A World On A String

[THE PABLOS]

Yo,P

Looking stellar as always.
Been going over your PetProject thread for the last couple of days. Lovin' it. Really nice to have your experiments with the blues available for my perusal and to see the roots of the perpetual pathway. I'm getting a real hard-on for my two week old tfluxes.

Ass kissing aside, happened upon a pic of a mutilated stem,I know you've been doing that for a while...always been interested in the whole girdling thing especially for sativas. It seems proper. Consider implementing it on the CJs and the tfluxes. I might just do it to a girl or two for kicks,maybe go all out and actually drive a toothpick through the base of a stem or two...
What are your thoughts on the practice? Do ya still do it? Any differences in finish time/aroma/resin?

I couldn't tell any differences. I stopped doing it....just in case I trip out and decide to reveg anything. I did the girdle for a couple yrs I think....more a ritual than any added stresses on the plants.

Doesn't hurt to try it though....I used to enjoy putting the cuts in.

I really like that Pet Projects thread....does show where a lot of my foundations are coming from. The TFlux stuff....has a lot of potential...you can easily find the Flo mom in there. She will show the crinkles at seedling stage. If you have the TFlux Highland blend...there will be some aggressive Florals amongst the population and some will come out of crinkles. The Highland dominants will have strong branches, large fan leaves, and will be the more vigorous. Almost all will show Blue coloring.

Cool. I'm probably gonna try it for my self.Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence I enjoy cutting,shaping,binding my plants,so at least I'll have some fun. Yeah,dude,I dig that thread to bits. It's like the raw,unpolished first record, whereas the pathway is the more like a good second album. More refined,clearer,higher budget.
I've already spotted some favorites in the tfluxes and accidentals. Got some stretchy crinkles in the flux,which always piques my interest,as my flo also had minor crinkling in veg. I started some tflux highs in late january,but they got toasted in a nute fuckup. Kind of wussed out and went for just pure tflux instead,the F2. The highland kind of scares me tbh... But they will get popped as I get more comfortable with coco and the new vert setup.
My favorite acc. is pretty mutated,twisted malformed leaves,mild varigation on the leaves,the whole kaboodle. But it still eats and grows as well as the others. Stout little thing,has character. Boy or girl it's gonna get put to work. Actually hope its a boy, tflux x acc and casey x acc sounds grand to me. The caseys are pretty uniform as of yet. Good healthy sativas. I'll get some pixels when they're transplanted and moved into the flowering tent. Ramble ramble...hawaii x skunk does that to me...

...solid quarterbacking is about '4th and forever' becoming an ordinary down. Split the zone...find the seam...deliver the throw to your primary...in stride...straight up their gut...center of the field all the way to the House

Using tweezers: remove the bananas from a "false male"...collect those sacks when they are close to bursting....using the thumb and index finger (elevated apes) friction rub the pollen overtop a flower of your selected primary receiver. Certainly no miracle....but it is a saving grace for the I-HOP Highend

So the case can now be made....by some selfing (though remember the selfing pollen came from a different plant) on one branch....and the pollinations being made with the "Salvation Male" on a separate branch...she basically...double pollinated the progression...even if...and thankfully as always...into multiple directions. None that can be proven....but in itself...is a beautiful thing.

With the unexpected design of what I'm calling the "Salvation Cross" I'm free spinning the selections/pollinations with these I-HOP Highend females....and must say...this is probably the best work I've done to this point. Every female is beautiful and totally out of hand.

*Not knowing every genetic curve in the road....I think....forces a gardener to become more observant to plant expression. Throwing in blended pollinations....blended pollens...self pollens....IMO...elevates the game. I'm not deliberately preserving....I'm not backcrossing...not doing much to isolate traits (come on!!...within the confines of a small population..please)...stabilize... nothing should ever breed true.

I keep only the best...keep only their seed....all others mean nothing to me. Exist in only the best...

Myself, I need to try and maintain some order, just my nature. I'm a capricorn, I can be anal. I write stuff down daily, hi/lo temps, it means nothing in the overall picture, just keeps me on task.
It's a conceit, but I'm just trying to use my illusions.
Growing out this A11-GPC, not my own Apollo origin, shows me what a limited playing field I have, but I'll forge on.

