🪷Baba’s 2024 Garden🪷

[Baba Karuna]

The days are still warm and the nights cold but well nice freezing and the longer flower expressions of Peruvian are still going strong. The skies are mostly clear so I am allowing the trichomes to ripen to my satisfaction the smells are heavenly with notes of vanilla sweetness and light plastic astringency

What month do you usually have to harvest?

What autos are you working with/developing?

I have always been interested in the super autos since I saw “Stitch” release some but I never took the plunge as the ones I found online were feminized and I prefer to work solely with regular seeds. The semi auto traits of the Egyptian Sinai have been highly beneficial for crossing with Pure Sativas and I am in pursuit of isolating the earliest version of the Sinai. Have you grown any before?

Those teas sound lovely And those mullein look huge have you made tinctures with it?
I need to get into the Spagyrics, they are so interesting. The first time I encountered that type of tincture was in Peru where this older Italian gentleman had produced a Spagyric Huachuma Tincture that was basically liquid mescaline

Intention sets the tone, my teachers made it clear that ingesting anything with intention can bring intense power and transformation. I’m sure you know what I’m talking about

Perfect I will collect some seeds for you. You deserve to have a nice Tulsi plant. The tea it produces is delightful, especially when mixed with mint and or lemon balm.

I also grow Mullein, Tulsi, Nettles, lemon balm, etc. Have you two ever grown Klip Dagga? I grew some last season and really enjoyed them. The flowers attract ants, bees, and even humming birds. They have a light psychoactivity that feels similar to cannabis and are used in traditional medicine in several cultures.

I do, I put it in my smoking blend. I've always called it wild dagga. The hummingbirds love it, that's why my wife got it. It was only later I realized it was useful. If I smoke a whole J of it, I feel fairly loaded.

Ah, wild dagga, that makes sense. I've also had the flowers as a tea, which is similar but does not feel as strong as smoking. I don't understand it well so I am hesitant to use it frequently. I'd be interested if anyone has more information about its traditional uses. Not much information online that I could find. It was a fascinating plant though. I collected seeds and plan on keeping it going next season.

This is what we call baldhead,klip dagg/wild dagga.

That's the stuff! How do you use it, smoking?

 

[Goodherb]

More so ,dry draw it with hot water, as medicine. Against flu/cold like symptoms. Remove mucus. Dry plant in the above pics ,is for a family member to take to the United States, next week.
The medical Cannabis industry here on this island (Vincent and the grenadines,west indies) are using tropical medical plants fusion with cannabis extract, available to the public.

I believe older generations(of yes today) ,use it in they smoking pipes.
I will reconsider using it ,as a blend ,in my herb.
JAH give the fruit of the plants as meat and the other parts as medicine.

I grow a lot of autos, especially for CBD/CBDV plants that I can grow 9 months out of the year. For the main (photoperiod/THC) harvest, early October has been as far as I can push it, but usually mid or late September. Generally, the year winds down with a succession of "damn, botrytis!" Harvests. I don't mess around with trying to cut off the bad buds and keep the plant going anymore. Once I see it, I harvest.
The microclimate in my back yard is good...I've had a big white sage plant going for ten years, which is not something that generally does well in this area. So my yard is a fine place to grow as long as I can finish it by the end of August. That's where my interest in true sativas with auto genes comes from.

On the subject of super autos, the breeder stitch that you mentioned is where the super auto sativa lines I have came from (unintentionally). In 2018 I bought a number of his strains, largely because he had the only regular, autoflowering sativa seeds I could find. One of those was called strawberry jam. It was supposed to "stay quite compact" and yield an ounce or two. I put a few in pots and one in the ground (excellent soil, I'd bury old crab guts and chicken bones in that area) and the one in the ground turned into a monster. I tied it down, it just kept growing and reflowing. It took five or six months and yielded well over two pounds! very fruity and spiritual. Sometimes trippy. Unique and excellent. I call it the oneness, for all the times I've smoked in my back yard and saw the oneness in all of creation. I got seeds, some pollinated by a strawberry jam male and some by crappy older stuff with a heavy ruderalis influence that I'd been using for breeding before. That plant is a true blessing; I'm very grateful it found it's way into my garden. I've grown seeds out multiple times since. None quite as good, but some of them close enough that I felt like l still had her. I crossed a strawberry jam/oneness p2 of those with another seed from stitch ("Ace" described by him as the purest auto sativa on the market. A mix of haze, Thai, and lowryder 2. It was a femanized seed). I've been playing around with those for a few years. I have 2 lines from that combo that I can use as a starting point. I'm going to cross one of those with ace New Caledonia, Ethiopian and Nepal Annapurna this year. I'm limited on space here, but I have two other locations to grow at...my friend who appreciates the limitless free hash, and my mom who is happy to do whatever distracts me from drinking too much. That allows me to minimize unintended pollinatio


That San Pedro tincture sounds like something special. I didn't know it could be so concentrated.


I've never grown Egyptian Sinai before, I'd never actually heard of it before reading your wonderful grow diary.


I've never done anything with the mullein other than put a little in a smoking blend. Have you used it as either a tea or tincture?


One of my very favorite medicines to make is similar to herbal bitters. I just mix up loads of herbs from my yard into a giant tincture. Every batch is different, depending on what is available and what feels like the right stuff to add.


I hope the big fires are far from you and that you and your family are safe and healthy

I just so happened to have found my pipe today, safely tucked away in a spot only someone who was super stoned would think was a good spot (which is why it needed to be found) thank you for the inspiration, my friend. Perfect timing.
