Hahaha, east coast Canada. The worst kind
I’m from a small northern coastal village where if it rains it pours for days and if it snows you have to get out the house from the second floor lol

Basically I study like leeloo in the 5th element
I start with a simple term, in this case “plant thiols” and diagonal speed read through stuff. When I see a term I know little or nothing about I highlight it and search the term in another page without immediately reading it.
With a basic understanding I then look for processes/chemistry/how does it work/does it connect to with plant kingdom/cannabis specifically.
Still speed reading I sometimes find really good stuff so will slow down and peruse everything the author published etc

I do this too but write it by hand and search it out later. Also a good way to learn new words. I find actually writing it by hand makes me more likely to remember for some reason.

Trying to make sense of this skunk mystery… I don’t believe “it just happens” and “it’s bred out”
Take a line, any line. Breed whatever dominant smell out of it. Try it. Won’t happen.
The line will throw weirdo throwbacks for 20 generations.
Bred out. Pfff

I think so too. Another project of mine is to extract the blueberry type out of bog lifesaver. It throws gg blueberry plants throwbacks from its jbc parent. (Using first Gen dj bb no less 
)
Reading around I’ve seen a few keepers that made me believe it’d a worthy endeavor.
In general, smell and high are very complex traits bound to be found again.

Its been close to 2 weeks since I last visited. With plenty of rain and osmocote, they should be doing pretty good on their own… If sasquatch didn’t make a fancy salad that is

Now that’s my kind of fun, baby. Sounds similar to how I research shoemaking stuff.

Thanks! But yeah exactly haha you definitely don’t hear much about it, and it does make it a little difficult to research. I used to wanna make bespoke dress shoes but pivoted since I don’t wear those but do wear cowboy boots, so I’m a bootmaker. And by that I mean I’ve made one pair haha.

No kidding! That’s absolutely awesome, WOW! Must be quite the process ! I know how much cowboy boots are as I was with my dad shopping for a pair 15 years back or so. I think leather makers/workers are another highly overlooked skill you don’t hear about but it’s hard work and imo an artform. Those are in fact very nice (I still can’t believe you made them it’s mind blowing 
) I’m gonna show my old man too tonight i know he’ll be super impressed! Respect

Thanks man! And yeah leather work is nuts! My good friend is a leather worker and he’s super talented. I’ve done a little bit but it’s really something else. Takes a whole lot of practice!
