Well, its finally here, the New New Mexico, as I wrote about when I got back to NM 2015, in this very blog. I will tell you the truth, from what I see online, the New New Mexico is a whole lot like the New Texas, or the New California, or the New Massachusetts, and here is why: there are a limited number of things that can happen in the growing of modern marijuana, because there is a large number of growers, and a relatively limited number of strains, especially the "popular" strains that everybody wanted according to the fashion of the day.
So its relatively simple to see that recurring plant manifestations will happen, HAVE happened, and more often as time goes on. Some people like to play with all that, others do not care as long as the seed is viable and produces smoke that is good enough for them. These happenstance should also produce some interesting mutations in the future, hopefully something to facilitate real time travel, or maybe a biological ansible. We'll see.
These new hybrid strains are very generalized hybrids, and many are quite transient, here for a generation then gone, never to be repeated. These weird things come from second hand seeds mostly, the seeds of hermaphroditic pot which couldn't be sold at the dispensary. Tendencies toward hermaphroditism are the product of feminising, and they become more prominent as time progresses. I notice this about outdoor hermaphrodites: they are many times triggered into flowering as males because of stress, like hard weather. Over pruning will do it too, except first harvest, before the second flowering.These genetic generalizations are produced over time from the strains which everybody initially bought because they thought it would be awesome, or would sell well, or both.
A lot of early seed buyers wanted blueberry, white widow, northern lights, diesels...the look good smell good flowers. Because of female/hermaphroditic pollination among some of them, the seeds that come from these mixes will, down the line, and for awhile, have increasingly similar traits.
One such strain is being called "Puck Yeah" because its resin content is such it can easily be processed into more potent product (Pucks) by isolating the easily available resin powders. It is very very bushy in leaves, and later, when it gets its growth and begins flowering, it benefits from regular pruning of the excess leaves. When exposed to the sun the flowers grow faster bigger stronger.
In the bunch of seed I got which may be around ten years old or older now, it was second generation from white widow, ny diesel, blueberri and some gs strains. The government strains are almost viny in the way they grow, with thin thin leaves, and light wispy buds, sometimes very potent. I can see the differences, and smell too, one smelled just like bubble gum, others have a diesel smell but berry flavored too. There are lots of orange hairs when the buds cure, and there is one flavor I call night blooming jasmine, and another creme soda. They are pleasant and different and smooth and powerful.
This year began as another experimental year, year 7 of my outdoor growning odyssey, wondering if it is even possible to get a commercial grow going. Some things have fallen together well, others not. I still do not know about a commercial thing, but that is more based on legalities than the ability to grow, so there is positive movement at least.
I mixed a lot of last years soil with new from my 2 acres here, sandy as possible, along with new fillers and some composted produce. Ground up styrofoam helps break up the adobe soil here which wants to be bricks. Gravel works but of course is much heavier than styrofoam. There is a lot of odd chemical content in the western fill dirts too, including plain salt, so it is good to study the soil you add to your grow very closely.
Large styrofoam meat trays lining the inside of large pots are good insulation against excessive sun. Also the pads which wet things are packed on are full of polymers, and you know what they are if you ever bought them as a soil additive. Cheap diapers use polymers too, and they are very available. These type of pads can be processed for their polymers by soaking them new in buckets of water, they then break up easily and you can see the jelly like particles which make a good soil additive in most cases.
I hit everything with dilute peroxide solution, like a quart of 3% to five gallons of water, when initially watering new soil, before the seeds. I do that at later times too, twice during the season, with one half that amount of peroxide, a quart of 3% peroxide does 10-15 gallons of plain water. The bubbling aerates the soil and the chemical action of the peroxide/heavy water as it degrades into plain water takes out any fungus growing in the soil. It doesn't kill fungus spores though. It does not hurt the plants at one pint of 3% per 5 gallon bucket of water, they seem to like it a lot. I always smell the resin rise when I do this. I would not do it often though. As well, there was substantial rain this year, compared to the last two years, so that made some things better.
I tried to grow super roots this year and that worked out well. DL noticed that if a seedling fell over for whatever reason, you could fill the cup with dirt until just the leaves showed, and all that flimsy stem would become root and the plant would usually do better than others. I planted seedlings in 6 inches of dirt in pots 20 inches high, then, over the growing season, proceeded to fill the buckets slowly, a shovel or two a week, covering the lower stems and even the lower branches. By time the plants starting flowering the roots were abnormally long and the plants were abnormally large because of this. I used a little cheap nitrogen pellet fertilizer, along with sparing amounts of epsom salts/magnesium supplement at 3-4 months and the middle of flowering. I learned you can soak multivitamins in water and there is a lot of exotic stuff which is useful in that water. Test first, and don't overdo it, right?
