Marijuana Storage Strategies

Of course, which wil negate the showoff standing of your stash, bu it’s a good trade-off for more energizing flowers. Smoking weed in th car is taken into account an ancien practice, originating during th introduction of first cars on the mainstream market. If you'r planning to backpack with you beloved hippie friend, count on joints and bongs being passe aroun contained in the van. Here we provid 7 recommendations o tips on how to get rid o the weed odo from the car, or van. You can check out more about cannabis here. Although your delta eight THC vape cartridge migh have an expiration date, it’s not carved in stone. You might not want to spend greater than $60 per cart, but doing so might assist keep away from such points as dearer choices have a tendency to make use of stronger glass and metal. Still, oil viscosity can fluctuate, resulting in jamming in any cart. Warming the cart in your palms or taking several short, small puffs might assist resolve the difficulty. Exceptions apply for chips, popcorns, and other snacks that usually do nice at room temperature. Some of you purchase high high quality, rare, top-shelf strains, so why compromise that quality? There is a ton of misinformation on the web concerning cannabis storage, so yet one more post might help to reinforce the nice, the unhealthy, and the ugly. The objective is have sticky, fluffy, succulent buds, and when you observe these guidelines, you won’t go astray. While the recreational use of marijuana is authorized in California, there are still restrictions on the place it can be used. For example, the consumption of cannabis merchandise, whether by way of smoking, ingesting, drinking, or vaping, is not legal in public locations. Too moist and also you threat the potential of rising mould or micro organism, and NOBODY wants to smoke moldy weed.

If you understand you'll want to store your weed for longer than six months, you'll need to think about extra involved storage choices, like a darkish, cool, dry root cellar.

CBN is much less psychoactive than THC, that means its consumption does not get the user as high.

As a result, merely leaving nugs in a plastic bag on a desk just isn't sufficient to store weed for extended durations of time. https://www.google.com/maps/place/NuLeaf+Dispensary+Las+Vegas+Strip/@36.151808,-115.152534,17z/data=!4m5!3m4!1s0x0:0x84cd86bdcb95ff99!8m2!3d36.151808!4d-115.152534

In that case, you’re very much continuing at your individual danger.

If your pet appears to be in any distress, search emergency veterinary care immediately. Products purchased from retail or medical marijuana retailers are required by Alaska law to use clearly labelled and child-safe packaging. Keep marijuana merchandise of their unique packaging so they're simply identified as containing THC. In other phrases, should you go outdoors of your own home and smoke weed in your car that's parked on your personal driveway, you'll not be charged with a crime. However, in case your car is parked on the street — or if you drive after smoking marijuana — then you could be charged with smoking marijuana in public or DUI of marijuana. Great query, and one I know lots of of us are interested in.

Since 1974, High Times Magazine has been the #1 resource for cannabis news, culture, brands and marijuana legalization laws. If you don’t need to smoke harsh-tasting weak weed that was once fire, take the steps to protect your weed for the long haul. The chilly isn’t the one thing you’ll have to worry about. Studies have shown that publicity to UV rays degrades THC levels. I would simply get a small cooler and never put something in it. Actually you should go away your car operating and the A/C on.

I grew 4 weed plants this year and I don't know what the strains were (one was high school sweetheart, one was....garlic cookies? there was another idk. garlic cookies was good)

Anyway I've smoked like 2 oz of the shit already but then I discovered... UGH...... one of the plants I grew is a FUCKING CHEESE.... it's also one of the plants that only grew popcorn nugs (ie the weed is all stems)

I tried smoking it anyway and oh my god. I've had moldy weed that gave me a migraine. This didn't even give me a migraine and it was worse than the moldy migraine weed. It tasted so bad and made me cough and gag so much that I threw up. I don't even Use edibles but I immediately made it into coconut oil bc no fucking WAY am I smoking that shit, it made me cry lmfao and EVEN THE OIL SMELLS LIKE STEMS. It's ASS!!!

I've been racking my brain trying to figure out if it's my fault, did I fuck up the process so bad I made the worlds most life ruining ass weed???

