So yesterday I had some Chem D rolled up and started out with that, and then, I grabbed our "House Blend" jar, which has been sitting in the closet for months now, and essentially, that jar was from when we were still trimming, and any bud that was snipped off, or we weren't really sure what strain it was, it all went in that jar.
Basically every strain we did had some in there, so it's a true mix of every strain we grew last year, and, it's also a mix of different "pulls". For myself personally, I like to let some of my plants go until they have a decent amount of Amber or Purple resin, and then pull it, to have a nice dose of CBN to go with it. But of course branches do snap off, and storms happen, so even though I'd mark jars like "This strain, pulled early" some of those buds are probably in there too.
What we didn't expect was a straight up mind warping effect from what we rolled out of that LOL. I grabbed some buds from that jar, and ground up a bunch of it, and the Wife rolled up that, and I used a "Glass" "paper" (Says it's made from Asiatic Mallow so it's naturally clear in color) and we smoked ONE of those, and then I got a little panicked that we actually still had stuff to accomplish; We were still hitting it when it "hit" and I put it down like "Uh oh..... We still have that concert to do.....SHIT!" and the Wife was on that same boat hahahaha.
We stopped smoking it like over an hour before we had to go, but that wasn't much comfort; I was high as balls, and the Wife and I were talking about that blend after all that like "So uh, that was potent as fuck huh?" LOL. Now don't get me wrong; Chem D does do this, and I could swear I tasted Chem D for a good portion of that mix, but something else in there mixed with it, and the forgot WTF I was doing OG kicked in and we had to settle that down a bit.
I'm thinking today with this cold ass weather and the stuff we have going on (Back yard is in shambles right now as they dig out the Septic Field to replace it and so on) and we had ice on the windows today (REALLY cold today and not so warm yesterday either, flurries and all) and I'm REALLY low on Chem D now.
We only had one seedling of the Chem D, and the Wife mentioned that we're almost out of Skywalker too, which, Skywalker is her go to medicine for her stomach issues, and a good chunk of the time, if her stomach is acting up, smoking Skywalker is almost instant relief for her, so we HAVE to grow more. We have two seedlings of Skywalker in the tent right now, and soon it will be time to put the babies outside so they can do their thing, but we started talking about how we're low on Skywalker, and I said "Well, this is the Chem D we have left....." And it's not even a half Ounce, and I'm like "SHIT!".
So we are thinking that once we have the babies outside, the tent will be empty after we finish sprouting the last of the seeds we're starting to get our crop for this season ready, and instead of calling it a day, it might be a good idea to start another batch of Skywalker seeds, and a batch of Chem D seeds, and put those in the tent, and just do 12/12 and start them out instantly at Flowering so we have some ready quicker.
I've never done a 12/12 run, or any other run really; I help out with the tents in the back, but there's no power out there anymore until the construction is done, and with a smaller and smaller amount of Skywalker and Chem D, it makes sense to at least try running a small batch through that little teeny tent we're using (2 feet wide, 2 feet long, 3 feet tall...) and just keep the plants short so we can fit a few in there all the way through to flower.
Now I know we're going to be changing rooms (The addition is going to be another bedroom and bathroom so we're moving across the hall to a slightly bigger room) but the tent fit through the door after it was assembled so it should fit without having to be taken down and put back up, so depending on how fast everything happens, we should be able to run a batch through for our needs of Skywalker and Chem D.
I've seen so called "Micro Grows" where someone uses a red Solo Cup for the entire cycle (
@Bodean this sounds like it's up your alley haha!) , and the plants looked like they were maybe 8 inches high at the most, with ONE giant bud for a Branch.... LOL I don't know about all that with just ONE branch, but I imagine if I keep them really short I should have room in there to put 4 plants in, and flower them out. This would help because the Wife NEEDS Skywalker, and I WANT Chem D, so it's win win LOL. Never done this before all the way through; I use an LED light to start seedlings, and then I repot them and stick them outside once they're too big and the Weather starts playing nice, but I don't see any reason not to at least try this. The thought has ALSO crossed my mind that some of these Seeds of strains I've NEVER gotten to try would also fit in there if I keep them small.....I may end up doing a Chem D and a GMO in there + one of the new Cheese strains I'm waiting to shove my face into....
I'm surprised at times I don't have weed stuck in my beard given how quick I am to just shove my face in a jar sniffing it. I could run around the woods scaring the shit out of hikers like "I'm Bud Beard the Weed Pirate!" and freak them right out.... LOL. But yeah I am putting serious thought into this little experiment, and if it works out, we have more weed of strains we're REALLY low on right now (I of course have a bunch of Blue Cheese, but I've been using that in a sparing way lately cause normally I'd be out by now LOL) I think I have enough in jars to fill a pound bag or two, but the Chem D..... I could smoke what is left of that in a day.
I mean in reality this would be for speed; If I start the plants right off at 12/12, they would show male or female pretty fast, so I could toss the males, keep the females, and have a few plants crammed in there and then prune them so they aren't too big, and maybe set up some stuff to tie branches off so I can spread them a bit and get a decent amount off each plant.
