Welcome home my friend! I trust you had a fine time with your cous',...beautiful pics too! Shoreline shots are fantastic, I love the landscape they make,... Did you do some cliff-diving?
--looks deep enough,..kinda,... Were you able to snag some fine-ass loot while there?
...about the Sativa's effects, I have friends who are just the same; I won't let them smoke anything I grow that's likely to give them harsh buzzes,... MoB tripped a few out too, and that's a fairly even hybrid I think-? All this makes me wonder,... it's not the THC, or CBD,... possibly one/some of the more uncommon cannabinoids, but many of those have been looked into well enough to determine they have little to no psychoactivity,.. so that leaves the terpenes and synergistic effects with each other and cannabinoids,... What's in many, but not all, Sativa-dom's that's behind this? (ditto for them and the body heavy nature of the buzz).... I know these Acapulco Golds and the Lambsbread (granted it's uncertain parentage and balance, but sati-dom for sure) carry zero blood-rushing jitters, and I've found not so much of that head-trip inward fazing that shit like Sour Diesel, Hazes (early pick particularly), and a few others have such tendencies for,... And there's always personal psychology and general sate of mind in play too,... In fact, this Skywalker x WW photo I grew can get racy/fast heart beat promoting if you smoke a few hits too many at once initially, before the velvet hammer flattens your head a bit later!
.... I've done many-a-cruise missile ride on 'shrooms! Not for years, but back in the day, it's was the most fun in a
non-social environment that you could have! Acid felt similar, but I liked 'shroom more,... besides, they grew right on campus, some literally next to the deli'-
... and around home too,... free rides baby!!
... I have zero worries about the bud quality FD! So much of this depends on the terp's too, but what with the fine selective parentage in them, only freak mishap would make a foul strain of it!
... Water! so badly underestimated in importance, so poorly understood chemically, in it's many roles for grwers especially,.... one of the many write-up I need to do here! It really is a most astonishing substance,...
... I need to dig deeper into ruderalis botany,... My thinking is that rudi's are usually found in harsh, short season climates, so the auto'ing is an adaptation to survive and reproduce ASAP... perhaps, the root restriction response (and other stressors) tied to bloom inducement is a separate thing, maybe more linked to such plants being annuals? it's an early warning/hurry-up cue..?
...
awesome! That F1 gal is showing the right stuff mate,.. again, the large trichomes, and great density of them even on the sugar leaves! ..looks a lot like some-
*ahem*- other girls you had recently- :smoking: ..how's her perfume? ... And Mama#2?
>>>
Stickmate! well, your friend in Poland had a fine idea then, and I hope to see what they look like! The PCK is still on the list for this season,.. I want something close to it's landrace origins, just to see what it's like again with fresh eyes; my first real grow several years back had a single bag seed from Pure Afghani, and it's was wonderful bud,.. not the most potent, but the unique floral aromatics and the smooth easy going body buzz was a joy at night!
Ahh yeah!
GPF1FV will not disappoint my friend! Have you not smoke it yet either? it's consistency is amazing, even across the auto-FV-photo spectrum,.. al reports are that the aromatics stay very close, as does the great potency,.. live plants will have you finger sniffing every time you walk by!
I get distinct kaffir lime and lychee aromas, which are more blended after cure, not as sharply defined as on live plants, but still there solidly! And she's fast as hell, every one of the FV's done in about 4 weeks and change, no kidding at all
... wish i had some, so i could send them to you,... I might be able to pinch a few out of another fan, who like your friends, has it in constant rotation,...