But then today I dug to the bottom of the jar and grabbed some different nugs just to compare...bruh! It's totally just that one plant!! The rest of this is ditchweed to be sure, it does not taste good, but it's actually smokable and it works, unlike the cheesy stemmy bullshit. #confirmed i really hate cheeses so much I'd rather just fucking die than smoke it apparently lmfao

#me #weed t #now i need to figure out what to do w an oz of my bullshit #maybe just make edibles and then give them away as gifts to all my lightweight friends lmao #i think it probably is fine if you dont smoke enough to have a high tolerance or to be able to tell flavor profiles #like my parebts could have edibles from this and itd be fine for them #but something needs to hide that flavor cus man. MAN.#and idgi like #the person we got that plant from. just grows cheeses. like. on purpose. they always have Cream Cheese #my fucking beloathed UGH cream cheese worst strain ever #i dont get it how does anyone actuallt enjoy cheeses. gross

Five Best Bits From 2020

Edit: I was tagged by @noire-pandora and Tumblr decided to bury the notification.

Tagging: @blarfkey, @nug-juggler, @cartadwarfwithaheartofgold, @queenaeducan, @luzial, @myrddinderwydd. Sorry for re-tagging most of y’all, but it’s hard to keep up with everyone who’s been tagged.

2020 was my most productive year for writing, and the first time I published any fanfiction. I’ve put my five favorite snippets under the cut, along with links to my AO3.

From The Cult of Fen’Harel, Chapter 4, The Bard and the Bees. This is probably my favorite passage I’ve written so far. I love the idea of Solas getting desperate enough to try recruiting Sera. And it goes as well as anyone could expect.

Sera made a face. “Don’t want none of your elven glory shite. Did you forget, my people are the friends of Red Jenny? Ellana’s my friend, and you hurt her. My people look out for each other, don’t team up with nobs who hurt us. Besides, it’s all stupid. Your magic and ancient rot, you’ll just burn the world down to get what you want. Couldn’t make me be part of that.”

“Please, Sera, think of what you could be, what you could do.”

“I could be dead, workin’ for you! Can’t you hear my no? Let me say it louder for you: NO.”

“Don’t you see that the elves are just the type of people you claim you want to help? The little people you fight for could finally have something of their own, instead of being relegated to the dregs of society.”

That seemed to set Sera off. She was on her feet and in his face in seconds. “Solas, you nug-sucking, piss-brained, moldy-arsed wanker! Don’t talk to me about little people! I’ve seen your altars and shite, you think you’re some mercy-giving god? Fuck you! You never see anybody ‘cept your elfy elves! You don’t give a shit for anybody but your people!”

Her tirade went on for several minutes. Solas remained as still as stone while she harangued him. Truthfully, he feared for his life. He had seen what a powerhouse Sera was on the battlefield. He was only grateful she was too close to shoot him. When she seemed to be winding down, he opened his mouth to speak again.

She stuck a finger in his face. “No!”

He gently pushed her hand away, then tried to speak again.

She repeated the gesture. “No! I’m leaving, and my lot had better not hear a peep outta yours!”

Sera started walking away. Solas took a step in her direction, one last futile attempt to persuade her, and was hit in the chest with a jar of bees.

From Daisy’s Garden: This conversation between Merrill and Keeper Marethari is based heavily on my own experiences with an abusive parent. Marethari struck me immediately as someone who gets away with treating Merrill like shit by burying her viciousness in concern for Merrill. Slight verbal/emotional abuse cw.

Merrill couldn’t get her breath between her sobs. She didn’t want Marethari so near, didn’t want to be touched, didn’t deserve to be touched. Here she was, crying without a reason, and delaying her lessons, and babbling about nothing. When she did manage to speak again, she simply choked out another, “I’m sorry.”

“What are you sorry for?”

“I’m sorry for being a fool,” Merrill said miserably.

“That’s a terrible thing to say about yourself, da’len. You’re a capable, intelligent, beautiful young woman. Just because you take these silly notions is no reason to torment yourself. You simply need to be more careful about not saying every ridiculous thing that enters your head.”

From The Cult of Fen’Harel, Chapter 5, Fresh Brewed Trouble. This is the first time Solas actually asks Ellana about the cult. It was fun to write him having a complete meltdown about his opposition being. . .less well-organized than he expected.

“What is the Cult of Fen’Harel?” he demanded.

Ellana grinned mischievously. “Enjoying your reading material?”

“Brother Genitivi,” he spat, “seems to think that they are a Dalish fertility cult.”

