Thanks for the kind words. I enlarged the photo of Shabbo and it wasn't until I could feel my cheek muscles stretching, that I realized I was smiling from ear to ear. I am a great fan of cats, they soften my mood and just generally make me feel better. When it comes right down to it, cats have made me a better person.
OH, I can feel your love over the net for Mr. Shabbo and your love of cannabis.
The Mrs. is calling I have some chores to take care of.

Drippy, what's your growing process like with these plants? It looks like you are doing coco with a drip system? What kind of nutrients?
Buds look great. And so much foxtailing on this strain again!

Hi! It's nice to see you again. I am using 70/30 coco/perlite with a drip system. The system comes on 5 times per day and the final feeding/watering event is longer than the rest for run off. Mostly I use Miracle Grow and Jacks 123 supplemented by PK Bloom in later flower. Every now and then I will use Cronk Nutrients' Bonnie and Clyde along with some of their additives. To be fair, I have not realized a single difference no matter what nutrients I am using. Mostly I look and listen to the plants. I won't switch from Miracle Grow to Jacks until I see the Nitrogen pushing limits, then I switch to the Jacks and use it until the end. I also add the PK Bloom when it looks like it's needed. That is a 0-34-34 and works extremely well. I put 1ml cal-mag into every liter of water in the garden also. Most likely I will be adding an RO system for water pretty soon. I just raised the price of my weed and will fund a couple of improvements, redundancies, and upgrades.
That Hindu Kush is from seeds from a different vendor and it foxtailed like the earlier plants. It's pretty strong weed and gets me super high. I like super high. My friend has a nugsmasher and we smashed and dabbed the Hindu Kush for a couple of hours. It was heavenly. I try to harvest this strain before it gets amber and dark trichomes because the high at maturity is very different than the high past maturity for this strain, although either are to die for!

If you haven't noticed, I grow a lot of wide leaf cannabis as, I love the narcotic effects of the indica. I've introduced an exquisite sativa to my garden, White Rabbit, a decidedly narrow leaf cannabis.
White Rabbit is a cultivar from Hi Elevation Genetics of the following cross:
(Good Clean Fun x Sugar Pine 211)
Both of these wonderful sativas resulted in a strain so resinous and ultra potent while being relaxing and calming. Check out the trichomes growing! She is week 4 and getting frosty and soon drippy!

Packaged more weed for the boys. I'll take it to them this afternoon. I used to charge them $50 an ounce, but have since raised my prices to $100 an ounce. The boys are the distributors. They buy everything I bring them. It's a great relationship to have.

Agreed. It's the consistent bane of my existence. I took new pictures and edited the post. Time to run a train on my dab rig!
Is that a big scratching post for Shabbo?
Who or what is Hidden Farms?
Thinking back years ago, when outdoor weed was mostly available. Indoor started to become in demand replacing outdoor. Some people were still trying to pass off outdoor as indoor and then someone would come across a single small pine needle in their bag of bud.
Hindu Kush, those are chunky looking buds.

Yes, that is a big scratching/climbing post for Shabbo. He sometimes naps inside of it as it has an opening on the side and the top that he can fit through. Him and his brother, Fanther Panther Belly Danther, have a few items around the house specifically for them. The climbing tower is one of their top daily destinations.
A couple of years ago I grew some Dior Runtz, which were a strain that Hidden Farms was growing. Once I had the strain going it was pleasant to grow, dry, trim, and cure so I locked my systems down for just Dior Runtz production. Then when I started pushing the weed to the distributors, I decided to improve my packaging and labeled the strain with the original farms logo. I have since decided to use up the remaining stickers rather than throw them out and then I came up with my own to avoid future problems.
My new brand will be New River Farms Cultivation. This is original and will serve the same purpose. I added the new label for your perusal.
That Hindu Kush grows fat and is easy to trim and clean up. I may stop growing it for a bit while I check out some other flavors. My room is able to support 64 flowering plants with a perpetual harvest every week so hunting through strains is not as daunting as it could be.
Have a nice day!

