CannaGranny’s Corner a Thread For General BS and Good Will On BudBuilders

I know it’s a PITA, but years ago people used to soak seeds in colchicine (my spelling might be wrong) to feminize seeds.

I don’t know if that is old bro sci from high times or really worth testing.

Just a thought. I have so few I’m excited when they happen.
 
Jeff has solid beans you will be happy with all of them - I’ve ran a few different packs from DFG and only thing (and isn’t an issue for me is that I got more males than fems , but I also always veg till they are sexually mature so I can cull before flip -

He sure has some beautiful stuff!
I do a perpetual grow. As soon as I go to flower, the next round is popped and as soon as my flower has come off and been dried the next round goes in. Leaves me harvesting every eight to eleven weeks.
I would love to pop all three!

Yeah I’m not so plant count dependent- I run perpetual as well (when I’m running ) I have multiple tents set up so I can veg for months if I need to - I harvest every 2/3 weeks - but all tore down for a move north ! Be a couple months before I see product again . Going back to mich for a bit - looking at a 50 plant license hopefully @stonemason i think we gonna be neighbors . Lol

Size is a major prob for me on holding veg plants. Soon as I finish watering flower beds outside, I’ll take a pic and show you why.

I’ve learned how to hold ‘em back - sometimes I’ll have a plant in a solo for months - unconventional but sometimes I hold ‘em back or stunt them on purpose . Plus I pack em in ! Very unconventional but I only grow for family right now so smaller harvest and more variety those solo cups are ugly but been in there 4months cuz I didn’t want to lose the genetics

So this morning my biggest problem is how to mix fem seed plants with reg plants and stay within my legal growers license. This is the number one reason I tend to buy fem seeds. If the reg seed has not shown its sex prior to the flower period and I go in with the fem plants, then I’m taxed with holding the reg seed over. I just got myself in trouble holding over some genetics that are now six feet tall and almost as wide.
The only way I see to pull this off is to pop three fem seeds, so I know they will be ready for flower in 8-9 weeks and three reg seeds, hoping for a fem.
Nowwwwww, I have to decide which regs to pop and that is a hard decision! @dragonsflamegenetics Haole Moonshine or Orange or the Red Dragon Stash?
Maybe we should do a poll and you all decide!

Haole is reaally making the rounds right now!

We are getting rid of the place in Bronson and moving full time back to Indiana soon.but will still be close. We will get another place back up in michagin as soon as we can though. Weed laws in indiana suck. Let me know if you need help growing and trimming. Or if you wana try some of my home made nuitrient solutions and microbes .they pretty much shut down the farm i was working at.market is flooded.they did 72 plants alot of work,but fun.you never can get that smell off of you.like working at a hog farm.

Will do I’ll actually be in Lagrange Indiana for bit then not positive where we will end up in mich ! But will do ! I have a relative that is part owner of “the dude abides “ dispensaries, Sturgis ,cold water,Constantine for now I’m hopeing to supply them with clones eventually , starting small of course - cuz yep market flooded up there right now hopefully over the next couple years it stabilizes
 
Fresh squeezed lemonade. A nice mix of Blue Dream/Concrete Shoes in a pretty hemp paper. A southwestern breeze and the mesmerizing tinkle of a wind chime that only tinkles when a storm is on the way. Bare feet against a cool concrete porch floor. Ears full of happy bird songs. A comfy chair. A pending afternoon nap. Not one single noise from another human.
These things are the good things…

Do you find yourself timing strains, like growing ones that finish in 8 together and those that finish in 10-11 together? Or do you just do it all and just gradually harvest as it's done? Curious I'm planning my next grow so looking at better timing methods!

I my self don't think any really finish in 8 weeks, I see more like 10 -11 on everything. I've cut at 8 weeks cause that's what the advertising says but the last 3 weeks they swell up triple from 8 weeks. even 11 is early on some but I don't have the patients to wait any longer

I often have things with different flowering periods going. When I set the table up on them I put the longer blooming in the back. It gives me time to do a harvest/dry with out having it all coming at me at one time. I do try to grow stuff that’s only a couple of weeks apart though, so the late bloomers don’t hold up the cleaning and resetting of my tents.
 
Thought you guys might get a kick out of this article I just read about a pizza shop making concentrates on the DL.

I mean... I guess technically it's a drug lab... but when I hear drug lab, I think meth lol.

same here, just a little click-bait infusion in their article title.
did you see the size of the vats they had in there for makin concentrate? i wonder if they were also making pizza, or the shop just looked like a pizza shop.

about to go hiking to Little Stoney Man i think it's called.
got me two hash joints to go, thanks to making some hash the Frenchie way just the other day, i think it's called.

Hope everyone has a great day!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I remember reading something about a mob family that had a pizza shop as a front and the pizza became so popular they just... stopped doing crime. 🤣🍕💰
 
Chirp Chirp!! Another glorious day in the mitten. Getting ready to do some remote camping. Going to have leave the babies for a few days Spent the day swimming and fishing yesterday intermingled with tying, bending and tucking. It never ends. I always get nervous in August when we take 2 week camping trip to the boonies of the UP. and leave the planst on their own. By then they are in sync with nature and i dont hand water them except extreme drought.

My wife bowed out of any and all excursions that required sleeping on the ground, about 20 years ago. I quickly discovered most of my friends were in total agreement with her.

But, but... what about the fabulous Therm-a-Rest mattress pads that...

Fuck that shit. The local motel is new.

