It would be awesome if bees could actually make honey from cannabis pollen instead of doing nothing constructive but carrying weed pollen around to plants, wouldn't it? (drool)

You want a real treat try some pixie tangerine honey, it's a local thing around here.

It would be nice. The bees use male pollen for protein and females to help build the nest, theres no nectar for them to utilize for the honey. But they do clean honeydew off outside plant as well help with pest control. But the honey they produce is really good because of the additional supplements cannabis provides for the bees.

I'm good on that lol. Maybe just a tiny ass dab on the tongue, screw that spoonful stuff. I don't see the fun with getting extremely cold because of low blood pressure. I would rather do some Ayahuasca or peyote or even some psilocybin. At least I know what I am getting into with those.

If someone ever tells you bees puts THC in honey they are smoked . The only way is through infusion. Also if bees got the THC in there some how, they have no way of decarboxylation lol

I wish I had that kind of money sadly not really an option, and yeah the light was originally purchased for vegetable growing in a small tent. Bought the tent on wish forever ago and ordered a 2x2 tent and got a 4 foot by 10 foot tent that's 7 feet tall and don't really have anywhere to put it and the light was def too small for that so the tent is in storage. But yeah it was not intended to grow this kind of green when purchased, I'm actually surprised with how well it seems to be working considering i have it strapped to the 10 foot tall ceiling at about maybe 3 foot away from the top of the plants. And it keeps the room a balmy 79 degrees pretty much at all times.

Trust me I wish I had money like that too lol. It's taken me time to afford what I have now. It's always a perpetual thing with growing equipment. Lights burn out and degrade after time. So with time you always end up having to get new things. Also for me, it was a stepping stone with growing. The first grow I did alone was 20 years ago. I had hand me down equipment from my uncle's operation and a ton of Okie doke Fox farm products because none of my family would ever give a breakdown of what to feed because either they didn't want me to be successful or whatever the old way of life used to be. All they had me do for years is mix soil, fill pots. Move plants and trim, so pretty much the not so fun stuff lol. So I decided to learn, and It takes time. And now days you have access to information at a stroke of a key. What you have works, as long as it's what you have at the moment.

Foxfarm is actually what I'm using currently, lol I bought a bag and it happened to come with a wolf spider in it, found it when I transplanted them, he has a den under one of the bigger plants and comes out and catches the gnats that show up, super handy, any bad things that can come from having a pet spider guarding the plants?

Well baby spiders lol, and I always just don't like spiders and weed, it makes me think spider mites even though they don't come from wolf spiders. I just don't want spider silk on my indoor flowers. Buy big box store soil can sometimes come with mites or pests of some sort. I avoid buying soil from those sources unless it's for my veggie garden or something of that nature. I mix my own soil for my mother's and I do my own coco blend mix. I like to do to have a hand in almost every part of my grow. Over time you find things that works and then things that work better. There are specific lines that make it easier and give you feeding charts. But you will find that different strains like different things, so I have found my ways of being able to adjust the different needs for each strain individually dialing in each time I go through a grow. But for growing cannabis, fox farm works pretty decent. It just can cause nutrient lock if your not careful. They have a feed schedule. But I found it to be pretty heavy. That was along time ago though. There are people that have perfected using Fox farm. So if that's the route you choose, it is possible to achieve decent results. My brother used fox for years and did ok but when I was using canna organics and running the exact same strains, and pulling higher quality and a very noticeable increase in yield. He ended up making the switch. Since then I have done so many variations of things. I have ways that work for what I am willing to do these days. I try to spend as little of time around my plants as possible. Having a security knowing I can leave my plants alone, and not have to worry about what to do, or having what they need on hand.

Wolfies don't make web, they're ambush predators so I'm not worried about any webbing from him. But here is my rudimentary setup and a closeup of my pet lol. He literally solved the fungus gnat problem I had because they prefer not to fly so he chases em down.

Last dose was a quarter of amazonian cubensis in the middle of the woods in the dark. Man oh man, I tell you what. That was a great time. Driving home the next day in the afternoon after spending the whole day trying to sober up. The drive was not so fun lol, I had to pull over a few times.

Damn that's no good. You could possibly try rinsing the shrooms in a solution before drying them. There has to be some way of sanitizing them from the mold. It does show why you need a full sanitized unit for spore production. But in my opinion the mold isn't to much of a concern to me. That's how penicillin was found lol. I think it's green and blue are fine grey and black your dead on your back? Something like that

Or even to much humidity. Not sure. But it makes me want to bust out my fish tanks lol and order some spores. But I haven't had to since I live in WA and there is so many people that have so many variations, all the way to the psilocybin clinics in Portland
