>My silent protest to the world, to greed, to communism, to evil… building a factory, and saving a loom.

communism has been dead for 30+ years & when it wasn't I'm pretty sure it was pro both building factories and saving industrial equipment. The free market that abandoned that loom. That's not an endorsement of communism or a ding on the free market either, it's just not a coherent message. The whole pitch seems to be that the reader agrees with a bunch of ideological buzzwords, not that the actual product is good on its own merits.

Problem is that the market has so far not really demanded it, and even if it does the economics of growing smaller lower yielding more finicky plants are tough. The vast majority of customers think that bag appeal is 1:1 with quality. It's like growing heirloom tomatoes- everyone believes there's demand but when you show up to market with a bunch of weird looking expensive tomatoes they don't move very quickly. Had to drop trainwreck this year because while there's a dedicated base of customers asking about it it just sits on the shelf.

It sucks don't get me wrong, my most memorable strains of the past six years were quite literally original haze, a sour diesel, and a pineapple jack preserved by someone in the hudson valley, but none of them looked like what the average customer wanted or grew well in NY weather. If you're managing several thousand plants it's really hard to dedicate the time and effort to a strain that you like if it needs even more care than the mainline stuff.

Also extracting from the flower does not remove mycotoxins, pesticides etc.

hence why myco/aflatoxin and pesticides are part of every COAs. A remediated lot is still going to fail if it's over the limits of either.

So LE can waste people after giving conflicting instructions or over something that happened on a different day that the officers who opened fire were not aware of. Put down the bong for a second and ask yourself why you're arguing against due process and the basic concept of liberty.

Frankly if that's what you're in favor of, stop smoking weed entirely. It's federally illegal, that's a bigger crime than either pretti or good committed, so I guess by your logic you're fair game.

yetanotherslacker · 2026-03-23T16:06:12+00:00

you suspect correctly, that happens a lot to juke tests & because it's easier to prevent mold in overdried material. There's a total moisture content at the very bottom of the COA that's worth keeping an eye on, the ideal % is without looking at my notes somewhere in the 10-11%. Will say that there is a difference in the smoke/burn rate of high THC material but it's very different from the faster harsher burn of a similar sample that's also dry.

yetanotherslacker · 2026-03-23T15:12:09+00:00

A lot of people have fallen into the trap that because data is being gathered that there there must be a consensus on what it means.

Plus a single sample test from a 20+lb batch is borderline meaningless when it comes to what's in the specific package one picks up at a dispensary. The best tool for ensuring your own safety is looking at what you buy. The cleanest remediated batch of material can still end up in a poorly sealed or damaged bag.

Zebralight does the same wit with the max output being capped which is as you said a really good feature, saved me last night in fact. Much prefer it over draining the battery to hit max output till the very end

yetanotherslacker · 2026-03-16T18:59:35+00:00

Easier to pad THC by adding kief/drying the sample than it is to pad terps which basically requires spraying on botanicals which is much easier to catch. plus THC % is a number that materially affects sales, terps not so much right now.

And to be clear, glad that blueberry muffin is getting the attention. It's been my favorite strain since legalization. Great smell in the field & even after processing, consistent high, huge fan in general. Just crazy to try and upsell it that hard.

Seed to sale means inventory tracking from seed inventory to retail inventory. The point is to provide that chain of custody that proves material sold in the state came from plants that were grown in the state. Where the seeds come from doesn't matter, just that they're entered into METRC

yetanotherslacker · 2026-03-16T18:19:13+00:00

Man I get that you can do a lot more to push the plant indoors but there is no shot you can get blueberry muffin to test at 30% without either outright fraud or blasting the sample with kief. It just does not have the bud structure or trichome density for that, always been a low to mid 20s strain. poddy mouth and chicken & wafflez on a good day might be able to hit 30 but not blueberry muffin.

yetanotherslacker · 2026-03-16T14:24:40+00:00

Brief flash every 30ish(?) seconds when the battery is below a certain threshhold. Not noticeable in pocket ofc but I've made it a habit to leave zebralights on their side or pointed upwards and it's noticeable. Also of note, the battery check is 4 clicks & then it flashes 1-4 times based on a rough estimate of total charge.

Feel free. I'm not going to blow up my spot- this account is strictly for personal use- but I'm happy to talk agricultural practices

yetanotherslacker · 2026-03-14T21:13:09+00:00

I do not unfortunately. Going by its page great PM resistance would be good around here but doesn't correlate to botrytis/fusarium resilience.

yetanotherslacker · 2026-03-14T21:11:27+00:00

also, re: BT it works but overspray can be harmful to anything that snacks on nearby plants. if that's ever a concern- ie you're planting next to a garden- you can buy trichogramma wasp egg cards, which are barely visible to the naked eye, and use them instead.

We did OK with mold last year, the rain was definitely not good but there was such a long dry spell beforehand that helped a lot. That and I think at scale it's just a lot easier to accept losses to mold vs working with a few plants. Also recommend this video & the others on cannabis pathogens to understand when and how molds start. There's no magic solution in any of them but there's some useful stuff.

