23 Fast Bruce

@Northern_Ent, No problem! There's always next year 😉

@MSNL_Seeds, thanks. Sorry I can’t do more this year, but I’ll be starting one of your Acapulco Gold Autos soon.

@Northern_Ent,Good morning, Woke up this morning to -2c, frost all over everything. I forgot to bring my little mystery plant in, it was pretty much frozen so I don't know of it will survive or not 😵 . Everything in the greenhouse survived with no issues, it was +5c in the greenhouse this morning . You can still go an hour south from Dryden before you hit the border at Fort Francis, International Falls. I don't go that way very often but I do go to Dryden now and then for supplies etc., my Wife and I take a ride on the Harleys and go for a burger at the chipstand once in awhile,(great burgers and reasonably priced) it's about a 2 hour round trip from where we live. Smok'em if you got'em!!!

@northernMike, summers here really are very good. I remember driving out to Ontario and seeing a rental truck in Dryden, near the 49th parallel, saying “we know the North” but it’s as far south as you can go in western Canada. I know winters in the shield are hardcore, it was just funny to be thinking how far south we were and then to see that. Cheers.

@Northern_Ent, I lived in Edmonton in 1986-87 when that big tornado went through, I still have the newspaper from that day packed away somewhere. I worked at an Italian restaurant called the San Remo as a dishwasher and prepper six days a week after school including Sundays. I still have a couple of cousins in Edmonton, but I haven't talked to them in over thirty years. Later!!

@Inganjawetrust, thanks, eh? Practice, practice, practice. Still learning which is always fun.

@Danger_Mouse, thanks very much. Those were tomato cages in 2023, but last year I used Scrog net which worked even better. Check out my Blueberry Pie F1 Fast from 2024 where I used five layers of Scrog net mostly just loosely placed on the plant as needed as it grew. Very easy and works great. Makes it easy to tuck in fan leaves and expose the growth tips to direct sun. The Scrog net seems to be a secret to big buds, and so is the far red light at dusk. As for watering, yes pretty much every morning, but compost teas seem to help minimize the amount of water needed daily. I also warm the water to 26 C which helps a lot on cold mornings. Cheers and good luck.

@Northern_Ent, Thanks for the reply 🙏🏻👊🏻👌🏻, I'll have a look later, I open blast mine to make shatter.

@yan402, I’ve made pressed hash from dried flowers in years past, but this is first year using fresh frozen. Will do cold curing this time (couple months in fridge) which is apparently known as piatella hash. See my Golosa diary for previous hash making.

@Northern_Ent,🙏🏻❤️ Are you doing traditional hash or something else?

@Lizard3d, hash washing in a small washing machine. You can find actual clothes washing machines, or branded ones for hash. Can likely find used as they’re not very useful for most people. Look up Frenchy Cannoli on YouTube for hashmaking dskills. Cheers.

@BudBoutique, thanks, eh? It’s been a longer than normal season but the last plants are coming down in the next few days. Snow is forecast for Monday (four days from now) and that will be another season done. Drilled a couple holes with the plan to take it down in 3 days.
