Well harvesting and all that entails more or less brings a screeching halt to journaling very much, for me anyway. I've got 2 of the 4 strains completed and curing with Durban and Hindu Kush still in process. I was never excited about the HK until it turned purple and I'm kinda back to not excited again but I can discuss that to exhaustion sometime later.

Hey Captain, you had a beautiful crop this year. I'm looking forward to watching your next one.
I also still have to finish trimming, i can't seem to get myself motivated, to pick back up the scissors. 😆
Enjoy your weekend.

Ya know I'd enjoy watching ya do a winter grow indoors mang. Just sayin......😉

🤔🤔🤔
A small setup, just to give things a look see for what should be run outdoors next season.

I appreciate you much for saying that, I don't really think of my grow related content as being very interesting, but I like to think my humor carries me through. Earlier my wife texted me that some car set a new record of 171 mph in reverse. I answered back now ppl can maintain eye contact briefly with the cops they're outrunning. :D

I'm working on things to increase the legit cash flow around here and if I have any luck I do have a place I could have a go at one. It could happen especially if I low-ball and half-ass it the way I do most things lol. For now, I'll get trimmed out and close things down for a while, and lose my identity playing Hearts of Iron 3 until oh.. sometime in February, and start prepping to pop. Early to mid March soak 'em and go, inside at first.

Last year I totally ghosted the board I was on during game season (I don't play in summer, too much other stuff to do) but here, I'll be around there's just no ghosting ph, you want to be there. ❤️

Hey you too TnE, and thank you for the complimentary words I appreciate that. Next one will be all Phenohunter sourced, and it's the first time I ever was excited about the next grow before I can even get the last one processed but I'm really looking forward to it. So much of what I've grown to date I've had little to no idea whos genetics I had or even known what strains I'd be running until I went to see my friend to pick them up. I like selecting what I'll be running for myself (y)

Man that'd be funny! Back when I was younger and... LOL WAY less mature (Yeah, go ahead, imagine THAT for a second.... LOL) I used to think it was a Sport to outrun a cop, because my dumb ass did NOT know that it was a two year crime for trying.... To my surprise, I found out you can actually go to jail just for the running part, and I didn't do that anymore.... *sigh* when I was a teen, some friends of mine and I were bored one night, and a buddy had gotten a new apartment, so we were over there just hanging out, and got bored, and I noticed that a squad car would drive by every certain number of minutes, and got this great idea....

We took all the illegal things we had, and left them in a spot, so as to not be totally ridiculous, and stood outside across the street, under a street lamp. The idea was "When a squad car goes by, we will all look up, and run for it" just to "look suspicious" to "see what would happen" and if we got caught, say we had no idea they were chasing us, and that "these are my buddies, and they're running with me to help me lose some weight".... Yeah, I know, I'm surprised I'm alive too.

Anyway, it didn't take long, as my buddy and I were both Computer nerds, and REALLY good at figuring out an "Algorithm", or in this case, how long before that squad car drives by again. Sure enough, the car drives by, and we all take off running thinking it was funny. Mind you, we weren't actually doing anything illegal at the time, but the squad car, hits the brakes, and flips around in an instant, and starts FLYING towards the street we ran down.

We split up into groups, and one of my best friends is with me, and the other two guys, are on the other side of the street, and we get down this dark side street, and hide, as the car goes by looking for us. My other buddies manage to hide and make it back around to a spot near by his new apartment, but my buddy and I that took off on the other side, are stuck waiting for a minute, and then.... I realize I have this thing in my pocket, and it's got prescription drugs in it that I've got no prescription FOR. So I'm like "Oh shit...." and my buddy and I have to now down all these things so that if we DO get stopped, we aren't actually breaking a law.

We're hopping over fences to get to a better spot to lay low until we're done getting rod of everything I forgot to take out of my pocket, like an idiot, and then, once we're done, we make it back to near his spot. I'd love to say we stopped and didn't continue this ridiculous journey of "let's see how it goes" but no, I'm a teen at this time, and think it's kind of funny.

