I used the weight of a wire hook to LST Latrice's second leader - a gentler bend.

Latrice Royale spread every which way to allow Ghita and Georgia near the light.

Glad i have a couple of months to watch your grow then, Rad. Sorry to be nosey, but have you decided where you are moving? The Pacific North West will welcome you with open arms should you choose to venture this way. ;)

At this point we are headed to an undisclosed location in the MidWest. It's just cheaper there. There are family and friends there.

I was born in the Pacific North West. I have close relatives in Washington, Oregon, and California.

I have been to at least 50% of the National Parks on the Pacific Coast of the lower 48 states and 20% of the inland National Parks.

The National Parks are free this week.
 
Flowering Room Update


Today I cleaned most of the SWICK, moving several cubic feet of used perlite out into a 'garden patch' outside.
As long as I was moving all the plants, I took photos under the trimming light in the basement.

I'm not really advertising UHaul here - it so turns out that their boxes are as cheap as anyone's
boxes. They are through the woods and over the river :) - 2 blocks as the crow flies from our house.

Having had a 420 toke and seeing a strain name of LSD, I was prompted to share a few thoughts - reposted here :)



Chemically, the synthetic hallucinogen created by Dr. Albert Hoffman, LSD (Lysergic Acid Diethylamide) is very similar to LSA (Lysergic Acid Amide), a chemical occurring naturally in Morning Glory flowers. Morning Glory seeds have a history of hallucinogenic use in Mexico.

Although synthesized in 1938, the first reports of LSD intentionally used as a hallucinogen by Dr. Albert Hoffmann are dated to 4/19, 1943 (73 years ago yesterday.)

After this first acid trip, Abbie Hoffman refocussed his research directions towards investigated Psylocybin, Moring Glory and other natural hallucinogens.


According to famliy lore on my stepchildren's side, in 1946-47 Timothy Leary was in possession of a significant amount LSD prepared by a Mexican chemist and brought back to the USA by an importer along with Central American artifacts located in the Boston Museum of Fine Arts America's Wing. Timothy Leary, the Importer, and Billy Graham partook of said LSD together.

After this religous experience, Billy Graham dedicating his life to Christian Evangelism which led to his world-wide renown.


In 1962 Timothy Leary, led Boston University Theology students in an investigation of the psylocibin mushroom known as The Marsh Chapel Experiment (Marsh Chapel is the church in the center of the Boston University campus.)

Interviewed many years later, many of the former theology students, including those working as professional ministers, identified The Marsh Chapel Experiment as the most significant religious experience of their lives.

:thumb: Never taken LSD before. I have done salvia divinorum one time. I filmed it too. It was a jaw dropping 2 minute trip that I will never forget. I could only imagine that same trip happening for hours. It did change my perspective greatly though.

Salvia Divinorum sounds interesting to me. I have no interest in trying LSD. The thoughts were prompted by the cannabis strain LSD (Barney's Farm?)
The randomness of the thoughts are from my home grown Caramelicious (Amsterdam Seed Company) :)

Wait.... Billy Graham had a lsd session with Timothy Leary?!?!
Oh yea I'm off to dig... never ran into that info before.

Let me know if you find anything. This is family lore, from one who was there. That one was a realiable source. He had stories that if you saw them in a movie you would say "No way did that happen!" His life would make for a very interesting movie.

This is the first time I have grown ONLY flowering girls.

There are many who love the flowering phase. I find it boring.
I have to force myself to look in on the girls once a day - sometimes I skip a day.
 
But they may have been floating in some related circles.
Some words from Frank Schaeffer....

"At that moment the Schaeffers were evangelical royalty. When I was growing up in L’Abri, my parents’ religious community in Switzerland, it was not unusual to find myself seated across the dining room table from Billy Graham’s daughter or President Ford’s son, even Timothy Leary. The English actress Glynis Johns used to come for Sunday high tea. I figured it was normal. They were just a few of the thousands who made it through our doors. Only later did I realize that L’Abri attracted a weirdly eclectic group of people who otherwise would not be caught dead in the same room. My childhood was, to say the least, unusual."
 
Hey bro, any move is scary; with plants. We moved into our home about two years ago. The house closed late. I had to move my overgrown mothers in the back of a Lexus 400-something SUV. I lost my Humbolt Purple Kush mother (wasn't a good yielder) and my awesome Medicann Blue Blood.

I tried re-veging the P-K. Tried, tried, and tried. Still have some in the veg tents but it's a lost cause. I had a good Pheno of Blue blood. Right when they came out...20=25%THC, 10-15% CBD. That particular one was a nice pheno.

Long story short, that mamma died in our move. Bought a new seed and it was a total different pheno. To the point that I don't grow it anymore.

My advice, trim your mothers down and over water them before the move. I literally moved 3 miles away and there was no other stress. Lost some good Phenos. Don't want that to happen to you.
 
Thanks for the thought Josh, but I won't be transporting any plants in a 2-day move across several state lines except for a 50 year old schefflera and a couple of aloe plants. I haven't any rare genetics except for the locally bred Tangerine Dream.

For security purposes, I will be establishing myself as an indoor/outdoor herb and flower gardener before introducing special seeds to the grow.

A house we are seriously looking at includes a hot tub and an above ground pool - a hot tub explains away kilowatts of residential electricity usage :)
