The Canna Embassy organic homegrowers thread

[Farmer John]

Hehey G.A!!! Garden looks fantastic like always, did that Sidinal work? We had a massive mold problem, pm&budrot both on the other Danish Passion monster we had outdoors but we managed to get a load of healthy seeds, the plant was heavily pollinated by two very sturdy males...much love and good vibes, will be flying to Holland next month but probably stay in Mastermad eeh Amsterdam for a couple of nights...

Hello world,


Don't ask me how, but somehow I managed myself to make the ethernet hardware going again!
10 years ago I still said: "No compouters for me"! Look at me now... he,he,he

Farmer John good to see ya.
Yes the Sidinal did the job. I don't know if it's because I saw it already in an early stage. No problems anymore.
If you come to the Netherlands and like to stay as a guest at the Canna Embassy you are most welcome.
It's just 40 minutes from Amsterdam by train.
We can make a nice beachwalk and I can show you some nice places and have a quality smoke.
Would be nice to meet you.

Esben, today I couldn't manage to make pictures of the Teheran Peace (devil).
I was lucky because my friend is going to chop her tomorrow, because she has some serious mold problems.
So maybe when I am lucky a picture of the Teheran Peace.

The weather is great at the moment.
No rain anymore, sunny and around 17 degrees.

Because I was bussy with the computer mostly all day to fix the internet connection, I only made some pictures of the Purple White Peace (Purple Peace X White Widow) this morning. She is looking very promissing and smells unique.

Peace, G.A.

[Farmer John]

That is good news about Sidinal, we really need it here if the weather stays like this for many years, too wet....sounds like a plan about coming to meet you, 40mins aint much and would love to meet and go for a walk, I can make it happen, talk to you soon!!!!

 

[G.A.]

Guyute,

Green Ambassador it is. Looks very sweet.
Does she smell sweet? I love them both Green Ambassador and Purple Peace.
The F1 offspring will be very nice... I am sure.

Maxima, the wife of our fututre king Willem Alexander was very purple.... lol

A lady with compassion and her heart at the right place.....
Living in a "golden cage".

Today was a sunny day again.
It looks like a very nice aftersummer.
Around 18 degrees and almost no wind.
I made a nice aftersummer walk.
I visited my dear friend Charya.
I was welcomed by her dog Ike and his toy. :smile:
He has a lot of energy and always wants to play.
The Teheran Peace (devil) is looking very juicy and smells nice.
After I made some pictures of the Teheran Peace (devil) and the White Widow sisters in her little paradise garden we went for a walk in het Haagse Bos
(The Hague forest).
Ike couldn't wait anymore...

So funny this little guy.
So much energy and a very "social" dog, involving everyone in his play.
Jack Russels have a lot of energy and realy needs to walk and run a lot, because they are very energetic dogs.
If you don't do that they get very nervous and restless at home.
They love nature, love haunting rats and rabbits, loves to get a stick out of the lake, or river, or the sea.
They are very good friends with horses.
They are perfect "playmates".

This is a little clip I made of Ike in the forest, involving us in his play..

Good day, my friends!
Nice pics, G.A.! I like the lamp heads tilted in to one another, and Ike's pet dog looks so real, lol!

Today I got a chance to visit my PP. It had rained for 3 days over last weekend, so I was worried about mold. Indeed, I did find some.
Also, there are alot of weed seeds stuck to the resin! This may have helped form the mold, as they were getting alot of the weedseed stuck to them last visit.
The good news is, I found a seed poking out of a calyx! Last visit, I felt around for seed and didn't find any and thought the pollen had been too old w/o freezing it. So Im VERY happy! It's been 4 wks since I pollinated, and I'd like to wait another week. Trichs are mostly milky, w/ a few still clear, and no apparent amber. So I will visit more often to keep an eye on the mold.

This 1st shot, in the center you can see a weedseed, and just to the left of that, you can detect a bit of mold.

Hi High,

That's realy looking great! so dark and purple.
Good thing that you assured yourself of the following generation!

Yes those lights are so funny.
They are located near the former working office of our queen.
Now it's the Escher museum.
My girlfriend and I asked ourselves if it's vandalism, or art... :smile:
The Hague, the international city of Justice, Peace and culture.
Also the hometown of our queen Beatrix and our governement.
Last tuesday on "Prince Day" queen Beatrix, Maxima and future king Willem Alexander drove by in their golden carrage.
I just could manage to take a picture in the crazy orange crowd. :smile:
Today is promissing to become another nice sunny aftersummer day.
No this is no picture of the sunset, but sunrise!!
Have a nice day folks...