“That’s been the most popular theory, based on ‘the proliferation of crude phallic imagery’ found at the sites where the cultists have gathered. Although Brother Burbadur has some unique ideas.”

“That hack?! They still allow him to publish?!”

Ellana giggled. “So, you know about Brother Burbadur? I’ve sent you a copy of his latest book. It’s all about your cult.”

“With his Snake-Kings and lunatics? Mythal enaste, what have you done?”

“You mean Moon Men?” Ellana corrected. “Don’t you realize, Solas? I don’t have to instigate everything. It’s like Thedas itself wants you to fail.”

From The Cult of Fen’Harel, Chapter 6, The Mirror’s Secret. I love, love, love any instances of Solas interacting with an old Keeper Lavellan. So of course I had to send him to Clan Lavellan to bargain with Ellana’s grandmother. (For clarification, Keeper Deshanna Istimaethoriel goes by Mae in CoFH.)

Solas coldly repeated his question: “Again, what do you expect me to do here?”

Mae put her hands on her hips. “Well, I don’t want you to join the ‘rituals,’ if that’s what you’re afraid of. Your followers have been nothing but a nuisance lately. I’d like you to put the fear of their god in them.”

“How exactly?”

“You’re the Dread Wolf. Figure it out. I just want you to chase them off and scare them enough that they’ll stop trashing the altars and stealing the clan’s statues. I won’t mention what we had to clean off those statues last time.”

Solas shuddered.

Boisterous laughter and torchlight from the clearing signaled the cultists’ arrival.

“They’re here,” Mae whispered. “Get to it. Just don’t hurt any of them.”

“You should go now,” Solas warned.

“Before you become too terrifying for my mortal eyes to behold?”

Solas looked at her pointedly.

She snorted. “I’m not missing this show. But you’d better get out there before they start stripping.” She peered around a tree. “They’re barely wearing anything as it is.”

Solas shuddered again. Then, feeling more than a little embarrassed with someone watching, shrugged off his mortal form. The howl of the giant, six-eyed wolf echoed to the ends of the Free Marches.

From Of Mages and Moon Men. I desperately want Solas and Dorian to be friends, so writing them having fun together makes me happy.

Dorian chuckled and looked at Solas. “It seems you aren’t such a wet blanket after all. Just present you with silly books about ancient elves and you’re downright companionable.”

Solas ignored Dorian’s attempt to bait him. “You are not such bad company yourself, Master Pavus. I would not have expected it.”

Dorian made a face. “Solas, I will promise never to insult your wardrobe again if you will promise to never refer to me as Master Pavus.”

“Does it irk you so much?” Solas couldn’t stop the smile from tugging at the corner of his mouth.

“I hope to be old and grey before I’m forced to go by Master Pavus.”

“Fair enough. I suppose we can consider this a cease fire between us?”

“Certainly!” Dorian held out his hand for Solas to shake. “I’ve never laughed at ridiculous Chantry scholarship with a better fellow.”

What to Do If Your Marijuana Gets Wet

Although cannabis prices are falling, the plant can still represent a substantial cost for many people. Understandably, when you purchase marijuana, you expect it to be of a reasonable standard. However, there is always a possibility that your purchase gets wet. Trying to use cannabis in this state is a bad idea for reasons I outline in this article.

How Would My Cannabis Get Wet in the First Place?

The most likely cause is accidentally dropping it into water. Yet occasionally, you might find that the cannabis is wet upon purchase. Growers tend to wash their buds after harvest to remove chemicals. This flushing process is good news, as it helps improve the overall taste.

Occasionally, you might find that the cannabis is wet upon purchase.

The drying and curing processes should ensure that your cannabis is ready to use by the time it gets to the dispensary. Alas, this isn’t always the case. Sometimes, the humidity level remains too high during the curing process, which results in slightly wet weed.

If you buy marijuana that seems wet, squeeze it between your fingers. If it sticks to them, it is merely a sign of a potentially potent bud. However, if it squishes, you probably have wet cannabis.

Fortunately, wet cannabis is still usable, but you have to dry it first.

What Happens If I Use Wet Marijuana?

There are many reasons why you shouldn’t smoke wet cannabis.

Hard to Burn: You’ll find it a lot harder to enjoy an intoxicating high with wet marijuana. The moisture doesn’t reduce the THC content. However, moist buds are difficult to burn. You’ll likely become extremely frustrated trying to light your cannabis over and over again.

