I always keep the raws on me πͺ
Yβall must be evil, you need to talk to Jesus Christ and get saved and thank him for saving you from hell
The best papers ever, and it is clear why.
I am a 65 year old grandpa. Been smoking since 1977 summer. I am not a big smoker.
I just started growing weed. Started with 8 seeds in 8 .. 2-3 gallon pots.. not sure what size.. all 8 seeds took off in a spare closet. 4 x 3 .. 3 wide ., they got 5 feet tall but didnβt branch out they were crowded.. I love the best va light for the veg stage.. itβs idiot proof and Iβm an idiot.. my soil is 2/3 miracle grow and 1/3 worm castings., donβt laugh., my soil is too tight.. I donβt have any p h or water meters ., I just water by feeling the soil.. my fertilizer is Home Depot organic fertilizer.. alphalpha, fish? And kelp.. I bought a mars 4×4 grow tent and put the 8 plants in there.. they are still barely trainable in my netting..,will veg a couple more months.. and flower for 6-8 weeks?
Not a big fan of the mars 2000 grow light.. lots of heat ., and Iβm running it on 40 percent.. man you canβt beat the best va lights in veg..
my next grow I will get looser soilβ¦
Please advise?
Gramps first grow

Keep innovating Josh Kesselman,

I miss raw black organic. Can't wait to get some ethereal.
Josh seems like a cool dude and I love raw I have the raw life grinder by far best grinder iv ever had
The seeds y'all sell suck!
I was a bit unsure how this would roll what with the business controversies over the years but Kyle really brought out the fun side in this interview and that's what it's all about for many of us in the community
Love this channel
I don't know if I just got some bad batches, but the Raw papers I've bought in the last few years refuse to stay glued. I had to switch to JβB.
dude brings in 120million a year wish i could get some of that but who knew papers would be so good lol
Josh cut a thin strip on end of the loader to fit in the end of the cone maybe like the plastic loader fits in the end of the cone's πβ€
I love raw paper's best on the planet hands down β€β€ respect n thank you Josh ππ»ππ»ππ»ππ»
The new weed nerd! Elon musk of the natural world!
