Whole areas fucked lol right next to corruption, sad and nope! I've had more than on person tell me they consider Albany the asshole of the state of New York.

I wanna see the MA version for the western side, when I cross over the border the roads instantly get nice and smooth and painted with them fancy reflectors. Yeah Taxachusetts sucks sometimes but in my town the old Highway chief is a real corrupt piece of shit and repeat credibly accused rapist. Its not like taxes in NY are a pittance either so I got a feeling were being screwed over.

I think Elmira is top ranked as the worst place in New York to live
Lol yes multiple lists pop up like that. A bunch in the text result said Elmira but when you click the link some changed now. Wouldnt suprise me if Elmira paid a little something to be kept off the rating.

Multiple polls published by "hudson valley"/"albany" folks with a conspicuous lack of any hudson valley/capital region places. Hmmmm, definitely not any bias going on there. But man you Western New Yawkers are just getting slogged in the ratings!

2nd on this ranking is Binghamton. I went to University there for a year before they kicked me out and well yeah I get it lol. Townspeople are people so always a mixed bag but two students got murdered when I was there by other students. Something weird about the vibe there...

So, a whole new regime for me. All in ground. This is my Acapulco Gold from Barney's Farm. My two Mountain Gold are both over eight feet. After such a wet year last year, all of this sun is just baking my girls in a good way. No sign of flowering yet. I think I saw previous mention of Mountain Gold here? We had some Oaxacan back in the mid 70s in So. Vt.... I still recall how green and super clear high it was. Anyone else having fun growing?

Looks like a beautiful few weeks coming up. With the transition from El Ninó to El Niná we should have a prolonged Fall and mild winter.

All the signs I'm seeing are a few weeks early towards Fall. This happened 5-6 years ago, or maybe more I suck at which year what happened, and we had great weather until Thanksgiving. I believe this year will be similar to that.

Predicting weather in the Finger Lakes is only a little harder than predicting the next winning lottery number so take all this with a grain of salt lol

So I found a volunteer out back of the garage. It grew through all the weeds and managed to achieve 8.5' in height untouched by human hands. She effn reeks. Strongest aromas on the plants I have.

It is right near the location of the Sour Bubble x MAHA'S Mindfucker. Clones taken.

Pic was when I discovered it weeks ago. I'll get a fresh one. Pretty sexy plant I must say and the heart of a lioness to make it through that cabbage 😂
 
How's everyone's flowers looking? Here's some Giesel hybrids from CSI humboldt I've been rocking. Happy croptober!