Rip-Off Alert: If your marijuana is fairly wet, you’ve probably overpaid. Remember, sellers charge you by weight. Wet cannabis is heavier than its dried equivalent. By the time you’ve dried your 3.5 grams, it could weigh about 2 grams!

Mold Growth: Wet cannabis is a breeding ground for mold and bacteria. This is one of the reasons why the drying and curing processes are so crucial. Smoking wet weed is annoying. Smoking moldy marijuana could lead to health issues such as breathing problems, headaches, and even pneumonia.

Ways to recognize bad weed…

Grinding Difficulties: As anyone who has ever tried can attest, grinding wet cannabis is a nightmare. The plant material gets caught in the grinder, and it is hard to grind it into small particles. Attempting to roll a joint when the cannabis isn’t ground down properly is also a pain.

Horrible Taste: You’ll discover that wet cannabis tastes awful when you light it. It is the equivalent of smoking uncured marijuana. The terpene profile is untouched, but the mixture of water and smoke provides an extremely unpleasant taste.

So, you have wet cannabis and know that you can’t use it right away. What should you do next? Here are a few tips on drying your marijuana sensibly, so it is ready for use. There are three common methods of getting cannabis dry, but all require patience.

The Rice Technique

Rice grains are known for their ability to suck up moisture. Indeed, people who drop their mobile phones in water often place the device in rice to save it. Most people have rice in their cupboards, and it is pretty inexpensive to buy if you don’t. Here’s how you use rice to dry your wet marijuana:

Place your cannabis in a jar and pour rice into it. A glass mason jar is ideal.

Make sure you put the jar in a room with decent airflow. Using a dehumidifier in the room is a good idea too.

Leave the rice to work its magic for 24 hours.

Remove the cannabis and ensure it isn’t moldy.

If the weed feels dry enough, you can start using it. If not, break up the nugs and use the paper towel technique (see below).

The Paper Towel Technique

This is another cheap and easy way to dry your cannabis. Here’s how you do it.

Wrap some paper towels around your wet marijuana.

Replace with new paper if the first sheets become too soggy.

After a few hours, check to see if the cannabis is dry. If it isn’t, keep it in the paper towels until you’re satisfied that it is dry enough to use.

Keep an eye on your cannabis to ensure that mold doesn’t develop. Once again, it is sensible to use a dehumidifier if you have one.

The Humidity Pack Technique

This is the most expensive option and will also require plenty of patience. Invest in a humidity pack and place one in a glass mason jar with the wet cannabis.

Keep the container closed, and only open it a couple of times a day. It could take several days for the cannabis to be ready because you’re effectively curing it. You should only use the humidity pack technique after reducing moisture via one of the other two drying methods.

Things to Avoid When Drying Wet Marijuana

Your desire to start using your cannabis may result in you doing something rash. Here are a few things you should never do when you have wet cannabis.

Put It in a Microwave: This is the ‘quick and easy’ tactic that will destroy your cannabis. Rather than removing the moisture, the microwave will cook your cannabis and ruin your buds.

Ditch the plastic bag and opt …

Expose It to Light: Another mistake is to assume that placing the cannabis beneath strong grow lights or sunlight will quickly dry them. This is true, but you’ll end up with extremely brittle buds.

Using a Blowdryer: Once again, all you’re doing here is reducing the quality of the cannabis.

All of the above methods damage the marijuana’s trichomes, which contain much of the THC that gets you high. When you try to use fast-dried cannabis, you’ll end up with a harsh and deeply unpleasant smoking experience.

Final Thoughts on What to Do When Your Marijuana Gets Wet

If your cannabis accidentally gets wet, or else it is excessively moist when you bought it, you need to dry it. Trying to use wet cannabis will lead to a frustrating and unpleasant user experience. Please resist the urge to take a shortcut because drying weed too quickly could ruin it completely.

Trying to use wet cannabis will lead to a frustrating and unpleasant user experience.

The good news is that you can salvage wet cannabis easily as long as you are patient. The paper towel and rice techniques usually work pretty well. If the marijuana isn’t dry enough after using either method, consider buying a humidity pack. There is no need to suffer through wet cannabis when drying it is relatively simple. If you want an expert guidance, reach out to a dispensary in Dillon CO and talk with the expert budtenders working there.

