    So you were a member for a year before getting your invite?  I’d sign up if it was a couple of months, but I have no other reason to pay for ps plus so it’s just an added cost of acquisition. 

    I mean I have had a PS+ acct for a while. Buy like a couple years worth when they go on big sale (33% off). I used the account on my PS4 while waiting. About to start over Last of Us 2 with the free graphics upgrade. Pretty amazing the publisher did that free upgrade (ahem EA).

  2. I lucked out recently. Bout a year a ago a coworker mentioned you can get on the Sony waitlist if you’re a PSN + member. Recently I received my exclusive offer to buy a PS5 of my choosing from Sony between 2-4CT (I’m in MT) before the remaining units were sold in the queue that everyone was waiting in. The graphics are amazing.

    Hell, we had all the A/C units in our house in Malaysia (one per room) set at 68 and slept under a down comforter and had condensation on the inside of every window back in the day when the company was paying for all the utilities...  :)

    Now that I think about it, maybe that's why they transferred me to Norway next...

    I don’t see Tanner Groves making much more of an impact than Manek. He got a good matchup with Kansas in the tourney and McCormack was uncomfortable guarding him on the perimeter. Not sad we missed, hope I’m not wrong.

    I like this take. Not to mention, I’m not so sure someone like Tanner Groves fits Beard’s style so much in that Groves sacrifices on the defensive end.

    Exactly. And it's a fee just to have the privilege to apply. You don't get it back, approved or denied. There were something like over 500 applications submitted for just 60 cultivation licenses. So 440+ people were pretty pissed off.
    I think the next round is different though, and set at a $10k application fee.
    More manageable, I think. At least if you have the backing to get started. I know a couple "good ol boys" that did just that in another state. Great guys, been growing for decades. They've had quite the challenges and struggles to get things going properly. Some of their problems could have been prevented if they hadn't got in a big hurry during the build out. A few others were more akin to the inherent possible problems from running on a large scale.
     
    But, they're also doing it right. They're a smaller, craft type grow with the right post-harvest procedures in place. Even so, it will take them a few crops to get everything dialed in and put something really nice out.


    That is a great story to hear. After being inspired by you and others that I’ve met during the pandemic on IG in the Denver area, I’m really just solidifying my dream that I have to give my best effort into growing the plant I love and making my own hash rosin. My Med card doctor when I met for card renewal a month or so ago was gonna be more than happy to give me an extended plant count by just asking me how many grams of hash I smoke a day haha.

    I figure if I tell him something like 2, which is an absolutely ridiculous hash rosin diet, but I know people here that smoke that much, he’ll write a script for like 24 or 30 plants for me. This would mean I could walk right into a dispo and purchase pounds of flower at once legally, if I so choose. OH THE LIBERTY.

    I think where I may start is a) growing directly for med patients who sign over to me so I can come up as a healer, for the culture, not the greed, especially considering hash rosin’s medicinal qualities being second to none, and b) trading with other growers to share our craft and continue to learn and network, not to mention smoke better than ever for close to free. Would love to somehow have a business out of it, but not sure how much risk I’d be willing to incur for the startup costs to be on the shelves in dispos.

     Unfortunately, there isn't room for "craft" grows right now. It's too cost prohibitive for a small grow op to put up the 100k application fee with no guarantee they would be approved. Someday there will be room though, and their products will put a dent in the commercial scale ops that are rushing out an inferior product.
    Probably my biggest complaint with the whole ordeal.


    Damn, 100k for an app fee? That’s a lot of BM product to move before you’re okay with that risk.

    I'm sure a local will be along with better recommendations, but I've shopped at several locations for The Green Solution around the Denver area and they've all be super helpful and had great products. Looks like there's one in Longmont, which isn't far from Loveland. There's also one in Glenwood Springs, which depending on your route is on the way to Moab. 

    Yes, Walmart does have a grocery store with produce, doesn’t it.

    I don’t know much about legal weed but I didn’t know they made 40mg gummies.  thought I’d heard that they couldn’t sell more than 100mg edible in a single package or something.  I mean I definitely heard that at some point but maybe it isn’t true.  I have an iron stomach and my edible tolerance is top 1% of 1%, good to know there’s stronger shit available.  

    I’ve seen medical gummies as strong as 50mg per for a package size of 1000mg. So could be commercially produced.

    Lately I’ve been increasing my quality of tastes in the concentrate game while not adjusting my flower purchases and my savings plan last month noticed. So we’ve pretty much adjusted to 95% dabs and last week I copped 7 grams of concentrate, 6 of which were solventless hash rosin for roughly $270 including tax. Not bad.

