So I got some seeds soaking.

I always get super-freaked out and also really excited every time I start some seeds, I dunno why. I mean, on the one hand, yes, of course it’s always exciting to start a new grow. On the other hand, I’m like,”Get into the fridge really quick! As fast as you can! Don’t fuck up the seeds and expose them to ambient temperatures! Get them back in the fridge! Get them back in the fridge!” haha.

I also feel like I don’t know what I’m doing every time I start a new grow, even though I think I kind of do. Which is weird, because I’m extremely confident in my ability to do pretty much everything haha, but I do always feel like,”Don’t fuck this up…” whenever I start a new one.

Anyway, I’m soaking the Yesca x Jaro and the Chocolate Blitz as planned, but I couldn’t find the Wolfpack f2’s in a timely fashion, so I just picked Bodhi’s Hashplant D instead. Pretty different, I know, but I think those’ll turn out good. And after all that talk on the Bodhi thread today about the GHash male, I figured I’ve gotta plant some GHash cross. Any GHash cross haha…

@HolyAngel did you ever end up growing any of those Relic Grapefruit f3’s that we talked about a couple years ago? You should remember that extremely brief conversation we had about those in, like, 2021, right? Haha! I honestly have no idea how I remember that we even discussed them, but anyway, I soaked some of those, too. I’m actually pretty excited about them, always liked Sweet Pink Grapefruit.

Anyway, yeah, the deed is done. We’ll see how they turn out.

That has totally been on my short list of which seeds to plant next. I might go a different direction so I can see how yours grow. Maybe Temple V2…

Do it. I woulda grabbed a couple packs of that myself if… blah blah blah haha. For real, though, that Tree of Life I grew a few years back was some of my favorite weed ever, really wish Bodhi woulda worked more with that Temple male. Or the female haha, either one. I actually briefly hemmed-and-hawed over Doc’s Wat Pho (Temple x A5Thai) when I was digging through the fridge earlier today, but I figured I’d just wait until I have the luxury of growing potentially 12+ week stuff in the fall/winter, when temps aren’t such an issue and I can just cool the room by opening the window, as opposed to running the AC constantly.

That Tree of Life, though… And the Mountain Temple, too. Good shit.

Haha, yeah, I didn’t expect you to. I really don’t know how I remembered that. Sometimes the weirdest, most random things just stick in my brain haha…

Totally off-topic here, but if anybody wants to read a well-written article about Frank Ocean’s shitshow Coachella set this past weekend, Jeff Weiss (great music writer) just posted this on TheRinger: Frank Ocean Is Human—and So Was His Disastrous Coachella Set - The Ringer

I suspect that there aren’t too many Frank Ocean fans here haha, but I fucking LOVED (and still love) his first album, Channel Orange. Weiss also touches on other aspects of how stupid Coachella is now (the $25 cocktails, sponsored by American Express etc) and has been for years. And you don’t need to be a fan of Frank Ocean to appreciate the article.

I thought this paragraph about Blackpink (bullshit K-pop group) was particularly amusing: “On Saturday night, Blackpink came as close as anyone will to answering the following question: What if the Spice Girls had been spawned in the mid-2010s by a vertically integrated consulting firm? There is something hypnotically transfixing about them, as if every visual, graphic, dance shimmy, and autocorrected note has been focus-grouped to ensure Maximum Fun. There is not a single original idea, but it is an immaculate synthesis. They can precisely match the sum of all previous human creativity but cannot provide a note more.”

I wish I’d have written that paragraph haha!, although that would’ve required me actually going to Coachella. Or even just sitting down and listening to Blackpink, which, no, thanks.

I dunno if y’all know this, but until about ten years ago, almost every band that played at Coachella would also do their own shows at venues in and around LA in the week or two either before or after it. So, like, you’d look at the lineup and see the ten or twelve bands that were playing Coachella that you were actually a fan of and be like,”Fuck driving out there and paying a thousand bucks to see them this weekend; I’ll pay twenty dollars to see them at The Echo next weekend.”

And then Godenvoice, the producers of Coachella, started putting a clause in their contracts that anybody performing there was not allowed to play any of their own shows in SoCal for two weeks before or after their set. Which is totally fucked up. When I read about that, years ago, I was like,”Why are any of these bands signing up for this shit?”

Robot voice: “Your Corporate Overlords. Will destroy. Everything in its path. Bleep boop! Bop!”

