Happy Sunday Morning! Wife and I went fishing yesterday, and I took her out across the bar from Coos Bay out to the Pacific ocean for the first time in our little boat. It was SPECTACULAR! especially for February. The sun came out, the wind was calm, and a 4 foot swell (which is small). We didn't catch anything, and for some reason, our main motor wouldn't start back up. Thankfully, the little trolling motor got us back in (very slowly).
We're also thankful that, since we had plenty of time near shore, we could call the Coast Guard guys and let them know what was going on. The young men and women on duty at Coast Guard Life Boat Station were all very helpful and ready to come out and help us if needed. They called and checked on us, and kept calling me captain, which at the time, I thought was rather cute. After thinking about it later, I think it's more than courtesy. It's a reminder that the driver of the boat is responsible for the life of his wife and 2 dogs when you put them in your boat and take them out into the ocean. Many thanks to all of them!
And thankfully, we're home safe. And the girls are happy and well. Death Star is still hanging on the last ounce or so at 14 weeks. Now I really know how early I took the first half. What a difference in smell in the jar. The first cut is cured after about 2 weeks in the jar. Very light smell of hay and pecans, gentle dense smoke with a soothing head and body high. The second cut is getting nuttier, and even a little roasted coffee. Thank God the cat pee went away. She will finally come down this week, if not this weekend. She's been getting flushed with molasses water for about a week. Her leaves are about done for.
Jack Herer is coming along nicely. Since Death Star looks like she's running out of leaves, I'm defoliating less assertively, but lollipopping more to focus on the bud I want. I have her clone in DWC ready to join her in the tent soon, so I don't have to let her keep all the little stuff. Her little buds are starting to develop trichomes, the lightest of frost.I want to see what being more selective with the buds will get.
Any advice on pruning branches?
