First Harvest 2022 Grow

Image
 On December 10th, 2021 I potted the first plants of what will be the 2022 grow, Three White Window Photo, One Wedding Cake Photo, and one Gorilla Cookie Auto. Only later did I realize that four of the plants were Photoperiod.  Because we spend the hot months on the Oregon Coast I'm usually under time constants and when I don't screw the pooch and fuck up most of my short grows will be Autoflower genetics. I give up some production for faster maturing plants. I really did screw up this year because we spent seven months in Oregon instead of the normal four and I potted four Photoperiod plants. I may end up having to harvest the photoperiod plants early or leave them for a friend to harvest. It will be down to the wire. The Gorilla Cookie Auto plant got "stressed" and went into early (even for an Auto plant) flower. By harvest on 02/16/2022 the plant was small and only yielded 54g of flower. Not much yield but it made 200/~5mg oil infusion gummies,  200/~10mg tincture

AZ Cannabis Law

 AZ allows six growing plants per adult in a household. My 2022 grow currently has twelve plants in the flower stage, six for me and six for MsBubba.  Our main grow tent is 4'X4' with an overflow 2'X4' tent. The lights are LED, two 300 watt Platinum brand and two 100 watt Vivosun lamps. The Platinum lights are in the 4'X4' tent and the Vivosun's are in the 2'X4'overflow tent. The main tent just before moving four of the plants to the overflow tent:   Included in this grow are three WhiteWindow photo, one WeddingCake photo, three JackHerer auto, two SeedmanLemon  auto, and three OGKush auto,  Because the WhiteWindow and WeddingCake are photo-period plants the main tent is on a 12/12 hour light/dark schedule. The overflow tent has all auto plants so it is on a 18/6 light/dark schedule.  My best guess is the Seedman Lemon will be ready to harvest the first week of April, followed by the three OG Kush and Jack Herer near the first of May.

First Harvest of 2022 Grow

Image
The initial five plant 2022 grow was potted on 12/10/2021. Because we were booked to visit the kids in Houston over the holidays I had to rely on friends to care for the plants during early vegetation. Early vegetation is critical for plant size and production. The plants did well until just before we returned to Tucson on 01/10/2022. They got a little dry at the end and the Gorilla Cookies plant was "stressed" enough to go to early flower. Because of that early "flower" it is ready to harvest much before the other plants. The other four plants, three White Window and one Wedding Cake, entered flowering on 02/10/2022 and should be ready to harvest last of March early April. While they are a little small, I expect when they are ready for harvest the amount of flower will be close to normal for indoor grown autoflower Cannabis. In spite of the plant being small when all is harvested and dried there should be over 30g of flower.  If you "click 'em

First Post

I spent most of the late 60's and early 70's at the University of Houston's school of Economics. It was a life changing time for this dumb old West Texas farm boy, one that I still live. I went from a Goldwater Republican to somewhere left of Bernie. In the process I was introduced to weed, reintroduced to my family's progressive roots and became, at least to my mind, a much better person. I expect I'm one of the few old hippies that still keeps the faith.  With Reagan and the war on drugs, drug testing was established for many occupations such as flying for hire. That ended my use of marijuana, not a big deal, beer and whisky work almost as well but without the health benefits. With booze, as long as you stopped drinking eight or so hours before the next flight you could pass any of the drug tests. You might be "hung over" and suffering the after effects but you were "legal". Pissing in a bottle became part of the pilots life but ev
