I am no hippy that believes in karma.

I had a conversation with a buddhist monk in Chiang Mai about a year ago where we discussed how karma is basically just a person's subconscious mind and it was pretty meaningful to me.

My interest in breeding relates to how the choices a breeder makes relate to karma and how ingesting the fruit of my choices and care is just very romantic in a spiritual sense to me. Especially when I am working with genetics from breeders who themselves seem like decent people. It's like a chain.

Thats fine as a personal hobby. But to find real medicine feelings are not helpful.

Also if you see a company selling seeds money is the agenda. Real “hippies” give their strains away for free.

Since we're on the topic, the generally understood Buddhist concept of karma differs from the Hindu one in that it's only used to denote a person's actions and their intent, not the consequences of them. It's understood in the context of being the cause of "dukkha," which is roughly translated to ennui, dissatisfaction, or existential angst that we feel as a result of our life circumstances.

In effect, our general circumstances are in a way the sum of our actions via dependent arising (conceptually similar to the law of cause and effect), and our karma is the mechanism by which the present continually manifests through the lens of the self.

Any reasonable response to this would be long enough that I should probably take it to my thread lol.

heres a response. Any reasonably intelligent modern human knows there is only cause and effect.

Man, come on. Really?

Do you just ignore quantum mechanics? Or any attempts by physicists to deal with the preponderance of data they are gathering w.r.t. reality?

Philosophically, how about Hume?

I mean if we want to be all serious.......the idea of a clockwork universe is simply countered by too much at this point.

Yes i ignore quantum mechanics. When we stop making up math to simply hypothesize and actually have some proof of something i will pay attention.

I think humans will believe anything at this point. No facts or proof needed. ;-)

A physical and genetic map of Cannabis sativa identifies extensive rearrangements at the THC/CBD acid synthase loci

Cannabis sativa is widely cultivated for medicinal, food, industrial, and recreational use, but much remains unknown regarding its genetics, including the molecular determinants of cannabinoid content. Here, we describe a combined physical and genetic ...

Also of particular interest to me: wild cannabis is repeatedly called "extremely heterozygous."

You guys got any testing you want to do with respect to freeze drying or curing or anything? I'm gonna freeze dry some of each plant.

I wonder what the difference in cannabinoids is with different curing methods, especially the minors like CBG CBN etc. Could maybe do a series of 8 TLC tests?

First would be the 5 plants freeze dried and tested right away.

Second would be at the end of air drying and the start of cure.

Week 1

Week 2

Week 3

Week 4

Week 6

Week 8

If we wanted to split the curing into 2 methods we could do that too. Maybe to burp or not to burp? Brown bag or glass? glass vs plastic? I dunno.
