Yeah man changed my life for sure. Made life very difficult for a while mentally but it built resilience like you wouldn't believe. Takes a ridiculously bad event to shake me now. Couldn't do it for more than I did though.. 10 years was enough.
Haha yeah man you get tunnel vision.I used to watch the TV show EMERGENCY when I was young. That's what made me want to be a fireman. After the Army, I figured it would be a nice diversion while I adjusted. Did not work out that way. I went from PTSD to a double dose. One day we had 5 or 6 runs into the 'bad' area of town. I was the driver, not the attendant. We were flying all over the place. At the end of our shift the vehicle manager was checking us in and started yelling about the bullet holes in our rig. I didn't even know anyone was shooting at us.
My grandma used the woodash to grow vegetables and fruits in the 1980s, mainly as the flower fertilizer, which can really help plants resist pests, but it is too easy to cause burns, and the pH is too high (above 7),What it's all about bro, enjoying life.
Ah, wood ash, what a outstanding high quality, low cost, Ag product, and amendment.I really like burning the hardwood maple up on the property, it burns so very long and hot, with little ash.
Tthe main chemical component of ash is carbon, with varying amounts of other elements including calcium, magnesium, potassium, and phosphorus, +Si02

All in really good ratio's and energy state. I really think carbon was highly overlooked by myself for a long time, and by many of us, actually. Cause we don't view it like we do traditional nutrient models. What do you think of plant nutrition or fertilizers? Most people, the first thoughts are something along the lines of “NPK,” “CalMag,” or “micronutrients”, or amendments — but these elements collectively make up less than 10% of the composition of most plants.
Whether they know it or not, all cannabis growers strive to sink as much carbon into the grow as possible. All aspects of plant care revolve around carbon, above all else. Cannabinoids and terpenes are roughly 80% to 90% carbon by weight. There is no nitrogen, phosphorus or potassium in a molecule of THC.
Put that in your pipe and smoke it.
Yeah we use it to make lye water for traditional soap making around here. Or we did lol it's a lot of work. One of those, "if I ever need to survive in the bush" kinda skills.
Brah, I love homesteading stuff. We did all that as kids. If we had half the stuff we did then, we wouldn't even have noticed lockdown.
Me too. Just my nature but also by virtue of where I live. It's pretty isolated here, fend for yourself kinda territory. I can't get half the stuff you can in town so you have to improvise. There aren't many things I can't fix or make outright. From automobile repair to gunsmithing to homemade beer or growing food or weed or mushrooms, or building a house. I love that shit.
Yea, when I was in boot, the master sergeant knew I was headed to Aviation Ordinance School (I was the youngest in my entire company), so he put me on the hose straight away, and showed me how to build a wall of water to protect people from heat, and how to keep shit shielded with water. I guess if your working on a flight deck, it could come in handy sometime. lol Especially when your responsible for all the explosives on deck.
That is the best thing I've ever heard from them.
Did that article go into variations based on species and strain? Was it about weed, or a general plant article? Can you post a link to it?
How old are you Dirtbag? If you don't mind saying?