Sure I can understand the benefits of documentations...and...if I ever lose this thread....I lose all the recordings. There is no way I can remember all the expressions or what I did with them breeding wise.

Knowing this....is bringing on a change in the threading itself. As things become less important to accuracy...as they become more vague...I'm proving to myself that it doesn't bother me. It's an act of foregoing compulsiveness. I thought I was compulsive in nature...but now find that to be untrue. My garden discipline...and the parallel discipline of trail running has taught me the differences between being driven vs being compulsive.

I'm not being flippant to the processes that have brought me this far along....but the shit does get pretty routine..if I don't perpetually change my canopy and view points...adjust my breeding curriculums. Pushing my runs.

* For the record....I renounce the intake of dairy in my diet. Starting this day. A progression made due to endless miles and time spent running the trails. My Cannabis garden and the running have both reached new plateaus...together...at the same time. I am seeing things from places I was not able to before. This is the only way I know my goals are being reached. Very pleased. The more I lay back....the easier it comes. Keep the foundation core in order/strong...more things become doable...limitless.

My strength and honor speech

Why no dairy? What about eggs? Got any good bean recipes you'd like to share?

I have fixed my Fivefingers and am back at the running game.

The spring is upon us

I have fixed my Fivefingers and am back at the running game.

The spring is upon us

Even though we get fresh eggs here...many peeps I know raise chickens...I have stopped being motivated to eat them. When I go out to eat at a diner or whatnot...I'll eat eggs...but at home I pass.

I'm following what my body feels. I take many calories in via hydroponics...figuring 80% of the body is H2O...I make honey, apple cider vinegar, molasses water for running. Basically any energy gel/drink consist of minerals, sugars, and salts....you can make your own with what I mentioned.

Beyond...is a crock pot of pinto beans with garlic, cayenne pepper, and sea salt. Those beans are my foundation day in day out. All my garden veggies and fruits are harvested fresh (when the season is on) and often juiced.

I am not fancy...though both myself and my wife are good cooks. I can't spend endless amounts of time cooking...I need to eat and move just like most everybody else. Eat and move. Fruits, nuts, beans, veggies....and like I said...I take it hydroponically as much as possible. Even certain teas have good calories. I started drinking teas in lieu of coffee. I love coffee...but just felt better after dropping it from everyday use. Teas are mellow.



* One day I woke up and had no desire to drink alcohol. On another day I woke up and had no desire to eat meat. The other day while I was running...it came in my mind...that I no longer should eat dairy.

* I am a dairy addict

* I am a refined product addict...dairy and sugar being at the top

My pathway is away from consumerism...the reservation....the trough. I've been a glutton....and now see how dark a place that is. I stopped wanting to participate in...perpetuate this type of mentality. Wherever this system leads us...with whatever disinformation...with every false enemy...with every conflict fought....I will not be a participant (or more realistically...I will participate as little as my straw man lets me). It is totally insane....there is no enlightenment to be found in it. Just stop....but it will not. That is the horror.

There are many health/environmental/ethical reasons why... not to take in farmed animal proteins. Dairy is liquid meat. The same proteins are in there.

I think I'm becoming a hybrid hunter gatherer/agriculture type person. I have no problem with harvesting wild game and adding the wild harvested meat to my diet. I'm considering starting to hunt again. It is not beyond me to harvest a garden rabbit or a turkey...or a deer.

I AM NOT A CRUSADER. I don't tell peeps what to eat...I'm not smug...not accusing...not jumping up and down for a cause. I can't deny things I've experienced or educated myself on though.

I go almost strictly on gut feeling....and how my body feels. I do not pussy about when it comes to training. I need to be light and I need to be able to endure. Liquids and light whole foods....give me the fuel without additives/refinements. Pure foods.

