beautiful! and I was exactly the same. But I love smoking joints too much and during an evening if I am alone will just chain smoke...yup, I know its bad but when you are addicted its hard hahaha. All my trim and most of my outdoor goes into rosin now. Plus like you, half ounce at a time of flower pressed for personage!

I have looked at the harvest right machines but really I am not growing enough to shell out 3k. I have done a few fresh frozen runs ghetto style and its worked great, superb smell and looks amazing, but for the effort I am not sure its worth it. Can take a while to do ghetto style.

I get you, my wife rolled a pure Wedding Cake f4 joint the other week and the smell made my mouth water, ended up rolling one after 7 months of not smoking lol, was tasty as hell though. Also health reasons, got myself in great shape. Went down the edible route with my trim, recommend soaking the phucks from the Nugsmasher too if you've not tired that yet. Need a fair few and slow cooker but results have been devastating.

Yeah you either need to be running high numbers for a harvest right or have a couple of you split the costs. I've spoke to a few commercial lads who can't praise them enough, hope there's a home edition somewhere on the horizon lol. Yes seen your rosin, beautiful colour and texture mate.

Its certainly wasn't sugar friendly

I have been meaning to do it with my pucks. Seriously have a carrier bag of them sitting around!!! I'll get round to it eventually lol.

And here as promised a few pics of my fave Whisky tipples at the moment. @Funkentelechy

The Royal Brackla is some lush, smooth Highland Whisky.
The 15 year is is one of my fave Glenlivets. Fruity and smooth as well.
And The Chapter 7 is a new blended Whisky which comes from the Spey Valley. I normally drink Singles but this blend is really nice.

Thank you for posting those, now I have some Speysides to try. And, sorry for taking so long to respond I've been on evacuation for the past two months, due to a wildfire, and have just now gotten to go back home.

I enjoy all sorts of whisky, as far as American whiskey is concerned I really like a good rye most bourbon is too sweet for my tastes, but Scotch is my favorite.

I'm an Islay Scotch fan, I love the peat and the smoke.
Islay Scotches smell like smoke and iodine, and taste like a mermaid's bathwater.

Here are some of my favorites that I have in the house at the moment:

Lagavulin 16. This one is smooth(for an Islay Scotch), smokey but not oily, bit of vanilla, and a refined finish.

Ardbeg Corryvreckan. Corryvreckan is bold, smokey, pine, pepper, with almost like a combination of dark cherries and orange bitters. It's 114 proof but it doesn't have that fumey evaporate off the tongue effect that you might expect, it's very well balanced.
Bruichladdich Port Charlotte 10 Year. This one is the least peaty of the scotches posted despite claiming to be "heavily peated", very little of the Briney iodine flavor that you typically get from Islay Scotches, more of a honey floral malt forward flavor to me.

Ardbeg Wee Beastie. This one is bold, unrefined, and no-nonsense. Smoke and peat forward, very peppery, not for the faint of heart. It reminds me a bit of Laphroaig 10 but the edges are a little less rounded off.

My favorite of the Scotches posted is the Ardbeg Corryvreckan tied with Ardbeg Uigeadail(not pictured), followed closely by the Lagavulin 16. Another good one is Kilchoman Sanaig, and my go-to(due to a combination of cost, availability, and taste) is Laphroig 10.

Nice. Love the pictures, gonna have to up my photography game!!! Sorry to hear about having to evacuate. Have you lost any plants or property?
I think my Old man would like to visit you. He's very much on the Island side. I have had a few Lagavulin and of course Laphroig 10s, and I would never have a bad word to say about them. A couple of years back I had a Bunnahabhain 12 which I drank quite feverishly. I like an easy drink and would say middle range on the sweet side, lots of fruit and smoothness (probably why I like the honey side). My Mum bought me a small flask for Xmas and a bottle of Jack Daniels when I was 18. She said it would be nice to have for walking to the pub on cold nights. You have to love a Scottish mother haha. My love of whisky/ bourbon started there. Thanks Mum
Thanks for sharing the pics. Awesome descriptions and makes me want to find a whisky tasting session somewhere. Have a great weekend!

The vertical cab is getting a bit bushy. Time to take clones, thin out the spindley mofos, and flip to flower....will also flip the top 315 so that its on top of the top tube, not on the bottom of it.


Some sunset pics from our gaff in Amsterdam.

I love that, way to go mom!!

My mom was a hippy, when I was 17 she sat me down with a pack of rolling papers and a literal garbage bag full of clippings and told me that if I was going to smoke pot I had to learn to roll a joint myself.

Sorry to hear about having to evacuate. Have you lost any plants or property?

