Well, I feel special. I bet we all would get along well. I'm just about the most outdoors you can get while still living under a modern roof. I hope you and your wife have a pleasant evening, Woods. I know I'm about to after hearing that. Later, Brother.
Thanks my friend I told her what you said and she thanks you also for wishing her a pleasant evening (which we did). The wife got the fire going and when I went out there after rolling one, she was already grilling a hot dog for herself on a stick. After smoking several hits, I ended up grabbing two wieners from the fridge myself, grilled'm up nice and black the way I like, toasted a big bagel and with nothing else on them, down the hatch! Sat out for a few hours and talked about all kinds of things (except things that would get us in a bad mood). Great time, we do this often on less windy nights.
Log homes and cabins have always been a weak spot for me...something about all that natural wood grain just makes me really relaxed and "at home". Just saying... lol. Maybe it was because of all the camping/hunting trips I took as a kid up to my grandfather's log cabin on a remote river in Alaska. Kinda miss that stuff.
Grandpa's cabin sound neat. Great memories Lil, they will be with you always! I'm not a city boy at all. Grew up in a rural yet kind of suburban area. Our house was a renovated old farmhouse with a couple of 'wild' acres, but almost surrounded by encroaching development. All my friends lived in the 'new' homes. Ours was actually very nice. My Dad was an Architect and this was his personal project. I could never live in the city. Did when I was a young stud (Chicago) and that was great as far as the ladies were concerned, but I remember even then, that I longed to be in the woods! California was suburbia, but I was able to get away every weekend to the most beautiful places on earth. Were I'm at now is more 'farmland' and is not wild anymore, unless your a weekender from Chicago! I think they believe this is the 'wilderness'! Look Johnny, a wild cow over there! LOL
hummmm, my gr. granny would have snuck up on anyone who tried to take her smoke, and not in a good way...one of my earliest memories is of these old men comming to the house and granny digging out these ugly root looking things, #eyote, and them taking them to a sweat....she was the keeper of medicine...she believed that the great spirit put all things on earth, if they were not for mans use...they would not be here....she would not kill a snake unless it was for a purpose...and her weed, well, that was her life blood....they used to play bones (dominoes) and cards at night....very hot okla. nights, and all smoke weed....i never thought anything about it...i guess i thought it was just something people did....they would gripe about their legs and backs ect, and the pipe would be passed and soon all would be laughing and talking about their day and such....seemed natural....when the women would come to the house to give birth, my first job was to tear rags, and boil water for the tea pot....and put the herb in it for tea, always strong, i remember that....and she would roll a cigarette or load a pipe for them....i guess i thought it was like how the others offer coffee or pop....in our house it was a pipe, especially if they were in a bad mood.....usually had buttermilk also....i still like buttermilk with my smoke.....yeah, weird i know....we used it for all kinds of things, it was string for diff. things, and even the dogs would chew up the stems....they enjoyed it....
i learned from her that there is nothing really that is inherantly wrong, it is what a person does with it....it was also used to calm children, by blowing in their faces....i know that seems wrong now, but in her day when you were sneaking thru enemy territory, the kids had better be quiet....so please let your wife know, that it was only after moving off our land, that i found out what an "evil" drug marijuana was supposed to be....i had only seen the good in it, and still do....hard for me to believe that others saw it as horrid when it was an everyday thing for us....my aunt smoked it in her pipe until she died...and was smoking it when she passed....one story about her was we all played cards, so i had my bag over there in my purse, guess she saw it and just proceeded to get it....(was col. gold, and $$$)...i said nothing as the rule is share....she loaded her whole pipe full...and sat there and smoked bowl after bowl of it....at first i wanted to cry, but ended up having a great time knowing that i had made her day....now she was a stoner on par with the hubby.....it took all her pains away also....enuf b.s.....later, lavendar...hey, i use mir. gro. and still do outside....sometimes the organics cant keep up with the rapid growth of the vegs, i use tomatoe food that is not organic, and it works great....not into putting a fish in every pot....too much time, and it stinks....we also have a "rocky" raccoon problem here, have koi, so they come to fish....not good
oh yeah, by the by, your plants look good, (read great) and you should keep growing them, they are vital to your health, mentally and physically, you protect and nourish them and they will do the same for you....they will replace so many pills the docs try to push on you, but i'm preaching to the choir, so will shut up....think herbally....my son never had a pill or sugar until he was 15yrs old, or a tooth ache....