The first pruning took place when some of the plants were 5 months old, and had been flowering two months. It was late summer. They were pruned heavily, and many removed. All the weed is very good, still curing.
No longer are any of these the strains what they were in the beginning, everything is crossed with something and the plants are heavily feminised. Certain traits are dominant, others recessive until another time I am sure. The New New Mexico is Not Heinz 57, but gettin' there.

Donny Chaotic

Modern Politics should be considered thus: DC and AC. To the unobservant that stands for During Crist and After Crist. Even I became somewhat freaked out when Jeb started wearing his hair en pompadour, then Charlie Crist was fast tracked by the Republican party into the Florida governors office. Crist had a lot of support from the gay sector, and heres what he really was: A donkey in elephants clothing. This changed many things in American politics, at a very fundamental level, and should be called The Strategy Of Poser Politics, whereby a person gets into power by whatever it takes, then has his or her way in spite of all thats been said before or what the party supposedly stands for. Eyes become blind to many things and it basically sows a low grade though persistent confusion within all politics, the voting mass, and the media.
Florida is still reeling, especially the old bible thumpers, the few that are left.
Donald Trump rides a surfboard named Chaos. The waves he rides are generated by a very real but covert civil war here in the good old USA, created outside America, over time, by Americas enemies. The main weapon in this 2nd civil war is money, or, rather, denial of it. Do a search on 'NRA Cuomo' to see the sparklers kiddies. I told the NRA about this tactic over 20 years ago, they called me belligerent and paranoid. I feel an F Bomb coming on.
Our money is no longer a right, the right to commerce, it is now a benefit, and the issuers, world banks, continually redefine these benefits. Needless to say, Americans are usually the losers. Sullivan said our foreign policy has devolved into taking money from the poor people in this rich nation and giving it to rich people in poor nations. Too true.
A precept of Modern Libertarian thought concerns dealing with these foreign agencies and their so-called most favored nations status. America is our most favored nation, and until that is in order again the rest can just wait, or better yet, learn to take care of themselves. Most of those banker scumbags will go find someone elses blood to suck, like the tobacco companies peddling ciggies in the third world because it finally became generally known here in the civilized world that tobacco is nothing so much as serial mass murder. Capitalism my ass its a bunch of blue blood bullshit and drug dealing, special interest lawmaking and religious hoo-hah, insider trading and nepotism, favoritism and privilege, the ridiculous rich do not know commerce or anything like it, its a bunch of glad handing and self-titillation based on secrecy and ego. The super traitor jorge bush made a lot of people rich in law enforcement because he was doing his best to internationalize it secretly; he has a big following because of that, he is god money to cops and mormons. Being the cheap piece of shit he is means he is just trying to get the taxpayers to foot the bill for a police state and all his corporate law enforcement too. Search "Bush Paraguay Ranch" and the USAFB which was built nearby it. Homeland Security is nothing so much as "Protection" for the Cocaine Cartel.
Also at the core of Libertarian thought, in the very front of it actually, is social security. Its going to take a LOT of resources to bring America back to being a free land, with free ways of thinking -- to wrest people from the police state instituted by the world governments media, to re-train and re-enlighten Americans as to what American really means. You are not your brothers keeper. Lords and kings are bad for our way of life. Reading is good, and on and on. In spite of tv programming, most people are not doing bad things, and real violence is not hard to see if you are not dumb as shit. It is most times alcohol related. Arm yourself bunkie, it is the gift that makes you a free man, and keeps you that way.
This is not a place to be "Harvested" by little tin mafiaso and secret agent hix in need of making a bust. This is AMERICA, and Americans are NOT to be policed. Its time to find something else to watch on tv, and its time to find something else for the police types to do. This has all been covered in this blog before. Social security, which means a whole lot more than just chex in the mail, is top priority because the place is a wreck, we have been attacked over and over again and our land is in ruins, what you see around you is nothing more than the justice of faulty information, fake news. Compare police and military expenditures against public welfare expenditures, the figures are overwhelming.
