^same , but for some strange reason I want to grow it. Pops always had a plant going growing up. Up in Inverness today I actually just showed my son and DIL how to germinate seed and how to use the chicken shit from their coop to fertilize the plants when they get about 12" high.
Told them I want a cut. Did you buy the property?

Considering it. It will be a second home with a modular on it to stay at a week or so a month. I really like the area, lots of great people, who say Hi and speak English. A whole lot of Trump flags and Lets go brandon flags flying. Boats, air boats and lakes everywhere. IF we do we will have the whole street locked up between my son, us and my sons FIL and one of their best friends. www.google.com/maps/place/E+South+Crossing+Ct,+Inverness+Highlands+South,+FL+34452/@28.7889216,-82.3493536,17z/data=!3m1!4b1!4m6!3m5!1s0x88e80d0223a7f3b7:0x5158b5de8ff92884!8m2!3d28.7889169!4d-82.3467787!16s%2Fg%2F1tkr02l5?entry=ttu It backs up to Dwayne's(son's FIL) best friends property on Muzzle loaders court. Citrus county is not real easy to deal with in that area as they have everything zoned at a quarter acre and want an impact fee (8K) for every 1/4 acre. it will take paying a real estate attorney $$$ to get it rezoned. Plus septic, sewer and land clearing (it's raw land now) We are going back up in a couple of weeks so we shall see.

Right next to East Muzzleloaders Ct. I'd say that's probably a safe location, lol.
Is the road paved?
p.s. I like Inverness too. We've looked at a few properties in the area.

Tobacco is a rarity ... gave it up regularly decades ago. Weed is another story entirely. Just rolled up an unknown Indica from a friends "nostalgia patch". ( A stubborn cuss, 115 on the VA disability scale, he refuses dispensaries. ) Exactly "what" it is ... remains an open question. Until the availability of inexpensive testing for home-grown, it will stay mysterious. A dozen starts will go in early next week, with several gallons of unused bud as fertilizer. ( An early freeze made last years crop 2nd rate, plus a dozen quart jars left from 22' ) Local ordinance allows 6 mature plants per adult ... Whats the yield on six plants , prime growing conditions? It all depends on the genes ... and the growing conditions. Indoors, in hydro, with CO2 supplementation, is a totally different ball game. The huge yield alone was what made "Blue Dream" a "thing" ... back then, almost anything would sell. Outdoors, think about those pumpkins you see every Fall, being hauled around with a fork-lift. Those are grown with drip irrigation, in large holes, filled with nutrients, and limited to One fruit. With weed, in most cases, there's an inverse ratio between size and strength. A few might be high yielders, and powerful, but lack strong stems and must be trellised. There's Always a trade-off. Commercial growers are looking for speed, and machine cleaning capability. I had a cross that yielded over two pounds outdoors a few years ago, with strong stems. But, it wasn't great ... somewhat ordinary except for the yield. I still have the seed batch it came from, but haven't been so inclined. Any yield calculation must account for weather, pests, soil pathogens, and in the Fall, bud rot. We're shooting for smaller plants this year ... less hassle to trim & pack away in jars. The main reason we do 12 is to have variety, and in case one strain punks out. That's the 2Lb. plus plant. A few pieces of green string were the only support.

That's indica isn't it? That's what I was told would help me out.

Still not smoking 5 or 6th week come Sunday. Seems like it should have eased off more by now. Takes 6 weeks +/- to create a new ‘habit’ Sounds like you’re doing well. Hang in there

Looks good Jerry, it's only an hour and fortynine minutes from my house. I bet you're shorter? When we had two houses it was a pain in the ass but a lot of that was the distance. I would think the upkeep on a modular would be easier? I do miss our home in Asheville though, but not the rest.

That's indica isn't it? That's what I was told would help me out. Like most of the "strains" passed around today, it's a poly-cross. No telling for certain without DNA analysis. The main reason Indica crosses are ubiquitous is the shortened ripening time. Northern latitudes didn't allow Mexican Sativa's to finish, so most home-grow was just leaf. When the Indica's arrived, the ball game changed ... outdoor bud was possible in Michigan! You can still find pure Indicas' though they seldom retain their characteristic shapes. Pot adapts very, very quickly ... it takes only three seasons at sea level for the morphology to change. The genes remain the same, but ... the Expression of the genes is altered. As a result, the types of cannabinoids produced are different. High altitude, nasty soil, and heavy UV, will revert to them back to original. If your'e seeking medicinal relief, search online for Indica strains. There are several sites: www.leafly.com en.seedfinder.eu/database/strains/ www.icmag.com/forums/ic-strain-guide.147/Indica's generally have soporific effects, commonly known as "couch lock". Note for homegrown: Almost any strain will have different cannabinoids at different times. Early cut, when buds have White pistils, are generally "uppers" ... awake, aware, cerebral. The longer they go, the more sedative, "on the couch" results are usually experienced.

Asheville does have one very special tribute: "A River Runs Through It".
It was high, muddy, and "non-productive" when we visited.
But, the local brewery and art galleries kept us amused.

People and attitudes have changed up there a lot though. It was, and the inside matched the outside. It seems to me that the politicians brought a lot of that on themselves. DEFUND THE POLICE!! Yea, well, they were paid back in spades. Hopefully you'll never have to deal with that. After our vaca in Maine we're thiinking about vacation time in the NC mountains. Beats buying a house.
