Okay....maybe I need to put it another way.
I've known many women..........[wait for it].....and I've known many that were almost chef quality cooks. I'll use spaghetti sauce to illustrate: these chef-like women used only fresh vegetables picked at the height of ripeness, choice cuts of meat, several spices in combinations calculaters cannot compute....cooked for hours, simmered for a couple more hours......stirring and tasting all thru the process, adding a little this or that along the way as their expert taste buds indicated.
When finally poured on the pasta, there was no denying - more often than not, it was awesome. I ate, enjoyed, and was satisfied.
When I make spaghetti, the sauce comes from a jar - hey, I've got class! - no cans for me. It heats up in about 10 minutes, which is about as long as the pasta takes to cook. Grill some store bought garlic bread, open a bag'o'salad', and dinner is on is 15 minutes or less. No kelp, no worms, no....oh, wait, that's another recipe. And it's a good meal. But even better: for the work I put into it, it's a damm fine meal. I'd bet most of you with less fine tuned palates couldn't tell a lot, if any, difference in my 'recipe' and these pseudo-chef babes - but I never told any of them that until I was ready to....you know....eat somewhere else.
And when I eat my own cooking, it's most often tasty and satifying....there's more of it....and the effort is far less both physically, but more importantly, mentally. And that's where I'm coming from. You can follow that thought from gourmet cooking to most things in my world. Real good w/ little effort and mental gymnastics > the 'best I've ever had' complete w/ worms and kelp and such.
The glorious thing, doncha know, is if we all think we're enjoying our crops, we probably are.
I wonder how many Mataro Blue beans you were resposible for selling.....I was almost one - had it in my cart, in fact because of your repeated high praise. Not ragging on you, I swear...just noting the irony.
I talked to a friend of mine in Colorado and he told me that most of the growers he knows have stepped up the quality of their buds to keep their customer base. Prices haven't changed as of yet as the pot stores are getting $400 a zip. I find it interesting how legal weed will change or not change the pot culture.

After the twenty minute wait, the security screening... and the introduction to his "Bud-tender", he left the proud owner of some Kush I can't remember the name of, for $60 an 1/8th.
Yeh, they have mids for $200 - $250 a zip...before tax.
After tax, the ounce costs $325. Top shelf after tax can run up to $400.
Every plant grown for licensed shops has a tracker attached at the base, and is tracked from grow to sale, and logged on it's journey the entire way.
If a person can grow top shelf and stay ahead of them, there may be a small slice left in that billion dollar pie.
Gunnin for strange love...

Well I may have to walk back a bit on my initial assessment on superstitious. I've got four on flower. The first one was meh as far as bodhi goes, it was still better than any Dutch I've had in my garden.
Had a taste of number 2 yesterday, still needs a cure but a nice lemon taste and smell. Numbers 3 and 4 come down tonight.
