It’s a nissan leaf! There is a town nearby they are anti-EV trogs, trying to get the village to remove the fast charger in order to shit on EV drivers. “Nobody drives those things” 
They are the same group that is… dare I say… anti-sunscreen, anti-vaxx, anti-EV, anti-trans …and so on.

Eh… If I’m gonna wear a t-shirt, it’s gonna be, like, something I love, like my Doc D t-shirt or a band t-shirt or a Jack Daniels t-shirt haha or something like that. I think we all know that Bezos sucks dick, I don’t see any reason why I should wear that on my body.
It’s kinda like in The Office, when Michael Scott decides that Oscar should wear a t-shirt of Angela’s poster of the babies dressed up as jazz musicians, so that Oscar doesn’t see it. I don’t wanna wear anything that I hate haha.
Oh, it is? Okay. That car is burning rubber? For real?
None of this is surprising. Depressing, yes. Surprising, no.

I feel this. The reason it’s my roommate’s shirt is that she lives to piss people off 
I see myself as a community facilitator, and she sees herself as a community activist… so while we share many of the same philosophies, the ways we present to the world are very different
I see value in both, but I’m certainly not comfortable in both communities all the time

Right. I do, too, but mostly by what I say, not by what I wear haha. And anyway, who in their right mind would get pissed off by a t-shirt mocking motherfucking Jeff Bezos or Elon Musk? I mean, I know they’re out there haha, but for real, if you get mad about a “Elon Musk is the devil” t-shirt, then you are part of the problem.

Anyway, just to get it back to some weed stuff, here’re a few random pics of the latest grow, took these a couple days ago. I misspoke a while back and said that I started these on April 15, but it was actually April 20. These pics are from veg day 47, which was three days ago? I think?
Chocolate Blitz:
Different Chocolate Blitz:
Another Chocolate Blitz:
Since I’ve never grown any kinda Thai stuff, I can’t say for certain, but I feel like that last one looks a little “Thai” haha. I like its super-defined leaf serrations, anyway, I dunno if that’s a Thai trait or not. I really hope that one turns out female.
One of the three Grapefruit f3’s:
Another one of the Grapefruits:
Those Grapefruit plants… Man… I dunno. They’re kinda “messy” haha. They’re for sure growing a little differently than I thought they would.
Here’s a Hashplant D:
And another:
Those two look pretty different from one another.
Here’s another one:
Yesca x Jaro f3:
Another Yesca/Jaro:
And another:
They’re for sure pretty “OG-ish”-looking, with the flimsy stems and the crinkly leaves. Also noticed quite a few trifoliates on one or two of them, which is pretty cool.
Anyway, yeah, hopefully they’ll all start showing sex soon and I can get them into the flowering pots and start the new thread. I’m fucking READY, man, really wanted to be flipping these on June 15, but that’s obviously not gonna happen now haha.

What node do you typically top your plants at? That middle pic of Hashplant D looks so dense, you can’t even tell if it’s been topped or not. Should be a fun grow once you can finally flower them out though.
6 Likes
I dunno haha. One, it’s hard to tell what node I’m topping at, just because they always grow super-compact and I don’t feel like getting in there and counting haha. A lot of the time, they’ll be on like the seventh node even though they’re only five-inches tall.
And two, when you’re growing four or five different strains, they all grow so differently from one another, it’s mostly just like,”Okay, I guess I’ll top these four plants now. And I’ll top those four in two days. And those two three days after that…” etc etc. I’m just trying to keep them all at a relatively even height, doesn’t really matter what node I have to top them at.
I know, that one’s crazy-looking. Definitely a lot of variation in those Hashplant D’s. One of them is really standing out, I was watering the other day and noticed it and was like,”I love this plant…” haha, but I don’t know which one that was right now. Mighta been one I didn’t post pictures of.
I should start looking at the labels haha.

Chocolate blitz looked really interesting when I was looking at it back when GLG had it in stock. That first Hashplant D picture looks cool too.

Yeah, that one is for sure a “one of these things is not like the others”-type plant, pretty interesting-looking. I hope it turns out female.
I hope they all turn out female haha! Not really, I don’t have enough room for all that, but yeah, it’d be cool if I got at least two Hashplant D females. I know I say this every time, but I do think I’m gonna get a decent amount of females this round, just because I’m not seeing any male pre-flowers at, like, 50 days in. A lot of the plants have these just totally bizarre pre-flowers, though. They look like “opposite” parentheses, like this: )(
They’re growing into each other and then growing out again, not sure I’ve ever seen anything like it. If my camera could take decent closeups I’d take pictures of them, but it doesn’t, so…
Anyway, I’ve gotta water tomorrow. If I’m not seeing anything definitive, I’m just gonna transplant into five- and three-gallon containers in a couple days, pack them all into both tents and get this going. It’s time.

