Plumber's Buds

[PlumberSoCal]

What about leaving a few branches of it to go Amber? Wife doesn't always do well with Sativa dominant strains, but I just let that go until there's amber and it's not a bad way to change the way it smokes. Never had T99 before, how does that smell??

This one is seriously complex. It's Tangie x Cinderella 99, I believe. It's been some time since I tasted it but I'm pretty sure I described it here somewhere? that citrus from the Tangie melds well with the slight fruity side of C99. Very interesting combo and a group of us could puff down several Jay's and we'd have fun picking out the spicy and floral notes just like with wine?

On a side note I rolled up a Funky Runt and now wanna take a nap? damn.

Lol you should see me sniffing weed; worse wine snob sniffing as I inhale and try to pinpoint what I'm smelling going on lol. Like Hannibal Lecter telling Clarice what skin cream she wears but the noise I make is probably creepier lol.

So I have a policy about not working weekends but especially Sundays but today I just couldn't help myself and scheduled a drain clearing and an "easy" running toilet repair. Hahaha FUCKING ha. Nightmare the both. No more Sundays!
Couldn't remove the old parts

or put in the new ones so I've got to pull the tank and of course it's a 3 hole Kohler

and had to cut one of the bolts. Royal pain for a simple toilet repair and if you ask me who puts a sink like that in over a toilet it's people who shouldn't be allowed to own any tools, that's who.

My whole house is built like that. Hahaha

A/c return is blocking access to both sink and bath plumbing. Lets cut this floor joist in half for this drain. Yeah, perfect.
I was 22 when I bought this house. Make sure you get a good inspector is all I can say. I've been living in a nightmare for 14 years.

I have had dreams of doing exactly what she has done.

 

[PlumberSoCal]

I haven't been feeding the sparrows in the yeard since 2020 and I've got one that apparently remembers me

This was yesterday afternoon and I gave her 2 right from my hand. This morning she came right over

and purched next to my coffee cup. My back is aching and I didn't get up fast enough to get her a worm and she took off but she's getting very tame in a very short amount of time.

I'll start keeping mealworms on the patio table again and start feeding the wildlife. There's a new lizard king of the patio and I've been talking to him for a while now. He runs under my chair all the time so he's use to me and like the rest will happily take worms from my hand, I'd bet. I'll start taking pics and videos. Gonna be a good summer?

There's also a blue bellied lizard in the little greenhouse who's always sitting in a gallon pot half full of coco coir. Why he camps out there? No idea but he's there almost every day. No pics yet but I've been talking to him and he's become very comfortable with me.

Butter came out great. 7gm flower and 3gm sugar leaf off GDP. Cooked 4 hrs on high (210F) in a slow cooker
View attachment 117360
And then 8 hrs on low (110F) overnight. Should make these great for milk and cookies before bed?

I've already ate 2 but I'm also on my fifth joint

So I'm thinking maybe it's time to make some brownies

I have 4 cookies left. 2 knock me down and I'm hard core. That butter ain't for whimps? and would make some killer brownies.

Tonight I'll take some time and tend the garden, greenhouses too

All the usually horseshit from PM to catipilers need to be addressed. Sucks but here I am. This, right here is why there's vodka.

Prick bastards

Aphid instars. Awesome.

Actual adult aphids

on a Serrano pepper plant. I've got 3 of these and 2 Anaheim peppers. So far this is the only one infected, well that and the oregano. Gonna torch it all tonight. I even warned Tracy that after dinner I gotta tend to plants. After bringing this

in the house this afternoon, she's cool? the tomatoes and cucumber will go in our salads tonight and some bbq'ed burgers are in our future.

Guess who's back

She's so cute but oh, would you look at the time? Wait, that clock always sez it's 4:20. Everybody oughta have a clock like that?

The poor dill

It's growing like crazy

but too much of it has PM. All the tomatoes are in need of neem oil as well as the poor cucumber


Luckily the strawberries

haven't suffered any bacterial problems.

Stay tuned, got some high CBD Cherry Wine hemp news?

 

[PlumberSoCal]

Guess who

Found a joint of the purple pheno Magnum Flames


I roll em up and leave em in the jars for moments such as this?

