Good morning,

My sample for tomorrow is still drying, it looks and feels scrumptious! I have it hanging from my ceiling fan in the bedroom strapped onto the glass light cover with a rubber band, the fan is rotating on its slowest setting. The room is completely blacked out. This is a pretty good quick drying method & Oh My, there is such a nice smell when "Ole Sabo" wakes up in the morning!

It's a beautiful day in your neighborhood

Let's All Sing Along (Mr Rogers)

Won't you be My Neighbor:

It's a beautiful day in this neighborhood,
A beautiful day for a neighbor.
Would you be mine?
Could you be mine?...

It's a neighborly day in this beauty wood,
A neighborly day for a beauty.
Would you be mine?
Could you be mine?...

I've always wanted to have a neighbor just like you.
I've always wanted to live in a neighborhood with you.

So, let's make the most of this beautiful day.
Since we're together we might as well say:
Would you be mine?
Could you be mine?
Won't you be my neighbor?
Won't you please,
Won't you please?
Please won't you be my neighbor?

Sheesh, I haven't posted on this journal yet? Been following along, just never piped up, I guess.

+reps for the pretty outdoor girls!

 

[Buddy Ebsen]

Hi Graytail,

You don't have to post, when I see your "Likes", that is more than enough information for me to continue. If you would have saw something I was messing up on, I am sure that you would have given me a suggestion or two!

Am going to try & re-veg 2 SKNLs & may have some questions for you.

Thank you for the + Reps!

Yer welcome!

One thing I think I learned about reveges - don't let them go too far into the finish if you want to reveg. I had complete success with my SLH, but I failed with the Jamaican Dream and the Utopia Haze. The SLH was harvested early, and I let the others, especially Utopia, go to the end - they were old, brown and tired when I chopped 'em, and simply died.

Looking very nice!

Lots of yummy cola's, my plant is like a mini version of yours - just wish it looked as healthy! Keep up the good work SABO!

04/27 Test Sample# 2 Report Skunk/Northern Lights

Alright, I snipped a small branch 2 days ago and dried it by hanging it on the ceiling fan and letting the fan circulate on low for 2 days.

The bud was not completely dry, but much drier than Sample# 1 from a week before. The resin was sticky when I broke it up, not as much as the 1st sample. I mixed it with some toba**o & the mix proved to be adequate for testing purposes.

Result of Test Sample:

Aroma: Skunky, Sweet, smooth smell.
Taste: Not harsh at all, in fact getting smoother, didn't taste as sweet, but skunkier. Easy to inhale, no burning or coughing. I did not taste the sweetness of the molasses this time, since I discontinued use 3 weeks ago. Molasses will be reintroduced that last 2 weeks before harvest.

Resin: After lighting, the joint turned a nice brownish/blackish color. The ash was dark gray. It burned completely through this time, so the ceiling fan idea worked better.

Effect: Nice Head buzz after about 10 minutes which lasted 45 minutes & then it turned into a nice body buzz with a great pain relieving effect. The total effect lasted a good hour and 1/2.

Summary: I now firmly believe that this going to be some real darn good smoke. I have decided that I will let them go the full 9 weeks as recommended to fully maximize their potential. Next Wednesday will be the last feeding with nutes & I'll prep for harvest by flushing & adding the molasses for the more enhanced sweetness when the time comes!

Duration and type of effects you describe would be great for me to quit smokin sagrits....

Here's a Rookie mistake. Nothing better than some self critique.

Yeah, the Alpha cola looks nice, but I should have payed more attention in flower and pulled it down to evenly distribute resources to the smaller colas. I won't complain though, but will know better next time.

In this picture of a 2nd AK 48, the colas are more even
