The White Widow harvest dried enough in 24 hours for me to comfortably do this today:
…and then this:
…to make room for this:
…which, in turn, made room for this:
Mama Left Eye looks pretty chopped up after taking some clones and removing some dying branches from over aggressive supercropping, but I’m learning, and I’m confident that she’ll be okay.
Here’s the nursery:
For now, the top shelf will be for these clones and (hopefully) seedling, and whichever plant of those is “the Chosen One” to be next up in the Frigidank™, will go all the way through veg there.
At some point, once Left Eye is used up (that sounds so bad, but you get it) or flowered, I may change this up a bit. Maybe run 4-6 seedlings, put the best looking/behaving two down to the bottom to veg for a couple months, eventually culling to just the better of the best, and then vegging it until the flower box is vacant. Some kind of cycle like that.
I’m pretty happy with how my first grow has gone, seed to harvest. I don’t expect big numbers, and I don’t care what the final weight is really, but I’ll definitely post it once it’s dry, either way. I’ve learned so much, and I’m already halfway through my second grow. I’m so excited to try the dried (yes, dried, I won’t make it another 2+ weeks for “cured” LOL!) White Widow, to smell the Lemon Skunk start flowering (HOOah!), to taste the final, cured product, and to watch my Lil Sebastian baby grow up to be a voluptuous, dense, beautifully fragrant lady herself…or, you know, another Lemon Skunk clone or four, if Lil Sebastian turns out to truly be a “Sebastian,” and not Lil Kim. No worries!
I’m SO in love with this plant. I mean, I’ve always really liked her, you know? Lol! She makes me happy, hungry/sleepy when I need help with either, and oh the things she does for pain and so many other ailments, that pills cannot.
But taking a little seed and putting it in some soil and watching it grow, nurturing it as it nurtures you (ok, maybe that sounds a little silly, too much, whatever…but seriously, gardening has calmed me down, made me more patient…probably saved my life, truly), helping it grow the best you can, so it can help you medicate the best you can. I’m sure you can tell I’m medicated. So? I’d probably not have the guts to get over my own crap long enough to even take a photo, let alone post this journal, if it weren’t for this wonderful plant. Growing it yourself is an entirely different experience. I honestly don’t even care if it turns out to be schwag. I f****** did it! And no one can take that away from me! 
Anyway, I’m just as high on life as anything else this evening, and wanted to share my random thoughts. I’ve been told they help others sometimes. I hope everyone is doing well today/tonight. Happy gardening!