Peace, G.A.

From queen Beatrix to Jimi Hendrix, the guitar king.
Today it's exactly 38 years ago that one of my inspiration sources, the legendary Jimi Hendrix, left this earth.
I still remember the sweet Purple Haze of the seventees...
It changed my life.. :smile:
Still dreaming of a "Purple Peace Haze"...

Jimi good old chap, thanks for "being".

Rest in Peace..

He has a Purpurea Princess and a Purpurea Ambassador.
They look so swet. Good care there buddy!
It was another sunny aftersummer day...

In some cases People that use medical Cannabis and have a recepy from their physician can grow their own medical Cannabis now.
This is the verdict of the Dutch high court.
"Wellbeing of people comes before rules".
A medical user was caught with 43 plants 4 years ago and was not aloud by the court to grow his own medical Cannabis anymore.
He took the case to the high court and during that time he grew as a protest 5 plants in his garden.
Now the high court made her decision that he can grow his own medical Cannabis again.
To make it work for all medical users the law needs to be changed.

The case is brought to the European court, but he doesn't have to wait for the decision of the European court. From now on he and some other medical users of Cannabis can start to grow their own medical Cannabis again.
A little sparkle of light in dark times....



LEGALIZE!!

Hello all,

Homusubi, the ladies are enjoying the nice aftersummer weather.
The weather is pritty "steady" now for the last couple of days with a lot of sun and the forecast is the same for the coming days.
Even a little better, because the night temperatures are going up.
As soon it starts to rain again I will harvest the Purple Peace bowl.
I gave them also some Bio Canna Flores and Bio Canna Boost.
Plus me talking to the ladies every day.... :smile:
They look very happy, like the butterflies, ladybugs and bees... and some wasps that do their "cleaning work" on the plants.

Have a great weekend folks...

Peace, G.A.

What to say?
Just a lovely aftersummer day.....

Purple Peace flower 4 weeks

Harvestable Purple Peace bowl

Afghan Peace X Erdpurt 5 weeks

 

[Karma Genetics]

Just wanted to show you some Purple Peace shots....

Mighty Might

 

[G.A.]

Hi Karma,

Thanks for sharing the positive vibes.
That looks lovely and juicy..

Talking about positive vibes.
The great aftersummer sun is still shining and doing a great job on the flowers.
They start to smell so sweet now.

The Purple Peace in the bowl can be harvested.
All hairs are red. I give her a couple of days more to ripen the seeds a little.

Peace, G.A.

 

[Bedouin]

Hello, nice plants man. This is small bud for test from my shaman

Greetings from Poland

 

[G.A.]

Like that name Bedoin....
Welcome (back), reminds me of my Kuwait friends.

The most interesting people you meet "on the way"...

Nice bud. Looks like a Purple Princess X Erdpurt... :smile:

Shaman it is... Must have a sweet smell.
By the way, did you know that the color purple is one of the colors that has a positive effect in food (antioxidants)?

http://eatingveggies.blogspot.com/2008/05/blue-and-purple-food.html

The Haze is a male after all.
I removed it before the little balls will open and spread it's pollin. I don't cross it with the Purple Peace Queen, just for the reason that the Haze is flowering too late and as you can see the Purple Peace Queen still needs a couple of weeks as well, while the Purple Peace in the bowl (what looks more like the Purple Princess) can be harvested already.
I pollinated only a little of the Purple Peace bowl and the Afghan Peace with the Purple Peace male.
Still doubting what to grow next season.
Probably when springtime comes I will know... :smile:
I couldn't take any pictures anymore at Miss Muffin.
I should have known, because she likes to grow the "Early Girly" and she harvested her "girlies" already at the end of august!!
Good strain to make other strains flower more Early and it's a very potent and weather resistant strain.
The Early Girly is a strain grown years ago, at the Canna Embassy.
It's a cross between Shiva and Early Girl.
Keep on growing folks, take care and stay safe, wherever you are...

I hope to see some friends of the Canna Embassy and Icmag and not to forget our "online OG'ers" at the Canna Embassy Harvest Party on the 19th of october in The Hague. Celebrating 25 years of homegrowing and 15 years of Purple Peace...
For more details you can drop a pm, or email.

Peace, G.A.
