Pot harvest
gSteph
The view from the other side of the room
Began cannabis harvesting today, got 45 colas of buds into drying room. After wet trimming, this year had an extra step, washing to get any ash from the fires out of the buds. 45 branches is a lot of trimming, I mostly trimmed, wife mostly washed; we were about 3 hours on task. I’d say we got ½ of first plant, only 1 and ½ to go. My fingers are tired, but that’s probably our year’s supply already.
Anyone else here grow their own? Are your girls getting ripe and ready? Had a good growing year (except for the ash), couple of plump six footers.

Well sometimes they get a little tender and sore to touch towards a certain time of the month.
And it looks like I was one of 4 people who down voted the original post in this thread.
Not that I care much, just curious.
I like growing pot, been growing my vegetables for 35 years, once it got legal, hell, why not? Oregon probably has the least expensive legal weed, but we still save $$$ growing our own.
Which makes my opinion on legality somewhat confusing. I am a Libertarian leaning Republican. I believe in a small and weak Federal government that never strays from the enumerated powers granted to it by the Constitution.
Therefore Federal drug laws ( which still apply to Oregon even though they aren’t being enforced ) seem illogical.
But even though I think that pot should be legal, I think that smoking it ( or vaporizing it, eating it, or brewing it as tea) is foolish. Physically, smoking is the worst method of consumption. Inhaling hot vapors from any vegan i’ve matter isn’t hard on the lungs.
But outside of the damage to the lungs, it does carry certain cognitive effects. The vast majority of the effects are short lived, but if you consume it regularly, does that really matter?
And what do they think about your paranoid delusions?
I bet they all think that you are a liable loser, don’t they?
It’s not like I am naive about pot. I used to be a daily smoker too. While it is easier to be functional while smoking pot than it is to be functional while abusing other drugs (including alcohol), when you are stoned, you are operating under diminished capacity.
Life is perfectly fine with a clear mind.
That aside......
I smoke every day and have no problem functioning
It relieves stress
Do you have a job?
How far did you go in school?
You mentioned earlier in this thread that you want to get into the legal weed business in one to two years - what's the path that will take you there?
You are showing the forum the delusions of a dog fucker.
As far as starting your own grow operations lol
I don’t grow, but I am also not frequent enough that I probably wouldn’t. I still haven’t hit up any dispensaries in Denver yet because I still have have some edibles left that I bought a year ago from Oregon. 😅
I remember the first time I tried a chocolate bar. I didn't feel anything within like an hour after taking the recommended dose so I ate the whole thing.
I greened out so bad.
But the next day felt extremely euphoric
I have a fondness for edibles though. If gSteph makes edibles on top of growing his own stash, I'd be all for trying them.
Not nearly as functional as you claim to be.
No answer on the education.
Did you drop out of high school? Or did you actually get a GED?
No answer on the job. From what I understand, being an imaginary pimp doesn’t pay very well.
No plan to get in the legal weed business in one to two years. Let me guess, that’s how long it will take at your present rate of savings to buy a single high pressure sodium bulb and you have an equally reliable buddy that you are counting on to buy the ballast.
You even thought of a name for the business - Dumbass Farms.
My experience comes down to trying a weed salad....just weed with ranch. Wouldn't recommend it lulz
Also, like you, I noticed a difference in mental acuity.
And let's face it here, it's not like IceyDogO is one of the worlds greatest geniuses. He could really use any increase in brainpower he gets - no matter how small.
I was given some seeds and just for fun decided to see if I could grow them in my sandy soil garden that I kept going year round. When they were big enough I moved them to the garden and planted them where it would be very difficult to be seen. The house and 5' cinder block wall blocked them from view except for one of the 4 sides of my lot. That side faced my neighbors house and the plants could be visible if you were up high enough to look over the wall.
The 5 plants grew well and when they were about 4' tall somebody climbed over the wall and pulled them out. I suspected that it was the teen agers that lived next door and had bed rooms on the second floor.
No I didn't report it to the police. :)
Eve: > If gSteph makes edibles ...
Yeah, that's our main way now. When covid started, we decided to mostly park the vaporizer. For my last 3-4 years of work, I'd usually eat my 1/2 browny about 3pm so buzz would start by 4:20 on the way home. These days we've simplified the recipe, decarb the pot, fine grind it with a coffe grinder, and fill a OO capsule.
Hey, time for one now.
