The_Wanderer Cannabis seedlings

The_Wanderer 9 leaflets at 4th node.

The_Wanderer Salad show. Showing interest in side branching. Some males showing their sex 5 weeks after germination. Females started showing a few days later. Males and females seperated now.

The_Wanderer Starting flowering.

The_Wanderer Selected 2 very beautiful males and harvested the leaves from the other males to make bhang chai. This is their natural form. No pinching, no training.

The_Wanderer Seeds and trichomes are forming. Females starting to show their individuality.

The_Wanderer I put up a picture of the fertilizer I used throughout the grow from seedling to harvest. Its Neudorff Biotrissol Kräuter Dünger, used as directed from the label on the back. I got it from the local garden center. I have a dog, and its pet safe. If you are growing herbs, they like this fertilizer. They also have a bottle for houseplants, orchids, and some other stuff. Really nice quality without being overpriced. If they put a cannabis leaf on the bottle it would cost triple the amount I paid... at least. Sometimes I just rinse the plants. Any hidden dust or debris is washed away. I put some wood slats over the bathtub and use a shower wand to rinse the plants. Monsoon!

The_Wanderer Sad times fell. A loved one health has taken a turn for the worse. I am harvesting the light green, dark green, as well as the purple plants early in preperation. One of the traditional medical uses of this variety is to help ease the pain and loss of loved ones and was used in funeral ceremonies. That information was in the video along with supporting archeological evidence if you haven't watched it. To be prepared, harvesting some of the plants now (3- 4 weeks early) is necessary. The seeds are matured in these so there is no loss to these particular phenotypes. I'm leaving only one, which is the dark purple type (striped calyx) to fully mature. From here it will rapidly show its fall colors. The stem with senescence is the seeded branch. The senescence is a sign that nutrient delivery to the seed is completed. It it auspicious that the timing of these comes with the decline of a loved one. I am happy to have the right medicine available when needed.

The_Wanderer This week the remaining plant is quickly displaying the fall colors.

The_Wanderer No training, no pruning. You see the plant as it is. Left to mature the plant has almost no visible stem besides at the very base. It develops flowers along all the branches. The main cola is huge. I could have let this mature longer because it needed another week or 2 to gain size, but I needed the space and ended up harvesting this one early too. Sometimes this happens. I have so much to say on the harvest post, I will likely be adding and editing for a few weeks trying to capture the right words for this amazing experience with a true medical variety from antiquity.

The_Wanderer To grow the Balochistan cannabis is the most intimate and deeply personally affecting. The plants exude a strange energy, like they are somehow more sentient beings than just a plant. When I touch them I almost expect them to be warm. They just seem more alive, more vibrant in energy than other cannabis. These plants are a class of unique beautiful warriors. Great results using only a bottle of Neudorff Biotrissol Kräuter Dünger from the local garden center at Hellweg. Neudorff has always made good products for plants and I highly recommend it. You shouldn't be paying 2, 3 times more something marketed for cannabis. It's just another plant in the plant kingdom. I would assume that using this same Neudorff product on some commercial genetics intended for the mass market would not give similar results because those genetics tend to be weaker hybrids that require more nutrients, more water, and are easily overdosed, and are very sensitive. The Balochistan is a landrace that is rugged, a survivor of harsh desert climates and poorish soil that has sand and clay, and not much rainfall. It's like the wild wolf compared to poodles, pugs, collies, and labradors of the commercial cannabis. It costs less to grow this in nutrients and water, the pest and pathogen resistance is way better, the potency and yield is much better than what's widely available from the mass market seed suppliers. This is a more ecologically friendly choice. Quality begins with the seed... and so does saving money! Let's get back to mindful grows instead of hyped up mediocrity. The obvious difference and superiority has made it the most demanded genetics I have. I'll edit in some more dried bud photos information, smoke report later. It gets pretty deep from here. I dont have time now. So check back in a day or two.
