What's up Steem! So one thing I promised to myself was to focus more on content creation. I have seriously been lacking in that department. I want to give my good friend, and GHRO partner, @greenhouseradio a shout out, and want to give him credit for what he has been doing with the @steemcurator06 account. In case you all did not know, Steemit has been gifting people delegations, to help grow the community. It really is a golden era for content creators on all block chain social media. It never has been easier to get a nice vote from a whale. If you have good and interesting content, they will come, I promise. But one most also ask themselves, what is worth more. A 2$ vote, that you end up getting maybe 80-90 cents for once it is payed out, or a connection with another like minded person, or even an connection with a person who has different views then you? Well yes it is very nice to get those pennies. It adds up over time. That is just the cherry on the cake. What about the icing, and the cake itself? This is what community and connections are. You can always have a cake without a cherry, but you never can have a cake without a cake! This is the ultimate goal. To build a thriving community that bridges everyone, Weedcash(HiVe), Smoke.io, Instagram, even Facebook, and soon to be BLURT. This is what we are doing @canna-curate. I invite you all to our Discord, and lets bake a cake, TOGETHER!

Ok, time for less gibber jabbish, and time for some greener hashish!

It has been a while since I have talked about my outdoor grow. A while back I nicknamed it, "The Mystery Spot". Well it is really no longer a mystery. I have some Steem Og, and a Dj Blueberry x Astro Beaver cross. Yeap @bluntsmasha I remembered what the other cross is. He will be stoked to hear, because the Beave is his favorite strain!

Here is the Astro cross. It has not been growing well, since I went ahead and used some of that dirt that has time released fertilizer. That is what happens when you cut corners, you get poor results. But I am not to worried about it. These are just seeds I germinated for the fun of it. These are what I call my practice plants. Check this out......

That's a Steem Og getting some low stress training. As you can see, I just bend down the whole plant, so that way all the bottom nodes have turned into tops. I am debating if this is what I want to do on my next round of indoor plants. It sure is is a cool way to train.

Here is another Steem Og with no training. These pheno is a bit more bushier, with more nodes. What I will do is start bending back some tops, and then I can compare which training does a better job. So far it does seem by bending tops, you are able to manipulate the plant more precise. Once the LST plant gets bigger, I will see how it does with bending the tops, and see if I am able to manipulate exactly how I would need it to be inside of a tent.

Here is what I am talking about when I say bending tops. This is a top that was taller then the rest of the plant. So I grabbed it, bend it down, and then tied with a twisty tie. This will let the other parts of the plant catch up, and when another runaway top goes amuck, I will grab it, and tie the fucker down, ;) You see I am a cola man. I don't want to mess around with bottom fluff. But it happens. This is one thing I need to step up in my grow game. This will be done by more tops, better light penetration, and incorporating lolloping. Until then, I will continue to play with these outdoor plants, and then when game time comes, I will take what I have learned, and put to use.

This is my court

Don't hate the player, hate the game
