Zoom out 😇

Ah today's weed, all smell and taste with very little effect for kids and part time smokers with cash to burn and no tolerance. I tell em to go to the sweet shop and save some money. Give me something ugly that knocks me out or blows my head off anyday.

I've got a really nice selection that I like these days, but there's always room for new genes. Speaking of which, anyone tried this from OJD? I Think this will be my next buy (current thinking),
7.Chocolate Diesel Ice Cream cake = Ice Cream Cake Diesel 2 ( super loud funk pheno) x Chocolope Male
8-10 wèeks

Yeah I know, it goes against most of what I just said, but variety you know .

No, all old weed is crap mate. Unless it's 25% or over I ain't smoking it. He'll I even had one person tell me there was no trippy weed unless your a rookie smoker!

Clearly never had some well grow Malawi or Cambodian. Let's not mention the A5 either....

It's always good to try a new seed line now and again but there's a lot to be said for sticking with what you like..

You really think that? I'm of the view that there's more to weed than just a THC score. Besides, everything new, came from something old, there are no new genes, just new combinations and some lines that are lacking those genes. What do you rate that's new ? I must admit, I'm still looking at the old lines, so haven't kept up with these new fangled lines .

Nice thread
I’ll pull up a seat if that’s ok…
I’ve been trying bits of the new dessert weeds (a friend has been letting me have them same price as the regular weeds) and they taste great but I always go back to the amnesia/lemon haze/ chem as they have better effects imo.
I hate buying weed, but my grow buddy’s Xmas crop went badly wrong … I’m telling myself I must weigh the next crop into 2 or 3 gram bags and ration myself… as you say it’s far too expensive

All the best

Hey Mr Brunch
Grab the lazy boy and start the massager going.
One of my biggest regrets was turning down the offers in the early days, ndn guys butterscotch hawian, core offered his cut of the amnesia, jlp's give aways, I turned them all down, what a fool I was. What's the tastiest you've found, forget strength or effect, just taste?
I've been meaning to pick up a couple of those one month pill boxes, fill each section and hold myself to one a day.

 

[mr.brunch]

Had some “uncle snoop” a few days ago which was very tasty and blood orange kush coated the mouth but got a little bit too much flavour wise after a few joints.
I try not to buy as I really can’t afford to, but at least he’s letting me have them for £30 instead of £50 an eighth

Tastiest I’ve had in recent years was ojds strawberries n cream x chem haze but I grew that so it was much more reasonably priced

 

[GMT]

Taste wise, my all time fave was also an OJD line, the ecsd x sssdh he did as a joint project with truecannabliss. At least I think that one was the joint venture. A really nice refresher chew lemon taste. Not bitter, not overpowering, but on the exhale you couldn't wait for the next toke . Just no power to it. Always trade offs to make.
Ah well, enough yapping, I suppose I should get snapping, and add some pics to the thread. I flipped to 12/12 on the 2*4 this morning. Got some work to do in there. Then I'll get on with the show part of the grow show .

 

[mr.brunch]

If I remember right that particular cross was (straw. Cough x the white) x super silver chemdog haze
Really tested the carbon filter.

 

[GMT]

He sent me a bunch of what he had lying around at the time, the bag they were in was labelled straw dog, so maybe . I then started crossing stuff to see what became of it. But I had other preferences from what he sent. The only thing still in circulation that wasn't out crossed was the new York Casey Jones x O.G. Chem, which I had to bred the beefburger smell and taste out of, as it made me feel ill, (no beef burgers or any red meat for me), but loved the punch in the face smoke effect. I stil have it, but include it in the rotation less and less since I found my F3 black G# clone.

Speaking of which
Crap pictures, sorry, lights out during daylight so I can have their warmth at night. I'll do the next shots at night so I can get some nice shots, but by that time, I'll have thinned out the middle and top shoots for a better grow, so took these just for comparison.

Black G#

(Ecsd x SSSDH) x Black G#

Hamlet.

Gonna have to put hamlet on another tub as she's much shorter than the others, she needs repotting too. Ah work, work, work, work, work.
No rest for the wicked etc.
Later chaps.

No mate I don't think like that. Sarcasm doesn't really come across well without the tone.

I'm fed up of telling people this thc is just one part of the party!! The whole thc # game is for selling purposes only..

If you have ever seen Spinal tap, " but this goes to 11!" Is how I see the thc number race...

They look nice and healthy.. nice water mark too..

 

[GMT]

Ah cool, yeah I've fallen foul of the whole written sarcasm pit fall before now. Glad we're on the same page there 🫡. And yeah, I'm old enough to have seen the Spinal Tap piss take film, and to have hung out with bands in the late 80's / 90's. Even ran the accounts for a big one early 90's. Man I'm old .
The watermark was on my camera, spotted it trying to downgrade the resolution from 50mp. Thought I'd pop gmt in it and use it. Never know when the account might get banned again, (had 3 strikes already, I should be out by now) be nice if folks at least knew who's picks they are .

We never used to buy seeds based on THC numbers back in the day. I think Nirvana were the first Web site that even mentioned it. And it was a range if you remember, 8-15% rather than the single number which is the highest it tested at like now.

Like the way Dj breeds I smoke for what it does to me not the number that it produces.

You can also get the old Free Leonard from BC bud depot which is the G13 x the butterscotch. I did grow it out but can't remember much. I might actually buy myself a pack... They call it the big.

 

[GMT]

What's that Nigel Ben + yum pic in your gallery? No branching just bud. Never heard of either of them.

 

[HalfArsedFarmer]

Nigel Benn was a cross I made of the old 98 black Dom & 95Nl Yummy was yumbolt 2002 from Tony x 95NL.

They were both SOG grown mate. Both were SOG darlings.

 

[GMT]

Ah, ok thanks.


So, I bent everything outwards, into a sort of canopy, and now it looks like this

Which is a little bit better. Still need to raise Hamlet up.

 

[GMT]

Flowering has officially started now 70 days to go and counting down.

 

[mr.brunch]

Lovely stuff
I’ve been looking at monthly pill boxes since you mentioned it …. It is medicine after all… I’m thinking if I can ration myself to 2g a day I should be fine. Therein lies the problem.

wish we were on the same land, got way more than I can use

 

[mr.brunch]

A very kind gesture, thank you
I’d probably be ok if I didn’t give half each crop away… I’ve even tried to help him grow some himself but it seems some people just can’t keep on top of it.
Pill boxes for the win

Hello GMT! Seems to be some very experienced growers here. So I will be sticking round to ask questions and soak it up. Currently building my first ever indoor grow room. It's a WWII bomb shelter. The walls are 50 cm thick, took me three days to break through. Anyway great plants GMT, I'm going to whack some.more voltarol on my arm now. Peace .
