Photo taken 1 week prior to today. Hmm fuzzy picture.

I have for quite some time now been wanting to actually do some documentation on my cannabis grow. I have kept somewhat of a record on paper of what I have seen and what causes these changes or why something appears one way or another etc.

Basically it's just a collection of notes from my mistakes and worries and what I could do the next time it may happen or actions to prevent it.

This was my 4th annual grow of cannabis and by far the lowest yield to date.

Out of 20 outdoor plants planted only 4 made it to be female and two of which, growths were severely stunted by the driest climate yet and produced very little amount of buds but still very potent. Maybe it was because of the shade from my huisache tree.

The following is what I have now. Had, because I just got done butchering it. But first some small things about cannabis prohibition.

We thank the 420 gods for letting us have what we can have either way.

I heard the term reefer madness when I was a kid. Being told that it was dangerous, I the stupid gullible child I once was, fell for all the propaganda given to me. That it damaged your brain by smoking it. Lies. That it makes you breathing worsen. Lies. That you will have memory loss. Lies, their just focused on other things. Leave them be and enjoy a reefer. Ah and that it will give thee "Reefer Madness"(Oldies Movie "reefer madness" included within link, Greek mythology, some history, astrology, gnosis, etc too.)

Just more lies.

There are Sources within sources

They could just leave us alone but for political reasons and fueled by the fear based hate of the "pay|try|idiot" sycophants, they went out to prove where the real violence was.

During the prohibition of alcohol, the faithful statist proved just how wrong they were by forcefully restricting the party drink. Leading to even "un-CONstitutional" activities but more correctly so, unethical incarcerations of thousands of people for mere possession of spirits.

The alcohol(all-ghoul(?) hmmm) Prohibition was market scam in progress for the criminals in power in high places could make extra profits. Why limit yourself to be only paid in extortion fees(taxes) when you can just control events and cause chaos and make loads of cash then? Power over others corrupts the good misguided fools after a while and it also attracts the Corruptors, the psychopaths, sociopaths, narcissists, pedophiles, basically evil in short. Pure Evil attracts the Evil ones and strings along the corruptible. This is what government is and does. It is an evil idea. A fictional deity with many many sycophantry and satan worshippers.

"Govern|ment"=Satan

The majority of weed smokers are not even violent themselves. As you seen in the movie above, they tried to make pot smokers look like the criminal type. But an objective look will let you see none of which is true. They can't even prove it scientifically makes you an insane member of society. But just the opposite in fact as they had to remove the use in the armies because soldiers who smoked it were less likely to fight in combat. Wonder why they did though? I thought it made you mad and violent, the recipe for a good soldier and cop.

We know better though.

As mad as that may make us, we put ourselves here. Wherever here might be for you it's our own doing. We decided to be given this life long before we were born into it. We came knowing that we would forget who we were. We didn't come here to be slaves. We have the real power in our hands.

A dreamtale special:

The start of a long monadic journey.

A staff was given to me once. The darkness swallowed all that was before me and around me. But I saw reflection of what was out there from my lantern. And behold. An angels hand, from the conjuring of our origin, the dark mist before I,tossed to me a staff to which I know, need to use to lean on. But when I went to grab it. It did something familiar. (Familiar because I have seen it done before. And it wasn't till I read a bit more on Terrance M. that I realize now what that was. The robot elves. The beautiful eggs. Explain something here? Those Chinese Jewel Eggs... Gasp! There's something to this)

Anyways...

Its geometry reconstructed it self and was now a book at the palm of my left hand. I turned to look at my right and it was empty. Just then another hand reached out to me.

It was a woman, riding a giant green dragon... I hopped on its tail, climbed to the back of the neck where we rode for a millennium and laughed the whole way. I don't recount the discussions made.

We landed in a town and soon as I got off I cut the head of the dragon off, and the once beautiful dame turned into a ghoul, where then I turned my double edged sword in front of her and she disappeared.

She must have had me in a spell, but dragons got to eat too and we stopped at a nice restaurant which was also a home. It was empty, but then a family came out. A wife and two kids. I put them to bed.

This was good. because I then barricaded everything in with the magic staff. Anything I desired came to be by my will in an instant. I took cover and took aim at the bell tower. Shooting there, 3 times with a sniper rifle I suddenly somehow acquired.

I then now was awakened. Snapped out of the dream state and here in this new again reality.

Why was I doing that at the end?

Growing Cannabis Day #1:

Cutting down the last tree and starting a new batch.

Sativa Strain. No name. Born from some good seeds given to me. The smell is very potent. Probably the strongest I ever had come from my yard.

Sorry my camera shots are not that HD but I do have a unique toy coming in about two weeks. A USB to any phone or PC, pocket camera with supposed 1000x zoom, capable of taking pictures and videos for approximately 35USD(650MXN). I hope shipping doesn't wreck my package again...

I don't have a measuring tape on hand. I have a few, just not at my home apparently. But I would say the top point is almost 2 inches in bud width. Not bad I guess.

I have already trimmed her popcorn buds before two weeks ago. Already down to the last few bits. Maybe 2 joints total. Thankfully I have a water pipe for that. Less wasteful.

I'm not going to hang them, because I live in such a dry climate, and it's o LY one and not that much. As you can see it fits in one glass oven containers. So I'm just going to just put this baby in a confined environment that is my kitchen dish cabinet. Glass lid and with part of the stem keeping some air flow to pass. Shut the door and wait for tomorrow and peek at it for a few seconds to see how it's doing. Keeping it in it's dark state is crucial.

The correct environment for drying cannabis is not in this manner. The correct drying humidity must be between 60-64°F, in complete darkness or special lighting for darkness simulation(very recommended I hear) and with slight air flow to prevent any form of mold.

As you know, a proper dry prevents ammonia buildup by the bacteria present in the buds. You can't help it. They play a role in the drying and curing process that's a bit too scientific for me to explain in detail so just dyor on it.

For curing containers I have glass mermelada jars. They work just fine but I will note that mason jars with bamboo lids or plugs, work best for curing. Something I can get at the smoke shop at the capital. I'll try to keep it in mind and stop by and purchase a couple in the future.

Well as I wrote in the title, this is day 1 of starting a new batch. What to do what to do what do.

Well... What do I have at hand? What route should I take?

I could just plant them directly in the ground and keep the place wet. Put a bucket over it to keep the ground moist as possible untill it sprouts. Then, Lay some very dry grass around the sprouts will keep some insects away.

I'm not sure about the ants though. They have been a pain the arse in my house the last 4 months and the raining season here is just getting started. So maybe they will chill out for a while now.

I could also use the stack of egg cartons for starting out. But.....

Forget it.

I've decided what to do for now.

The seeds have this coating around it and to soften that coating, were going to need to drown the babies for 24 hours. ~~That'll teach em.~~

No those aren't ticks. I keep those in a different jar drowning in Clorox. ~~that'll teach em~~

How many should we, all of them? Okay.

Filled to the rim.

Question are they supposed to float? Like eggs, are they bad if these seeds float?

I have much more seeds if I need to discard these. Let me know your thoughts on anything presented above. For now we wait and see. Tomorrow we scan the land for a place to plant.

Just realized my a couple garden tools are missing... My hoe, tiny shovel...What gives. GRRR

Thanks for tuning in.

Hasta mañana.
