  1. I inherited a BMW roadster, and I have a jacked up F-150, so I'm a double asshole. The lift is necessary in order to cross the river to my land in the summer.
  2. Things were just so different back then, you know, last month.

    What's your experience like with the autos? I've only run auto affie, many years ago. It was great for producing an early harvest, but that blasted plant would flower with even an hour of darkness a day, and took months to re-veg if the power went out for half a day. The other disadvantage is that it took a big investment of time and electricity to get the plant large enough to produce a good yield - the benefits you get for free with outdoor veg and early stretch from a conventional strain. I've had cops tell me that it's a violation of the law to "double crop" by using light dep or autos. They're obviously full of shit, but they claimed that plant count was an annual sum, not a snapshot in time.

    It's definitely not just a you thing. I have a friend who told me he's done every drug known to man, and the most uncomfortable he's ever been was after ingesting too much cannabis. He said he spent 2 days in a fetal position on a bathroom floor.

    Thanks. It's never happened to me, but I live in a remote mountain area. Most everyone who can grow does, but the culture around here where people have been growing outdoors since the 70s pretty much dictates that if you're planning to pollinate anything, you'd better do it in safe fashion and very early in flower. There are some idiots no doubt. I've heard of one case of active sabotage. Someone blasted a big legal rec grow with pollen using leaf blowers, or so I heard. At least they can make concentrates.

    That's actually where most of this goes. We can possess 8oz dried flowers per household in Oregon. A 4 plant outdoor grow that produces only 8 ounces could only be described as an unmitigated disaster. So I have friends over for harvest. A disabled Vietnam vet, an Iraq vet & his wife are the harvest crew. After it's all split up & spread to family, etc., everyone's in compliance. The weather can turn in a heartbeat in the PNW this time of year, but you want to run your crop as long as possible. Having a crew of volunteers to help on a moment's notice is great, and it saves me the work. Everyone wins.

    We harvested this plant yesterday, with one more to go today before the rains start back up. This is the end of the outdoor season here except for the most mold-resistant plants. Recreational has been a lot more fun to grow than medical. No spotter choppers or visits from deputies any longer since every household can have 4 plants.
  9. When the seed pods of papaver somniferum are maturing, make shallow cuts vertically on the pods. By the next day, the latex containing the alkaloids oozes out. Scrape it off with a razor, put a bit on a bowl of weed, and fire it up. It's very relaxing and produces some trippy dreams. I have a friend who keeps a coca plant as a houseplant. She makes tea from the leaves. It's a fun little buzz for about a half hour, but when it wears off, I get ridiculously hungry.
  10. We also had another ballot measure pass that legalizes psilocybin for therapeutic purposes. I voted for both. Opium poppies grow well here. Making raw opium is very easy.

    Anybody ever grow wildfire weed? Flames got within 20 miles of my house, and my crop is now covered in ash. I wouldn't be concerned if it happened close to harvest, because I hose harvested colas with water to wash off dust & dirt right after I pluck the fan leaves. But these plants won't be ready for harvest for ~3 weeks. A lot more flower material will be produced between now and then, so some of the ash will be trapped by the new material. I won't be making any concentrates out of this crop.

    I got the idea from a greenhouse grower of cut flowers. He'd toss all of his root wads in a front loader, dump them in a hopper that dispensed them onto to a conveyor that passed through a propane furnace. Result was low effort cleaning & sterilization, plus CO2 exhaust for the greenhouses. Can't beat that. What's the AN product? I haven't heard of that, but I'm not an AN fan. Does it break it down to increase surface area? I'm still using 15 year old intact hydroton.

    I've felt this pain, but with hydroton instead of perlite. To save myself the effort of rinsing & sterilizing, I put an old washing machine cylinder on a propane crab cooker. I'd typically process 15 gallons of dried out root wads in 20 minutes or so on full flame, stirring a few times until the roots were all ash. Rinse the ashes away, and the recycled hydroton is sterilized and ready to use.
  14. Multiple Ivy offers as well, so he's obviously a good student. He's student body president too.

    Jackie-O is a good one as well. Cali-O cross. I don't have any idea if it's in dispensaries, though

    Good description. I do something similar to this each fall, but on a bigger scale outdoors with a crab cooker, 15 gallon stainless steel pot & a primitive still.
  17. RD said in his post that capital contributions are not included in operating revenue, e.g. the $10M that Jones donated to piggy 5 years ago. He could contribute to operating revenue through other avenues if he wanted. He could buy every suite or every unsold seat in the stadium. Maybe Walmart would pay for licensing to use piggy football's logo on an item they'd like to promote more in its home state. Say toothbrushes. That would be included in operating revenue.
  18. I've lived in a rainforest for more than 20 years and run saws for at least 5 hours a week except during late summer (fire danger). Stihl is easily the most popular brand used in the timber industry, followed by Husqvarna. Like others have said, 2 saws are necessary, and the best combo for general use is a 16" bar on a 40+ cc powerhead and a 20" with 55+ cc. Not just because of the difference in weight, but also because you'll eventually get a saw hung up and need another to cut it loose. Premix fuel is a waste of money, plus Power Punch brand 2 stroke oil makes my saws run cleaner than any premix. Ethanol free gas, called clear gas around here, is essential for small motors with any plastic parts. Match up the file diameter with the teeth. The chain package will tell you what size file to use. It takes practice to get the angle right when sharpening by hand. A file guide makes it a lot easier, but I only sharpen with a file as a last resort. I have a bench mounted sharpener that works well, but what I end up using more than anything else is this $30 12V sharpener made by Oregon: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B073GSGNLV/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 I wear chainsaw chaps and steel toe boots if I'm doing any real work. I never run a saw without hearing protection. One of my logger friends is always saying "I'm deaf in one ear and can't hear out the other."
  19. The tenth highest grade among interior defensive tackles in the NFL is not impressive at all for a rookie.
  20. I guess aggy would refer to my goat as a " Mulching rear discharge walk behind mower." Still going strong after 15 years, and he fertilizes as he mows.
  21. Most varieties of cannabis will begin flowering once the duration of darkness is 10 hours, not 12. 12 hours of darkness begins after fall equinox, so an outdoor crop wouldn't begin flowering until the last week of September if a full 12 was necessary. I live near the 44th parallel, and every variety I've grown outdoors has started flowering by mid August when the light/dark is 14/10. Some start earlier than that. There was one type called auto affie (for autoflowering afghani) that would begin flowering with even a single hour of darkness. I'd transplant it outdoors at the beginning of June and harvest it in early August, then transplant another outside for an early October harvest. Also, it's not hard to produce 2 outdoor crops a year if you use a light deprivation greenhouse to control photoperiod. Oregon's rules take that into account. A 2 crop garden permit allows half the square footage of a 1 crop permit.
  22. There are multiple nonstop flights from Eugene to LAX daily for under $200. The airport is 10 minutes from campus. But Austin >>> Eugene in all ways other than traffic, outdoor recreation, and summer temps. Eugene is turning into one great big homeless camp.
  23. For 80 years our title hopes have been dead But by God our boys always cover the spread -aggy
  24. Thank you for the context. SB IV was before I was born, and I've never watched it. I started watching football in the Luv Ya Blue era (fuck you Bradshaw). Apologies for my ignorance - I cast no aspersions on Hank Stram.
