The Canna Embassy organic homegrowers thread

[G.A.]

Hi guys,

Yes Pipeline the soil level stays like that. I think 200 liter is more then enough for one big plant.
Esben AGG, I've been your private reporter today... lol
I was watching the news this morning and I saw our prince Willem Alexander signing the register for his new daughter.
The name of his new girl after princess Amalia and princess Alexia is princess Ariane (you don't say the e at the end) Wilhelmina, Maxima, Inez.
So when I saw it on tv I took my camera and walked to the old city hall of the Hague that's almost around my corner.
I made the following reportage...

Peace, G.A.

Willem Alexander took his time to shake hands and receiving the best wishes...

How to stay on top of things w/ the reporting G.A.! At 1st I thought they were putting the baby in the trunk, lol!
You're just going to have one plant in that planter box?
Alas Darpan, the "Fun w/ Buds" thread didn't really catch on here...on to other things!
There is a thread asking for pics of Purple Peace here: Purple Peace Pics Please

Seems all my grow shots got canned via OG, but I did have alot of fun w/ those buds! :wink:



A great weekend to all! Still unspring-like here.

Dutchflower and/or esben, how does that leb27 compare to the lebanese from Bluehemp, or are they completely unrelated? I've got some of their leb and was looking for some grow/smoke reports, but can't find much valuable info.

Yes Pipeline the soil level stays like that. I think 200 liter is more then enough for one big plant.

The more the merrier! Such a big container is really nice, I have one myself, it's chuck full of used soil from indoor grows, I guesstimate some ~800 litres or so. If you put a couple of wooden beams at each corner you could make a huge outdoor scrog.

This year I'm growing out Blueberry, as I already mentioned that Lebanese from Bluehemp, Afghan, NYCD and maybe some Jackberry and Killing fields if I've got the space, both crosses from "sannie". I'll post a pic here every now and then.

Greetings Blowmonkey! Paz just finished a Bluehemp 'Leb'. You can visit him here: Paz's Temple Looks very nice, done under the S.A. sun, but it did 'hermie' on him.

 

[G.A.]

Hello all,

Blowmonkey good to see you.
I am so glad my neighbour made that box!
There are also sunflowers and Morning Glory on the other end of the box.
I feel finaly quality and quantity are balanced and just fine at the Canna Embassy.
We had a couple of days summer overhere. Today is 23 degrees and a gentle wind blowing.
I am very bussy at the moment and I wish I could spent more time at different forums, but it's hard already to keep this one going, I am not complaining, but it's just a matter of time and space at the moment.
I mad a walk through town and made some nice shots...
The plants are still bathing in the sun.
Catch you all later folks....


Greetz, G.A.

 

[G.A.]

The plants at the Canna Embassy terrace and my neighbour are just doing fine....

 

[G.A.]

Men I realy love taking pictures.

 

[Karma Genetics]

Hmmmmm ice hash.....

That remembers me i still got some nice popcorn buds and small leafes in the freezer, I am going to make a run today.

Moving some off the seedplants to a flowering room. Lets hope there is one keeper between them. I found a lemon male already a fast one . I am thinking off make a cross with it combined with the happy brother. Will make some pics off the nice litle flowering room today and show them tommorow.

Have great day all..

 

[Blowmonkey]

I realy love taking pictures.

I noticed. I love watching some of those pictures. Don't stop posting them.

Highlighter, thanks, I haven't seen those latest posts of paz. Still, it doesn't tell me a huge deal. One positive thing though, or actually, err, not so positive, I'll have to look out for hermies now, those dreaded, dreaded hermies..

I hate them. Hermaphrodites have ruined my last seed crop. I was trying to preserve some genetics from my Orange Buds, had only a couple of seeds left from 2 pheno's, OB#1 and OB#2. The OB#1 was one of the nicest plants I've grown uptodate, perfect for outside, whereas the OB#2 really is an indoor strain. One of the parents must've been a hermaphrodite however, so bye bye to those wonderful genes.

I was thinking of making some seeds with the lebs, so I guess I'll take some clones in the summer, put them into flower, stress them a bit and see which ones tend to herm. Added benefit will be that I can make a much more informed decision regarding which plant to use as a seed mother. Lot more work though, hope it'll pay off.

 

[thepureskunk]

Your young plants are looking very nice GA

I plan to start my outdoor seeds in the next week as the weather here is stable enough i think..

Lovely pics from everyone. Have a great season, TPS

"Last season's silent witness" , too funny G.A.!

I had a repair guy coming today, so put the seedlings in the cold frame today, they're 1st taste of mother sun! Been miserable weather here, but supposedly better by Sunday. Good to get them acclimated on these overcast days 1st. :wink:

 

[G.A.]

Hello all,

Thanks for sharing folks.
It's a little colder today, but still 13 degrees.
Coming night will be 2 degrees.
I am a little sad, because the city cutted 40 trees in front of my house, because they want to change the road.
But the plans are changed and we don't know yet what wil happen with the road and they cutted the trees anyway in a babarian way..
Daily over 2.500 cars, busses and trucks are driving by and polute the area.
We got a letter on the 13th of march that they wanted to cut the trees, As a thief in the night they came a couple of days later at night to cut the trees.
But as you can see at the pictures they didn't do a proper job. Sad.
The trees at least gave still oxygin
They din't realy cutted the trees, but halfwy they just broke the tree with a machine with a grabber.
So the trees are still alive and new leaves and branches are coming out the trunck of the tree.
It looks like "to live and let let die is the new political motto instead of live and let live.

The plants at the terrace are growing nicely.
We hadn't any rain for two weeks now and the last week is been very warm.
Now a little less, but on sunday the forecast is 23 degrees again....
Keep on growing peeps and stay safe.

Peace, G.A.

Hi(gh) Canna Embassy

Darpan I remember you told me that they were maybe opening again the channel along your street, do you think they are doing it?
It would be nice to see some water from your window.. better then some new parkings!
Those poor trees, still alive..

Copy and paste from another thread:

>>>Dutch crash burns 3 tons of hash<<<

AMSTERDAM, Netherlands - Three tons of hashish went up in smoke Friday, incinerated by Dutch authorities after a van carrying the illicit cargo crashed and scattered it across the road.

ADVERTISEMENT

Detectives were hunting the van's driver and a passenger who fled the scene, leaving behind the wrecked vehicle and its $20 million cargo.

"It's not something you see every day," police spokesman Hielke Vogelzang said, adding that police were tracing the owner of the van, but "it may be stolen or leased."

The crash happened during the morning commute on a highway outside the town of Avenhorn, about 20 miles north of Amsterdam, police said.

Vogelzang said it was unknown whether the vehicle's occupants were injured, but "we're confident we'll catch up to them sooner or later."

Police said the van was heading toward Amsterdam when its driver lost control for unknown reasons. They said eyewitnesses saw the van hit a barrier, flip and clip another car before coming to rest. The two occupants ran away.

Packages of hash were scattered around the area, local media reported, and Vogelzang said that hundreds more were found stacked on wooden pallets inside the van.

Marijuana and hash are technically illegal in the Netherlands, but under the country's tolerance policy, police do not arrest anybody for possession of small amounts.

It is sold openly in licensed shops — which, paradoxically, have no way of legally acquiring their chief product.

I'd have loved to be there before LEOs arrival... hash self service

Have a nice weekend growers
