Congrats on the retirement DoubleJJ! I've got an Uncle who recently retired as a corrections officer after 30 years, and a cousin whose put in right at 20! Read your intro thread a minute ago, and it was some pretty interesting stuff! Glad you were finally able to start showing your skills!

On to more pertinent thred stuff.......does the medi always flower this early? what was the exact name of the strain again? (just seen it referred to as "medi" in the last few posts and too lazy to go thru the whole thread) is it available thru attitude?

Thanks for all of the kind words everyone. I just very glad to finally be retired & not have to look over my shoulder all the time. The kind people of California would have fried my ass & hung it on the gate as a warning to others, if they found out I use marijuana. I had my retirement on the line.

That job could go from being the best job I ever had, to the worst job you could imagine, in seconds. And did many times! The riots were the worst. I met the best & worst people on earth in there. I would walk the tiers with guy's that would lay their life on the line for you every day & with people that would kill you the second they got the chance.
I can honestly say that I've known hundreds of Crips, Bloods, Mexican Mafia, Hells Angels, Aryan Brotherhood, Black Guerilla Family, mother rapers & father rapers!....At the end of the day, all I can say is "thank god we build prisons"!
My worst nightmare was when I attended a co-workers retirement party & funeral in the same month!

The Medi is "Medijuana". I was gifted the seeds & was told it was an early strain. I'm not sure where they came from.

P.S. A short view of how quick things can go bad in Folsom Prison. Most of the guy's you see fighting here, have weapons: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=40irgQcAWHY

I have MANY MANY years to go before I retire. With my family health history I may not make it. Enjoy it sir. You deserve every millisecond of it!

Congrats on the Retirement!! that's awesome! So any new pics of your babies for us?

Thanks again for the smoked salmon, the boys will be back down this way I think Sunday? Soon as I confirm the time will call you.

DJJ, can you tell me what brand or what was the name of the canopy was that you bought. It looks like perfect size for the side of my house as well.
Thanks,
Smitty

The carport frame came from Costco. The carport comes with a cover, but you only need the frame. Sometimes you can find carport frames on Craiglist.
Everything else to cover it, you can get at Home Depot.

I'll take some pic's tomorrow

Thank you Hodge, I'll see you Sunday

P.S. Love that Medi!

Your intro was the most fascinating story I have ever read!! Feel free to come to New Zealand for a massive smoke out anytime you like, I just harvested three NL clones two weeks ago

is anyone else having problems viewing there threads or searching?

JJ. You really seem like a perfectionist when it comes to this and every year you make changes to get the most out of your hobby. I've read countless threads on harvest and curing but would love to hear your method as I'm sure it's a method you trust. Can you give us specifics on how you cure? It's basically the last step for me and being that I jumped in feet first, got a month and a half late start and my babies still look amazing, I don't want to roll the dice on this last step and maybe have a bad outcome. How do you cure?

I want those crispy yet moist buds everyone aims for.

I'm very fortunate my house has a full basement. It seems to stay at just the right temp & humidity for drying buds. Like an old tobacco drying shed i guess.

I've got a couple of these racks from Home Depot. I trim everything wet. Dry in these racks. Each rack holds about 5lbs.

After about 7-10 days they are completely dry, but not powder dry. I just wrap it up in turkey bags. In a few weeks it's cured.

So I guess my curing method is wrap it in a plastic bag & throw it under your house! lol!

You sir are awesome.

Thanks man, I now know what I am going to use for a drying rack!

i feel the same way man..... so many people barley have enough to live, or stuff 6 people in a 1 room house..... i feel BLESSED to have the space and resources that i have.....

can you get that greenhouse film @ home depot?? because that would just be amazing..... all i have to get is bigger pots, soil and the greenhouse film and i will be ready for next year

random tip:
leave a small peice of stem on the bottom of the buds. this will allow you to handle to buds without getting the valuable stickies on your hands. if you leave a stem "hook" you can string the buds to for easy drying

You can get 6mil plastic rolls at Home Depot, it doesn't last long enough in the sun, but it works.
The greenhouse film is made for greenhouses & lasts longer in the sun.

Good luck
