So, I usually have a lot of surplus when my new crop matures. That’s when I toss the stuff in bags and give it away. I can’t sell it and I can’t consume it, so out it goes. Friends are usually receptive to the idea.

I read some time ago that dope begins to lose potency when it gets to be around 18 months old.

yesterday I read about the big worries that the Pfizer vaccine causes a specific heart condition for males younger that 40. That big news headline ignored the fine print: 12 people out of a population of TWO MILLION got the adverse reaction. In order to win a civil suit you would have to prove...

Pre-existing conditions. It’s not advisable to generalize about the effectiveness of any vaccine when referring to people with “pre-existing conditions.” We have no idea what those conditions were. If it was something like COPD, of course the effectiveness would drop. And “health experts” are...

IMO, it doesn’t hurt to bring them in early. The trichomes are what counts. Translucents are the purer THC compositions, milky whites are with some chemical transformations, browns are for couch cement. Early harvest means a good head buzz. It’s always a race against the cold, wet weather. I...

Yes. In theory. I've heard the theory, but I find that vaping uses more pot than smoking, and the effect of the vaping is slower, but hits just as strongly. I don't have to worry much about "wasting" pot, as I grow my own and have the stuff coming out of my ears. This contrasts with the years...

I read that harvesting before dawn decreases foul-tasting nutrients in the buds. I never read about an increase or decrease in trichomes. From what I understand, as darkness increases, the plant does a kind of shutdown in which nutrients descend away from the buds, but ascend when light returns...

Sounds like a good plan. Preventing them from multiplying should be the objective. I get protective with my plants, don’t want them to get “distracted” with defending against parasites. Just grow and flower, kids.

So... I'm just a private backyard (legal) grower, so I'm not attuned to adjusting pH, and adding/subtracting chemicals. So here's what I'd suggest: 1. Get rid of the whiteflies. Don't tolerate any parasites. Do it early. 2. Go to a local store and buy a few bags of clean topsoil. Transplant...

Thanks for your reply, all, and your comments. The YouTube tutorials seem consistent and the might be harmless. Those on the tutorials tell us that the dunking has to be done carefully and that the colas must NOT touch the sides of the washing or rinsing trays to protect the trichomes. So it's a...

Ok, folks. I just wandered over to YouTube and watched a few tutorials. I didn't know that bud washing was an actual "thing" until now. So there's the standard technique of baking soda and lemon juice following by a water rinse. I can see how this sequence would REALLY help in getting rid of the...

Well, you all must know by now that the news from western Oregon is smoke and lots of wildfires. For two days, everything was deep orange in color. Everything. Then we had a day or two of yellow. Both the orange and yellow days featured a light, nearly constant drifting of ash from the fires...

I keep reading about the advantages of vaping, but don't seem to appreciate them in real life. I've been vaping for about 3-4 years. Occasionally, I'll smoke from a joint or a bubbler. Here's what I've found: The cannabinoid hit from smoking is a "blamo". I get all of the compounds boiling away...

Thanks for the time you took to take a look at the photos. Yeah, I've been feeding them nitrogen, and I think they've maxed out on it. So I'm slowing down on the feeding. I'll be switching to some flowering food in about a month anyway. The wilting is due to the stem rot, which is eating the...

Okay, whoever is reading this, I have a rather pessimistic development. I found nearly identical photos from Cannabis Cultivation Network in 2014. THC Farmer tells us back then that it's a mold that likely is growing from the inside of the stem. That's bad news because a topical fungicide...
