Found this Emerald Cup link interesting.
Been to EC once. Did not go to this event. Got it email. DJ Short...3 shorties but interesting...Not just about THC high....The quality of the high.
Hope the link works

Link works fine and DJ makes a good point! I really like AK-48 because it is so energizing and gets creative juices flowing.

[oldjarhead100]

very interesting Tika thanks for the link

[Tika]

Both White rhino down. The first one big buds and frosty..The 2nd one not so Big at all but frightening sticky. Now snipping at Borderline (wont grow again) and Aurora indica to see who is next since I have Honeysticks veg...All sativa ..climbing up my..ass.

[oldjarhead100]

Tika you have as many clippers as I do lol and I have them all spread out like that to so I have them wherever I'm at

[Vapo69]

looks awesome Queen T.....sativas lol.....climbing up lol ...

[Paracelsus]

Busy bees get the honey

[Tika]

1 Aurora indica down 2.5hrs
Which e break then back at it

[Tika]

Indeed. I have to stand the whole time. Luckily my taborette is above my waist.

[Chefbjy]

Nice Tika. I have to take several breaks...bad back but that's a good idea...it's like a prep table. I stand at one daily and I'm going to try that for next trim.

[Paracelsus]

I can tell you have a nice Aura Aurora.

[Tika]

Aurora 2 down. Both White rhino and Aurora had very little waste , relatively easy to trim, and so promises of good stiff bud. White rhino being superior in firmness.
On to the second Borderline from AMS. They are triggering my poddymouth big-time. Just not up to snuff, a lot of little green cabbage, AND throw in a lower case of thrips....
Making the lower buds not fit for cook or shake so ...Harvesting the top shelf of them only and coming problem to go whack some bushes outside to smash down the weed in my recycle can. This recycling of little smart pots, Coco mix in HS testing plus harvest is another leg of labor plus cleaning the tent really good to move the tall ass Sativa's into it. Just the reality....Frustrated that I can't get it all done at once. The harvest is just fine. Will post tiered net next
Again- thanks for hanging with me

[Canuck147]

Go smoke some scissor hash and fuhgedaboudid.

[Locrian99]

Very nice. Have you ever had the AI turn the blue like the nirvana pic? Assuming it’s a temp thing

[Tika]

I'd be "tits up" and enough blood spent relatively sober. Love all your company.
This is the close on this thread.
As I harvest and sNip off the LST ties recalling when I put them in...A state of melancholy.
Thank you for your presence, your companionship, your humor, advice, and encouragement
I celebrate you near and far YOU ARE THE BEST💋😍😘🥃🐶
My fondest regards
Tika

[Bluto]

Wow. Very nice! What is that other plant? It is really interesting looking.

[Tika]

Bluto thank-you 😊 the other plant is a Cymbidium orchid with a succulent and some Contortium.

[Bluto]

That sure is a beut as well. My wife has gotten into orchids lately and is developing quite the passion. Showed her the pic so now on the hunt for one. Haha. Thank you.

[Tika]

Well...I am going to continue the Honeysticks grow here and post the phase 2 of dry/cure process of White rhino, Aurora and the motley Boarderline as well. Saves some jumping around. If all works out there will a PDF of the Honeysticks when the grow is done.

First day in months that I'm not climbing a ladder to open up the tent! My dogs made me get up anyway. Today's agenda: start phase 2 of dry/cure on a few early sticks and then FINALLY select which Honeysticks pots go to flower and which 2 (I think ) for outside. I plan to select the shorter-bushy ones for inside for obvious reasons.i didn't quite gather all 3 strains were sativa dominant. The 13 in veg areas below. Honeysticks also provided 2 more packs of seeds- one pack is feminized😜 more info on them coming.

Your company delights me. Thanks😊

[Chefbjy]

They are gorgeous 💘

[Paracelsus]

Fabulous Tika, did I ask you which kind of T5 Bulbs you use? I have been looking at T5 bulbs from the aquarium market. There are two German brands that price out around $25 per tube. They come in different spectrums they have deep blue aqua blue floral blue daylight and for red bulbs bulbs That can be mixed and matched. Have you looked into this?

[Vapo69]

hubba hubba .....cant wait☺☺

[Tika]

Paracelsus I use VitaLUME bulbs. 6500K. Never have tried mixing it up....I get them at my hydrostore ( who also does mail order) .

[Paracelsus]

Thank you Tika! 🌝

[oldjarhead100]

@ Paracelsus I get mine at HTG supply .com also there 1000lightbulbs.com I haven't bought anything from 1000 in awhile HTG sells 65 k bulbs 4 for 20$ cheapest Ive found

[Paracelsus]

Thanks OJH, well I’m really hoping to find is someone who used the commercial bulbs and then tried the high-end German brands so I can find out if it’s worth the difference in money. Aquariums are a high-end luxury item but the Science and engineering in the industry is also high-end. A fish tank might have $10,000 Dollars or more invested in it. So I am curious to find someone with experience with those two brands from Germany.

[Tika]

The Yin Yang of a good harvest
Huge ass load to fold and house cleaning....

