Here's something Bodhi related: My last homegrown nug. This is the last of the Dream Lotus that I was able to save this spring when I found myself unexpectedly relocating.
Silver linings: February ended up being a fantastic time to unexpectedly relocate out of Seattle.
I was initially worried about not being able to dry it properly, and i did lose some (some of it i forgot in a grocery bag in a storage unit for a month) but what I was able to save came out really, really good. I didn't do a very good job curing it, so the smells in flower didn't translate much to the final bud, but the taste is on point and potency is great. I'm not very good at describing effects, but it leaves me feeling a lot more mentally energetic.
One interesting takeaway from this is that I've had to go back to smoking dispensary weed. I've always preferred my own weed, but I assumed that was confirmation bias. I want my weed to be better because I worked so hard on it! But going back to dispensary weed, and being pretty consistently disappointed with everything in my price range was pretty validating. Obviously there is much better weed, but I find it hard to bring myself to pay double to move up one 'shelf'. But if I can grow better shit than I can afford, and the shit I grow for cheap can hang with the top shelf weed, well shit, that's the dream, ain't it?
My current leasing agreement will have me smoking dispensary weed for some time, but I'm still collecting seeds, and lurking here when I can. I'll be back up and running again soon. Hope you're all doing well, folks.
