CannaGranny’s Corner a Thread For General BS and Good Will On BudBuilders

NY state is paying our local native tribe, the St. Regis Mohawk tribe, (Nation of Awkwesasne) aka "the rez" to the locals... 15 million dollars, plus 2 million yearly for who knows how long, because of land the state bought illegally at some point in the 1800s... these towns are in my county. The tribe filed a lawsuit in the 80s and it just now got settled. I agree with that since they kinda swindled the tribe out of the a good chunk of land from the already small portion they were... let's say "relegated to." It's all bullshit. This country was built on the backs of native Americans and then slaves, and then the poor whites... to pretend otherwise is dumb. We've always been a country that thrives on oppression and that will likely never change... without full scale revolution that is... but we're all complacent at this point, happy to bitch about it online and live our materialistic little lives absorbed in our phones... it feels too far gone now.
I have trouble keeping up with the posts on here so my bad for the late reply!

Fully agree! This country, as well as most countries it seems, is built on the backs of the masses while a select few control the systems that people could use to get out of poverty.
We will never be able to right the wrongs of the past with money.
Over regulation is just a guise for nickel and diming everyone to death.
Our leaders cheat and steal and expect us to not cheat or steal.
Politicians are just blank billboards asking for someone to pay them to sell their product or ideology.
Modern society is SO technologically smart...yet we have only mapped 10% of the oceans, have the lowest birth rate in history and we are about to nuke ourselves. Maybe all this uncontrolled growth wasn't such a good idea lol.
I think society needs to stop and smell the buds.

Shadey one is sniffing buds this morning! I’m smokin buds this morning 🥰 We be working on it!
 
Well now...if that wasn't some of the most surprisingly delicious weed that I've tasted. And hasn't even had a chance to cure yet. Has that old school Green Crack taste.

I take back everything I said yesterday about my harvest.
I heart the green crack for sure! I may just pop a couple of those seeds too. This coming round will be a mixed bag. I’m popping some dragonsflame genetics mixed with some of my fav stand by fem seeds, as I know it will take a bit to search the fems out.

I got my Critical Magic from Next Gen seeds coming up next, and then @dragonsflamegenetics has a tester pack of seeds on the way to my hands so I can give them a run after the CM. Dragonsflame it up with me!

Shadey‘s new home address! 😂
 
I’m looking forward to watching your process. We all have our ways of growing and we are all comfortable with some and others not so much. I have tried so much through the years that I finally had to ask myself one day what it was I really wanted from all of this. My answer was simple, peace.
A method that requires the least hands on, is forgiving and open to change without a disastrous effect. At that point I already grew more than I could consume. I have broke a lab tested state record on THC content, Old biker friends smoke half and put it out, so no doubt it’s quality. What more could I want from this plant?
Soil was my answer. Low stress, same outcome, versatile, easily corrected. More physical work, less freaking out over ppm.
Having found peace with a process is a kind utopia 🥰
I haven't started in soil yet because I've kind of been obsessed with learning the NPK stuff and all the other goodness with the sciency-synthetic grow method lol.
This next run though I think is the right time to try soil out. Maybe I'll do a side by side, one double fish breath clone in soil, one in salt. Also have some Triangle Death Skunk seeds coming from @dragonsflamegenetics so gonna rock those one in soil one in salt as well. Yolo lol.
 
Sounds like a busy day! This just kicks off my summer med making. Next will be the mint harvest and the echinacea. (Aka pale purple coneflower). The coneflowers are pure and natural antibiotics. Dig the roots up, wash and sun dry and then pound the roots to dust. Then on to golden seal (another natural antibiotic) and the ginseng season. A plethora of free and natural meds 🥰
IIRC you can use the roots and other parts of my Oregon Grape like that.

So many things the past owner had planted. Even Golden Rod. Wasted on us but I wonder what she did with them all?
 
