In 2022, the federal government reported that, in samples seized by the Drug Enforcement Administration, average levels of tetrahydrocannabinol, or THC—the psychoactive compound in weed that makes you feel high—had more than tripled compared with 25 years earlier, from 5 to 16 percent. That may understate how strong weed has gotten. Walk into any dispensary in the country, legal or not, and you’ll be hard-pressed to find a single product advertising such a low THC level. Most strains claim to be at least 20 to 30 percent THC by weight; concentrated weed products designed for vaping can be labeled as up to 90 percent.

The high that most adult weed smokers remember from their teenage years is most likely one produced by “mids,” as in, middle-tier weed. In the pre-legalization era, unless you had a connection with access to top-shelf strains such as Purple Haze and Sour Diesel, you probably had to settle for mids (or, one step down, “reggie,” as in regular weed) most of the time. Today, mids are hard to come by.

The simplest explanation for this is that the casual smokers who pine for the mids and reggies of their youth aren’t the industry’s top customers. Serious stoners are. According to research by Jonathan P. Caulkins, a public-policy professor at Carnegie Mellon, people who report smoking more than 25 times a month make up about a third of marijuana users but account for about two-thirds of all marijuana consumption. Such regular users tend to develop a high tolerance, and their tastes drive the industry’s cultivation decisions.

I’m having that joint now and it put itself out about halfway through. The joint knew I had enough. It put itself out for me. Wow. Nature is so cool. [7]

Was having some nutrient issues from switching lines and adjusting to it, but things have settled and taken off now!

I've been growing this same phenotype of sugar cane for a year and a half now. I just can't give it up!

It's a complete frost monster and a pretty good producer. The last plant was over a half pound! Just about 1g per watt!

Grown in 5 gallon DWC hydro

Might be moving to a Prohibition State soon :(
I'm hoping one of my neighbors will keep this pheno alive!

....

My yard smells like weed lmfao

Does anyone know what this is? Is it harmful?

I let the plant go for about 2 week, than top it and start spreading it out. I try to keep the plant short and under 8” tall during veg.

After the topping I’ll let it go a week or two to fill out before flipping. This time was 2 weeks, still a few days to go, flipping on Saturday to 12/12 from 24/0.

Hello!

I want to switch to flowering phase this weekend. Currently it's 5am-11pm but I'm aiming for 8pm-8am.

Should I just have a 27hours day this night until 8am or better not?

It's actually a blessing in disguise that my greenhouse got obliterated because I would be running out of space in there. These are large and in charge. I'm a little nervous I won't have room to hang them.

Found myself in a pretty terrible place mental health wise for a few years. Every day after work was 20-60mg edibles, a bowl or three, and vaping. I did this with some incredibly toxic people.

I'm back on track with my life now and only smoke occasionally. But now when I get high I just fucking panic. I'm talking one single joint and I'm in full blown stoned panic. It's not eating junk food and laughing at stupid movies any more. It's being terrified that everyone hates me and that I'm wasting my life and stressing about climate change the increasingly fascist government. I literally cannot relax when I'm high any more.

Is this a thing that happens? How do I go back to a happy high?

With the autos I cut down a few weeks ago, brings the total up to 3100g wet. The autos were cut early from nanners, but all in all a really great harvest for a 3x3.

Hi folks,

Complete beginner here, getting frustrated with trying to grow something that should grow like a weed!

My seeds (Royal Queen Seeds automatics) all germinate well (damp tissue method), and when their taproots are 1-2 cm long I plant them out in small pots, approx 0.5-1 cm deep. Compost is mgc24 “bio-hanf” peat-free brand. They grow, possibly a bit stringy, but maintain a nice green colour, on the windowsill. When they have another couple of pairs of leaves, after their cotyledons, I move them outside, to a SW facing patio with a wall behind them. It’s been warm, but rarely >30 C, and I’d say it’s been sunny enough - the rest of the garden is fine….

Then the plants stall - they get a few more leaves, never show any interest in e.g. the stalk branching, and turn a uniform paler green. They do not grow taller than approx. 10 cm, with my oldest plant from late May having started to grow a single tiny bud (is bonsai cannabis valuable :-) ).

The water here (Berlin) is quite hard, but still tests as having a pH of ~7. I’ve also tried watering with rain water and acidified (citric acid - it’s what’s in the Biobizz pH down) water.

I’ve tried Root Juice, Fish Mix and Alg-a-mic fertilisers from Biobizz, nothing seems to make any difference, and with such small plants it’s difficult to not overwater. I’d also expect the compost itself to still be providing enough nutrition for such young plants?

All help/suggestions gratefully received - thanks! Sorry for lack of a picture - for some reason it’s not letting me upload anything.

Alright, normally when imbibing I'm listening to Tool, Floyd, Muse, Rush, etc. But let me tell you, The Very Best of Garth Brooks bangs, it's making me want to move. So, any other suggestions for music that might not be deep but hits different while having a good time?

It was revegged so it's pretty airy but wow it's some good weed.
