and the lady said he doesn’t have any herb, so I said “Yeah?”
then how come I saw him acting and talking like he has herb?
The lady said she saw one little herb plant in the yard
You might get your one gram off it
One gram yield
So I told her to get like what I have
when this herb is coming up Matthew
she should get some of the seeds
and plant them because these are just 3-month herb and won’t grow too fast
See those guys?
Those guys only smoke some fertilizer herb
[Rasta, you’re rubbing it out in your hand]
You know what my friend did? He put fertie on his plants
They were growing very nice
and he put so much he burned them, so all the hairs turned, like
Black Black, yeah
And that herb, Matthew
if you want a herb spliff
If you want herb Matthew
and that friend ... is it the one you showed me?
That's the one I showed you the picture of
So, he only did it on a few of the plants, to test
but, yeah, it f**ked up three of the good ones
Yo man
If that man offers you herb, don’t take it because
it will knock your whole bloodclaat head right off
Fertilizer herb is no good
You know?
I’ve seen one time when I thought fertilizer herb was good
It’s no good at all, but when it’s short days, like, November, December
and you’re blazing natural herb, like... like
Alright
November, December is a hard month. Cold. The time is cold
so you want the ganja to move. To speed up
That’s when I’m saying you can use it
The bamboo I told you I was going to chop down at that place Matthew
Up top there, yeah
I want to grow some short day herb up there
some wicked green skin short day
But I’ve found out that
Any seeds?
I thought you saw a seed for a second. You just stopped in your thoughts
I was like, oh, what happened?
Hey, what happened?
Oh yeah.
Seeds like f**kery
Quite a few, yeah
Ya man, and they’re black
The black ones. The good ones, right?
Ya man
Ratty. Turn it down man
Turn it off
You can’t see us doing somethng and come here with that foolish idea Ratty
I got some pictures from my friend, too, so
There he is with his yields
Is that the herb there?
Yeah
All of them are ganja?
Yeah
Where he’s standing? All of back there you’re showing me?
So in the bucket ...
All of them? in the back no that’s pine tree, pine trees.
Only them right here
How many trees are here? One in a bucket?
Yeah, he's got a bunch in the bucket it looks like
Good size Oh, young suckers
They’re suckers, right?
And then that's
in the bucket, that’s a little better shot, and then
Oh, he just found a bunch of mushrooms too
and then I was like, look at this one
You guys are doing the same time
This one is pretty, let me see this one
Yeah. That's the one of you I got yesterday
Looks good, yeah
My God It's a great shot
The ganja is pretty to Rastafari
The man must be saying those guys are something. Hear that?
Those guys are so serious
It’s seriousy as tall as you
My God
Yeah, it's a great shot The ganja is pretty as f**k Matthew
Especially when you've got it all cleaned up and
prepared too cleaned up an pretty like that how it’s prepared
Yeah, it's, like, ready to go
What about the ones you took in the bush here? These ones
Oh, I got some good shots of that, too. Not on the phone though
Oh
but on the video, and then
I have a video from Shaun. Yeah, this is the one
that I think I played you yesterday
Play!
[Happy harvest Matt and Mokko!]
He feels goos as f**k!
Some big buds and stuff
Yeah
That's Shaun. Big up Shaun
Shaun and Jenny, my friends since grade one
Yeah
Yeah, wait till
I did take some awesome video of the one in front of the house
When we do a house tour video
that's when we’ll show that plant off, it'll be wicked
People love to see that
I swear you'll get so many guests just from having the one big plant
in front of the house To bloodclaat
When they come they’ll say “Mokko, you cut down the ganja tree”
I’ll say “Boy, every morning I come and praise God”
Every time you see that one
If you watch, every morning you’ll see Mokko standing there
smoking a spliff and looking at it like this
See? The girl came over there when Sunrise came to the yard
and came and said
Mokko, why are you in the bush over here hiding and smoking your spliff?
I said I came to pray over my herb as a meditation
Yo, don’t touch my herb leaf
Don’t break it
Anybody could pass and not see you in the little bush here
Yeah, it looks crazy. It’s so big man
Man, it’s like God has blessed me this year to bloodcleet
Jah knows, star
I wouldn’t mind if it was there forever, but it can’t be there forever, but
if I get any seeds from it
Those same seeds will come back for sure
It must give me some seeds Matthew
Even if it’s one
Oh, you always get one, yeah, at least
I’m not looking to get just one, I’m just saying, but I know I’ll get seeds from it
even if it’s one or two
[No, maybe it will give you six]
So when you plant seeds ...
