That’s how I trim too! (Just barely haha)

Yeah, they’re tough!!! Many thanks for those!
The other seedlings of around the same age are already throwing pistils, one is laying around, not really growing much, another one looking confused, haha.
Those BB babies definitely withstood the light blaze stress test.

Optimal light intensity seems to be 30% strength on the dimmer of my quantumboard.
It’s a 100 Watt LED, so… if that means it’s about 30% of the Wattage as well, then talk about efficient!
Was really bombing them with light from up close at 100%.
It’s an interestingly short distance I can get away with.
Couple of benefits, closer light means less wattage is needed, which saves money on electricity.
And the slightly higher leaf temperature may be of benefit to the plant.
Straight as an arrow.

The Crème de la Chem is now smelling like patchouli and church incense.
Haven’t found any more nanners.
Gonna crush all the seeds of that one, to decompose in the soil.
I’ll still have a few seeds from the one that didn’t herm, so that’s cool!
Edit: found nanners on the other one, so all seeds will be crushed.

Beautiful structure on the biggest Blueberry Muffin x Vintage Blueberry.
Very close internodal spacing, strong thick stem already, for its age.
Thinking about stress testing all my plants at 100% light intensity for 3 days once in their flowering cycle, just to check if they herm or not.
That’s on top of all the insects, mold, droughts, very limited root space, …
Ideally creating extremely tough offspring.
Created a flood today, top and bottomwatered all pots, and excessively so.
Mainly to speed up root decomposition of the harvested plants so the seedlings have some more soil to work with.
There was about 4 cm of water standing in the container a few hours ago and it’s being slowly absorbed.
Saw a bare Rogue 111 seed in the Crème de la Chem pot and pushed it into the soil with a little stick, after poking around a bit in the topsoil, it was swarming with rolly pollie babies, shoo’d them away a little. Curious if any of the sprouts will survive…
Even if only one makes it, it would be a win!

Topped the Blueberry Muffin x Vintage Blueberry and ate the top, balls and all!
Will definitely let it pollinate later on when the unknown girls are ready.
^ Tomorrow will be a very interesting and glorious day.
NL5xAfghan decarbing for 2 hrs 10 mins. (with the lid on)
^ Nice Rogue (NL5xAfghan x unknown male) seeds.
The first person to post a nice black & white photo of Eva Green gets a pack.

It’s certainly not an unpleasant task to look through images of Eva Green.
Any reason she’s on your mind this evening?

Effects report Mr. Nice NL5xAfghan (mother of Nice Rogue):
My absolute favorite right now. What a cultivar…
Really opens the floodgates of the heart.
Pure bliss. Thank you Mr. Nice.
This shit hits different.
To feel like your heart is blazing like the fucking sun.
That or GTFO.
An absolute TREASURE I am so fucking grateful to have in my very chamber.
May everyone be at peace with themselves and the world.
Very excited and curious about what shall come from the seeds of this mother @HeadyBearAdventures .

I’ll allow them to shine!
Synchronicity: I’ve been perusing Mr. Nice auctions all week so that I could finally experience the work of Shantibaba, and last night poof a gift.
I’m happy to hear this plant is a blessing to you!

Found some more nanners in the biggest Crème de la Chem so harvested it, the ambers were there.
Sowed about 5-6 Nice Rogue (Mr. Nice NL5xAfghan x unknown male) seeds in that same pot after topping up with some bagged organic potting soil (based on peat and crushed grape seeds, compost, manure) mixed with some grassclippings. Maybe some Rogue 111 seeds will still pop up. Should be easy enough to distinguish the two.
^ Three Blueberry Muffin x Vintage Blueberry F2
Will cut back the tentacle vetch soon to give them a nitrogen boost.
It has already made a bunch of little beans, will let them ripen some more before I do.
The field vetch has been struggling overall. Maybe it is sacrificing itself to release nitrogen for the others, without me having to chop & drop them, intelligent plants… very convenient!
Effortlessness! It’s like they follow my intent.
^ Whole bunch of new sprouts popped up! Lost one or two. Harvested a lanky sativa male and made tea with it.
Below: Rogue Zero mother. Steady as she goes!

Unknown beauty.
A lighter shade of green with purple tips.
Started taking off recently, and no signs of slowing down!
It is well with my soul.
Life is good.

Just now in the news:
Fruit farmers worried about water shortage as they don’t get permits to dig a well. Images of big monoculture groves. Shortly mowed grass walking paths. And the surface directly around the tree trunks?
BARE SOIL. 
Unshaded, with the sun blazing upon it. 
They sprayed to kill the very weeds that would otherwise keep their soil from drying out, as well as fertilize the soil as it dies back down in winter. 
They were installing very expensive measuring equipment to track the water evaporation.
To look at their mistake in high definition, with as much data as possible.
This is why I keep saying that looking at the problem only creates more problems (cost, waste of time and resources).
In order to find solutions, the intent to find an alternative method must be dominant, not observing the problem. What you pay attention to you receive more of.
Pain lessens when you’re distracted or paying lots of attention to something completely different that is joyful. What’s joyful? Flowers.
All these farmers have to do, to drastically reduce their water needs is to sow a wide variety of companion and cover crops, as densely as possible, all throughout their groves.
A selection of seeds from different species, specifically designed to attract beneficial insects which eat the ones we don’t want.
All of that will provide lots of shade during the day, and at night and in the morning they harvest dew, which slowly slides down the stems, into the soil. Where mycorrhizal fungi absorb it and distribute it to every living plant it is connected with. It waters the soil effortlessly, without anyone having to lift a finger, without rain needing to happen.
Without plants, dew doesn’t have anything to hold onto.
It just evaporates, flies away on the wind.
That’s another thing, covercrops and companion crops break the wind.
The benefits just stack up and stack up…
Sow once.
Done.
Don’t do anything except harvesting half of the fruit, letting the other half improve the soil, feed the beneficial insects, birds (leaving poop behind, free fertilizer, seed distribution, pest control and the best live music in the world), improving the flavor and vitamin/mineral content along with other beneficial compounds and enjoying your walks around your grove.
Effortlessness.
If it requires effort, it’s not the best solution.
Throwing fistfulls of different seeds around, where’s the effort in that?

Mr. Nice NL5xAfghan for breakfast.
Crazy good landrace hybrid stuff.
Was gonna write another effects report, but finding the right words is an adventure.
How to compare it to Sourblutooth… (I’ve been switching back and forth the past few days.)
Now I really feel a very pleasant feeling in my chest.
With Sourblutooth it’s much milder, and more spread out throughout my body, still very much anchored in the phsyical world. More “under the skin” rather than blissed out.
The NL5xAfghan is little more dreamy, more focused brainactivity going on.
Sounds like a paradox maybe, but all truth is as such.
Sometimes mild headache upon waking which fades out quickly.
I will remember to eat less sweets before going to bed and drink more water.

I have now given away packs of seeds from every cross I made.
Now, the itch to throw all my seeds, once again, into all the pots, is very real.
Well, let’s see what the OG has to say about that:
POLL . Carpetbomb ALL the seeds.
- Ofcourse!
- Outstanding!
- Fabulous!