The true plight of America is that we are hoodwinked. The awful and untrue illusions of television have become the number one information source for many people, and we have been trained away from the real brutality of those who want to rule us. History means nothing to most Americans, as they continually repeat mistakes that have been made many times before, like some pathetic piece of misfiring mechanism. Yes, broken is what we are, do not doubt that. It is not called Programming for nothing.
Just the number of people failing to look up and see the new aerosol technologies deployed since 911 leads me to believe this attack is from MANY sectors at once, sparing no expense, and is being done very very slowly, encompassing many facets, including AMA medicine and media programming, who are of course in strict public denial about any of this.
In the beginning I didn't like Donald Trump. It was more than disaffection due to social class, it was pretty much total rebellion against what I considered monumental complacence by the political coke dealers, and true acts of treason by organized white collar crime in the American government. I could only see more of the same old same old being stridently presented by someone who once made a living in the awful illusions of TV media, and still collects 100 grand a year retirement from the actors union.
But then things changed.
Because I am very observant (In my own way) I saw The Presidents hand in events that weren't just fundamental changes, but also changes which directly affected me in a positive way, events like the Farm Bill which lifted the long standing ban on Hemp, and the restructuring of some laws concerning our waterways. The US Space Force and US Space Mining have been instituted which you better remember first and foremost when it comes to our social security. Imagine 100 years of high paying jobs for all Americans, its not hard to do that if you try. That is only a beginning.
I said hey, this guy is not really a politician! Most importantly, it makes me know some people have been paying attention. I am Glad.
Also, the interests of many sinister forces within America itself have been attacked during Trumps time already, crime families who can never reveal how they really got all that money, because thats all top secret stuff (Not to mention bestial) or how their family records are either all destroyed or totally falsified. A big Libertarian ideal is DISCLOSURE, we want to know what we paid for in the last 100 years, and its because of the crime families and their systematic removal of records in the archives that this needs to be addressed immediately. Freedom of information doesn't get it, its a bad joke.
I WILL SAY THIS AGAIN (SEE EARLIER BLOG POSTS) AND AS PLAINLY AS I CAN: IF THE BORDER WALL IS NOT COMPLETED THE CATHOLIC CHURCH AND ITS MINIONS IN WORLD GOVERNMENT WILL CAUSE A MAJOR CATASTROPHE WITH TESLA TECHNOLOGY AND CREATE MILLIONS OF DISPLACED HOMELESS REFUGEES TO INVADE UNDER DURESS. I HAVE SEEN THE TMT TECTONIC TESTS ALREADY. THE FIRST INVASION DID NOT TRANSPIRE AS THEY HAD HOPED, BUT THEY NEVER GIVE UP. WHY DO YOU THINK THEY ARE SO IRRESPONSIBLE ABOUT POPULATION CONTROL? THEY NEED ALL THOSE INNOCENTS IN CASE A GREAT SACRIFICE IS REQUIRED. WAKE UP.
Mr. Trumps perfect irreverence concerning his favorite bible verse also made me realize he was not mind controlled by the lord, and I came away from that with appreciative laughter. I then heard the queen really disliked The Donald and that cinched it, I said Trump is for me. I am not a total fan by any means, and I don't have any money to give, but I have sincerely changed my way of thinking concerning Donald Trump. He is more Libertarian in a realistic way than anyone I have seen yet, and my vote will reflect that.
To Hell With Chaos.
Shoot the curl D.

Sinsemilla
By Bill Gallagher
1310 Words
The first time I smoked real potent pot was by accident, involving a lot of chance circumstance and even serendipity. It was 1977, and I was getting ready to graduate from Miramar High School, in South Broward County Florida. I was also dating the girl who was to be my future first wife. We were a bunch of wild kids from privileged families, which is to say we were normal for that time and place. We lived in very exotic setting, with a lot of excellent weather and plenty of easy, well paying work. It was fun.
Most of the pot we high school kids got was brown mexican, heavily seeded, lots o' stems, but we didn't know much then, and usually smoked the stems too. Our few experiments with smoking seeds were always ill fated and therefore short lived, though we had by that time all begun experimenting with planting those seeds, which would lead to a lifelong passion for some of us. Along with the brown Mexican we sometimes got Jamaican black, and also some reds and golds from the places in Mexico where they really know how to grow. Those other weed types all had seeds too, and a lot of that seed got put into the ground, and some even flourished.
