yeah, I like it too.
But I thought you made it yourself because you enjoy cleaning so much. In which case you are more than welcome to pop round my place sometime ! :p ;) :biglaugh:
Yes - I do find the cleaning process kinda meditative - it's something we have to do our entire lives - starting with ourselves - then working into our surroundings - to keep it all clean and smelling lovely - the alternative bears not thinking about -

- Hmmm - I do have this habit of washing up all day - since cooking/making a mess - is something I love doing - and often - when I visit friends my interest is in cleaning up their kitchen - as I chat with them - no wonder they like it - if I drop by - <scratches cranium> -

I´m currently cleaning my windows - 2 more to go. It is pretty satisfying once you see the difference. It´s incredible how much dirt they manage to collect. We get a lot of wind and rain at times and it the dirt which is in the air just sticks to the glass. To make matters worse there´s a motorway nearby which means even more air pollution.
Lockdowns were so nice because the air quality was soooo much better :)

which strains can help you enjoy doing your chores around the house more ...??
The search continues

The air quality is pretty good where I am - near the river and greenbelt land - at the far south-western area of London - the huge parks locally must add alot of oxygen to the air - I never feel like the air is polluted - after living in some other global cities - that were much, much worse - like Manila - Bangkok - Chaing Mai - Los Angeles in the late 70's was awful - and I've known London in the past when pollution from burning coal was a thing -

I find that the best way to clean right - is to first have a strong cup of black, brewed coffee - then maybe a coupla hits of whatever 'erb you have around - most prefer varieties that give you an 'Up Buzz' - e.g. longer flowering sativas - but for me it doesn't matter - so long as the coffee keeps me focused and active - I can toke virtually any strain/variety - and still be compus mentis - and get things done -

I grew out this one plant from some seeds I crossed, and then grew out a few. There was this one plant out of several females. It had an up high instead of the stoned high. It also had another effect if you smoked it after you got stupidly high to where you where too high, it would bring you back down. I wonder if it was CBD or some other cannabis compound.

Found some seeds inside old socks, don't even know what exactly is there, sure it's a good weed!

Sounds simple to me - uncomplicated and stress relieving - keep us updated Marz -

Hey Gypsy, thanks for asking.

I'll open a thread and ask for help to identify this plant structure, still believe it's a skunk but need more certainty. For now, made a couple of investments in air, lights (Vivosun) and seeds.

Customs here almost don't work between Christmas and carnaval party, so I'm still waiting for beans. Dropped 2 males and 1 full hermie, just one left, but thriving, 30 days into flowering.

The smaller plant is a hermie (HST just before flipping), already dropped. I need to breed but not for now.

Been a little bit busy this morn'in burying my 4 fibre cups with Malawi x NL auto/fem seedlings 🌱 in them into the pots that will be their home 🏡 till September - on the balcony - then spreading a ring of dehydrated garlic powder around them with crushed egg shells - to ward off the slugs - since I found that last year the ever growing slugdom empire had made its way up here - and was munching on my plants at night 🌙 - this should deter the slimy bastids from snacking on these baby seedlings this year - and lead to better growth -

I'm using a basic and cheap multi purpose compost this year purchased from The Pound Store for £3.50 for 40 liters - and the seeds were gifted to me by my friend @dubi of Ace Seeds 😀 👍

Yes - we much prefer eggs with a tan - and dark yellow yolks - kinda 'spensive though these days -
lol is there anything which isn´t :( Even the potaotes at the cheaper supermarkets have gone up by about 2 EUR these past few weeks. So 2.5 kg now cost almost 5 EUR. Unbelievable . Used to be a low cost basic food but soon they´re gonna be officially classified as `luxury´food , yikes!

You are going to have a forest on your balcony. :headbange
Yeah WTF not? - lol

- Well - you never know what might screw up - or the weather gets up and does the screwing for ya - might lose a plant 🪴 or two - who knows - maybe a marauding flock of rabid bunny rabbits - invades the apartment block - and eats some of them 🤔 (stoned again) -

Cool strain. Very interested about it. Looking forward to your grow.
Thanks Cvh - I take that as a compliment - let's see how these 2 very different varieties workout -

Yup - ehh - mustn't forget to show you all what products I'm using - to make the grow/show more thorough and interesting - 😉

Here we have Rajah garlic powder - no artificial colours or additives (its just dehydrated garlic powder ) - and brown eggshells from big brown eggs - from big brown free range chickens (they get to run around) - first rinsed off of all the albumen sticky eggy stuff - then dried and ceromoniouly crushed in a Bacofoil litre zipper plastic bag - for anti-slugdom defences -

* Imagine if you were a fat greasy/slimy slug - and you were trying to get some weed - then came across a crushed eggshell and garlic powder barrier - that you had to get over - to get the weed - lol