I f**ked up my crop this year by planting two [and] I got two males
I didn't know they were males till way late
because I don't really know what I'm doing
So are you able to tell quite early when you're growing from seed
which ones to kill and which ones to keep?
How do you tell the male ones when they're so small?
Oh, alright
You see like those there now?
These, when you see them growing like that
The woman ones grow f**king straight
straight like an arrow like that tree there
and it doesn’t do anything else, and it doesn’t spring
any little buddy buds around it
little buds like how you can see that one has buddy buds
Yeah The mad one must grow fast and tall
But I thought the males did that
There were four in there Matthew, and I took out one
One was going mad, and I said “oh, let me take it out”
but then, if I didn’t know, I’d have left it in there to f**k up all of them
to get the strain of the herb
but I took it out, so over there is all virgin herb
Sunrise said if he had that herb
every time he would cut it
Anytime the people want herb, and he knows people are coming
Matthew
A girl
came there
with [over] $1000
over $1500, $2000, US$20
to get some of that herb
I sowed that herb in June
That’s quick. Well, I guess yeah same as our season
Maybe a little shorter
The woman came way from Dunn’s River Falls to take pictures
just to take pictures of this ganja
For real Matthew, they can’t believe this
Yeah that one's crazy
Ya man, everybody
That wins the award
Some award-winning herb
Man, people come and look at that every day
everywhere thay talk about that one ganja tree
What kind of ganja could it be?
The man told me I wouldn’t get any seeds, but
I have some seeds right now from them
I have some seeds
[Shanell?]
right now
[I see you]
[Shanell hasn’t come back]
[So who is that walking there?]
[Caney. Shanell’s gone to buy credit for her phone]
Ya man, I will soon plant some of those in the bush Matthew
to get maybe a hundred of those trees
Yeah. Imagine a field of those
A jungle
In the jungle
An herb jungle. You wouldn't even see it
You couldn't tell nothing, it would just look like the forest
Yeah, it would look wild
Ya man
No houses around. You’d just find it there in the bush, growing like hell
all around surrounded by bush. When the breeze blows, it doesn’t affect it
You know who I’d want to see this type of wicked man herb?
Peter is who I want to see this wicked man herb that’s growing now
Even this one here. Peter must ask “Matthew, is that normal?”
When you tell a man that it’s just 3 herb trees in there
a man would have to look and ask “Is that normal?”
I don't think so. I’ve never seen anything like that
Yeah, I don’t think they would believe you Matthew so easily
But what they might believe you is to see the buds
But a man would say “Really? It’s taller than the house”
and it’s full of buds
What kind of herb is that?
Ya man
Yeah, that's the crazy thing about it is
you didn't even put fertilizer, no fancy s**t, it’s natural right?
Yo, that’s what I want you to know
Look
All these bananas that you get to eat, brother
From this farm, a man can trust Mokko
Every food that this man plants he never puts even a tip of fertilizer
This man is just lucky. Look at those cucumbers there
A man might look at them and say they’re full of fertilizer
No fertilizer Matthew. I don’t use those things. This man is just lucky
because when I sowed these
because I sowed some before and they died
and I said to Ratty rain is falling and I won’t give up the fight
and we went and dug it up, me and him
And we plant
and we took some out of them
and brought them around there
and then they came out really good too
Yeah
And we took out [some] and left three. Four
And the next middle one, I considered that, boy, I didn’t know if it would work out
but I’m going to leave three in it
See those three there
and I don’t believe that people think that’s normal a bloodclaat
Jah knows. If you tell a man, yo brother, look at this
It’s higher than the house dimensions. What do believe [he’d say]?
What do you believe? The guy said it comes from Russia
Russian herb? I never even heard of Russia as a big ganja place either
That’s where he said he brought it from in a pretty little white thing
and said “Mokko...”. When me and Danny were going out he said to me
“Mokko, I’ve got a surprise for you. I know you’re going to like it”
When he came he gave me two of those little ...
Donna knows them too. One is here and it’s in my house. I know where it is
but I’m going to sow it in October
One of the same ...
