I just wrote an in-depth article discussing basic in crop steering principles. But so that you don’t have to read the whole article, here are the key points:
The full article covers basics such as light spectrum and photoperiod, environment conditions, and water manager/irrigation, and much more. Will go into much more detail on each topic later.
Thanks for reading!
I’ve never dabbed any kind of wax. With the hemp bill, I now have legal access. Does it hit that much harder than vaporized THCa flower?
Combining THC and CBD creates a balance that helps lessen the anxiety and paranoia often associated with high-THC strains. CBD, a non-psychoactive compound, has anxiolytic properties that can temper the psychoactive effects of THC, delivering a more mellow and enjoyable experience.
The entourage effect, a synergy between different cannabis compounds, is amplified when THC and CBD are combined. This collaboration is believed to enhance the therapeutic potential of the cannabinoids, offering a more broader range of benefits, from pain relief to anti-inflammatory properties.
3. Customized Effects and Dosage:
Mixing THC and CBD flower provides users with the flexibility to customize their cannabis experience. By adjusting the ratio of THC to CBD, individuals can tailor the effects to their preferences, whether seeking relaxation, creativity, or a functional daytime boost without the intensity of a pure THC strain.
CBD has shown promise in reducing memory impairment associated with THC use. Combining the two cannabinoids may offer a good balance, providing the potential for a more clear and focused experience while still enjoying the psychoactive high associated with THC.
5. Potential Reduction of Negative Side Effects:
CBD’s regulating effects on THC goes beyond anxiety reduction. It may also assist in minimizing common side effects such as dry mouth, red eyes, and increased heart rate, offering a smoother and more comfortable overall experience.
In summary, the combination of THC and CBD flower opens up a range of possibilities for cannabis enthusiasts. The synergistic effects, enhanced therapeutic potential, customizable experiences, and potential reduction of negative side effects make the combination an interesting method for those looking to explore the full spectrum of benefits that cannabis has to offer. As with any cannabis consumption, individual responses vary, so it’s recommended to start with lower ratios and gradually find the balance that suits personal preferences and desired effects.

Long story short I've only consumed edibles, dry herb vaped or smoked a joint. Very occasional user and have what I assume is a low tolerance.
I'd like to experiment with extracts but I have no idea where to start or how anything in that area works haha.
I have been pressing dry sift into hash pucks and storing them in the fridge but I don't even know how to use them. Embarrassing I know.
Take it easy on me, I'm old. Got any tips on easing into this new world?
I completely stopped edibles and dry vaped a minimal amount a few times a week for about 3 weeks… had some free time today (no wife/kids) and decided to smoke a J. It was amazing.
What’s your routine to keep the tolerance low but still get whacked every now and again?
Anyone else have a collection of photos taken when stoned?
I have about 750 now. I enjoy a slideshow of em when I’m both high and low. They have a special flavor - close, tight, texture, often include smoke related things.
Vaping my Dyna, listening to music and solving the NYtimes crossword is a nightly ritual for me now. It's very therapeutic after a long day especially since I'm taking care of my Dad with dementia.
I don't vape till he's in bed unless my brother or Mom has complete control and or I'm done with work. It feels very rewarding too saving it for a few hours before bed too plus it makes your tolerance low for years. But combining the ritual with the crossword and music is pure comfort and bliss.
I think because you're using your brain and when you think and actively engage in stuff it makes the high better and therapeutic.
I have this 90% disposable THC vape, and I’m curious if you would recommend me to hit it or not. It’s a legit vape from a licensed dispensary, in a legal area, but I’m just wondering if you would recommend I hit it or I just chuck it out. I’m a little worried about greening out, but either way, what would you recommend I do?
I've seen a few posts about how grinding weed can reduce it's quality. I've found that with my best flower, I like to break it up by hand for a bowl. Is this a reasonable way to preserve the maximum potency and taste? Or is it just in my head? I wouldn't do this for joints because Im not sure if it would burn effectively and you need to break up a lot more. but for Bowls it is a pleasing ritual.
Do any other elders still do this?

Lately while scrolling Facebook I've been bombarded by what looks like weed gummies. How is it legal to sell them on the Internet? This can't be what I buy at the dispensary, can it? Somebody fill me in on what these products really are and how they compare to dispensary gummies.
