Dude those are invasive in the Pacific Northwest now. That's why I referenced them.

Sorry to spill the beans on it. Good luck with that btw. Hope you're not too far into NorCal

We got the European giant murder hornets invasive out here, they're just as gnarly and the sting as just as bad, and honestly they look even angrier because their heads are red, but they don't swarm up like the Asian ones.

I got one in the freezer hold on lol

Great. I’m very excited. Overwhelmed with wonder.

 

[TheGoldenRoad]

Nvm, Mom must've thrown it away over the winter. I dropped it here last summer and DNR was supposed to come get it but they never did lol

I would throw it away too. I’d be worried about what would happen if I lost power and there was a thaw.

I found a tarantula sized pineland trapdoor spider here last summer that's only been documented a couple times, and only in Florida. And only once in 2018 and 2021 I believe. Was unwilling to touch it or even let it know I was there lmao. Was like a giant caveman spider moving in slow motion

Didn't realize what it was til I looked it up. I figured it was an escaped tarantula. I didn't report that one tho, didn't want DNR digging around the yard lmao.

Now watching my son working in the yard and seeing his first tarantula four years ago was some epically funny stuff.

@TheGoldenRoad


Check out all this "NOPE" and you'll see why I was completely and utterly unwilling to touch this f****** thing hahahaha.

Leg tip to leg tip this thing was like five or six inches across

These are not only in Florida. Absolute promise

I found a f****** funnel-web spider at my last place too. Could have swore that was an Australia thing

 

[PlumberSoCal2]

Those Praying Mantis babies have eagle eyes. That’s all the closer I could get before it hid under a fan leaf.

My newest baby

She's still not sure about me yet but if she survives for a while she'll come to love me. I always stop to talk to them and they seem to enjoy it

The one on the right is the spider version of a short fat man with sausage fingers

Does anyone else hate using a weed grinder? This is a discussion I’ve had with many people during sessions.

Personally i hate the texture of weed out of a grinder and prefer breaking it up by hand.

Thoughts? Opinions?

Depends on the moisture state of the bud

I have a 4 piece that works. Really don’t need all those levels. I’d rather smoke the keef with the bud

 

[MartyMcFly42oh]

That’s no bueno there. I’ll bet you’re right though. Call me crazy but some pretty gnarly stuff has made its way from China to our Mainland here in the US in recent years. Oh and let’s not forget the nice balloons they sent

Alls I have to say about that:

 

[Thatoneguyyouknow_]

Very pleasantly surprised again. Been a great stretch of time for discovering new bands for me.

 

[BB22]

What is Fusarium graminearum, the fungus US authorities say was smuggled in from China?

Federal prosecutors have charged two Chinese researchers with smuggling a crop-killing fungus into the U.S. last summer.

apnews.com

Something tells me a new fusarium strain, and a single Chinese smuggler, is just the tip of the iceberg on this.

Wasn't long ago attacking a foreign powers grain production was considered a direct act of warfare. Pretty sure it still is, tbh.

If y’all aren’t up on current events, search Operation Spider Web.

Then search Chinese owned property near US military bases

that one i DEF have my eyes on, but i also (first time dropping this lol) have a nevil collected Mazar i Sharif afghanica x seedsman original afghan land race seed stock thats being hunted by me and a couple others here now. And i got high hopes on it, but that purest indica is def the backup plan there lmfao.

The purest indica is a true bred homogenous plant though. Its more of a true land race indica than a backcrossed in bred line, even though its still technically inbred.

my afghanica x seedsman is a cross between two distinct afghan region's cultivars, so should express some distinct interesting phenotypes i think.

That purest indica is more like what im planning on doing with these lemon haze f8s. Just letting a bunch of plants of the exact same genotype open pollenate with just other plants of the same genotype like what goes on in nature in geographically discrete regions, that way stability can be maintained without excessive gene segregation or excessive recessive trait stacking too rapidly in successive gens

"but that purest indica is def the backup plan there lmfao"...
It'd be a good choice. I've got a fair amount of Todd's gear and popped "one" Purest Indica bean just to fill up a space under 12/12 in a two gallon container that turned out to be female. She's laid over so you can't really see that she's over a foot and half tall. I've pulled her early in that we've got company coming to stay for a week. Even at 66 days she looks Great. Food for thought on your venture.

 

[MartyMcFly42oh]

at least thats a debatable topic on good or bad as a big picture kinda thing.

im pretty sure cow killing tick swarms are bad in any context


You have me wondering now... Would i rather be torn apart quickly by a pack of wolves? Or covered in so many swarming ticks that hold on so hard, i cant do anything about it and bleed to death

Jesus, thats a pretty damn intense "would you rather" Might as well throw bull shark attack into the mix while im at it since one of those got found so far up the mississippi it coulda got into the great lakes no prob if there werent carp dams


OOOOOOOo, i got another one. Asian murder hornet swarm!

(seriously tho, when i go work in the yard i keep a fixed blade hunting knife to scrape them off my legs, i cant grab em lol. I have so many tick scabs i look like a needle jocky. If these things start taking on spotted fever, lots of people are gonna get super fucked up fast including me)

You fuckers got me over here itching and scratching now, especially with the tick talk I had a deer tick latch on a couple weeks ago, I take no chances with ticks nowadays. Got a prescription online from some company for Doxycycline and had it filled at a local pharmacy. $77 bucks for online consultation and cost of prescription. Would’ve cost $250-300 to go to urgent care without insurance. Best part was that I got a full bottle of pills rather than a single dose. So after a little studying I found that 400mg’s is the effective dose, so I took my required dose and saved the rest for next time, because living in New England, there’s gonna be a next time.

 

[Thatoneguyyouknow_]

Creepy little thing

there aint nothing little bout those fuckers. Its like a tarantula, only its wearing a solid black suit, and has jet black eyes.

Shit did not have a kosher vibe at all. It moves slowly too. Like, its legs and shit look suuuuper unnatural compared to any other spider iv ever seen.

Gonna see if i can find a video.

Only way to roll a blunt! : ) love the fluffed up herb. And it gives you a chance to pick out the stems.

@TheGoldenRoad JFC dude, they live in the walls.

I deeply, deeply regret trying to find a video





ill catch snakes, spiders, all kinds of shit ever since i was little, i went to scoop this thing and it gave me chills, so i didnt. Its got a whole vibe and i dont like it. Fucking demon spider, man.

 

[Thatoneguyyouknow_]

heh...

Demon spider man

Finally got my new cloner machine. Not bad for $50 , complete set up and even had a pack of cloning gel in it too.

Nice, say hellow to 100% rooting rates.

make sure to use distilled or RO water not tap, or youll have some goo trying to grow from the dissolved solids eventually lol. Gets real bitchy if it gets into the atomizer nozzles. If you have well water thats even worse than tap.

and heads up ive seen gel cause goo blooms too (i assume its fungi or bacterial blooms) so ya may wanna throw like half a cap of peroxide in there every few days to avoid any goo. Fwiw you dont need to use rooting hormone in bubble or aero cloners, but it will speed things up a bit. I dont like using it when ive used one though because goo.

Goo is a fun word. I could call it mucilage, that's the proper term, but thats not a fun word.
