    The Strain That Brought Their Fame

    I agree. I've been growing weed a long time, too. The problem I had for a long time was that I didn't know what I was doing! There wasn't really any literature on the subject except for High Times. And if you were caught reading High Times, then you became suspect. In those days, they sent you...

    Show us your home made bong

    Initially, the local record store sold "head" stuff like those bright-colored acrylic bongs with the aluminum stem and screw-in snap bowl. I think I went through three or four of those. They all ended up leaking stinky bong water everywhere. But after they broke, I'd save the stem and bowl and...

    Thrips

    I've never had to treat any plants for bugs when the plants are flowering. I grow just a few plants and I look at them several times everyday. I keep an immaculate grow environment and IF I see a bug of any kind I'm very surprised. But many years ago, I did have a few thrips show up in veg. I...

    Closet Grow Venting

    OP, Sometimes, it's better to just wait until you have a more opportune time/place to set up a proper grow. As it is, you may end up creating a dangerous situation for yourself and possibly others....Plus, without all of the proper equipment, you may end up with a poor quality final product...

    What Breeder would you label "The Saint of Cannabis" today?

    I probably misunderstood the original question. I thought OP was asking who will go down in history as the most widely-known marijuana breeder. As far as "saint"....I have no idea what that's supposed to mean. There are lots of good growers who have basically "martyred" themselves over the...

    Drinking alcohol to cure a cold. Anybody ever done it?

    Best thing I ever did to treat head cold nasal symptoms was to use a Neti pot ....luke warm filtered water/saline and a little Hydrogen peroxide mixed in. It was a little weird the first time I tried it, but once I was able to do it, it was a game changer.That, and gargling with some warm salt...

    What Breeder would you label "The Saint of Cannabis" today?

    Well...per the original question. I think that Arjan guy from Denmark is probably "THE" guy who will go down in history as the biggest marijuana breeder or conservator. I've never bought anything from them, but they go to great lengths to travel around and collect plants on their Strain Hunters...

    mason jars are shit

    yep I use a similar method....Works very well as long as the jars are in a dark, cool spot and you're not constantly opening and resealing a lot.

    mason jars are shit

    I've just started trying out Grove bags and so far, I think the results are superior to glass jars. I've been searching for ways of long(er) term storage for my weed because I just don't use that much anymore. If I don't use it in a year, then I usually press whatever I have left into rosin. The...

    Marijuana blends?

    Okay, so here is a (maybe) interesting little discovery that I recently came across... Last year's grow turned out fine (Archive Chemdozer)...good yield on just two plants. I had a couple other plants, too....but both turned out to be hermaphrodites, so they got culled. Ultimately, I ended up...

    that ol devil weed is poisoning the elderly!

    Oh, I think I might have gotten paraquat mixed up in my mind with agent orange. It was an herbicide they sprayed to kill all the jungle so our troops could see what we were bombing better. Anyway, yes paraquat was what they used in the War On Drugs to stop us from daring to continue the illegal...

    that ol devil weed is poisoning the elderly!

    My concern is that weed has become an industry. The industry allows for certain amounts of residual pesticides and other "things" to get through the testing and ultimately to be used in the mass production. By comparison, I am a small timer with no stake in the industry and I can grow my own. I...

    THC % Does Not Measure The High

    Great post, Matt! Yes, IF "the" secret ingredient in the marijuana high is THC, then I must have been smoking something else back in the 70's....because I ALWAYS got high and I know the weed was likely not very high in THC at all! I do, however, remember getting many batches of weed that had...

    Who's breeding for potency these day's?

    SO much of a good buzz relies on the smell and flavor....for me. I've smoked the (supposedly) "strongest" strains that the commercial market has to offer and most of them disappoint. In all honesty, someone said THC is "the" psychoactive component in marijuana so everyone who was growing...

    Is it common for a lady to start slow? Plant foreplay... before growth

    The paper towel method is the one I've always used....no regrets. But, IF you allow them to stay on the paper towel too long and the root starts to embed itself, then don't try to pull it out of the towel...Instead, just carefully cut or tear the paper towel around the root and plant the whole...

    Skunk bud

    Everything came in bales...or bricks. Everything was smashed flat, usually. Everything was untrimmed, full of seeds...but I remember was sticky, too. It was divided up into equal parts into plastic baggies...not always an ounce....We measured by fingers. A four-finger bag was a good one. When...

    Skunk bud

    @Splinter7 is correct. There were definitely variants of the skunk. One of them was a blueberry skunk. In fact, that was the best one, in my opinion. Regardless of the variants, though, they ALL were extremely pungent. Anyone who has ever driven along a highway on a summer night has probably...

    Skunk bud

    In MY opinion, having grown up in the 70's and having had the real skunk weed more than a few time, I can say unequivocally, that the skunk was from Mexico. People will say no it's an Afghani strain. However, at that time in the upper midwest, no one was getting anything from Afghanistan. 99% of...
