Weasel Forges Ahead

Hey. All’s well here. Just scrambling around gathering nuts, berries, and fish. Internet at home is a lost cause so I can’t upload pics and every time I get to town it seems I’m too busy. Soon.

So, my wife might actually be lazier than I.
Amazon recently started selling groceries in my neighborhood. Nothing special really, they're just delivering Whole Foods groceries.
Anyway, it's new, it's lazy, it gets the wife's attention. She ordered what she wanted and had it delivered that evening. Tead had a little chicken/rice bowl for dinner that night.
So... let's recap for a moment. Not only do I not collect my own food, now I've become too lazy to visit the market and shop.



Indeed.
Could you imagine for just one moment... return the inhabitants of New York to a natural way of living. In a snap of your fingers, remove every modern convenience.
It's just not possible to support our population levels living directly off the land.

I'm pretty philosophical about such ideas. I'm sure all these words and ideas have been conversational fodder since man started speaking. "Say Ooog, have you seen those crazy kids? They've all started heating their food over the fire! It's got black stuff all over it and looks crazy. I don't know how our race will survive!!!"
You get the idea.

So many different ways of living, walks of life and different ways of surviving, all pointing to the future of mankind or the human race (I prefer man being kind rather than the race myself lol) with divergent outcomes.

Both are unsustainable without either travelling to the stars, colonising and 'using the resources' from each planet to keep on surviving, or we can look at looking after what we have, there's plenty of land to go around until the point we run out of resources. Which would have the effect of turning off all conveniences modern or not. Has nobody even found a spot to test a solar, wind, water powered generator yet?

Without us choosing to utilise rather than brutalise all resource options as a whole we're doomed, could be the optimist in me though but I still think we'd survive, maybe a setback but with all that blood feeding the fields there'd be a plentiful harvest in the future years.

I think this is my first Sativa that's made it. Fruit Punch and a pretty nice smoke, smells great like a bowl of fresh fruit. Good health and puff puff pass, couldn't find an emoji :namaste:
 
Swooping in to drop this off Weaselcracker.

Hey man.. we either living in strange times or fake news has the best headlines...

Doctors find turtle inside woman’s vagina after having pain

September 25, 2018 2:12am

A BRITISH woman has been found to have a dead turtle inside her vagina.

The ex-pat was taken to hospital in Tenerife, the largest of the Canary Islands, after experiencing severe abdominal pains.

Here doctors made the shocking discovery.


It is unclear how the turtle ended up inside the woman and she told doctors she has no recollection of it being put there.

:rofl::rofl:no recollection of it being put there :rofl::rofl:
 
Pennywise :passitleft:
 
Oh dear.. :eek: better call in the Hardy Boys for this one. Mystery of Turtle Lagoon.

After a couple months of downtime I may have finally fixed up that accursed cell booster (again). All fingers crossed. Raised it up another 10 feet and aligned it better.
And I finally found a good use for all these piles of railroad spikes I have around :) I pounded them into the tree truck as I climbed and they make great hand and footholds. That tree was always scary as shit to climb.

Even managed to upload a photo. A random pic of my veg room - shows the loving care I’ve managed to give my garden lately. Flowering is in a similar bedraggled state.

Just getting to harvesting the tall sativas now after 18 weeks in flowering. Not really much to show off there, after all that time, but at least they’re interesting looking.

Life still has me pulled in all directions but at least there’s hope I can get more time on this journal relatively soon, and I’ll be able to reply to these posts. I much appreciate you guys sticking around, you’re the best. :passitleft:
 
...I put one of those boosters up this summer(cheap one off the Zon)..works OK but only in close proximity to the inside unit...once the leaves are all off,if signal doesn't improve, I'll try and raise mine as well...fall is always busy, and throw in a couple procrastination projects...Yikes...:rofl:...Git'r done...cheerz...h00k...:rollit::passitleft:...

May as well post this one, harvested today, the last one of my three tall sativas to get chopped. Thanks to the miracle of my cell booster half-ass working again, I even managed to upload pics.

