Welcome to page 2 
March 19:
Too busy to play in the garden much until today... Father in law bought a new used truck, which decided to throw a tie rod end when he brought it for me to test drive. So yeah... I broke his truck... Then I fixed it, so I think we're all good.
He like my grow closet... I'm certain he'll be setting his own up at some point this year, I'll try and convince him to join this community too.
Lemon Drop 1.1 (Day 14):
Coming along nicely and ready for another drink today, almost tall enough for some LST.
Gypsy Widow 1+2, Lemon Drop 2 (Day 31):
All three have grown nicely, and need to be re bent. both of the GWs are showing some nice bud action as is LD 2. We're at the start of week 5, so I should be thinking about top dressing, but was hoping to hear back from the manufacturer prior to the top dress.
Here are some before and after shots of these three.
LD2:
GW1:
GW2:
GW1 still looks so sad, but the newer growth is still looking pretty good and the buds are still forming nicely so fingers crossed that it's on the mend now.
Temps and RH are both getting better, our weather is insanely warm for March, so the furnace is not running as often. We're now maxing out at 28.5C and I should be able to leave a window open in the room with my intakes without freezing out all of our pets in the basement.
Also had a blast with the FIL he had brought his stash and I recently bought some new toys too. On our post truck breaking pre fixing party were, Tropical Ice & White Rhino flowers both amazing quality flowers from our mutual dispensary, White Widow shatter from Stoneman Concentrates, and live rosin that was tropical something or other and tasted amazing. Showed him a few rosin pressing videos on YT and ended up stealing the wife's old hair straightener. The plates maxed out at 214f, a bit hot but totally workable. FIL totally thought I was full of shit, but being an awesome sport, and a seasoned stoner loving concentrates threw me a bud of his white rhino.
He held the parchment paper wrapped buds while I lined up the crimper/clamp contraption and went to town... Obviously no oozing happened with the ghetto setup but oh my god the smell of the hot flower being pressed was overwhelmingly amazing. Took it all out and let it cool for a minute and removed my "chips" and gathered the rosin, it was maybe a gram of pretty dried out bud but we still ended up with a 3-4 mm ball of resin. While I totally wanted to taste it through my Yocan torch & water piece, the FIL's Yocan Evolve XL was far easier to share the dab without having to split it up. My fresh pressed rosin blew the shatter and oil from "our guy" out of the park. I mean I knew that it would work with what I had, but I was completely shocked at how amazing it tasted.
I'll be very excited to see what the final version of the edible/concentrate/beverages laws end up being in Canada as the biggest drawback to cannabis consumption is still combustion. I love vaping dry herb for the purity and flavor, but after experiencing the flavors of pressed cured rosin and live processed oil, would much rather dab it up!
Happy growing everyone!
