How To Roll A Blunt Pt.3

A few shots of the leaf. We will eventually tear off some of each end.

Step 3 - Separate the english from the dutch

Ok, now you have a leaf, and a cigar with a '1-ply' tobacco paper, and a lil POS paper at the end of the cigar. The dutch will have a seam running longways. We are going to split the paper along that seam. After practice working with the cigar, you will be able to split by hand by pinching the cigar with both hands, and 'popping' that seam. For starters, just cut on the seam.

How To Roll A Blunt Pt.4

Now dump out the filler tobacco (english), and throw out the part of the cigar with the 'mouthpiece'. Be aware that the 'blunt turd' is paraphernalia in some places, and littering everywhere. Act accordingly.

You will be left with the inner paper. This paper should still have the seam on it, and if it does I tear it off (optional). Pre-tear

How To Roll A Blunt Pt.5

Step 4 - Rolling

OK, you have a paper, leaf, and some broken up weed. You need to move sort of quickly to keep the blunt 'pieces' from drying out. Here is a pic of the paper that you are going to roll with. It is as big as a 1 1/4" zig-zag, and a lil longer.

Roll the inner paper just like a joint. It doesn't have to be very tight, but tight enough to keep the weed from falling out of the ends. If the paper is dry, give it a few 'hot breaths'. You will have to lick the paper pretty good, but once it gets saturated, it will stick to itself.

Rolled

Step 5 - Wrapping

Now you have to wrap the leaf back onto the blunt. Cut or tear the leaf ~1/2 way into the 'pointy end', and at the 'scrappy end', tear from the last stem towards the 'scrap'. Place the end of the blunt that you want to use as a mouthpiece flush with the 'bottom' of the leaf.

cont'd...

How To Roll A Blunt Pt.6

Fergot - Lick the hell outta the leaf, and concentrate on the thick stems. Line the blunt up in the leaf so that the stems will be running longways once it is rolled.

Now roll and lick the top edge as you do. Be careful to not fold the leaf over itself very much, the blunt will burn like shit there. Make a good seal with the top edge of the leaf as you work down the blunt. Take your time, and if you have to, start the 'wrapping' over. Once the leaf is licked up, you have a while to work with it. Once you are satisfied with what you have, trim the ends; if you have to, poke the mouthpiece with something if necessary.

Ta-Da! Now light that mo-fo and kick back!

I'ma go twist another!

PS - I didn't do this fer my health!! Roll one!

Stacks, Red - Whattap, thanks for droppin by

Here is the last of the SuperSpice runt phenos. She is ~90 days today, and getting chopped 2moro AM. I have 1 unknown SuperSpice clone left from the 6 total females that I had this summer, and I flipped her Sun. No worries, I have (I think) 17 SuperSpice and SSHf2's jumbled up in veg.

I'm chopping an indy dom SuperSpice clone this weekend (~65days), and a 'tweener' next weekend (~80 days). The EQ comes down once she goes bone, prolly Sun/Mon. She will be 9wks since first flower Sat. I gave the kalichakra a reprieve and watered her today. She showed me 2 nanners last wk, but nothing since. Nice sweet smelling indica. Not at all like my only other female, or like Mandala describes. That's OK, cause the seeds were 27 bux delivered with a freebie. The 2 indy dom MMG's will come within a week or so, and the sexy haze monster will get her time... I'll get some pix running through here again.

 

[barletta]

Hey if you guys are going to stop by, might as well have a cookie!

These are the MangoWidow x (OG Kush x g13/Hz) going in 2moro. I call the dad 'Dude', so these are MW x Dude; Ima call em MWD. I have 1 or 2 more to flip next wk.

MWD ~20days above dirt.

The G/Sk and Shits are growing pre-flowers, but nothing definite yet. I'll check heavy 2moro, as I have to re-arrainge. Nice bush coming out Sun AM, stay tuned...

 

[JessE]

Nice tutoral Barletta

At one point in time, I took great pride in my abilitys to roll blunts. Its definitely an art form, something that requires endless practice to perfect. But reaching Wizard skill level is obtainable, if you smoke enough of them

I stopped smoking blunts years ago, mainly because I found I could get stoned on a fraction of the amount of ganja we were using to roll our blunts. But the added taste of the blunt wrap never set too well with me, although its clearly remained a popular method despite the fact I left it behind years ago. Shortly after I quit, I noticed tobacco less flavored wraps being sold which obviously cuts out alot of the cut/peel techniques. Glad to see somebodys hold it down old school still.

There was a time when it was popular to have glass, and even rivalrys existed back in the day between who had the nicest bong. As you might imagine, I had a very expensive glass tube myself . Quite a few in fact! Somebody always managed to break my glass for me though. On two occassions, very expensive pieces "feel on their own" and broke. Ive also had countless glass bowls as well, again somebody always broke them for me. So after many years, and thousands of dollars Ive went back to the good ol fashioned brass bowl and havent looked back. The stress and heart break of losing such nice pieces, plus the possibility of being left without any utensils to get stoned with are a thing of the past. Long since past.

Old school over and out.

 

[barletta]

Blue you're my boy.

I figgured that someone will try it and like it enough to pick it up. I smoke too much, so a blunt keeps me lit up for an 'indeterminate' amount of time, while bowls and joints generally leave me looking to smoke again in ~an hr. I take pride in my blunts, but more pride that I can roll a 90% perfect blunt everytime w/o blinking in 2-3 minutes. and can roll blunts that don't unwrap or require licking or anything 'lo-pro' in a car (driving in a few wks).

I have a nice glass spoon that I smoke pretty much daily, and a lil shit glass piece somewhere. I just hate cleaning it every wk or so if I use it exclusively, and smoking KB in a pipe that stays cracklin ain't fer me, lol. Joints are cool for cars, and when the stash starts to look real puny in it's designated jar...

I got a pipe with citiboy Sal a few wks ago, and the colors are OK, but it looks like a chick pipe, LMAO. I picked 2 that were thick, curvy, and heavily 'fumed' figguring he'd get the idea. He liked 1, and picked a boring straight spoon with the dark blue and bright yellow blown right in. It looks like a lot of white is gonna come through, but it also looks like a glass dildo. I buy a new glass pipe every 3-4 yrs, or whenever my existing pipe smashes somewhere. I spend bet 20-40 bucks on a bowl, and look for what I like:
Carb on the left
EVENLY thick
Big bowl piece w/steep taper fer smaller 'loads'
Colors with work put into em.
I like to look among the bowls as a group (visually) and pick a few that (I think) the artist would have liked. Then I pick em up and see which ones feel right, don't roll around on the table, etc..

I dated a girl in HS who worked at a headshop with her sister for a WHILE. The owner/blower was a cokehead, and lots of times he would just pay them in HEADIE pieces. He would just give them piecies that sat around for a while, but there was usually a reason that they sat. I was BLOWN away when I was at her house, didn't have my first lil glass piece (from that shop), and she says "..oh, I have some pieces downstairs..."

I'm going to go get a grinder 2moro. I HATED on them for years, but today I was rolling some buds and 2-3 hits of hash were left on my fingers. I rubbed most of it off, but too much stayed stuck, and I roll a lot of bud, lol. I saw a tube that I liked, ~60 bux with a blown slide. Price was right for what it was, I don't care much for asthetics on a bong. The biggest volume that I can clear CLEANLY. I had a 39" acrylic for years. Just a straight tube. I even lost the base, and used to just lean it in the corner. I also fell in love with my lil sis' ex-boyfriend's steam roller. Like a bong 'neck' open at both ends with a pipe style bowl 'sunk' in @ 90deg. Big clean hits, CAKE to clean. Very strong due to tube design (VERY even). If I see 1 I like, I'll pick it up, I convinced myself. Think dude would trade for some cookies??

 

[JessE]

If I was going to purchase a glass bong again, it would definitely be one of the higher end Roor pieces. Those things are the real deal! I believe MNS supports Roor, an excellent decision in my opinion. Everybody stands to profit when the best of two worlds come together and support each other.

Nice cannabis shots by the way above bro, very nice. My particular crew always rolled blunts slightly different than yourself, but the idea is ofcourse the same. Thats something I would pass on almost everytime though, I find the added nicotine can level out your buzz in comparison to just smoking straight ganja. But increasingly, Im in the minority anymore. Its a new generation out there, influenced by the hip hop culture and thus continuing the inevitable path of change that is before us.

Damn that was beautiful

 

[barletta]

Whoa, Whoa, Whoa. MNS has corporate partners??? I NEVER KNEW. I bet a 'budshot' or essay contest every month here on this BANGIN board would absolutely promote some product. Some nice marketing style pix, and enough people would enter and lose and end up wanting the prize bad enough to buy it anyway (150 BURNING in my pocket fer SSH...). I know that Shanti doesn't mess with the bobble, but is ANYONE over there working on marketing? C'mon Shanti, selling (not weed) and growing weed are the 2 things that I'm best at (dog whispering and basketball a close 2nd)!!! The dollar SUCKS, I'd LOVE to get paid in some euro's or swiss francs or Auzzie dollahs.

With no outer leaf, You can just crack em and roll em, but once someone rolled then smoked a quality dutch in front of me, I was hooked. I will walk/drive somewhere else to get a cigar with a leaf vs. a phillie/white owl. I do smoke those 'golden wraps', but they are like the inside of a dutch w/glue. LOL that's if you rolled em like I did before I started wrappin em.

Dood that Mex is makin ya wax poetic. Love it. I used to get bricks from NYC, and the occasional KILLER batch would come through. 1st time I bought a half lb, it was RKS. I was expecting some mex/lumbo brick, etc, and I got this half brick (I assume bricked as a lb, or doubled up for a key) of FUNK. VERY commercial spot, so I DOUBT that suppliers changed on the regular, and how many 'distributors' are buying from the Dominicans AND the Appalachian farmer??

Wax on dood. I'm gettin excited to get a new piece 2moro. This MAY become a trend. The flea market has a bunch of booths, and I bought this spoon ~6 months ago; while I STILL HAD a piece...

PS - Shanti, I doubt you'll see this, but I need extra income, you OBVIOUSLY (lol) need a guy to maximize your EXISTING exposure hehe. C'mon. The dogs know not to mess with the plants.

 

[JessE]

Whoa, Whoa, Whoa. MNS has corporate partners??? I NEVER KNEW. .

Im not so sure they are corporate partners, been when you log on to the main Mrnice.nl page occassionally you can see a banner that states MNS supports Roor.

Good enough for me

Appalachian farmer??

Spphh, those guys dont grow marijuana up there in them hills. Yer crazy

 

[barletta]

Don't worry, hillbillies can't even turn on a computer, let alone install tor and cruise the forums. And us city folk would NEVER get our hands dirty in the woods

Besides, I believe it's them THAR hills???

Well if they bought a banner, they could sponsor a contest every few months, lol!

Hey I shouted out the Dominicanos, you think I'm worried bout my neighbors...

 

[redeye24/7]

Hey hey hey

Right where are the Cookies, put brew on, I'll try a Barletta Blunt please

peace Dancin Dude

 

[barletta]

I got a grinder, and they got me. The booth has some of the best glass prices that I've seen outside of hippies with a foam cases at shows, but they BANGED me on this grinder. I was thinking ~20 bux for a decent aluminum grinder with a screen. I don't know why, but 20 seemed right. I asked the girl working if they sold them, as I didn't immediately see them. She pulls out a tray with 4 or 5 anodized grinders marked 50, an unfinished one marked 48, and a bunch of acrylic ones for under 20. I was sort of in shock. Well, no steamroller this week... I wanted to bring a few cookies to barter with, but the fleamarket is full of cityfolk on the weekend, so no reason to sketch anyone out. I noticed that the anodized grinders were machined VERY well, no binding, and the threads were very clean and everything fit very well. I offered 40, and chica says 45. I ask if she can do the unfinished one for 40, and she says sure. The unfinished one was binding enough that I was picturing all of these aluminum shavings in my 'rolling mixture'. BOOM 45 friggin dollars later. I did notice that the aluminum teeth have bevels in em like lil blades. It works VERY well, and unlike the plastic ones, no static to keep all of my trichs. Is a 'sharpstone' a real brand?

Here is my 30 dollar bowl and 45 dollar grinder. I would have figgured it the other way 'round, but I guess 'it all comes out in the warsh' as my old man used to say.

Here is the Indy SuperSpice coming out 2moro AM. 65days.

A shot of the 'tweener' SuperSpice, I THINK 'B' pheno. 70 days, needs 10 more.

Got fans? It was UNREAL until they dried. LOL, like a cheech and chong movie. Gonna turn em to dust, add em to the soil/rootballs from ~10 gallons, and into the compost pile to be turned into fans again next year!!!

Hey, FUCK (yeah, I spelled it) the haters in the anti-MMJ camp. I have a wisdom tooth that is growing ~90 deg into my back teeth. I saw the xray a few yrs back when I had the other removed, but I didn't have whatever it was at the time (either the time/ins/deductible) to get gassed and have em both taken. Like an ass, I just had the one that was rotten and throbbing, and said, "No, I'll wait till the other one feels like this too, and end up spending more overall with more pain and time lost. Let's get this baby out..." ANYWHOO I grind my teef in my sleep, and last night, I fucked myself pretty good. I don't like eating pain pills, cause I figgure that they will be more effective on the headaches if I have NO tolerance. So I was just dealing today, walked by the dish of cookies, and grabbed a lil 1. It tasted REAL oily, but it was a lil 'nugget' cookie. As I re-size the pix, and uplaod/post here, the cookie kicked in, and I can only feel pain in my mouth if my teeth touch. It either numbed the pain, or reduced the swelling. Oh that's right it makes your eyes red, it must be illegal. Ever see somebody on xanax drink a few beers? Check their eyes.

 

[JessE]

Looking real good Barletta

Im sure you will get some good mileage out of your grinder. I dont have any neat toys like that, just a brass bowl, some bud and a lighter. If you keep taunting me with your fancy gadgets, I may have to break down and get some of my own haha. Do you use "glass screens" with your bowl above?

Old School

 

[barletta]

Yo red, J

I am a minimalist down deep, but I LOVE TOYS. I just am too cheap to ever spend money on myself. 250 order online for the ladies, I won't bilnk. 60 bux for 2 new pairs of jeans? Maybe next wk (been saying that for 3 yrs now...). A glass bowl is a MUST have for me. Even if it is a lil piece of shit, glass is the way I do it. I take big rips, and metal has a way of heating up. Plus glass cleans easier IMO. C'mon dude. Don't smoke the best weed that you can get through a brass piece. LOL, support RooR and get one!! I see nice thick lil bowls for 10-15 at the fleamarket. What is a pack of boomers?

I HATED on my lil sis' boyfriend for using a coffee grinder to whack up his buds. When they weren't home, I had no problem grabbin lil dots of kif to top my weed with... I put a lil Orange D bud in my grinder with a SuperShit bud when I got home. 2 lil '1/2 turns' and the bud is broken PERFECT. There isn't kif all stuck to it like I expected either. I looked online, and I could have saved a few bux, or gotten a lil more (extra 'screening chamber', cool lil hash press) for my money. I do feel better knowing that I paid for a brand name, though. Like I said, it is a well made product, but has to be 40 cents worth of aluminum (maybe 80cents, 2 elbows...). I'm sure that I'll love it, and recommend them after 2wks or so of having it. Girl looked BLOWN away when I didn't want the cloth case that it came with - "But it's FREE!" um, free junk is still junk honey. Then she tried to put it in a plastic shopping bag. Some hippy! Um, I have a sweatshirt and carpenter pants on (pockets), no bag...

I'll get crackin on the "2-bag lazyman's hash how to"

EDIT - No screens of anykind. I use weed for a screen when I smoke hash :-0

 

[Greenmoon]

Hiya b


is indy spice down mate?looks awsome!.hows the aroma ?how many days do you flush such plants?...soryy i'm asking all the questions today

[barletta]

Gm - No problem, holmes! The SuperSpice (indy pheno) is 65 days after today, and I like to slide the plants outta the grow room after lights out, and leave em till the next day sometime (~20 hrs) in the dark. I do that to ensure that the 'starches' remain towards the roots/stems where they go during the dark (to my understanding), and not the leaves/flowers where they go during the "lights on". I don't really 'flush'. I feed mostly through dry ferts and topdresses, with 1/2 and 1/4 shots of PBP/AgeOld every now and then. I feed molasses and a splash of EJ bloom at every feed until ~3wks before harvest. I will feed each plant either B-1 red or Liquid Karma 4-5 times to this point in flower (I throw it in 'whenever'). I don't topdress after ~6wks, and I don't give any N in dopdress after ~4wks. I will throw kelp (1-0-2) at a hungry plant that doesn't respond to a pbp/ao shot (1-4-5 and 5-10-5 respectively). For the last 3 wks, I feed EJ bloom 1/2 strength for 10 days with molasses, and the last 10 days LK (~7ml/gal - a 'quart' capful) and molasses (1-3 tsp).

That plant has way more soil than most of my plants (4 gal vs 1-2 gal), but was aggressive, needing water (molasses, EJ, whatever) every 3-4 days. I am not too good with smells (which SUCKS, as that is prolly my fave thing about growing), but she stinks AWESOME. She smells like the Spice (burning rubber/skunk/tropical smoothie) and an RKS or Garlic bud or something got together. It is a heavy, stinky FUNK. No haze or 'sweet' fruit. Like fueley skunky funk. No 'astringent'. Nothing 'clean' or 'pleasant' about it, but I REALLY like the smell, and I took the seedplants before I wanted to, so I think this will be FIRE. Vegged ~2wks outside this summer in a solo cup, and ~2wks in that pot. I am thinking 2+ oz, and hoping for 3+. I'm SURE thatI'll have some dried shots, cause these plants (SuperSpice) are FROSTY.

On a side note, I really think that my SSH male from the winter/spring was a STUD. Every plant he fathered so far has been DRIPPING in resin, and they all carry their own OFFICIAL funk. This SuperShit drying is unreal. The haze effect (haze smell when you come into a smoked in room) is stronger than ANYTHING that I've smoked, including pif and SSH. I am not going to sample the SuperShit that I took Oct 7 until it's ready. The 9/30 buds BLOW my mind.

The ssh male that I have now looks to be quite indica structured compared to his bro/sisters. He is going purple early (cool), but was a lil 'hit' from the fukked up soil mix (sensitive). No distinguishing smell, but the flowers are coming QUICK.

I think that I have 1 confirmed male G/Sk (the most badass plant), and 1 confirmed female Shit. These 3 of each will all get together to start my own 'Jumble Skunk' project. If I get a really stand out male, I may hit up some other plants. Put a nice big iffy former-mom in with the last SuperSpice the other day, and re-potted em 2day into 2gallons.

Hey the reason I got to thinking about this grinder was cause I still have 70g+ of Jungle B, and more drying. I just hit up some AB strings (can't call em buds, lol), and this thing is worth the money. I felt so bad finger fukkin all of those frosty stems, and just 'laying' the strings out led to ugly (but smooth burning) blunts. This grinder just unleashed some KIND smells from those buds - citrusy, sandalwoody, spicyvanilla. It also mashes up but doesn't destroy the bud like I've seen the plastic/electric grinders.

EDIT - I don't have anything in a 1/2 gallon...
