Stoney's Luv Shack

Well if it’s a fraud (ford) it won’t 😂.is she a rambler ….my bro got me some driving lights for my birthday ..I can see the game way ahead now..
those led bars work excellent.

Max that light worked so awesome... i'm gonna take those little pods off, the bar just drowns them out!!

but man i wish that was a ford... its a fuckin dodge man!!! if ya can't dodge it, RAM it!!! 2003 ram 1500 with the factory plowing upgrades. the price was right.. my neighbor was gonna send it to the junk yard. it was his brothers truck, they each got one for their company and his brothers was babied. it's really nice inside!! i gave him back all the plow stuff in it that he was gonna throw away anyway so now he has backup for his own gear and none of it matched my stuff anyway. i also had to replace the water pump, a couple brake lines, and blow the leak fix out of the heater core. that leak fix shit is the worst thing you can ever put in a vehicle!! it blocks the leak hole along with all the important ports with it!! blew it out backwards with pressure and now it has awesome heat!!!

but for free i now have a dodge!! technically it's still in his name so i'm not a dodge owner!!!! ;thup
 
twelve weeks since seed and i got the lights at full power and gave them all some beastie bloomz, greengro finisher, and some sulfur powder yesterday... right now they're drinkin like sailors and stinking like pig farmers!!! ;poop;poop;poop

Did you have any issues with these beans? I've got a pack I'm thinking of popping soon.

no nothing negative that i can think of, i only germinated three of them, they were the tallest of that crop i remember that! smells great, taste great, and knocks my socks off!!

Been a spell since we've seen the gooey goodness oozing out at the Luv Shack!

Careful man...It's gonna kick your ass if you've been dabbing the dispo stuff for a while ;smoke

I had a hermie come out of a pack of LA and it turned so purple it went black.
Kinda feeling like it shoulda been named Forest Gump's Box of Chocolate because you never know what you'll get.
The wild thing is I'd bet Stoney's LA's are actually Platinum Lemon Cherry Gelato because they look exactly like what mine did. Or it's reversed and those are LA and my PLCG were LA but my LA was a Dante.
Confused yet?😋
IDK if seeds were mixed up, mislabled, or there was some open pollination. Could be all of the above, who knows.
I'd just say that with all GPS stuff, keep an eye out for balls the first 3 weeks of flower

for reals bro!!! i didn't even get through the first dab and thought to myself why do i ever stop squishing?!?! the flavor, the buzz... way better than any store stuff!!!!

that was with a NS 90µ. i had been using 120's and 160's but i think i like the 90µ better. i ordered some gutenburg's after reading good things, they're made here in philly. i'l let ya know what i think.
 
I was going to ask what micron bag and weight.
I like stuffing 3/4 ounce in a 1/2 bag.
I got some bone dry Zamal Dreams for tumbling and or squishing.
I choose micron by moisture.
It's been too long for me since and is the perfect time.
Like Bandit I love flower man. So easy to burn joints on long drives [ like every morning and afternoon~!];roll

i was going to post last night "stuffed up Steam style!!"
i reached in the bag for more bud versus cutting the top off, i know thats against your religion!!!! as it should be!

i did a real small test squish with some bud i had from that festival back in july, the press was last at 200° after pressing that i turned it down 10 degrees and left it at 190° with about 8-9 tons of pressure. it was at the verge of full blow blow out. but those NS bags aren't the toughest either.

i have some 37 micron bags that i like for dry/tumble.. but i was looking and these guys have some 5' and 15's for the keif.


i wish i still enjoyed flower, i fuckin ruined myself man.
 
