Indoor GreenBean's Grows

[GreenBean]

Ya, I was one of the sad saps that jumped on a few of the Meph seed drops during Covid times.

Sheesh. That's pricey AF.

Beautiful plant brother!
You spread her out nice and wide… just about filled the whole tent with that one plant. Unfortunate that it all smells and tastes like incense.

Thanks. And yeah, she smells like incense. I'm not a fan of incense. I will try to grow her again down the line and see if I can do a better dry. Maybe that was something. Though my drying temps weren't that bad. On the positive side, it's 17 oz that can, at the least, go to the extractor and eds.

That sucks man with the incense but at least u got a good harvest. Mine smelled like straight up gas. Dank smell with fruity notes. I dried her for 10-11 days in a cold temp though. Hung the plant full, with a lot of leaves to slow dry. 18-19c

Thanks. It is what it is, I suppose. We all like different things. Maybe that plant might appeal to someone else. Just not in my wheelhouse. Can't complain too much. FB did send me them (and Cherry Cola) as free testers. Maybe what I got is some odd variation? Plant had a nice structure.

That is the beauty of edibles though, if you have something that you might think is - eh, you can just extract it.

I think you are really going to like Double Grape. It was one of my first grows (early last year) and she was very forgiving for a newbie.

When she finally got chopped, I had an over-flowing 5-gallon bucket to take to the drying area.

This may look like all larf, but it isn't. I like to cut my buds down and not leave them in nuggets.

Don't get me wrong, even now my bud nuggets are not all that impressive (yet).

Looks great!

Day 75. Right on pace it appears. 2 more weeks-ish. Starting to fade. Black Strap got a little foxtail going on though. Can’t win them all. Damn it.

I’ve lived all over the world too. Actually born in England, lived in Japan, 28 years in Texas. Been out here for 16. Same kind of story. Met my wife here and here I am.

AIr Force brat? I was a NASA brat for want of a better descriptor and was born…"halfway to England", so to speak. Only driving I did was on the left until I moved to the US and my first day on the road was in the Philadelphia. Trial by fire!
I did a couple of years in River Place in Austin, up near Lake Travis. That was wonderful. Should never have left.

28 years in TX. So you're a dual citizen! ;-)

I’ve learned one thing about life = doesn’t matter where you live. They will find a way to fuck you somehow. Usually financially. One place may have oppressive taxes. Another place has oppressive laws that nickel and dime you to death. It’s all the same. There’s no way to escape it.

That's a little strong for my thinking but I understand where you're coming from. I run a "one man shop" so I have very little interaction with the CA government. If you're dealing with any kind of chemicals, you must bump heads with them from time to time. That sucks.
A lot of it is just the nature of the beast - government is, at its core, not capable of meeting the need of the populace thus the need for small government for a society to function successfully over the long term. CA is an in depth lesson in how not to do it. I knew this place was screwed when the Choo Choo train passed.

We are likely here until my wife decides that she is ready to leave her career. I can do mine anywhere.

Due to climate here, I’ve found that aiming for 80F/60RH is most attainable.

Life changed for me around 2005 when high speed internet was available to the masses. After that, I haven't had to move for work (as a consultant).
SoCal climate is quite something but, from time to time, I do miss snow. But that feeling passes quickly.

I don’t do anything special to keep the pests outside. Aside from never bringing anything like my homemade compost in, keeping my fabric pots washed and stored in a bin in my shop. Likewise with my coco.

Hmm, gotta figure out why I keep getting them. It's been about 18 months now and my "back yard" is gravel, a few shrubs that total about 6' in length, and a large "pepper" tree.

Great looking plants.

I've got two Chemdog photos at day 22, one will be leaving the tent soon, and I need to read up on how you trained these plants. My thinking about trying an auto grow is that I can influence plant height better than I could with autos and I'll snarf some ideas from your grow about keeping more manageable. My last grow, Strawberry Pie autos, needed three lights to light the grow. It was nuts.

I WAS an Air Force brat. But I was born in Oxford, England - adopted. My adoptive mother and her side of the family were/all from Oxford as well. Natural parents both English. I was a US citizen by the time I was 5.

I have a one man shop as well. Hoping to change that soon.

My family, and about 98% of my friends are still in Texas. I spent time in San Antonio mostly, but also spent a few years in San Angelo. It has changed quite a bit there as well. It is what it is.

This current grow I didn't do much other than bend the plants over. Worked out since I was very busy. Also an experiment to find the line between - too hands on vs. too hands off. This grow was a little too hands off IMHO.