Also, as a parent of a teen.. I'm not sure how to feel about this being accessible on the Internet..
Thanks for the education!
High all,
Im doing a some research for a venture and trying to find a cannabis distributor that could take care of delivery of THC products in multiple states, without having to partner with a delivery service in each city.
Anyone can give me a couple names to look into?
Ideally looking for a delivery service who isn’t selling its own brand but open to sell third party brands.
I know you need a specific state license to deliver cannabis products but I imagine there are companies that have that license for multiple states and are able to serve clients all over the US
Used a pressure cooker to extract my AVB into clarified butter. First time using the pressure cooker for the process.
I made one small brownie for my honey. She consumed half.
We've been together since she was 16 and I was 17. I'm 61 now. In all of the years of hot sex, quick fucks, long lovemaking coupled with multiple synchronous orgasms on each of our parts... Neither of us had ever experienced anything like this.
She woke up out of a sound slumber experiencing full body orgasms. She experienced this state of bliss for over 3 hours as I managed to hold out until the very end so as to be able to assist her in fulfilling her amorous needs and desires.
We'd gone for hours before, but never like this, never with her experiencing continuous orgams for hours at a time. It was mind-blowing for each of us.
She's had plenty of my brownies before.
Our experience suggests that extracting AVB into butter using the pressure cooker technique is truly a superior process. I highly recommend!
:)
Anyone else have a similar experience?
That was three weeks ago...
Since that time, she's had smaller doses of the butter ranging from 0.10 grams to 0.50 grams. It's definitely a dose dependent thing. Even on as little as 0.25grams she will wake me out of a sound slumber past ready to fuck as she's already experiencing orgasms. On these smaller doses we're able to really enjoy ourselves without wearing each other out, lol.
Happy Wednesday Y'all!! Laissez les bon temps rouler!!!
I love smoking joints and have actually moved from DHV to joints. But, wow, it’s easy to use weed that way.
Two years ago 1/8 a month, 4 months ago 1/4 a month, now 1oz is easy. At this rate in a few years I’ll smoke all the world’s weed in a day :-).
I am cutting back. I can’t afford 1oz a month at my current prices. If I smoked daily I’d be into 2 oz a month.
I have severe anxiety and OCD. I am 23 in grad school. I have no family history of mental illness besides OCD.
I was recently diagnosed with OCD but I have had the tendencies my entire life and this bad high really brought it out and was even hospitalized for it in the past due to the extreme anxiety (unrelated to this story).
So, this happened about 3 months ago right after finals I wanted to relax so I got high, my tolerance was very low, and I took more than I normally do and I was also high alone in my college apartment which is never the case so I was on fucking edge it was bad.
I was playing COD with my buddies online. I took way too much edible (120 mg 1% cbd and 35% THC) and this made me very anxious and also took 200 mg of caffeine of reign. So, then I thought I heard something, and I ripped my headphones off, and it sounded like my neighbors/someone in the hallway, but I was so high that it made it sound like it was in my apartment.
This made me super anxious, because I thought what I was hearing was not real (but in hindight it probably was). Then my friends got off and I stayed on because I was super anxious that I would hear something and I wanted them to stay on because I thought I was going to hallucinate and hear something not real when I took my headphones off. Then when I eventually did take my headphones off I was so tired and anxious.
This led to me hearing what sounded like intelligible conversation(I also had a ton of white noise in my room) and this made me freak out into a panic attack, because I thought I was in psychosis. I had no delusions, messages, or anything from what I thought I heard. My tinnitus was so bad (always is when I am high) that I couldn't tell where I was coming from but it sounded like white noise in my apartment. I went to sleep and felt completely normal the next day until I googled schizophrenia symptoms and now, I am very anxious about getting it.
Is dis from da anxiety or from me going crazy?
What are some of your favorite scary/creepy YouTube channels or videos that are REAL (not just scripted or obviously faked)?

Just looking for some recommendations. Thanks!
