Oh that's how I used to get rid of used rockwool when I used to live in town. Just throw em in a garbage bag and toss em in a dumpster nearby.

I was saying the same thing about not having any thc in stock but you know how if it comes out of my mouth she has reason to not believe.
I google it and see if I can find some info.
The dog doesn't stop trying to Grab one so and I'm at a loss as to what to do with most of this stock.
I dont have a field I can throw it in
I can't throw in the garbage for security reasons.
I can't burn it obviously.
Any ideas?

I took all of mine directly to the dump in garbage bags. No one looks in your bags, they have no way to know who brought what bags unless you put something with your personal information in them as well.

I enjoy those private jokes. Back when gas was $150 the wife wanted to go out and she wanted me took take her somewhere expensive. So I took her to the gas station. o_O

Nice, glad to hear she's getting the chop. Hope she's a higher CBD pheno and you got some cuts. Don't ask why but she "looks" like some of the higher CBD phenos I've grabbed. Nice and chunky too :)

Why not just test for the presence of cbd:

“How to detect the presence of CBD, for home growers

https://www.madchat.fr/esprit/texture...nd_edition.pdf

Page # 127The Beam Test aka Beam's Test

If you read the section "Colorimetry" in the first paragraph on Page #127 you will see a simplified method for detecting CBD using a spot test called "the Beam test"

The needed reagents are:

5% KOH(Potassium hydroxide) in 95% ethanol
(5g KOH in 100 ml 95% ethanol)

Petroleum ether, Naptha or other organic solvent to remove the cannabinoids from a sample of your choosing.

Place 1-2 grams of your sample flowers in an oven until dry @ 150 degrees Celsius for 5 minutes. Extract in a small glass vessel (shot glass?) for 10 minutes in 10 ml of your Petroleum ether, other organic solvent, naptha, etc.

Filter and remove the leaf material using a coffee filter or similar, catch the liquid extract

Take 1 ml of the extract and dry on a white porcelain dish like an egg cup, saucer, or similar. (Gently heat the dish to evaporate the liquid phase of the extract). You will have a dish with remnants of resin leftover once the liquid has evaporated.

Place 5 drops of your 5% KOH in ethanol solution on your plate, and wait about 10 minutes. You will see a distinct violet/purple/pink color from samples containing CBD which could be Chemotype II or III plants - in the case of CBDLullaby they will be only Type I and II plants- THC only plants (chemotype i) will not show this colour.

It's a relatively simple test and anyone can do it, you just need to order KOH from Amazon or your local soap making store and pick up a solvent from your local hardware store. The ethanol will probably be the most difficult thing to source, but it is available as "Everclear" or 190 proof ethyl alcohol from your local provincial or state run liquor store, depending on your location.

Hope that comes in handy....

On a side note, if you can't find worm castings locally. Home Hardware has them for $15.99 for 20L. You can have it shipped to your local store for free.
I also had trouble finding bags of shrimp and mushroom compost locally but i ordered that too. Not sure about the quality?
They also take paypal.

The place I get my organic Soil is a worm farm!. So worm castings a plenty and also worms lol. Each pot gets a few to wiggle around and do there thing.
Home hardware is actually a pretty good place for a few different amendments as well.

Good to know about home hardware, I tend to forget about them since they closed down many of their stores in my city years ago and now they only exist in smaller towns surrounding the big city. What rate does it say to mix that particular brand?
