 I went to my guerilla garden last night to deliver a rainwater barrel that I hope to fill with winter rains. It was such a still night, with clear skies and a full Moon. Crashing around in the bushes on such a still night was not very subtle so I had to abort! I plan to return when we get a big storm, the wind and rain provides excellent cover. Looking forward to having my own garden one day...

 The problem with modern cannabis is the black market and the rec market. 

Growers are incentivised to select varieties for yeild and THC % at the expense of everything else. It has resulted in homogenous polyhybrids that have stupifying or anxiety-inducing effects. 

I choose cultivars that are either heirlooms or are true F1s. Because these plants have been deliberately selected for their resistance and effects, they typically have a more 'old school' taste and structure and a more pleasant and uplifting effect. Try some. 
 JADAM teaches the farmer to use low-cost inputs and to feed the soil. The classic Marijuana Botany has helped me to make selections and chuck pollen!

I used lots of LST and super-cropping to shape this squat plant. I would walk away on hot summers days with my fingers fragrant with sweet Blueberry. It turned grey and disolved in the first rains and humidity of September, rotting inside-out. This plant taught me that weak indoor genetics are a huge waste of time when growing outside. 
 Notsodog and Mean Gene discuss the perverse incentives of the highly regulated and tightly controlled rec market. Both hope for a a peer-to-peer revival in ganja. Bitcoin and Nostr can make it happen!

The red is for the shedding of the blood that set you free,
The gold stands for justice and equality,
The green is for abundance and fertility,
And the lion stands for sovereignity! 
 We went to watch Kabaka Pyramid & Damian Marley in Crystal Palace. Last of the bubble hash from 2020 harvest. https://image.nostr.build/043f810161f7a4deb30637a34c59b800a200a325dd223577970d8457fce5e103.jpg

Sungrown South African Sativa. Summer 2023. Cured at 62% in amber glass in my wine fridge. Clear and inspirational high, good for conversation and music. 
 Wet trim the big leaves at harvest and 5-7 days into the dry pluck off any larger leaves that haven't curled around the flowers. I like leafy buds though...
