No buds on either of the two plants I have. But I am seeing sap? or something forming sporadically on the leaves here and there. Then, I guess, the wind blows and I get several leaves stuck together in a clump.
It seems that it is related to hot weather, but I cannot be sure. I have seen Mary Jane a bit wilted in mid afternoon, but the avocado plant does the same. I am guessing that the leaves wilt, then the wind blows breaking the soft skin of the leaves.
Everyone knows that marijuana leaves are not the potent part of the plant. But when I was young, people would sell bags of marijuana which contained all parts of the plant, even stems. There were buds mixed in too but that is the way they came from the dealers (fellow students in high school). If you bought a 'lid', it was an ounce of pot.
I think a lot of what is sold today is mostly buds. I have never bought pot in the 20 years that I have lived in South America, but I have seen people roll a "blunt' from time to time.
Like everything else, there are cheap Chinese toys that break ten minutes after you buy them, and there are quality ones made anywhere else that last months if not years. Pot dealers are quality focused or rip off artists. You have to know the good ones from the bad.
Because my plants are outside and I see them several times per day, I may have noticed this cheat code! If this is sap, it could be better potency than plain leaves would be.
These have no buds yet this year but they have got a lot of new growth sprouting from the branches, right out of the " wooden " part, if the stem can be called wood. Whatever grows in these two pots is all bonus! I was watering dead looking plants four months ago, and you saw them come back to life. I cannot complain.
Today, I saw the same sticking phenomenon. I twisted and rilled the withered leaves and plucked some off, put it in a pipe, and slowly heated it while drawing on it. It did not taste like leaves do. It had more of a bud like flavor and affect.
I have a lot of spiders in my garden, even those tiny jumping spiders, which are the only ones that I do not mind. They are happy to jump on your hand if you put it close to them. They have no fear because they can always get away. They are faster than we are.
Really hard to photograph with a cell phone though.
Well now that I have had a few hits of these sticky leaves, I can say that the buzz is a lot like what I remember hash to be like when I was in high school. I remember seeing a video, more than 10 years ago,
how hash is made. I saw women who had leather aprons, and they were going through the fields and touching the plants, then rolling some substance on their aprons. I assumed it was pollen from the buds, but I cannot remember. What the process produced was called finger hash because it was the size of a finger, some were longer than a finger.
Thoughts and guesses of what is happening are welcome. Should I try making hash with it? -- I may be taking a nap after I have some munchies though. It's been a long time and I am not used to this.
For all of you that have been following along, I hope this post has quenched your thirst for more info on how the Mary Jane patient is doing. Summer is at its peak here in the deep-down-under. Growth is abundant too.
Thanks for following and commenting on my posts. Your support is appreciated!
