You said "meaty Dutch oven" LMFAO 🤮

Damn that Slapz is frosty, looks awesome. I know you hate trimming and what not but you do one helluva trim job...every single time. I admire that.

Did you find that Slapz in seed or cut? I have found some gold with Exotic Genetix myself. Nice cultivar.
i got it as a cut from a member

Sorry, but I just can’t let this pass knowing that “Ming” the clam was 507 years old !,!!!! >>>
Ming (c. 1498 or 1499–2006), also known as Hafrún, was an ocean quahog clam (Arctica islandica, family Arcticidae) that was dredged off the coast of Iceland in 2006 and whose age was calculated by counting annual growth lines in the shell. Ming was the oldest individual (non-clonal) animal ever discovered whose age could be precisely determined.[
Thought to be 405 years old, Ming was later determined to be 507 years old, although the clam had previously been killed to make this determination. The size of the clam was 87 mm × 73 mm (3.4 in × 2.9 in).

Name​

The clam was initially named Ming by Sunday Times journalists, in reference to the Ming dynasty in China, during which it was born.[1]Later, the Icelandic researchers on the cruise which discovered the clam named it Hafrún, a woman's name which translates roughly as 'the mystery of the ocean'; taken from haf, 'ocean', and rún, 'mystery'.[4] The actual sex of the clam, however, is unknown, as its reproductive state was recorded as "spent".

Original discovery​

The clam was dredged off the northern coast of Iceland in 2006. In 2007, on the basis of counting the annual growth bands on the cross-sectional surface of the hinge region of the shell, researchers announced that the clam was 405 years old.[5] The research was carried out by researchers from Bangor University. In the process, the clam died.
