Junk Yard Diaries 2019

What's up my Steemian's! Hope all is well with everyone on the block chain. I have been so stoked seeing the cannabis tag blow up here on Steem, special thanks to weedcash. I know I do not post as much as I used to, but I enjoy curating all the wonderful post coming out with the @canna-curate account. We beleive in the block chain, and most of all we believe in the power of the herb! Just FYI, if your posting cannabis related content, do not forget to include the cannabis tag along with the weedcash tag. If you are not using the cannabis tag, it's a good chance your content will get over looked.

Here is a sneak peak into my little outdoor grow. This is something I do when I have to many plants to keep indoors. Basically I have a hoarding problem, and this is the over flow area for my abundance of clones. Check out this post here where I explain my abundance issues.

Astro Beaver

As you can see I got some nice blooms. I threw some plants out a little over a month ago, and due to my apartment building, the lack of sunlight sends my plants into flower. But now the days are getting longer. Last year I had a plant go into veg mode, and it did very shitty. So to avoid the same issue this year, I will start to light deprive these flowering plants, by throwing them indoors at night. The Astro Beaver smells exactly like artificial water melon, think Jolly Ranchers. It would be a shame to not let her finish properly.

I do have to say the outdoor version of the AB smells so much better then the indoor version. I think it is due to my indoor grow being a little hotter then the temps we get here in Salinas, Ca. We have not experienced hot weather yet this year, there where a few days that got into the 80's. Usually the temp averages around 60-65 degrees. I live on the west side of the valley, and on the east side of the Salinas Valley is where all the greenhouses are being set up. This is because the ocean fog does not reach over there, there fore the sun shines brighter then where I live. Hopefully soon I will get to do a tour, and do a post to show you all the big things happening. Even though the small timers are the ones doing bigger and better things.

Peanut Butter Breath

I did just throw out some Peanut Butter Breaths. These are ones I decided I will no longer keep. I was glad to clear up space in my grow for my Blueberry Muffins.

If you notice that these PBB look a little funky, it's because of these cuttings where taken while I had a plant in flower. This technique is called Monster Cropping. Monster Cropping is cool, because it gives you a busier plant. I had fun experimenting, but I no longer will do this method as late in flower as I did these. This is because of taking to long to revert back into veg, and not being able to get good cuttings in time to keep my perpetual grow going.

I am still learning a lot about growing. But I am having fun. I think that is a important thing to remember while trying to grow the best cannabis. If it's not fun, then why do it? I know what really is not fun at all. Buying medicine from an unknown source. I use organic nutrients, and do not spray anything on my buds in flower. If I get mold, I just cut it out. I know so many growers, especially those big scale operations be spraying days before harvest. It is very sick. So folks, if you can't grow your own, try to get to know a grower, or just support a good friend that does. PEACE, and have a great and safe weekend.

Forever flowering