I was evacuated for two months but when they evacuated the town some people refused to leave, I knew one person who stayed and they watered my plants for a week or so. Then the fire jumped containment lines and took out the town. https://www.latimes.com/story/2021-08-05/dramatic-photos-of-dixie-fire-destroying-large-swath-of-greenville-it-sounds-like-a-war-zone
After that everybody left, they posted the National guard at all of the entrances keeping everybody out. I wasn't able to get into the area for two and a half/three weeks but I was successfully able to sneak in eventually and was happy to find that my house had been spared(somehow) and what's more, my plants were still alive barely. The plants are outdoor in the ground and I attribute their survival to having very deep root systems. I got lucky, all the houses on the other side of my street burned to the ground but inexplicably my house was saved.
I've been able to nurse my plants back to health, and the wind was blowing away from my house so there wasn't even very much ash. I feel incredibly fortunate but there are no groceries stores, no gas stations, no fire stations.

That is both totally dire and totally amazing. One can only imagine how many little old ladies you helped cross the road to achieve that luck! Sometimes life is just about "how the wind blows"....I can testify to that myself growing up in Scotland and having to pee many times whilst up a hill or mountain! You got to hope the wind blows for ya!

Those pics from LA times are bonkers. You guys in the states have got to put up with some shite!

Its the end of season here and definitely got a bit nippier the last few days. Not much happening on the roof top at the moment. Got a pot of spuds finishing off, some cavolo nero, most of my tomatoes have been eaten and I got 1 lonely male next to a sweet red pepper plant in the greenhouse!



And some clones I just done....



Have a great week everyone. Got to sort out the vertical today so will do a before and after....

Been doing some house plant clones.
This Jade plant (sometimes called Money Plant or Lucky plant) i got when I stayed in a friend's apartment (20 years ago) while he was in Australia. He decided to sell the place and I got his plants (the Jade and a cactus). He also had the same name as me, we worked together at a couple of places and he was a good lad. Unfortunately he passed away a few years back due to epilepsy. His plant will hopefully keep going. Strange thing was before he passed the thing got riddled with Wolluis (mealybug things). It was fucked, but after numerous treatments with a pyrethrin based spray it eventually came back to life. His wife then contacted us to say he had passed.

We also have what we call Pannekoekenplanten or Chinese Money

The Plants were gifted by our neighbours. This was the mushroom growing plant from before. Well she was supper preggers so clones have been done. Not sure where they will go but we'll figure something out.

peace DST

 

[Funkentelechy]

I have a few jade plants and one that has become infested with Wolluis, I didn't know what they were called before your post, but I looked up Wolluis and that's what they are, thanks for posting that.

So sorry about your friend, what a shame. Epilepsy is something that we know surprisingly little about, I really hope that changes.
Our understanding of how the brain works is still in its infancy.

I think our understanding of a lot if things is still in its infancy.
And those wolluis are the worst! Double concentration i was using and eventually beat them. But they literally ate half my plant....never seen anything like it. They came froma neighbours plant that I was asked to look after, grrrrrr. I thought it was mould or something at first. Good luck with the battle!

Here we are in week 5. These should start fattening out now (he says confidently lol).

Think I will be flipping the vertical this weekend as well.

And some more fun for me and the boys. We have a MOC police station already but that's being replaced with this beauty. The build follows a diorama with one of the thief's breaking out and stealing some doughnuts from the shop attached and there's of course a corrupt Police chief....I like how Lego have attached a doughnut shop to the station hahaha. And we got a free gift...yay. I wonder if we'll ever get 420 Lego sets. If you haven't already seen it. Check out some of Dante Dentoni's Lego art work. He's got one with a grow room built into a massive pillar (he does a lot of Lego built into actual structures)...insanely creative.


Enjoy, peace DST

Hah hah, that’s cute. Oh wow ... I like how you used that Panasonic collapse in the vertical cab snap shot. That’s so trippy how the long green leaves are weeping like that. So how long have you been growing in that little closet of yours ? s that the same grow space that I saw at your penthouse? Lol . I like the duct tape you use for the light. How old is that light?

hey Ambs. I also thought the photo looked a bit stretched....whatever I did it was totally by accident lmfao....
And yes, it is the same tiny cupboard that we all tried to cram into hehe. We moved in 2007 but I only started the vertical in 2010 I think....or was it 09. Anyways, the lights are not that old, probably 2 years or so. Again time flies and I forget when I switched to the cmh315s.
I am going to be turning the top light so it hangs downwards from the top of the cool tune not the bottom...due to a slightly longer veg.

How long is your veg going to be? And what’s your biggest yield in there so far?

 

[DST]

Biggest yield has been 1200g but that was with hps 600s. Average is around 600 up to 800.
Veg has been going on now 4 weeks ish.

Progress on that "place nobody likes to go", no not the shit pit....Het Politiebureau!
The best bit so far is the pit under the cell that's being dug out with an ice cream spoon! Didn't take a pic of the spoon though as that's under the bench.

Back to the football.
