100% @Star Dog same for me mate had a break over Christmas/new year my mrs kept asking me why I was so moody after her asking me which felt like a million times what’s up ? “for fuck sake women I ain’t got any plants on the go “ normality has been restored
Theres something calming about growing for sure i like it not just for the weed i will give you another example i fish as well and i dont eat fish i do it cos its calming as fuck being out on the river and seeing all the other animals etc that are around and where i stay theres plenty plus i throw back what i catch unless somebody i know specifically asks me for it different thing but same idea lol

The top dispensarys have curing bags for months at their facilities. Patience is a key factor for premium nuggets.
Dispensaries do this because they harvest most of their weed far too early because they are going for “peak” THC and quick turn over, which unfortunately in my experience doesn’t coincide with great weed.

i like to get stoned. Not high!

Some people cure , some people don't. From my experience with patience it's a world away from fresh stuff. The top dispensarys have cure bags - Hang up for 21 days until stems snap , then cure for 2 months plus - I've had this argument many times with people , curing weed makes it 5 x times better.The trichomes transition to a brown sandy colour from a translucent clear gel over time. Have you even cured for months ?

Ofcourse I have. I’ve still got white Siberian left from august harvest.

i am saying it makes good weed better.

It dinks in the bucket like glass if you wait long enough and has a balanced strong high . Every bit of crap weed will cure like ropey hay no matter what - I'm not having a go but we all have different requirements in everything with many facets and factors to apply individually.

Not even sure what this means.

Sounds like a euphemism for something else lol.

Yeah it cures like glass if you have enough patience for curing - If you have mids of fresh bud , curing it over a duration is way better than smoking it fresh after 20 days . This is why you see damp street weed dealers saying its dry - with patience and a balanced drying , curing it changes completely if you have selected a compact bud structure and not a ropey loose structure.

I think I understand what you mean. Just never heard the term.

The longest I’ve ever had anything curing was around 8months.

Ill be honest though once it’s dry enough to burn I begin sampling anyway.

i ain’t waiting months for my latest Harvest to be cured.

it will cure as I’m smoking what’s in my daily jar, I refill my jar once or twice a week.

Edit - I haven’t seen street dealer weed since pre 2009.

The stuff I am smoking now has been curing since November. It is so much better than the cheeky smoke I had off it when it first dried.

Very keen angler here, i also release 99.9% of wild fish and I'll only take stock fish for family or friends by request.
I'm a member of a syndicate water we rear our own fish in a 450 acre loch
_20211121_184426.JPG
There's only 20 boats with no anchoring so everyone gets lots of fishing and no one hoggs the good spots.
_20211121_183909.JPG
The above is purely for when the rivers are low and there's no sea trout or salmon fishing to be had that's my real passion.
A nights fishing with sea trout on the go is heavenly, there's something magical about it, i mean that in the real sense it's magic!
_20200904_005734.JPG
Leaving the river Spey 3.27am after a fantastic night at the sea trout.

One of the rivers i fish is only £15 a season for the 15 pound i get salmon and good brown trout with the occasional sea trout.

Great pictures!
I did a lot of fishing before I moved overseas.
Mainly Carp when I was younger until my old man got me off the lakes and into barbel. I
Fished for seatrout many years ago in Christchurch. I know of a few people that have had them in the Thames up as far as London!

I’m just stoned rambling haha.

Yes there's pike and perch in it, I've not applied myself towards the pike but they're there and next to no fishing pressure, it's a great trout water that's what most people are after.
_20211121_184019.JPG
The last time I was out lol.
I've a few others but nothing big, around 5lb is the biggest I've picked up but there's 20lb+ pike in it.

Critical + by dinafem. One of my all time favourite smokes.

grown this strain from seed every year at least a few times during each year. Such a shame that they’ve been caught up in all this fraud shizz in Spain with HSO etc.

This was a single plant 100% coco 8L pot with a. Auto feeding DIY system under a marshydro FCE3000 300w LED.

Think dinafems over bro on a side note mark that used to work for them now works for seedstockers he had a hell of a time the last year sounds like a horror story but he said there critical and critical fast are comparable to dinafems versions so maybe give theres a go as for a good bluekush idk who be best for that one i afraid cos everyone has a version it seems as always lol