How To Grow Weed: Beginner's Guide To Growing in 2020

Growing marijuana is a rewarding hobby and can offer a great business opportunity as well. By the time you're done with this guide, you'll know how to grow cannabis in a indoor grow tent like a professional, allowing you to get better and bigger yields than you've ever imagined at surprisingly low cost.

In order to thrive and grow, every cannabis plant needs:

Light – whether you’re using sunlight or grow lights, you must understand the light needs of a cannabis plant to get the best bud quality & yields.

Growing Medium – the stuff your plants grow in; soil isn’t your only choice!

Air – a well-ventilated space with good air exchange and a slight breeze is best.

Temperature – A good rule of thumb for cannabis plants is if it feels too hot for you, it’s probably too hot for your plants. Just like humans, cannabis plants can die if exposed to extreme temps.

Nutrients – you can buy pre-formulated nutrients that you just add to your water, or you can compost your own super soil so that it already includes all the nutrients you need.

Water – like all plants and living creatures, cannabis needs water to survive and grow. Is my tap water “good enough” for growing cannabis?

When growing cannabis indoors or outdoors, you will need to ensure that it gets the proper amount of these 6 resources.

Grow Lights for Maximum Growth

For inside cultivation, it’s crucial to make sure everything is done right to maximize the potential yield from each plant. One of the most important parts is the lighting for the plants. Since the plants are grown indoors, they don’t get the natural light they would receive outdoors. To grow properly, marijuana plants require at least eight hours of direct sunlight. More light can lead to bigger flowers at the end of the growth cycle.

Most beginners are going to opt for CFLs as they are the least expensive to get started. They’re easy to use and do work well for marijuana plants. LED lights are another option, though they are more expensive to purchase. Once they have been purchased, however, they do require less electricity compared to other types of lighting. The best lighting options for marijuana plants, however, are MPH or HPS grow lights. These are far more expensive, but they do provide the best lighting for cannabis plants.

As a beginner, however, it’s likely you’ll want to make everything as easy as possible and start with a less expensive setup. There’s always room to grow in the future. If you only have a few plants and are trying to keep costs to a minimum, CFL bulbs are likely the best LED grow light choice. They provide the right light for the plants, can are the least expensive option, and are easily available, so you don’t need to special order them.

Pruning For Higher Yield

When pruning, start early and often. Cut or pinch branches just above the node where two new shoots will emerge. If you stay on top of this process, you’ll have plants that look like bonsai bushes, with plenty of bud sites but not a lot of stretching out and big gaps between nodes. This is the efficient way to get bigger yields out of small spaces but your vegetating time will increase so factor that into your schedule.

Don’t prune or pinch plants at all once they’ve begun flowering – you’ll only be decreasing your harvest at that point. If the branches are threatening to reach the light, bend them or tie them down to keep them from burning. A trellis system constructed from chicken wire at canopy level (aka the ScrOG or Screen of Green system), will further spread out bud sites and increase your yields considerably. Simply train growing shoots to grow horizontally along the bottom of the screen to fill empty spots.

Flower Power

Indoors, The decision of when to induce flowering in your plants is entirely up to you. If you want to learn how to grow weed, it’s important to determine how much space you have and to factor in the fact that your plants will stretch for at least a few weeks after flowering is induced. I usually recommend one week per gallon of container, so a plant in a five-gallon bucket should get approximately five weeks of vegetative time.

When you’re ready to begin the flowering stage, switch your timer to a 12 hour on/12 hour off light cycle. Be sure never to interrupt the 12-hour dark period with any light. This confuses your plant and can cause serious problems.

Change your feeding regimen to one suited for flowering. Plant nutrients generally come in vegetative or flowering formulations so switch over to a “blooming” solution. Depending on the flowering time of your strain, determine when you have two weeks or so left and begin the flushing process. If you’re growing a 60-day flowering strain, start to flush your grow medium with only plain water around day 46.

Watering

Water your plant regularly with clean, safe and water. Certainly, using chlorine-free or filtered water leads to better results. Always avoid overwatering and watch for good drainage. How to know when to water a Cannabis plant? A good test might be to stick a finger down a few cms or an inch into the soil and if it’s dry, then you’ll know it is time to water.

