There was a poster someone had in university residence that always made me laugh. Do you remember the ‘here is your brain… here is your brain on drugs’ PSA ads with an egg in the first panel and a cracked egg in a frying pan in the second? The poster added a third panel that was ‘here is your brain on drugs with a side of bacon’. 🙂
 
I've been thinking about something for awhile now that I think might behoove us all to consider. That is simple fact that we are a global community each with our native customs and upbringing and many are not super conversant in American English and ways of expression or terms used. Once in a while I see some short temper derisiveness or dismissal due to mis- understanding. I do not exclude myself from this bad behavior and I regret this. Patience and common courtesy are virtues I struggle with too but I'm trying! Just thought we can all use a little reminder now and then. Smile when your writing and it will show through!
 
I've 'held my tongue' if I wasn't sure of someone's question or thought it was kind of 'simple'. Even native English-speaking growers can have communication challenges, be on the spectrum, insecure, or just learn differently but they're trying to grow their medicine, same as everyone else. Great post.
 
Thanks Puglover1, you are so right! It ain't necessarily "them furriners." I think we all occasionally stumble when trying to express a new idea. Remember just "poking a little fun at someone" can be hurtful. ;<)
 
After clicking that first link I'm a bit insulted by their picture choice for Illinois. While I think I may have partied on that country road a few times we certainly deserve to be represented as well as Indiana. LOL!
 
The Virginia number for consumers per capita kind of surprises me. I think people liked out of paranoia.
NC is a bit of a surprise but I think like Virginia, they were a burley tobacco state that is losing tax income as fewer people smoke cigarettes so they're looking for a way to bring those dollars back to the state. I read long ago that Phillip Morris bought the rights to "Marley", as in Bob's last name. Makes me think they've had a long range plan...
 
You also have a great week !! Still waiting to start my AutoBuck project, too hot here in the great white north, I'll wait for a week or two.
 
Ok time to admit it. I'm old. Been lurking here for a while now might as well introduce myself. Names 2fast. I'm 50....ish. grew up on a farm to a blue collar dad who was a part time commercial waterman. How's that for a combo. Our high school had a horticultural department and I had to take a lot of burner classes so I spent half of my junior year in the greenhouse. Built my own when I was 11. Always grew my own veggies. Been growing this "veggie" for........awhile. mostly outdoors until recently.
Been playing with different strains now that I can. One thing about mid Atlantic summers. Way too hot and humid for anything but heavy sativa leaning strains outside. Indoors I can grow anything. My last run one of the three plants was black cream which is 90% indica and she did great. Look forward to chatting with you old coots. Stay off my lawn. Where's my poking stick?
 
62 here and I agree, asking questions when you've not even looked for answers in Nubula's and Sirius' posts has got to be annoying. I have really tried not to do that, they can really muck up a place.
How about when that happens instead of answering just post a link and paste a gentle yet clear statement that you keep on hand like, "Please SEARCH for an answer to your question on growweedeasy.com that may have been addressed already on the site before asking a new question." Cut and dry sometimes gets the message across.

This is the latest from one of my Tangies. I've seen leaf petiole mutations on most of the plants and even a small bud growing on one of them.
