It’s funny, the look on people’s face sometimes when they ask me how much Cannabis I consume and I tell them like 7-8 lbs a year. And that’s just smoking!!

Thanks @Oldtimerunderground
It takes a min to do cuz I uploaded all the pics from my phone, then went in and edited the text into it using my laptop. I can’t imagine writing that much on my phone…

I would be scared to quantify how much cannabis I consume in a year. But I don’t think it is that much… that’s like 10g/day!!!

haha yeah man. I think what scares me the most is if I had to pay for how much I smoke. Makes me want to throw 100 seeds in the ground right now just thinkin about it.
Yeah I would say 10gs a day sounds about right. If you added in all the juicing of the leaves, extracts and edibles, capsules, roasted root brews(so good), and everything else I don’t even know how much that would be when everything’s said and done. 100+lbs? Crazy shit

Damn! With consuming all that at least you get free plants growing out your ears…

Its been another week so time for an update…
First I wanna thank @schmarmpit for sending some OG Love. Some mail arrived today too so there will be another OG Love update this week…
I am just gonna narrate in the order that the pics uploaded in.
The main grow cab, mostly “Slyme cookies” #2, but some other stuff too.
Again only under better light just after lights out. You can see I raised the middle tray with the smaller clones in 1gal squares up with a milk crate. I think it helps even the canopy. I also lowered the light by maybe 8-10 inches… More power!!!
Another shot but from above…
Last week I said I was popping some Freakshow from @anon71563794, well 6 little freaks have popped their heads above ground! I think that will be all for this cohort. All 6 show leaf mutations! I can’t wait to see each new leaf unfurl with these guys and gals. Hopefully I end up with some beautiful fern-type2 leaves to perpetuate.
Here are 3 shots of the Blueberry Auto-60’s from Mark, they are just chugging right along. I plan to give these at few more days before up-potting to 5 gallon pots to flower in and put them outdoors. I had 9 of these last week but one is a super runt. I put it outside today in its 1gal and it greened up a bit. I may just flower it in the 1 gal instead of culling it…
A look at the clones I am still attempting to reverse with CS, but still no signs of any success. Still I am gonna keep at it till they either reverse, or I need the space more urgently for something else…
Finally for those who stuck with me the whole way here are some bud shots!
This is the Early Miss Auto that I was having so much trouble getting to finish. well I called her, and yesterday I finally cut her down and strung her up.
First “legal” harvest of my life!!! A good day.
Thanks for tuning in.

Awesome update! on the freakshow pic I see about 4 different leaf patterns starting… The upper right seedling is what the moms first leaves looked like so it should be very “ferny” as it grows. The top left I seen before and mine was a bit lacier looking.
So I picked up some mail on Wednesday… and it felt like Christmas…
One,
Two,
Three letters from OG friends waiting for me!!!
I want to give a big shout out to @cannabliss for generously setting me up with quite a few more auto strains, especially since the collection I had to offer in return was so pathetic! Real OG spirit right there.
Next up is @ReikoX , the “Free Seed Friday” pack landed safely. Thanks!
It was searching for info on breeding auto’s that lead me to his “Auto Projects” thread and OG! So glad I found this place. I am soooo psyched to get some 
from the master! I will try to do them justice!!! Talk about turnaround time, these arrived 4 days (3 mail days) after winning. I have a hard time getting an envelope stamped and to the mailbox in 4 days!
Finally I want to thank @rooted for the really nice note and for entrusting me with his personal creation “Breath of the Beast”. I will make sure to keep them close but also pass them on (after running them) in the same freely given spirit they came to me in. Thank you.
Gonna do some up-potting tonight so maybe an update with some pics tomorrow!

I intended to to do an update today, but I slept in instead. I will try harder to get one done tonight. In the meantime I have some Thank You’s to fire off!
First is @Kcity87. I got that pack of Henchmen! Hopefully another pack of them didn’t get sent out yesterday via free seed thread (with the Lavender Frosting?), but if it does I will pass along to someone IRL or a newb here!
I also want to thank @other_barry I am gonna get the Tropicana Poison going once I have some Auto pollen to keep pushing them in that direction!
Next up is @Mr.Sparkle the Cinderevil landed! Man you went kinds crazy with the stamps on that letter! Your 3D printed hex seed holder is awesome. When i first looked at it it seemed so small 
. But I shined a flashlight through it to see the bean-age without unsealing them and there is plenty of major jammed in that little hex! majorly impressive!
@Oldtimerunderground, The Dream Team has materialized. Thank you for PMing me the strain description. SO much easier to find, and I don’t need to go tracking down any info. I know I like WW and Bubblegum so this should be tasty!
@JBow918 Thank you for the Spotted Lime F2’s! Yours was the 1st piece of mail I opened (with the fam) and they were all majorly impressed by your packaging!!! So much so I had to convince the wife that I was not buying beans with diaper money!!! One day I will have my packaging game at that level. Gotta level up my seed making game first thou…
Finally @DougDawson is making his weekly appearance. I got the P-P-P-Pollen! I hit some things with it already last night. I sent some of my plants to a friend to veg, which then immediatly budded, then started re-veging as summer has progressed. So I chopped all the buds and fresh frozen bubble hashed them… Anyways, I hit all the lower remaining buds of Slyme Cookies (I and II) and Platinum Dosidos. But the Forbidden Jelly never budded up as much and is more fully revegged already, so I dusted the whole thing (its kinda like a super heavy pre-flower right now with 5-10 pistils at every node). Hopefully knocking them up doesn’t totally interupt the re-veg but for a 1st pollen chuck it was worth it! If I get some seeds that is! I only had to use the tiniest bit of pollen whipped off from the sides of the bag, I didn’t touch the main mass. SOOO much pollen in that little bag!!!
Hopefully some pics and a synopsis of the past 2 weeks tonight!!!
Thank You Everyone For Tuning In,