what do you know about mazar? i know little, but have one mixed with gr. white shark.....just curious....lavendar
Well Ms. Lavendar you've outdone yourself this time and after I write this I'm going to Rep you ( If I can). That is a beautiful story, and I read it to my wife. She was laughing and told me to tell you that she thinks you are a nice lady and a great teller of stories, that you should write about these things so the youngsters will learn what it was like. I told her that you were writing, but couldn't remember what about! LOL (short term memory loss I guess). I was able to kind of picture these things happening and I can see you as this beautiful little girl helping out the 'elders' and taking it all in. Later you would use these lessons in your own life! Your a gem my dear! Keep telling these stories! I'm sure I'm not the only one 'enchanted' by them!
Mazar is a mostly indica cross of Afghani and Skunk#1. I grew it before the last NL#5 grow and got only one female of the three planted, but it turned out to be a 'dud'. Not potent. These were the 'free' seeds that came with the NL#5 so I'm not sure if it was a 'shelf life' issue or if it was a product of my not growing it right (no pH checking). I'm going to give them another chance and grow them correctly this time outside. I have my two last seeds planted and they are now a couple inches high under my lights upstairs sitting on Big Girls pot in fact (see the pic form earlier). By all accounts I've heard, my 'failure' was not a normal outcome for the F1 cross. High THC by the way. It is not the Mazar e Sharif as this one is crossed with the mostly sativa Skunk #1,about 70% indica I believe.
Hi Woodsman I caught up! It took a while though, your busy over here my friend. Is the runt by chance a sativa and you didn't know it? We might be harvesting the same day.
You sure she's not from the Take Forever Clan?
See your well equipped for the outside grow....is there any where you could send the wife for a while? What she don't know wont hurt her. When she gets back, she'll just think you have some new trees that smell funny. Although she has the eyes of a hawk, based on you own words. Guess that's a bad idea,
Congratulations on the regeneration It worked!
I'd send her to her sisters for a vacation but she and her brother in law don't see eye to eye lately and when you don't see eye to eye with my wife, well you know how it is with me and my smoke. I would pity the poor man!
The Runt should be like the rest a mostly indica. NL#5 is a mostly indica strain unlike some of the other NL strains. But of course their is sativa in the mix so who knows? She did have wide leaves early in her life (when she had leaves). Maybe her Mom's side of the family has a long flowering time trait. She is not a tall plant and other than taking forever to mature she has been a problem free girl! Checked her today and saw a couple of amber trichomes, but nothing to write home about yet!
I cleared a small area right at the edge of the woods where I could grow if I needed to. All depends on how many survive to larger pot size dimensions. the cool weather has really strained these bagseed babies and most are very stretched. Lost several due to wind blow because of their 'spindly' stems. I should have at least 5 that should make it.. I would only plant the bagseed in the ground. the mazar and the NL#5 from seed will go in pots up on the deck where papa can keep a good eye on'em.
The Regenerated Big Girl is growing fine right now and one of the three NL#5 seeds has emerged from the soil, hopefully the others will do the same today or tomorrow.
i think i remember saying once that i thought she was sativa....that would make it a total other ball game huh? no wonder she is a lingerer.....but worth the wait....lavendar
Like I mentioned to OMM above, she may have that trait in here from some of the 'in-laws'. YOu never know with 'in-laws'!
Hey, i'm happy your triyng a new variety mixing pepper and weed
I'm really happy see another (in the same) journal starting from you
Hope the best.
Hey buddy, good to hear from you , I've got to see what's going on over at your end. I see movement on the email page at your place!
Pepper Strain Hmmmm? You know, the Chem Dog that ChiJoe had smelled kind of like a black pepper! who knows where papa was when he was younger? Papa could have been a 'rolling stone' and liked those little south of the border pepperitas!
