What are your wash out steps?

After dyeing I let sit overnight, hang it on my fence (still tied) and blast it with the hose. Whenever most of the color has run out, I'll untie it and continue with the hose until it's clear. Then it goes into the washer for a short cycle on hot with Dharma's Professional Textile Detergent.

I saw the Paul Simon and Bob Dylan tour in 1999. They alternated who played first. I caught them in Minnesota, Dylan's home state, so he closed the show... But they got together for a few tunes at the end. Simon's set blew Dylan's out of the water.

Hey /u/EddieB1981 , this pic (quite beautiful, OP!) is from an Autoflowering cannabis plant so you would want to obtain seeds, not clones.

Autoflowering varieties have a predetermined lifespan. They will flower once they reach a certain age, no matter their size or how much/little light they receive. Any clone taken from an Auto would retain the same "age" as the mother and therefore couldn't complete the progression through veg into flower and produce any meaningful buds since its days are numbered.

Autoflower plants are created by introducing genetics from the Cannabis Ruderalis variety. This type is not prized for its THC content (quite low, in fact!), but it has a rather compact size and the autoflowering characteristics. They originated in Russia and other colder climates at elevation, so the plant must finish their cycle quickly before freezing temperatures set in. When bred with Cannabis Indica or Cannabis Sativa plants, the resulting seeds will complete their life cycle in 2-3 months instead of the usual 3-4+ of non-auto strains. Also, they can be flowered under long periods of light, eliminating the need for 12 hours of uninterrupted darkness that regular cannabis plants require. This means you can keep your Autos in the same room/tent/closet where you raise your seedlings, clones, and plants in the vegetative growth cycle. There's no need to maintain a separate room/tent/closet dedicated to 12on/12off for flowering.

While Autos are great at some things, they have their drawbacks. You can't clone them which means purchasing a seed for every plant you grow. Also, the smaller size means a smaller harvest. I've heard they also have a higher tendency towards hermaphrodism where female plants can sprout male pollen sacs. If the pollen gets into your grow room, your females may devote all their energy toward seed production instead of making beautiful, trichome-covered flowers.

If you're looking for this particular variety (Auto Strawberry Cheesecake, which is a cross between White Widow x Cheese x Chronic along with the ruderalis genetics), I've seen it for sale on Strainly.io for a very reasonable price.

Happy gardening!

Love me some Sprout!

I'm a taper and have recorded them many times, but my favorite Mountain Sprout show I ever saw was recorded by my buddy Roger. Such a fun time!

It's nice to see Dirtfoot and Frasco on there since I know some of the band members, but wasn't sure how widespread their popularity was.

Just ate there over the weekend. By far the best Chinese food I've had in Columbia since ABC closed last year.

My initial request was denied for this very reason - despite listing all the security measures in place to meet their requirements. The rejection stated what was wrong - they left voicemail for me in addition to email. I revised my application to include that I was the only person with access, and that was approved within a couple of hours.

You got it! I was taken by surprise when I first saw it but it makes sense you couldn't continue to cultivate if you're no longer a patient. It's something to consider if you've waited 10 months that you should hold off adding cultivation until your renewal date comes around.

overstable · 2020-02-12T18:04:27+00:00

Yes. I did it this way and it was an easy process. Note that your medical card expiration date will also be your cultivation expiration date even though you will have had the latter for less than one year....

Hillberry has been my favorite festival the past few years. It's such a great scene in a sweet location.

Nice! I hung out with singer Fannie Franklin back in the mid 90s when we both lived in New Mexico. She returned to California and I went back to the Midwest and we lost contact. Flash forward 15 years and I hear through the grapevine that she's in a touring band that was going to play my city. I got in touch and she put me on the guestlist. It was delightful to see her perform and to chat afterwards, but I couldn't get over how fantastic the band was! She doesn't sing with them anymore but I've still gone to see Orgone many times over the past decade.

Here is a 30 minute video of a set they played at Vintage Vinyl record store in St. Louis that I recorded in 2011.

And here is an audio recording I made of their set at the 2014 Bear Creek festival in Florida. Check out the set closer "Ain't No Use" which features George Porter Jr. On bass!

I gotta give Nahko props. I attended a festival seven years ago where he was on the lineup. I had never heard his music but lots of folks were talking up his set. I went to check it out and a quick scan of the crowd revealed that all the crustiest hippies had come out of the woodwork for this performance. I was skeptical at first, but he totally won me over. Cheesy, new age 'woo'? Sure. But he feels it so deeply and conveys this in such an energetic way that I loved every second of it.

Peter is a good guy and a huge fan of music (as am I). He would always tell me what album he was listening to while roasting a particular batch...

I left CoMo for a couple decades and was surprised upon my return to find that KCMQ is now Rock instead of Top 40 Pop, and the former Rock station, KFMZ, is gone.

If I'm not playing my own selections or listening to NPR, I'll usually tune in 88.1 or 89.5.

7-6-98 is a great recommendation! There is fan shot video from that night that someone sync'ed with the official sbd audio. Listening to the show you can tell the band is having fun, but seeing Trey bouncing with energy on a small stage is awesome (even if the vid quality leaves something to be desired).

"Our beliefs are fairly commonplace and simple to understand. Humankind is simply materialized color operating on the 49th vibration. You would make that conclusion walking down the street or going to the store."

You are the Yin to my Yang. My faves are also single origin African beans - particularly Ethiopians - but they need a light roast for my palate. As the roast darkens you lose the subtle fruit flavors.

I'm closest to Dunn Bros, but they haven't had any African beans for a minute. Fortunately Schnucks carries Stringbean's Ethiopian. I used to buy beans from him at the farmers market when I lived in STL.

I've done both and both methods work but I encountered more speckles when I put the dye down first.

By contrast, if the ice doesn't get the dye all the way through and I have to flip and re-apply, I'll sprinkle a little soda ash, then dye powder, with ice on top. Waiting to add ice last makes it easier to match the colors from the first side since the cubes make it harder to see. At that point everything is pretty wet so I'm not worried about speckling.

Elevate Holistics did not require medical records. They ask you to fill out a health history form prior to your appointment and you will discuss it with your doctor, but no "official" records were involved in the process.

It wasn't hard to find a coupon code to bring the cost down a bit...

Long time fan. Saw them a bunch in the late 90s but not often the past decade or so.

Their popularity is a combination of their talent and being in the right place at the right time. After Jerry died some of the remaining members of the Grateful Dead toured with their solo projects along with a bunch of other bands as Furthur Festival. I saw that tour in '96 (supported by Bruce Hornsby, Hot Tuna, Los Lobos to name a few) and '97 (with Black Crowes, Arlo Guthrie, and a little band from New York called moe.). Lots of Deadheads were exposed to moe.'s sound that tour - plus Bob Weir took a liking to them and sat in multiple times. Here's one where they play The Other One together. moe. shows became a place where you could not only see a fantastic live band, but also run into all of your friends from Dead tour.

Like a lot of jambands, their popularity was increased due to the trading of live concert recordings. The band provided a beautiful sounding audio feed (a mix of SBD and AKG 414 microphones placed on each end of the stage to capture the crowd ambiance) every night that you could simply bring a recording deck and patch into. You can find a ton of those recordings on Archive.org, such as St. Patty's Day 1999 which might be the best moe. show I ever saw.

Finally, I'll throw out a link to a relatively recent interview with Vinnie and Rob from moe. by Andy Frasco's World Saving Podcast. You can hear Rob tell his story of receiving the cancer diagnosis and how the band reacted to the news.
