Grow Journal - Day 35 in Flower!

I am so happy with the progress of the plants. All new strains this time and we couldn't be more excited to see how they finish out. We have another month or so in flower, and then harvest time! Making oil out of most of the last harvest, so with this one, I may focus on replenishing my tincture. And I must say, SubCool has hit it out of the park with Cuvee'. It has the most beautiful buds I've ever seen..so soft and feminine..it's amazing! 

The pictures are a comparison between days 25 and 35. And now for the ladies:

All in all, I couldn't be more pleased with how the plants are growing. LED lighting is surely the wave of the future. But the price needs to come down, which it will. Or not. In any event, SubCool and MizJill from TGA Genetics Subcool Seeds need some praise here for their diligent and tireless efforts on behalf of patients. MizJill just lost a childhood friend to ALS. Brian's loss to the medical cannabis community will be felt by many. Below is a picture of Brian along with MizJill and some friends at a meet and greet at Mid Valley Patient Resource Center in Salem, Oregon. He was loved by many and will be missed so very much..Bless him as he returns home in peace and love.

Hempfest 2013 - Friday

Friday..
It's pretty cool that this is the first Hempfest where cannabis is legal. For everyone. I had this guy stop me who was selling a cannabis spray. He sounded like a used car salesman. I smiled, and told him I make my own. Lots of cannabis fairies in attendance. Seriously, and they're not all women. It's hilarious. Everyone is having such a good time. And it seems like there's more food vendors this year and everything smells so great! We had dinner at Anthony's and had great garlic roasted prawns. My green beans from the bean platform were better, but Anthony's were good. I'm just partial to mine. Plus they're growing up on a platform up in a tree. So there's that. (see prior blog posts for the bean tree)

Jerry (middle) meeting SubCool
and MizJill

We bought member tickets this year so we don't have to stand in line. I hate standing in line. Especially when it's hot. But then there is the requisite Ben and Jerry's booth. And yes, we were there. Very yummy. We listened to several bands and every one of them was great! Lots of reggae (I LOVE reggae) and there was a techno deal down at the end of the park which was really infectious. Everyone was really enjoying the music. Tomorrow we'll hang out at the Hemposium and listen to speakers. Jorge Cervantes will be there to participate in a growing panel discussion. Jerry met SubCool and MizJill today..I stayed with the blanket and food, but managed to take pictures anyway. We grow TGA Genetics strains and Jerry wanted to let SubCool know how much we appreciate all the research and work TGA does to help patients, me in particular. So it was a real treat for Jerry to meet them. If he gets to meet Jorge, his visit will be complete. Jorge wrote the medical grower's bible we all use and I really hope we meet him. I'll just have to be assertive. That shouldn't be a problem ;-) 

I'll post more tomorrow.. but just know, I'm feeling a little disappointed at not getting ANY Doritos from the Seattle PD ;-)