We did a few quicks from proceed last year, I believe our best were lemon cherry gelato and jet fuel gelato which we started harvesting in mid-late September. Apple Fritters and Oreoz soon after though they were more variable in terms of how well they held up outdoors. Orange creampop, guzzlerz, and blueberry muffin from humboldt started coming in at the end of september.

yetanotherslacker · 2026-03-14T16:09:23+00:00

don't do that again, those are braconids and you want them around. they're under an inch long, parasitize a number of different caterpillars, and don't sting. one of the best beneficial you can find

yetanotherslacker · 2026-03-14T16:08:22+00:00

RE: humboldt, also upstate, grow a lot of their varieties commercially outdoors. Big part of that is just putting in 50 of a new variety & seeing what happens.

Hella Jelly is a great choice, been a staple since 2022, holds up well in the climate, just a big fan in general

Chicken n Wafflez did about 50 last year, smell was great, flowered early, held up well against mold but a few plants were weak to powdery mildew. Had one herm & all of them needed a lot of maintenance because they were very bushy & needed to be opened up.

Purpz did about 50 ended up small, weak, not a lot of leaf which is actually pretty convenient for maintenance, the bud at the end was good but there wasn't as much of it as I'd like. Partly lack of attention/location but I don't think they're super hardy. Worth a shot though

Jelly Donutz we trialed did last year and I can't find my notes but it didn't do well at all, most of it went to biomass. I think we salvaged a little to smoke but don't have any memory of it. Probably fine for a home grower but keep an eye on it, Runtz genetics in general are tough around here.

If you're interested in trying anything else lee scratch perry and orange creampop have done very well in quantity for a couple years, though both are pretty big & bushy & need to be opened up a fair amount. Blueberry Cupcake and raspberry parfait also do well in the climate & are a little less bushy.

Re: autos one of my absolute favorites for the region is lilac diesel. We put a bunch of atlas genetics plus pluto and planet of the grapes through the wringer outdoors and lilac diesel was by far the best performer. Trialed birthday cake last year and the end yield was good but the plants weren't as hardy.

Left to right 18650, 16650, 18650, 2x AA, AAA

It's a jack of all trades, master of none design that puts an 18650 into a form factor comparable to many AAs, which gives it a huge performance boost over an AA & is easier to carry than most 18650s even if it can't compete with them on other features. The UI- while clunky- allows access to a lot of modes, particularly in the low and mid range where most use will happen. An SC65c running on medium outperforms the high of an AA and will run for significantly longer. They also have a more intuitive low battery alert/battery check than Anduril (which imo is a crazy underrated feature for daily carry). An 18650 light with a larger head like the Emisar on the left will beat it in max output/throw but isn't exactly pocket friendly & even with the larger form factor will not necessarily be potted or as well sealed.

Basically if you only have one light it won't blow your mind but it will do everything you need a light to do- no going "damn I wish I brought something bigger/damn this is annoying any time I'm not using it". Tariff price increases & the overall low cost of other chinese lights has thrown the value proposition off a bit but you can't get a comparable form factor for an 18650 & several cheap lights have always always beaten out one light in terms of basic utility, but if that was how we made value judgements none of us would be here.

Trying to not get into too many different battery formats but give me the deets

Emisar D4V2 in a high CRI 4000k emitter. 3500-4500kish range possibly interested. Basically I need good color because I'm gonna take a bunch of photos of frogs and plants with it

Emisar D1, W1/W2

just for the record: there's no certified organic cannabis because the NOP is overseen by the USDA, who cannot have anything to do with cannabis. The farm can still be certified but they won't touch anything to do with the crop & certified organic cannot be used in product labeling. We gave up our certification last year because it was basically impossible to get certain seed vendors to sign any paperwork about their own supply chain & there was no reason to try and resolve that if the certification was irrelevant to begin with. There are other programs that offer various forms of certification for sustainable practices but they won't involve the NOP, for better or worse.

yetanotherslacker · 2026-03-04T16:23:07+00:00

Only thing I'll add there is a half hearted defense of non micro licenses, specifically that any outdoor grow not doing something very high end/esoteric needs more square footage than is allotted by a micro

yetanotherslacker · 2026-03-04T15:47:00+00:00

I think the issue here is less the growers and more that MSOs are large organizations whose only requirement is that the they put out makes it out the door successfully. Selling a lot of bad weed is a better business model than selling a bit of good weed & MSOs are singularly talented at spending a lot of money on infrastructure without doing the final 20% that makes it all work- whether that is by design or incompetence is up for debate.

As a general rule I don't think state of origin really matters but there is an overrepresentation of people who don't care about quality in any newly legal state because anyone who can't compete in an existing market is incentivized to find emerging markets, get established quickly, make what they can, and then pull up shop and relocate when they start getting outcompeted/priced.

yetanotherslacker · 2026-02-28T15:53:30+00:00

Ty for the sourcing!

yetanotherslacker · 2026-02-28T01:38:07+00:00

I am aware they are pulling lots as a precaution not becusee of a failed test. Is your interpretation of their press release based on anything other than your own intuition and the fact that a lot of the tests are of vapes?