Cherry Wine high CBD





Beautiful. Just every bit as beautiful as our beloved high THC strains. I'm gonna process it just just as normal. 250F 30 minutes to change the acid molecule. Tincture and coconut caps and some mixed 50/50 with the good stuff?

 

[PlumberSoCal]

I must have picked up a bug as today is day 3 of the trotters and I don't mean Globe. Fun times.

NOTE: I wanted the Amber Heard pic with the word "sorry" written with shit on the wall behind her, couldn't find it. I apologize for my failure.

I did find some hash

*I ❤ hash! and that helps my stomach for a while especially when I top a bowl of Funky Runt with it. That stuff hits almost as hard as that hash.

I do have a lot of manicuring to do

I have 2 of these Chemgophers, 4 Magnum Flames autos and 6 Funky Runt autos to trim so maybe I'll work on those between running to the bathroom.


Home made birthday gift

I hope they like it?

 

[Psychobilly]

I feel like the Amazon is more dangerous though; Don't get me wrong, my OCD ass would shiver seeing brown water all over the toilet, but nothing is likely to grab you from said water LOL.

Hope you feel better bro!

Sometimes life throws you a curve ball or as I like to say takes a dump on ya. I had both pumps in both greenhouses burn out within a week of each other. Gotta love it. Didn't know for about 4-5 days when the little greenhouse went, found out Sunday and yesterday I'm checking everything and find I've gotta fertigate the lg greenhouse by hand as this one needs to be replaced as well. 2 new pumps arriving today. Gonna have to start planning on 2 new ones every spring before we take off for my wife's bday in May?

Lots o plants are just a few twigs now as most of the foliage dried up. Lost all the new seedlings quick in this heat. It was 101 yesterday afternoon in the lg greenhouse.

And this concludes my first year of auto fertigation? it is what it is and i will salvage what I can which will be females of all the strains.

I also ordered silver nitrate crystals to attempt making fem seeds.

Everything has been working so well this hit out of the blue but I should have been prepared. I may order another pump just to have on hand and in this heat everything needs to be checked daily. Great learning experience.

 

[UncleB]

Definitely way more positive than negative for sure.

Still the auto king by a long shot imo

I wasn't too happy when I first saw those poor plants but nothing I can do to change it, just make the best of it?

New pump in the lg greenhouse is up and running. I have yet to redo all the lines and heads which need cleaning and removal of anti-siphon rubber pads in the drip heads in the sm greenhouse.

By this weekend I should be back to full auto and more seeds will get soaked.

Remember...

 

[UncleB]

There's a crummy mural along a wall I pass by regularly, in which a figure is holding a sign that reads "Bad is good, when worse happens"...???

Thought about you @PlumberSoCal when browsing the new listings on the seedfinder today ..... PLUMBERS CRACK just posted.
(hopefully they reached out for your blessing first) ?

 

[Psychobilly]

I feel like GDP X Green Crack would be excellent lol. I can see Plumber loving that too.

 

[PlumberSoCal]

I do like Green Crack. Bought it a few times, loved the taste and it made great tincture.

I really need to get busy and collect and clean the drip heads, figure out where everything will go, which plants I'll clone and give a couple months of 15hr days to mature but I've got a cup of real good coffee, tincture, a joint, full hash pipe, a bong and Led Zepplin blazing so I'm like good right now.

I also need to make and keep a maintenance schedule. I'm trying to grow killer bud with as little work as possible. As it is now 55 gallons of water lasts from 10-15 days, depending on the amount of drip heads and daily fertigations so I need to add another 55 gal barrel to each greenhouse.

I have the auto fertigation set for 5 x's a day: 5am 8am 11am 2pm 5pm in both houses. Light is currently 14+ natural sunlight. Small greenhouse LED supplimential lighting is set at 4-10am and 7-8pm for 16 hr days. I can continue this for 2 months and should give the clones enough time to produce a nice harvest.

I purchased 5lbs of sodium thiosulfate pentahydrate to detox my tap water. I had been using liquid store bought for aquarium use but it gets expensive.

