The Native Americans used pine resin on their canoes as adhesive and to fix holes. Once dry it’s waterproof and no longer sticky. I used it myself once for a canoe hole patch.

Guadalajara week 13. Looks like she will go a few more. There’s a very vigorous second flowering happening right now, glands are still clear.
Had a sample on 4/20. She’s as good as she looks. Picking a few seeds off…= successful preservation😁 Hoping to grow a few plants out this summer to get a look at what hidden gems those male plants contain.

No. I flushed them really well a few days ago. There’s some green growth at the bottom - they might be doing better now.

@rasterman Soil too hot for them maybe? I’ve pulled plants back out of a mix they don’t like if they haven’t heavily rooted into it yet. It was a quicker recovery for them in every case. Usually I mix some seedling soil into 2 inches of that too hot soil the roots sat on, and replant again in the same space.

That’s probably what I’ll have to do. I probably put in too much composted chicken poop. I’ve done this a couple of times before.

I decided to chop my two Pearl Stem moms. My note about age got wet, but I think they’re around week 11-12. I did a test smoke weeks ago and I think they’re ready enough.

@rasterman Twelve weeks sounds about right as a cutting. I hope they smoke good for you! I have found they really don’t need a cure.

Yeah when I chopped the herms I just dried it out and made doobs. It was good smoke as long as it lasted. I’m looking forward to burning through this!

I have also found the weed usually doesn’t last enough to test my theory🤣

How many weeks in flower? How many till harvest? That’s really beautiful.

@US3RNAM3 it’s a strong smooth effect. Very happy, carefree, good for working or relaxing. High comes on in waves. 2 hrs long microwaved. As far as aromas, there’s some sweet perfume of some sort mixed with Dank smell. In the skunk family without being skunk if that makes sense. Like Lambsbread or Kullu India, Palani Black India.
@Sintax I’m guessing 16, but I’m the Gunea pig. No info about it. Recently collected in Mexico. I was told the high is like walking on pillows. I agree.
I’m at week 13. There’s a few weeks left I think.

I’d definitely have to grow it in the tent. Michigan’s season too short to chance it.

Good call. No way it would finish for you. Flowering wouldn’t start until september.

This one looked female till it was taller then me then hermeid at the tops, bag seed physically brought back from Jamaica. Mid summer ish 15 gallon pot. Had to chop and pop an auto to get anything that year.

They all seemed pretty similar to me, except that two hermed and two didn’t - minty smells, pleasant, but not really loud. Effects were pleasant with waves of euphoria.

@Upstate I decided to go ahead and take the risk of planting outside.
I dug a hole next to a huge, wild gooseberry bush, down to bedrock. About eight inches. Then I dumped a mixture of compost and used soil I was keeping in a large plastic container on top of the hole
That’s when I saw the volunteer, still in the pod. So I must have discarded it for not sprouting. 
So whatever it is, it’s something I wanted to grow at some point. So I decided it could stay.
Then I planted all the Pearl Stem clones from the pot. They’re already looking better, so we’ll see.
Anyway, I wanted to talk about siting. The gooseberry hides most of the plant from my next door neighbor on the west. But I lose two hours of sunlight by being next to the gooseberry. Then there’s a tree, and another, at a perfect location to block, depending on where the guy is in his yard. Besides, he’s hardly ever there, just comes by once in awhile to check on the place.
Other neighbors are blocked by bushes, trees, whatever, but the plants otherwise out in the open. It’s all line of sight.