He brought them in some little shiny things Matthew
Yeah
Some little things that seal
Ah, ok. Travel easy
Yeah
and when he traveled he told me he has a big
exciting thing to show me and tell me and so on
That was the herb. He said, “They won’t grow any seed Mokko”
I said, how are you bringing foreign herb that won’t give any seeds brother?
He said, “You’ll see how they grow, but they don’t make seeds”
See them there to bloodclaat
And then again, how I knew that it was a different type of herb Matthew
They bud from the top. That long one there, if you look
The big green one, when you look back out there
Yeah
Look at where you see it budding from
It buds from the top down All the way down
Ah! A ten-foot cola
I’m not talking about the big, pretty one Matthew. The green one
Ah yes
It buds from the top down
Boy, if I had even twenty of them to Rastafari
Jah knows I could get many feet, many pounds
That's the funny thing
If the government saying, oh, you're allowed to have five plants or something
Okay, I'll have five of those, and end up with just pounds of herb
But hey
It’s that, Matthew
It’s that why I don’t kill it. I want the strain and I must get the strain
And when I get the strain, again
I’ll let it go mad
Let it grow some males and cross it
and get the strain with lots of seeds from it
But when I plant it I have to plant a good jungle
A cool, nice, level place, because I know where ...
like how that one there is on level land
Matthew, I couldn't believe it
I didn’t know that duirng the Covid virus, Mokko would get some damn good ganja
Big ganja. Every morning Mokko with his spliff looking at it just so
Mokko praying to his herb in the morning time
I didn’t go to any other one. Just that one and Mokko in the early morning time
Yeah
And these here
These here, actually. You see how they’re black?
Yeah
These are sown [here]
...
this is the herb that the Sunning Hill men plant
The guys in the area here
This is the herb that they plant
But you know what I’m going to do now with this?
I’m going to block this with some form of zinc
and make the herb sensi up
Let them bud up. Because see this one is budding
Yeah, yeah
[I see a piece of thing that Caney and you left there that you cut off]
A piece of thing. Solitex
Come show me the big one so people can see what we're talking about
I’ll make my spliff. I’ll make my spliff and come around there
Ok
Ya man. Every morning Mokko goes over there to pray
What the hell ... now?
Ah
Hey, Matthew. I have some other one too
and I took the to the bush, but not this side
But that’s our same Jamaican one
Nice
Goats and other things ate them off
What?
Damn, they eat
everything
Destroyed them. Around the other side, over there
You see where I dug up and sowed those there?
Where you saw me cutting them out of?
Where we went the other day. That’s where I sowed them
and I sowed some behind
And when I saw the goat getting wicked, I got wicked on its owner
and said, “Man take it from there man, because I’ll kill you and its bloodcleet”
Jah knows star, I don’t play those things with no man amd my little bush
My little bush so nice
Can’t let a man’s goat come and kill it in the Coronavirus here brother
I want it to smoke
And the this is this. I don’t like to smoke [just any] ganja
As you see me here now
I’m giving you a spliff
It’s good
You know where it grows
but you and I don’t know
when we f**k around ganja from out there
But you go to my bush and see how the herb grows
and this man won’t put fertilizer on his ganja
He just wants his strong, nice powerful ganja
to smoke with grabba and some cigarette and sit on his corner
That goat thing's crazy though
I wonder if they got messed up At six months?
Eating all the ganja, young ganja plants
I don't want to ruin anyone's plants by having a goat eating all their stuff
Boy ...
They came there and mashed them down. They didn’t eat them Matthew
Until this time here, I have my corn and my peas Matthew
and nobody respects people who do their work
to survive
And it’s not even him [the goat] I want to kill
It’s the owner. I want to chop him in his face
A goat doesn’t know what he’s doing. He’s an animal
It’s the man who is raising him who needs a slap in his face big man Yeah it’s not his fault
Cows and goats don’t know what they’re doing
Yeah, they’re just being cows and goats
As a man you must know your cow or donkey or whatever
and don’t let him go in Rasta place because he’s dead if we catch it
If a hog or goat or cow gets caught in his place
and nobody is with them they get chopped up wicked
That's why
a whole heap of guys work on the
Lord God. Hey
Hey
Have mercy
Lawd-a-mercy
[Grandpa your phone is ringing!]
[Yes sir, yes sir]
