Look a little green so maybe a bit too much nitrogen until their roots spread more, but I don’t see anything alarming going on.

Running 10 Afghan Selections’ Sholgar and 5 of either The Real Seed Co.’s Kabul, my own backcross of Hawaiian Hashbud X (Hawaiian Hashbud X Balkhi), or repros of Balkhi or Waziri. Will pop April 1. Hoping the Sholgar keep to the stated size. Growing 15 footers this past year was certainly...

Small 400 watt supplemental light early and late, on a timer. The plants are getting around 15 hours a day of light. Just doing it for shits and giggles really.

Windowsill grow current status: 3 Waziri repros transplanted to 2 gallon grow bags, 1 Tirah doing OK and 1 screwed-up weirdo Tirah in the keg cups. The Waziri are a little bit stinky already.

Here’s my elaborate windowsill setup lol - on the left three Waziri seeds from the 2020 outdoor grow that were stored in the freezer. On the right three Tirah from this year’s grow. The Waziri all popped easily but it took seven Tirah seeds to get the three plants - the Tirah seeds hadn’t had...

Nice-looking bubble hash! Going to do a dry sift run next month out in the garage some chilly night in the teens or single digits with all the Tirah stuff that’s been hanging since harvest that I didn't jar for flower. Has to be somewhere around six pounds to run. Was gratified to receive a...

This past season I cracked on April 1. The days are already almost 12:45 long then and they sat on the windowsill in keg cups until I planted into the ground on May 15. I used a light occasionally on cloudy days to supplement the light they received but I didn’t extend the length of day...

What’s on your platter today? Just took all the random stuff that was kicking around from seed branches, broken branches and salvage from mold trimming, about a quarter pound worth I’d guess, and tossed it into the linen closet with the baby dehumidifier to get it ready for dry sift. Let the...

Depends, the South Asian ganja strains from places like Thailand, Laos and tropical India can take like 18 to 20 weeks in flowering, so not much chance of finishing them outdoors in the ground around here. My straggler is at least three weeks if not four behind the other seven girls, so seems...

Took down one at 1:00 a.m. Sat morning when it was 28 degrees out, now adorning the sunroom - Left the straggler, she looked like this yesterday morning - Didn’t faze her one bit, here she is again last night - Would like to get a couple more weeks out of her, weather willing!

Will see tonight how cold it gets, might be chopping one down after midnight but the other bitch has to tough it out.

In addition to the plants in the ground this summer, I ended up fostering plants for a friend - I’d given her the seeds to get started but her cats wouldn’t leave them alone and she didn’t have a good outdoor situation, so back they came. They ended up in 2 gallon bags so stayed small. Wound up...

Still at it with two plants. They came through the latest wind and rain on Saturday with no issues. They’ll stay up until there’s a hard frost or until they cough up more resin -

I won’t attempt the impossible, like strains that take 20 weeks to flower. Other than that I choose what interests me.

Didn’t put a huge amount of research into it. I’d grown their Balkhi and Waziri the year before and wanted to try a different regional varietal. The strain description said they had a narcotic effect and I like that at night. I’m a lightweight and three or four bong hits is all it takes, so I...

Still have three in the ground dealing with 70 mph winds. Went out last night and stuck a few more stakes into the ground when I saw which way the wind was whipping a couple of them. Woke up and found Tirah 3 snapped over with busted main stem - no worries really about that as I was 50-50 on...

Got the seeds from The Real Seed Co. Collected from Tirah Maidan (Valley), Pakistan, a tribal area about 30 miles SW of Khyber Pass - This region is along the 33rd parallel, which the cannabis eggheads view as some sort of demarcation line between what people typically call Sativas and...

The two big lessons I learned this year are a) big ol’ 15 foot hashplants can happen here, and when they do you might want them more than four feet apart, and b) the Tirah had zero caterpillars on them even when I was not as diligent with the B.t. as I should have been. I mean zero as in not at...

Tirah 1 came pretty darn close - and interestingly, she has the fattest colas by far out of the 8 female Tirah - Took two more Tirah down today as they were heading into senescence and the weather outlook this week isn’t favorable for the tired old girls. They have spotty rot here and there...

Welcome to Trim Jail! This is one Tirah hashplant that already had 5’ taken off the top. Spent two hours trimming and only got half of it done and I wasn’t even trimming it as flowers to go into jars, I’m trimming it hang for a couple of months in the attic and then dry sift it for hash. I need...
