Starting The Short Rows

 The 2023 harvest is gaining speed. Harvested two SLH Auto, a Durban Poison Photo and a Peyote Gorilla Photo. Left to harvest; two SLH Auto and six LSD Auto.

As always there were things I could and will do better with the next crop but over all this has been a better year than last. You can't really tell from this photo but there are some very nice, tight colas on even the smallest plant.

The plants will hang until the buds test less than 12% moisture (a little over a week here in the desert). Once under 12% the buds will be trimmed and graded. Top shelf buds will go into "Grove Bags" for a month or more of curing and storage. The "popcorn" buds along with some trim will be "decarbed" and used to make tinctures and/or infusions. 

A couple of changes, or maybe a better word additions, to my means of consumption. I've added two additions for using dry flower, a Storz & Bickel desktop "Volcano" Hybrid vaporizer and a small "Firefly" battery powered vaporizer. The jury is still out on which is better a vaporizer or a bong. A vaporizer offers more taste and smoother "smoke" but from my short experience using, does not get you as "high" nor does the high last as long as a bong hit.

Not as "high" is not necessarily a bad thing it is just one of the differences nor is shorter time really a problem because you can just do more hits or what I like to do is use vapor with eatables. About the time the vap gives up the edible kicks in.

Bottom line vap, bong, eatable all work but it helps to know how to use each.

A Rare Treat
