Happy Earth Day! Today's the 50th Anniversary. First we had Bicycle Day (4-19 the date LSD was discovered), then 420, today's Earth Day, then tmw is Nitrogen Day! What a week.
I harvested this bodhi
OGKB x Strawberry Milk tester yesterday at day 70 from flip.

She got flipped when she was tiny, not even a foot tall and about a month old. As a result, she's not huge, but she's thick.

She retains those strong citrus and soup smells - she was the most overpowering smell in the tent this run.

While she was the only female I got, she smells lovely and turned out great so far.

All the males had the same smell of citrus and ramen, some more ramen, some more citrus.

Hopefully a few of the F2 took. I guess we'll see in a few weeks.

I'll be back in a couple weeks with some dried shots, then a smoke report as always after she's had some time in jars.
Since it's Earth Day, perhaps it's a good time to reflect on how we're treating mother earth and each other. One thing that strikes me is how we speak about things and go about things in our canna pursuits. Shouldn't we treat the women among us with at least as much respect and kindness as we treat the ladies in our gardens? Prolly more.
I'm not here to lecture anyone, but I would ask that each of us be more thoughtful about how we speak to and about women, cannabis, and mother earth. They aren't objects to be exploited and used.
Men speaking coarsely about women is one reason there's only a scant few around. I mention it because this male-dominated hobby/industry is very sexist and misogynistic. I don't see it often in this thread, but sometimes the aggressive, competitive, and exploitative side comes out. And it's super weird/sad because gardening fosters and focuses our feminine side. Bodhi talks about this in his Pot Casts.
We can share without bragging, agree to disagree without fighting, speak to and about each other without disrespecting, and cooperate without competing.
So, in celebration of our green garden planet - the spaceship bearing us all thru the cosmos - please consider how you speak about people and things, how you think about 'em, and how you treat 'em. We're all in this together, so let's be mindful of how our thoughts, words and actions impact others and the world around us. And please be kind and compassionate while doing it.
Thank you, mother nature.