I think it's important for a cat to have things they can identify as their own space. I read about it one time and when we had our last cat made sure he had 2 benches with cushions and a viewing area. Also taught my cat to only scratch on the sisal wrapped legs of the bench. He never ever scratched anywhere but there. I miss my cat, when I started to experience health problems I spent 24/7 over years with my cat. We became best buds.
Then cancer happened, I tended to his needs in the last month of his life, it was heat breaking but I did my best to keep those feelings at a distance. There would be a time for grieving later. Now I can look at his photo and remember the joy we shared. He was somewhat aloof but a beautiful spirited cat.
If your in the business of marketing a product, it's very important to be recognizable for who and what you are. I'm no expert but have attended a few business starting seminars. When I returned to college in the 1990s marketing was part of my course content.
I like the color of your sticker, the font is easy to read, everything seems spaced nicely. The only thing I'm a little shy on is, what is it you cultivate? Please don't take me wrong, I could be misunderstanding your marketing approach. My 75 year old brain can get in a tizzy.
You have a productive looking room, plants are healthy and happy. I can tell you put your heart into your project. I wish you all the good fortune in your venture.
I mostly use cannabis for it's medical affects. I even take it like it was a prescription. I recently purchased some seeds that favor the kush region. Looking forward to trying them in the next crop if all goes according to plan.

This is a Triangle Kush. I harvested one about two weeks ago and am comparing the results of around 6 different suppliers of either seeds or clones. This one was from seed and still has a couple weeks left, and she is filthy with trichomes and stinks to high heaven. I love it and can't wait to try her out.

Happy Sunday!
After documenting status of all seeds in my operation, I found that the seedling mortality rate was 43.6%. Holy shit that wasn't acceptable so I looked at my process and made some improvements. Two thing immediately came to mind, support and defense against fungus gnats.
For support I added a plant label with a zip tie loop attached to the end. It works pretty good as none of the seedlings fall over before I can assist. With these it just works.
To keepfungus gnats out of my operation I put course sand on top of the pot after the sprouting event. Fungus gnats put a hurting on the roots and seedlings just won't recover from gnats damage.
This tray of 18 had 16 sprout and all are up and viable. The seedling mortality rate improved to around 10.0%, which is a huge improvement from 43.6%.
Shabbado Gigante has been hanging out on the dehumidifier today. He turns it off and stuff when he is mucking around, looking for a perch. He doesn't get regulated by anyone.

I share your thoughts on the importance of having the proper environment for a cat. They truly need their space. They have cots, benches, posts, and can climb on quite a few things in their areas of operation. Shabbo and Belly both are good at not scratching on the furniture. It sucks your health is a sore spot for you and your cat. Making memories constantly is a good remedy for what comes at end times.
I never really considered running a trap house, but then again I never realized my expenses would quadruple just because the rich people need more yachts. I returned to growing after somewhat of a hiatus simply because of the amount of money it cost per year. Not paying the plug for $22K of weed yearly is a good financial move for my situation. But then I realized there was an excess, so I gave that away to my family and friends. They never have to buy weed as long as I am growing. A few years ago I called the guys that I buy weed from and started selling them better weed at better prices. There are three and I refer to them as the boys. The boys move about 20 pounds per month through their normal day to day business. I infuse the sticky shit I am growing with some of the local dispensary type weed. I decided to package professionally because no one else on the street is doing that. It's all low cost plastic bags with no bag appeal. Once I started labeling and packaging the boys reported that they could charge higher prices and people would ask for it specifically. That led me to make my own label. I was using black market labels and labels obtained off the internet. We push around 500 pounds of weed out to our local community per year and I don't want to have to deal with a copyright or trademark issue. That would be bad. Sometimes we cultivate the land for gardening and sometimes we go out of our way to cultivate good people. Not a lot of thought went into the label.
Thanks for your kind words about my room, I worked hard to put processes in place that could lead to a modicum of success. It takes a lot of thought and attention to keep it all happy and moving. Good luck with your next round of seeds! I look forward to seeing how the Kush region performs for you!
you too?
