Emerald Cup 2015

[HillBilly1]

Hey there, HillBilly. You probably are ok with just your card, but I always carry my 8.5x11 signed and sealed recommendation.

Have been told by a cop that the difference to them is that if I show a Dr.'s recommendation with a signature and seal, I will be free to leave with my medication... but if I have some card that is not instantly ascertained to be valid, then they will take any suspected contraband and charge me with any illegal possession of suspected contraband. It will be my responsibility to prove otherwise in court.

Not sure if things always go down like that, but the conversation was enough for me to carry my rec at all times.

Ok I will bring the big one too lol. We get the ID
Photo then a small card size one that is signed and
Sealed then the full size up here but better safe
Than sorry

Great recommendation, but be prepared to wait for a bit. Parkside is really popular on the weekends!

Omelette Express in Railroad Square and Hank's Creekside on 4th Street are also great spots for breakfast.

Dont forget..

Carlos Country Kitchen,
Piner Cafe,
Sam's Forplay Cafe
Mac's Delicatessen

All fantastic breakfast choices

Breakfast Burritos with your choice of breakfast meats at Chellenos

my 2c, +1 for Sweet T's for upscale bbq, great as take out too. For breakfast head out to occidental for Howard's station best of the bay imo, belgian waffles can't be missed, or KC's in Windsor for super fast and hearty even when they are packed.

So if I was going I'd head straight to the CSI:Humboldt booth. Nspecta just started his "pirates of the triangle" seed line.

They'll have 10 packs for $80 of
Urkle f1
Mendo purps f1

Both heady heirloom purple varieties.

And with purchase you get free pack of CSI:Humboldt beans too.

Great deal imho

Try Pho Vietnam for a nice bowl of soup on a cold day , on Stoney point near the Food for Less ,crowded for lunch .

 

[bigmotaman48]

Aroma or Flying Goat for coffee in RailroadSquare .mambo pizza is good and Sebastopol or Petaluma are both good for downtown walking tours , whales are cruising by Point Reyes and Bodega Head .

Did not know this either...

We should try to meet up more often. I'll start a Sonoma County growers thread or something after the cup and see if anybody is interested.

The Joel Halen show/BBQ at the Refined studio last night was sweet. I still don't know how people drop 5k+ on rigs. It was awesome checking out the pieces and chatting it up with Joel and his pig Cletus though.

Hope to see some IC heads at the cup today

Seriously, this line is ridiculous.. I heard there might be more than one entrance gate?

Huge % of micro/ pesticide fails. That'd be heartbreaking. "Organic" entries failing pesticide tests wtf ?

 

[Heusinomics]

It's my understanding that many of the products containing benifical microbes or biology like OgBioWar or AACT for foliars will test positive for mold/pathogen test!!

I think this is a huge issue showing a lack of understanding between the lawmakers and the growers/producers w hands on knowledge.

Any other private organic growers getting fails for mold?
I for one love to spray my teas as much as possible! Plants love the AACT bath!

Big ups respect and happy growing.

I had the same observations as both of you.

Curious as to what sc labs defies as bad microbiology, I checked out their website and read the info they presented.

While I'm not one to use aact anymore, I have in the past and do feel like it can benefit a garden if used properly. Heusinomics hit the nail on the head on the fact the political side needs more real world experience whispered in their ears about what's what when it comes to commercial organic cannabis farming...not just in reference to this but many other issues as well.