Ventilation

Ventilation and airflow are key for Cannabis plants to thrive and grow healthy. In this stage, they need air not only to breathe and grow their bodies but also good ventilation to avoid the formation of mold, fungi, and rot. A good fan moving the air inside your growing environment helps a lot, but beware not to point it directly to the buds. An exhaust fan is great for increased ventilation and air movement, this also helps lowering humidity. If the exhaust fan is not enough, a dehumidifier is definitely the best and easiest solution for keeping humidity at range. Also a carbon filter for grow tent is essential.

pH levels

pH levels must remain between 6 and 7 when growing in soil. Most nutrients are available for the plant in the growing medium only between this range of pH. pH levels out of this range may cause your plant to experience nutrients deficiencies and toxicities because the nutrients may be in the soil but the plant cannot absorb them.

Harvesting, Drying and Curing

Knowing when and how to harvest your buds is as important as knowing how to grow weed.

Use a loupe or a strong magnifying scope to take a very close look at the trichomes; the tiny glandular stalk and head sometimes referred to as “crystals”. Up close, they resemble little glass mushrooms with a stem that forms a bulbous round clear top. Inside that gland head resides the psychoactive compounds (THC, CBD etc). Harvest when the majority of the gland heads begin to go cloudy white and before they’ve gone completely amber. Harvest when they’re mostly amber if you desire a more lethargic stone.

Post-harvest, you will trim and hang up your buds to dry. This process should take about a week or two depending on the humidity and heat in your area. It’s always best to keep this process slower than 3-4 days in order to ensure you aren’t locking in that “green” chlorophyll taste. Add a humidifier to your drying room if you think your nuggets are drying out too quickly. Never leave a fan blowing directly onto your drying colas but make sure air is circulating to avoid mold and bud-rot.

After you’ve determined that your buds are sufficiently dried you’re ready to jar them up for the cure. The stems should snap instead of bending and the outside of the flowers should feel bone dry to the touch. The truth is there is still plenty of water stuck in the bud and the curing process will slowly “sweat” out the remaining liquid.

Always use opaque jars (ones you can’t see inside) and place them in a cool dark place. Open up the jars to determine the level of moisture and leave them open if there’s any condensation forming on the inside of the glass. Slowly but surely, if you open and close the jars once or twice a day, the moist air will be replenished by dry air and the water that’s stuck in the middle of your bud will work its way to the outside and then out into the air altogether. After three weeks to a month or so curing, your buds should burn and taste perfectly.

Methods for curing

Sure, there are fast ways to cure your buds like using a microwave, but save the microwave for your popcorn as this method using irradiated heat can reduce the quality and potency of the smoke.

The decarboxylation process that turns THCA into THC is what will be taking place as you dry and cure your crop.

My preferred method of drying crops is air drying. I like to hang my buds upside down with a fan in the room circulating the air until they are ready to be cured. Make sure you don’t let them get too dry; you want them to be moist enough to be flexible but still dry so they don’t get moldy.

The next step requires some patience, but you will be rewarded with flavorful tastes and gratifying aromas. The slow cure takes a few weeks. Get out your mason jars and fill it to the top without stuffing it. Put the jars in a dark place that doesn’t get too hot. Every week shake the jars to get the buds moving around and open the jars for half an hour or so. Try your buds at different stages to find out what you like.

Curing your crop is worth the time and effort as your bud will reward you by its taste and potency.

Storage of seeds

Storing marijuana seeds shouldn’t be a difficult subject matter, yet every toking Tom will tell you their method is the best only to come out with half your seeds ending up unusable. Often times storage methods are not considered serious enough. Yet, when you spend enough dough on your favorite strains, you don’t want any of them ending up barren due to a silly mistake that you’ve made.

Now, I know many of you have never explored using your green thumb to plant anything until you’ve considered growing your own diggity dank nugs, but let’s take it back to 3rd-grade science. We all know that in order for a seed to germinate it needs a few vital things. Like the saying goes “April showers bring May flowers.” It needs moisture, light, and warm temperatures. So, if you want to keep your seeds from germinating avoid all those things. Sounds simple enough, right?

How to store your seeds?

So to break it down, you’re going to need an airtight container like a film canister for example.

