Be the Chain – The Good Shit Starts With You

Everyone’s heard the saying: “Be the change you wanna see.”

It’s solid advice — but when it comes to cannabis, it doesn’t go far enough.

Being the change is about fixing yourself.

Being the chain is about fixing everything connected to you.

And if you want legendary weed — the kind that blows everything else out of the water — you need more than personal change.

You need to build a chain of excellence that spreads outward from you, connecting growers, genetics, and culture.

Because here’s the truth:

The good shit isn’t out there.

The best weed in the world won’t magically appear on a shelf.

It only exists if you create it — through relentless pursuit of perfection and obsession with the craft.

Be the Change vs. Be the Chain

Be the Change – Internal

• You grow clean weed because you care about purity.

• You act with integrity, even if no one notices.

• You focus on your own garden, your own jars, your own actions.

It’s personal growth — but isolated.

Like being a single strong plant in a room full of mids.

You’re thriving, but the rest of the room still sucks.

Be the Chain – External

• Your standards don’t stop with you — they spread outward.

• You share keeper cuts, fire genetics, and hard-earned knowledge.

• You inspire others to level up, creating a connected network of strong growers.

Being the change makes you great.

Being the chain makes the whole culture stronger.

Why Most Weed is Trash

Every jar of mids has a backstory.

There’s always a chain of weak links behind it, and that’s why so much weed today feels lifeless.

:office: Corporate Greed

Big companies grow weed like it’s corn.

They care about profit, not perfection.

These are dead links — they weaken everything around them.

:salt: Salt Culture

Growers locked into one shallow method: dump salts, follow a feed chart, repeat.

No deep understanding of the plant. No true connection.

Even if they aren’t corporate, they stay weak because they never grow beyond what they were taught.

:money_with_wings: Taxes & Government Pressure

The small growers who do care about quality get crushed by taxes and regulations.

Every time one quits, another strong link disappears — and the chain weakens further.

:zipper_mouth_face: Genetics Hoarding

Legendary lines die in secret rooms because people hoard them like dragons guarding gold.

Instead of weaving genetics to evolve the craft, they let them rot.

The chain breaks when knowledge and seeds stay locked away.

:x: Shortcuts Everywhere

Rushed drying. Poor curing. Hype-chasing over perfecting a line.

When growers cut corners, the final smoke always shows it.

The Moment It Hit Me

The other day, I was smoking some ancient-style temple ball hash my boy Andrew made.

This wasn’t just smoke — it was medicine, the kind of experience you feel deep inside.

As I sat there, I thought:

“This is what’s missing in my life. I need this feeling every single day.”

And then I realized:

If this level of quality doesn’t exist in the world, I have to create it myself.

I can’t wait around for someone else to fix the culture.

That’s when I understood:

I am the first link.

The chain starts inside me, and it grows outward through every action I take.

Relentless Pursuit of Perfection

Greatness doesn’t happen by accident.

The best weed in the world comes from obsession.

• Every run is a test.

• Every repetition teaches you something new.

• Every detail matters — from selection to breeding to curing.

When you stay locked in and relentlessly chase perfection, each cycle rewards you with better results.

It’s a compounding effect: the more you repeat, the stronger the link becomes.

This is how I built Grape Mayweather.

I didn’t chase hype or settle for shortcuts.

I hunted, I selected, I wove genetics with intention.

Now, those world-class grape terps live in my grow room — proof that the best in the world can come from you if you never stop pursuing it.

How to Fix the Chain

Every broken link in this culture can be repaired, but it takes relentless pursuit:

• Corporate greed?

Grow with integrity. Quality over quantity — always.

• Salt culture?

Learn deeper, organic methods. Teach others what you’ve learned.

• Taxes and government pressure?

Stay small, stay free, and keep the real fire alive underground.

• Genetics hoarding?

Share, preserve, and weave lines so legends never die out.

• Shortcuts?

Respect the process. Cure right. Perfect the basics before chasing trends.

Final Thought

Most weed is trash because most growers are weak links.

Disconnected, selfish, and driven by greed — they’ve hollowed out the culture.

But here’s the power move:

Being the change fixes you.

Being the chain fixes everything connected to you.

The good shit doesn’t start in a dispensary.

It doesn’t come from corporate shelves.

The good shit starts inside you — and grows outward.

Be relentless.

Be obsessed with the craft.

Be the strong link that rebuilds cannabis culture, one plant, one run, one connection at a time.

Stop waiting. Stop searching.

Be the chain.

Because nobody else will.

I love this :heart: there’s little to nothing to dispute in that post :+1::+1:. BUT, it’s much simpler for me personally :man_shrugging:

For me, “salt culture” is the simplest and cleanest means to an end when growing in my spare room. No way in hell am I gonna do an indoor soil grow & run the risk of bugs, good and/or bad, being in my house.

Coco & bottled nutes is the easy solution for me.

And yeah, while “clean meds” and “knowing what goes in” is generally important, again for me, my absolute main focus is “simplicity and cost effectiveness” :man_shrugging: that’s basically it for me. Things like hand watering instead of using a drip system (used only for backup/vacations etc) helps me keep “moving parts” to a minimum

Because I’m growing my own, I can select whatever flavor profile(s) or potency level(s) that I want, based on what I have access to.

Here’s a video reply @RookieBuds https://youtu.be/Z3ixfSJavEA

One love

Just kinda winged it in the video but tried to make a few key points in there.

I’ve always played with bugs and stuff as a youngin, always loved em, ditched kindergarten to find ladybugs with my girlfriend lol

Makes sence this is how I do it

Lots of ways to skin a cat but always remember why u stay true because that itself is a leading light

And the highest frequencies of intentions always have potential to make the most meaningful impact

Appreciate you homie! This is where I’m at and I’d help the world get there if it wanted. While I climb. I’ll never be at this age again. Not at this moment of present. But we gotta help ourselves as a human race evolve with our roots into the healthiest beings we can and that’s an organic ecosystem in my opinion. And that apartment is just the start
