Ahh, those were the days, I was privileged to have a mate then that grew a Garage full of plants, he had a small Suitcase full of buds, and we all descended upon him to sample his wares, one comment from a very stoned stoner, has always stayed with me was, 'Hey, go easy on that Tobacco, we haven't got much!', I nearly Choked with laughter.
That aside though, I still have my nose, my face would look weird without it, I do still wonder if there is a better way, sometimes there is, do you actually know any Breeders, have you actually visited a Commercial grow, or just looked on Youtube for info, over the years I have been friendly, with a few commercial and semi-commercial growers, one is still current and grows in California. While Quad biking in the Sahara Desert, I stumbled on a Massive Grow there, I spent several hours chatting with the owner, the Apple Tea was nice as well.
Perhaps my comment that I am lazy, was a bit incorrect and I stand corrected on that, also it isn't my grow that has gone tit's up, it's a friend and he asked for help, that's all.
I have Lollipopped, Fim'ed, LST'ed, SOG and goodness knows what else, do I personally think they help, yes I do, but these days I don't to a great extent, sure I pull the odd Fan leaf off, but I let the plants do their own thing, as nature intended, sure this affects yield, but I have three Tents, Four Lights and goodness knows what else, I grow for my personal use only and am never in short supply of product. I also brew Wine and vent a minuscule amount of C02 from this into the Tents, does it help, probably not, but the carbon filters stop the house smelling like a brewery, and is a good topic of conversation with like-minded friends.
So, I do like to put comments out there, sometimes I even get constructive replies and answers, I don't spend a lot of time on my plants, except for watering, seeing they are healthy etc, but it is my choice, that's the way I grow these days, I have had a lot of practice at it. I suppose if I ever ran low on product, I would do what it takes to increase my yields.
I did get Drunk/Stoned on Cannabis Beer in Amsterdam once but am now looking to combine two of my hobbies and use all the wasted parts of the plants I don't smoke to make Cannabis Wine after finding a decent-sounding recipe on the internet, I wonder how many growers will take time to do that, quite a lot I hope.
As for weird Goofy plant's, I chopped one down but left the stem in the pot and it started growing again, the weird thing was it was totally unlike the rest of the plant had looked, a check on the internet caused a lot of head-scratching, as it looked like Ruderalis, go figure on that?
