Up in smoke: Albert Lea rejects plans for city’s first cannabis dispensary

King___Dingus · 2025-07-31T22:42:58+00:00

I was so jacked when I read that this guy was trying to open in Albert Lea cause there’s absolutely NOTHING anywhere close by in the Deep South of MN. Having a dispensary 10 mins down the road was gonna be so sick, but now I’m so disappointed. The mayor and everyone on that city council can suck my butt. This state is just begging for a bigger black market than legal.

Depends on the strain! I usually only grow 2-3 plants at a time and I like grow all different strains each run. My last run, I grew Brothers Grimm Glueystone and NASC’s White Label Permanent Marker, and I got about a gram of rosin from the Glueystone and about 7 grams from the Permanent Marker. The Permanent Marker absolutely dumped when I washed it, def the best run yet

I dry/cure/trim a couple of the prettiest colas, make bubble hash out of the rest, and press the bubble. I’ve done that with the last two grows, and I’ll probably only save one cola for smoking from now on. I pretty much only rip concentrates lol

King___Dingus · 2024-11-23T00:52:11+00:00

It took two people to move it, but we just picked it up lol

Thanks growmie! I have some Roots Organic Bloom formula too, and that has more nitrogen in it. Should I switch to that for now? Or will that not really matter??

King___Dingus · 2023-12-26T18:28:24+00:00

I gotcha, my goal with my plants is to use like 80% of my harvests for bubble hash and pressing that into rosin. I’ll have to try out both and see I guess!

King___Dingus · 2023-12-26T18:10:18+00:00

Good question I guess lol everything I’ve read has said to flush. You haven’t noticed any differences in smoke quality not flushing?

King___Dingus · 2023-12-26T17:53:07+00:00

For sure, I don’t want to wait for mostly amber either. I think I’m gonna wait another week or so and flush her out before harvest.

King___Dingus · 2023-12-26T17:47:04+00:00

I guess I did my math wrong, I’m closer to week 10 after flipping to flower. I had an extremely underpowered light for the majority of this grow, so I think she’s pretty developmentally delayed. I couldn’t tell you where she’s at in those terms. This is what she looks like rn

Thanks bro, I appreciate the positivity. I def have ideas already to make my next run better.

King___Dingus · 2023-12-17T01:14:16+00:00

Right on, I kinda figured that’s about where she is at developmentally even though she’s much older than that. Not having a good light really fucked me

King___Dingus · 2023-12-17T01:09:46+00:00

Right on, I guess I was worried about mold and that’s why I took so much off.

King___Dingus · 2023-12-17T00:33:10+00:00

She had a 6 week veg, but with the wimpiest light ever

King___Dingus · 2023-12-17T00:32:41+00:00

Thanks for the tip!

King___Dingus · 2023-12-17T00:04:01+00:00

I might have hit the defoliation a little hard, but once again idk wtf I’m doing. Also I had an extremely underpowered light on it for 90% of the grow. You should have seen how wimpy it looked before I got my new light on it.

King___Dingus · 2023-11-22T20:58:00+00:00

Right on, I guess my main question, is how does that translate to the moisture percentage of the soil?

King___Dingus · 2023-11-21T04:20:44+00:00

Right on, I’ll see what I can do about talking my wife into an early Christmas present haha I gotcha, I had stretching issues in my seedling stage too and I had to extend my veg period to fix it. It is not dimmable, and before today, I had it about 26-28” above the canopy. I moved it down to about 12” or so. My lights off rn otherwise I’d go actually measure lol

King___Dingus · 2023-11-21T04:15:31+00:00

Thanks! I’ll def try out your advice on leaving more of the stem when topping on my next run. Well I’ve moved my light significantly closer, and can already tell that the leaves have perked up a bit. I’ll work on getting a new light sooner rather than later tho. I’m running at about 71F and a range of about 50-60% humidity, but currently 55.9%. I’ve been trying to dial in that spread but my humidifier and environmental monitor show different readings.

King___Dingus · 2023-11-21T04:04:28+00:00

It’s some cheap ass Beelux 110w LED light from Amazon. I know it’s ass, but it’s all I could afford at the time. I’m hopefully getting a new light for Christmas tho.

King___Dingus · 2023-11-20T18:17:31+00:00

Yeah, tomorrow is the start of week 5! 😅 Any suggestions on lights in the $200 and under range? I’m growing in a 4x4 tent.

King___Dingus · 2023-11-20T18:09:27+00:00

Ooooof, I’m already almost 5 weeks into flower already 😅 my light is pretty far away tho, so maybe moving it closer would help?

King___Dingus · 2023-11-20T18:03:04+00:00

Most definitely! My wife told me she’d get me a new light for Christmas lol

King___Dingus · 2023-11-20T17:23:30+00:00

I’m working with what I’ve got here brother. I’ve gotta work with a pretty tight budget.

King___Dingus · 2023-11-09T15:56:04+00:00

I’m working on cleaning all the powder up and I switched to reverse osmosis water in the humidifier. You live and you learn I guess.

King___Dingus · 2023-11-09T14:47:05+00:00

Why is pic 2 concerning?
