Fam Baan – Adventure of a Lifetime

Baan, it means home or village, the home village of your people, or your actual house, it’s a scalable for “home” A nice word

Yeah, my lil girl is cool. Likes a bit of negotiation. Anyway – bumped the A/B and CalMag to 3.5ml/L – just for reference – to fill our main tank, 200 liters, that’s: A 700ml, B 700ml, CalMag, 700ml, out of Total and Explode, offered an extra 200ml kelp plant shop stuff as a treat (last this grow as it can leave a gross flavour takes ages to cure out) and 20ml Keep it Clean and 35ml Ph Down, that’s 2355ml of nutes for 200L – today yeah mental. We did 150L today. Mental. The higher the EC the higher potential uptake – its why you get nute burn – its like a junky running down a blind alley – they run into a fucking wall. Its manifest by burned tips, and being $30 a day lighter in nute spend. Day after day. Relentless like – oh – the light spend! Electric Cakes and Nute Puddings, The costs are bare nuff bruv.

I don’t think we’ll see any burn much, the way we dose with light and gas we can push higher, I think in the past we’ve pinged higher EC too soon in the grow, we need to see a certain size of bud before ticking upwards for the 2.6 to 3.05 level. Its like the buds just get lazy you give them too much too soon, they stay forever young. There are a few plants, no doubt, that are on the edge, sub 1mm blanching. But I think the main herd is looking for a little more. This is high a potential THC led grow, an extra 2 weeks of lights in budget, so flavour isn’t really the aim here, it’s some strains we can test and ticket at 25% hopefully, But 25% honest, not the super top cola trimmed for testing, an honest fair upper mid bud testing at 25% – that’s our aim. Trust me, whatever you think you know about THC levels until you start paying for the tests regularly you have no clue. 25% bud will mash you up, and without any CBD trigger above 17% I think it’s just wasted? Diminishing returns.

Nah, we want flavour and mash you up, like to describe what we want from a strain, a “Weekend Strain” It’s my life and “I’ll get mashed if I want to!” – fun strain? I want this:

You’re winning at cards or pool or whatever, its evening, its Saturday, and you’re just high elevated

An Albanian Pit Boss with the comedy big nose of his people, at the Casino de Monte-Carlo throws you out for betting other peoples’ chips at the high rollers table, you’ve just been brazenly sliding chips into your boxes, like the guy knows he should beat fuck out of you, its what he gets paid for, bat and smash people about, his raison d’être, his very sense of self worth is beating fuck out of skells like you, but respects your pluck, your gumption, so he just winds you, a solid gut punch to your belly, folds you over, and then he shoves you out on your way, down the avenues and alleyways. You stumble off into the darkness, with $10,000 stashed in your boot and all the memories of making outrageous bets/wins and sorting out the family and friends you found yourself around. The sun rises. And you’re like, wow! Mega night! You wake up clear headed and happy for morning hits in the warm dawn – thrown out into the light with awesome memories and a rock star disheveled look with a bruise around your kidneys. (that likely came from walking into the kitchen counter the night before, rather than the imagined Albo) Its a strong look. Depends, if its wake up Saturday or Sunday, I guess. That’s more a Friday night strain for me as I get older, need the extra night to ensure the perfect bushy tailed on Monday morning!
