I don’t approve of the tactic in a functioning government. I don’t consider the current state one of function

Last time was at the end of the session. There wasn’t weeks to stay away. Now there is. (New session)

Yeah. I guess. But I guess I just fall perfectly age wise for it. dazed and confused came out when I was 8. Almost famous when I was 15. So they felt like they were about way different times, directed at entirely different groups of people.

I’m more conservative than you, have two children, and think it’s dumb. I thought it was dumb when I thought I’d get nothing. Which was until the letter last week that explained we get a little (haven’t heard what the phase out was until I read your other post.) I still think it’s dumb. I’d rather that amount of money have been dumped into schools, before/after/pre-k care for certain families, and figuring out how to get a lot of kids better meals and healthcare. generally speaking I prefer we tackle something that’s prohibitively expensive for parents than just send checks. Especially to families that don’t need it. I also realize some actions are easier to do than others, and middle class families seem to get boned constantly, so whatever.

Ok so far we’ve got: - staying downtown by the mall - hitting up 151 wineries. How well this list fills out will determine if we hit others. We want to, but they’re spread apart - Ragged Branch - aimlessly walking around downtown and seeing what happens. any specific restaurants anyone recommends? the polo match sounds fun but we’re bouncing out of there early Sunday

Almost famous is my generations dazed and confused

Yeah they are booked. In fact it seems all but one b&b is booked despite them all reopening on July first. Guess I missed it by a week…. The one that isn’t booked required me to email them. I’m assuming they’re booked too. Hence airbnb’ing it.

Booooo

Wife and I are leaving Friday coming back Sunday. Anniversary weekend. In about four weeks. I’ve been through Charlottesville, stopping to do things and even stay the night at a hotel, but never gone there just to see the city. is the Uber situation normal for a city that size? Shouldn’t have any problems right? we’re definitely dedicating time to winery hopping. Any recommendations are appreciated. Wife actually has an excellent pallet so while a place with excellent wine is wasted on my garbage tastebuds, she will appreciate it. there may be time for breweries, same applies, just low priority depending on what else fills out. looking at getting an Airbnb - any recommendations eg: stay in this area to be near the good bars, stay away from here, this area has cool ‘in the mountains’ spots, etc. spa/message suggestions dining suggestions. Anything with meaning to the city is cool, otherwise nice places of any type of food. bar/club suggestions any sort of theater/performance thing to check out and then any ‘find time to check this out’ stuff. We’re the type that’s constantly on the move and trying to cram as much in. Well, she is, I just always lose the argument over the plans. Any help with this is much appreciated

PSA: after the last 5 years this is the only way to view gop talking heads its just happened entirely too many times.

Well, it is the college of fine arts. Not the whole university

Yeah you’re over watering. Or he is. the roots get majority of the nutrients. But they also take in a ton of oxygen. If you over water they can’t take in oxygen. If you over water over a period of time you can cause root rot. Since overwatering is a number one problem for first time people, here’s a better rule of thumb than determining if the soil is too dry (since that’s not working for you): if the soil starts to ‘separate’ from the sides of the container give it some water. It actually means you’re probably just under watering it. But slightly under watering is better than overwatering. And if you start that way at least you’ll let it dry out, and over time you’ll figure out how to water it just enough it isn’t quite separating but you’re not overwatering Your pots have holes in the bottom? Or are you using one of the fabric pots or something? Gotta let it drain

If you can get one of these licenses when they’re announced…. It’s going to be a huge industry.

https://www.ilovegrowingmarijuana.com/leaf-problems-marijuana-plants/ read through that. Ph can change. The plant is pulling things out of the soil and you’re adding them when you water. Ph has to be constantly monitored but it could be over/under watering (most time it’s over watering not under…)

Well, as I was joking with my friends this morning…. we’re all celebrating by packing up and heading out do town for a week on the lake together blowing **** up…. In a state where it’s still illegal…… Virginia won’t really be ‘there’ until Jan 1 2024 anyways. For some reason we need 3 years to spin up the industry. 🙄

Happy legal weed day everyone

What the **** this is a stupid rule for getting a license this is in addition to posting a note on the front of the building sayin your applying for a license.

Wtf is going on with all these technicals

That said there are ones out there that are overpriced. you gotta look up the components. carbon filter, fans (specifically noise level), light… shop around and compare components. It won’t take long for you to figure out what’s what. Amazon has a bunch 450-600 but the lights are garbage and the reviews say the fans are loud. The link to kits in the guide I sent is legit. And led lights that’s rated top 5 in all lights in the industry. It’s an 850-1000$ light. Plus you need a 140$ controller. And it’s got a supposedly very quiet fan. And the whole kit is 1100 (not including controller). If you grow 4 at a time and get 10 oz’s each (should get 16-22 on average if you’re doing a good job), your first cycle will produce 160 quarters. At street price you’ve paid for the equipment about 10x over. also when you’re looking at lights…. There’s a lot of opinions out there, just make sure your factoring in lifespan and such. A 300 non led light might be cheaper except the 800 led light has a 5 year warranty and your cheaper one needs to be replaced every 9 months on average. Also the led lights usually cool themselves and the other options (usually cheaper than led) will create a heat problem you need to manage (with additional equipment)

So if you break it down it’s basically a tent with pre-fitted venting/cabling inlet/outlets, complete with flanges for a good deal, wrapped around 1/2” or maybe 3/4” pvc pipe. And the interior is reflective to help with amateur light investment. the tents go for about ~200. Could you build your own for less? Of course. Is it worth it if it’s your first time. I don’t think so. the rest of the price is the light. And the light is important. You can get a 450$ kit with a 200$ light or an 1100$ kit with a 900$ light. It’s basically the same kit. With a better light. and some of the cheaper ones have cheaper fans that make tons of noise. they seem appropriately priced when you break them down by components and what you’re getting, and factoring in buying everything that’s designed to work together vs piecemeal assembly to save here and there. a solid kit from a reputable place is not a bad option all things considered if you’re trying to use it in a small space as a new person to it and ultimately are just trying grow some plants for yourself and your buddies its basically what large scale operations are doing except they built/engineer it themselves to fit their needs and space.

Also I was thinking if you went to the seed sharing, you’d likely wind up meeting someone who lives near you that you can get some weed from… Just stay away from the old people. They’re only there to find someone to get weed from

Nope. Privately making concentrate is illegal https://www.cannabis.virginia.gov/ so you have to wait until you can buy it from a licensed person and we don’t know what those rules are because the people responsible for making them aren’t allowed to start working on it until tomorrow. This is very much illegal like I said earlier. Virginia will only allow sales through licensed sellers.

There you go. im sure there will be a way to figure it out if you find people selling kits that’s fine just be mindful of the light

4 plants. https://www.cannabis.virginia.gov/ figure 3-4 months a cycle. 12-16 plants a year. Guess 10 oz a plant cause you all apparently know nothing so we’ll be super conservative. 40 oz’s a cycle. (16oz = 1 lbs btw) 120-160 oz’s a year. That’s 7.5-10 lbs a year. That’s a lot of weed if you’re not selling it. Even if you smoke all day every day, that’s a lot of weed. the biggest issue is variety honestly but there will be dispensaries in 2024 So yeah if you find someone growing it, odds are they can help you out. Unless they’re selling it then they’re not doing it legally anyways. and if you have the ability (keep from kids, space (closet will work), etc) it’s not hard and even you guys should be able to put out a couple lbs of it a year

@Springfield also go sign up for the seed sharing program. It’s on July first. Find the closest one. I’m willing to bet you can go and find someone, that lives near you, that can help you out
