Yo, scroggy, when do you top the bud? As soon as the pod starts bolting? Or when it gets tall enough and starts to bend up and open?

i don't top....
i score, if that's what ya mean, pip. when crown on top of pod stands straight up, its ripe. i score it in the afternoon, and the next morning i scrape off the goodness. after i've got all my sap, i chop. i crush up pods, and chop up straw (the stalk) after drying them, and then i make teas. after that runs out.........i dream of next year......lol.

.i dream of next year......lol.

hehe sounds like someone needs an indoor veggie grow

no way man.............
all the dope in the World isn't enough for me. no.........i enjoy the Sultan's opium party (last year with 2 ladies), and then i hang up my pipe for another year. i love it too much to have it around all year. i'm a junkie

hehe , but that high must be sweet. i have a super addictive personality my self thats why i never did any thing harder than shrooms , and that wasn't too fun

i sure like it

neem-burned poppies....they'll be fine, LST'd Orange Kush, the potato tower filled up, the t'maters, the hops, and some of the missus' flowers.

nice luv the garden of weeden you got gong there

I thought if you pinched the budshoot, there would be two pods where one might be.

i've never heard that one, Pip, but it could be. mine get 2-4 pods each already. i may try one.

thanx, Ero. i don't draw a line between food and medicine out there.

Bump. Finally some sunshine. I bet those bitches are puttin on mad growth.

This has been rattling in my head since I saw it. Not sure why this rings my bell per se, or why I got fixated on it, but I wanted to say thanks for the wonderful thoughts it created while working outside yesterday for sure.

Though I should probably say I'm one of those people who tastes everything ... especially my plants. I know it was learned from watching my grandfather and his father do it with soil on farm/ranch land, etc. Still ... when I see a healthy plant, especially one that would be labeled medicine, I often dont see the difference.

Have to admit I dont always think of adding it to salads like I should. Doesn't blend as well as I'd like for sure. But I still nibble on them none-the-less.


Cheers and gratitude.

the sun has done my garden good Dan, for sure. bugs are a bitch so far.........mild winter.
and, sure thing,psari our species lived in gardens for 100,000 years before we ever picked up a plow. and we grew everything we needed in them.
