I dreamed I had many mouths. I dreamed every mouth was opening and closing independently. Some mouths were talking, some whispering, some eating, some waiting in silence...
We're in Fennville which is pretty rural and has a population of like 1000 people. The more wild parts of Michigan are like paradise to me. Plus you can grow 12 plants!
It's definitely not all Detroit, you owe it to yourself to see some of the nature up here.
This is my smoke spot for the weekend
Finally got a weekend to ourselves so we came here for our honeymoon and it is ah-mazing. Is Michigan the promised land?
In that fat ass joint is Bizzle's Own Organic Craft Cannabis. It's good, I'm very excited to harvest the rest of my plants in the fall.
You're right, you also have to pull assorted clearly labeled levers. But I put that under "pay attention"
I've been driving a forklift for like 12 years at various places, and I'm stupid as fuck. It's not hard.
Alright so here's a hot take for you, operating a forklift isn't hard. Literally just go slow and pay attention and you'll be fine.
I do a shitty job hand trimming, so this is actually better for me
I've seen things you people wouldn't believe... Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion... I watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhäuser Gate... All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain...
Thank you for the clarification 🙏
I was thinking about running autos next year so I can get two outdoor harvests but I've been hearing a lot of bad things about them. Do you run autos a lot? Is your experience usually good?
What were the last 5 Bethesda games? I haven't played one since DOOM and Eternal, which I thought were both pretty rad. Come to think of it, I think the next one I play is going to be the new DOOM.
I'm in Illinois so I'm not super familiar, but although hemp is better than nothing it's definitely not the same
Our supply is kept artificially low by overregulation. You need something like a million dollars in liquid money to get the permits to grow commercially and they only give out a handful of licenses per year, ensuring that the rich get richer and everyone else gets fleeced. Still better than Iowa where "any amount" leads to jail time.
I still get mine from Earl 😂
In seriousness backyard product does have risks, but so does dispensary stuff. A lot of these labs just rubber stamp stuff. I've read exposés on the cannabis industry that read like Upton Sinclair.
We can only grow in Illinois with a valid medical card, otherwise it's a $200 ticket. The police union fought back when they wanted to let everyone grow.
I also smoke it (I don't vaporize) medicinally for my leg and I can go from "literally can't stand up" to "pretty much fine" in like 4 tokes, it's amazing 👍
But one of the side effects I've been experiencing lately is that I'm always having a great time, which some people really seem to have a problem with 🤔 I can't figure it out.
I can't help but say commodity cannabis ruined weed though. Dudes should be growing it in their back yards and sharing it freely with their dawgs, not paying $300 an ounce at a dispensary that feels like the DMV. The cannabis industry MUST be deregulated.
I really like personal space. I hug my family because we're close and we hug, and I'll hug my closer dawgs if they need it, but most of the time I want people to respect my personal space.
I'm with you, this place has really turned around. I'm glad JB is doing a good job, I know he's a billionaire so don't get me wrong I think we should still guillotine him but maybe do him last.
One of my plants didn't reveg, what are we thinking for harvest window?
Please forgive my wack ass microscope
Finally starting to reveg
I'm going to chop off about two feet from each of them, even out the canopy a little bit, and then brace for the stretch at the end of June. Also my cover crop looks awesome, it gives the whole greenhouse a real Secret Garden vibe. I pulled a lawn chair in here, it's my new favorite smoke spot.
Outdoor plants are no joke
Someone was asking me about pests. These have spider mites, they're not super bad but I'm going to spray neem oil anyway. It's not ideal but my ecosystem doesn't have any spider mites predators right now so it's really my only current solution. I'm not interested in non-native predators but if anyone has a line on some Illinois native predatory insects holler at me.
You can also see how well established my cover crop is! I'm a big fan of cover cropping. Monoculture is literally poison to the Earth, so obviously Bizzle don't play that shit.
Anyway the big one in the middle is up to my nose 😂 and they're fully flowering which sucks but I'm learning for next year. Nothing I ever do is a failure, it's just some shit I did.
I got a boat
I'm naming it Smoke on the Water because obviously I am, but I don't want to smash a champagne bottle because I don't drink. What's something pot related I can do instead?
What's your go-to munchies snacks?
We have been eating a lot of ice cream lately when we get our bake on, but that is not ideal. Bonus points for healthy snacks.
I love weed farming
My plants are a little leggy still but the days are getting longer so they'll reveg soon. I still haven't planted my produce crops lmfao my wife is starting to complain about my priorities.
It's 4/20, the best day of the year
What're y'all doing today? Personally I'm getting married so that'll be fun. I'm gonna be high on edibles for it lmfao
I put my plants out probably a week too early and they stretched
I think they'll be ok, they had thrown a few pistils but I don't see them now. But I was already worried about height and now I especially am.
Put my plants in the ground
Hopefully they live! This is 5 Black Widows. I don't know how it'll grow outside here but we'll find out soon enough.
The bed is approximately 8x8. I amended it heavily with compost and used coffee grounds. Someday soon, my cover crop will grow up out of the straw and then it'll be really pretty.
The greenhouse is an 8x10 model. It locks, but in reality anybody that wants to get in there probably will. I made some modifications to account for air flow, it gets hot as fuck here in August.
I still have to irrigate. Right now I'm watering with the hose and that sucks, outside cannabis is a thirsty bitch. I have my blumats still but I'm planning on running a drip system like I am for my vegetables.
At any rate, I think October is going to be a good month for me!
I sprouted these seeds and the cotelydons fell off
I think I'm done with ILGM. Fortunately I have 5 plants already growing to throw outside in a couple weeks, but next time I'm going with a different breeder. Anybody else grow outside? Who's your preferred breeder?
Homebrew guys make labels for their beers, so I did for my weed.
Yes, I do have a second pair of sunglasses on my collar. Don't @ me.
