First early harvest! 2018 Legal Marijuana Grow - Episode 10
Okay so just three buds, but it still counts as the first harvest of 2018 for me! Lots of bud porn :)

Earlier this week
my kids accidentally broke off one of the small lower branches of the Blue City Diesel while crawling around behind the plants.
I heard some thrashing around in the plants and stepped outside to check on them.
"It fell off!" said @thingone :)
The branch had only a few super wispy little buds on it, which I dried quickly overnight next to the heater. Even these scraggly little buds, dried fast as they were, taste great and have a nice high! This inspired me to intentionally harvest a few nicer buds so I can start enjoying the fruits of my labor.

Blue City Diesel
The BCD is starting to stack up pretty nicely. She has lost most of her shade leaves already and is really putting all her energy into budding. She has sort of a tentacle-monster feel to her with the way I trained her limbs over. This makes me happy :)
She still has gorgeous pink hairs!
You can see some purple color coming out in the bud...
Girl Scout Cookies
The GSC shade leaves have taken on some interesting deep purples, a stark contrast to the shade leaves on the BCD which mostly just turned yellow and fell off.
She doesn't seem to be stacking the buds as heavily as the BCD but I am hoping she is just a late bloomer :)
Thankful to live in a legal state!
I am thankful to live in Oregon, a state which has finally legalized marijuana for recreational use. I can legally grow up to four plants (I have two beautiful girls). I hope to see the legalization movement continue to sweep across America regardless of the current political climate.
Cheers - Carl
in my country plants are illegal, even though the land is very fertile
Yeah it is like that in many/most areas of the world really, I guess. Even most of the United States it is still illegal.
Yuppp master, thank you very much😚
looks great!
Thanks! I was actually surprised how good the scraggly little buds I dried overnight next to the heater tasted. Can't wait to taste these nicer buds I harvested today :)
your plants are so huge and - pretty! i think i would grow them just to look at the different colors and textures of the plant.
yeah really they are beautiful plants. They give a very tropical jungle feel to my back yard. And the pinks and purples are gorgeous :)
Looking delicious! With the rain starting up, is the season about over?
nah I will be harvesting in stages for the next month, month and a half or so
Very nice
Last year I took my last buds down in December! Just a few stragglers but they still smoked nice :)
I hope I won't sound like an absolute moron, but BSD and GSC are two different sounds of marijuana? I thought there was just one, silly me! I've never smoked weed as knowing myself I would experience some purple elephants with pink dots, and it would scare the hell out of me, lol.
I'm only using CBD oil for its healing properties for my infected arm.
Your plants are so pretty! The buds are so colorful and hairy! I wish you a delicious harvest :)
Blue City Diesel and Girl Scout Cookies are two different strains. There are hundreds of different strains - this would be similar to different named varieties of roses. Each strain has different characteristics in terms of the way it grows, the way it smells/tastes, and the kind of high it produces.
Oh man! I meant SORTS, not sounds of course :) Thank you for explanation Carl.
yeah I figured it out LOL
I wish my house had landscaping like that!
Yeah it has really done wonders for the feel of the back yard LOL
Yes !!! You got some epic strains and they look amazing. BCD is one of my new favorites one of our growers has been growing it for a couple years now and it never fails to impress me!! The rain is pushing a early harvest. We are holding out for the sunshine coming next week :)!!!!!
Thanks brother! Yeah my plants aren't even close to being actually ready to take down, gotta make it at least another couple weeks. And then just play it by ear