I was working at Ronzos Pizza on Miramar Parkway, across from Harrys Miramar TV. I was friends with all the guys at Ronzos, and Harrys Miramar TV, and even a bunch of the Miramar cops, and I had also gotten a few of my high school friends jobs there delivering pizzas, or making pies. One of my high school buds was named Don Thomann, who had been a pretty straight arrow until he was corrupted by the personnel at Ronzos, as many of us were. Thank you Ronzos pizza, for all the good food, and the education. That place was a rite of passage for more than just a few of us, thats for sure. Welcome to the real world.
One night I was making pizzas and Don comes in, says hey Bill, Denise and Bernadette (Bern was Dons future wife) are out front in a big clunker cadillac with some other chicks and they are all stoned as shit. Denise wants you to come out. So of course I went, learning the first of the ropes right away. Yes dear.
Sure enough they were all stoned as the bejesus, and later I found out it was pot that Denises close friend Dawn, the driver of the gnarly caddy, had grown. I was impressed, but little did I know, little did I know. The girls were sent on their way with a big half pepp half sausage w/extra cheese, on the house, and everything was cool.
About a month later I was conscripted by Dawns mother, through Dawn and Denise, to do some handyman work at their house off Pembroke Road near the turnpike. I completed the shelving with no problems, and the girls were so happy they went out to buy beer, and we had a couple. I had been paid in cash and it was more than I asked for, so I was kind of antsy to track down a bag, which at that time was 3-4 fingers for 25 bux. 25 bux was a lot more money then.
The girls could tell I was distracted, and I told them I wanted to go get some pot. Thats when I heard the story of the weed that Dawn grew.
Dawns father was like a lot of guys in Miramar, and in the USA, he was a successful jackass par excellence, pompous, pig headed, and he got a lot of his lines from Archie Bunker. He was always harping about marijuana, putting it down. He said he would know it anywhere and would call the cops immediately blah dee dee blah.
Now Dawn and her mother had a great relationship, honest, open, and Dawn told her mother she would like to plant a marijuana seed on the back porch by the pool, in one of the big pots there. Her mother thought it was a gas, so they did, and it grew into a plant about three feet high. Dawn asked me if I wanted to see the picture they had taken of her father happily watering the marijuana plant on his back porch. I said no thanks, mostly because I was embarassed for the poor jackass, having been one before myself. And I had no doubts as to the veracity of this tale, none whatsoever.
So yeah, by this early time I was wary of Jackassville at all levels, though obviously nowhere near wary ENOUGH, when all is seen in retrospect, but that is a story for another day. I have to confess that this incident with Dawn and Denise and Dawns Mother allowed me a somewhat clear look into the female psyche, at least moreso than anything else that had happened up until then.
Because I was to be married I took that lesson to heart, and coupled with what I had learned on my own, and what the Italian barber in Miramar gladly told anyone who would listen, God bless his soul, I was able to survive 10 years with the first wife, though the last three were off and on, mostly off. Over time I saw quite a lot more concerning the innner workings of the female mind, in general I mean, as I was married TWICE and have had my share of other relationships which never made it for one reason or another. My ultimate pronouncement is that men and women formed as differently as possible to cover more survival aspects within reality. Really one organism, two for the price of. The God force is both male and female as One, hows THAT for scary, hmmmmm??? Most times men and women are not so different that they will kill each other before having children though.
Help I'm rambling and I can't get up.
Anyway.
Dawn said her patio marijuana plant had produced flowers, and at that time I was ignorant of what that meant, then I put it together: those were buds! She said they had smoked only the leaf of the plant, and were afraid to smoke the flowers because they looked strange. They WERE strange too; it was a lone female and had not been fertilized, it were non seed, it were. The women had accidentally produced sinsemilla, seedless flowers of marijuana hemp.
It would be half a decade or more before I even heard the word Sinsemilla, but I was not afraid to try those flowers, oh no, so Dawn went to the garage and brought out a little flower pot just chock full of flower pot. It made all the other marijuana I had smoked pale in comparison, and was almost scary that first time. There was less than ounce of that flower material but they gave it to me with their blessings, and it was the best bonus I ever got.
Sometime during the earliest eighties I obtained The Marijuana Growers Guide, and began producing small crops of sinsemilla with lights, and I was on my way. The rest of the world has caught on and Sinse has become the most prevalent product in a big way, though some chowderheads in Mexico (2018) still don't get it. Not only is their pot still seeded, but compressed so badly that the seeds are ruptured, releasing oils into the marijuana which can produce poison on burning. Perhaps this is being done on purpose, the drug war being a cartel and religious war on Americans, don't you know? One more good reason to grow your own seedless hemp flowers.