    Allow me to share with y’all the deals to be had:

    At AllGreens was able to cop 2 g’s of their Second Press rosin at happy hour (10% off $35) for $32 out the door each. Got GMO that looks first press and Strawberry Guava that still tastes delicious. Threw in a discounted g of Tropicanna 14er rosin for 10% off at $54 OTD.

    This past Sunday was able to cop at Solventless Sunday at Colorado Harvest Co where select rosin makers are 25% off. Got a g of Sunshine Extracts rosin that is dumb cheap at $36 OTD. They don’t put the ingredients on the package so while I get good and high and can tell it’s definitely Wedding Cake from the effects, I can’t tell from the taste which is a bit disconcerting. Was able to get 2 g’s of Olio rosin which I’ve been really wanting to try and I was able to get the premiums (higher micron) at $47 OTD with the strains Day Glow and Citrus Banana Bread. Both are amazing, but Day Glow is my new favorite sativa. Will be a big Olio repeat customer. Lastly, was able to get a Green Dot Labs Black Label g for no discount at $40 OTD, but for the strain Fatso #2 which is GASSSS. GMO x Legend OG. So fire. GDL is probably the best BHO producer in CO with a strain catalog that is only rivaled by 710 labs. Check out their site if you’re interested.

    hey if it’s been covered already in the past 19 pages, forgive me.  so I’m gonna be driving to crested butte next week and curious if the dispensaries in the shitty towns on the way are cheaper to any appreciable degree than the dispensaries in CB.  would I save any money doing my shopping in trinidad or walsenburg?

    I think it may really depend on what you’re after. If you’re just after edibles you could be paying as much as $5-7 more for the same bar/gummies. If you want to get good shit to smoke and drive as far north as Pueblo before going west, “The Dispo” and Doctors Orders there both look to have 🔥, The Dispo having SnaxLand. You’ll often times get taxed the further south you are because of the number of people who cross to buy and then go back home. WeedMaps will help you plan.

    I did a side by side comparison with smoking bud in a regular glass pipe and vaping bud in a Pax 2, today. I had never really used the Pax so wasn't sure how the high is. Contrary to what I have heard and read, the regular pipe hit me a lot harder and I think longer.
    I have also eaten gummies and vaped oil today, but I don't consider that a factor because both teams had to play in the same conditions.   

    I agree with that. In hindsight the Pax has a certain appeal, getting blasted isn’t it. Always felt it was a great discrete mobile device.

    Yesterday it finally happened. I was able to purchase some Rosin from the most highly sought after manufacturer of Rosin in the state of Colorado and California.

    They sell their Hash by tiers. Those are both Tier 3 as seen on the right hand side. They have 4 tiers, 4 being the lowest. In general tiers are a combo of how high of a yielder the plant is and how good the flavor is. Persy means Personal Stash, or a higher shelf version of the same tier. Like the top 10-20% of that harvest for that cultivar.

     

    Ended up totally lucking out. Just randomly checked a dispo’s online menu that I frequent for top shelf flower and they were available for purchase in their online store and sold out within 30 minutes of me buying mine with absolutely no announcement. Crazy.

     

    The flavor is good. I will reserve judgement until I’ve tried Tier 1’s and some crystal water hash where the flavor is supposed to be out of this world. The high is fantastic though, on both. I can honestly say it’s better than the Allgreens I’ve had in terms of just how hard it hits you. I will be checking out Lazercat, Mountain Select and Olio in future hash adventures.

    Dude 175mg HOLY FUCK MAN!!! That’s a shit ton! I’m a heavy ass smoker and it takes 40mgs to fuck me up

    Breeder: Ace
    Strain: Killer A5 Haze
    Genetics: A5 Haze by Nevil (Northern Lights #5/HazeA) x Malawi Killer
    Type: 80 % Sativa / 20 % Indica
    Indoor/Outdoor
    Flowering Time: 63 - 84 Days
    Yield: Very High
    Aroma: Meaty, Liver, Haze, Floral, Rotting
    Effects: Trippy, Narcotic, Giggly, Sedative
    CBD: 0%
    THC: 23 - 30%
     
    “The scent is very complex and includes a deep, incense/Haze quality along with that of meat, rotting/organic notes, compost, resin and seasoned wood. Terpenes found are myrcene, limonene and beta-caryophelene. THC production varies between 23% - 30%, the latter figure believed to be the maximum that cannabis can produce. Its effect is definitely not for the novice or the faint-hearted. It is incredibly strong and psychedelic in character, utterly trippy with commensurate alterations to perceptions including visual, auditory and tactile changes. The disassociative psychedelic phase leads into one of hilarity before eventually becoming very heavy and narcotic. The inexperienced smoker will not be able to handle it, treat with caution!”
     
