Bravo Sir! Presuming the hashplant portion of this line’s genetics helped it get over the finish line in time. I invite you to consider making some Bhang with a portion to experience some of the Indian culture and an amazing feeling that was much different (and more potent) than regular edibles.
Here’s the recipe that I used last year with this line: Bhang Recipes - Holi Bhang Recipe, Holi Festival
Oh hell yeah! If you’ve never tried Bhang, I’ll echo @US3RNAM3 and say it is itsown kind of “edible”…
Happy Harvest!
That Malana looks wild. Great job all around indoor n outdoor! 
Just in time too, the weather came in a lot harder than I expected here, this is where the plant was until a few days ago
You’re too modest, my dude, look at these Frogspawn starting to finish up, the little one bulked up so hugely in the last week or two:
Moved the container trees inside for the winter, these will all go in the ground in the spring but get to live on my landing or sunporch for the winter. There’s a Spicebush in the round pot, the tall one with no leaves left is a Chicago or Hardy Fig and then the leafy one in back is a Japanese Loquat (plum) tree. The fig and loquat were from cuttings and I got the Spicebush at a local native nursery, it’s the closest thing to pepper native to New England
That’s so cool! How tf do you move those around? Dolly?
They sit in the driveway all summer and yes I move them with a hand truck and tie down strap when I need to. Today I wheeled them one by one to the front walk, washed off the pots and used the hand truck to get them up to the porch, then my partner and I each grabbed a handle and hauled them inside and up the stairs, the big containers are probably about a hundred pounds each. I call her my big strong oval wife, she was a college rower with NCAA trophies, and if you know about rowing she was a middle row in an Eight which they call “the engine room”
I was gonna say, that much dirt alone is pack mule level!
It’s a peat/perlite mix but yeah they’re heavier than I wanted them to be when we brought them inside! I meant to put covers on and let them dry out some but forgot
I worked out with the crew team at Wichita State University… for one week until I realized I couldn’t drink if I was gonna work out every morning at 5. Drinking was more important 
Unrelated but while you’re here can I get your advice on something? Should I scrape up and dab this spill I just found from when I was making QWISO? It’s awfully nice looking and I’m only half joking 
Haha that is a pretty spill! 
I mean, if it seems purged… I’ve never dabbed an iso wash, I figured it would choke me out!
It must be purged, it’s hard and sticky and so shiny….
@HeadyBearAdventures I’m smoking a Malana tester instead, sativa at night be damned:
Doesn’t mean I won’t try a lil forbidden shatter later tho
Oh man that’s sexy. I better have two smoke reports on my desk by the end of the night.
Here, it’s a wiki 
Malana tester bud
Aromas: that purple floral thing good Flo does
Flavors: slightly harsh and not burning well yet, herbal like lemon grassy, perfumed weed hashy, mint and dark grape
Effects: up up dreamy energy, I feel mischievous and a little wiggly now, eyes are very open
Forbidden hash
Coughing:
Blindness:
Mortality rate:
Yes! Oh man, I love that, especially for an early tester!
