Romney over Obama, 52/42 according to Rasmussen as of Thursday. I mean- c'mon; Arizona would sooner get rid of Arpaio than vote for Obama. Johnson's a good guy. If he gets into the presidential debates, he could appropriate votes from both sides of the fence- which is why the fight to keep him...

Plants can use sugars at the root level; dissolved in water, it's a liquid form of carbohydrates. In plant tissue culture, plants can get their carbon either in the form of gas such as carbon dioxide (a problem because the gas flow has to be sterile, so filters must be used), or in the gelled...

This is one reason why not to allow your ID number on your card get loose. Put a sticker over that part if someone is going to photocopy it. It won't stop someone who is checking the veracity of the card in an official capacity, but you never know if it might save your neck some other way.

Anyone grow Cannatonic?

FWIW, both Gary Johnson (was governor of New Mexico- used to be Republican, now on the Libertarian ticket in all 50 states) and Green party candidate (and physician) Jill Stein are in favor of legalizing marijuana. Johnson is polling around 5% nationally, and (because of the spectacular way the...

So- if one were able to breed for male/female by selecting dominant versus recessive genes, and "male-ness" came from recessive genes, then 1/4 of plants from seed would be male. The homozygous dominant plants (PP) would be female (also 1/4 by strict Mendelian genetics). That leaves the...

I was, but only because I had a friend asking for some. I didn't expect to find any, so I wasn't disappointed. Breeding doesn't seem terribly strong locally.

I just bought mine. Nobody had a bag, so I wrapped them in some ad I found, walked back to my car and drove home. Actually had some guy stop and ask me about the hours because his daughter would have shown up if she'd known about it. I showed up late, and selection was pretty crummy. No idea if...

No, this is not incorrect; re-read what I said: Once dispensaries open, "new cultivation" will not be permitted within a 25-mile radius. [...] However, it is expected that if you get a card that permits you to grow *now*, it will remain valid for cultivation until such time it expires (1 year...

If you have a card from the state of Arizona that permits cultivation, you may purchase plants. There are a number of ways to do this. 1) Phoenix Craigslist. Search for "clones" or MMJ clones or specific cultivars by name (Widow, Rhino, whatever) in the "For Sale" section of Phoenix Craigslist...

This is very complex; up until 2001, Tucson got all of its water from ~200 wells. Around 2001, they added in CAP water (canal water), which served a couple of purposes. The first thing is that it allowed them to shut down some wells that were already drawing down too much- after all, recharge...

I haven't had to use the handheld meters for a very long time; I really don't know what state of the art is at the consumer level. As an analytical chemist with extensive experience in water quality, I have access to much better stuff- for example, meters that can show the resistance of...

These are not the same thing. Distillation: the separation of water from dissolved solutes (salts, etc.) by vaporizing the water, and condensing the vapor. Deionization: the use of ion exchange columns to remove dissolved solutes. I've used these before to make ultra-pure water (better than 3...

It's useful to note that unless you're using very pure water, you're always going to have some starting concentration of salts in the water; just because it's RO doesn't mean PPM = 0. An old membrane (with a home unit) leads to higher dissolved salts. It is more useful to remember that less...

What it is is a link to Clinicaltrials.gov, which allows you to search for studies that are recruiting for marijuana studies. So, you need to search through thousands of clinical trials, find the ones that are studying medical marijuana, locate the ones that are in the recruitment phase, then...

I got CD, too; I'm just saying there's virtually no proof in the peer-reviewed literature to back up its use (and what does exist is pretty shoddy), yet it's standard in California, Michigan, Colorado, etc. I've asked NORML and other folks to give me a history lesson as to how it got there (and...

Looks like the state has considered the addition of new conditions to those covered under Prop 203, and decided against adding them. The irony is that for at least some of the existing conditions- including Crohn's- there's virtually no data to support their use. (One single study for Crohn's...

For whiteflies, get a yellow floodlight, and put it in one of those clamp-on reflectors from Home Depot. They get pretty hot, but the reflectors are rated for that wattage. The whiteflies are attracted to the yellow, and die upon contact with the hot bulb. It won't get rid of your whiteflies...

Note that one is allowed to grow within a locked, secured greenhouse. However, there are no specifications as to the construction behind such a greenhouse- just that you must be able to lock it. Whether the interpretation that sheet polyethylene plastic would survive a legal challenge is up in...

This is surprisingly easy to do, provided one can produce enough plants in large numbers to make selective breeding an effective proposition. With the federal limits being what they are, this makes it much tougher in America. If one could produce (say) 10,000 plants and select the plants with...
