It turns out that using marijuana is a normal lifestyle , and I ’ m not a degenerate or a menace to society . However , if I lived in Kansas , Iowa , or Tennessee , I still would be . All because of some invisible lines that some guy drew on a map and laws that date back to the 1930s . Life is weird . As a result of all that introspection , I will truly understand and enjoy the meaning of freedom and independence as I celebrate the 4th of July this year . It ’ s not just about hot dogs and fireworks ; it ’ s about truly being a free American citizen .
Plant update : As you probably know , we are currently growing six plants in real-time , and they are now in the flower stage , or at least most of them are . I didn ’ t flower them all at the same time because I didn ’ t want or need to trim all the buds at once . Between what I already have and the buds from these plants , my supply will last me a few months . That ’ s good because I like to shut down for the summer and only have one or two small plants . It ’ s best not to fight the heat and insects and start back with clones in the fall . The plant in the photo is two and a half weeks into the flower cycle .
I am writing this about six weeks before you read it so that plant has already been harvested . I ’ ll give you another update next month . Until then , enjoy the holiday .
NOTE : Our series demonstrating the complete growth cycle of a plant in real-time will continue next month . I will show you some easy ways to increase your plants ’ yield and explain a little further how to tell if your buds are ripe . Stay tuned .
