Get lots of dispensary meds here, can be great! they can be pretty mediocre too. If you know the right people the goods are everywhere pap! I think the Glue will change things forever :) it is the new panacea!

So then like i said, some will be better than mine, but if you also see mediocre bud coming outta dispensaries, then they should definitely buy mine. Cause i wouldnt call my buds mediocre. I have the advantage of only having to worry about a relatively small amount of plants. Most dispensaries and suppliers of dispensaries, have a lot more plants to worry about. Artisinal Cannabis. Thats what im shooting for. There will always be a niche for fine cannabis. No matter what.

And i havent smoked/grown the glue yet. And im sure when i do, it'll be the best ive grown and smoked. But 'change things forever", i think your getting a little carried away. Maybe change things forever for you. But i dont see it changing the game forever. Sorry, not trying to have a pee party, just being a realist. When Skunk #1 'changed the game', it was a different time. In this day-n-age of super poly-hybrids, and multiple new strains being created daily; i dont really see one strain being capable of doing that anymore. So, its not a knock against the glue. Dont get me wrong, im 110% team Gorilla Glue, and i hope your right. And i guess it could be argued that OG kush 'changed' the game, and gorilla glue does seem to be the complete package (potency, smell, taste, yield, ease of growth, easy to trim), so then again, maybe you could be right.;)

i can tell you the glue has been a game changer for me,im far better off than i was even 6 months ago...

yea but my point was a game changer for an individual, and a GAME changer are different.

i didnt think he meant, "change things forever" for him. I thought he meant, "change things forever".

But i guess in a certain way he's absolutely right, it will change the game, by raising the bar.

Just depends on how ya look at it, i guess
 
Hey guys, no work here either. If those blokes in office are all out golfing at 130k /year each than what the hell right. I have a job it's just rocking it. HA and smoking vortex berry from the disp. And lemon skunk until harvest which could take weeks from now

Just hit the bike route yesterday must have been around 30 miles round trip a small segment of which is a steep hill. The bike is losing lots of air from the tires, but not due to puncture I think. Wheels need to be adjusted so the spokes are even, reflectors need to be attached, and several of the gears on the tiny gearshift are broken. Will probably need to replace the whole gearshift thing. But it doesn't really affect the ride too much beside when the chain pops off. I guess,

Hope ya don't mind me putting a bike update here
Hey, y'all don't know any one who grows cactus right. I have a quick question about a cactus that has issues. Bought it (one of those round green one with lotsa white fur) around five years ago and has been in the same terra cotta pot since. Has doubled in size or more, and probably root bound. Soil seemed really dry and the cactus wobbles around too much when I pick he pot up. So should I water first. Then dig it out and put it in a. New pot with more space for sand above the soil line...

Slow day here, sorry for posting so much. Pap I have one test... Hit something once, wait 5 min..... If you wanna hit again it's bunk, if 30 min to an hour go buy and you look at your piece and are like holy shit there's still green it passes....rooting great, growing great smelling and tasting great are all extras. GG passes with extra credit! :) .... For me ...old grail the Chem D, new grail GG#4, and she will ve held onto like I'm a knights Templar guarding the cup :)

You mean like hit it, smoke it? Cause theres no weed in the world that im not gonna need to hit more than once. I have a slightly high tolerance. Ive smoked heavy before i was injured. Unfortuantley nowadays, i smoke a zip or 2 a week to my head, easily. Not to mention, oil and bu9bble hash. But if gg4 satisfies me in one hit, ill throw all my other strains away too.( Except maybe one sativa, gotta have a sativa for the wakey) In reality, ill prolly elimanted 75% of my mothers becsuse of the glue, and im already sure it will be my best. Nothing i have is great, and even if it was, i dont know of too many strains in existence, that are the compllete package, like the gg4. Josey really seemed to have thrown together one bad ass broad:tiphat:
Anyways, yea.. And i really hope it does bring me relief from the first toke. Actually, i know it will. I just also know, I dont think there is any strain, that i wouldnt want to hit more than once.:smoke:

And silver- I know what you mean, a year ago, people were talking about cookies, like it was gonna move mountains. But i truly do believe cappy is right that the gg4 is different. The cookies are all about sacrifice. Yield for quality. There is no sacrificing with the glue. Except for sacrificing time spent kicking yourself, that you didnt have it sooner.

