it’s on the September long weekend, so it’s coming up in about 2 weeks!
Forgot to mention, in the contest which is run by a legal producer here in Canada. I’ll be going up against cultivators and micro cultivators as well as multitudes of medical growers and then just a handful of recreational 4 plant-humans. I expect to be pitted against 25 other people with probably 50 entries!

here’s a scene from a couple years ago, there was a big collection of cannabis jello shots. People were getting 10mg chunks I said “hey…fire me up with 100mg”! Then I could hear “ohh shit, he’s raised the bar”. I was feelin’ mighty fine! Alcohol consumption is banned.

Here’s one of the random nugs we were judging. It’s laying on top of the form used to fill out your judgement on the weed 
I’ll take some photos during the contest. I make sure nobody’s face is revealed to protect the… uhhh innocent? LOL forgot to mention if your weed doesn’t burn you get kicked out. OR if it tastes green as well. I look forward to smoking GOOD WEED!

hoooooooooooooly! Took me forever to get things cleaned up. I admit…I wasn’t working hard at it.
it’s not exactly clair patterson’s ultra clean room… but it works! It’s more like his earlier work where he was using a mop and bucket LOL
In case anyone hasn’t seen Dr Bruce Bugbee on youtube, you should go watch some of his talks about growing cannabis. I follow the works of people like max planck, clair patterson, bugbee. I mean the ironical part is you can extract information that helps you grow cannabis from patterson and plank, even though they have nothing to do with growing weed.

I’m looking forward to watching a grow in your space from the start in real time

well…It may…or may not… surprise you there are plants ready to start bloom already and some ready to plant. That image is the bloom room.I really wanted to get things sorted in the hash round with the final test before I started the next cycles. Now things are sorted, I’m going to start slotting number 1(big bud) and number 2(meat breath) into the grow cycle. Next slot is already assigned to king tut, but I’m not going to trash that cycle, I’ll let it ride.

ok just a warning about the next phase of the operation. I am hopefully going to be testing 11 additional strains. We’ll see what happens, but I have another couple years left in my search pattern. Just strains like pink kush and other shit. I can’t remember them all. Also, this test will encompass data on the justice league’s ability to grasp the clean room concept. Justice League is a real world medical cannabis growing cluster. “A new scientific truth does not triumph by convincing its opponents and making them see the light, but rather because its opponents eventually die and a new generation grows up that is familiar with it.” max planck

Right on, still looking forward to it. All your shots are jungles and it’s hard to see how it got to that stage.
You’re right puffer, I never spend any time on the veg phase documenting it. I’m all about the bloom phase and the glory shots! This time I will document the veg phase from extraction to planting. hmmm
you know, it’s hard to put my finger on where the grow actually begins, because the next generations are “On Ice” a process where the clones get barely anything so they sort of live but don’t grow. I’ll show how I take hibernating clones from previous rounds and start them up again.

There’s some photos of plants that have been sitting around. I guess they’re not in the best condition, but a few were almost completely deprived of light. The oldest ones there are uhh really old older than 2 months. They were a discontinued strain that I stopped growing a long time ago but never tossed them out. I dunno oldest and shittiest ones could be 4 months old. Perhaps even longer. In the coming days I’ll pull out several? 8 of them I think of various kinds and bring them back to life. King tut big bud and meat breath. New test subjects are hopefully coming soon!

ok the next bloom phase has started. You could wonder where these plants came from…but I’ll tell you. They have been growing up in the veg room under LED while I was blooming. I held off on the next batch until the hash making test was over, or I’m just a lazy slacker.
Guess I’m a lazy slacker, I should have planted those big bud clones a month ago!

I’ll go down there and cut off the lower shit branches that will never grow anything worthwhile. Sometimes like last round I did nothing, but there were lots of shit branches to toss after the harvest.
Sorry for all the incessant questions, I’m stoned and in a learning mood.
How long do you typically veg for? I know you said some of those plants were months old and it sounded like that’s longer than you usually veg.

yah I veg while I bloom so the veg period is equal to the bloom period. The LED lights don’t exactly promote cell elongation. Under HPS the plant would fill the entire room after 2 months. The only terrible question is the one unasked…well for the most part

one day, I will take a photo of all the kilos of buds I have. So much un-smoked pristine buds just dried and sitting around in bags and boxes. I should definitely take a photo of the freezer. I had to toss buds in the compost because there were tooooooooooo fucking many! hah hah how many people make that claim when they are blooming 8 plants. “duuuuude, I grew too much weed!”

Problems I’d love to have one day. Instead of “how am I going to make what I can grow last long enough till the next harvest”
So far haven’t been able to keep production up with consumption, but hopefully I’m turning a corner there now.

man I just had this memory of buddy from so long ago. He says to me “what are you trying to do? Change the industry?” I replied, “The industry can only change if it wants to” <–classic therapist response. Sadly he died of cancer long before he could see the changes sweep over this shit hole. Shit hole meaning the industry hah hah…why do you think I started growing? It was so I didn’t have to subject myself to other people’s garbage.