    So there’s that. Been looking for that for a long time. I always seem to miss it being in stock; it sells fast. 
     
    Well, say no more. Say no more. 
     
    Now to find a slot for it that isn’t a year out. 
     
     
    Since I was ordering, also picked up Golden Tiger (ace), Candyland and Granddaddy Purple (Grandaddy Purple, aka Ken, the original breeder), Strawberry Cough (Dutch Passion), and OG Kush (Blimburn).
    Not that I needed more seeds, but whatev. 

    I’ll remember that if I ever see it. Sounds like a fun one and that terp profile when done well is so fire.

    Finished up drying/trimming a batch of Night Queen, bred by Dutch Passion, this past Friday. Couldn't help it and had a sample. Ho. Lee. Fuckballs. It hasn't even cured yet and is already fucking fire. I'm pretty sure only dogs could hear me I was so freakin high. A local shop had a little thing going on over the weekend where they had on-site testing with a free test, or if you spent X amount of $, you could get a few more. So, what the hell right? Took a bud of the Night Queen down there and she tested at 26%. This is uncured, so it's going to get even better over the next 6 weeks and beyond. Once cured, she'll probably tip out closer to 30%.

    Wow. I mean just wow. I did something right on her, that's for sure. Definitely impressed, to say the least. So much so that I'm going to be pushing another run of her into the first open spot I can find. Amazing plant. Not the highest yielding one out there, and she doesn't seem to put out giant tops, but all the nugs are dense, solid, and most are quarter to golfball size, give or take. A little bit of larf off the very bottom, but not much at all. Took the larf and squished it just for shits and grins. I should have clipped it before drying, froze it, and turned it into bubble hash to then squeeze into live rosin, but whatev.

    Just putting a solo gal into flower starting tomorrow, which will be the first open spot I have coming up, which should put it about mid-October before I can start in with another Night Queen. Either way, she's absolute fire. Great nighttime strain that's a heavy, relaxed body buzz with a gentle of floaty head buzz to her. Hope I can keep off it enough to get it through the cure. Right now I just wanna smoke the shit out of it. Dry weight came out to just under 9oz, so not bad. Not killer, but respectable at least.

     

     

    Congratulations! I can’t imagine how fulfilling that must be.

    Have been trying out a new rosin place. You’d walk right by it trying to find it your first time. Small batch outfit putting out a really high quality product for a fair price.

     

    I picked up a couple regular live SHO’s earlier this week, but was too quick to try to take pics. I ended up finding out about their 2nd Press. It doesn’t look as light as the 1st press, but damn is it an amazing value. $31 OTD during their Happy Hour for 2nd Press vs $45 for live SHO. They apparently only squeeze out a couple of extra grams of second press, so it’s not like it’s not flavorful.

    I run through a couple of grams a day, maybe 4 or so. If I'm not doing shit and can use my volcano, then it's less. Using my one hitter I'm actually using more. Needless to say I stay high and have been smoking for a long time. 

    Right on. Same here. 15 years smokin or so. I’m not in an individual contributor role, so I don’t get to work from home stoned, but I probably still smoke 2-4 J’s at night. On the weekends though I’m probably burning 4-8 J’s a day. A half ounce in a weekend is not that hard for me to smoke lol.

    Rainmaker- really smooth and strong hints of spice. Gives a really nice creep up and sends tingles.

    Pink cookies- supposedly the same as wedding cake. I say supposedly because it doesn't look the same as what I've seen but tastes and hits pretty similar. Super sweet and hits rough.

    I think Wedding Cake may be a specific pheno of Pink Cookies. Dude probably has some beans from a different pheno.

    I wouldn't say it's necessarily counter intuitive, but maybe.

    For home crafted edibles it's difficult to get right on it, but you should be able to get close enough to have an idea of what you're consuming. It's not super hard math by any means. Whatever the thc percentage of the material, it's per gram. So if we have a gram of good flower that's 22%, we know there is about 220mg of thc in that gram. Same for wax, rosin, shatter, oil, hash, or whatever.

    Take bubble hash for example. Good bubble hash should be right around 60%. So that gives us 600mg/g. Good rosin should be 70%-80%, outlier cases of a little higher aren't out of the question.

    To get my range for potency, I first measured the amount of liquid each mold shape can hold. My biggest one (swirl top) holds 10ml, next biggest (bottle cap shape, not in the above pic) holds 8ml, and the sharks are 4ml. The old lifesaver shape/size molds hold 2.5ml.

    Next, I knew how many I had of each shape from the batch (77 total: 25 sharks and 52 swirls), so could figure out the total volume from there. ((25x4)+(52x10) = 620)

    Rosin should be 70%-80%, on occasion a goof could make it 60%. I seriously doubt mine is on the lower end of that range, but it's a good place to start. So for 4g of rosin, I should have a total of somewhere between 2400mg and 3200mg of thc in the mix.

