  1. Interesting. I read the composition of a couple of the simulants. They were inert wrt organic plant nutrients, so this demonstration of chickpea growth in an inert substrate with the addition of worm castings and beneficial microbes is not a revelation. It's not worth mention. aggy interest in space hummus is, though. But when they run short on tahini..
  2. Me too. Tell me how aggy simulated moondust is somehow relevant to the topic, though.
  3. This is hardly groundbreaking. Hydroponic plant culture using inert media like regolith has been in practice for decades. "Simulated" regolith is just some bullshit.
  4. For them, tampering is foreplay. Hitting the portal hard is what's important.
  5. She's the one who tells you where you can find the doctor of neighborhood.
  6. I may or may not have been under the influence of cannabis when i missed the 2022 proviso.
  7. Definitely not close to that. It's 50' wide, but under 2' deep for most of the year. When we get sustained rain on top of mountain snow pack, it shoots up more than 10' in a day and rages. Back in Austin in about '94 we got 7" in 2 hours and Bull Creek wiped out the bridge at 2222. We get about 8' of rain a year in the coast mountains, but never coming down nearly that fast.
  8. I inherited a BMW roadster, and I have a jacked up F-150, so I'm a double asshole. The lift is necessary in order to cross the river to my land in the summer.
  9. Things were just so different back then, you know, last month.

    What's your experience like with the autos? I've only run auto affie, many years ago. It was great for producing an early harvest, but that blasted plant would flower with even an hour of darkness a day, and took months to re-veg if the power went out for half a day. The other disadvantage is that it took a big investment of time and electricity to get the plant large enough to produce a good yield - the benefits you get for free with outdoor veg and early stretch from a conventional strain. I've had cops tell me that it's a violation of the law to "double crop" by using light dep or autos. They're obviously full of shit, but they claimed that plant count was an annual sum, not a snapshot in time.

    It's definitely not just a you thing. I have a friend who told me he's done every drug known to man, and the most uncomfortable he's ever been was after ingesting too much cannabis. He said he spent 2 days in a fetal position on a bathroom floor.

    Thanks. It's never happened to me, but I live in a remote mountain area. Most everyone who can grow does, but the culture around here where people have been growing outdoors since the 70s pretty much dictates that if you're planning to pollinate anything, you'd better do it in safe fashion and very early in flower. There are some idiots no doubt. I've heard of one case of active sabotage. Someone blasted a big legal rec grow with pollen using leaf blowers, or so I heard. At least they can make concentrates.

    That's actually where most of this goes. We can possess 8oz dried flowers per household in Oregon. A 4 plant outdoor grow that produces only 8 ounces could only be described as an unmitigated disaster. So I have friends over for harvest. A disabled Vietnam vet, an Iraq vet & his wife are the harvest crew. After it's all split up & spread to family, etc., everyone's in compliance. The weather can turn in a heartbeat in the PNW this time of year, but you want to run your crop as long as possible. Having a crew of volunteers to help on a moment's notice is great, and it saves me the work. Everyone wins.

    We harvested this plant yesterday, with one more to go today before the rains start back up. This is the end of the outdoor season here except for the most mold-resistant plants. Recreational has been a lot more fun to grow than medical. No spotter choppers or visits from deputies any longer since every household can have 4 plants.
  15. When the seed pods of papaver somniferum are maturing, make shallow cuts vertically on the pods. By the next day, the latex containing the alkaloids oozes out. Scrape it off with a razor, put a bit on a bowl of weed, and fire it up. It's very relaxing and produces some trippy dreams. I have a friend who keeps a coca plant as a houseplant. She makes tea from the leaves. It's a fun little buzz for about a half hour, but when it wears off, I get ridiculously hungry.
  16. We also had another ballot measure pass that legalizes psilocybin for therapeutic purposes. I voted for both. Opium poppies grow well here. Making raw opium is very easy.

    Anybody ever grow wildfire weed? Flames got within 20 miles of my house, and my crop is now covered in ash. I wouldn't be concerned if it happened close to harvest, because I hose harvested colas with water to wash off dust & dirt right after I pluck the fan leaves. But these plants won't be ready for harvest for ~3 weeks. A lot more flower material will be produced between now and then, so some of the ash will be trapped by the new material. I won't be making any concentrates out of this crop.

    I got the idea from a greenhouse grower of cut flowers. He'd toss all of his root wads in a front loader, dump them in a hopper that dispensed them onto to a conveyor that passed through a propane furnace. Result was low effort cleaning & sterilization, plus CO2 exhaust for the greenhouses. Can't beat that. What's the AN product? I haven't heard of that, but I'm not an AN fan. Does it break it down to increase surface area? I'm still using 15 year old intact hydroton.

    I've felt this pain, but with hydroton instead of perlite. To save myself the effort of rinsing & sterilizing, I put an old washing machine cylinder on a propane crab cooker. I'd typically process 15 gallons of dried out root wads in 20 minutes or so on full flame, stirring a few times until the roots were all ash. Rinse the ashes away, and the recycled hydroton is sterilized and ready to use.
  20. Multiple Ivy offers as well, so he's obviously a good student. He's student body president too.

    Jackie-O is a good one as well. Cali-O cross. I don't have any idea if it's in dispensaries, though