That's a good deal if they are good bags.
Many say they make the difference.
Don't get me wrong with the flower.
I would love ruin myself, that is why I bought all the toys.
It is just slacker~!
Tired and old but not done playing yet.
I need to press and get a new dab toy.
I looked at the dinosaur from lookah after bandit posted it.
Seemed cool and I have many lookahs.
I saw what G$ just got and thought his tools are like my toys.
You got to see the value or pleasure to take the step.
I have been mixing press/diamonds/shatter back with flower in the bong and not so sure I am missing out on anything but another toy that doesn't get used as much as I thought.
Man I love my bong and joints.

i've used a lot from the press club...


the main thing i like about the electronic dabs like G$ and i have is it's a cold start dab and that just tears me up more than the smoking or a blowie dab.
 

i tell ya man these kids these days and the smoking toys they get to grow up with!!! if i could go back and tell my teen self this is what youll be smoking in your prime i would never have believed it!!!!

all that dirt weed, separating seeds... i've paid my dues and earned my right to dab for life!!!! hehe

I've gotten my fair share of seeded ditch weed, brown weed you can't even give away, weed that shouldn't even be called weed.
Shit was rough when I was starting to smoke, but you could also get really good shit too if you wanted to pay 20 a g all the way up for it.

I enjoy growing/smoking my own flower, the dabs are just extra credit 😂

all those dry times with nothing around, white knuckling a drive in the snow to score a bag of shit for $40 an 1/8th.. i don't miss those days one bit!!

i started growing purely for the finished but but found out that i really like the hobby. always had veggie gardens growing up and stuff but it's just not the same.

To tell you the truth, I do that with every plant nowadays. You can find gems, but it takes quite a few plants to find a winner in my experience. I kept a dubstep in rotation for over 2 years, one of those rare had it all phenol and I got lucky as hell. Head knocker potentcy , bag appeal, and bounce of the table dense. I regret letting it go like I always seem to end up feeling after moving on..... oh well, to much fire to stay stuck. Variety is where it's at!
 
i had one of those times today where i wish i would have steel spikes sticking out of my front bumper....

20241224_160015.jpg

all the way out here in my podunk town... fkn asshat got down to the stop sign and stopped three times an then just sat there... i peeled out around it showed them they were #1 and then drifted the ass end around the corner and up the hill! hehe

they're like cockroaches.. everywhere!!!!!!

Merry Christmas Everybody!!!!!!

You woulda loved it the day I brought home the new deep freezer last Summer.
So I get to a red light and I've got my freezer in the bed. Truck in front of me is towing a trailer. To the far right, another truck with an ATV in the back. Behind us all, another truck loaded with moving boxes. Sandwiched between us all, a cybertruck, empty, and all of us laughing at him because there's no way that thing could be doing any of the truck stuff all the real trucks were doing at that stoplight.
People act like it's a big deal because it can fit a haul of groceries. Yeah and so can a Prius. And they both only fit 4 people
 
i might have said this before but, soon!!!!!


end of week thirteen... some are ready, some are not... I AM!!!! ;smoke

You're going to like the Candy Store, I think.
Have you ever decreased your lights when nearing the end?
It helps plants finish IMO.
I don't think I will ever grow 13 weeks.
 
All look very nice stoney. and dense as..getting close to calling edward scissorhands. View attachment 84913

hell yea Max, i'm chompin at the bit to get these done!!! probably gonna take some our and leave some in for the finish. my scissors are oiled and ready to go!!!!

i've had my eye on the candy store for weeks now, she has a great smell and rock hard nugs too!!!

the most i ever really did was taking a lot of red out and leaving the blue and white and the red is the most watts of the light. but mostly drive em hard right up to the end.. how much percentage do you decrease? and with how much time left? you know me, i'll try anything once!!!

not all of my 13 weeks is flowering though. lights went to 12/12 on week 4 (october 25th) and didn't really shoot pistils till early november, like 11/3 was the day i figured flower started. so really just finishing week eight of flower. some are just about ready and some need another couple weeks maybe.

i should have changed the calendar then in november to have a more accurate count, i was lazy.. haha
 
I may turn lights down as early as 7 weeks depending on the plant.
I drop weekly if I remember once I start.
I will go down to 70% before the plant finishes many times dropping 10% or so at a time.
When people experience different results than expected naturally, they have to wonder if they are going against nature.
The plant will not flower without proper light schedule and IMO will not finish proper if light does not diminish like in nature.

wow thats more than i would have thought, i know me pulling the red out isn't reducing it anywhere near to 70%... maybe 90% is about all i've done.