    From there, it was taking total mg of thc and dividing it by the number of ml of the mix:

    @ 60% 2400/620 = 3.87mg/ml
    @ 70% 2800/620 = 4.52mg/ml
    @ 80% 3200/620 = 5.16mg/ml

     

    Now all that is left is to figure out the amount per mold size by taking the total mg of thc per ml and multiply by the number of ml the mold holds.

    4ml shark:
    - 15.48mg (60%)
    - 18.08mg (70%)
    - 20.64mg (80%)

    10ml swirls:
    - 38.7mg (60%)
    - 45.2mg (70%)
    - 51.6mg (80%)
     

    If I had used the same mix and filled the bottle cap mold, at 8ml capacity it would have come out like this:
    - 30.96mg (60%)
    - 36.16mg (70%)
    - 41.28mg (80%)

     

    That's about as accurate as you can get without knowing the exact percentage of what you started with. It gets you in the ball park, but that's about all. Enough to know you're within a certain range, and as long as it's not way whacked out (I have some molds for other stuff that are 100ml, 150ml, and 250ml) and you know your own range, you're good.

    Now if you started out with 4g of rosin from a dispensary, then you know where you stand. You know it's exactly X%, since it's been tested. That gets you significantly closer than having to go by a range. You can get home test meters, but they're expensive and not so accurate. It might narrow the range by half or a hair more, but that's not enough for me to spring for a test meter that's a grand or better, and not super accurate to begin with.

    I do find edibles and the process interesting overall though. You can do all kinds of shit. Pretty much anything you make you can add a special kick to. I tend to stick to gummies though. Mainly because I don't mind them, but I'm not going to go to chow town on them. Now a real nice chocolate or something? Yeah, I could see me getting peaked and munching out on more and more of those. Or brownies, or cookies, etc. I'll make a small batch of something like that now and then, but for the most part I stick to the gummy stuff. Better for everybody that way, and really why I've been on a potency hunt for the last few months. The less "candy" consumed to get me where I need to be, the better.



     

    I think your perspective of being more high, but not any more enjoyable of a ride than a lesser dose is pretty accurate. I haven't really messed with CBD much on its own. I gave it a shot a couple years ago, but it didn't really help/do much for me on its own. I do have a pack of a high cbd strain (Cream & Cheese) that's 22% thc and 18% CBD that I'm going to run at some point before too long. Might be one of the back half of winter runs coming up, but we'll see. I've looked at a lot of other CBD strains, but a lot of the ones targeted for CBD end up with way too little thc for me. Like 0.5% or 1% thc, and 8%-15% cbd, etc. I'm not going to burn a spot in a grow for something like that. It might be good for a salet, but if I want to find out I'll get something like that from a dispensary.

    I am kind of excited to see what that cream & cheese does though. From digging into it a bit, I bet it would mix great with the blue cheese I'm just dropping now.

    Strain genetics is another fascinating aspect for me. So many different ways to go about it, all with different outcomes. I think it would be fun to make my own seeds, but we're back to not wasting the few spots I have to grow to do something like that. Maybe I could do a partial reversal on a branch or two with the single plant in the 3x3. Wouldn't be great if I'm wanting to cross strains for something new, but for more of the same it would work. At least they would be feminized seeds, so there's that.

     

    The counter intuitive comment was really born out of an outsider looking in saying “aren’t you just trying to get high? I don’t think I could even do those maths!” As an engineer, the precision and accuracy being an important aspect of a plant and hobby that I love I think is really cool and probably yet another reason why I love it without consciously thinking about it.

    Regarding the CBD, what I’ve found is if I’m 3-4 hours into a sizable edible dose (>= 100mg), and I take what I now consider a booster 20mgTHC/20mgCBD gummy or 2, the high definitely changes a bit and gets reinvigorated with the CBD in the form of a very very nice body high. I don’t do this at the beginning because I don’t want to go to sleep and I only really do this when I’m taking edibles at night, but it is really nice. They say CBD is much more effective in concert with THC and I believe it, because if I take THC free CBD on its own, I get anti anxiety properties, but not a ton of pain killing at the doses I take. This is almost like the age old trick to drink orange juice toward the tail end of your trip, but works even better toward the body high end.

    I agree using up valuable plant space on something that doesn’t get you that high is hard to swallow. CBD can be fairly inexpensive these days if you went for a pure powder and somehow returned it to oil form. I don’t know specifics, but I think quite a few concentrate companies in CO do this in what they call a sap (combine a strain’s extract and the CBD extract from hemp)