 

[ClearBarbedFunk]

^^^no doubt bro, this past year started reading the Tao, and have given up milk(2gals a week) donuts and pretty much eat lots of fruit, salads and pistachios(beans when I'm broke,lol)

Feel great lost like 28lbs just with a change in diet. Light on my feet, and sex is even better as I cn go much longer

Fast every now and again just for a good flush.

I sometimes think there's some kind of conspiracy goin on, where the MAN promotes all the packaged foods, seems like want people dead before they retire and ride SS.

Anyway, IMO people need to get off the crap food and get back to the garden, heirlooms that still have all the beneficials we need.

I'll chill

[unclefishstick]

its amazing what giving up your car and being poor will do for your diet,processed food it pricey,a bag of rice not so much...i eat chicken,rice,and veggies in some variation 200 days a year,ride a bike 100 miles a week on average and haul 5-10 gallons of water home for the garden every single day....everytime i pick up that pack im reminded i lost about two five gallon water jugs of weight by giving up my car and being poor!

 

[THE PABLOS]

Your body will certainly flush out and begin to transform into....into more its intended design. I flush my body consistently/constantly via the taking in of fluids...especially water with apple cider vinegar and quality teas (wildcrafted or bought) with loads of honey in them. Because I run often...it has become my spin on yoga and a means to heavy flushing. I still consider flushing as a hydroponic way of feeding...so almost always put the honey/vinegar kind of stuff in.

* I've read where it is not good to heat honey...but I don't care...I like it in my teas. I suffer no problems from heating it.

* Honey in my running water bottles is a foundation. Honey gets me up and down mountains. I swear by my bees...you can treat your body with bee stings...read "Bees don't get Arthritis" and "Robbing the Bees"....very good stuff to know.

* Highly advise a google of Braggs apple cider vinegar regiments. That's how I started 2yrs ago. I don't agree with their religion stuff...but the Braggs do know their shit concerning their vinegar uses.

* I use white vinegar cut with water to condition my hair and to wash with. I have not used a commercial conditioner in a long time. Vinegar is amazing....google google

It makes sense to me: if you constantly flush your system...cancers/sicknesses will have less opportunity. If you combine these flushes with compatible PHs and without farmed animal proteins the body will adapt and thrive. You will lean down...that I promise.

The changes to the body/mentality after I gave up meat and alcohol (meat 1.5 yrs ago....alcohol almost 2yrs ago) were quite apparent within only a few months. I'm rarely tired...no longer aggravated by bullshit...never clogged up in the innards...sleep much much better...don't require much sleep....rarely ever ill...everything still works at age 46. My weight and body fat dropped quickly. I'm able to push as hard as I want.

What is most amazing about it all...concerning diet...is the change in thought processes. I think differently. I concern myself less with mindless rhetoric....mindless rhetoric that I've discovered makes up the majority of common conversations....crazy shit...regurgitated from their TVs....regurgitated from god knows where else. It's not interesting...it's not mostly true...it's disturbing and it's boring to me. All this static people must surround themselves with.

....no it is not easy. I love ice cream...I love pizza...I love chocolate milk....but I'm going in a different direction. I've been sold on these products all my life...by people who have had them sold to them all their lives. This modern world forces consumerism...forces the products. It forces convenience over health. Go to your local mall and tell me I'm wrong. Maybe..."forces" is too strong a word. We can still make choices...but..I would not say that most even want to anymore. Choice comes with discipline.

*******I'll post up some weed related shit here soon. I'm obviously way into my diet experiments...and somehow I do manage to tie it in to the Cannabis subject. Food is so much worshipped yet so much abused. We...westerners....tend to overlook some very blunt concepts.

Anyway...my garden is rocking....have some interesting stuff coming up for whomever may be interested.

 

[spiralofeyes]

Hey man,it's your thread,you're entitled to a good rant from time to time. I like these little annotations. I also agree with what you're saying. Your body and mind is yours,the only things you can ever truly own. Changing,cultivating,realizing the potential in them,convenience and convention be damned,is honorable. Much more so than trying to impose your own politics/ethics/neuroses on others to "better" them in your image. That way lies chapel perilous.

