Now I have to look up Whistle Pig🤣

Groundhogs on my dads farm hadn’t been managed in decades. Got as big as Corgis. 😳

Used to go out and catch them sunbathing on the mounds. If you whistled a lot of the time they would stand up and give you a shot.
 
good evening Granny. hope you're getting in some r&r time with a smoke!!

i got my new brix/gravity meter today, this thing is all kinds of slicky ricky!!! i can't wait to use it for some brandy mashes that i never used that fruit before. it will come in handy for sure!!!

so it turns out my wine is at 1.044 sg..

i tried one of these useless donkey dunk things but i hate these... i'l never have to use it again. i wish i was a wasteful person for once so i could smash it out of satisfaction. but sadly i washed it and put it away already. in fact the only thing i like about the dunker is you can drink the sample tube!!! hehe

don't worry, i'm drinking for science!!!! haha

so what does that sg mean? not like teaching me everything, but what are you looking for in that number? what does it mean to you?

.

after typing this post i confirmed once again i am a cheap date!!! feeling tipsy already!! i'm gonna give the rest to my girl, see if i can get her all liquored up before bed!!! hehe
 
Morning all.

Was up at 2:30am. To many lights…

Haven’t found out the issue yet but I smelled smoke, like from a building fire. Fire trucks are in the distance. Cops are blocking the street up front.

So of course I couldn’t fall back to sleep. Now, at 8:30am, I’m getting tired. 🤦

We have plans to clean up and go through the garage today. Argh. 😴
 
@CannaGranny how do the Durban poison genetics fair outside in Missouri? Didn't you throw one outside last year?

Got some test packs from old sog he seen me on IG growing his smoke and asked if I wanted some testers...I said why hell yea so now I got these. Don't want to put off testing for too long but my inside tent is sorta blown up at the moment. So thinking about a couple of each outside. Good idea bad idea? IMG_20240518_094642710_HDR.jpg

Hey Mister!
About your poison.. the strain I grew was an original landrace strain straight out of Africa. It of course did well in hot dry conditions as that’s its normal habitat. It’s also a very large plant. Most anything you get here was spun off of Rosenthals genetics. First thing he did when bringing it into the US, was crossbred. I’m assuming he did that to deal with the size or maybe he thought he could improve on it. I grew the landrace side by side with his cross. They were decidedly different. The smell, the size, the taste.
So knowing most anything here has been in my opinion defiled, I expect you to see shorter smaller plants. Its drought tolerance would wholly depend on what it’s been crossed with.
It almost pisses me off that they have carried this strain persistently calling it DP, when in actuality, it’s not. If you have ever had pure DP, you would know, nothing that’s sold in the US, even begins to compare with the unsullied original genetics. Not saying it’s not any good etc. just saying it’s not pure, and everything about it is different.

Yea I'm assuming it's the clone everyone has used which I hear is wholly different. May pry on him to see, he is into some crazier sativa genetics so never know but yea chances are it's the clone one. I do know what ya mean...makes it real confusing like why not call it domestic poison or something lol

He said the poisin mints is pretty potent from what he grew

The cicadas are so loud here I can hear them over my lawnmower.

I haven't heard any of the cicadas, we don't seem to have them here in my little town. 🤔 They bury down into the ground don't they? Wonder if the flood killed them. Surely I should have seen or heard one by now right?
 
Moe.Red said:
Oh yeah, unmistakable.

I got dead husks all over too. Want some?

Here too! It’s deafening this morning. I have cleaned those empty shells and live ones off my porch everyday for the past three weeks. I’ve been using a leaf blower! Thank goodness they shut up at night!

We don't have any cicadas up here, Black flies are coming out though and they are a lot of fun, specially when doing yard work. Its okay for the first 5 min or so...then they find you and its on, without drowning yourself in......... Raid......... or......??? bug hats are a must...added protein for joggers and cyclists though..........

That reminds me of the days I used to cycle everywhere, the flies in the cattle farm lands were the worst, those suckers were hard to choke down in one go and would throw your breathing cycle all out of whack gagging them down.
 
Mornin Yiz Menz!
I have been in the grow this morning and I have to tell you, I have some of the most beautiful dank and rank buds I have ever grown. The plant is Crème De La Dank by Captain Redbeards. It’s a medium sized plant, perfect for a tent grow. Bulky, stinky, sticky and looks as if it has been snowed on. An unusual structure. Predominantly large Indica leaves. Pics don’t do it justice. If the stuff is half as good as the buds look, it’s definitely a winner winner chicken dinner!

I'm gonna guess the flood took out the 17 year bugs in your area.

Have no fear, you are getting plenty back in the ground this year and in 17 years you too can be the beneficiary of insect induced tinnitus.

At different times of the year we get crickets signing and I like the rhythmic sound at night.....outside......have one in your bedroom its a whole different matter altogether.

I’d rather hear these insufferable bastids scream as be bit by a black fly or a cattle fly!

We don't play with black flies here in upstate NY.
If they are out, I am in. They are also known as May flies here I believe.
Wore a whole bug suit once in the Adirondacks at JP Morgans Camp Uncas.
We lost they won. I'll never volunteer to compete again.
I'll take the cicadas. My ears ring anyways~! :p

Here the mayflies are an indication of when certain fish are spawning but they are not an actual fly, and they don’t bite. The cattle flies are a different story. They are flying teeth. When they bite they inject a numbing substance and you don’t know your being bit or have been bit until the blood starts running.

I don't think you could make it up here granny, you sound like a woos, getting spring in Feb /March? It has softened you. Try a year or 30 up here and your attitude would change, it would toughen you up and turn you into a cynical ahole like the rest of us....

Spring in March?....it stuff like that that just pisses me off about you southerners with your fine weather flaunting.....Oh we has sunshine and a warm sunny day..... arrrrrgggg.
 
Scuse me? That’s a WUSS to you!
I know I know you’re still pissed about those sunny warm days in February. You need you some 114-116* August days with 70% humidity in Missouri then you would know why I’m already a cynical smart ass just like you! 😂🥹😂
