Thanks a lot! Unfortunately there was another natural disaster, but this time the generator supplied power for wasting on useless shit. LOL The fucking storm took out the power for 12 hours. Can’t wait to get the whole backup system operational, right now it just uses extension cords

Family in North idaho got hit hard by winds last night. Glad I live in a normally windy area. Power stays on.
well I’ll go into more detail, but yah we got the wind storm as well. It was BEFORE that shitstorm we got the mega shitstorm, where it snowed 60cm then started pounding rain like no tomorrow. After the power was restored, the wind started to howl.
I woke up in the morning the power was down already! That means the water is down, so I had to go scoop water out of the creek like some kind of animal. That was part of the plan though because there is limited generator power, and since there IS water just over there, we don’t need it to survive. Etc cook dinner on the BBQ it’s like an outdoor oven just for that purpose. Rip hash by candle light haha hah I mean by flashlight. Power up the TV and watch replays of insurgents storm the capital building, shake my head and turn it off. Go shovel a meter of snow off the path to the wood shed got to keep the fires burning! Ahh There’s a small slice of life in the deep woods for you. The hum of the generator reminding you, that you’re still alive.

hey I almost forgot! I’ve been thinking about some more broscience. I’m talking about harvesting in the dark, or darkness before harvest you know. The strange funky shit people will do that makes no sense. It’s all about the trichomes man! or whatever. I heard someone claim the trichomes shrink in the light or some wack shit. More trichomes form in the dark…etc it’s GOT MOAR CHRYTALS MAN!. All complete bullshit. According to the lifecycle of the trichome, not only are all those suggestions complete garbage, they border on lunacy. If you have some kind of magical images of this, I demand to see them right away, because as far as I can tell there is absolutely no proof of anything to do with trichomes and darkness cycles.

Have family property a mile from Canada in idaho. Gotta be prepared during winters.
Probably not so important when you are making fresh frozen hash with your harvest. The “bro science” is that sugars make your smoke harsh. Real science states that during the dark cycle up to 40% of the sugars that a plant creates during photosynthesis are exuded from the roots. (Jeff Lowenfels. Teeming with Nutrients). IME, harvesting before lights on leads to a smoother smoke, faster. Proper curing does the same thing at a slower pace.

hmmm that may be tumbling into the danger zone. I mean the good news is, it’s really easy to falsify those kinds of claims. When I get back from the walk, I can propose a simple method to determine if those claims have any merit.
Alright! Here’s the easy way to falsify any claims about the darkness. Harvest a single bud in darkness or light then the rest in the opposite condition. Perform whatever process then you get someone else to smoke that shit. Ask them if they noticed a difference. Smoke it yourself as well, but don’t say anything about it to your test subject. Real problem with the tests, I think, is it’s hard to lay you finger on the exact reality-claim you are trying to falsify. I have this total theory…one that people might find… hard to swallow? Except it’s just based on past experience not really a test. My theory is, they’ll be exactly the same.
OK so lets examine the logic here. It’s lights out, and I harvest a big cola. I trim that cola and hang it. As I turn around, the lights come on and I harvest the next cola. Light shone on that cola, is it different? yet? need another 20min? When is it supposed to be different? ok, lights are on and I’m harvesting a cola…then the lights go out. How long before the next colas reach “lights out” phase, and what is that supposed to look like? The thing is, I’m not debating the cycles of the plant, but talking about if there is some kind of zone here that can produce “real world” results in uhh harshness or smoothness? Man even saying that I shake my head at myself. What are we even talking about? needles in my throat? I don’t smoke that kind of shit. The poisoner grows weed like that. Is there something more specific I can sink my teeth into?

Well here’s the clones! I’m going to have to take a new bloom photo my camera fucked it. I can blame the camera, it’s acting really strange. It might be almost time to bin this one and get a new one.

I noticed there was a switch that got changed on the camera output lol. Works fine. You can see the big buds are definitely getting there! The one I super dosed it still has the smell! No lost terps due to overdoing it. I suspect I would have to go into reverse osmosis(nutrient lock) before that happened. Perhaps I can push these plants further

actually that was kind of interesting, holding the flowers up to my nose. It’s like a floral cantaloupe sweet smell. lol the exact opposite of the meat breath? more of an antiseptic spicy smell. Nothing is sweeter than the fresh big bud buds, they taste so sweet! Like some kind of melon gum. Over time that changes into a coffee smell. Haven’t noticed much of a change in most of the other buds I’m aging. The lemon buds still smell like lemon and the rose buds, are faded rose but still smell like roses. I think the lemon smell is lasting the longest, that bud must be 2 years old!
Those are all subjective, I know but it’s interesting all the same.

hah hah the combo the ferrets like the best is some big bud frozen fruity hash sprinkled on some coffee tasting aged big bud buds lol! By ferrets, I really mean my friends. Though big bud buds with fresh meat breath hash is winning some over! The rejected combo was king tut hash. hah hah can’t give that shit away I smoked it all instead.

Conductivity has been raised to crazy insane fruit bat levels. I’m really curious as to what happens! I will be taking some microscopic images starting tomorrow, I hope! I just moved them today so I don’t expect anything significant to happen 'till tomorrow.
