looking forward to seeing some badass pictures of solar eclipse pot plants in this thread tomorrow

PDX traffic is non-existent today, and pretty much non-existent throughout the region. No eclipse millions showing up as was still being predicted as late as this morning, though there are a lot of people parked along I-5 in Salem. PDX is on the 99.2% totality line, and people are staying put for the most part. Prineville seems to be the hot spot for the throngs at a big viewing event there. Madras is busy, but not overwhelmed.

50% dim now. Eerie outside, like an overcast day but not a cloud in the sky. The weather in Oregon is near perfect for the eclipse, save for a very few spots of fog along the coast, mostly south of Lincoln City. The SF Bay area is fogged in today.

Amusing, even 1% of the sun is too bright to look at without my NASA approved glasses. Very dark/dim outside here now, interesting shadow and sunlight patterns playing out through the tree leaves on the ground now as well. A crescent sun. And it is cold out now... the sunlight has no intensity. Nothing noteworthy to take photos of here at the 99% line.

 

[Orrie]

Stayed home with the wife and enjoyed the 99% totality
incredible experience to say the least
last two pics are of totality and a moonlight effect as the sun came out again

 

[PDX Dopesmoker]

yeah the leaf edge serrations produce a pretty nice pinhole camera effect, hopefully eclipse grown bud turns out to be something special as well.

 

[Orrie]

yeah, hoping everyone has a harvest this year that eclipses all others


a few more pics thru the leaves

Yeah, I noticed the odd semicircle sun/shadow effects through my pine trees here cast on the sidewalk too. Your basic pinhole camera effect. Those are solar eclipse crescent images.

 

[Orrie]

Did you happen to notice the crescent changes direction after totality? The first two pics in my last post show before and after crescents. Pointed down at first then up like a smile

I was hoping for some haze on the haze like the day prior to eclipse

If you're looking for a den of thieves like the bar in star wars the NW Cannabis Club might be worth looking at. Place is very active on Monday nights for the weekly dab-a-thon and the first Thursday of every month when the gardening club meets. Its dimly lit, smoked filled and there is often lots of talent hanging around.

That's a hook up. He wants to link up.

Supposed to hotter than hell again here this coming week in western Oregon. High 90s and 100s now predicted in the PDX area again this coming weekend and all week long. And MORE SMOKE. Lots more smoke from Canada, Washington, Eastern Oregon, and Northern California, depending on the wind direction. *cough*

My Cannabis plants seem impervious to this heat though. They simply love heat. Grape Ape is going ape. Spider mites also love this heat though, so I am spraying extra neem and H2O2/sugar on my plants this week.

[FONT=arial,helvetica,sans-serif]During the 2017 Legislative Session, the Legislature passed SB 1057 which requires OMMP registered grow sites (except as exempted below), processors and dispensaries to decide to stay registered with OMMP or become licensed by OLCC.

OLCC Rules Adjusted for Pesticide Testing of Usable Marijuana

OLCC Rules Adjusted for Pesticide Testing of Usable Marijuana

OLCC Rules Adjusted for Pesticide Testing of Usable Marijuana



With Expanded Testing Capacity in Place, Sampling & Testing Procedure Reverts to 100 Percent Batch Testing

​

​

​

​

Beginning today, August 30, 2017, every batch of usable marijuana (flower and leaves) must be tested directly for pesticides according to the Oregon Health Authority’s testing rules in order to be compliant. This includes untested product that was collected for sampling prior to August 30.​

​

Some temporary rules regarding the sampling and testing of usable marijuana have expired, and Oregon Liquor Control Commission Recreational Marijuana Program licensees are required to follow updated OLCC and Oregon Health Authority rules.​

​

​

​

This reminder follows an August 11, 2017 OLCC Compliance Bulletin CE2017-09 sent to Recreational Marijuana Program producer and laboratory licensees explaining the rules adjustment. The bulletin is also posted on the OLCC Recreational Marijuana Program website.​

​

​

​

The Oregon Liquor Control Commission issued an order to limit pesticide testing of usable marijuana meant for retail sale to consumers on October 3, 2016. At that time, OLCC staff found that there was insufficient lab capacity for 100% batch testing of usable marijuana for pesticides. On March 3, 2016, the Commission made a similar determination and extended temporary rules to allow for the continued practice of testing one-third of the batches.​

​

The Commission recently examined the issue and determined that limited lab capacity issues that existed in October of 2016 have been mitigated. Lab testing capacity has increased to ensure a steady flow of product through the supply chain. Last October, fewer than five labs were accredited to test for pesticides; today there is more than double the capacity. Additionally, the Oregon Health Authority’s most recent testing rules increased by 50% the amount of usable marijuana that can be tested together in a batch.​

​

More information can be found on the OHA medical marijuana website.​

​

The Commission will continue to monitor market flow and respond to any issues that arise with the expiration of the temporary rule.​

Fires and unintended results.

Fires and unintended results.

We have several fires going out my way and it Sucks for work but plants are loving it . free co2 and early flowering

 

[HorseMouth]

Is that $480 a one time fee? or is it yearly? Is that on top of the $200 per/patient I pay for?

I went to the site read everything they have. It looks like just another money grab for the OMMP growers to stay in the program. When you live in a county that voted against Rec it's not like we have much of a choice to go to Rec/OLCC.

Am I reading this wrong?

Peace

State issues new plant limits for medical marijuana

State issues new plant limits for medical marijuana

Oregon public health officials this week drafted new rules for how many plants medical marijuana cardholders may grow at home or at a grow site registered with the state.
The regulations are the result of legislation passed this year to tackle the flow of medical marijuana into the black market.
The bottom line for medical marijuana patients: A residence, no matter how many people live there, may have no more than a dozen mature plants -- and that includes recreational ones.
Here's how the new guidelines break down for patients and grow sites:
Patients growing for themselves at their residence:

• Patients and their caregivers may possess a total of six mature plants and a dozen immature plants. Those limits include any plants they opt to grow under the state's recreational marijuana law. Under state law, households may grow up to four plants for recreational purposes.
• The law does not define the size of immature plants in this scenario.
• A residence may have no more than a dozen mature plants and two dozen immature plants. That limit includes recreational plants.

Grow sites in residential neighborhoods in cities:

• May have a maximum of 12 mature plants
• 24 immature plants over 24 inches high
• Unlimited number of immature plants less than 24 inches high

Grow sites outside of cities and residential areas:

• May have a maximum of 48 mature plants
• 96 immature plants over 24 inches high
• Unlimited number of immature plants less than 24 inches high

The state has grandfathered into the system grow sites that have continuously operated since Jan. 1, 2015.
Grandfathered grow sites within city limits and residential areas:

• May have a maximum of 12-24 mature plants
• 48 immature plants over 24 inches high
• Unlimited number of immature plants less than 24 inches high

Grandfathered grow sites outside of city limits and residential areas:

• May have a maximum of 48-96 mature plants
• 192 immature plants over 24 inches high
• Unlimited number of immature plants less than 24 inches high

The maximum number of plants for these sites is based on how many patients have been continuously served by the grow site since 2015.

Robrites,

Thanks for these summaries. They are really valuable and appreciated.