Anyway, yeah, that Jeff Weiss article is a good read haha! And a Happy 4/20 To Everybody! haha… Sorry for ranting.

Seeds are officially in the soil, btw, haha. I’ve noticed that Doc D’s stuff is routinely the first to start sprouting tails, usually within twelve hours (yeah, quick). And although this is only my second meangene grow, his seem to take a little while. I actually planted everything but his stuff last night, after about 24 hours, but I didn’t plant the Freeborn seeds until today, just because it took until this morning for even a few tails to start pushing out.

I’ll check out that article when I have some time to read it, most of the bands that now play at Coachella I haven’t even heard of, plus I hate music festivals and will likely never go to another one in my life. I love going to concerts and live music but fuck going to festivals in general, if there are actually a lot of bands you want to see, you are constantly on the move from one stage to the next, only seeing half of each set if you actually want to see all the bands, anyway, that’s the end of my rant.

Yeah, dude, I know why they do it, I just don’t know WHY they’re doing it haha. I mean, if I was hella famous and in a position to get a shit-ton of people to hear my message, I’d take a stance against global conglomerates destroying everything and anything that has the potential to be good.

But that’s just me haha…

Yeah, I don’t ever think of Channel Orange as being “that album that Andre 3000 did a verse on” haha, but maybe the Frank Ocean-at-Coachella thing and the Andre 3000 connection somehow absorbed into me via internet osmosis or something haha. I’ve been listening to Aqumeni and Stankonia a lot the past few days, anyway, no idea why. I mean, other than they’re great albums.

Channel Orange was in steady rotation wherever I lived for at least eight years after it was released, but we haven’t put that one on in a whiiiiiile. Frank’s whole “thing” lately has kinda been getting on my nerves. It’s one thing to be a “tortured artist”; it’s another thing to be “playing the role of a tortured artist,” which is what it’s felt like he’s been doing for a little too long now.

Plus, I just haven’t really dug anything he’s put out since Channel Orange haha!

I’ve heard of a lot of them, I’ve even listened to them; I just don’t like them haha! They’re not good. Any time anything is blowing up, I always check them out. And I’m always underwhelmed and don’t understand why, like,”OMG! You HAVE to listen to this right now!” It’s not good! “Why are you insisting that I listen to this terrible music right now?!?” haha.

It’s kinda like the whole “weed seed” thing, where it’s like,”I don’t wanna look like I’m missing out on something! So I’m gonna post all over social media about how awesome I think this thing is! Even though, in reality, it sucks!” haha.

I agree about the festivals thing, though. I hate them, too, and always have. Well, I mean, not always, but yeah, you couldn’t pay me to go to one now.

Or I dunno. I guess if you wanted to pay me to attend, I’d go haha…

Thanks, brother. You, too.

I actually don’t really “celebrate” April 20 or St. Patrick’s Day or Cinco de Mayo or whatever, mostly because it’s pretty much 4/20 and St. Patty’s Day and Cinco de Mayo here every day. I definitely don’t need an excuse to get fucked up, anyway haha! But I appreciate the sentiment. Thank you.

Did you get the kids stowed away somewhere so you can properly imbibe? Haha…

I don’t really like that album and didn’t even when it came out. There’s maybe only four tracks on it that I love. Which seems low for a double-album haha. Even though we didn’t know at the time that Andre and Big Boi were kind of on the outs with each other, I got White Album vibes from it.

I saw them open for De La in, like, 1995 in Tampa. And hooooooweeeeeee does typing that last sentence make me feel old haha…

Malibu Pure Kush x Lemon Thai smoke report:

Looks:

IMG_7694
IMG_76942304×3456 351 KB

These are not the greatest pics I’ve ever taken haha, I realize that. Feeling a little shaky today. Honestly, though, this weed is not “impressive”-looking in that sorta “Is it coated in crystals???” sense. But I will say that it does look intriguing… Or it does to me, anyway.

Oh, and before I go any further, this is what she looked like on Chop Day:

Malibu Pure x Lemon Thai #1 flower day 62
Malibu Pure x Lemon Thai #1 flower day 622304×3456 590 KB

Just so we all remember haha.

She was such a weird plant while she was growing. Super-stretchy, so maybe a Malibu leaner. But the flower morphology didn’t really appear to be MPK-ish. And Doc (and everything else I’ve read) said that Lemon Thai is one of those “squat Sativa”-type plants. So possibly a real “50/50” hybrid?

