Aloha from the BI. It looks as if you did not bother with stealth shipping, I've never ordered seeds before, any advice appreciated.

On the contrary, only order with stealth shipping (reship guarantee). Also select to have the original packaging retained (upon shipper's discretion, I believe).
-Landrace strains are much less expensive than designer strains (which are made from mixing landrace strains).
-Read two blog articles at:
http://blog.seedsman.com/the-origins-of-white-widow-marijuana-strain/
AND
http://blog.seedsman.com/the-origins-of-blueberry-cannabis-strain/
-Do know what autoflower, feminized, and regular seeds are and how they differ.
Do know the differences between sativa, haze, kush, indica..especially in matters such as flowering period growth periods....
Get seeds from somwhere in euro AFTER you know who are: DJ Short, Shantibaba, Neville, Arjan and others (Strain claims that are junk never stop).
If you get seeds from/or on the mainland only Rare Dankness (instagram).
There ya go cuz, thats advice for you.

Aloha from BI.
What side are you?
Where is the location of the attached picture?

To funny he used to live in El cajon california. That's where I had my 1st garden out here. He told me all the good to eat spots.

Ha ha ha- first real geen ever pulled was South Spring Valley -below the sweetwater damn past the swap meet. Big diamondbacks in there. Plenty.

Frisian Duck #1 coming out as expected. Feminized. Babies on board: X White Widow, X Tahoe Kush and soon to be delicately paintbrush dusted with the erstwhile unknown "5fingeredman" 5 weeks more. Makin seeds, not smoke. Then all duck traits will be bred back together.

Getting a little frosty round here. S-kona is the best of the bunch so far.
Babies on board. X White Widow

Thanks for the response, and the follow up. I would like both if I had a like button. I was looking at autoflowering seeds, but I like the concept of being able to leave out a sativa, though that is one long growing season. I realized I have been having plants veg for for or five months lately, trying to get them to a decent size before putting them out to flower. I run them under a KIND LED all night long, but I think I will break that up after your sage advice on periodicity and exterior lights.

Giving auto seeds a try right now.
Sweet Seeds: Devil Auto Cream, Black Jack Auto, and Sweet Trainwreck auto.
One Autonight Queen by Dutch Passion
And one Fantasmo Express by Mephisto Genetics. Gonna make more seeds.

If you order from a domestic seedbank you dont have to worry about stealth, as they will never pass through a US Customs checkpoint. You also dont have to worry about a longer journey in extreme weather conditions/x-rays/etc. when a package has to come from Europe.
I personally would never order from a european seedbank ever again and there are better breeders coming out of the US these days anyway. You are guaranteed a safer and fresher transaction by shopping inside the US.

Experimented with making canna gummies. Started with 7 grams of bubble hash, decarbed and made into tincture because I didnt really know how I was going to use it at the time.
Evaporated the alcohol off prior to adding to gelatin and mixed in a little sunflower lecithin to help emulsify.
They are potent but taste a little spicy on the throat when going down from the hash, I can see how cinnamon would pair well to mask the flavor.
1 bear should do the trick for someone new to edibles, over 3 bears starts to feel pretty narcotic but I need a few test subjects to corroborate my findings.
Next batch I will just do coconut oil or glycerin infusion, so I end up with a more homogenous mixture.

Yessir. I liked the cinnamon flavor. I tried making some Lemon flavored gummies using glycerin tincture as an emulsifier..didn't emulsify like I wanted too some were too potent, others not enough. Does not hold well at room temp either. I think coconut oil and glycerin become liquid at such a low temp that lecithin is ideal from my experience. Those came out nice, what makes you want to change it up? Good job. Trick or treat lol

Mostly because a little bit of hash gets stuck to your teeth when you chew these. The glycerin is supposed to yield a very flavorful extraction as well. I dont think mine would hold up at room temp either without adding preservatives. I did see a gummy drying technique on an IC thread that i'm going to try out and hopefully get things more shelf stable. but just keeping them uncovered in the fridge for a few days have firmed them up a bunch.