the sour D and Hippos are still drinking and still fattening up, i'd hate to deprive them of plumping yet. i think i'll let them ride the way they are for this year, and then i'll think about it next year!! hehe so maybe tomorrow i might reduce some..

i'd really like to get them to finish so i can work on bug eradication and start the next batch!! it will end up being a side x side grow i guess because i'll probably be starting everything at once. i think i'm going to harvest right there in the cabinet so i don't risk tracking mites all over the house. i plan to trim everything right there on site and submerge and wash all the buds right next to it. i'll hang them to drip and dry off for a few hours and then into the dry box for a couple weeks. then i will gather all the leaves and stems and scraps in one motion and out the main doors outside and straight into the wood stove. then i'll bomb once and then clean everything the hard way and then bomb again maybe another ten days later and see how i feel from there.

i plan to use rejuvenated soil for the next round, i've started this soil build already and have introduced some neem cake and archaea. next will be micro and NPK and then a couple days later some bennies. i'll the let it get warm for a week and be ready for action!! i plan to follow suit for the hydro bennies as well.

now i just need to pick all the genetics for the next round... for sure in are serious black, ghost train haze, epic buzz,... and three more???
for the hydro i'm pretty sure i'm gonna go for Irie again, this time a cross with the golden goat!!!
 
Yea you are only at 9 weeks in flower, so not really 13 in flower.
IMO a slight reduction in power will help finishing.
IMO it reduces new pistils many get right up to the end.
I still see some on some plants but not like before I reduced lights at the end.
I don't know for science this produces best buds, but I see so many have new pistils and plants not looking done when all says they should be done.

Ya I notice it more in feminized seeds imo.just when you think they are about done bam new pistols all over. I started turning down the lights too.

just to be clear, are you guys just reducing in light intensity correct? ...and not hours lit.

i have about four plants that look like they need another two weeks and the other twelve are pretty much ready this week. i don't mind if i have to break up the harvest but i'd really rather not wait two weeks just for the four plants.
 
I missed where these flying squirrels were introduced to the story?
I saw the one in the trap.
The backstory?
I had a squirrel in my knee wall crawl space once. Was like a dog was up there sometimes.
Had another squirrel that would camp out under my second floor deck and chew and dig the rubber roof under it.
It was having a mining crew when he would get going.
Attic guy got havahart and released. I found where he got in and sealed it.
Rubber muncher got pellet gun death.
 
Sourdough I will remember that.mabey you can train them to kill bugs🤪.

wouldn't that be awesome!!!!!!! i'd be breeding the bastards!!! hahaha

well you remember back when i first heard something.. never caught anything, but still heard something maybe once a week. it was odd. i had stopped putting traps u p there because i had to move my wall clock to access and i wanted to hear the clock again so i took the traps out, i wasn't catching anything anyway. and left the bated mouse trap just on top of my oak beam in the living room, not in the ceiling, just in the room. i put my clock back and all was fine, then it snowed xmas eve or the day before and everything was covered outside.. xmas eve it must have gotten desperate enough to go for the mouse trap... i went out there late at night to fill stockings and saw some speaker wires disturbed and noticed the mouse trap on the floor upside down with something big in it.. i was like please dont be a rat, please don't be a rat.. then i saw the small tail and sighed in relief, i turned over the trap and i just thought it was a chipmunk. i was how the hell did a chippy get in here??? so i was like well i know i'm using the wrong trap to catch something this big and my rule is whenever you catch a rodent there is always one or two more.. so i set the cage trap and set it right on the beam and caught two more since then and then found out that it was really the bug eyed flying squirrel.. all the clues make sense now,, big but not heavy, only at night, and i swear a few times when i was banging on the ceiling to scare them i would hear something out on the porch roof just seconds later. everything that didn't make sense all started to click... except for one million dollar question, how the hell are they getting in my living room???? i think it might be in the corner near the trap because i've had some trouble there a long time ago and just seems like a good as any place to start. if i happen to catch one more i'll set some cameras up to see if i can tell what direction there coming in.

my living room isnt drywall like the rest of my house, it's the kind of room you would like... i'm going to have to get a ladder and move it 87 times to inspect every single part of the beams up there!!! grrr.. i hate ladders!!!!