Bear meat, politics, parasites, and a general kindness of the human race all being discussed on da corner.
Man! I love you guys! No disappointment here.
Now, let’s spark one up and tell me how ya really feel! 🥰
Think we need shrooms and a campfire first, with a safety screen, because...you know...shrooms. 🤷😝

Solved the worlds problems once or twice this way as a kid. But forget how by morning. 😔
 
Afternoon Shadey!
Once you get over the shock of the truth, take your life back. Too live in a state of fear or depression is a goal of the enemy. Most would have you to believe there is no good left. As you said above there is. I see it everyday because I allow myself to see it. We are the sole drivers of our own matrix Mobil’s.
The control and break down of family values started in the 1970’s, when due to the economy for the first time Mothers left the family home. It took two even back then to make a living.
I was lucky enuff to have my wife a stay at home mom - and no disrespect to anyone but I believe it made a difference in my children’s success .
 
I have a gas stove so I had to MacGyver it when I made rso... used an electric griddle... now I have an actual electric burner... they're like 20 bucks. Probably could use a crocknpot too maybe? Depends how hot it gets I guess, or it will just take a long time to evaporate the alcohol... needs to barely simmer to reduce tincture to rso.
Our basement range is electric with the glass top. Safe enough for this process? Need to use what I have and not waste plant material.
 
I've been using the bags about 1 year now and they seal up much better than my jars did. I'm bad when it comes to long term storage though. I keep opening the bags to smoke from daily so they don't stay sealed for long. I rotate through them a handful at a time. I've been adding a few bags each time I order to get my free shipping over $99. I have maybe 10 - 1/4 lb new bags now with maybe 6-7 used that are still okay to use again but they won't last like my 30 year old jars. Still at the bottom of the bags its better smoke with more moisture than at the bottom of my jars that just turn to my smoke to dust.
What I do is I keep all my best buds in smaller 1oz bags I call this my growers choice lol the rest of the smaller buds get put into a 1/4 lb bag and get heat sealed and sit in the basement for storage.
 
Mornin all of ya! Beautiful morning in the Ozarks this morn. Sixty eight and partly sunny. For sure an xlent day to clean porches.
Had storms all the way around us last night no great amount of rain here, but it seems to have laid down the smoke a bit. The air quality has been complete crap for the past five or so days.
So, what’s on your agenda’s?
Morning PAL!

Well it was when I started reading this thread. Almost 3pm now! 😝

Now I have to run around messing stuff so it looks like I was busy all day, before wifey gets home. 🤦

How did I get 13 pages behind in one day?😔
 
If anybody gets a chance to run strawberry lemonade from barneys farm do it.some of the best stuff I grew last run .very tasty. Great buzzz.finished quik. I have 13 strains in my cooler right now its my new favorite. 20230607_215807.jpg
 
Don't get me started on the societal construct that we call currency lol. Pretty soon clean air and water will be the currency. Fuck hiding paper under the mattress... buy land with water and the ability to sustain yourself, cause that's the only thing that's gonna save you when late stage capitalism finally collapses.
I doubt capitalism will collapse, but I'm sure it's going to change a lot, quite possibly toward fascism and autocracy. A lot of people seem to want to abandon democracy. I'm just hoping the west coast secedes from the rest of the mess.

I honestly don't even mind government if it knows its role. I'm fine with what we have, I just think everyone in our current government is corrupted. I would just like a clean sweep, all of the current gone for someone new that represents the good. I'm tired of voting for "the lesser evil" when there should be no evil, just a good. Give me a fricken good guy, girl, or what ever they want to be. Just be good ya know?

Love me some strawberry lemonade. Kept that one around for like 14 or 15 months.

It’s for sure a lost art. We learn to use the things around us in our areas. My Grandfather started me out at five teaching me what we could eat, what was medicines and what was best left alone. He was also the one that taught me how to witch water.
Find an older person in your area known for that and ask questions!

Life is huge and mystical to me to this day. Imma skip the shrooms, but I would do a campfire and a blunt 🥰

Mom used to stay home, manage the kids the dogs the cleaning and cooking. She fixed skint knees and bruised hearts. Our children missed out on a lot when this changed. It was a job in itself, and I believe it’s still needed today.
I don’t want to hear no feminist BS about it either. You want to be a part of that world, well by all means do so..I would have burned the business suit, and spent the time rocking babies given that choice.
Turns out that larger than life way of life, the big homes and fancy cars, had a cost far beyond money.
