Most of my garden has been of the large fat bud variety. Sometimes I plop something a little different. Here is Gelato #41 aka Bacio Gelato. I grew this specifically because I have a white paper that studied about 20 strains for Skunk smell. Bacio Gelato won by a measurable difference. I want to know if it's true. We will see.

I think back to my earliest years of using and growing cannabis, small buds always seemed to be noticeably more potent and with more nuances than larger flowers. A strain I grew for years outdoors looked like it would grow big flowers just by the thickness of the branches, but no it grew small heavy buds. My grow buddy showed me how he had 1/4 lb in a small zip freezer baggie. Small and heavy buds with strong potency.

My friend had ordered skunk seeds in the 80s from the Netherlands and we ordered M-39 and something else. We had a rural mail box for delivery. We shared the seeds as we did on other orders as well.
I can remember the skunk smell well, it was unusual for the time. I also remember how gritty the resin was from the skunk, very sandy in nature.

The #41 small bud is very photographic, well done on all counts.

Hope things are as well as can be expected.:)

I found a place that sells Bubble Hash online for $20/g. It's ice water extracted and filtered 120u-72u. It's really good too. I love how the Hemp Bill essentially opened the gates. This was a test purchase. They sell Bubble Hash and Cold Cured Rosin by the pound.

Shutting down my grow one area at a time. I only have two plants for smoke and thirteen different plants for various seed projects. Once these finish up I will clean everything, paint the room, switch over to organic soil and then crank Drippys Garden back up nice and fresh.

HI SD...:)
How late into flowering have you pushed bamboo stakes into the soil for support ?
I usually push the support in as soon as I put them into the flower area unless there is a net trellis in the area already. If I need to add a support later I usually slide it in the edge of the pot. I have gimped a plant in the past by staking it through a critical root, probably the tap root is my guess.

Thanks SD...for one reason or another I didn't get the plants staked early now I'm 4+ weeks into bloom. I will have to give this some thought. I sometimes forget how fast time goes by. Plants got off to a slow start because of a change in soil, I wouldn't want to do anything now to disrupt the momentum. Maybe I can devise away without staking. My tent is small 3'x3', perhaps I could tie some 4"x4" plastic trellis to the frame of the tent and lower it into the flowers.

Like turning 76 this year...first your young, middle aged and then your old.

Any particular reason why your changing your growing medium?

Why do you change from coco to organic soil?
There isn't any real reason I want to switch. I may not even do it. I like coco. It has served me well and let me pump my plants up without fear of drowning them. My friend went back to Serbia for a few months and left me a couple 1000W lights, a bunch of organic nutrients and additives, 100lbs of Promix HP, bags of loam, and bags of worm castings. He didn't want to pay to put it in storage so he dropped it off at my place and said to keep it. I ran a couple of plants in the soil side by side some coco and found it to impact the plants differently. My hunch is that coco is superior but I want to really try it. I have been growing in coco for a very long time and really like the ease of it and the amount of control you have on nutrients and water. The more I think about it the more I think I may keep using coco and add the organic soil into the rotation a few plants at a time. Coco grows layers of trichomes and I don't recall if organic soil is comparable in that regard. It should be but we will see.

Thank you. It is a luxury that I am very grateful to have access to. I have two more 1000W lights and am thinking about taking over another area about the same size as this one in the same dwelling. I would have to buy another light, but have everything else needed to get this going. It has been on my mind for the better part of a year. I would love to have the additional production space running full speed. Plop, chop, and boom!

I use convoluted pots that go in and out around the side of the container and I put my stakes in that. I always have a dozen steaks in my plants just before they put in the flower. I’ve never seen your thread drippy Sally and I’m quite impressed with your skills. And here all this time I thought you were just another pretty face…bwahahaha