We get back and meet up, and go for another round. By this time, the "Algorithm" of when a car will drive by, has increased by a little bit, and now there are multiple cars out there looking for us. We give it a go, and get away, and head back, because NOW we're actually tired from running. We decide to go down the street to a 711 and get Slurpees. Bright idea? No, not in the slightest... Because it's on the same road these guys are looking for us on. We are leaving 711, walking down the sidewalk, drinking our drinks, and talking about stuff, when another car drives passed us and sees us. They slam on the brakes, and we're like "Awww man...." and we take off. We manage to get back to his apartment, and sit there for a few hours until it's not as "hot" outside.

Well fellas, I guess it's as good a time as any to start winding the grow portion of this thing down, and my wind up isn't going to be presented to you quite the way I planned. The new plan is I'll just discuss how it ended up in bits and pieces and when done I'll try to find some other things to share until next Spring. I think I'll start with my failures, which I'm already over lol.

I think now that I made a mistake that had some cost to it when I didn't strip down the flowering starts I installed. I probably should have given them about a week after setting them in the ground and then clipped down the flowers that had formed. I wondered out loud about it, the wife said yeah you wanna do that. Didn't do it, and they sat still for a real long time. Now I know lol. My next failure was with the 2 Grape Cheese auto's I had. They were getting close to done when I spotted a couple of cotton wads in them from worms, and impulsively pulled them. It was too early and the bud I got from it had no effect and I trashed it.

And then we come to the Hindu Kush, 2 plants, plants that for most of the summer I had no passion for they were just 2 of 5 that got tossed to me, and not something I'm very likely to have chosen for myself. As time went on some leaves started yellowing which I first saw as deficiency, and ended up giving some epsom salts which may have helped but did not erase all the signs of a problem. Later still, they started turning purple, well that got my fuckin' attention for sure. Buds got chunky and hard. They never had a lot of smell, or got very sticky. The trichs were there, but no stinky or sticky worried me. I waited what seemed like forever on the trichs to go my way, and finally got where I felt like there was a majority of white/cloudy and some amber, I could see some clear heads yeah but they didn't look to me like very many, and chopped on like Oct. 30, I think.

Apparently I took 'em too soon, it has no or minimal effect on me, got one smoke report back the guy said sleepy time weed, so I don't know other than it does nothing for me.
Hardest buds I've grown yet and decent yield around 2# but not worth shit lol. No problem, other things went right and as far as inventory goes I'm fine and the family plan is too, so screw it. I got to grow my hardest chunkiest buds yet, and watch a plant purple out so ok. I have that entire yield laid up in a 2# Grove bag, disposition yet to be determined. Here's a pic of the brush I use, first to knock off fan leaves and then again later to ruff 'em a bit for the fine points.

Lotsa wee mirror balls, the clear heads glitter like diamonds

So next time I'll talk about the ones that worked out, that should be fairly short. I still have some Durban mids to trim, the Durban and Northern Lights smalls are going untrimmed for a while, and the bulk of the HK will go untrimmed it looks like, so I'm close to done. :dancingsmiley"

Happy Danksgiving to all my treasured friends at PhenoHunter ! Enjoy the day and don't get run over by shoppers tomorrow. ❤️

LOL I haven't done Black Friday in a very long time. My first time I went was with my ex, and my cousin, and at the time, my cousin was pregnant, and some person with a shopping cart almost slammed the cart into my cousin's stomach.... I saw it happening and kicked the cart over before it hit her. I think I'm not into that sort of thing LOL. WAY too many people and they aren't paying attention. Though I did get to kick a cart right over in a Target shopping center because of it haha.

Hey if I go silent for a while no worries, long story but I was trying to install some more RAM to my daily driver, it didn't want to come back on afterward and I opened it up again trying to figure out wtf. Decided to pull the CMOS for a few minutes and went to put it back, broke the fuckin' wires off at the solder fml. So rn I'm using the one I play HOI3 on, since it has adequate RAM for that. I wanted to switch my game play to the dd, wouldn't have been dicking with it at all except the battery is about done on this one, gets pretty warm. I also have one identical to the daily driver it was my wifes and she replaced it, so between all of it I'm probably good but Mr. Murphy is in the neighborhood and he always has that law of his ready to shiv you with it. Blast, and damn. Damn, and blast. Blast damn and confusticate.

You have a soldering iron by chance ? It's in no way fun, but, you may be able to fix that up.

