Bushweed's Wollumbin Highland Grow 2010/11
- Thread starter bushweed
- Start date
Thanks mate, I'll check that out. This will be the first time I've ever grown anything I know the name of lol. But in the past I always managed to find a couple of strong ones amidst the bagseed. And this year the Nimbin Haze has already jumped to the lead in size (hopefully this doesn't portent the arrival of balls), and originated from a bag of very nice smelling, psychotropically cerebral dope.
Photo update later in the week.
MM x hash joint last evening. 
Supposed to work today...
Plants are growing + getting a couple of hours of fluoro light every night to simulate a 14 hour cycle. The first Mango has been overtaken by the second, the second Mullum Widow has stalled completely, but everything else is flourishing.
MH1 (1st to pop, now 4th largest)
MH2 (3rd to pop coming in 3rd)
MW1 (2nd to pop, equal largest)
MW2 (4th to pop, now smallest)
MW3 (last to pop, now vying with MH1 for 4th place)
NH (5th to pop, now equal largest with prettiest foliage - pale leaves, fawn stem)
Top 2 orange pots are Mangos, other orange pot is Nimbin, black pots are Mullum Widows.
Looking forward to germinating some more in 12 days, once the moon is in its next waxing cycle...

Lucky bastard!! Paradise!!!!
Welcome guys, there's a few remnants of old growth forest around here - that was a giant Strangler fig - sibling of the Moreton Bay fig. My favourite trees are these massive old figs - White fig, Port Jackson fig, Weeping fig etc. In India they paint any large Banyans or Peepul trees (also figs) white - to denote Divinity. They're basically natural temples.
I'm a bit of a pantheist so living here tends to support some of my pagan sensibilities I reckon anyone who likes these scenes should move here - a paradise for surfers, tree huggers, smokers and svelte yoga girls!
Here's a shot from the western rim of the old volcano looking back to what's left of the core - Mt.Warning.
The ocean's 30ks east of the core.
And another perspective from Above Doon Doon which is just over the range from Mullum:
We just finished Mango season a couple of months back and the missus and I ate a couple of perfect ones everyday thanks to a disused orchard a short walk away And then there's the biggest avocados imaginable - I know of at least 15 local trees of whose fruit I am the only beneficiary.
Sunshine Coast hinterland 100 ks north of Brisbane is similarly beautiful, but then again there's beautiful natural spots right down the East Coast. I'd still call this the lucky country...

hey bushweed is that anywhere near the glasshouse mountains? i have a lot of family there, it's where my grandparents grew up lol apparently my grandfather climbed each mountain in the glasshouse mountains in a single day back in the 40s-50s
I like seeing pics of members home environments. You get a bit sick of looking at cannabis all the time. Whether it's the tropics or the snow or elsewhere. I would love to see central Australia in the mix, the deserts. I used to work in Tully, FNQ, Far North Queensland, don't think my indica would survive there.
I've lived near the glasshouse mountains - 1 hour north of Brisbane - a very beautiful place with great dope growing conditions and the lava tubes are magnificent. Close to the Woodforde Folk Festival. Gold coast is 1 hour south of Bris. Mullumbimby is 1.5 hours south. Stradbroke Island is one hours east of Brissy and is stunning in the way of the Byron beaches.
Funny thing is Brisbane's a rather plain city. Not a bad place, just a bit boring.
me too ,, really love those volcano pics ,, what an awesome place ..
on the indicas high country , yep they will survive in the right time of year ....
Love the early morning shots there bushweed , looks soo crisp and fresh ...
Hey Donald, all.
Here's a shot from a friend's window what I'm lookin out of now seeing Brunswick Heads in the distance:
Yeah I'm lucky alright I got this highland cow shit I go and collect, it's one of the most relaxing things to do (picking up shit in a paddock). And I'm not bullshitting - it smells like the best heads! It comes from the Hare Krishnas farm at Eungella - bout 25 ks noreast of Mullum in the photo below:
I pick it up in great big pizza sized patties, and I carry it on my head in threaded plastic sacks - best way for a coolie to carry it thru rough country - end up getting shit on my head, which I hope might arrest the hair loss. Some of the missus flowers
The best thing about growing this stuff is the hours spent nurturing and gazing at your plants. Then you sacrifice her to Shiva on a flame of spiritual love and so on.
Kanga reckons I need some lime, chicken shit and rock phosphate to do the job properly with the setup I have now. To me lime and chicken shit sounds like a Thai meal. Ha there's Thai in all the strains I'm growing. I'm hoping to get away with less fertilising is more. I'm too tired to carry all that shit up the top. But I'll sprinkle some of it around.
