Congrats on a fine looking harvest GA, i wish i could speak or understand Dutch.So i could tell what jonny was saying nice clip GA,I must say its sad to see the bog plant go.As it always bought a smile to my face.I was on about the high life cup Ga as that is what i wanted o go to pitty it was it was not held this year.

Like you Ga i to like havest time and don mind trimming at all,Though i must admit at times its abit sad .If you know what i mean, maybe sad is the wrong word to use .Or maybe i just get to attached to our plants lol.

I see you sorted the microscope out i forgot you could use that one ,that is one nice bit of kit .As i said before it looks like you are in for a very good Harvest,and looking at the buds a very nice smoke to.


Looks like you all had a cool time at the party ,

Homusubi, :wave:

HR, you're right, it's like the neighbour's cats, you get attached with them..
The same goes for the plants.
Johnny normaly speaks a lot, this time he was just impressed :smile:

Looks sweet Karma. What kind of cross is it?


Today I started to strip the Green Ambassador Queen at the terrace.
It was a lovely sunny day, so I just stripped the fan leaves and the middle size leaves and gave the buds some more sun :smile:
The Afghan Peace is almost done.

Looking forward to vaporize those sweet herbs at the Harvest Party.

Peace, G.A.

Hi guys,... thnx,

I checked the trichomes yesterday under the microscope.
I flushed the plants the last week to clear the crystals.
The Afghan Peace had still a little amber colors, but the biggest part were crystal clear.
The trichs of the Green Ambassador are clear...

I am a happy man. This year is realy a celebration year!
Harvest is getting closer and more and more friends are coming by... :smile:
Celebration times come on!!

I wish harvesting was easy like this:

The GA Queen looks amazing too bad you need to take her down , I guess its the circle of life :)

The fastforward trimming vid rocks! hehe great job
Keep it up mate!

PS as for the fact that most growers hate trimming (inc me) esp when theres lot of stuff to go through,..
..well I guess its cause we are all more addicted to growing this plant than smoking it lol ..cause funnily I hate trimming more than watering plants .. which from a smokers/non-growers perspective it makes no sense really hehe

Hi l33t,

Thanks for your pm.

"If you can enjoy the valley, you're on the peak" :smile:

The sound of scissors...

The "little kid" at the picture was
12 at that time.
Now he is 27 and carrying this picture with him as a precious memory.
To my experience as well, it were very precious moments.
The other friend is Rastajan, the fist at the icon near the posts is his fist.
He lives at the Commores, a group of Islands between Madagaskar and Mozambique.
He studied art 4 years here in the Netherlands.
A very dear friend and is visiting the Netherlands next year again.

The plant in front of the pictures are the first generation Purple Peace...

Cutting her greatgrandchildren :smile:

Peace, G.A.

Hello green friends,


l33t :wave: I will tell Rastajan...

Frid welcome to this thread...

Bedoin, I love it!! Thanks for sharing (the purple)...

l33t, I can't stop :smile:
Because I thought I made the Growing for Peace final clip, but there is already a Growing for Peace final 1 :smile:

Friends coming over, the queen gets so much attention and people enjoying her presence.

She is almost stripped '" naked".., but I leave her enjoying all the attention and the 20 degrees aftersummer sun.
She loves it. The buds are still swollowing..
I bring her in overnight, because the night temps are around 5 degrees, but the forecast for this weekend is 20 degrees by day and around 12 at night. What a great aftersummer!!
I let plants normaly out 24/7 when the night temperatures are above 10 degrees.

Keep on growing, take care and stay safe folks..

Peace, G.A.

Growing for Peace final 1 :smile:

I think I fall in love to the Queen hehe... She is sooooo beautifull.. You must be really busy now? All the trimming, harvesting and preapering Harvest Party. Unfortunetly I won't be able to come to den Haag for the party... I have still some money from my summer job, but I am saving it for the tickets on Armin Van Buren. He is playing here in my city on November :smile:

Is this Marco on first pic? You can say him 'hello' from me. Maybe he remember me hehe

My brother went to the Army last week... Here is one pics from ceremony:

Hi Cardiel,


Good to see ya... I dropped a pm.

"Fighting for Peace is like fucking for virginity" :smile:
Wish him good luck in Afghanistan, or Irak..

Thanks for sharing l33t.. nice shots.

I woke up very early this morning (7.30 am), because the bakery at the corner was baking the first "Oliebollen" and "Appelbeignets", traditonal Dutch specialities for Christmas and Sylvester..
The Chef himself was baking them and his son in law Mo was baking the cheese croissants and other sweet stuff...
I got one of the first Oliebollen... yummy, bought me some nice Dynamite with it. Good start of the weekend..

Peace, G.A.

clip: "De Oliebollen"... and cheese croissants:

"Bakken met Baard" has an alternative recepy for the "Pepernoten", "Space Pepernoten".
A very nice clip..

And for the Dutch folks... Do you guys remember?
So long ago, but still actual:

Hi l33t, cheers!

The aftersummer is so fantastic....
Lovely autumn colors and morning sun.
Last days sunny and around 20 degrees right now.
The queen is still bathing in the sun.
You clearly can see she is enjoying it!!
I will probably start picking her with full moon, that's in 3 days..

Happy harvest all..

Peace, G.A.