Here's some bullshit: Road Kill Skunk

Here's some bullshit: Road Kill Skunk

I'm one of those knobs that remembers the 80's lime green skunk buds that smelled like skunk.

I'm one of those knobs that worked with skunk plants searching for something along those lines...for absolutely no good reason. Probably influenced (like so many others) by fantasy memories and by common opinion that "Old Skool Skunk" was the best invention ever.

I'm NOT one of those knobs that ever felt skunk smelling plants were rare or extinct.

Case in point:

I'm flushing a couple Blind Willy Chemical Hazes....started flushing on day 50...they are now at day 52



Blind Willy Chemical Haze= Blind Willy Haze X Chem DDIX1

Blind Willy Haze= Wonder Haze X ELEbx1 x Chem Dbx2 IX1

These expressions are being dominated by the Chem genetics and like some Chem DD expressions I've grown....these plants smell very skunky....and honestly...flower wise...remind me of skunk buds from the 80's. Close enough for me...close enough...that I have no reason to seek out anything more skunky.

* I view the Chem lines as related to 80's skunk.

My dogs want to go outside....but when I let them out...they want to come back inside. People are the same way. You can never make them happy...if it is "gone" they want it...if it is "everywhere" they ignore it. People will kick and scream the whole way...just to point out to you...that they don't know how to be content and present in mind. They will never be satisfied.

Concerning these plants and this cross of mine: nice enough plants...many would be very happy with them...but for myself and most the folks that follow this thread....they are kind of boring to grow, nothing at all new, and predictable expressions. Surely the smoke will be decent-to-ripping....the yield will be fair/good...I mean...they are passable plants for your average Smoe.

One thing I like about growing my own creations...is that I don't feel the need to pull my punches and be polite. I can call the game for what it is...without hurting anyone's feelings. This is one of the most important traits a Hack must have....the trait of no bullshit honesty with ones own work. If you are minus in this trait...breeding your own plants will become very hard. Smoke that joint...then look it in the mirror.

House Plant Experiment Progression

House Plant Experiment Progression

Late winter storm is about to erase the high system weather my house plant has been soaking in. She'll have to spend the next bunch of days indoor...by a glass window...supplemented by fluorescent lights. She will have her metabolism slowed down to a crawl...blindly wondering ...in dimness...what the hell has happened to her.



Coated in resin....her flowers leaner than full....less than full does not describe her aroma...however. Still a skunk funk berry.

* Her sisters...talking the I-HOP Highend indoor sisters are most outrageous. Some will be much bigger versions of this girl...others...I just don't know. Can I see the mom (SCreme'n Dawg aka Strawberry Dog)??? Sure. Can I see the Highend (pop side)??? Sure. Are my predictions accurate??? Unsure. Are the Salvation beans setting up??? Sure. Are the S1 beans setting up??? Sure. Are they interesting plants to cultivate??? Most surely.

** Is it still a S1 if I used self pollen from a different female on my donor sister (which did not self)? I'd imagine so.

 

[unclefishstick]

i believe thats actually referred to as "hella frost"....

 

[THE PABLOS]

An important trait????? Why...surely.

I'm making hash this weekend...going to have the weather for it. It will consist of only Bubba G and Hell Hound resin...which I will have to document. That's going to be some wacky stuff.

 

[unclefishstick]

i saved all my super silver haze trim and larf for a single strain hash run,that should be some wacky stuff..

 

[THE PABLOS]

Wacky be the way.

 

[unclefishstick]

first bowl of the night has me pretty wacked tonight...did i tell yah i got a tent? picked up a 4x4 tent and another 1000w ballast and another reflector,already got it filled and flipped,it can be my play area in the future,a good spot for breeding runs and a spot for seed plants so i can use the main garden to keep the lights on...

 

[THE PABLOS]

Nice man. I'm actually in the process of working my way to a shut down. Going to take a break. Have my work to a good place for a shut down. I'm on schedule.

All and all...feeling like I have a good grip on the concepts...and want to kick back and look at it what I've done from afar. Objectively look at what I think I've done.

 

[unclefishstick]

im jealous...summer is coming,i wish i was shutting down...
