POGreen's Grow Log 2014

[POGreen]

Was out to the patch again to turn some soil over for a a couple of hours and I was noticting that there was insects/bugs and that sort of stuff around the weed/grass down below.
One of them came at me somewhere close to my right eye.
Didn't notice it at first but when I got home it was itching and I was scratching and this is how it looks now........
I can see and think it'll go over 'til tomorrow

Yes, protect your eyes! A bite on the face anyone can handle, but your eyes are needed! Great pic BTW!!! (By The Way)

 

[POGreen]

Who could imagine this happening when just turning the soil over ?
I was messin with them bugs , takin their feed away , that's what I have figured. Had some aloe vera on the eyelid and hope it makes it better overnight.
Thanks AZD !
New upload by imageshack , one could even resize pics before uploading it.
Great stuff

Seems like we will have a regime change ahead in Sweden where we have election today , from Republican rule to a Democratic govern for the next coming 4 years.
The Democrats will raise tax on tobacco by an overall 4 % , it will not affect hobby growers.
If the Republicans had won they would have raised the tax on snus by 22,2 %.
It's not final yet , about 1000 districts out of 5837 has been counted.

Seems like Rusticaleaves can cure yellow after all , small one's from Geurillagrow
Variety is the Ancient one

 

[POGreen]

Dang , I just sneezed a couple of times and the snus just flew right out on the floor.............
This one had been wellused ( 2 hours ) , so it went down into the trashcan , wiped the floor and thinkin I'll have a new one tomorrow.

Now that is interesting ... I've never seen that at all! Were they yellowing like that on the plant, or did you do anything different with the curing to make that happen?

 

[POGreen]

They was cured on the plant , close to the beach in sand + so called cowmanure ( I'd say peat ) .
One thing is for sure , I kind of did not water them too often , especially in the later part of the season.
Picked them up today and have a few more hangin on a wire in the ceiling since a while back and they are just the same + dry and yellow.

I learned something new today , earlier I wrote hunge and that's wrong , the correct spelling is hunch and I'll try to remember that

 

[squeezyjohn]

I bet you find that they are the strongest and tastiest leaves you have grown this year! That is RIPE!

In one year since I stopped buying cigs, the price on my old brand has gone up about $1.50 canadian making it about $9.00 a pack. We've got the know how, we've got the space, we got the seed....Grow em' good.

 

[chillardbee]

By the way Pogreen, you've inspired my next years grow with the way you added green into the soil. I think that is a winning idea.

 

[POGreen]

You make me glad saying that chillard , makes it a cyckle in a way , what we take out from the ground we give back to it.
If one uses some urea ( 10 % in waterbarrels) on top of that you must be in a good position for a good grow.

 

[POGreen]

A dramatic change of weather up in the most Northern parts of Sweden , it's not 5'' of snow , it is 5 centimeters or a bit more than 1 ''

An inch or a foot, I wouldn't want to see it!

Me neither really , but it could make a temporay change or look different for a while and make one look forward to next spring/summer in a way.
Last 2 years or more has had a very abrubt/sudden end of winter and going straight into summer with up to 20-25 C just like that.

 

[SmokesAhoy]

It's also nice to kill off the bugs for a time. When I start to get sick of mowing and bugs winter gets here. When I get sick of winter spring arrives. Seasons are a good thing.

 

[POGreen]

I must admit that I like seasons a whole lot , get fed up if it's the same all the time as it is now , being over 50 y o a.
Was a whole lot different when being younger , remember being in Thailand when I was not even 30 and could spend 8-12 h on the beach.......
Can't really figure out how it could be like that back then

 

[POGreen]

Just came back from a short little trip down very close to the beach where I had a 2 nd grow on the burleys on the way , seems like the close to frost degs got them pretty good........
Nothing to cry over , just had a batch come out of the oven last night so I'll manage.
When adding the potash carbonate I knead it in with my bare hands and that stuff ( snus ) felt really really good in my hands
