Got a couple of girls in sacks this year due to the construction. Both are doing great and looking forward to harvest time even though I do dislike the pain staking task of trimming it all.
Whatcha got growing?

Our big Orange tree has the most green leaves on it we've ever had.
However, it never really budded this year and has the least amount of fruit growing we've ever had.
Bummer.

Pretty well. I harvested a zucchini, 3 beets, a yellow onion, 4 green onions, and 4 pounds of beans today. Lots of tomatoes, none red yet. They got a late start.😂
How is it you have just one zucchini? The last time I planted the stuff, my two car garage was filled with boxes of it.

OK, I'm exaggerating. But not much.

Pineapple cap is growing ok despite the heat.
This cap came from last seasons pineapple that was a Costa Rica pineapple from Albertsons.

Last plant took a couple years to produce.this looks to probably follow that time line as well.

It was the first one. Golden zucchini. By this time next week, I expect to have more than I need. Two plants of regular zukes and two plants of the golden. I'm likely going to pressure can the beans this afternoon. I have about 5 pounds from last weekend's harvest to add to yesterday's. I cut them all up yesterday in preparation. This year has been more of a building and learning process. Next year it will be on like Donkey Kong.

I feel stupid asking lol but as someone who’s only purchased. How do you know when they’re done? And then when you trim them, is the goal to cut the leaf as close to the stem?

Is the plant then completely toast after that?

The hairs turn colors most of the time a rusty color, and the tricombs turn milky and start to turn amber in color.

So I’m another clueless non-smoker, but I heard there’s two types of MJ, the downer and the upper. I don’t remember the street names.

Which ones are being harvested here?

FWIW………

I live in Florida. My barber got caught with an ounce. He has been pissing in a cup for the last 3 years. I think he got 10 days in jail too.

It’s on the ballot, so things will change after this election.

I must admit…….. Everytime I am boating in the ocean, I keep my eye out for some floating Square Grouper. Lol

I don’t smoke, just don’t like to smoke for whatever reason. An occasional edible/gummy, is really nice.

Indica =‘s InDaCouch. Meaning, it’s going to make you tired and a little sleepy.
Sativia=‘s A little more of a buzz.

Overall in my experience, you have to figure out what strain of weed makes you feel what you are looking for. In a similar way…how does Jack make you feel versus a shot of tequila or bourbon. Everyone is different but having a drink is not really any different than eating a gummy or partaking in a smoke.

Your results may vary.

Tomatoes are starting to ramp up.
What zone are you in?
My tomato plants told me to F off in August and aren’t changing their minds.

On the bright side the artichoke I cut back last month is showing signs (again) of the next chapter. Want to say it will be production 6 or 7 since we planted it some 3 ish years ago.

I don't partake, just never liked it much, I still try every once in awhile to make sure I don't like it.
The wake and bakers and all day partakers will disagree with you. (I try to tell people this all the time.)
If it is mind altering it isn't any better than drinking all day.

Ugh, it's a mind altering drug. I don't think it should be illegal but people want to act like it's no difference than taking aspirin when they wake up.

(So many feelings... sorry)

There used to be two varieties as Activated described.
Most are hybrids of both these days, and pure Indica.

Trying to find a pure strain sativa is difficult these days. Even most labeled as such, aren’t.


So what’s Kush?
Is a sativa.
And again, most I’ve seen is a hybrid of Kush and something else.

Sativa is a tall slender plant, and takes a few weeks longer to mature vs an indica and why they are crossed with an indica to shorten the grow time and increase the weight of production.
....money😉 at the expense of a pure strain product.

Yes. Lol. Me either. I've never smoked anything, vaped. Hooka, cigars, nothing. Honestly I've never done any drug at all either. Just some cold beers on the weekends. Most people think I'm full of it too.

"beer" is mind altering, with enough consumption there is no difference than smoking a joint. Why is that a "flex?"
Who cares? I have never played golf, why would it matter if people think I am full of it?

Again, I apologize for my post. I know better than to "drink and post".

It's not a flex at all.. We're not bragging... I'm not anti weed at all.. It's just matter of fact kind of info. Growing up I knew my Dad would kick my ass if I smoked Cigarettes or Pot, I guess that what started it and I just continued to live by that. I only mention it because it's a pretty rare factoid in my life.

Thanks for the explanation!

So I’m assuming edibles and gummy’s come in both Indica and Sativia varieties as well?

Our tomatoes said the same thong this year. Along with apples and pears. Grapes are doing great. Our pepper plants are doing ok. Carrots doing well. But yea are tomatoes, not so much🤷🏻‍♂️
