I'm going to start my Auto GDP indoors about mid March. Weather should be nice in about three weeks later when they will be ready to go out. Going to start my photo's about April to go in the ground May. The light schedule should be just right about that time.

for me down here late feb to early march...i usually wait till the last freeze, give it a week after and it should be golden timing, just can't go past May into June cause the south wind comes and the humidity and the heat come....wish i still had a place down along the coast line

Yeah it gets into the upper 90's here easy too. I have a little plot close by so I can tend and water easily. I'm just concerned with the timing of the light schedule. Don't want my photo plants to start flowering too early. I think mid May should be perfect.

I liken the people of which I speak of as the people who go to a restaurant, eat 80%, then complain it wasn't good enough.

This is an important concept.
The customer is NOT always right.
I have seen first-hand exactly what you described. In this case, the manager had few options because the place was packed and he didn't want to make a huge scene. He comped everything -- even the margaritas, just to get them out.
In hindsight, his strategy could backfire. What if other people see this go down and think they can get free meals plus drinks just by complaining about nothing?
I felt sorry for the guy.
Not sure what I would have done.

I've actually got a restaurant story from last weekend that ended badly in a completely different way.
My wife's hairdresser recently opened a restaurant so we went to check it out. The food was OK, but I swear the bread they used for my sandwich had been microwaved.
The beer was fine but could have been colder.
But what it really needed was to NOT have a giant sliver of fucking glass in the bottom of the glass! It was very thin, wide, and sharp. Crescent shaped about the width of a quarter. :shock:
Good thing I wasn't chugging my fucking beer! Glass doesn't show up in x-rays!
So I pointed this out to the OWNER, who apologized profusely. Then she went to speak with our server and I assumed she was comping everything -- or at least the beer-o-death.
Nope.
She disappeared and our check was full retail.
I wanted to bitch, but my wife felt sorry for her so we just paid it & left. :dunce:
WTF?
Sorry for HER?
I'm the one who almost died... :roll:

Rolling can be tedious for sure. That's why I prefer to do large batches. It's not uncommon to sit down and twist 30+ while watching TV.
Grinding takes as much time as rolling. Consistent texture is the key to a good joint.

Anyone know where to buy a BIG grinder? I didn't see any on Amazon.
Mine is made for small quantities... :-(

A cache of prerolls is nice to have on hand. I went to see Star Wars at the IMAX downtown and just grabbed a handful for the road. Got us fucked up before & after the movie and I gave away what was left.
The same thing has happened with last minute fishing trips. Just grab some doobs and go! 8)

I'm picking up what you're putting down, I don't like rolling either. I just know me. Lol. My girl always asks, how many did you roll? This one:bigjoint: I'll do prerolls if I'm going somewhere, most places we go (family/friends) we are the only smokers, so having it ready is the way to go.

It's automatic after you've done it a zillion times.
But seriously, it's easy if you pay attention.
There are two things that are key:
1) Use a machine that is wider than your papers and fill it completely. Then you can easily adjust them if they are too hard or soft.
2) A consistent texture is essential for a good burn, so a grinder is highly recommended. I like the kind that do NOT have holes that let the weed fall into a storage chamber. They are OK if that's all you've got, but I like to have complete control over granularity. If your weed is too sticky for the grinder, let it dry out for a day then give it a medium grind before rolling.
