Best advice.
How to make canna budder so strong. A teaspoon of it would put you down for hours n hours. Were you could only contemplate your existence.
Funny pot story.
1989 Roso Mn. at the fairgrounds. Weed was next to imposable to find when working the show. I moved and ran the Superloop. A 60' tall giant ring with a 20-passenger train. We just came from Blackduck Mn. on a circus jump. (set up, play all day. tare down, move to next town and set up) While in Blackduck we were gifted a few buds of Northern lights. First time ever seeing it or smoking it.
We got to Roso and set up and was done for the night. 2am. We climbed to the top of the Superloop. To set the flags up on top. Again it's 60' up in the air and it's only 24" wide. Fired up the J and then watched two local jackboots. (didn't see them when going up) Going from stick joint to stick joint. (game tents) Sniffing the air.... and talking to each other. Saying "I can smell it, can you? yes but where is it coming from. " We finished the J and watched them wander all around the show for a good 20 minutes. They never found us.
They never looked up.
We hadn't been that high ever from weed on the show. Most weed that did show up that far north was nasty brick.
It WAS tough climbing down that stoned and tired.
Fav pot
northern lights, trainwreck, Bubblegum, C99 Ray Davy's cut, and Sour bubble.

The best grow advice I ever got came from my mentor, BOG. I met him for the first time at Denver Cannabis Cup 2013. I had studied and admired him from afar, but that year I was privileged enough not only to shake his hand but to get him to sample my signature strain, Smurphberry Jam (NL x BB SBx2). He toked from my personal bubbler, taking two deep hits. After he handed me the piece back he remarked, "maybe I've just been on the road for too long, but that's some strong stuff you're packing" I had to fight with myself not to giggle like a school girl at the compliment.Dear ICMag users,

Thank you @The_Vault_Cannabis_Seeds for sponsoring this, you can check their vendor subforum here: https://www.icmag.com/forums/the-vault-cannabis-seed-store.85/ & their website here: https://www.cannabis-seeds-store.co.uk/breeders/phoenix-cannabis-seeds .
He gave me his personal email for future orders after I purchased a pack of everything he had available, from then on my admiration of him continued to grow as I distributed his seeds and studied his techniques.
He's the one who taught me that properly formulated soil would always be better than hydro/aero, that trace compounds in the soil can have a vast effect not just on the growth of the plant but on its flavor and potency. Which brings me to his most important piece of advice.
"If you properly prepare the soil, and water as needed, the plant will be perfectly capable of taking care of itself." I spent years contemplating and trying to achieve this balance, and when I did, I cried tears of joy. My yields, flavor, and potency all improved far more than I could have predicted. My story has many chapters, but I regard this one as the most important, when I was able to study at the feet of a true master.

When running the tap game, or jumping the meter, make sure you install a contactor on the circuit so if the electric company come and pull the breakers, your tapped room goes down with it, the outside air con doesn’t keep running.
The best advice was “keep your seeds safe...”
Funny story, when we were young we used to get together and smoke with a good group of friends, one of them had some great weed..... One of my buddies was very upset because he had to take his mother to the city,
two of my more altruistic buddies and I suggested that we accompany him on such an uncomfortable mission, so we got into the car and set off… everything went well and we arrived at our destination just in time… without his mother…
I still laugh when I remember
My top five, Nl#5hz, O79A5, Durban, SSH and Congo although these tend to vary

Best advice: Never trust any seed package description (yield), fertilizer label instructions or anyone telling you he/she has a foolproof concept. Get to know your shit, read, test and figure it out. Those are marketing tricks and generalizations. But you are special ;D

My best advice to the young grower:
Make f2s of your seeds.
Keep the variety clean. If you got a variety you like, cross it with ITSELF, let it dry 3 months, then put it in the fridge with a written sticker that dont wears of after a few years.

The best advice I was ever gifted when a new grower was to not try and micro manage everything, Usually problems in the grow room are grower induced....
The next piece of invaluable advice I'd say was that a proper dry and cure is what determines average vs amazing cannabis.
