OK, Dudes and Dudettes! I'm breaking out the T5's right now, the big ass seedling warming mat and getting my potting bench cleaned up. It's time for me. Got nice clones from my L.A. pal in the works with some interesting Canny Winners involved. He will grow them nice and big for me, I'll get 'em even bigger and do some babies for trade at our 420 fest. Can I say that on here? Can't wait for it all. The whole tamale. Maybe I'll bring tamales. I had a tamale biz for ten years and make the best ever...everyone who ever ate them told me so! Chile Relleno tamales would be great with PORK! Haha! Yeah? Later.... GG

Spring Gathering Cookbook Update
Have the cookbook draft in a format to print out for review, comment, and additions. Double the size of the current published books!
Can print and assemble hard copy cookbooks for anybody interested, or perhaps someone more tech savvy could make it easier to bind them up to send electronically? (hint hint).
PM me if you want to be on the review team and I'll send you a hard copy to get gooped up in the kitchen! cheers, mg

All jokes aside you've got me dying to be able to come out to this thing! def not a chance this year, but if I'd some how have a "break out" year and produce 10-15 lbs it wouldn't be out of the realm of possibilities!
*Here's to hoping this is a continued 4/20 tradition that I get to be a part of someday!*

Here's a little sub-set weird... Just returned from SEA where I made a special cross-town pain in the ass trip to pick up Blue Dream clones at a certain dispensary that carries TGA Subcool to see if they'd gotten Agent Orange in yet! Sadly, even tho they have TBA Subcool seeds, can't get Agent Orange, so I will break down and order by mail because the traits of those two strains seem too good not to grow them. Nowhere near the skills to hybridize the two....just hoped to smoke them in the same bowl!
(The clones are gorgeous, tho.)Really looking forward to meeting all you talented horticulturists on 4/20. It will be such an amazing learning adventure! cheers, mg

Can we get this idea percolating for the Spring Gathering?
Labeling!!!
How do the pros label things start to finish? Do the labels transfer when you pot up? Harvest? Cure? How do you manage from seed to jar?
Things unraveled for me during harvest...but clearly there's an established way of keeping track. I use popsicle sticks (friend who survived salivary cancer is an unending supply) for starting seeds and up to gallon pots, then duct tape on the containers during grow, and label in ground plants on the root feeding tube. But, I hit the wall trying to keep track once I chopped. Stapled paper around branches, they got lost, and we're smoking a lot of pot luck. I know those that donate to dispensaries have tried and true procedures and hope they'll share!
Thanks in advance! cheers, mg

I'm growing 3 strains this year.....
4-Medijuana's which finishes up the 1st half of September.
4-Mad Purps which finish up the first part of October.
4-Sr-71 Purple Kush which finishes up the middle of November.
Makes things easy to keep tract of that way.

I'm definitely smarter this year! Last year I was giddy at being legal to have 15 plants, and grew 15 strains. Never again. All the indicas ended up being labeled "Lavender". I was more organized as the sativas ripened. None could go to dispensary with reputable representation.
Oh yeah...that lesson, too....the never ending harvest.
I learned a lot last year

Trouble is, I'm a seed/clone addict..have 5 kinds of basil and 3 tomatoes strains chosen to grow this year already. So far for 2012 I have Super Sunk, Strawberry Diesel, Pure Cush, and Chem 4 already vegging as mothers, and just picked up Blue Dream clones to add to the "herd".
Do I need to be more ruthless about choosing strains? And then...there's the breeding aspect....which is where I'm heading. I need hints about the physical tools that make it easier!