Then, put a few silica gel beads or rice grains in your container to soak up any accidental moisture. The humidity should be no more than 10%. Put your seeds in a tiny envelope, bag, or ideally vacuum packed and then put it in your airtight container. Make sure to label what’s inside each container with a date on it as well. You don’t want to take your seeds out unless you have to; temperature changes and exposure to light isn’t good for viability in the long run. Now you’re ready to put your babies away for planting next year. Avoid putting them in the fridge door where the temperature tends to vary, better in a back corner somewhere.

I understand that sometimes you live with other people and you don’t want them to get their grubby little fingers on your seeds. If you don’t want to have a mysterious canister in the back of your fridge labeled “Nothing in this cannister is worth dying for” then you can take a riskier option and store your seeds in a closet, under your bed, someplace dark and protected. However, these places may be more susceptible to temperature change and the #1 enemy of seed storage: humidity. In this case, you must be adamant when it comes to moisture control.

Store your cannabis seeds properly and you can sleep well at night knowing that next year and maybe a few years after the next you can still enjoy growing your most beloved strain of seeds.

BIOGRAPHY

trigger warnings: drug use/abuse, child neglect

If people were flowers, Christopher Hastal would be the daisy that managed to bloom in the cracks of a crumbling sidewalk against the greatest of odds, a vibrant and luminous contrast to the surroundings from which he came. His story is that of a stream, once little more than a slow trickle, that over years of perseverance and perpetual forward motion has worn away cold and unforgiving stone and carved in its place a vast, thriving riverbed full of movement and life. But the origins of his story — one that began nearly three thousand miles from the city he now lovingly calls home — are anything but uplifting.

Christopher — or Toph, as he’d very much prefer — was born in Elkton, Maryland, a small town tucked into the northeast corner of the state significant only in that it acted as one of the most prominent nerve centers in the tri-state area for drug distribution and abuse. His hometown was one of rampant opiate addiction, ravaged by thoughtless crime and harrowing acts of violence both by those peddling the drugs and those seeking them. His mother, Melanie Hastal, had fallen victim to the illicit culture of the city several years before; many of the vices she clung to were cultivated long before she’d brought the boy with the mousy brunet curls and prenatal heroin exposure into the world. In just the time he’d been able to witness — well over a decade, even excluding the few years he was too young to really make any sense of it — his mother had run the gamut of addiction to opiates and opioids, switching between pills and powders and needles so quickly in an attempt to chase the high that eluded her that Toph couldn’t have kept track if he’d tried.

For the most part, though, he didn’t try. Couldn’t, really. As a young child, Toph spent so many years bouncing around various squat houses and moldy single-wides on the verge of condemnation — living so far beneath the poverty level that it wasn’t uncommon to go days ( or weeks ) at a time without hot water or electricity — that from the moment he was capable, he was finding his own sources of income to try and cover the bills she’d so often neglect in favor of a fix. He didn’t have time to pay attention to her vices, not if he wanted to eat. He was twelve years old when he got his first job. It was an under-the-table landscaping gig; he was paid forty dollars a day to pull weeds and haul heavy bags of mulch on the weekend, and though that eighty dollars a week might not have seemed like much, it helped guarantee that he’d have something to eat every day and maybe even warm water to shower before school and clean their small, one-bedroom apartment. ( It also helped foster an appreciation for nature and for agriculture that would follow him all the way into adulthood. )

By the time he was sixteen, Toph had become the primary source of income for their two-person household. Unsuccessful in school — he’d struggled with reading his entire life, having barely reached a fifth grade level of literacy by the time he made the decision to leave — he dropped out and used the newfound time to gather an assortment of part-time jobs in the hopes of finally being able to support them without having to choose on a month-to-month basis whether he’d rather go without heat or without dinner. But his mother was nothing if not persuasive, always guilting him into lending her money that she’d swear wasn’t to feed her addiction or sneaking into his room when he was working to steal the cash when he’d insist to her that they couldn’t afford it. And so, in spite of numerous jobs, seventy-plus hour work weeks, and all of his best efforts, it seemed he would never earn quite enough to make ends meet. he needed another solution.

