Love Canal, one of NY's great sites. Like my hometown Onondaga Lake, sometimes (list changes) the most polluted lake in the world trading places with the lake near Chernobyl, but I think lately "people" driving BTRs and shit through the mud churned it all up again so we're back to #2. Also on the top ten list we have Oneida and Erie lol. Also Three Mile Island. And the old explosives mine and manufactury a few miles from me, that's hideously polluted still from WWI.|
NY is nice.

Was bending n Lolly popping my plants last night when the dreaded crack happened thought ahwell this morning haven’t missed a beat before n afters

Was bending n Lolly popping my plants last night when the dreaded crack happened...

Had it happen 2x, and both times honey, aloe, scotch clear tape and wire, and the damn thing sort of wilted for a day, then like nothing. They are tough, in fact my zombie seedling is still gaining height but won't make leaves. Probably going to flop but I might watch and see what happens.
Latina Queen unchanged.

I did none of the above just thought fuck it if it dies it dies n the other branches can take over haven’t seen the zombie seedling

Understood. I utilize the North side of the garage. Large garage, cement floor and overshadowed by Eucalyptus trees. Stays about 10F cooler. It is what it is. If you can setup a tent with cruse control to keep the plant at optimum it might be worth it. I'm personally good, satisfied with the garage dry and curing all in the garage, bags, buckets, Folgers containers, just like we did it in the old days

Well that far back in the day if you were asking me about the cure I'd have said they're too goth and not really my scene I knew nothing about any of that til I was helping an old timer buddy through a grow when he got terminally sick and that was when he went through it with me, the dry, trimming and curing process. He and his brother grew trees on the Big Island back in the 70's. He even had old pics. Unfortunately he passed away before I really ever got to pick his brain on the old school sun growing. Oh and he was another one of those assholes with a perfect garage for drying... his house was a half a mile inland from Bolsa Chica.

This community has been my biggest resource for achieving greater harmony in my garden. Yall inspire and nudge me to step outside my comfort zone and try new stupid shit

Some asshole clown even convinced me to make some of my own seeds, WTF bro you mean intentionally?

I have one time of year where I can dry around 60 degrees and 60% rh. The fall, which can get thrown off easily by excessive rainy weather. Otherwise Im outside those perimeters for the rest of the year. It is what it is though, too bad best drying season is preceded by hottest months of the year when I struggle to keep the tents below 90 degrees. Ohh well.

It shed the seed cap but never made leaves and now it's just growing vertical.

Those sealed blue frozen things, two of those defrosting a day have to keep your temps sane... so buy 6 and keep some frozen all the time.

Not a bad idea I could hang them in pantyhose in between branches and keep a fan in the closet circulating the air.

It's low tech. You can make a water bath radiator too I guess, tons of videos on that.

Awe man, I lived in Seal Beach mid 80's. Hung out at Huntington between 18th and 20th mid to late 70's. Going to see shows by the pier at Golden Bear. Fishing all night on HB and Seal's piers. Lots of awesome memories of frying on the beach. Actually passing out before the sun came up while the surfers were enjoying the peace and quite and waking up after the sun was hot and the surfers long gone Good times.

The drying curing thing is easy peasy once you do it a few times. Don't jar it before it's time. Always tripple check all jars on days 1-5, if for no other reason to enjoy the transitioning. 10 and 20 and 50 days into cure the smells become even better and the smoke is so much mellower. It's honestly no different than growing. Time, patience and a little common sense.

Yeah I should quantify that perspective. Every time I ever heard that guy sing, the waver in his voice always sounded to me like he was about to slash his wrists or something

There are drying racks or pretty easy to make dying racks using pantyhose. I'll tell ya what the old growers told me when I was just starting to learn to grow, hang the plants upside down. That was their religious belief, no lie. It was a fking sin not to take the whole plant down and hang it. If it's real hot leave all the leaves on, it'll slow down the dry. Once dry stash it in paper bags and they'll be ready to smoke within a month. We didn't fill jars or burp buckets or bags and some of that smoke was exceptional, especially for the time.

Aiding the longer aging time by sealed bags or buckets mellows the smoke even more. A good cure won't ever make bad bud good but it sure will make a good bud better, even if the conditions aren't perfect

Gonna name drop my late buddy because there's a good chance you would have met him. Tony Soriano, a Hawaiian dude who was well known in the local surf crowd and really involved with Surfrider Foundation and the surf museum. Ever hear of Ray Bay Surf Club? That was an inside joke he and another guy started. There was a pretty tight crowd of locals that surfed the San Gabriel River mouth and it was notorious for being infested with stingrays. So Tony had his friend sketch out a logo and he had a bunch of tee shirts printed with the Ray Bay Surf Club logo on it. Then any time someone hobbled out of the water on one leg after getting stung, Tony would follow them out of the water and give them a tee shirt. You had to EARN it!

I didn't earn mine, Tony just gave me one. I got to know a lot of the old time locals down there, Bob the Greek, Rockin Fig (his daughter is running the shop now), Rocky McKinnon, KC, Samoa Joe, Evil Roy Poblano (RIP), all good peeps. Somewhere on my reel of photos I have a Pic from a Christmas party Tony dragged me to at Duke's that just looks like me standing there with a bunch of other old farts until you lean in and recognize their faces from old surfing magazines. Okay screw it I took the time and found the photo. That's Fig peeking into the shot from the far left.

Edit: Everyone in the group photo was a surf legend in their day but I know maybe 3 by name.. Rocking Fig, way in the back is PT (Peter Townend) and the lady is Layne Beachly.

No, never knew him but here's where there's a million surfers I was one of them at one time, when I was younger and hated school

In the 80's I had a buddy who lived in the upstairs unit at 8th and Orange. He was from my reserve unit. We were always high AF at drills, you didn't want us going to war for you that's for sure.

Usually the enemy doesn't drill lmao. Although somewhere I have a picture of a social media post from an afghan on telegram or something basically bitching about having a job when he used to just patrol the mountains and get high all day.
