Outdoor......semi successful. Plants against the east side of my house getting like 8 hours of sun a day tops. I Ran then until 11/5 and they still weren't done. Got 14 oz off a 10gal forum cookies and a 15gal cookie plans so I'm satisfied. 6 oz from a forum cut that wasn't finished is a success in my books.

Nice one Tea, the cookies come out nice and sweet?

Fun stuff today, went to visit a dispensary for some mountain high cbd suckers for the Wife, the budtender accidentally threw a couple extra items into my bag (a 500mg bottle of capsules and a 200mg bottle of spray tincture), and rather than assume they were samples or just call it a wash, I drove back and returned the items so said budtender wouldn't end up facing consequences.

Given how strict everyone is being these days, a couple stray edibles could easily cost someone their job, so I think even if I was being paranoid, it was for safety's sake, and another person's safety, so bonus points :) what would you guys have done? I thought about simply calling but they were literally two blocks away from my destination, easy peezy.

Well done buddy, I'd have done the same. Good to see some honesty, empathy and decency. Cheers! :tiphat:

I personaly doubt he made a mistake .That would be one serious goof up.+ imo returning them to the place could end up making your new friend look like a slow poke and could cost him his job if anyone seen you giving the merchandise back.
If this guy is doing this youre probley not the first or the last .
So i would take it for what its worth and keep the free pot while it last or check your bag before you leave so you can clear up if its a gift or a screw up before you purchase.:laughing:

Long story short, every register had these items next to them, I think they were the "up sells" of the day, and at this budtender's station they were on the counter already from a previous customer taking a look at them, imo easy mistake, and this would have come up during one of the mandatory inventory procedures they have to do (not sure what frequency current policy dictates) wouldn't it?

Seriously if they are testing meds for THC content only that is a fucking slap in the face to all medical users.

It should always be tested for residual pesticides and heavy metals. If you are treating terminal diseases then test for poison and things that will slow your recovery or prolong your suffering. THC content is bullshit.. If you listen to some of the podcast where they talk about the days before testing for thc content the winners of the cannabis cup were actually the lowest in thc content..

Make sure the weed is clean and then the rest is subjective.

I doubt this will help us growers any in the long run... I'm sure they'll find a way to make all this testing mandatory even for small home grows

they're only gonna keep imposing more new rules

I use no bottles but my compost now suddenly has "salmonella concerns"

Fuckem. I smoke what I grow and I certainly dont smoke pesticides.

Yup, sea is onto something there, even purely "organic" grows will suffer excess scrutiny due to the fact that the people enforcing the regulations wont be people who know the ins and outs of organic gardening, they'll be typical code monkeys who want to write as many fines as possible, compost won't be "sanitary" enough, and I could easily see "anti-pesiticide" legislation turning into "mandatory use of a specific state trusted pesticide brand" legislation.

Perhaps this is why We (generalizing) need to get our people into office and into those jobs, we are better suited for those rolls then some one who still thinks that it should be illegal.

I could see those labels like all bottles have, then they have that note with the exception clause about Cali. You'll see more of those then for different state's rules.

Just imagine what it's going to be like when the Feds legalize on a federal level, it will take them for ever to figure things out.

Who ever creates those Child proof packages that are required is cleaning up...

Fuck Gold mining when you can force them to use your shovels and shit.

it is like i want to profit off the backs of the pioneers without really being involved.

Buy my approved / state sanctioned product that has very little to do with the industry..

Get yourself some sm-90, mix at a ratio of 5:1 (5 parts water to one part sm-90) and spray the plants down. Spray every 3-5 days, up to 3 times and you should be spider mite free. Removing some of the larger fan leaves can make it easier to spray the whole plant. Removing fan leaves with lots of mite damage, spray your container of trimmed leaves, this will help to kill bugs on them because they could crawl back to your plants.