If anyone is just tuning in here at the Magic Wand Factory, here’s the short version of how I’m doing it nowadays:
Soil mix is homemade and recycled for over two years now, mostly based on ProMix HP and Sunshine 4 Pro Aggregate (really cheap at Lowe’s and I think it’s better actually) cut with about 50% extra perlite, coarse #2 that I get from Dicaperl in PA through Greenhouse Megastore in huge cheap bags. It gets leaf and stem trimmings recycled into the composting bin (a big HDX yellow and black storage bin) while I plant from the working bin (an even bigger aluminum tub I found in a junkyard that was apparently made for mounting on overland 4x4s? I topdress pots and amend the soil in bins with basically the same stuff (in different mixes usually), organic dry amendments from Espoma, Down To Earth and Coast of Maine mostly:
-CoM Stonington dry fertilizer mix
-CoM fish bone meal
-CoM worm castings
-Espoma Tomato-Tone
-DTE bone meal and crab meal
-Dr Earth Tomato and Vegetable
-Maxicrop soluble kelp (known as rockweed, Norwegian kelp, it’s ascophyllum nosodum)
-SEA-90 trace minerals
-Stoned Dust rock flour
-black soldier fly frass
-Oly Fish Compost
-on occasion some dry rolled oats, mushroom powder, basmati rice, pasta water, blackstrap molasses, coffee grounds (espresso grind from my Aeropress, organic Ethiopian usually sometimes decaf Mexican always light roast) or kale stems
And then I’ve been shifting from using larger and larger pots and plants to smaller 2-5g pots to flower in while very actively fertigating at pretty constant weak levels with Jack’s fertilizers, 20-20-20 and 10-30-20, always with Mr Fulvic (in basically every watering) and then regular maybe weekly use of Maxicrop, AgSil16H, Earth Juice Soy Protein Hydrolysate, Epsom salt, Hygrozyme, Recharge, freeze dried raw coconut water, freeze dried raw aloe powder or fresh aloe from my plant, and I like to give the plants a little Thai fish sauce (aminos!) and liquid smoke (pyroligneous acid!) every once in a while. The kitchen is full of great things for plants in moderation, I’ve found.
I alternate between top and bottom watering, it’s basically like liquor, browns go in the top but clear liquids only in the bottom 
. Plants are in saucers and I water freely as long as they keep sucking it up, when they stop I give them at least a day in hard pots, twelve hours usually for for the 2G fabric.
I used to use a lot of LABS solutions and should get back to that, those are great and I think they really contribute to flavor, sometimes I take a little whey liquid from my yogurt and put it in a watering if I remember to.
Compost teas are pretty awesome and I try to do them every few weeks, I brew for 48 hours and start using the tea at 24 then keep it going. I figure it gets my plants a spread of cultures from early to later growth in the tea. Just using worm castings, molasses, some Oly compost and some of my existing soil mix works pretty great and is very simple, I have used white or brown sugar before when out of molasses and honestly no difference that I saw, sugar is sugar to microbes. I also have and use the Boogie Brew two party teas which are honestly awesome and very reasonably priced, their recipe is open source and they sell the individual ingredients too which I like. It’s really easy and I see the plants go crazy when I use it in flower, it’s good for flipping and stretching they seem less stressed out.
My secret special treat for later in flower plants sometimes is a watering with a tablespoon of local dark maple syrup and a tablespoon of raw apple cider vinegar
Another secret I’ll share is the Oly Compost, it’s truly evil stuff and I’ve seen a lot of compost. I mostly use it as an inoculation to add diversity to fermentations like the compost tea, or my topdress. I mix up the topdress dry amendments a few weeks ahead of time with an equal amount of soil and add a cup each of castings and Oly, moisten slightly and mix, then pack it into quart yogurt containers and put it on the shelf until use. The odor when you open one is pretty indescribable, the dry amendments get pre-digested and they hit the plant almost immediately. It’s a good way to keep the top layer off your soil super active and chewing up the topdress I think.
My water is city tap, pretty low PPMs usually since it’s surface water in our local system. I don’t filter or bubble or do any chlorine or chloramine neutralization.
On top of the pots go discs of Reflectix insulation with a slit cut to thread them over the plant stem. This reflects more light up into the lower buds and also keeps the dirt cooler and darker like a mulch.
Three tents, three light spectrums.
2x4 for sprouts, seedlings, clones, mothers etc:
135w HLG single QB288 BSpec kit usually running around 80w, very cold and blue
3x4 for veg
2x 150w Viparspectra XS1500 Pro, lensed QBs with a warm universal spectrum
4x4 for flower
HLG 550 RSpec (4x QB288 @ 500w) very warm with lots of far and deep red
And 2x Solacure Super B 48” T8 UV tubes for UVA/UVB
Got another XS1500 in the box and a 320w HLG 2x QB96 (with pin sinks and active air cooling) based DIY light not in use at the moment along with a 3x3 cheapie tent I bought to dry in but will probably end up using for seed runs. Drying is pretty easy honestly I just bin everything once it gets close and burp it down on the branches before bucking into big Grove bags, way easy.
So that Malana tester got you a little chatty then? Haha…