Smell: I’ve been having such a hard time trying to figure this one out, but I’ve finally settled on “moist/lemon” haha. I realize that sounds gross and it actually really is kind of gross (my friend Deanna, tiny lesbian chick, used to rant about how much she hated the phrase “moist panties” haha), but I can’t figure out another way to put it. It smells “wet,” which, I don’t even really know what I mean by that. And there is for sure a lemon element to it. Not “citrus,” but lemon. Not “candied lemon" or “lemon peel” or “lemon cleaner” or even “real lemons.” Just “Lemon” haha. Maybe “generic lemon” is the best way to put it?

I dunno. It doesn’t smell bad, though; it just smells kind of blahhhh haha.

Taste: Spicy hash. Total “exotic spice” on the front-end and hash hash hash on the exhale. It tastes very good, but it isn’t anything super-complex or whatever. I like it, though.

High: this one’s a classic “anytime” weed. It’s strong enough and good enough and satisfying enough. I’ve smoked it before bed, but it’s not my go-to before bed. I’ve smoked it in the morning, but it’s not necessarily my go-to in the morning, either. Smoked it in the afternoon and sometimes I’ve taken a nap afterwards, sometimes I haven’t.

I’d say it’s more of a daytime smoke. But it also works in the evening? Haha. Kinda weird that way, I guess, but if I only had one strain to blaze, this one would be a good one to have around. It’s not “pushy” in any one direction, either up or down. And I know that makes it sound boring, but it really isn’t. There’s not necessarily one thing I can point to and say,“Oh my gawwwwwwd, this weed is sooooooo fucking good!!!” but it is good weed.

And just a couple more notes: my ex was in town a few weeks ago and she did not like this one at all. But we were drinking a lot and also smoking a lot, so I dunno how she’d be able to differentiate between everything. She smokes a TON of weed, though, and spoke highly of some of the other things we blazed, so I trust her opinion. I don’t think she’d say that she didn’t like this one just to be a bitch or anything haha, but she was VERY adamant in expressing her opinion of this one.

Also, my friend Erica (self-proclaimed “Indica Fan” haha) swung by last week and I gave her samples of everything and she’s said that so far this is her favorite, so… What can you do? “Everybody’s cannabinoid receptors are different!” haha.

I do think that that speaks to the sorta “versatility” of this hybrid, though. I actually thought that Erica wouldn’t like this one, pretty surprised when she told me it was her favorite so far.

I dunno. Fuck it… haha.

Heh yeah, ex not liking it but Erica does kinda throws me off too considering your writing of their past experiences on your previous runs :sweat_smile: Everybody is different tho just like you said…

The looks of the dried flower itself, and portions of the description, reminds me of nl5haze type flower… sometimes looks like Reggie compared to modern stuff but man is it anything but :heart_eyes: I still have a pack of these in the fridge so this is really helpful.

Well, it definitely doesn’t smoke like any NL5Haze I’ve ever blazed haha. I know what you mean, though. I never got any NL5Haze that looked like some shit you wanna be posting pics of everywhere.

But I know what I’m looking for… Being an Informed Consumer usually works to your advantage haha.

I think I got a weird outlier-type plant, but I dunno. I wish I woulda ended up with more than one female of everything I grew this round, just so we could compare and contrast. I think it’s kinda funny that the only thing I ended up with two females of was the Pura Vida f2. Because, you know, f2’s… No way to really know what’s going on with those…

Those were still super-fun to grow, though, I wanna write those smoke reports ASAP, but I canNOT get a handle on the flavor at all. They taste soooooo good, but I don’t know exactly what I’m tasting haha!

Anyway, yeah, the MPK x LT seems promising. I wanna get another look at more of those plants.

Next year… Or the year after that… haha. What year is it right now? Haha!

Do any of y’all ever get these just totally bizarre, weird-ass DM’s that you read and go,”Pssshhhh… Okay, I know i should just ignore this, I shouldn’t respond to this at all, but I’ll do my best to be friendly and answer what I think they might be asking me (kinda hard to tell) and hopefully this won’t go the way I know it’s gonna go…”? Haha. And then it invariably goes the way you knew it was gonna go?

Fuck me. When I lived in Portland, I did a SHITton of meth and smoked crack and stayed up for three days at a time on ecstasy and acid and cocaine and I still never got as weird as some of the random DM’s I’ve gotten….