But you can't become one with nature after a breakfast of scrambled egg-like substance and sausage patties that are sitting under heat lamps.

I saw a Starbucks down the road. Egg bites here I come.

Did you say egg bites?
 
Dude, I got a personal friend who is weird in that he don't like regular eggs but he likes "McDonald's eggs". Anyway we were going to throw down a big BBQ and fried chicken wings for superbowl and was at the store. We had to get eggs for the breading so my friend says "oh yea I gotta get eggs"...he had his kid with him who is like 4....and the kid was like "eggs from McDonald's daddy?". The kid didn't know there was another type of egg.

While some struggle to get close to nature some are so far removed is there hope?

Just shit kids pick up on I suppose I shouldn't really look at my friend too bad for it (and I dont) but it was a peculiar moment that sticks out in my mind

Part of why we a such an unhealthy lot too! Excellent marketing strategies, aimed at children. Foods that contain additives that makes us crave them.
A certain place recently mentioned, a Sunday morning thought. The French fries and onions are sold to said place by a certain person of an unsavory sort. (He is known for experimenting on people and is a proponent of genoside just like his Father).
Said potatoes are sprayed with something so powerful upon harvest they must lay out in the open and create a week long “No man zone”. They are then washed in vats sliced and sold to people in a loud colored box, in a cooking oil known to cause cancer, with enough salt to cause congestive heart failure.
We need to stick as close to nature as we possibly can and learn to forgo conveniences. Each of us are the seeds of our ancestors.
Anyways, that’s my two cents.

We've had a camper for 6 years, but we're currently between trucks and sold the camper, hoping to upgrade when we can. I will not be sleeping on the ground. I got a foldable memory foam bed that I will put on top of an airbed to keep it dry which I will then cover with another memory foam topper and legit bedding. Nobody wants me to be sleep deprived... it may be a tent, but it's gonna be a comfy tent. We even got a hitch for my little suv so I can lug all my shit along as usual lol. I usually sleep fantastically in a tent... as long as I make my comfy bed... just not looking forward to the dampness, I'm gonna miss clicking on the furnace to get the chill out on cold mornings or warm up before bed, and I'm going to miss my little personal shower, even though my tall ass had to duck under the shower head... at least I know it's clean and nobody's gonna see me naked. 🤣 Got a tent from a friend so I don't need to buy an expensive one for one season... probably spray it to hell with scotch guard. Of course I'll make a tarp city if it's gonna rain, and put a tarp under the tent. It will be good for my son to have the tent experience, he hasn't tent camped since he was 2 months old! We did it a few times and decided a camper was the way to go with a baby.
 
So, who else has thier little ritual for cruising the forum? I usually roll one and go hide out in my stone zone... which is a little addition on the back of the garage where my gardening stuff also lives. Currently smoking an amnesia Lemon doob, boy is at rhe neighbors. Then I'm going to go arrange my drip hoses and adjust the ladies. Long week ahead, gotta stop feeling guilty for taking 5 to chill and zone out. So many things to do and not nearly enough free time. I forgot how much time you don't have when you work away from home lol.
 
I usually wake up after some obnoxiously short sleep, grab my morning coffe....eehhh Dr pepper, and go pack a bowl sit on the porch. Usually pull up a weed related pod cast and then hit the forum.

Any idea on how we will go about growing the forum? Word of mouth good folk only? Open enrollment (could see this being a 50/50)? I just asked the owner of another board to shut my account because the sponsors and adverts were outta control, glad BB isn't that way currently.

Even on the slower days, still love this place...I don't find a single person disagreeable here, and like I loved yall over at the farm too, just other users over there that aren't here would sometimes send dickish vibes imo.

Classy bunch over here, raise those pinky fingers BB 😁

Ya, I get up read the different news sites headlines and stuff that interests me, breakfast then down to my grow, for a quick check then sit at my comp and have 2 smokes while reading the posts here before I attend what needs to be done.....Up stairs for coffee and Chess until Lunch then back down for 2 more smokes & online here before my next chore gets done, breaks every hour for 2 smokes until 5pm up for coffee, chess diner, down to my shop for 2 smokes online, chores, kiss the girls & say good night before lights out on a normal routine.

We are currently working as you know to optimize for the search engines. That in my opinion will be the number one thing that will help this place grow. It’s how I found the other place to start with.
I’ll admit, I have not worked so hard to grow this place as I have enjoyed the break I have had, coming in sharing stories and laughter with folks vs coming in to a hundred notifications. I think several of us feel that way.
That’s not to say the objective is not to grow the place.
My corner post here on BB has finally surpassed the one over there so that our google ranking is now number one over the old forum. So, we are making progress in the search rankings. I’d say my ranking is not the only one, just the one I keep up with.
So I definitely see this place growing.
Word of mouth is good! It’s something I too need to spend a couple of days doing, I have just been quite about it as like I said, I have enjoyed the break.
All good questions and just so you know, I enjoy you too!

We gave up with the tent. 2 dogs and us just too much if it gets stormy. We now have a mini simple camper with a galley on the back and just sleeping quarters inside. got solar panels and we have this shower hookup for outdoor shower if we need it but usually we park on water strictly in remote spots Its been great.
 
I really only know a couple buds local to the stl area I would consider inviting but that's a 50/50 on if they'd even be interested ya know.

What about like a flyer or business cards you could pass out at cannabis events? I plan on eventually making it to some locally and that idea crossed my mind as a way to get word out a bit....just thoughts for the founders to
ponder.
