Yea, I suppose to some degree. Scientific American report we annually eat one to two pounds of live bugs each year for the average American. So smoking them doesn't really give me the Heebie jeebies these days.🐜🕷️ Plus we eat live microbes the trillions; so there's that. My guess is they are regulated mostly too the fans, and undersides, not really ever making it too the insides of the flowers; but that's just a hunch. I've got nothing to back it up.



Yea, just noting that your pollen farm in there would be sustainable for raising the good guys long term. I think with alternate species of plants, your likely also at slightly increased risk; possibly. But that those pollens can be leveraged for a very highly beneficial purpose. If you've always got a few of those good guys lurking; they can replicate far faster than the evil mites, so there would be basically zero chance of ever having problems arise in that vein.

Just a thought. I was really impressed when I had them breeding. Cause I had the bad mites for years, and they always returned. Once I had established the good ones, and actually had some pollens to sustain them over the long haul; when they ran out of prey; they somehow managed to completely eradicate the issue. But there a wonderful preventative IMO.

Woooow...That's a HUGE move, selling your current home and moving to your new home...Smh, I hear ya, been there, done that, NOT fun! 🤦‍♀️ Where ya moving to?

We're getting ready to move too, from Hawaii to Missouri! 😵😱 Ikr! 🤪 I've ALWAYS hated the "moving" thing...Smh...🙄🤫 @ComfortablyNumb 😏....I've moved to Michigan from Hawaii back in '98, but I knew I was returning back HOME to Hawaii! But this time, I'm not too sure of returning back home again...Where we're going and for the reasons we're going there has a lot of UNsureness (new word of the day 🤣)....The challenges and struggles are real, that's for sure....

@amekins....WE got this! 👍🤗😎🚬

Moving is just about the top of my list of things I detest. Where I end up will become a matter of what I can afford which is less than I’d like. So much crap to get rid of. And completely cash poor.

I've lived the last 16 years in Hawaii and I love it. But with the local Gub-mint gestapo, it's time to leave.
I don't like moving either. And that includes getting out of bed, so you can be sure I'm not thrilled to move. But I am looking forward to new places, people and things to see and smoke.

Garden update. Squirt, Blue Dream, and Bigfoot Glue are in week 3 of flower. PKO showed its first ball and so was culled. AB200F is in week 2 of flower. There are two Blue Dream clones and one Squirt vegging. I probably won’t start anything new before I move.

I hear you about moving but it can be an adventure if you've time to plan & choose your location. We only bounce around here once. If you can and have the opportunity to change your routine and have a new start in a new location that will be better for your hart, I mean your mental health hart, whether that be a farm or an ocean, sunshine, snow, country, city,mountain....Cannabis friendly...I say go for it if you're able.

Short moves for me suck, across town, and such, the worst was across the street, down hill luckily but that meant no truck, just friends to move everything, fridge,stove,washer,freezer,+ all the furniture across the street into a basement apartment. I was a friend.

Good luck..😄😄

If I wanted to move maybe. But physically I am really struggling with all the things that need to be done in order to move, and financially don’t have the means to do work to maximize my profits in selling my condo so it just kind of all rolls downhill. I find myself incredibly hard pressed to do the things that I need to do just to take care of myself so preparing to move is just completely overwhelming.

Just zip it up; and if anyone ask tell them you grow your own vegetables; lettuce; herbs.... 😂
Essential oils, especially clove and/or black pepper cover up any/all odors.

Oklahoma is like the "Wild West" I hear after legalization, go there Amy.
I've thought about this one myself, but OK is such a 3rd world; shithole state, couldn't pay me too move there.

Oregon; Washington; maybe even Arizona; New Mexico are good choices in my humble opinion. Cali is getting far too crowded; but there are still area's (far south; far north east) if your willing to live out in the countryside. Plus; any land acquisitions will surely grow over time.

Personally; I think living close to the Ocean and Mountains; is ideal.

Own a bit of paradise on a private island! This lot is situated close to the golf course on a quiet street perfect for a relaxing getaway. Minutes from Everett by boat or passenger ferry. The island offers a large marina, 9 hole golf course, tennis court, miles of sandy beaches and an abundance of nature.

Agreed; short moves are a chore; big moves are an adventure. Might be a scary adventure; but an adventure nonetheless.

Do you have a place in mind to go to, or do you have to move to a certain area?
I have fantasies but that’s about it. The reality is I would like to be able to stay near where I am because my medical team is here. Financially, that’s not really feasible but I don’t want to live in a hovel and I want to know that I’m safe where I am. Definitely considered warmer climates but the legality or illegality of growing cannabis is definitely an issue for me. I have a lot of anxiety about being really far away from where my daughter settles down because I’m not confident I will have the financial means to visit her with any frequency and she’s all I have left. So if I can find some place in Massachusetts, likely a mobile home, that I can afford or New Hampshire or Vermont or Maine. New Hampshire is the closest and most affordable but the most restrictive in terms of cannabis cultivation (they don’t allow it). I’d be pretty happy with Maine but it’s isolated from anyone I know. So then I have concerns about being able to find transportation to and from medical procedures which is something I have to deal with now and it’s hard enough knowing people here and still having to scavenge rides. I feel like a burden.

I might consider moving closer to the Doc so you can use an electric scooter to get there.
Here in Hawaii, scooters can use the Bus system. Do you have anything like that?

No. It’s a matter of anesthesia and not being able to leave alone. That and affordability.
