Chopped some plants today. Wet cold weather on the way. Tom’s Haze. One of two plants I chopped. Spaced on photos of the other one.

Been off the sites and behind schedule, but what’s new. Definitely been having some life things going on. Sold my old property in midtown San Diego but still in it part time for a few months. Been spending more time up at the grove property. Getting planters ready and finally starting some seeds MMJ, vegetables, medicinal herbs. Lots going this season even though I’m four weeks behind.

I think I’ll be taking over the grove property full time. It’s a haul from my kids, but it’s a smart financial move and it offers a lot in the way of future ‘green’ potential. More to come in the future as we kick this ‘24 growing season off.

I‘ve got a number of Ace varieties including some pure Old Timer’s Haze this season. Some of Maha’s newest releases. Some of Nobody’s nursery beans as well a few other neat ones. I’ll put a list up in the next week or two. I’ll also be sprouting a bunch of the new Tom Hill Haze seeds a little later. I’d like to grow a number of them in 1 or 2 gallon pots. Keep them small for selection and some inbreeding. Maybe do the same with some of the ICMag Haze and maybe some from Todd. We will see what comes of it all. So far, the weeds up. Some tomatoes, tomatillos, and a few other things. Lots of the medicinal herbs will take weeks to sprout. Hope I can keep them happy while I wait. I’ve only got one of the many GuerroBerry Berry’s sprouted. I may burn through the last of the Oax x BB seeds just to get one or two more up and hope for at least one male and one female.

That's a good plan to take over the grove property. It looks like such a good place to grow things. I wish there was a longer grow season here. The first frost here is middle of October so the outside grow is normally 6 months. That sounds like a good grow you have coming up.

Here’s some shots of the planters I’m starting.

The deep planters have small logs, sticks and leaves filling about half way up and then the soil mix I put together on top.

I have a couple of planters that are just filled with the planting mix. Pretty much nothing but garden veggies and herbs are going into the planters. Tomatoes, hot peppers, beans, eggplant, tomatillo, cauliflower, cucumber and melon. A few other misc things planted here and there.

There is a fair slope down the hillside I plan to terrace later this summer or early fall. Then put more planters in a flat area 2/3 of the way down. I have space for 100+’ rows if I really want. I’ll likely put a walk way down in the middle and just keep adding planters over the next few years. I plan to establish some medicinal herb perinneal plants down there and have another sloping sunny spot as well. Current soil is decomposed granite and sand. This will be a multi-year project likely to amend the soils. I need to get some bocking planted in different spots for top dressing the soils.

A number of potato bags with new drip lines installed. These only get direct sun till about noon (6 hours), so let’s see how they produce. I have I think 4-5 varieties.

Here’s what I’ve got going so far this year…

You can see the three Kona Uprise (third row from left) looking pretty uniform in the early stages. Three Blue Sting are second row from right. I’ll take some cuts of everything that’s not feminized and sex them in a month or so. All females will find their homes in the grove either in ground or large pots hopefully by the second half of June. I’ve got three Old Timers Haze sprouts…so likely have one or two of those going until January of next year. I’ve got the Guerro Berry (Mexican Higland x Blueberry…though so sad that only three good plants are up from the old seeds - 15 attempted). I’ve got a couple Ace Panama crosses (Golden Tiger and Oaxaca). Some Blue Scream from Nobody’s Nursery and Doc D work. Oh, and I have three Destroyer x Grinspoon up courtesy of Two Tone Genetics gifts. As usual…lots of sativa leaning crosses. I really should dig in for a couple indica plants just for a night stash.

I’m also thinking I’ll pop at least 1/3 of my new Tom Hill Haze beans a little later this season for selection and will likely OP them as well save all keeper male pheno pollen for future exploration in that line. Clone any keeper females for flower runs in the future. I need to start sampling last years three THH phenos soon too. Should be a busy summer and fall.

Old GuerroBerry (Highland Mexican x Blueberry). Had a helmet head and I decapitated it (or so I thought) trying to take the seed coat off. What’s the over/under on this little guy pulling through and giving me 4 plants of 15 seeds popped? Taking bets cuz the money I spent vs viability is not too super.

Been so sick, my current plants are a little slow. Going to start kicking them into gear. Need to get going. I did get a few new varieties wet today.

Hope you feel better. Looks like a big round of haze.

How was the cure of Acid Beauty? Mine is quite decent.
