TychoMonolyth, is Groundhog Day the same in Canada as it is in the USA? I know you folks have a different Thanksgiving Day and the metric system and all that.
It's tough now a days. Houses and people everywhere and cameras all over areas where infiltration into wilderness near businesses with no people at nightIf it's not a good spot, it's not a good spot. And I mean at least out of eyesight and earshot of a house and not too much traffic.
Yep. Same thing. Little fuckers said we'd get 6 more weeks of winter. They were wrong. Been raining lots and snow is almost gone here and Maple Syrup is flowing.
We have the odd Provincial 'holidays' that are different. But federally, the only ones that are different are 4th of July (ours is July 1st), thanksgiving (different day), Victoria Day (queen) that we call "May 24 weekend" because people drink a case of 24 when we they start the camping season that weekend. The other half plant their weed that weekend. lol. I think that's it. Everything else is the same. St. Patrick's day parade is canceled this year.
First of July is weed legalization day in Oregon, this year will be the 5th anniversary.
Argh, I'm wracked with doubt about my list of planned starts this year - can't decide if I'm planning on starting too many, or not enough. Stupidly low # of legal plants here, which hasn't stopped anyone I've heard about from growing more, but I neither want to end up with a huge # of females, nor left holding two dozen males. At the same time, I was hoping for a variety of plants, so I was going to start a handful of 2 or 3 strains and then single seeds of a number of other strains. Feels like there's a lot of risk with this plan.
Decisions, decisions.
I'm in Grrrmont, we have a weird system where you can have 6 immature females, or 3 mature females (maturity being measured by visible flower formation, whatever that means). I think there is a point in terms of #s where some kind of criminal penalty kicks in, but before then it's a civil fine I believe. Open to interpretation, but I think I can have as many males as I want, and as many pre-sexed plants as I want. Unclear what the effects of it largely being civil is, but I would argue it kinda destroys probable cause when it comes to search warrants. Legislature comes up with some weird stuff here. Not really worried about legal ramifications so much as not wanting to draw any kind of attention. Lower #s means I can spread them out on my land.
I definitely would've started plants earlier, but my wife put her foot down on growing in the house awhile back. None of our outbuildings have heat, so keeping plants over the winter isn't that feasible. I am looking into cuttings as a way to get a jumpstart. As for my current plan, I thought I'd start 24ish seeds, veg until it's time to put them out, take cuts and flower them indoors, and cull males based on results.
I think I came up with an easy "duh" solution, my first round of starts was going to be 3 Sour Boggle, 6 Gorilla Ghani, and 5 Stardawg x Apollo 13. I'll just up it to 5 Sour Boggle, that'd at least increase my odds of getting a SB female.
