Re: hash, yeah if we were looking to make hash in a super dry fall climate in Central Asia we’d leave them up or at least leave sheaves of cut plants out until they got snowed upon, and wait to process them until mid-winter. But since we get way too much rain here, they would just turn to rotted...

Could be Waziri, it has the typically thinner colas and more airy branching. Here’s a couple pics of mine for comparison, the first one is the tallest and has stayed at 8 1/2 feet for the last month and the second one right at 8 feet for three weeks - Here are comparison pics of a Waziri...

Meet the Minister of State Security. Straight outta Stettbach, Deutschland. Three-time proven manstopper. She’s 13 now and arthritis and megaesophagus have slowed her quite a bit - but she’s still pretty quick, doesn’t take any shit from strange men, and the bite is still strong.

PVOG it’s all about B.t. one day, H2O2 the next: lather rinse repeat. Detailed daily inspection of every plant. Expect losses and manage them - you’ve got literally hundreds of bud sites on each plant, so losing one or two per day is acceptable. Worst two plants I ever had, I still managed to...

Trichs look like they are getting milky already. Definitely could be worse.

Rained hard here today, glad I staked them before the last storm. Getting a little rot here and there; nothing that isn’t manageable. Starting to look at trichomes through the jewelers loupe. The Sholgar are around 30-40% milky; thinking done in 2-3 weeks - Waziri Repros getting it done...

No, the sneaker hash technique has been around for a while, Frenchy Cannoli and other hash gurus covered it - I certainly didn’t invent it. It’s just a way of applying a little heat and pressure to form the hash from powdery dry sift into something solid without having to tie your hands up doing it.

A reminder of why we do this. Here is some of the fruit of my labors last year - a quarter ounce hunk of hash from last year’s Tirah crop. Dry-sifted in February in the cold in the middle of the night out in the garage, kept the kief in the freezer until this week, and made heel hash out of it...

Glad you didn’t have a lot of damage. No tropical storms or much by way of thunderstorms this summer during the drought had me complacent as well, which is why I was out frantically staking the heaviest branches and retying the main stems higher up a couple of mornings ago just ahead of the...

Monterey’s B.t. that we spray on our plants has nothing to do with Monsanto’s genetically engineered crop program.

I spray B.t. to kill the caterpillars that create the environment for botrytis to get going, and peroxide to kill the rot.

And we’re off - Spoke too soon, the annual botrytis plague has arrived pretty much on schedule. Found it on both Sholgar and Balkhi, no shock as those are the furthest along and have the most dense flowers and vegetation. Already sprayed them all with B.t. this morning, will let it do its...

Found a better dead bug carcass, looks like a flying ant to me

Just lifted branches on the plants with the most dense vegetation to look for rot, so far nothing. Glad to have the Red Baron helping to protect the plants - Anyone know what these little flying bugs are? They look like small flying ants or something and every year I find dead ones on the...

Your plants look very happy. I’d say you’re looking at another month or so before chop. Warfox has given you great advice about the need to make war on caterpillars. Drizzled most of yesterday and several downpours today, so I’ll be whacking my plants first thing in the morning with B.t.

Rain all day on the SouthCoast after drizzle most of the day yesterday. I guess I’ll find out how resistant the new strains are to the usual plagues.

The location description is incorrect, I actually reached out to the seed collector in the pic and he confirmed it’s from Aybak in Samangan province. Pretty wild to be communicating on IG with a 73 year old Afghan in a global pariah country!

Rustam Kush, it’s a landrace strain from northern Afghanistan - https://inoculatetheworld.com/product/rustam-kush/

I do it three times but two should be fine.