Not sure what went wrong with this plant, or whether it was simply meant to be this way. I felt like I could have left it for another week, or maybe seven weeks- who knows. All it would probably do is just keep growing more and longer and fluffier foxtails, which is really all it has ever done throughout flowering. But I don’t see what I’d really gain if I left it longer. I’ve got a suitcase full of fluffy fluff already and not sure what I’ll do with it.
It has a nice lemon scent, a bit reminiscent of the Panama plant I grew. I’m considering toasting it in the oven to decarb it then using most of it to make a batch of wine. Maybe make a cob as well.
Like my other two tall sativas this was over six feet tall, but flopped down heavily - especially when removed from the various strings and supports I had holding it up in the flowering room.
This was the easiest plant to trim I’ve ever had in my life :) Took less than ten minutes to snip the branches off, remove the only 20 or so leaves on the plant, and hang it up to dry. :thumb:
If I get any nice feeelings from smoking this fluff I may grow out a smaller clone to see if it would turn out any different.

I’ve seen pics of people growing sativas that look like this. But I was never sure if they were really meant to look like that or if they just had issues. It’s definitely not like the photo on the Ace website.... :hmmmm:
Any thoughts?

What was she on, 12-12? 10-14 with MH 10,000k bulb would be my next attempt with her... Looks mmmmm no comment... Either something awesome or fluffy shite, can't wait to hear....
 
:rofl:

I couple years ago I did some reading about equatorial sativas and blooming. Since the light cycle barely changes year round, what happens is that stands of plants tend to homogenize over time, and they'll typically bloom as a group. If you walk across the countryside you'll find stands of blooming plants and stands still vegging. Over time, they will also tend to bloom when the season is most advantageous, for instance, not during the rainy season. In nature, identical plants will bloom at different times of the year depending on whether they're located in SE Asia or Central America.

So, we come along and plant a seed and veg it under long days and then give it a 12/12 or 11/13 light cycle and expect it to bloom like other cannabis plants. In their natural environment, they bloom when they're ready and then get fertilized and grow seeds and die. Otherwise, they just keep blooming. :p

When I ran Colombians years ago, we had to use a 9/15 light cycle to get most of the phenos to finish.
 
I use 11/13 in the flowering room. And yeah it’s always a stretch to even presume to try and grow a plant like this in a room with a bulb. I fully realize it too- but it’s fun to try.:rofl:
Funny how it was way too tall for my room but once I took it outside she just looked like a very small outdoor plant!

‘Awesome’.... very very unlikely. :) But I’m not averse to a really mild smoke that makes me feel happy. Might not even get that, but maybe I can ferment her, and/or make some sort of wine concoction. Or maybe stuff a pillowcase...
 
I tell you, I'm having spectacular success running them no-mercy

I was very surprised at how much punch my Golden Tiger x Oldtimers Haze had. It looked a lot like yours with all the clumps of long foxtails, smelled like hay, smoked like schwag .... and left me like a statue with a pipe in my hand - you know the look. Huh? Oh ... yeah.

Everything else I ever grew that looked like that though, as the Chimp would say, had no hair on its azz. Fun stuff, but no kick no legs.

:bongrip:
 
I'm sitting here musing about pot sizes and how that affects yield, and how I've finished plants in many different sizes - 1 gal, 2 gal, 3 gal, 6 gal and 15 gal ... and then I remember that was the GT x Oldtimers and how it finished so nicely, and the two thoughts merged.

I remember Doc Bud talking about his buddy's greenhouse and how they tried to run a landrace Colombian Gold in there in a large raised bed of HB soil. The Lab had suggested that they wouldn't have to go too deep but they should go wide, so they built a 10x10 bed. :)

It went through the 12 foot roof, was a big pain in the ass. But the roots went all ten feet to the edges. So I'm wondering. What if this kind of sativa responds to root constriction? What if it grows long and sparse when its roots get blocked by something? I know they won't be trained - hate the crap out of that - go all fussy and mewly and limp. But these no mercy ones finish with a strong stalk and full buds.

I wonder if they need open ground to grow right. :hmmmm:
 
Hmmm... that Ethiopian was in a little 7 gallon pot. :hmmmm: My thought was to try the next ones as smaller plants in bigger pots which is what I wanted to do originally anyway. Growing big tall plants like that in my space is just all wrong and shows up the embarrassing limitations of growing under an artificial sun, in a little box with a fan for wind. It’s impossible for big gangly plants to soak up light properly from a single little bulb overhead. Even with advanced basket weaving skills.
But.. they were already tall when I got back from the medical trip and I stuck them into flower immediately. Four months ago
I’m feeling masochistic enough to try them again smaller. :) The GT x Thai Stick plants turned out fairly promising considering the conditions. I’ll try to upload some pics of those once I sort through them.
