Had a sample smoke yesterday evening. What began as a light euphoric effect evolved into much more. Initially noticed how smooth and cough free majority of smoke was. Mighty proud at that moment. Really amazed at the smoothness! I was there during the grow and regulated all nutrients and ongoing PPM levels. No junk left in this plant by the time I cut her down. I wondered if it was all I would feel since I grew it myself. At the moment I was still doubting myself and the quality of weed I had grown. That was 2 hits off a little one hitter pipe.
Immediately decided it was best and certainly time to break out the wide bottom decanter style water pipe pictured below! Packed a 14mm bowl and smoked away. Starts with a euphoric mental high. I knew it was Indica dominant so wasn't sure how long any minor Sativa effects would last before the couch lock if any. Remember, I was still doubting the quality. The head high was as strong as anything else I've smoked recently (mostly indica dominant strains) but much longer!
A potent head to toe high. Sat down to catch up on Season 3 Episode ? of TV series 'High Maintenance'. Yeah, I'm still trying to finish that show. I'm a busy guy ya know and terrible at finishing any series in reasonable time. Haven't even started 'Game of Thrones' yet. Did I make some of you scream with that? Yep.
The head and body high progressed into a strong comfortably numb paradise. This was a strong sensation folks. Then a voracious munchies apatite! OMFG! Went through remaining half a Family pack of Oreos leaving three or four to feel better about myself. Followed by 2 boiled eggs in the fridge. Followed by microwaved slice of Lasagna. Chased all of it down with fruit punch, Coca Cola, and Bubbly Cucumber water. These were the fun foods that were immediately within my reach at the time. Remember, I had doubts that I would get stoned.
Next, I wanted to lay in bed watching YouTube TV and YouTube in general. Laying there I tuned into several subscription channels and found myself in and out of consciousness. Very comfortable and rested. Slept like a log. Woke up this morning at 4:30 am fully charged and ready to start my day! No hangover or drowsiness. Any minor aches or early morning difficulties gone. Sprang out of bed fully rested unlike any over the counter nightime sleep aids which leave me groggy for half the morning.
I am humbled and amazed! Just in the last year, I've sampled some 15 different strains from suppliers.
I don't want to say this here or anywhere, but this first grow is some of the best ******' weed I've ever smoked. Kicked my butt for remainder of the evening
Thank You GDP
This is the result of a cannabis community coming together to help a first time grower. I was there when asking the questions and seeking advice and directive on what to do next at every stage of grow. I was there sorting through advice and finding what fit me best. We were all there when it came time to cut here down, dry, and now curing.
Thank You all for helping and teaching me achieve these results!
Next generation lining up now. Had these seedling and GDP clones going in another small grow tent while I finished my first GDP plant. Trying to calculate (with nothing going wrong) from seed, when to start growing or cloning for next rotation was not easy for this first time grower. I figured I can always get rid of a plant or two vs. not having enough and waiting for plants to grow. These seedlings include:
Grand Daddy Purple (clones), White Widow, Bubba Kush, Jack herer, Mendo Purp, and Blue Dream.
Really focusing on getting that Jack herer going with it's Sativa dominant effects.
From Leafy:
"Jack Herer, also known as "JH," "The Jack," "Premium Jack," and "Platinum Jack" is a sativa-dominant marijuana strain that has gained as much renown as its namesake, the marijuana activist and author of The Emperor Wears No Clothes. Combining a Hazehybrid with a Northern Lights #5 and Shiva Skunk cross, Sensi Seeds created Jack Herer hoping to capture both cerebral elevation and heavy resin production. Its rich genetic background gives rise to several different variations of Jack Herer, each phenotype bearing its own unique features and effects. However, consumers typically describe this 55% sativa hybrid as blissful, clear-headed, and creative.
Jack Herer was created in the Netherlands in the mid-1990s, where it was later distributed by Dutch pharmacies as a recognized medical-grade strain. Since then, this spicy, pine-scented strain has taken home numerous awards for its quality and potency. Many breeders have attempted to cultivate this staple strain themselves in sunny or Mediterranean climates, and indoor growers should wait 50 to 70 days for Jack Herer to flower."
No matter what direction we take with next grow, updates coming soon!
These seedlings include:
Grand Daddy Purple (clones), White Widow, Bubba Kush, Jack herer, Mendo Purp, and Blue Dream. Why so many? I know! I figured some wouldn't germinate while others might die or just bad quality and not moving forward with it/them. Well, everyone made it and soon to be repotted.
THCtalk banned me for too many plants. Had to remove picture of clones/seedlings as the dozen plants in a tray exceeded the "too many plants" rule. There is no cash cropping here folks.
Updates coming soon!

