^^^ that right there is the #1 reason I wouldn't bother ^^^
I try and stay well under the radar and plan to stay that way unless/until it's fully legalized, meaning I can grow what I need/want, not what some suit in a government office says I can grow. Not interested in being that red flag or random pick for inspection in a government database. They have as much information on me as I'm willing to give up, driver's license, passport, and tax account. Same reason I stay off that FB site.

Truer words never spoken. I got popped about 16 years ago and learned the hard way. Fortunately, it was fixable, although I still cant legally touch a firearm. I told myself, I would never ever consider crossing the line again. Just a patient now with some growing female company, livin life:blsmoke:

I got popped about 9 years ago, before I started growing. Pretty sure I was setup.
kept my gun rights luckily.Felonies dropped to misdemeanors after probation.
I go back and forth about if my state legalized or regulated if id apply. I also hate the idea of being in a database and any law enforcement being able to see it. But I would love to be "legal" and not have to worry. But once your in the system your in. I learned that 9 years ago. DNA and fingerprints permanently on file, fbi number, ect.
At some point people need medicine. If your not in a med state and have the skill set, its almost an obligation to provide clean safe medicine. Import stuff is so hit and miss.
Im also a rastafarian, with an inalienable religious right to cultivate. My state has a strong state constitution protecting religious rights, although I dont want to test it (well I kind of do).

GroErr your on point as always.
Look forward to watching what you do. Apologies for the rant.

Cheers @rocknratm no problem good discussion, sorry to hear about your situation, this kind of shit affects all of us. Even in legal states people are getting harassed for one thing or another and now you guys have that Trump wild card to deal with. We're supposed to be going legal up here and they're still busting dispensaries because they don't fit into the governments version of "legal". To me it all adds up to staying under the radar and continuing the fight for our right to grow until it's truly legal.

Yeah the science is there and makes perfect sense for CO2 supplementation. I personally wouldn't bother as I grow more than I need as-is and it looks like a pain in the ass, plus red flag (carrying tanks in/out of the house) and more work. The alternative imo is getting them as much fresh air as possible which I'm doing already.

the other option would be to purchase some mushroom grow kits.
a 5 lb oyster, lion's mane, or shiitake grow kit adds about a pound
of CO2 over 2 weeks. lots of positives to using mushroom mycelium
for CO2, you end up with some (1-2 lbs of mushrooms) food, can
add the spent substrate block to your soil, pleurotus/oyster mushrooms
are carnivores of nematodes, so it helps add complexity to the soil
food web, the medicinal aspects of the mushrooms, etc.

do i remember you saying you're in Canada? i have a few friends who
are commercial mushroom farmers that i could refer you to.

Does it work with the magic variety? Dual crops ;) I'm good but interesting didn't know about that, natural CO2 sounds better that a big tank with a red flag on it ;)

LOL, they might need an extra dog to warm up these days. :0)

You will probably find that they rock it and have a great time doing it.

Cubensis is another strong and easy grower, to be honest. They grow on
sawdust or straw as well and compost or manure. I will be making Shiitake
mostly as those we eat whenever I make them.

Last stop for the day in the breeding tent with the Blue Ripper male just about ready to start dropping pollen on the Blue Ripper F2/P5 and Harlequin at Day 19. They'll be well pollinated by mid to end of this week then I'll collect the rest of the pollen and chop the male next weekend.

need to shoot me some of those beans your making seems your finding some nice phenos! Your BRxBD looks like it's gong to be super frosty, shit it already is

That's a crazy frosty pheno, this is the 1st gen clone and looking good. I could have some F1's and BX that are just now ready to germ (PM). I hit that pheno from seed, back crossed to the original Blue Ripper male. I have the pollen out from an F1 BR x BD male to make some F2's :)

Ive always wondered but was afeared to ask... if you start a male and a female at the same time and they grow up together in the same garden.. the male must mature far more quickly, yes? So that the pollen can, fly and get the girls pollinated in time for them to carry the seeds to maturity, yes?

So does the time line look like... the males compared to the females?

Male plant will start making pollen sacs as soon as it's sexed and IME they show a little faster than the girls. I've heard it takes around 2 weeks for the sacks to begin to open. So by the time pistils are good and set the pollen will more than likely be out with more pollen sacs forming. I've never bred anything though, and cull males as soon as they are identified so my answer is just an educated guess so to speak, just wanted to add my 2 cents.
