Have a few comments to reply to today:
First
SICC my friend J I owe you a recipe! Here it is below for you. Also re cabinet dimensions, it is: 12 deep x 33 tall x 33 wide. My pot size is 10circumference x 9 deep so I can just fit 3 of them in there max. With the pots in the lowest position I have just 18 of height between the top of the pot and the glass heat shield, thats what I have to work with and its just about enough.
Now that recipe for you: real quick and easy:
8oz self raising flour
Half teaspoon of salt (I leave this out)
1 teaspoon sugar
2oz good cannabutter*
3floz milk
Couple of teaspoons of water as required.
Lastly whatever chopped dried fruit etc you like! I use dried apricots, dates, walnuts, raisins, sultanas, plus a squeeze of lemon. Chop it all up fine.
Sift the flour and salt into a mixing bowl.
Stir in the sugar. Rub the cannabutter into the mixture until its like fine breadcrumbs.
Pour in the liquid and mix until a soft dough is formed.
Add the dried fruit etc and then knead gently for a few minutes until its well mixed in.
Pat the dough out until about ¾ inch thick then cut out 2 circles with a glass. Place on a well greased baking tray and brush with beaten egg or milk as you prefer (stops the tops burning). Pre heat oven until hot then bake for 10 to 15 minute until brown.
DONE!
Makes about 12 cannascones.

*Cannabutter.
SICC, I make mine the quick and simple way but others do it differently. For a guide I use a Q/ 7g of good bud to make 12 scones. I simply chop the bud very fine removing all of the stalk carefully. I then warm 2 OZ of butter (you need good high fat content butter for this!!) and mix in the fine bud, DONT LET IT BURN, keep it down very low, it will ruin the taste, just stir until the butter looks like its absorbed all of the bud then take it out of the pan and place it in a cup or something to cool down. Once cool put it in the fridge to set. DONE! Note I never strain my butter, just seems a terrible waste to me, so long as you remove all the stalk you wont even notice it apart from the taste and the effect! All the goodness of the bud goes right into the mix.
Thats about it, about .5gram per scone, nothing goes up in smoke, you get the full effect of that .5g
.I find about 45 minutes then you begin to feel it and from then it gradually creeps over you until within an hour and a half its at full impact! I find even ¾ hours later its still a strong stone. Seems a lot of bud to cook with but they work very well if you follow the recipe and make sure you dont strain the bud, they do taste skunky obviously, but I like that taste.
Its remarkable! Those look fire. Im in a grow joun tryin to help a kid grow in his dorm. Prob is, he has had his gemz sent 3x from Nirvana. To no avail. Almost givin up hope cause of his country. But cant back out now. Now erybody reads 25 pages of journal without a sprout! It is what it is. Im more interested in the strain. Mazar has been a hit here. My unc, got some beans a year ago. Fire! That and Durban are my faves. Cant grow cause of height restictions. Might have to try Maz again seenin her Indi tendancies! Thax for havin me! Good luck, smoke well..
Fditty: Mazari is a good strain, Im really liking what Im seeing here. I have 2 clones as a follow up so Im going to work with this strain for a while. Smell is lovely, very piney, kind of fruity and fresh. I have been growing Northern Lights all last summer but it lacked slightly on taste for me, lovely hit though.
Hey mature nice work there. Just came across this I am 14 days behind u in flower but do to money I only have FF tiger bloom 4 nutes. I notice at 24 days the buds look similar to mine not real dense yet what a difference 2 weeks makes I hope I come as close to yours as possible with half the lights lol. 3 42w and 1 26w 2 on top 2 on sides. I know more light more bud but u deal with what u have somtimes. Its nice to see mine are doing as well as yours on the same day of flowering. It gives me hope for my first. Can't wait to see your harvest.
Thanks
newbie J Glad your grow is progressing well, good luck. More light =more bud I think is only partially true, more veg time = maturity of the plant = more bud is definitely true! The more root you get down before flowering and the more branching, growing tops you get the more they will produce. What strain you growing, is it Mazar?
seedman's seed strains are good and cheap too!!!
Hi
brick, thanks for looking in here. Agree totally about Seedsdman strains, always good, 100% germ rate for me and vigorous growth. Nice to work with stable f2 genetics too. I dont even think about hermies with these feminised seeds, very solid and stable.
Finally (phew!!!) a pic of the clones below, Ive named them Delia and Fanny
These will be the follow up grow, about 3/4 weeks to grow them on a bit before flowering.
******************************************
No more pics of the plant for a couple of days so here is the
last plant to come out of my little cabinet, mostly smoked now but enough left to last until harvest/cure of the Mazar
Northern Lights by Nirvana, 3 week veg, 9 weeks 12/12, same set up
This is what I'm aiming for at 9 weeks
Thanks again to everyone following my humble thread
So I gotta see how this turns out. They look superb so far! Merry Xmas
Each to his or her own I say.
Been doing some research on my 'lucky charm' you see hanging in my box at left, It's an old London Metorpolitan police whistle that was issued to a family ancestor back in 1895 so its about 125 years old