I also ordered 5gms silver nitrate crystals to attempt another go at fem seeds. I saw an interesting conversation on OG from 2019. It seems injecting a 20% solution into a hollow stem will produce male pollen from all bud sites above the injection sight. One shot and no daily spraying heavy metals. I've got some half dozen spots around the property I can set up pairs and trios as you may have seen where I could put sole females pollinating themselves. I would help them of course but I'd much rather have 5-6 plants out in the open then 5-6 pairs and/or trios.

A lot of work I need to do and of course my back is on fire. Such is life. I'll just medicate until numb as possible. Could be worse...

I thought you might like Green Crack I've heard you describe what you love about GDP and thought that would be a similar taste profile for you to try.

Bro there's a drought going on your way too from what I've seen, and I can only imagine having to actually water every time... On the bright side you could always move Either way, hope that works out wonderful

Boogie boarding was on the agenda today but too cold still at the beach. In the mid 80's I lived 2 blocks from the water in Seal Beach, one of the warmest beaches in so cal due to its shallow depth and let me tell ya, almost every fucking day of the year it's cold and wet in the mornings. I had no idea. Back then I was working for someone else and had to leave the house by 7-7:30, cold and wet. Nobody talks about that horseshit and the reason I'll never live by the beach again. About 5-10 miles away is good?


looks like fun, no??

So instead of being eaten alive I'm manicuring hemp

I took down 1 of 4 this past Sunday

That big one

will get cloned and several will get a 1 or 2 stem silver nitrate injection. I had to plant 40+ seeds to get 4 plants. Not good odds.

So far I've taken 2 bt's, felt it in my chest like I was getting high, and while it did make my eyes "glassy" according to the wife I didn't get high. Not bad tasting but it's still a bit too wet. I'll make some caps, some decarbed and some not and see how they work for pain.

I still haven't gotten the sm greenhouse back online but after a week plus of hand watering they're doing better

They lost a lot of foliage and no doubt roots with it going dry. They and the Blueberry Hash Plants

will also be cloned and jabbed with silver. All the moms and those I don't clone will go into the lg greenhouse to flower. Days are still over 14 hrs of light but they are getting shorter so I expect a small harvest this Oct and most of the clones by Dec.

Our daughter-in-law had flown down from Seattle and spent a couple days with us. She and her family went to Mexico and check out what she got me

Just too cool. I got her ripped?

and made her smoke some hash

 

[PlumberSoCal]

Rolled up my first 50/50 joint

0.3 gram of GDP and 0.3gm of Cherry Wine hemp w/18% CBD. Good test as my hip in on fire today and I've got 2 hours before my first job.

I crawled up to the sm greenhouse and watered. Difficult when I hurt this bad but after what they've been through I can't miss any and today they'll only get 2. I've got the drip heads ready so it's just a matter of getting 'er done.

It's been a few, maybe 20 minutes and feeling a bit better. Low back is still tender and tight as usual. The hip is the muscle in front just below the hip bone and since it's muscular this stuff relaxes muscles so helping but the back is soft tissue and muscles.

Really high, higher than just the normal and sat here puffing that J

while reviewing @Psychobilly past 5 weeks grow. I watched 3-6" plants turn into 3-6' plants over a 20 minute span. That was very cool. You're KILLING IT man?

Just lit it up again. Can't get much higher but would like more pain relief. I gotta march up to the lg greenhouse yet as I've got some 3 Serrano's and 2 Anaheim pepper plants not hooked up yet.

 

[Psychobilly]

I actually recently got some seeds for a plant that has more CBD added in to see how it may help with my medical needs too, how is it ? Most of my stuff is THC dominant but I felt like I could probably do better with some CBD crossed strains, and I haven't ever actually grown one before. does it help with muscle aches or other various pains well ? I'm really new to that part.

And thank you I appreciate that.

I
Yeah, it helps and did make me really high which is a bonus?

I'm afraid weed will ever only be a mild pain reliever with or without the CBD but this is only the 2nd day and just rolled and torched another.

I do have a half oz of the hemp decarbed awaiting coconut oil, liquid vitamin E and bees wax. I'll make coconut oil caps of just the hemp tomorrow. Bees wax is scheduled to arrive Tuesday and I'll make up some THC & CBD salve. I'm hoping that helps the muscle pain even more.


I stole the above from here:
