Apologies, Excuses, Photos
August 5, 2011 § Leave a Comment
I know. We’ve been terrible blog-keepers. Succumbing to humdrum of endless caffeine, late-night work sessions, to-do lists and their ilk…we’ve lost a little drive. But, momentum seems to be gaining! Just last night I saw jack scribbling notes about the oft-ignored Indica Dominant, Original Chronic.
Anyhow, in place of any literary substance I will once again throw the new photos up here to appease the patient reader. Hope it serves has some sort of consolation.
Love Always, Space_Cake

GreenHealth Cooperative was kind enough to drop off some samples for the Journal to assess and document awhile back. after a perfect day on Madison Beach with good friends I came home and put together a smoke report on their two representations of Blackberry

3 Tables at the Farmer’s Market
April 14, 2011 § Leave a Comment
Ah yes, the Cannabis Farmer’s Market. Knotty came by my house for a sample of his newest, White Rhino, and we were on our way. Here are 3 tables that caught the eye.
A great co-op that the journal has mentioned before. Last I visited CEG for their tasty and stupefying Caboose, but really fell in love with the uplifting hybrid, #5. A couple of weeks later the owner came by during a photo session with Knottyy, leaving a huge nug (7.2g) of Hawaiian Skunk on his way out. This monster bud was bursting with a tropical bouquet dominated by pineapple. I smoked it daily for an uplifting, top to bottom stone.
Today we took a look at some of their top genetics, G13 and King Kush.
- King Kush
- A beastly nug of G13
My take home? Ken’s GDP, the only varietal to break a 10$ donation on this stellar menu, pictured below. Ken’s Grandaddy Purple (GDP) from Cutting Edge was a great representation of what the strain could do, a decent cure, great handling and wonderful attention to detail in preserving the Grandaddy’s tranquil smoke

Seattle Cannabis Journal has welcomed local photographer Knottyy to its pages. The great afternoon of good smoke & friendly conversation that was the Farmer’s Market write-up demanded a second collaboration. It was decided an afternoon documenting multiple grows from a single gardener would be just the thing.
Here we have Demosthene’s representations of Diesel, Kush, and Rainbow.
We hope you enjoy this project, as it was truly a pleasure to create.
DIESEL
We pegged Diesel as the first course. The foundation laid down by this smoke was a great jumping off point for both Kush and Rainbow. Given our day’s task we tread lightly when using the water pipe. These hits still provided a trace of the glowing excitement and focus that began guiding our conversation.
It was not hard to discern an astringent leaning cedar kept earthy by deep spice. A nostalgic scent, but not necessarily the robust fuel we expected from the Diesel family-this was a more nuanced approach. The second exhale had a lip-smacking finish with great sustain on the palette, leaving ample time to pick it apart. A second toke locked in cedar, but pulled detail out of the spice. I detected cocoa.
Ten minutes after a few tokes in place, we were hard at work. Knottyy manned the photo area while I frantically scribbled notes on smell and dictated his occasional observations. The conversation pin-balled from our feelings on taste, sensory experience, and future collaboration. Throughout the buzz this multiple trajectory conversation was easy to keep up and productive. Knotty found that a few well-timed bowls could extend the peak, which eventually tapers into a soft glow with no hang-over.

The 12 Day Difference
March 14, 2011 § Leave a Comment
Chemdog #4. A potent smoke sought out by users for its dominating buzz that can range from supremely relaxing, to devastatingly cerebral. Hailed medicinally for its long-lasting pain management and insomnia aid. For some it can also offer relief from anxiety. A representative of Conscious Care Cooperative was kind enough to offer the Journal a sample of multiple grows, one pulled at eight weeks, the second at nine and a half, a premium grow according to CCC.
When comparing them physically, the eight week Chemdog (we will say 8wkCD) had a looser formation with broad leaves that parted from the body, hiding the inner bud. Observing trichome production with the naked eye on 8wkCD you can see a dusting of gauzy white resin, neatly arranged but sparse. At 60x-100x magnification slim bulbs sitting atop stumpy stalks of resin that had just begun to cloud became clear.
Chemdog #4 at 9 1/2 weeks
