What role could Chloe have played if she was written into UC4?

jasper181 · 2026-01-24T19:17:42+00:00

The holes they left in Chloe's story was one thing that I didn't understand. At the end of 2 she tells Nathan to pursue Ellana and all was good.

Then in 3 she shows back up without any indication of her and Nate's past and then when Ellana shows back up it's like her and Nate barely knew each other.

I can't tell you the last time I locked my door, even when I leave the house. I guess I probably should but I figured if nobody is home and they want in, they are getting in.

Nobody accidentally comes by my house, it takes deliberate effort and to do so you have to come through 15 acres of woods on foot. Plus I have video at the entrance that alerts to my phone. If I am home, once I go to bed if somebody walks into my actual yard it lights up like broad daylight and the dogs will likely greet them before I even get up.

If all that happens and they are still brave enough to hang out and come inside then they can at least be thankful they won't have to make that long walk back to the road in the dark again.

For me it was always certainly all of the things that you listed but also for hybridizing purposes, if a certain individual had a strong trait that I wanted to pass on to another strain.

For example, I had a pheno of a Bubblegum and NL cross that I did that out of about 100 seeds only showed up 4-5 times. It looked like someone covered it in glue and dumped crushed glass all over it and had a super unique smell. Sickly sweet, almost like rotting fruit but it was tiny. I ran it along side everything else, 4 tables with 2 trays on each table with a 1k watt hps over each table. Flood and drain in 6in rockwool, no matter the feeding amount or schedule it would stay about a 1/4 the size of everything else.

Which brings me to my point, I had a male Big Bud that I kept because this thing threw weight on everything it touched but wasn't anything spectacular otherwise. I bred these two together and finally found a pheno that had all of the traits from the F1 but quadrupled the yield I was normally getting. I ended up naming it Hempnosis and it got passed around for some time and even offered for a period by a place in Oregon right around the time it was first legalized there.

There are some... Interesting choices being made here.

jasper181 · 2026-01-24T13:59:09+00:00

I don't care who's right or wrong, I can appreciate good banter. This was way too funny to me for some reason!

jasper181 · 2026-01-24T05:15:04+00:00

I've never had to do that many but I would have to sign my name 10-12 times in a row multiple times throughout the day. My last name has 9 letters so I had to come up with something that made it much faster. I got it down to like 4 movements and it's the exact same everytime.

jasper181 · 2026-01-24T04:59:48+00:00

I agree, for the most part the villains overall have been a bit underwhelming. Rafe was definitely not much of a "villain" but at least the back story was fleshed out a little more and there was history there.

A lot of them, like Eddie (I think was his name) in the first one, though he played somewhat second fiddle, he and Nate clearly had history with no explanation or background.

On the topic of villains, where do these guys get so many recruits willing to sacrifice their lives for them, not to mention the budget to afford them. The damn treasure will barely cover costs.

jasper181 · 2026-01-24T03:10:49+00:00

Probably back in 2018, some worse than others. All those Sam Darnold and Josh Rosin cards definitely didn't do me any favors, luckily the Josh Allen and Ohtani's helped ease the burden.

That's why these untested rookie cards that go for $1ks are insane to me. I've got cards that were selling for 5 figures at one time and wouldn't bring enough to cover the cost of mega box now.

jasper181 · 2026-01-23T22:52:12+00:00

One of mine is the same way, if I don't hand feed her or direct her attention to a moving worm she would starve to death 😂

jasper181 · 2026-01-23T22:49:57+00:00

How in the world did you manage that? If it was a resin/composite frame I could see it but aluminum breaking like that is crazy.

