Bizzle's Own. It's good. (lemmy.world)

This is the best weed I've ever grown, hands down. Look at it, for crying out loud. I smoke 10 joints a day, my tolerance is outrageous, and I've got the giggles right now like I was 15 again. It's not even dry all the way, let alone cured, and it's amazing. It tastes good, it's not even harsh.

If you're on the fence about growing, do it. If you're on the fence about taking the party outside... DO IT. The sun is something like 1300W/m^2, and it's yours for free. You can just bring the sun home with you. Try getting 1300W/m^2 in your tent, you're going to be fighting heat for your whole cycle. Even you hydro guys should be getting in on this, maybe get a less shitty greenhouse than I did though.

All my compost comes out of my yard and kitchen, and I mostly water with rainwater. I grew this for basically seed cost. If you've been following my grow, you'll know that I didn't do everything right and I had some struggles. I learned a lot this year and I expect next year's harvest to be bigger and bolder.

I've also never trimmed this well, and I'm never doing it again. Don't say I never did anything for you.

Just beautiful. But I'm apprehensive about growing since it's illegal here. Just a few days ago I watched a local "Cops"-type show where they "busted" someone using a mini-swat type of deal for the egregious crime of self-medicating his chronic back pain. He didn't have any plants, but they found twelve plant pots with the stems, so he got charged with 12x production with intent to distribute.

Now, no one goes to actual jail for this, but his sentence will be something like 6 months probation + 12x 7k€ fine. That scares the absolute shit out of me, while a few dozen km to the north or east, it's legal or decriminalized. I hate living in the most ass-backwards country in Western Europe.

I wouldn't grow if it was illegal but fortunately in Illinois it is 😎 across the river in Iowa, you go to prison for flakes on your shirt it's insane

Good harvest, growmie, that was a wild ride. I'm happy it worked out for you. First Outdoor is magical, enjoy your free and hard earned weed!

Looks really good, how long was the total grow time? I think the advantage of growing inside is speed and control, but you're right, you can't beat sunshine when it comes to intensity, and more importantly, simplicity.

As to your tolerance levels, have you heard about our Lord and Savior, the Ball Vape? You can get wildly more efficient with your consumption if you're a heavy user. I easily cut down to less than half of what I was smoking while achieving the same effects. Granular temperature control also means you can tune your vaping experience to the moment; if you want couch lock, or a light feeling , whatever, it doesn't matter, it's only a spin of the dial away.

Cheers and thanks for sharing your grow!

I planted in January so they've been growing for like 8 months. They were originally going to be indoor plants, but I moved in February to a beautiful place on top of a bluff and suddenly had enough privacy to grow outside, so I figured why not. They flowered really early, then revegged. I've been smoking this all year but the previous stuff wasn't this good, real larfy. I don't think I got it in time and harvested partially revegged buds.

The cycle times in indoor are certainly a pro. I'm beholden to my growing season here, which sucks. This is the first time I haven't had at least one plant growing in probably 5 years. Next year I'm going to start inside in March and plant on 4/20, that way they should only flower once. Fun fact, that's also my wedding anniversary. Mrs Bizzle and I really bonded over our love of the herb and she loves farming with me (unless you work for the government, then I'm the only person that even looks at them).

I've tried a number of different methods, but ultimately I keep going back to joints or a hand pipe if I really need to slow down. I appreciate the vape scene but I hate having to charge stuff. I always have paper and a lighter.

That's good info. Coincidentally doing my first outdoor grow this year as well. I usually germinate three and keep two (indoor), but I decided to hang on to the third and just see how it does outside. My mistake was not putting it directly in the ground like you did. She's in a 15gal and still under-potted, meaning I have to hand feed with solution, which is absolutely not something I wanted to do when I popped it in a solo cup on a lark. Next year it's in the ground for sure, so done with pots for my pot.

Totally get what you're saying re: batteries. For what it's worth, most ball vapes are plug in. Best analogy I can give is they're basically electric bongs. If you ever get the chance to try one, don't hesitate, I am beyond confident it will blow your socks off! For lawn-chair portability, I grab the tinymight2, and for anywhere else portability, I also still grab the rolling papers. :)

Congrats bizzle! I hope to grow my own someday

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

O man. That looks so beautiful. I want to grow my own but it seems so daunting. Literally accidentally noccing up a bag of Uncle Bens seemed/was easier than this. Gonna look at your posts now to learn.

[–] bizzle 5 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Thank you 🙏

I'm also a trash tier shrooms farmer, if you can grow shrooms weed will be easy

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Oh me too. If you look at my post one of my most successful grows was the the little guy in a ziploc baggie 😂

[–] bizzle 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Holy shit dude that's a righteous grow 😂

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 months ago

It’s my proudest.

[–] Zahille7 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Damn, didn't realize General Sam was getting into growing

[–] bizzle 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I don't know who that is 😎 but I'm going to assume it's a compliment

[–] Zahille7 0 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Lol he's a YouTuber with a core group of buddies he games with, and one of them goes by Bizzlesnaff (Bizzle for short)

[–] bizzle 2 points 2 months ago

That's hilarious. There's a Christian rapper who goes by Bizzle, too, and he even holds the trademark. I almost want to get C&D'd, that would be hilarious
