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

Thanks @CannaGranny! 😍

I've never seen anything quite like this in my many years interacting on the Internet. Those are some extremely fragile egos over there. I don't need that type of toxicity in my life. So, it's all good. We've all moved on to better things. That much is certain.
How’s Mikedin & GNick doing?

Haven’t bothered to login and try to talk to people. Don’t need the drama...but a few I still miss.

Glad you’re settling in. Good to see ya. 👍
 
Was thinking about a few things when I should have been sleeping. The big one was; I’m going to have to wash these buds before I give them away aren’t I?

What’s the easy simple way? I remember reading some use two or three 5g buckets, one with cold water... and that’s about it.

Pretty sure cold water is fine, doesn’t get it off my hands it’s not coming off the plant. But I don’t want to buy anything if dawn dish soap and warm water are okay to clean them in one bucket and then a rinse in cold after will be fine.

At least that’s how I hope this will go. 🤣

They seem to be doing okay. I didn't see much of either of them. I didn't see much moderation. It's mostly left to the members now.

Be careful with PMs. They're not private there.

Thanks. All is well. It was time to move on and move away from the toxicity.
 
Amnesia, there is no need to be defensive here. We are not looking for bad guys or scapegoats. Really.

Regardless of what happens there, it is out of our control. If you are banned, or simply decide to quit over there, you will remain welcome here. If you stay there as well, that is fine with us. We don't think we own anyone.

As far as novice growers go, there is a limit to what we can do with the hand we have been dealt. If that was something logic cared about, this could have gone down very differently. The fact it did not lets you know the real story.

We are working our way up the google ranks, and hopefully make it easier to find us in the future.
I've been tracking it a little while. Was third for Bud builders.. . Now it's got the top spot Screenshot_20230606-102219.png
 
Osprey? It's looking down at the bottom of the waterfall area looking for a meal

Still working on the stubborn stump on day four trying to burn it out more. I think the new plan is to get the chains up there and try to use a hand wench

My problem would be trying to ration everything to make it last 3 months. If I have a lot of something I tend to go through it faster. I'd blow 3 months budget on groceries & then would probably start running out of stuff after 1-2 months. 🤣
I’m lucky to have a lot of storage. A large kitchen with several cabinets and a full on pantry. So no worries about a ration or making it last, more like rotating stock in and out. I have a grocery within eight miles of me that I buy milk bread etc from, but I live in a tourist town and prices triple during the summer.
I make that trip to shop a grocery warehouse type place, where you bag your own groceries. You pay the grocers cost plus ten percent. Makes the trip worth my while.
Anyways, I’m super glad that’s done for another three months!
I’m pretty sure I need some iced tea, a smoke and a nap!

Awww a keen eye has that one! At first I thought it was a bald eagle, then I put on my glasses. Very cool pic!
I think burning and a pick axe are what will get that lady to give up her ground.
 
Haven’t seen a @TSD post in a bit? All good or stuck in the garden?
All good, just too busy to burn time online between work, garden, house stuff, kid stuff, husband stuff, dad stuff, bff stuff... I'm pooped... too much stuff not enough hours. I see I have approximately 50 notifications and several pages to catch up on if I can manage to not pass out at 8 or 9 pm one of these nights lol.
 
Omg what a shit show..... I can't even take screen shots cause I've been banned from the old site...

I made a post about missing my Friends and I got an email from ... And he gave me an ultimatum, to choose one site or another. I told him I'm a pacifist and prefer to be friends with all, that I see people on both sides of this fence he's making. And he banned me...

Insane-o! To muddle business ethics with petty spite... Anyways, I got a shot out before the walls shut down and got an obscure way to find this site!! thanks @Coco Lopez .The guy was censoring my private messages .. told him that was unethical, still can't believe it but I'm sure it's old news for you all. I see all my favorite peeps here and even another @CannaGranny couch to sit on!!

Ninjas and growers unite!
Omg you made it here!! Yay! I'm so behind.

I finished the veg garden, which is just heirloom tomatoes and peppers this year. Next year I'll have to rotate the boring vegetables in.

These were all soaking the artificial light under the Raging Kush II, which is a great tomato light, but might be a little pricey if you don't also grow weed.

For sandwiches:
Black Krim --among the best tasting tomatoes, IMO, but it is a crack addict.
Deliciious - never tried it. A giant red one, with fruits up to 7 pounds.
Dad's Sunset - never tried it. A yellow-orange variety.
Orange Strawberry - never tried it. Another orange one.

For sauce:
San Marzano Redorta - my favorite sauce tomato
Italian Gold - never tried it. I guess half the sauce will be yellow this year.

I'm very generous with the eating tomatoes, but only the best neighbors see any sauce.
thanks for posting. love me some good homemade sauce

I use three 5 gal buckets
One pretty sure Has a cup of hydrogen peroxide per gallon of water in a 5gal bucket
Next is a rinse
Then the last is a final rinse
 
Thank you! I hate drama, but love people lol
I will go where the good energy flows. I don't have time for the BS
Love you guys!!

Just bagged this girl yesterday, stinky acp gold from my buddy @Coco Lopez . Trying this tool out this time, seems to match with my feel test lol
i have a moisture meter too. different brand but it worked good for me. then i put them in grove bag when meter read 12%
 
Hey @TSD when you SCROG your outdoor girls at what node do you top first?
I was gonna follow CG’s top twice then FIM once starting at node 5 or 6….thoughts?
Last year I didn't top at all, just spread them out and all the side branches basically turned into tops. This year I only topped once. I may again now that that they're settling in the ground. Need to get started on my posts and get some scrogs up soon.

I've washed my buds a few times, 3 - 5 gal buckets with 4 gal in each, 500ml peroxide in the first bucket, second bucket 1 squeeze lemon and 1/2 cup baking soda, 3rd bucket cold water. You can break off trichomes if your not gentle when washing and shaking off between buckets.....all the heads can disappear into the wash or floor but it smooths out the snap crackle pop of mites, corpses dust, cat hair ect.

Treat them like vines and weave them into what ever shape you want,. That Kyle Kushman chiropractics trick makes them pretty pliable I may try a knot soon. I've a Sour D clone that is getting too tall and It can be an extra to play with. Now that I've put brain to type I guess I'm committed ....lol or should be but I'll try a knot in a tall one.....lol .....AK47/Blackberrykush .....if you're wondering...

Oh yes, they have several ass kickings coming thier way in the near future. They've already had one due to my lack of hardening off... and another because I'm 99% sure I had thrips... so they got hit with a sulfur spray cause fuck thrips. To be sure they were dead, I also dusted the shit out of them and the ground with diatomaceous earth 2 days later and left it on for two days. THEN I sprayed it off with the pump sprayer and a light mix of Loast Coast Plant Therapy... just to be sure. 🤣 Now I'll leave the poor girls alone for a bit until it's time to scrog... which will be soon cause a couple are getting tall.
 
I mean whats the worst that happens? I waste 60 bucks?
Yeah i havent done that before... lol🤣
Ok I’ve been reading. This is new to me too

Here is the patent


Here is the sales pitch using science


Here is how it works according to the website

44898B9C-7B99-4628-AA2A-EB6C11FF7580.png

So it binds to the same receptor as thc.

Survey based feedback from veterans in the study say tolerance is reduced UPTO 50%. That is fishy to me for a number of reasons.

The average is not given. Could be 2%.

Looking at this critically I think there is a possibility there is something to it. But what I read was all self serving by the company who is selling it.
