InTheShed Grows Inside & Out: Jump In Any Time

[N420]

I know right! I wish I could get the great smoke reports like @ProfessorFlora writes. But that's a skill in and of itself!

You got that right! Definitely not a skill I possess

Since I don't smoke weed, I only have my wife's smoke reports, and they unfortunately all go like this: "It got me high!"

Best I can tell you is that the sativas are more of a head/behind-the-eyes high as opposed to the fall-asleep-on-the-couch indicas. That said, my wife will also fall asleep on the couch after smoking sativas, so probably none of this is helpful.

Omg Shed! I’m laughing so hard right now and I’m not even high right now. For me, the sativas like you said are mostly a head high and just relaxing enough if your anxious or depressed but it allows you to get stuff done around the house but the Indica for me is for bedtime. It’s a high from The top of my head all the way down to my toes and everything in the middle.

Must have been some rough manhandling! Their packaging is fantastic, and I wouldn't have thought they could get damaged.

I think it was a lack of padding inside the packaging. Something heavy must have been sitting right on it during the flight over!

I agree I think their packaging is fantastic. But the same thing occurred to me, and providing the excellent customer service they do, they promptly sent me replacements (I have no hesitation in recommending them, thanks WSE!).

My damage was to a seed packet that I must note did contain exceptionally large sized seeds and I think it had occurred when multiple seed packets are packed on top of one another and the package closed, the nature of these packets means that they do not always allow the seeds to settle and find space but can end up with them getting compressed against one another when the package is closed/sealed. My feeling is that once in transit they are unlikely to be damaged due to the buffering/protection that their packaging provides from outside knocks/pressure.

The quality I notice from the only sativa dominant strain that I currently have to use, is that it allows a great feeling of enhancement with a clear head that allows me to do things, socialise etc. So I get a little confused trying to align the clear head I feel, with the 'head high' that is often noted for sativas. But hey, the important thing is to have the buds in front of you to enjoy, the wording of their nature is academic and secondary!

This is a good explanation, plus the initial behind-the-eyes feeling when you first hit it. It's an energetic and happy high, as opposed to the sitting on the couch with deep thoughts high!

Might just be a different way of defining the sensation, no? The head high might be the clear feeling you feel from that variety.

These packs were double stacked (and two of them were doubled over because of their length, so you're on to something there. Plus I could see indentations in the storage area from where something was pressing against the bottom (without giving any stealth techniques away).

The Vault and Dope seeds were wrapped in other things which offered much more actual padding.

Speaking of the amazing endocannabinoid system, I just came across this article in the NY Times:

Getting to the Bottom of the Runner’s High (Published 2021)

For years we’ve been crediting endorphins, but it’s really about the endocannabinoids.

www.nytimes.com

Turns out that "runner's high" isn't about endorphins. As they put it in the subhead: "For years we’ve been crediting endorphins, but it’s really about the endocannabinoids."

And in the article:
"Most [volunteers] said yes, they had felt buzzed during the run, but not the walk.... All showed increases, too, in their blood levels of endocannabinoids after running and equivalent changes in their emotional states. Their euphoria after running was greater and their anxiety less, even if their endorphin system had been inactivated."

I must have been more greedy than you, because there were 3 in one which under compression can't have left much 'wriggle room' unfortunately!

Wow, that is interesting. I like it!

Look at you getting all fancy and linking your sativa grows to the WSE website!

20lbs is a hella lot of weed, and even 10lbs

That's wet weight they want. The dude mentioned folks vac seal and freeze grows until there's enough. It's something to contemplate.

And while I'm stringing together a bunch of posts, how about some seeds? These are the seeds I've received so far from my MOTY and GJOTY wins, so y'all who voted for me are responsible, and for that I say .

Let me lead with the @Weed Seeds Express seeds: Amnesia Lemon Kush, Godfather OG, Jack Herer, and Chiquita Banana.

Weed Seeds Express:
Amnesia Lemon Kush, Godfather OG,
Jack Herer, Chiquita Banana

The CB and JH seeds got damaged in shipping (and those are the two I'm dropping next!), and David re-sent them the same day I let them know. Excellent customer service!

Next up is Dope Seeds, who sent along Gelato and Girl Scout Cookies:

And last is The Vault, who sent Durban Poison:

The Vault: Durban Poison

I don't need that much Durban Poison (PM if you're interested ) but they shipped them so quickly that I didn't notify them in time!

I haven't heard anything from Cannapot yet so I've got nothing to show you on those, but they're supposed to be Granola Funk.

Happy Thursday!

Congrats on the seed haul Shed! I'm on the edge of my seat!
There's 2 phenos of The Godfather I found. One is denser than the other, just for your moist conditions you may want to choose the lighter one. They're both quite dense and deliciously deadly.

50ºF air temps, but radiant heat FTW . Left to right (and top to bottom), they're Tin Can Kush 1-2-3, Red Dragon, Candida:

Spring grow day 28/26

I supported the Candida because it was a bit top heavy and this has been a windy week in Los Angeles.

I hope the week went well and the weekend is looking even weller! It seems a lot of folks are figuring out ways to jump the vaccine line, but my parents raised me better than that.

Stay safe.

Who do we appreciate

You BigD!

Wait...you mean I wasn't fancy before? Here's to 12345!

That's wet weight they want. The dude mentioned folks vac seal and freeze grows until there's enough. It's something to contemplate.

If we figure that wet weight is 80% more than dry, then that messes with their return numbers, no? If you give them 10lbs wet and get 20% back, that's 2lbs. Had you given them that 10lbs after drying it would have been 2lbs. So do you get 100% return since the starting THC content is identical? Or do they mean they are returning 15-20% of what the dry weight would have been?

There's 2 phenos of The Godfather I found. One is denser than the other, just for your moist conditions you may want to choose the lighter one.

Thanks otter! In terms of the Godfather OG, how will I choose the lighter pheno from the lookong at the seeds? Or do I need to grow a bunch and cull the darker ones?

I know, right? I wonder if Sue saw that article.

O happy happy happy them seeds look good ! Only thing in seeds in the ground are Veggies , but thats ok for now i guess

Thanks sb! I wish I had room for veggies, but I do have some ground cover variety of oregano growing in a window box.

into the weekend!

I've only got 1 Godfather growing, and I have no idea on what pheno it might be displaying.

That'll teach you to grow only one! With all your rain down there it must be the lighter one, since your seems terrific .

Loving those spring time ladies, they are chugging along quite nicely!
