That would be a dream come true. I have to put in my years here and maybe when the kids are grown I could sell this place for something smaller with more property. This house was my grandparents and we are just now paying it off a few decades and couple of refinances later! We have 6 bedrooms but the plot is tiny and the location is going downhill fast.

As far as the Diamond OG, the stuff lives up to the name. Fat rock hard frosty buds and great OG flavor.

The Holy Grail Kush is super lush dark green. Way happier than the one I ran indoors.

Got my barley growing strong for some SST's. My ultimate goal is to grow and make most everything I need for the grow here onsite. This and the clover cover crop are a small start to self sustainability. I need to get some comfrey root. Maybe plant some alfalfa too.

That is awesome Mama what are SSTs

Sprouted Seed Teas are basically sprouted and ground up barely seeds fed to the soil for enzymes. The enzymes fit perfectly around locked up nutrients in the soil and crush them into a usable form so the microbes in the soil can benefit from them. It gets more bang for your buck out of your soil and organic nutrients. My plants seem to be extra perky within hours of every application.

To make Seed Sprout Tea
1 . Rinse and soak 1/3 cup barley seeds in water for 8-10 hours.

2. Drain and discard water because the barley husks contain growth inhibitors. The barley shouldn't have started releasing her enzymes yet, so we won't lose any goodies by dumping the soak water.

3. Leave the seeds covered with wet hemp cloth or paper towel to sprout. Keep moist until their roots have grown as long as the seed itself; about a day or two. Warm temps are beneficial to sprouting and also to enzyme production.

4. Grind sprouted seeds with warm or room temp water in a blender until fully pulverized.

5. Add your blended seeds to 5 gallons of water.

This tea can be fed as often as you like, up until midway through flower. Then I recommend backing off and letting the ladies finish naturally.

Some people buy malted barley powder but studies show higher enzyme levels in freshly sprouted barley.

That is so effing cool...thanks for posting the recipe. Where do you buy barley seeds? Feed and grain store?

I used my Hudson fogger for the first time tonight. That thing blasts! I beat the shit out of a few plants before I learned how far back I needed to stand. But it's great for getting deep in plants and high up trees. I'm going to make a plan to use it every weekend, if not more. The pump sprayer just wasn't cutting it anymore now that they're getting bigger. The fogger is heavy but makes quick work of the garden. Tomorrow I'm going to hit the veggie garden and maybe the rest of the yard too.

I used pyrethrin again by the way. It was about the last of the bottle so I'll probably be using Azamax, neem, and spinosad for the next several sprays.

I'm glad you like it. I got them on Amazon. Just plain organic barley seeds. Not pre-malted or anything fancy. 2 row or 6 row variety is fine so don't let that throw you off. 6 row has more enzymes but it's more expensive and harder to find. The 2 row works just fine.

Thanks! The one I ran indoors to get a feel for the strain was very frosty and had a strong pungent taste. Almost like licking an armpit. Only in the ganja world could that ever be a good quality hahaha

bwahahaha....so true!

We've gotten 2 evenings in a row of much needed rain in my area. It's barely enough to wet the surface but we need anything we can get. I don't know if my lungs can handle another fire season like we have had the last few years.

yay rain on the leaves is SOOOO good
hope no fires for anyone this year too much smoke and danger !

I'm going to start light depping these 3 Spaceballs for a little early smoke. My last seasons harvest is running mighty slim. They should finish up around August when the rest of the girls just are starting to bud up.


Alien OG is my prize plant this year.


And Golden Gun is my other best girl.


They both have advantages. Alien is tougher but Golden Gun is bigger.

Wow Mama I'll happy if mine are that big at the end of July!

Thanks man. Im definitely happy with my start to the season so far. Stayin humble though because I know the rug can be pulled out from under me at any time. I've had seasons where they were 8 foot wide at this point, but Im coming off of two rough seasons. Between rippers, pests, and my dog eating starts, I'm lucky to have a garden at all, lmao!

What are you running?

I'm running Seawarp, Purple Pineberry, Swamp Skunk and White Grizzly. I have some Candaycane and Revolver autos flowering now for early bud. This is my best start to date (thanks to all the inspiration from RIU Outdoor) so I'm hoping the season goes well. But like you say there's so much that can happen between now and croptober.