You know most recipes use RSO, THC distillate, BHO...the solventless crowd beginning to use Rosin. I wonder if Rosin would emulsify better than bubble? When I tried to emulsify my RSO with glycerin, "oil spots" floated to the top of the gummies while setting. Some had plenny RSO, others not enough. Tincture is very convenient and I think that's why I never wandered too far down the gummy hole...fast acting, potent, and high yielding.

Taken daily, mason jar full of glycerin will keep you medicated for a very long time.

Hi Mo, hope all is well. Mahalo everyone, for keeping this thread alive.

Stay humble, live aloha, and plant more seeds!!!

I just got some gummies from a friend a couple weeks ago and they were stable and consistently potent. I can ask him how he does it if you guys want. I know he used an 1/8th of closed-loop system BHO reclaim in 35 (slightly larger than) silver dollar sized gummies. I don't know if bubble hash or rosin would work the same as BHO though. They've been great for pre-bedtime medicating.

Here's some quick pics before bed. My first greenhouse is pretty much done and the plants are really seeming to enjoy their new home.




A bunch of the plants have been praising the sun like this.


This is the Jamaican x Goji OG #1 pheno. It really looks like the Jamaican side is shining through in the structure.


Skywalker OG x Pipeline #1 pheno. Got some foxtails going on. I'm not sure if it's because of the warmth of the greenhouse or the lengthening daylight hours or a little bit of both, but either way, I enjoy the look of them


Dry bud shot of Skywalker OG x Pipeline #2 pheno. It's not dense, but it's potent and frosty


First run of Blue Dream Santa Cruz cut. It's great. Very likely my new favorite. I can see why it's so popular in Cali. I believe the tropical weather brings out the sativa characteristics more so than on the mainland so it's not super dense, but it's such good daytime smoke regardless.


Some SkyPipe #1 trim. I went to dump the trim out to go into the trim bag and it's so greasy it didn't even move, ha ha. It's the greasiest plant I've grown.


There's some new genetics in the lineup. I'll be flowering some Chemdawg and Jilly Bean pretty soon and I should have some Dream Beaver, Hazmat OG x Kirkwood OG, Purple Mayhem and Sour Power x Sweet White Grapefruit Krush ready to go come summer time.

I'm off for moe'moe'

Looking boola boola!

Some of your line-up sounds like the clones I frequently see for sale on a popular classified advertisements website LOL. Always wondered if they were legit or not.

Good eye braddah. There's a couple people taking donations for clones here. I got Blue Dream, Jilly Bean, Chemdawg, Banana Kush and GG#4 from one of them. I spent awhile talking to the person on the phone and they knew their stuff so I took the offer and if the Blue Dream is any indicator about the rest of them than I'm in for some good flowers in the near future, assuming they can handle some heat and humidity. They all would've been flowered sooner, but my buddy's billy goat topped them for me a bit, ha ha. Unfortunately the GG#4 didn't recover The Banana Kush also got some boring bug so it's getting chopped tomorrow probably (it's still vegging). I got clones off of it already so it's no big loss.

The Purple Mayhem I got from a local breeder. I don't know if he bred that one though. I know someone else named a strain Purple Mayhem, but I'm not sure if it's the same strain as the one I got. He showed me a flowering plant of the Purple Mayhem and it was a pretty dark purple and by his taste I doubt it's weak, but I'll find out in a few months. I picked up some seeds from him too that I think I'll wait until winter to crack. I got a ten pack each of Leda Uno x Maui Wowie, Island Sweet Skunk x Maui Wowie, Congo Haze and a strain he's been working on for a few years that he named Haikush #3. He lives in Haiku and apparently it's a kush variety, clever huh? He's got a Blood x Durban cross too I think that I'd be interested in getting. Blood weed used to be a staple strain here and I from what I've seen Durban is a good strain to make crosses with.

The Hazmat OG x Kirkwood OG and Sour Power x SWGK is from a grower in Australia that I converse with on icmag.

And the Dream Beaver is from Bodhi and from the reviews I've read it sounds like some killahz fo' shua.

What's your lineup looking like for long season?

Sounds like a nice lineup Rikdabrik. Yep Durban is a good donor in breeding projects....I got a bunch vegging now and still 2 to come down within the next 2 weeks

Pure Durban? Where'd you get it?
