Imagine, cops going out and solving murders and such -

Sheeeeeeit. You need real POlice for that.

Colorado hotels are updating their signage. I still haven't seen the sign at the airport that says you can't take it with you. I bet that one is a collectors item.



Although I mostly indulge in the tax free variety, it has been cool to visit retail stores and get a sampler of diverse strains. The favorite these last couple summers has been Kosher Kush from High Country Healing in Citythorne. Solid.

I gave High Country Healing their White and Mob Boss cut. Solid smoke.

McNutty and bunk be real police.

Spider mites are starting to infest our ladies. Advice? It's almost ready do we just cut em?

[Bobby Stainless]

There is nothing I would want to spray on them so close to harvest.

If you have to, Monterey Garden Spray with Spinosad.

Cool thanks. I'll head out with the shop vac when I wake n'

Questions loom as S.D. tribe prepares to open 'marijuana resort'

The state-of-the-art marijuana growing operation with its 65 strains of plants is in its infancy as finishing touches are being put on the building, where it will take about 14 weeks to grow about 80 pounds of pot. That's how much the tribe hopes to sell weekly at its smoking lounge and entertainment resort just south of their casino that is noting its 25th year of operation this month.

The resort has been about a year in the making, as the tribal council that leads the tribe of 280 adults and 110 children on the reservation voted 5-1 late last year to pursue the resort idea.

"Dude I'm way too stoned to gamble."

It also will cut into alcohol sales.

I think it's finally time to cut these poor neglected ladies

"Oregon pot stores sell more than $11 million in first 5 days

Buyers here far exceed marks set by those in other states during the first week of legal recreational sales

SALEM — Retailers sold more than $11 million of marijuana during Oregon’s first week of legal recreational sales, outpacing the early business done in other states that have legalized pot, according to the Oregon Retailers of Cannabis Association.

Oregon retailers had sales of $3.5 million by the end of opening day, saidCasey Houlihan, executive director of the association, the Statesman Journal in Salem reported. By contrast, Colorado’s first week of sales reached $5 million. In Washington, sales during the first month hit $2 million.


Under the state law approved by Oregon voters last year, possession of marijuana in limited quantities has been permitted since July 1.

But there was no legal way to buy it until Oct. 1. Pot shops that already sell medical marijuana made big plans for the historic day, with some opening just after midnight.

One reason Oregon posted stronger early sales was the existing medical marijuana infrastructure. More than 250 medical marijuana dispensaries in Oregon have told the state they will sell to recreational customers. By contrast, Colorado had 24 stores on Day 1. Washington had just four, and a year later still has fewer than Oregon.

Oregon also has a robust supply of marijuana that’s grown to support medical marijuana users and the black market. Companies have invested in massive warehouses in Portland to grow the drug indoors, and Southern Oregon has some of the nation’s best conditions for outdoor cultivation of marijuana.

Growers don’t face strict regulations yet, so the supply can more easily flow into retail stores than it did in Washington and Colorado.

Houlihan said shops are seeing customers coming back to pot after years of not smoking it.

“They’re telling me that customers lining up are in many cases 50 to 65 and haven’t purchased marijuana in decades, but they’re just happy to have the opportunity to do so,” he said."

^^^wowzer - imagine if they had also sold edibles and concentrates for rec.

What got me likin' the H3ad. Someone I usedta know's first grow. Massiv calcium def due to no ph meter and not knowing nuthin, but sum donkey diks just the same...

[Game Over]

So how much fan should I have on two whole plants hanging. Should they be blowing around or still.

[Game Over]

so I have it in a shed like so hanging from the rafters with a fan blowing away from it. Yea or nay?

[TBS]

^^^That should work - you want light circulation, not a storm
Relative humidity and temp in the shed is more important. You want it at about 50% with temps in the low-mid 60's so moisture leaves the plant semi-slowly
This is a great thread on curing https://www.icmag.com/ic/showthread.php?threadid=156237
I've been able to get by with the cheap $5 hygrometers from Amazon rather than the $20 ones that OP uses. They may be off by 2-3% but that's close enough when you add Bovida bags

[Game Over]

Sweet. Thanks for the link.

Kinda nervous because our humidity is 89% right now according to my phones weather app. I assume the shed is a little less but still above 50%.

[highangle]

If it's cold and damp, the stems will never get dry enough to snap. You may have to get them in some climate control before they'll get dry enough to jar up.

Most folks trim wet, BTW. TEHO.

If you can't get your bud inside, you may want them in the freezer for a couple weeks, to let sublimation take out the bulk of the moisture.

Shit I guess I should prolly bring em inside. That building stays pretty much the same as the outdoors.

Edit- High of 72 low of 48 for the next week and dry (by w. Oregon standards) . Is that within range or do I need to move indoors? I could throw a heater out there and keep it 60-65 ish...

[stfu]

Sounds ok to me.


Had an exciting day on the pharm today.

One young feller had a bad allergic reaction and I got to take him to the ER.

He's got a history of allergy problems and carries epi. He'd gotten a bad rash from handling the weed earlier in the week. Looked like bad poison oak. Seemed like Benadryl was knocking it down so we weren't too concerned. We were giving him shit about it.

Today it knocked him down. Started with a rash, hives, sneezing, burning eyes, etc., then quickly developed into difficulty breathing. I called 911 and hit him with his epi and started rolling towards the ER hoping I'd meet the ambulance on the way out. He improved with the first shot. Ended up canceling them and taking him in myself. Looks like he's ok. They're keeping him overnight so mom and dad can come get him and take him home.

Weed is dangerous kids.

Sounds like it ranks up there with peanuts and glutens for the anaphalactics amongus!

Raise the temp of air with a given amount of water in it, the relative humidity drops, yo?
The first 90% of the water can get out of the plant quick. It's the last 10% you need to get out slowly.

W. Oregon is not dry, BTW. E. Oregon is dry, but the deer will eat you out of house/home and the vibe's just a lot browner...

[stfu]

Wait !

Physics.

Warm air holds more moisture than cold air, right?

I'd keep it like it is and maybe add some heat at night.

Be patient! Everyone is in too much of a hurry. Just let it be and don't fuss with it.

[stfu]

Curious if we should be using some sorta cigar type humidor to store our goodies long term?
