The irony is that no one ever gets the beads pheno - just the usual habit.
I'll admit it looks cool. But it probably looks far more cool to people who haven't even grown "the usual" sativa types. Staggeringly large internodal length, sativa flowering period, more of a train wreck than "Train Wreck," lol... For a result that's good, of course - but not Golden Fleece good. And one could probably do a SCROG grow of it
without a screen, just a bunch of hooks along the walls that the grower trains the plant back and forth on until the grow looks like a living cat's cradle.
If I had seeds, I'd grow a plant or two. But I really don't think I'd put a great deal of effort into doing so. And I'd probably find it really useful to have a small space just for that in case it shimmed on me.
IF it didn't, it might end up as 50% of a few (non-perpetuating) seed production crossings, just so I could see what I came up with. Maybe partnered with something from Central/South America or Africa. Probably the latter, lol, something that came from a region lacking both nutritive soil and regular precipitation - so that I could actually feel like I was
supposed to ignore it and treat it badly
.
Another great Thai/Mex/Lumbo strain is Destroyer by Cannabiogen.
Had a chance at some free Destroyer seeds once, but I turned them down for some reason or other. Probably a full closet and sufficient(???) seed stock on hand at the time, IDK. I just went back and refreshed my memory by reading the breeder's description. Now I'm kind of kicking myself for turning them down.
Ah, well. Now that I have realized that my entire stock hasn't somehow become non-viable after all (IDK what was going on before), I...
suppose (lol) that I have a sufficient seed stock on hand now. I could wish for more seeds per strain - but that strikes me as being comparable to wishing one has a full belly when he is not actually starving to begin with.
And THAT line of thought has me wondering just how many strains and crossings I
do have in my possession. I should probably update my list so that I actually know. Maybe the next time I see that someone has posted a "What strains are in YOUR personal catalog?" type thread, it'll provide enough motivation for me to do exactly that.
He said it'll use the new Luxeon 1825 LEDs
Aren't those by Epileds? I stopped paying much attention to that company after reading that they'd had to resort to ripping off
Epistar's IP, lol. So I'll be interested in seeing what you can do with a bit of kit that contains their parts (especially if those parts are actually... theirs). We've all seen that you can grow decent plants (and I know you can produce decent bud
) - so if you aren't able to accomplish with that light, well... We know the weakness won't be YOU.
Every time I turn around, it seems like you've stepped up your game another notch. I hope this will be another such step. You are certainly deserving.
You never cease to surprise me.
As long as it's least
occasionally... in a good way.
Sorry to hear about your day but I seriously had to laugh when you said it started raining.
No worries - no lawnmowers were harmed during...
I was hoping a few of you would see the humor in the events and, perhaps, have a chuckle. Helps to find value in things, you know?
Oh, yeah, and that rain? Like 420 cows all peeing on the same flat rock - for about 25 minutes
. Just enough to leave puddles everywhere, peg the RH - I'm
hoping that's why the pain in my shoulder is now extending halfway down my forearm and feeling vaguely like there's a broken bone in the limb somewhere - and thoroughly soak my yard. Soon after it stopped, there was so much fog rising from the road that it looked like it could almost have been sentient.
Anyone got a quarter-acre of Astroturf they're looking to dispose of?
When I use cannabis it's never to simply catch a buzz.
I start with a singular intention of getting as far above the atmosphere as possible....this time. Then I do it all over again at least two or,three more times before my body says "Go to bed woman!"
Am I really uncommon? Somehow I don't think I am in this community, but out in the so-called real world there are strong pressures to stifle this level of euphoric experience.
IDK. I've known several women who were looking to get higher than high, to never come down. I'm thankful that you have found cannabis' effect to be sufficient. One of them looks your age (but I've got 12 years on her), I think two are still in jail, one is buried, and one may never be judged mentally competent and allowed to leave... medical confinement again (although it must be stated that her drug use was not the source of her difficulties - and might have contributed to her still having a pulse now, IDK).
I've not paid a great deal of attention to the guys I've known, primarily because I didn't end up being the one to pick up the pieces where they were concerned - but I suspect much the same for those whose appetites continued to grow.
I am
SO GLAD that you have an "off" button, and are not one of the people I've known who, after partying with no sleep for five or six days, is trying to extend even that.
I'm not the only person I know who works best with free access to cannabis.
I wouldn't offer Usain Bolt an indica blunt minutes before one of his races - but, yes. Strain choice is everything.
I can think of a few things that, if they were legalized, use would skyrocket. Cannabis? A (relative) few new converts, sure. But I cannot really envision a huge jump in consumption - because I've always assumed that MANY more people have already been quietly(?lol?) using it all along than all the surveys/etc. have inferred.
I honestly couldn't begin to speculate whether or not - in general, across the board - cannabis use increases performance. But I figure lots and lots of people are using it (and really always have been).
consuming any THC isn't an option, without the likelihood of being swiftly unemployed at the next round of testing. Many are now afraid to start taking CBD for fear the testing will begin to look for that cannabinoid.
There's a lot of money being made in testing. I anticipate a fight to the bitter end.
I've wondered if... I know that some companies that manufactured RADAR guns also manufactured RADAR
detectors. Do you suppose it's actually the same with those "fool a drug test" products?
Every wonder what'd happen if one day everyone in America went to work with some form of cannabis in their system so they'd all test positive? Lol!
I was thinking just today that, since the tests actually look for the
metabolites... That it'd be possible to spike water coolers and coffee pots across the globe with none the wiser - until the test results started rolling in, LMFAO.
91?!?!?!? I hope you were able to include a bud or two, too. If someone of that age asked me for... well, ANY drug - and it was within my power to give it to them - I'd happily do so. Life being a terminal condition and all, I'd treat the situation like any other terminal... illness and hand it over with a smile, saying, "You've already beaten the odds. Enjoy whatever time you have left as you see fit." If Mom's attitude had ever loosened up, I don't think I'd have
ever stopped growing.