I must have gotten a bad memory chip back a couple years ago when I bought it for that game, I had the same issue with the identical computer. I'm back on the dd now, I got to looking at that CMOS and it wasn't soldered it had these odd connection reminded me a bit of a car battery just micro, I assume so it will break away under adequate pressure. Took some doing but I got them reconnected. Anyway that RAM chip did two computers the same way so seems to me it's probably the problem.

Glad you got it at least sorted bro :) Ever get pissed at a board and kick it once or twice just to see if there really is another type of "reBOOT" lol.

I'm ready to be done with the '23 grow part of this thread. I wanted to put up some bud pics to end it, and I did get the FSRB sufficiently I guess, the Northern Lights and the Durban may or may not get done I don't care anymore lol. The Hindu Kush was about a 3lb. faceplant, I have it curing but it's pretty much a zero, across the board. But the rest of it collectively gets me to the only place I was ever trying to get to with it, just to fill the jars for another year. I would def grow Forbidden Skittles x Raspberry Boogie again, or another RB cross, or even RB x RB. It has turned out to be good tasting smoke that's getting smoother as it cures and has a real nice stone, as you begin to come down a bit you're feeling good and relaxed so I've been smoking it after supper and it seems like my sleep has been more restful. The Northern Lights is about like Durban to me, tastes different but similar stone that's not quite as intense as Durban. This years Durban went fine, compared to last years I had a bigger plant with better bud density and stacking this year.

I'll get a couple bud pics maybe or not but I'm moving on to the winter bs portion of this thread and I'll share some past pics and whatever, and y'all can post away here as you wish. Next year I think I will only do pics like monthly until mid-flowering.

Thank you all you fellas that have looked in from time to time, for stopping by. You're always welcome and please join me towards the end of March for

Raspberry Boogie was one of my first grows, also still one of my favorites I've grown. Sour candied Raspberry flavor 😋
Post in thread 'Mosca Seeds' Mosca Seeds
Just a few pics there. A couple of Pineapple Mayhem first. But same breeder.

I want to grow something pineappley one of these days. I think Mosca must have their shit wired together nice and tight, every place I see people talking about growing their gear they are happy as hell with their big fat sticky buds.

I've heard mixed reviews of Mosca over the years. But in my experience I've had better luck with his Pink line, or fruit nose foward strains. The newest one I've grown lately was a DCSE freebie. Think it was Dayger. Candyland x Gelato 41 rvsd. It was so tasty. I hit it with a Chocolate Diesel x PIAB pollen. I have a few seeds from it so I'll check them out eventually.

He just partnered with James Loud on some pineapple 🍍 strains and a few others , I'm interested but it'll have to wait till after the holidays.

Atm I have the Frosted Raspberries going. Raspberry Boogie x Mac. We'll see how that goes. Sorry to derail your thread. I just never got around to commenting on your FZ x RB. And had wanted to. As you can tell I really like the Raspberry Boogie 😆

This is from about 3 years ago, the local stud we named Owens, after Buck Owens. He was right across the road from the house close enough to hit with a rock. My wife took the pics, I had been watching him for about 2 hours at this point, he was knocking around a small sapling with his antlers and stamping his feet. Not long after she snapped this pic, a group of does that's always around came a-running from the woods behind us and ran right to him, and the party was on.

IMG_6904 (1).JPG

I think he had at about 3-4 of them, a couple were still pretty young. This all took place right by a spot where those does bed down most of the time, and when it was all over the does staggered over there and Owens ambled away probably to go lay down for a while lol. I think somebody nailed 'ol Owens, I last saw him in September of the following year, he was playing tag with a wee little buck they'd chase each other and put their heads down and shake, stamp their feet and chase some more it was hilarious.

So there's something from the old archives. I'm going to start a new Hearts of Iron 3 campaign and going to post After Action reports here and see how that goes. I will have 12 game years, Jan. 1, 1936 through Dec. 31, 1947, to plant the Rising Sun on as much real estate as possible. So I think I'll do 6 month (game time) reports and see how it goes. I've already dominated a large part of the world in other campaigns (last winter I conquered Britain with 1 week of game time left lol) What will be different this time is, I will have the goal of attacking the USA when the time is right. In the past, leaving the USA alone has been key to succeeding, so this probably won't end well for me. When this one is done I'm ready to try out Italy and eventually I'll take on running Germany, but this Japanese campaign I'm starting now will take a few weeks of real time.
