yah for sure I got the cannabis microscopy thread, I go nuts with the thing. I was originally taking photos just with my sony camera on zoom mode. The software included with the camera is fun! I have a Chinese knockoff of an olympus microscope OT something or other.

There are actually so many myths surrounding powdery mildew itās mind boggling.
Iāll do a few:
mildew is systemic
mildew is triggered by humidity
mildew only attacks at (insert time of year)
mildew is tough to get rid of.

I know even saying those things are controversial? offensive? Probably both! Except of course, you can test it, right? Iām definitely not making whatās known as a ānon falsifiable claimā.

My pops wanted to see the studies, so I copied them over to his hard drive. He told me he didnāt understand the words printed in the docs, so I suggested a dictionary. Told me he didnāt have time for that 
I understand, why people arenāt reading them.

wow Iāve got a story! Are you ready to strap in and feel the burn? So Iāve been thinking about the germ theory of disease right? hah hah I know everyone is contemplating it. I was thinking about grey mold/botrytis/bud mold. and I kept thinkingā¦exposure to the replicating pathogen. The root cause of disease botrytis is exposure to replicating pathogen right? Magic donāt cause it.

So I got out my journal and started reading and compiling a meta analysis of it. With a focus on mold. When I had mold, what plant had it. How much mold. Humidity level control at the time, how was it done? Then I noticed an anomaly in the data. uhh what? It says here there have been no outbreaks since the protocol 0 happened the first time.

never seen a bud mold since 2017. So I asked wonder woman about the time frame, and she said she hadnāt seen any bud mold in years. So I got to thinking, did I really actually clean up all the mold?? Ahhh but to ābelieveā in that would be a personal narrative lol! Fool myself eh? So, I do what comes natural. I hatch a plan to test it.

Alright alsoā¦OMG this is so fucking awesomeā¦ I got a bud back from someone who took my genetics and grew a clone out then gave me a bud. I can see with my naked eye, they fucked it. The genetics for the plant are superior and the budā¦ well Iāll take some comparison photos so you can see. Itās really true, that someone can take good genetics and grow shit weed. Iām not exactly sure the process, so Iāll ask around.

ohhh yah. Wait till I get the microscope warmed up. Hereās what I want to seeā¦ the density and size of the trichomes. Iām going to go buck wild! I already did the smell test with 3 different people. They could all tell the difference.

my mom grabs the one budā¦asks me hey how come that one bud looks fuzzy? Itās the trichomes I said, so she could SEE the difference.
I asked a few questions about the growing of the buds, and weāre using the same nutrient solution, so itās not that. And itās not the DNA of the plant either, because they are identical. Also, buddy grows in dirt and Iām in hydro.
Getting some Robert Crumb vibes!

yah that shitās funny in a disturbing way, sort of like george carlin.
ok! So knowing the weed was contaminatedā¦ no doubt, I smoked it anyways! And it was nasty. It tasted bitter and green. So I rolled up a couple of meat breath fatties from my own sack and had a terp-attack sneeze. Definitely not gross! How is buddyās weed so nasty!?
