Update,,growing on the equator

Majiktoker, Latewood,Hammer,and all you people who have helped this Ole Fart in the past,I still cannot load pictures so this is to update you all as to my native wild sativa here in Colombia.
I have had a lot of fun with this plant…I sent pictures to email address’ to some on this site, so you will see the difference in what two weeks has done,She just went over 14 feet,and her trunk at the bottom is as large as my ankle…,and is still growing…She spilt in half about a month ago,[ I made some hot cha from the split off portion I did not have a recipe and went by memory…I did not have burro milk,and I used honey as a sweetener,and whole milk with a good sized dollop of butter…and WOW did I get messed up on two cups, I was noncompetes minus for five hours ] Any way the gal is still growing and has loads of bud in flower,all in white pistils as yet,three of four weeks left I think before harvest…I’m guessing I’m going to harvest two or three pounds of only green flowers…Maybe more because they have not fattened up yet. And this from a half of a plant…The plant gets eight hours of sun a day,and I did not fertilize it much,and she won’t get flushed as we just came into summer here… and the rains have stopped…Some of you will remember an earlier note in which I saw two fifty five gallon bags full of harvested cannabis from one “tree”… TRIMMMED !! Ahhhh,I love this country…
I have quite a following here in my neighborhood when I started getting serious about making medication for just about every ailment known to man…Majiktoker started me out with a good recipe that works well…I have been tweaking it and the effort has cured my skin cancer,[which was a death knell by the doctor,] my arthritis no longer is a problem,and my prostate problem has near vanished,[ I’m the guinea pig for everything I produce…FIRST ! ] My neighbors are now keeping me busy producing the concoction…I started charging for it a few months back and the demand has increased…The main change from the original recipe is that I’m using cold pressed coconut oil as the vehicle, along with emu oil to help penetration…I use it internally and externally…
Lastly for this update is that I’m back to using only sativa,I tried three types of autoflower,yields were low compared to my local sativa…and I did not find any improvement ,in fact the pain management was much lower effectively…
Okay that’s it until the next time…Jim,aka Tico Gringo…

Toker,For a man my age, I doing great…The sativa I mentioned has some time to go,As you know I have been harvesting too early…Not this time though !
Most importantly I have future direction …I am totally surprised at my body,I’m still taking large doses internally three times a day for my prostate…The cancer scared me,It’s gone…But I’m still treating the area…

Just an update…My "little ‘’ Sativa split again… I tried to support it again,But we had a good rain the night and it couldn’t take the weight,I tried to make a tincture from the split off portion but it is not as strong as a mature plant…Roughly about 25% of the plant remains…Some days chicken some days feathers…

Aw man im sorry about the partial loss

Thanks for the note Toker…I’ve got a lot of limbs drying at this moment from her,Got any ideas as to what to do with them?

Not right off hand but let me conjure something up my friend and ill let you know :slight_smile:

UPDATE,I just harvested two gallons of green well trimmed partially decarbed bud from my three time split local sativa…I did this last evening…I was having my nightly 5 Pm martini…My scissors and fingers were so sticky, I could not work any more,So I sat there looking at my drink and the mess on my fingers and scissors,So I dipped my fingers in my drink,So it was take a drink soak the fingers,take another drink,and soak,Pretty soon my fingers were clean,and my glass was empty,So I fixed another drink and started on the scissors …When scissors were clean ,I was totally borracho,But happy and unmoving…except for the grin on my face…which was huge…
Now the decarb is complete and I have a strong gallon of very nice bud…Just bud no seeds of course,no twiggs ,just nice bud…I’m a happy camper,

MajikToker,and all the others who have helped me,I was trying to clone my old vert beat up wild sativa,I have lost many clones using honey and aloe…Which always worked in the past…And my gardener came by…He said I was doing it all wrong,So I invited him to show me,
He loosened the dirt with his machete,And started cutting limbs,He used a eight inch piece from any location,Limbs,flowers…and solely just a piece of limb ,Buried the pieces lengthwise roughly two to three inches deep… When he was complete he said don’t do anything,no water no fertilizer,nothing. He has lived here all of his life, and he has taught me many things about growing plants here in this area…He said that I would get 70 to 80 % of the buried pieces limbs to grow…I asked how he knew this,What I got back was a knowing smile,and a short comment,"I used to grow cannabis for a living ",We shall see my friends
