has some wonderful stories to tell after all that time. I wish I kept all my old pipe in bongs over the years, but no such luck. Great pipe, I want one. + rep

Hope Joanne packs on the beef for you and the "real one".
Love the pipe. I've always liked bamboo pipes and bongs. Smoother than glass IMO. I don't buy into the bamboo being bad for your lungs crap. Breathing these days is bad for your lungs. You'll notice in the last shot of hash making on my thread there is a nice big bamboo pipe named
The Bamberiboo as opposed to a Didgeridoo lol. I got myself a vape, a Vaporite Nano which is supposed to be pretty good and goes to about 395F or 200C but it hasn't really impressed me. I just don't get that hit like with a one hit bong. It's a totally different stone IMO similar to digestion.:peace:

Hi Sonzor She thanks you for the compliments::hippy:

Your right about the pipe. Many stories to tell of good times and now its gonna bring in some more good times. The dude that made it and I bump into each about once a year. If I see him I'll try to get you one. :popcorn:
Thanks for the + rep. :peace:

Hi groover I did see your Big Bamboo pipe and I thought to myself "now that will give you a knock out hit".:grinjoint: About the name, lets just say lmao. The Vape. Bad news! There is a just released report that Vapes just don't get hot enough to really release all the good things in our weed. Should be in the range of 485 degrees. Only one does that, The Volcano and they are expensive. Now I know why the left over debris in the vape get you really high when smoked in a pipe. It kind of cleans it up for you.:grinjoint:
More like indigestion :peace: Hope all is well in BumFuck West. :ganjamon:

I still like the vape for days when I should be a little more productive. It's not a waste of money imo, just not quite as effective as I thought it might be. Still very useful.
You are going to do great on weight whether there's a lot of shrinkage or not. Pleasant surprise in store for you I think. The main thing is you finished with a good crop and you are happy with the result. You can worry about increasing yield next grow. Just imagine where they would be if they hadn't had that time indooors to stunt them. Gonna be sweet. Great job OMM and Joanne is still geting fatter. It's all good.:nicethread:

Cool pipe btw, shows a little history. I like it.
 
well done OMM, im glad the grow is paying off. those buds look mighty delicious.... they look good enough to eat... omm nom nomm... lol