And it was the solution he came up with that changed the path laid out for his future entirely when Toph devised a plan to start selling marijuana. It wouldn’t be difficult — though he was hardly proud of it, he’d spent enough time in that environment to know many of the ins and outs of the business before he’d even began — but if done right, he knew it could be incredibly lucrative. After a few weeks of meticulous planning and saving, Toph managed to scrape together enough extra money to invest in an ounce, and that was how it began. He broke it down into dime bags to sell to his friends and their friends and immediately flipped the profit to buy more, buy, break down, sell, repeat. It was a flexible cycle, one that allowed him to make money in the fleeting moments he had off between overnight shelf-stocking at walmart and morning shifts at the convenience store by his house, supplementing his income little by little as his reputation grew. After a few months of upping the quantity with every bulk purchase he made, the adaptable young man decided to apply what limited knowledge he had of landscaping ( and, to a fractional degree as a result, botany ) to his newfound business and try his hand at actually growing his own product, using the aid of the internet at the public library to transform the closet in his bedroom into a modest grow room.

Learning how to grow marijuana properly was difficult. Most books he found on the subject were filled with vast, intimidating walls of text littered with jargon he wasn’t sure he’d be able to comprehend even if the letters weren’t moving and shifting across the pages every time he attempted to read them. He had to seek out magazines, informational books with graphic tutorials and clearly labeled diagrams to visually understand the process. but when it finally clicked — oh, it clicked. Within weeks of starting, he already had blooming flowers. Within a couple of months, actual nugs. And once he could harvest it, the positive feedback he received for his product was leaps and bounds greater than it had been for the bud he’d previously been selling. His plants were impressive, and not only did growing it himself allow his profit to increase significantly by the gram, but the higher quality of his product meant that there were more people looking to buy from him. Though he kept his other jobs — he had spent too long in poverty to take for granted the blessing of reliable income — the next two years were spent working tirelessly on his craft, experimenting with different set-ups and acquiring different seeds and strains.

But for all that he could’ve used that money to climb from a life of poverty to a life of comfort, the young stoner did his best to plan for the future and not just the present. Slowly, he began to squirrel away bits of his profit, keeping it well-hidden for two years as his nest egg steadily grew in size. And he committed to saving until, at the age of eighteen, he could not only afford to move out, but move to an entirely different part of the country. And that, he did. after leaving his mother up with enough money to cover bills and incidentals for the first two months he’d be gone ( whether she chose to spend it on necessities or opiates was beyond his control, but he couldn’t find it in his heart to leave her with nothing — she was his mom, after all ) Toph packed all of his belongings into the trunk of his beat-up Chevy Malibu and drove nearly three thousand miles to Santa Monica, California with little more than what cash he’d saved up and a sense of optimism, of hope that he clung to with his life. and the last of the weed he’d grown, of course. After only two weeks, he was able to land a one-bedroom apartment on the outskirts of the city and a job trimming and tending to the plants at a local dispensary called ReLeaf.

By the time he was twenty-one, Toph was thriving in Santa Monica. He’d taken on the title and responsibilities of primary grower at the dispensary, accountable for the oversight of an entire grow warehouse populated with hundreds of plants of varying sizes and strains. New opportunities for networking meant that his knowledge of the field was constantly evolving and expanding; he’d gone from planting seeds in a 2x3’ closet lined in foil to cloning and cross-breeding plants and developing entirely new strains. He was passionate about his career and it showed, in everything from how gently and compassionately he treated his plants to the numerous request for outsourced plants and clones and educational demos for new ( and seasoned ) growers from other dispensaries. finding that his new career allowed him more free-time than the slew of entry-level gigs he held ever had, he started to explore new hobbies and passions; he learned how to play the guitar and the ukulele, started attending yoga classes and practicing daily ashtanga.

At twenty-four, he was further along in his life than he ever imagined he’d be. He’d upgraded from an apartment on the outskirts of the city to a loft right in the heart of downtown Santa Monica, only a five minute walk from ReLeaf. He was preparing to enter a strain of his own genetic design in the SoCal faction of the cannabis cup. And, satisfied with where his unyielding optimism and forward momentum had landed him, he decided to take another stab at furthering his education, picking up remedial night classes at the same community center where he’d only just began teaching the occasional yoga lesson. After eight months of studying and struggling and frustration he’d not known in years, he’d earned his GED. not long after, he set his sights on Santa Monica College, and in between cannabis cultivation and demonstrations and living his absolute best life, he’s already on his third semester of an associate’s degree in business with a 3.6 GPA and the hope of one day being able to own his own dispensary.

In the meantime, though, he’s perfectly happy with where he’s at. And grateful for it, too.
