    Seed donations?

    This is completely new to me and it seems like a good idea. I happen to have a bunch of seeds that I kind of accidentally created while messing around with my hobby weed. At this point, I probably have more than I will ever be able to plant in my tiny grow tent and closet. I did a quick Google...

    What do you guys do with sugar leaves?

    Decarb and infuse in coconut oil or use pure ethanol to make an extract that can be drunk. We are also starting to do glycerin extracts using a Magical Butter gizmo. The low-grade trim can be used to make topical ointments that are good for pain. Edited to add: a crock pot is your friend.

    Fire at “cannabis operation” in downtown LA

    >>LAFD also stated that four of the first firefighters experienced an “unexpected burning sensation” on their faces. They were taken to a nearby hospital in fair condition as part of the department’s protocol.<< Like I said, a cannabis fire is probably different from other conflagrations. Hope...

    Fire at “cannabis operation” in downtown LA

    This doesn’t say if it was a grow facility or if they were storing plant material or making extracts. General observation: Cannabis burns hot. I’m guessing that it presents unique challenges for firefighters. If I was running a big operation I would not skimp on fire safety...

    CSI humboldt thread

    Has anyone grown their UK Cheese S1? My wife likes Cheese for pain relief. We are growing our own Cheese hybrids now and I would like to get some of the original DNA to work with if possible. I have bought other beans from CSI and no complaints.

    Trim Jail is Hell

    This reminds me of listening to my grandparents talk about how they grew up on farms and had to work as unpaid labor for their parents, shucking corn or whatever. Trimming reminds me of cleaning fish: it’s not much fun and your hands get disgustingly sticky. That’s why I don’t mind letting my...

    Observation about effects of uncured flowers on grumpy old men

    I have always been a bit skeptical of the “science” of curing flowers, but I have to admit that over the last year or so my wife and I have noticed that if we test-vape dried flowers before allowing them to cure for a few weeks, they are more likely to make us what the medical professionals call...

    Creeper weed?

    Some strains do this. I think it is more likely to happen when harvested early or not cured long enough. I remember hearing about “creeper weed” from a pothead when we were both in the 8th grade in San Antonio in the 1970s. This would have most likely been really cheap Mexican stuff smuggled in...

    Mailing clones

    I have heard that you can put a cutting in a refrigerator for a couple of weeks and it will still root if you don’t let it get too dry. I tried it a couple times and was not impressed with the results. Last time I tried I got no roots. Still, it seems like it ought to be possible if you want to...

    What do you guys use for curing and long term storage?

    My wife is in charge of curing. We use amber Mason jars with Boveda 62 percent humidity packs for curing. When we need to store the flowers long-term we put them in Alovian pouches.

    Is Caffeine a new strain or just a re-branding of Green Crack?

    Dispensaries in my part of SoCal have been selling clones of a strain called Caffeine. I found some information online that makes me wonder if it’s not just a new name for Green Crack. The clones are listed on Weedmaps and usually the dispensaries are supplied by Clone Guy but I went to his...

    I would go ahead with pruning if you think the plants need it. Plants look fine to me.

    I bought an assortment of beneficial mites. How can I tell if they are doing the job?

    No, the harvested plants are not in the photos. We expect another crop around New Year.

    I bought an assortment of beneficial mites. How can I tell if they are doing the job?

    The plants are looking okay so far. We harvested a couple today. I have not seen any strands of silk, but some leaves have taken a beating.
