OK, i think that is sensible, but not sure why there is a guy who joined jan '24 in there then !

He was in before we created the security tiers within the premium user tag, so I gave him the same benefits as 1y100p tier.

Like Verdant I'm not an elitist by any means but hear me out:
Isn't a cannabis growing forum, in a good way, one of the most elitist things ever anyways?
among your peers you get credit for doing the right thing, despite the legal situation and the consequences. no matter what legislation in a certain geography says, all that more or less legal activity is what ultimately opens the network up for you and only that. Can't think of many clubs that are more exclusive

Word of caution though against trading clones. We ALL need to be really careful NOT to spread the Hops Latent Virus or other diseases through clone trading.

Prevent spread by practicing good hygene. Sterilize cutting tools with rubbing alcohol, and there may be something to apply to clones to prevent disease.

4 Methods of Spread for Hop Latent Viroid: What Every Cultivator Should Know About This ‘Silent Killer’​

Dr. Zamir Punja, a professor of plant biotechnology at Simon Fraser University, explains what he’s uncovered in his recent research.

Seeds can also transmit the disease, but its much lower percentage around 5-15% I think it was.

Rubbing alcohol will spread it, seeds can transmit it from range of below ten to in the 90s% of the seed infected inside, and all on the outside of the seed, if any of the parents are infected.. the latest research has shown..

5-10000 ppm chlorine bleach solutions for contact time of 60 secs will reliably render it uninfectious. Though it will eat your stainless steel tools up hahahha. Wear PPE. Yeah the high incidence of viroids and virii somewhat compound the whole seed and cuts trading thing considerably. Almost all sources of seed that I tested plants from had some high degree of infection. I've stopped mostly sharing my seed since I saw what was up, though mates growing it out are having banger crops better than their cuts planted out, they and I assume its because the rest of their moms were already well infected with all sorts of shite.

Oh and thanks for the badge kumbaya!

I'm seeing lots of exclusive/elusive clones getting put up for trade in the Premium/Veteran forum. So get your badge if you're interested.

[jessethestoner]

if you start to spam, it will be deleted, but if you hit it without it, you will be upgraded automatically

Lots of folks make ten good posts a day. For those of us who are a little more introverted forum members, that can seem daunting, but it’s a goal that’ll shave a few years off of that for you.

if you read back some pages, there is a post where i mentioned, we will find option to make it fair

I’d gone pretty quiet myself. The veteran badge has me posting much more, and reminded of what a friendly, helpful community IC really is. (100 left! )

That's the spirit!

And, as whipedmeat said, there will be options for members who contributed over the years to get some "extra credits" to help getting the tag.