If you have trouble cleaning the short tube below bowl, I have a trick that cleans it well.
The ash catcher will keep it all clean and easy rinse with hot water, 90% alch and epsome salts.
Really like their large upright bubbler as well, it will need a straight ash catcher.
Now get some everclear and make you some qwet.

Bubba, That entire brand of glass has kept my attention well. I also have the smaller 10 mm bowl. Lately been enjoying their spoon pipe in amber.
Steve1, I had the 62% Boveda in my shopping cart for months and decided against them for same reasons mentioned. I've since then sealed off a small closet/dry room with humidifier/hygrometer where I can raise and maintain that 60% when jars are burped.

That's what I don't get about the darker see nothing glass! Despite controlling your own breathe and intake, I need to see the smoke to prevent over doing it.
I've acquired a clear light yellow and clear spoon as well.

I need a new dependable PPM meter! Originally had BlueLab Truncheon PPM meter and sent it back after breaking on 3rd use! Sent that one back to Amazon and never using that brand again as it has to be shipped to Zurich! Then I bought the MegaMeter PPM + PH meter. The PPM meter is reading whacked. Had to water today with Nutes and just went half the dose on everything till I get a new meter to gauge where I'm at with PPM reading. Any suggestions on next meter?

Airbone,
I love my Bluelab PH meter. It was the BlueLab Truncheon PPM that lasted a couple of uses before it went bonkers on the lights. I will be keeping Bluelab PH moving forward despite price. Found the TDS&EC meter pictured on Amazonia. Thanks!

Recently purchased a cheaper PPM meter and decided to purchase another BlueLab Truncheon PPM meter stick. It was suggested I might of had a defective unit and if it were to go bad again, I'll be returning via Amazon. Interesting how the market mostly offers cheap inaccurate ppm meters (questionable readings and short life span) OR an expensive unit via BlueLab or similar company and product quality.
For example, with PH meters, you have a wide range of choices from GH PH up/down kits for $15 to thousands of $ for electronic meters. Within that range of PH meters you still have mid range price point say $65 to $100 for BlueLab PH meter.
With that out of the way, time to move on to the next grow! I have several things in Veg right now and will create a new post for each strain.

Dam, now that's a bud, even I know that ! Looking good.
I posted a thread, "I don't know what a bud is". With your plant, I don't have this problem. That's a BUD !

Man, my curing buds were smelling great until I tossed a Boveda 62 pack in, I'm not sure why, but all of the beautiful smell disappeared in one night with the pack. I took it out and after a few days the smell came back...
I've heard others say the same thing, but I didn't believe it.
I'll use them on dispensary purchased buds and my cigars, but wont use them on any of my buds again. Dammit ! I like the idea too...

That first run was a lot of fun complete with ongoing self imposed dramatic anticipation. Yielded 3 oz. cured of over the top deliciousness. From original mother plant I'm now in week 1 flower with her clones, one Black Widow, and one Jack Herer. Will add link below to new topic for that grow here soon.
I have heard that from others, but not noticed it my self. I only use them once humidity drops below 62%. Maybe that's why I haven't? I don't know. I have some OG Kush approaching one year, it's had 62% Bonaveda for at least half that time, opening jar still very
nice.A thumb...I thought my phone flipped me off.
I must have this on auto pic or something.

I think your right. They are better at giving moisture than taking it away. I would use them once my buds dry to around 60% RH or so.
I quit smoking for a few years due to a job and kept two ounces of weed for 3 years using boveda packs. The weed was still smokeable after all that time. They do work, I just have a feeling when they absorb moisture, they might be taking good things away from the weed.
Funny, I have a cigar collection and use RH beads (65RH). I'm surprised nobody on the cannabis forums has ever mentioned them. They work great and cost a hell of a lot less than Boveda packs. They can also be reused.

Looking really good. You got some good buds there 
That’s exactly what I said when my GDP was drying. Smelled really wild like no reefer I ever smelled. Not like herb at all I thought. Smells really great in the jar when you go for a sample tho and smokes even nicer
wait wait, did you say hay? Mine did not smell at all like hay
