how do you rip lead out of a bullet and turn it into a screwdriver? thats one of those hillbilly tricks haha

You can take a .22 bullet out of its casing almost by hand, but it's easier if you grip the lead end with a pliers and pull it out of the casing. Dump out the powder and slightly flatten the casing and you have a thin bladed screwdriver. Larger caliber shells would be stronger than .22's because the casing is thicker.

i just got back to the farm ,was in santa cruz for a few days having fun and handling some business. It's finally starting to hit me how much stuff there is to do in the next couple months. Beach time is over now, its time to grow some weed.

popping seeds this week, probably will sprout about 100 seeds of different Bodhi strains to end up with 24 prime females. once they sprout i veg them under t5's for a week or two, then they will go outside in 5gal pots until their final transplant.


It will be nice to have a bunch of plants to choose from, as long as the local pigs don't stop by like last year. If they do come i hope it's at least after May so i will be within my legal plant number limits. I hate the stress that causes.

still trying to figure out what strains to grow this year. We can only have 24 plants so decided on a limit of 10 varieties or less. Ancient OG is one, still need to choose about 5-9 more. i have narrowed it down to:

Dream Beaver
Snow Leopard
Tranquil Elephantizer v2
Blueberry Hashplant
Dream Lotus
White Lotus
Soul Train
Satsuma
Golden Triangle
Love Triangle
Snowqueen
Solo's Stash
Sky Lotus
Stardawg x Goji f3


So hard to choose!!! plus I dont know which of these is a proven "big yield" but if anyone has info i will be stoked. last year we averaged 8lb per plant except the ancient OG which was 23lb from 2 plants.

That part definitely sucks. I'm in that phase right now. It's totally different in CO though. I still hate being over my plant count just because of the nervous gut feeling I get every time I'm chillin with the plants. Im just lookin for those super vigorous stand out girls.

That is 24 full sun plants that they "see". Put a gate on your driveway. Lock. No trespassing. Put up a hoop or two and keep extras in there...even with flyover they can only see 24 full term and can speculate on hoops but no judge will issue a warrant based on that. The solution to your problem is gating the bottom of your driveway. I am triple gated, personally, with a driveway over .5 miles long. You can never be too safe
The bigger "barrier" you have while still looking respectful (24 full term), you will never get a visit. I'm speaking from personal experience...hope this may help :)

we have a gated property, didn't matter last year when the local weed task force hiked up the driveway to count plants.

I'm in the same county as you..... you can't just have a gate. It has to be gated, locked, no trespassing signs, and fencing from gate surrounding property. If there is room for them to walk past gate they will. That is not illegal. It is very illegal for them to climb your gate without a warrant. Put a game camera on your gate, if they climb it, they are in deep water. How do they know you even have weed? Is it visible from the street or at any point from outside your property? If so, then your in a much different position. I've been in the county 3 years, with not one compliance check. Every neighbor I have grows, not one of them has gotten a compliance check. And yes, the choppers come visit us late july every year. They only care about the guys they deem "irresponsible " growers. Hope this may help a bit. You can never be too safe.

the property doesn't have a fence just a gate blocking the driveway. putting in a fence would cost a lot, plus i dont own the place. Our friends a few miles away got checked last year also and they have a fully fenced/gated property with cameras. im not surprised the cops fucked with us last year. they dont like out-of-towners so we were the first to get checked. Having a fence probably wouldnt stop them , it looked like a swat team type thing

i dont think they will come back this year. they punked us pretty good in 2014. I mean fuck dude how many times can they walk up my hill without a warrant for "code enforcement"

I think they fucked with us because we aren't locals.. In the sheriff's words "we dont want this turning into humboldt"

Ahhh ok, makes sense. Ya they just walked past. They totally violated your buddy though. Quick tidbit. I came here as non-local too and knew that would create some uprising so layed extremely low first year or two until established great relations with neighbors who happens to be great friends with sheriff. My other buddies who came here at same time, acted stupid. They were loud, rubbing what they were doing in neighbors faces. Cleared massive plot of land basically planted orchard....had out of state license plates even (freaking idiots )!!! Let's just say they did not make it past season 1. These small towns create envy and jealousy and most people have nothing better to do than wonder why the new young guy in town is far more well off than they are!! Be safe buddy! Good luck to you this season!!

Sounds like a crappy week for you then. As a pitiful little small plant type I can't even contemplate 100 plus seeds and 6k indoors too.
This is my sad face, you can't see it, but it's there.

They don't need a warrant, if they can been seen from the air they have probable cause to enter the property. No plants in the open ftw.
