Preach. If everyone who wrote about the end of democracy actually believed what they were saying, this wouldn’t be getting downvoted. If anyone who wrote articles like this actually believed it, these would be calls to action, not liberal hand wringing.

If people actually do believe this, and in response sit there doing nothing, they are cowards. Plain and simple. If you think this is the end of democracy, what are gonna do… vote democracy back? Ya’ll don’t, you know how I know ya’ll don’t? You aren’t doing anything about it, and you won’t.

Like fuck off with this ridiculous, inflammatory shit. It already lost the election and both houses, maybe focus on figuring out how to win a fucking election once everyone realizes these idiots can’t actually govern in 2 years, again!

Pure coco is a really hard medium for first time growers, you are feeding hydro style for all intents and purposes. You need to measure the water run-off of the plant, the water coming out after you water. You are also aiming to rinse the last feeding out of the coco with the new feeding to prevent salt build up.

You are locking out the plants somehow (no nutrient uptake, limited water uptake, plant is running off the energy stored in the fan leaves), it will be almost impossible to figure out what is specifically wrong at this point because everything is wrong in lockout.

Check this guide, and if you keep going, this method works very well.

That’s a fucking drag. I saw them a few times back in the day. After a show at Slim’s in SF, he told everyone not to push or fight. He promised to talk to everyone waiting, and he did. The whole band did. Why is everyone a fucking rapist.

It wasn’t that. It was the stumping with a Cheney and being forced to say Trump’s border wall is a good idea to Anderson Cooper. That sort of lurching

It was a weird dichotomy.

This election is so 2016 flavored that it’s killing me inside. I don’t think I’m gonna watch the election night coverage even.

Yeah agreed, most of the thca gets picked so early that it can lack some of the character of really good stock standard thc (if they let the trichomes mature too much the natural coversion of thca into thc starts), but I can’t argue with how easy it is to get really good shit. Plus there’s so much competition it’s really driving down prices and up quality in retail too.

Yeah I feel you, I stepped in to a dispensary over here the other day and the just offered me a mixed oz of eights and some other shit for stupid cheap! Some of the shit was really good.

The gray market, not necessarily the black market anymore. That’s retail growers who can’t easily sell all their harvest, especially in Cali where bulk prices are very low, sell either direct to consumer or mail/drive pounds of product to resellers. Since it’s being fed by the retail market, the quality can be exceptional.

Can be hard to differentiate gray market product from black market product, but gray market means purchases in ounces/lbs at sub retail prices because supply is plentiful and risk is nil. THCA is also a technically legal market nationality, although a few states closed the loophole, but you can still buy well priced highs and get them delivered via usps.

Legit, we’re still trying to figure out through genetics if cannabis even has species, or if it’s all just cultivars of C. Sativa. We still don’t know where to draw the lines scientifically. Literature is all over the place! The classic 2, adding in ruderalis for a 3rd, differentiating hemp vs weed, differentiating wild or landraces from cultivated populations.

All really interesting work on this has been done in the last 4 years! Super exciting time.

They’re not so much worried about adulteration as they are about pesticides. Pesticides, heavy metals, and some spore can be really dangerous in cannabis not only cause you inhale it, but because extraction and concentration into oils (for everything from edibles to vape pens) also concentrates any of the bad stuff that was sprayed onto a plant or worked it’s way up from the growing medium.

As far as THC%, the results of your high are going to rely on the other chemicals almost as much as the thc. No one is doing the genetic testing to separate cultivars, so the provenance of a plant is a guess. Good, well grown/cured weed will have a ton of different cannibanoids and terpenes that make up the chemotype. It will have the consistency of kinetic sand, not like dried oregano, immediately after you grind it. If you are used to the taste, you should pick up the different flavors of the terpenes.

If your weed doesn’t taste or look like that, you’re likely buying bulk lows or mids. Plants that were poorly grown, or had spider mites or thrips, still need to get sold. You’ll either get it in shitty distillate or bulk weed that tastes like nothing and doesn’t have any unique or interesting characteristics. They mixed the strains from a dozen grow houses, most is white labeled.

If you aren’t growing it or have access to gray market for bulk, the retail shop highs or exotics (the really good stuff) are priced waaaaaaayyyy too high to justify buying it, imo.

Kid is gonna read that article. Maybe now, maybe one day. Imagine reading an article about how your mom wishes desperately with all her heart that she didn’t have you.

She loves you despite what you are, not because of it. Fuck me.

There were like 2.3 million people living in Gaza and at best guess 42k have been killed. That’s a best guess and most estimates say at least.

Initially, Germany had around 500k Jewish people. Around 300k of those people were able to flee, although many not far enough. Of the remaining 200k, about 25% were killed in concentration camps or through some other horror.

As the Nazis gathered more territory, they began the systematic, machine-like murder of European Jews. As a direct example, Poland had over 3 million Jewish people, 90% of them were killed in the Holocaust in concentration camps.

I don’t think we really need to compare genocides to say this is a genocide, especially not to the Holocaust.

Actually, we’re having an argument about it right now!

Cannabis growers, botanists, scientists. As research on the plant has been allowed in the last decade, these specfic structures have been defined, that’s why it’s the modern definition.

Oh yeah, super common argument, old heads especially. That image is at least a decade old and has served well!

Most scientific studies and even most modern literature identify that structure in the image as the bract. Whereas the cannabis calyx is a few cells thick and covers the seed, part of the perianth. it’s not visible until a seed has expanded.

Lemme give you an example:

https://www.frontiersin.org/journals/plant-science/articles/10.3389/fpls.2019.00350/full

It’s funny tho, this study calls out the argument.

Despite all this you still see it both ways, or bract (calyx)/calyx(bract). Calyx was the term for a long time.

Cannabis growers tend to use the words bract and calyx interchangeably. In actuality, the little oval shape with hairs coming out is actually a bract. In cannabis the actual calyx is a sheath of cells around the thing that becomes the seed once fertilized.

A cannabis flower is just a collection of bracts. We tend to colloquially call the fat pair of little bracts that form at the base of the buds where they branch into leaves, the calyx

Do you know the genetics of the plant? That looks like a “grinspoon” or “string of pearls” mutation. There’s another version called willowing, but the leaves are twisted when it’s that.

Check out the Dr. Grinspoon strain. That thing might be a pain to trim, but it should smoke great!

I feel you, it’s for sure gray.

I get what you’re saying, but my point is it’s not really accepted. It’s actually an incredibly controversial process that has recently been updated in the US to include not targeting civilians specifically.

Totally respect it’s not your idea, I’m just pointing out that I think it’s much more complicated when you involve civilian collateral damage, which is actually terrorism in a mask with an overcoat.
