I took a 12 year break. After smoking almost daily for about 30 years, I stopped due to my wife taking a big time job in a small town. The biggest thing for me was dreaming again after all those years of not. I kind of liked being straight for the first time since I was 13, but all things change. So late last summer I did dip my toe back in the bong water, so to speak. I helped out a friend who couldn't get any males by growing out his seeds. They were well into flower and still no males, so I topped the living hell out of them. I got 4 to flip to male, and one girl changed her name to Herman.
I dried and smoke those tops, and I was so fucked up. I had been calling the strain The Floral Collection as a joke on the names of the two growers whose strains he had used to make this cross. But after smoking those tops I thought about changing that to Side Tracked. I could not get anything done but walk around trying to remember what I was doing.
I got 12 ladies and 1 clone harvested, with seeds on about 9 of them. Trying to decide which ones are keepers have been hard. It all is good to me, but I don't know how much is just my lack of smoking, and what is real quality. I take notes on the smell, inhale, exhale and high, but almost all of them say good in the high line.
Soon I will be taking another break. As much as I tell myself I need to take one hit a day to make my stash last, I still do 3 or 4 big hits morning, noon and night. Before long I will be looking around trying to remember where I put that trim. This summer will be a very top heavy grow season for me, just so I have something to smoke.
And I have just about stopped dreaming again. I did have a crazy dream about Sub Cool as Batman {from the Bob Schneider song} Mz Jill as the black leotarded Cat Woman, and Erb-man as Rob. Had to whip out the Bat-arang and hit her in the head. Maybe I have been watching too many of the old Weed Nerds?
