Peace of mind

Peace of mind

Good stuff, I didn’t even see it when I was typing but that is funny. Of course George is a fictitious name and the bush is anywhere outside of the city. Still very funny.

After being plunged in to the depths of hell (a state of mind) for an eternity (time is relative) my personal path to enlightenment crosses a breaking point. By separating myself from attachment I am able to maintain happiness. I do not need anything or anyone to make me happy, this includes my beautiful cannabis. I will enjoy her again but on my terms.

Cerro Monserrate

Cerro Monserrate

Here's some pictures from Cerro Monserrate in Bogota. This is about 10 minutes from my house. It's pretty cool to go up there and take a look at the city. Of course most folks around here go to the church and pray.

You can clearly see my house from here it's right there.

This mountain ridge towers over the city and must be well over 3000 mts. You can't drive up there but there's a cable car or you can walk but trust me you better be in very good shape to walk it. I ride up and walk down.

It is the Colombian Gold pheno of a CGxJamaican seeds I get from USC.

Smoke was trippy and intense.

I made hash from a lot of it because I had buds all over the plants of various maturity. It was the best hash I ever had. Really loved the high from that stuff, but man I had to wait forever.

Do you feel like we do

Do you feel like we do

Yes indeed that’s the big difference, although I’ve never grown anything under a light bulb Equatorial NLD strains really need the tropical sun to express their true potential. Cannabis is very adaptable and will grow almost anywhere corn will grow. However without “adding” or hybridizing the flowers simply won’t be the quality of the equatorial high altitude sun grown. I believe that you can get a glimpse of the genetic profile from these strains grown indoors or out door at higher latitudes but you will not see their full expression. It will take a while but consumers will soon recognize this subtle difference if they haven’t already.

This is Santa Marta gold that I collected in the Santa Marta region grown to perfection in full sun at 2,700mts 0 degrees. The effect from the cured buds is epic.

Some thing's simply can not be replicated, the sun is just one of them.

Imports

Imports

The imported WLD strains I grew out here also really dig the intense sunlight too. But without a "veg" time they tend to grow into 18" bud sticks that finish in a few months as opposed to the domestic NLD strains that seem to grow forever.

Sour Jack

Compressed NLXHaze

California Snowcap

Although there was no yield (I don't care about that anyway) the smoke was super potent providing real medicine. Not so much for getting "high".

is that a little roll of compressed weed, or hash?

Hey there Miraculous Meds, thats just cleaned flowers super compressed in a pollen press. I made a few of those when I went on a trip out to the campo a few years back.

The strain was NL X Haze

This is a cross I made with my Santa Marta gold (above) and a Dutch Afghan. I know this cross would grow well anywhere. It was a spectacular smoke, like no other but nothing like the mother. The Afghan really took over with a powerhouse stone that would just put me down (in a very delightful way). Unlike it's Colombian mother it had no soaring motivational "high" replaced with an overly euphoric stone that just made the whole body say ahhhhhhh.

How much does that compressed bud weigh?

How much does that compressed bud weigh?

I'm guessing a couple grams, I don't own scales.

Let's penalize the consumption of chorizo and chicharrón, which are more harmful than marijuana!

Ha ha! Anyway, good move if they go for it. Taking it in one big step makes you work it out for everyone - a single plan that makes it legal and works for medical.

That is funny about the pork but its true. I will be quite though until it goes through. However I did plant over 50 blacks seeds.

Smoke break is over, 25+ days. I think there’s something to be said about taking a “break” and that is it’s over rated and should be avoided whenever possible. So with zero tolerance I picked up another offering from George. It’s very colorful with a nice red/gold flare running through the non-compressed buds, not too much of a smell or taste. He didn’t say it was crippy but it’s certainly seedless fat buds seem to point it in that direction. This stuff hit me hard too after not having any for so long. The smoke didn’t expand in my lungs at all and I felt it upon contact. Really heavy in the head, confusing in a most delightful way. I just didn’t realize how painful everyday life is, the hit took all the sharp edges and smoothed them back into place. I felt so much better in my mind and total body, so much so I immediately set to organizing my work for the next day. However I soon lost interest as the munchies from hell took over and to be blunt I ate way too much fruit. The buzz seemed heavy again after I ate and sleepy finish but refreshing. Now after a few sessions I’m getting a good tolerance but still getting a very good effect from one or two hits at a time. If things grow right I should have some seeded Black flowers by late December. Photos to follow.

i came to the same conclusion in 2009.

been sticking to my principles ever since!

Exactly, just because you can, doesn't mean you should. In fact when hear about people taking "smoke breaks" I feel sorry for them and rejoice when I hear they've "reconnected". Weed is very much like happiness, you should never be separated from it for very long.

Is it the sun or the higher RH (better suited VPD) that you experience there that makes the biggest difference?

Welcome back from the smoke break Red and thanks for the reports and pics as usual!

Is it the sun or the higher RH (better suited VPD) that you experience there that makes the biggest difference?

Good question, my theory is simple, straight forward and in my eyes quite obvious. It’s all about latitude and altitude, the closer to the equator the better. Let’s face it, the sun shines the brightest at the equator, it’s the most intense light source we have. Now you take into account altitude, every thousand feet up the light intensifies. So I’m sure you see where I’m going with this, El Dorado is indeed in Colombia. High altitude equatorial long flowering narrow leaf drug strain, dirt grown, sun ripened, finished with care. And just for fun, hand run dry sift.

I’m getting carried away again but yeah man it’s the sun.