Pura Vida f2 #5 smoke report:
The PV #5 was this plant:
I chopped her on flower day 72, whereas the other PV f2 was chopped on day 79.
Looks:
Bear in mind that these nugs were jarred on March 15, so it’s been almost thee months now haha. That nug weighed 4.2 grams, so decent density, I guess, if that’s important to you.
Smell: Really good! Mostly floral, perfume-y and earthy, almost like “old lady potpourri,” which I don’t like in any instance other than weed haha. But in this case, it does smell very good.
Taste: Same as the smell, but, like, times 100. This weed tastes sooooooo good, reminds me of a better, stronger-tasting Larry OG. And I LOVE Larry OG. Full-on mouth-coating “floral/perfume” flavor, which, again, I would not enjoy in any other instance besides a weed-smoking one haha.
High: So I don’t like weed that hits me immediately. I prefer it when you don’t even really start feeling it for ten minutes, twenty minutes, thirty minutes etc etc. I like a slow and steady climb.
This weed’s weird, because I don’t feel it very much until about ten minutes after smoking it, but then I’m “instantly” baked. I dunno if that makes any sense, but that’s what happens every time I blaze her. Ten minutes in, it’s like,“Kabloom!” and then the high continues to climb for another half-hour or 45 minutes or so. Very cerebral, very electric, but not in a totally frantic sorta way. It reminds me a lot of Clusterfunk, actually, where I’m very aware of my skin and it feels kind of tingly and shit and my mind’s kinda going 100 miles an hour, but, again, not “frantic.” No rushy, racy heart-pounding feeling, either, which is great.
Same “up then down” kinda high as the Clusterfunk, too. And it doesn’t seem to matter what time of day it is or how much energy I have, I’m probably gonna fall asleep about an hour-and-a-half after blazing her.
I’m not sure I LOVE this one, but it does seem better after being in jars for a few months. The flavor alone makes it worth smoking. Good weed for sure, but it’s probably best-suited for getting ready for bed. Take a few bong rips, crank some music, get in the shower, dry off, moisturize, turn the music off, get in bed, watch an episode or two of Mad Men (I’ve been re-watching Mad Men lately haha), realize you’ve been in your head the entire time and have no idea what happened in said episodes and then fall asleep haha.

So, uh, good eye there, @ElGalloBlanco. I noticed male pre-flowers on that one today when I was watering and removed it from the tent, it’s just sitting on the dining room table right now; I’ll trash it in the next day or two. But I was looking at it a second ago and realized that I hadn’t topped it haha!, guess I missed that one.
I really need to start paying more attention haha, but I’m pretty sure everything else is topped. One of the Yesca/Jaro crosses and one of the Chocolate Blitzes also have male pre-flowers, so they’re sitting on the dining room table, too. I’m fairly certain another Hashplant D is male, but I’ve left it in the trays for now, kinda trying to will it to be a female haha. Pretty sure I’m gonna have to get rid of it when I transplant everything on Monday, though. Bummer.

Haha, that’s too funny! At least you are starting to see some pre-flowers though and won’t have to pot up a plant that is just going to turn out male anyways, hopefully you get at least one Hashplant D out of the three though.

There were actually five Hashplant D’s, we’re down to four now; I just didn’t post pics of all of them. Down to thirteen plants total after removing the three that showed male today (or that I noticed today, anyway haha). We’ll see what happens.
I really gotta start paying attention, though. Whenever I’m vegging, I’m always just like,”Lah Di Dah, whatever, just vegging along, doesn’t really matter, I’ll start caring when I flip…” haha. But, I mean, Jesus… Not noticing that I didn’t top a plant seems like… Uh… It seems like something.
“Look at the gawddamn plants!” haha.

Yeah well, you definitely have quite a few plants to care for so I wouldn’t be too hard on yourself. Especially so since you treat each plant differently as far as where you are going to top it, it’s not like you have a set thing you do in regards to that so there is going to be some variance.
Are you going to pot up whatever doesn’t show sex by tomorrow? Should be interesting if you have to go down to 3 gallon bags compared to the 7’s you normally do as far as watering goes. Hopefully you can squeeze in the 5’s at least. Chances are you will have to cull a few more late showing males anyway.

Excellent smoke report!
You got the classic “Creeper” effect. I find that happens more commonly in indicas than sativas. But i’m still experimenting.
12 Likes
Yeah, for sure, I’m not being “hard on myself” haha, it’s more just like,”Dude, you shoulda noticed that a week or two ago.”
Yeah. I’m washing the five- and seven-gallon bags right now, gonna fill them later today and keep them inside so that the soil’s relatively warm when I transplant tomorrow. I think I’m gonna skip the three-gallons and just fucking cram everything into the two tents. And then we’ll see what happens haha…
I mean, you never know… POSITIVE ATTITUDE. Manifest a female… haha. But yeah, I’m pretty sure that one Hashplant D is a male.
That Pura Vida f2 is for sure NOT a classic creeper. Like, at all. It’s a “weird creeper.” I don’t feel anything for like ten minutes and then it hits me like a ton of bricks.
When I think of “creeper weed,” I think of things that kinda gently ease me into being super-high over the course of thirty or 45 minutes, like the Bandaid Haze or the Mountain Temple or any number of other plants I’ve grown; that’s not how that PV f2 smokes at all. It’s like, I don’t feel anything for a little bit and then I’m just floored.
It’s kinda unique in that way, I guess. I’m not sure I’ve ever smoked anything where it was like,”Yeah, I don’t feel anything,” and then ten minutes later I’m like,”Shiiiiiiiit…”
It’s strong weed, but in a very, very weird way haha.
