Hi folks. A friend came over and he has a schweet phone... Shit that thing can take nice photos.. so I thought I'd share a couple...

Day 42 12/12. You'll notice a big chunk missing on the bottom right. Took the snips to the spider mites.

@Ill_Evan duuuuuuuuuude!!! The SugaShow!!!!!!!!! I think I have been watching him since he came into the UFC after the DWCS. Super entertaining guy. I love the karate style guys. I couldnt believe Pena beat the lioness. Absolute madness. That means the guy that bet $300k on Nunes winning is pissed off. But serves him right. Betting $300k to make a measly $20k, he deserves it. Lol. I am super sad for Dustin but Charles is really good. He took a beating and still made it. Just like he did with Chandler. And the Whitman fest was unbelievable. I have been dreaming for a Whitman triple banger and man did we get it. Once again Justin Gaethje was an absolute monster. Even though that went to a decision it was crazy crazy crazy. What a way to end off the year.

Holy moly these last two UFC events were great! Usman and Rose keeping their titles, although going to the decisions was subpar. This last UFC was just a knockout/submission fest, very cool very yes! @The Grass BaasI've changed my mind of Sean O'Malley. I support the man now. Pena beating Nunes with an odds rating of +1000 fok me. Lastly that crazy RNC by Oliviera, wow wow. Dustin isn't bad at jitsu and got taken like that nuts

On Wednesday, the new “traffic light" coalition presented their plans for Germany. Under the motto “Dare to make progress", the parties presented a 177-page document that includes plans to introduce the controlled distribution of cannabis in Germany. Germany to commence with sale of cannabis Germany’s coalition parties - the SPD, the Greens and the FDP - have set out their vision for Germany in the post-Merkel era. Among other things, the parties’ coalition contract included provisions to ease the laws around the personal, recreational use of cannabis. The contract stipulates that the new coalition “will introduce the controlled distribution of cannabis to adults for consumption purposes in licensed stores.” The document goes on to state that this measure will “control the quality, prevent the circulation of contaminated substances and ensure the protection of minors.” Under current German law, cannabis plants can be grown, sold, owned, imported and exported. While private, recreational use of the drug is banned (although police do tend to turn a blind eye towards small amounts), medical cannabis has been legal since 2017. Do the health benefits outweigh the risks? It is hoped that the government regulation of cannabis will reduce the amount sold by street dealers, which is how recreational users most commonly purchase the drug in Germany. The German Cannabis Association has warned of the dangers of buying drugs from street dealers, suggesting that cannabis bought in this way is often mixed with other substances, such as sand, hairspray, talcum powder, glass and lead. Experts have also suggested that marijuana is sometimes contaminated with heroin or synthetic cannabinoids, which can have severe side effects. The director of the German Cannabis Organization, Georg Wurth, has said that the legalization of marijuana is unlikely to lead to a significant rise in consumption and subsequent unexpected health problems. “Since a significant increase in consumption is not to be expected, (an) increase in the various problems caused by consumption is not to be expected either,” he said. However, the move to legalise the sale of cannabis has drawn sharp criticism from politicians and health advocates. The CDU’s advisor on drug policy, Stephan Pilsinger, has accused the new coalition parties of running an “experiment on the health of our society and our young people." Experts have warned that the use of marijuana amongst young people can affect the central nervous system, which can lead to psychosis and schizophrenia. Sustained use of the drug has been linked to respiratory diseases and testicular cancer. Cannabis: An economic lifeline for Germany? As of yet, no decision has been made regarding the sale of recreational cannabis in Germany. The coalition wants to regulate the distribution of the drug, so as to better control who can buy the drug and the supply. So far, it has been suggested that cannabis could be sold in tobacco stores, pharmacies or even coffee shops, like those found in Amsterdam. Illegalizing marijuana also carries a financial incentive for Germany; a report by the Heinrich-Heine University in Düsseldorf found that legalizing's cannabis could generate around 4,7 billion euros every year in public funds, as well as create around 27.000 jobs. Wurth has argued that the prohibition of marijuana actually costs German taxpayers, as billions are spent every year on prosecuting those who deal the drug illegally. He also stated that the ban on cannabis “promotes organized crime by giving it exclusive access to a market worth billions.”

Guten Tag!

So the pap got WPM. So bye bye Got a happy couple outside sharing a pot Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Might be time to break-in that German passport

mites by defenition belong to the arachnids, spiders, they make webs. if there isn't a dusty corner for one of those uglies to nest, they'll make one.

@Hooper looking good man, one big plant to fill the tent, I still have to try this at some point! how long you vegging for? how big is the tent and the pot? your situation with the spiders mites sounds a little like you got a little nest or infestation somewhere either in the tent or perhaps outdoor garden on plants surrounding your house. I like to think of mites the same way as mold spores, because they range from microscopic sized to juuuust about able to make them out with your naked eye. also doesn't help that they congregate on the underside of the leaves so you only spot them when damage is done and in most cases by then you've already lost the battle of infestation. the spider mites we deal with can reproduce sexually aswell as asexually, meaning it takes only one of those buggers to create a colony. just like with mold spores. this is why I think of both those things as "ever-present" and we have to constantly and consistently maintain an unfavourable environment for those two to take host. I am sure you have heard of IPM (- Integrated Pest Management), that term came along quite some time back when farmers realised they can't wait to see when damage has been done, but rather consistently do weekly treatments throughout certain phases of the plants life. now you might say, but hey you're not a farmer truth is if you growing something that would deliver a crop and you're depending on the quantity and quality of the crop and you would like to use products to have consistent crops and harvests, then you're farming it's just not commercial farming. my suggestion would be to redo your clean up, make sure there are no mites on your plant before bringing her in the tent again. otherwise you risk them infesting your tent. they nest in the strangest of places, if there is enough space for a dust bunny to collect they'll nest there. in your lights, in your fans, in your air ducts, on the material of your tent, on your clothes, on your arm hairs. those fuckers are literally everywhere, they can even travel in the wind bringing us back to the idea that they act more like mold spores than insects and you need to be taking care of them even when you don't see any signs of them being present. also big shoutout to mr.Bos for dropping the most crucial piece of information on this subject don't get stuck on one product, pests in your area will thank you for it. I know a lot of people talk about the margret roberts stuff, but from my experience (which is limited) I have better results with BioNeem and Pyrol. 2 good products to add to your IPM arsenal. Pyrol for once off contact treatment. Neem for weekly preventative. but most importantly, don't wait to spot infestations before beginning treatments. work them into your routine

These are a few of my latest pickups over the last couple months.

Who else keeps their old empty seedpacks as trophy's? Lost a few due to gifting over the years.