The test (for me) is all about the 5 min wait, .... I could put down twice the amt in the 5 min, but if I'm testing I wait and if I'm pain free and feeling relaxed and good , and able to forget that I was medicating (because I'm medicated) it's a win.... I'm a breakfast lunch and dinner smoker with a night time snack... I Try to stick to around a gram a day, or
Quarter a week, packing about 1/4 a gram in a standard pocket size spoon.... 4 times a day.......steady for the last 16 years or so.... Before that it was just for fun

I just finished up a run of UK Cheese x GSC. Still drying, we'll see how she smokes - but definitely ain't a yielder.

My own personal prized variety is Nightmare Diesel, a cross by a member here (or former member). As best I'm aware, it's in my hands, and a couple other members - not a lot of hype or exposure (fine by me!) ;)

Anyway, she's All That for me - heavy yielder, excellent smoke, .. The challenge is that she's best taken to 85 days. She's worth it (as evidenced by her continued presence in my spot), but I'll be damned if I said I was content to wait. :)

When're y'all takin' the #4? Seems like 60-65, from what I'm keeping up with, .. ?

up pot the cactus yes,i prefer small gravel on the soil surface myself,im going to guess you mean something like this?
if so,be careful,they look fuzzy but those tiny glochids are super irritating and can go airborn if disturbed,spray with water ahead of time to keep them in place and use something like newspaper to support the cactus while you move it...those little spines will ruin gloves...

alcohol tincture is easier to make,just takes time,taste awful,glycerin tincture you need to cook just right,its sweet tasting and can be flavored...

yup,theres no form of detox that sounds fun,or being sick like dan,neither is what you would call a good time...

speaking of systems cleanses...racked the bike up and cleaned her off after yesterdays adventure,got everything freshly lubed,put on a pair of aero bars to try out,went over everything to make sure it was tight,gave the spokes a little tightening after the gravel road pounding they took...i go through lube and chain cleaner like crazy...picked up a bottle of lube for the pack...got a nice little kit built up for trips up to say 100 miles without any camping stuff...well really i can carry enough for about 40-50 miles between the water bladder and water bottles,there space in the backpack for some food,camera,stash,a pipe,a small first aid kit and space blanket,rescue whistle,the mp3 player,toilet paper and wet wipes a jacket and spare bandanas...in the seat pack i have 2 inner tubes a pump,a multi tool,a small crescent wrench,some zip ties,a spoke wrench,a flashlight,and a small roll of gorilla tape...
should allow me to get in and out of the mountains easily...the real fun of this bike is if its even vaguely like a road i can get down it...lots of great combo rides to do here with road and dirt road or trail miles....and there are just tons and tones of 4 wheel drive roads all across the desert...all sorts of stuff to see...craters and gemstones,fossil hunting...nice little tucked away cafes...just hundreds of little mini adventures....from easy morning rides to all day grind fest and beyond....toys are fun...

Right back at ya boom !!! detoxing can't be any fun at all brother :comfort:


Cappy , it sounds like you found yourself a good pain reliver in the glue & for that ... yeah you should hang on to her . but it sounds like your helping others out too & GG might not be everyones taste !!! i have a couple people here that can't smoke it cuz shes such a lung buster ! the diesel does that to alot of peeps . oils & tinctures like your looking into would be good , but the point i'm trying to make is .... keepin only GG might not be such a good idea for some folks yer helping .
we all need different flavors or it get boring real quick !!!



evenin folks .... finally able to puff again :woohoo:
been a ruff couple days !!!!


the room is getting there , almost ready to set off the bombs . then i can start puttin it together :dance013:

Unc you got it set man , that's some good scenery, and you got everything you need.

Dans I've got 2people on my list other than that it's all for me! Ones older ex blank blank with late stage cancer, and other has hyperemisis... Ie can't hold anything down to the point of wasting.... I don't sell anything, they get the "you deserve to have" this treatment.... I m still gonna pop beans but I'll be looking for GG 4 thousand :).... Plus I've got some good buddies that keep the strange comin in that it's just not worth the space right now, to keep anything less than GG in my small room :),

Hyperemisis pt told me I better tell the GG heads that they are angels .... I gotta say that felt good, and that person sees just about as much quality herb as I do!