[Locrian99]

Yes it looks very deliberate, every stem has a place and is in it.

[Paracelsus]

What Campozino said above,so very artistic.
I have taken a new yoga class called yang yoga
it’s very long relaxed floor asanas, the gravity is almost neutralized and very different from Hatha.
I like it, I like you🐞

[oldjarhead100]

Tika I got to water my plants yesterday while the kitchen floor was drying lol . today I will be harvesting 2 photos and 3 autos ,Photos have been in dark for 4 days autos 3 I was supposed to chop yesterday but alas Life happens lol had a great day with 3 of 12 grand kids

[Tika]

Thanks folks 🤗🤗🤗

[Tika]

LST/canopy getting in place. 60 days from putting seed. heading into flip...probably7 in tent the rest outside. Grem reaper highest standing females...Here are 6 will wedge the 7th.
Thanks for observing😏
love ya

[Vapo69]

WOW!!....look at all those root tips!!!

[oldjarhead100]

those look amazing Tika . I see you use the same plant risers that I do ,I bought mine at HTG supply for 2.54 each originally I got 10 then came home and looked up the manufacturers price it 5 something so I went back to htg and got 20 more dont think I'll ever run out lol

[Paracelsus]

Why are you going to give the seventh plant a Wedgie😃? Lol You sure have Saviour Faire

[Tika]

Busy day of transitioning:. Moved & fed the "downstairs " veg area plants (5) to outside (1 of them went upstais to the flower tent). Broke down the downstairs space so that I can wheel the new wagonettes inside at night. Moved the upstairs veg area plants (6) into the flower tent for FLIP TONIGHT! Cleaned that veg area. And still jockeying about with the cure process...In and out - finding the zone. Aurora indica the highest yield by volume- haven't weighed. White rhino 2nd. And screw the Borderline...Just hope she's a good smoke. Canopy good for the moment in tent-24" tall from bottom of pot.outside wagonette 25" tall for some reason. Lights set at 18" above canopy. Have many smart pots to breakdown-pain in the ass task. Perlite in the yard rubs my OCD the wrong way. THEN there is the Germinating of the next round.
I'll await for the itch...Not eager to be mixing 2 different batches of feed yet.
Contemplating making dry ice hash tomorrow (1 hour found trip for dry ice) . After last Sunday's newsletter freeing information that trichomes don't need to cure! I have a heap..Probably need10 lbs of dry ice- to shake out. ( actually hate it) BUT I yearn for the meditative moments of knowing the flip is on, all are fed, the cure of past harvest in place , all have been burped and I can sit quietly and make pucks. Anyone knowing philosopher Gurdjieff it's the 7-8...A complete effort.
I really like the purpose for all parts of the cannabis plant. I don't make tea from stems but will use the stems for Artie stuff. I save everything🤪 currently making butter.
Rain coming....Can't complain as we are still in sever drought conditions.

Just really ran at the mouth but have no one else to share it with other than you wonderful folk. 😘🤗🐶
thanks for hanging in.

[Chefbjy]

Lol you're so busy Tika. I had no motivation today, maybe because I ate 3 cookies that I made with cannabutter. 😄

[Paracelsus]

🌝 I love it all Tika. When you say upstairs and downstairs does that mean you’re humping these plants up and downstairs are you going into a basement grow area? Sounds like you are a perpetual motion machine. Jk 😄

Gurdjieff I will have to re read it has been a long time and I could use a break from reading about fungi, microbes and bacteria. Did you know we evolved from fungi? Lol

Paint your Wagonette https://youtu.be/xnbiRDNaDeo

[Tika]

Not motivated..Just had to do it. Lost some motivation on my gummie bear OD the other night. I do not do well with edibles ..At all🙃🙃

[Paracelsus]

The majority of my grow after harvest will be for edibles. I just can’t smoke anymore I gave up cigarettes more than 30 years ago. Sometimes I would have a cigarette when I was drinking but that was a long time ago too.
I have chronic bronchitis over the years it comes and goes when I Smoke. I had psychosomatic asthma as a young adult that I outgrew. I know when I smoke and believe me I smoke, I have a coughing fits that I always just try to ignore. I like to play guitar when I’m stoned but the coughing was getting ridiculous. I realize my behavior was not responsible because I was ignoring the damage I was doing to body by smoking. What made me realize this was I couldn’t play without coughing which of course I tried to ignore. didn’t bother me as much as it would bother the people I was playing with who were concerned for my health. So I have cut back smoking even a couple of puffs sets me off. With the price of weed I could never afford enough to cook some up so that is the main reason for the Grow.

[oldjarhead100]

Paracelsus have you tried vaping , you are going to get lots of bud to cook with have you decided how your going to render it

[Locrian99]

Tika i was curious when you harvested your AIs. If I remember right this is a strain you’ve grown a few times. So just curious if you waited for amber etc and what kind of effects you desired. Thank you!😀

[Locrian99]

Cool I’m debating taking one of mine pretty amber for some knock out bud. Was just curious if you’d tried that.

[Tika]

For me....It knocks me out anyway...I'm a cheap date🙃

[Paracelsus]

Inexpensive not cheap
