Johnnypotseed’s 3-ring circus - with autos, photos & sex…reversals, that is! (Part 1)

Oh I have a hand crank drill and a number of handsaws too… Powertools aren’t always the answer, sometimes ya need finesse too.

Have a bunch of old wrenches downstairs too, never use em, that set has to be from the early 1900’s. Big heavy cast wrenches. Honestly too big for lots of current uses, I think they might have been for industrial things…

I love knowing how to take a plain old sheet of metal, scribe a circle, then cut out the angles and bend the tines, then sharpen them at the right angles etc to make the blade for your own sawmill lol That’s just one of the things I recall in the books

Yeah, thats old school knowledge, sadly soon to be forgotten with this buy, use and discard mentality… Even if ya don’t make another sawblade, the skills needed still come in handy elsewhere…

Take the avg 20-something today, and transport em back 100 yrs. They would die…

On another topic lol I’ve just spent about 12 hours between yesterday and this morning. Going through my seed container, organizing, counting etc all because the ‘Authority’ now has to know exactly how many beans I have of each strain, the lineage, the THC and CBD content, what % of Indica, Sativa, Ruderalis etc listed, in the records!

All for the sake of making more work, unnecessarily, just so they can feel like they have a bit more ‘control’ over everyone lol

A total of 131 strains, counting the ones I’ve crossed. Photoperiod, Auto, and my own all categorized in alphabetical order lol

Also, can’t forget the 50 or so strains I’ve got growing, with the photo and auto. Some I have seeds of, some I’ll have to add to the list after I pollenate and get more crosses lol

I’m just damn glad I don’t have the list that @DougDawson or @misterbee has! Then I’d be here doing this crap until Christmas!!

So how does that work with a seed run? Do you have to report the number of seeds harvested from a plant now too? I saw this in my newsfeed this am.

Oklahoma Medical Marijuana Authority to increase compliance checks for new upcoming regulations (msn.com)

At least they give you a 24 hr notice before a “pop in” inspection. Here the “pop in” inspections will be unannounced surprise visits “during published business hours”. Failure to have an employee present (i.e. you’re not there because the plants are doing their thing and ya got other shit to do) during a pop in visit is a violation. 3 such violations and your license will go under review.

I just became a banker :slight_smile: Cause I’m gonna be listing bankers hours, 10-4, maybe even 11-3 LOL. Doesn’t mean I can’t be there after hours, just means I control their surprise visit window a bit :smiley:

yep, you got 24 hours to report, if caught not doing that, there’s a warning and/or a hefty fine.

Here, you get no warning there’s going to be an inspection. You sign off on agreeing to this when you apply for the license
All that’s required is for them to come during the normal hours of operation

Well… and the rain keeps coming down… It doesn’t look like I’ll be getting them outdoors plants pollenated any time soon here. I waited for things to dry out yesterday so i could hit plants with pollen, but it never happened, and now the rain has been in here since just after sunup… meaning the outdoors plants didn’t get a chance to dry up enough to pollenate. Also meaning it’s not going to happen today either and most likely not tomorrow!
Times running out of the end of growing weather outdoors! But, I DO have a plan lol I’ll just move any I can pollenate indoors to finish…lol

I’m just antsy on getting to it with this latest pollen!!

I just realized something lol for some reason, i’ve been saying JDAM mix for my preventive maintenance and it’s NOT ‘JDAM’ lol It’s JWA mix, a DIY pesticide that’s safe for organic growing, recipe shared with us from our old buddy, Badger.
The recipe is here on OG …somewhere, lol
Yep lol
Just use home page and search ‘JWA’ there’s a lot of good growers here on OG using it also!!

And also I see now where I got that ‘JDAM’ from lol it’s actually
“Jadam organic farming (JWA) Jadam wetting agent”

So technically, I wasn’t wrong, :laughing: :+1:
And while I’ll be the first to admit it if I am wrong, I do hate it!

Nothing beats a good, sharp draw knife. Use one for a while if you want to really get a feeling for working with grain… Hand made is a higher level of craftsmanship. I can get by, but I get impatient too easily. I’ve known some amazing woodworkers though. Grandpa and dad (before he signed up), used to built houses by hand back in the hills. A lot of them on the side of a nice dropoff.

So very true! I had a Vietnamese cane knife for 30+yrs that came home with me in Dec’69 … It was folded probably around 60-70 times in the making. You could chop down a small tree and turn around and shave with it! lol
Someone decided they needed it more than me… :rage: :face_with_symbols_over_mouth: :hot_face:
