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