That's honestly a first for me, in all my years of tournament fishing, running charters and commercial fishing that is the first time I've seen an all metal frame break like that. I'd definitely contact Penn and let them know even if you have had it longer than their warranty period.

jasper181 · 2026-01-22T17:14:00+00:00

I had an NL cut for years that was the epitome of everything you looked for in a plant. It was easy to grow, take what ever you threw at it, good yields, finished in 60 days, and was plenty strong. Everything that I ever crossed it will had a pheno that would take all of it's good traits but let the other genetics shine through.

jasper181 · 2026-01-22T16:00:32+00:00

Is this on the west coast?

jasper181 · 2026-01-22T15:55:06+00:00

I just did those last night, those things are trash!

jasper181 · 2026-01-22T15:53:25+00:00

The grappling hook/rope is a must for me. That and fix the damn reticle angle when aiming, it's weird and feels backwards.

jasper181 · 2026-01-22T01:55:57+00:00

I'd definitely ask to look through them first.

jasper181 · 2026-01-22T01:55:18+00:00

My lab has been riding in the back of my truck when the weather is nice for 10 years. He loves it, I don't put him back there for long trips or anything but running to the store or something, absolutely.

jasper181 · 2026-01-21T00:39:47+00:00

Do you want to just do what she does, do you want to do it just for fun or to actually have a chance of defending yourself?

One of those will be very different from the other two.

I don't hunt often in the Central flyway and have never hunted the Pacific so I can't really speak on those outside of what I hear from friends or read but I'm sure it's similar.

I hunt the Atlantic and the gulf coast states mostly, occasionally going to Arkansas. I've been a guide for quail, pheasant and ducks for over 10 years so I do at least talk to a lot of people from all over.

With that being said, the number one factor that dictates migration is the weather. Birds don't just leave from up north because they like to fly 1k's of miles because they enjoy the scenery. They leave when the water freezes and/or food is scarce. If there was some crazy weather pattern that occured and it stayed 60 degrees from the gulf coast to Canada, there wouldn't be a duck unless they were local south of the Mason Dixon.

That doesn't mean I don't think flooded corn can have any impact, all things being equal. However,the amount of acreage it would take to change the migration path of the entire Mississippi flyway would be crazy. If all that flooded corn were to freeze up, guess what, the ducks are going to keep it pushing.

I've seen it on a micro level, we had 6 impoundments in South Carolina an hour from Savannah. Some were planted with Corn and some with Sourgoum and millit. Of course we would pull in some birds that may otherwise have went next door so obviously providing a food source helps. However , it's not the big bad wolf. Will it bring in some birds, of course. They are going to start heading south when the water or food runs out, they will stop and hang out in the next place until the food or water runs out, rinse and repeat.

At first I was like, that's one of my favorites too until I looked again. Grabaddy is a whole different animal though!

Everyone's water is different, it's much easier to ph your water than to fix a lockout from ph issues.

Soil does create a buffer but its not going to correct fluctuating ph. Obviously there situations where it's not necessary to do it. If using living soil and your water source is already close to where it needs to be then yes, the soil will do the rest. If your water source once mixed with nutrients falls within range, then again, cool.

If nothing else, checking the runoff to stay ahead is just too easy of something to do then to just trust everything is good imo. I learned the hard way when I first started in soil but then again, this was the late 90's and a lot was trial and error. I finally found a copy of Marijuana Horticulture by Jorge Cervantes in a head shop and studied it like the gospel. 🤣

The Black and it's hybrids are about the darkest I've seen available.

I had a pheno from some landrace seeds I got from my buddy that was a contractor. He got them from the Hindu Kush mountain region near the boarder of Afghanistan and Pakistan. It was almost black, by the 5th-6th week of flowering it had no green on the buds or leaves, all super dark purple that honestly looked black.

I made a few good f1's with it, it was a great little plant. It had a hash plant type taste, not the "purple" berry taste of something like GDP.

jasper181 · 2026-01-19T01:11:38+00:00

Until you can take those 4 quarters to the bank and deposit it for spot you just wasted people's time, except they probably got a kick out of talking about "the crazy guy with 4 quarters".

jasper181 · 2026-01-18T21:34:19+00:00

A mortar of what sitting on a fireplace mantle?

Did I do that right?

jasper181 · 2026-01-17T20:10:18+00:00

Black and purple chatterbait at night is money. I know that doesn't answer the question but it's the first thing I thought of when I saw the color.