Update here we go…
So before I found this place I only had a few beans. So after popping the 4 good photo seeds I had I cloned them… A lot… Way more than I needed. I gave many away, still had too many. Ended up moving them outside to “veg”, well they budded. This despite being in tiny 4" pots. Then in the last weeks they stopped ripening and started reversing. What could I do? I pruned off all the buds, but figure they were not worth curing and smoking… Bubble Hash!
I had never made bubble hash before… but I ordered up some bags and I was off to the races!
Two plants before…
A close up… Not really ready or prime but not improving with time so chop…
Halfway done with these…
Another after pic of the clone en-mass beds after harvest. I am hoping some of these will re-veg still… I really want to re-clone, reverse (maybe try STS this time), and self (S1) the Slyme Cookies (II) and the Platinum Dosidos…
Looks like the set of a plant slasher film!
You can see I let a few go unscathed to see what will happen to them as summer progresses… I will be able to see if I made the right choice to chop…or not.
I did the hash fresh-frozen, which made harvesting easy. I has 4 quart mason jars (snug but not smashed, I could have fit more in each jar if I wanted to) of sun-leaf less pseudo-buds, which magically turned into this…
45-89 micron 1st wash
Again, bad lighting, I wish I still had natural daylight… maybe more hash porn coming in the morning…
90-119 micron 1st wash
45-119 2ed wash
and 45-119 micron 3ed wash
The Blueberry Auto-60’s were all up-potted into 5-gal pots. Looking mostly ok. Some early sign of maybe some insect damage or just stress from moving indoors to out…
The square pot is the 1 gallon squares they were in previously…
Things are humming along in the cab too… These bigger, mostly Slyme Cookies (II) clones are not adding any new bud structure. I was hoping they would fill in better, but oh well. They look to me like they need another 1-3 weeks, but I will keep glassing the trichomes to gauge ripeness and time harvesting.
Forbidden Jelly… This still may have time to get hit with some P-P-P-Pollen courtesy of you know who…
The Cotton Candy Kush Auto x Knight Templar Kush breeding project is going well. If you look closely you can see them jammed in all around the plants in the big white pots. All 20 of them are starting to show their sex, and I got a nice mix of Males and Females. It also looks like the timing is going to work as the sinsimilla crop should be done before the spunk starts flying. They sure are stretching this week though!
The wilting clones front right are the failed CS reversal clones. Gonna compost them soon.
After re-potting the Blueberry Auto-60’s and moving them outside I had an almost empty veg space. So I did some re-arranging and turned off some of the lights…
Sadly I left the Freakshow babies too close to the light and fan and when I got home 3/6 had fried 
Thankfully @anon71563794 is already stepping in with another pack so the freak-play will continue…
They are growing slowly, but I have been told to expect this and that they will continually accelerate in growth…
The biggest of the three, on the left in the group shot…
Thanks for stopping by… Until my next update…
STAY HIGH and SPREAD THE LOVE!

Thanks,
I am very happy with it for 1st time. Yield was greater than I expected. Although I have not weighed any of it so I have no data. It’s smokes nice 
which is what matters. But it’s nowhere near what some people around here can do… much room to improve!!!

So I did do some fun pollinating of stuff, the night my PPP pollen arrived, in what was left of a different garden of mine after taking an early harvest…for fun.
But tonight I did my first controlled pollen chuck. Forbidden Jelly x PPP from @DougDawson!
(Is the convention female parent x male parent?)
I hit everything below the twisty ties labeling the branches hit. Basically the lower half of the plant, although I would expect the whole thing to be pretty well seeded considering how that pollen floats…
Hopefully it is not too far along already. Lots of white pistills but will they have time to finish?
What do you all think?
Gonna pretty much let this plant go until it drys on the vine and falls over…
(or 6-8 weeks?, less?)

It’s going to be a crapshoot. Some might finish some might not. Some might say it’s too late but I’ve only ever pollinated once and it was during week 2-3. You did label them correctly in my opinion. Some label male first but I don’t think that’s the “standard”.
Either way I’m looking forward to seeing your results
