Hey all!
WillieP here.
I wanted to start a thread in the Grow Journal section to document my grows, and also to serve as a place to keep my notes and photos in one place.
(this is a follow up to this thread: https://www.rollitup.org/t/and-yet-another-noob-asking-for-advice.1013097/#post-15529886)
All civil human beings are welcome here, and please feel free to comment and/or advise as you see fit, as long as it is done in the spirit of helpfulness.
If you came here just to be an AssHat, just move along!
This will start by covering the smoke report that was mentioned in the other thread. (sort-of)
I have drank bourbon for many years. I can tell you the difference between a $18.00 bottle and a $54.00 bottle blindfolded.
And feel that I could give you a decent evaluation of both, especially the better bottle.
I tell you that, to tell you this...
I have not smoke weed in over 25 years until it became legal in my state this last January. (when I started my first ever grow)
I grew two plant of the same strain.
I chose to grow Hydro with a SCROG setup. 500 watts of homemade LED lighting (at the wall), 5x5 grow tent. Dry nutrients.
Overall I was very please with the grow. There was, of course, some Newbie growing pains that comes with a first of anything. Live and Learn.
I allowed one of the plants to mature for 12 days longer than the other before harvesting. I thought I jumped the gun on the first one, and I thought it would be interesting to see if there was a noticeable difference between the two. I harvested nearly 6 oz. of bud and strong 2 oz. of trim from each plant, dry weights of course. I veg'd for 60 days and harvested the first plant at 64 & 65 days from flip, and the second at 77 days from flip.
As I have heard it said, if there ain't pictures...it didn't happen...
SO DID SOMEONE MENTION A SMOKE REPORT, OR WHAT...???
Well to tell you the truth, I haven't smoked any of it. I have vaped some of it, and guess what...It will get you high.
This is a 21% THC, 19% CBD strain chosen more for pain relief and to be used as a sleep aid. Medicinal.
My wife and I both quit smoking cigarettes over 20 yrs ago, and neither of us are big fans of the vaping. Not that there is anything wrong with vaping, this is just a personal choice. Feels a bit to much like smoking, and we don't want to go down that road.
I simply don't have the ability to give a proper smoke report. Flavor, body or head high, etc., etc., etc. Sorry!
I have given bud to three different experienced smokers (30-40 yrs), and asked for their opinions. Two out of three have said that they were very pleased with the smoke and have came back to try the second plant's bud. The third has not yet reported back. I did ask the first two if they could tell the difference between the first and second plants, but those results are not yet in either. I will update with more when available.
So you say you have 3/4 lb. of bud and you don't smoke...What the Hell...
Enter...Edibles!
Thus far, I have made gummies, butter mints, chocolate fudge, caramels, peanut butter fudge and toffee.
(in varying dosage strengths from 2.5 mg to 30+ mg)
All have been a success, with the caramels and the fudges being the best of the bunch.
The effect of the edibles are a more gradual onset, and longer lasting duration.
It gives a very relaxing peaceful feeling, helps with pain, and seem to help with sleep as well.
Overall very pleased.
I will try to cover my second grow that is in progress currently in the next installment of WillieP's World.
Before I forget, wanted to give a shout out to all those who have taken their time to assist this Newbie along this journey so far!
Special thanks to @Dr.Amber Trichome and @Laughing Grass who have been kind enough to allow me to PM them when I was in particular need.
Cheers,
WillieP