I usually make cannaoil by putting the flower and oil in a jar and then on putting in a pot to "boil". Is it okay to do the same with butter? Should I leave it on an extra hour to make it as potent as the cannaoil? Other sources are telling me to simmer it in a pan but I feel I lose more product that way
I just figured this could be a fun interactive game for the smokers of reddit to do while high lol we all have those "Stoner Thoughts/Questions" so let's ask them in the comments and see what others think. Hope everyone is enjoying their Friday tho
Been a pretty consistent and enthusiastic fan of smoking for a few years now (about 3 years). The last time I smoked up I had maybe a .25 out of the bong and after about 20 minutes my heart rate went super high and I was getting heart palpitations. I’m not very old - in my early 20s and I had to stop smoking due to my heart issues. I just got blood work done to test for hyperthyroidism today and I’m really missing my green friend. I was wondering if anyone had similar experiences and if they’ve been able to go back to their use of cannabis because I really don’t want to give it up, but I’m not gonna trade a buzz for my heart escaping through my chest. (Little all over the place on this post but oh well). Thank you for your anticipated help :)
Sorry if this kind of post isn’t allowed, I just want fresh opinions. The tree is legal where I am.
I’m looking to purchase an at home vaporizer for dry herb. I’ve been told to look at the Volcano Hybrid. Their reputation seems to have held up these years but I’ve never owned one. I don’t mind paying money for a good product if it’ll last years. Also looking for something easy to clean.
Anyone own one? Or a different one and want to share your opinion? Any fancy ones that take care of concentrates too?
I’ve tried poking around online but I am seeing lots of old posts/articles. And it’s so hard to tell if people are being honest in online reviews now!
If you have known weed for a while you might be both morning “Wake and Bake” and evening “Bliss and sleep” as well as “smoke often”. But sometime early on you had a favorite. Awake with coffee and smoking weed OR smoke (vape) in the evening.
For me it’s the Wake and Bake. I love starting with a smoke or vape and coffee. There’s often more after that though :-).
Are they more just for show or do they actually help in filtering out tar/etc?
Been smokin these raws with raw filters. Noticed tar on the paper but not a lot in the filter itself even tho I don't unroll every single one and look.
What's the best way to roll the filters? Been doing different things. Smaller the filter roll seems to smoke better imo
Hello everyone, just a few questions for some weed smokers that will know more than I do. I was looking into different forms of weed (I prefer edibles & sodas, but also smoke too) and ran into a powder called brelixi. Seems to be too good to be true and has rave reviews. They can ship it bc it’s delta 9. I don’t know much about delta 9 other than we tried to smoke it in NYC and didn’t love it. Would love to hear opinions on this product or even some bomb edible suggestions :)
So my sweet new family I need an education. I am trying to place an order online and this is the second place this has happened at, my card gets declined. I have cash on it, I have the card unlocked (I keep it locked in between purchases when I'm traveling) and it gets declined. So I went on a hunt for why. It appears as though these types of purchases are blocked by Direct Express (They only process federal government payments, ie. Social Security & Federal Pensions) I'm trying to buy thca which is completely legal. Has anyone else ran into this and did you find a prepaid card that works instead. I can't afford trial and error card fees nor the time it would hold up getting what I need ordered so it's at home when I get there. Thanks in advance ☺️ 😘 😊
If you could have anyone be blunt/joint roller, who would it be and if you could be anyone's blunt/joint roller, who would it be? What's your reason?
Just a good question to start a decent conversation! What you all think?
Hello r/eldertrees community,
I’m reaching out to seek support for a cause that’s close to many of our hearts. In Santa Cruz, CA, there’s a movement to enhance access to medical cannabis for veterans, led by The Hook Outlet Dispensary in partnership with WAMM. This initiative directly supports veterans suffering from conditions like PTSD and chronic pain, providing them with much-needed relief.
However, there’s a roadblock – an active petition against this effort. We’re countering with our own petition to show that there is strong community support for our veterans and their right to medicinal cannabis.
I believe this is a cause that would resonate with our community here at r/eldertrees, and I would be grateful if you would consider showing your support by signing and sharing the petition. Your signature can help ensure that veterans receive the care they need.
Hi, y’all. I’m a middle aged stoner and I’m having trouble finding weed-related gear designed for, well, people who’d prefer nicer, more understated designs. I’d love it if folks could share sites or companies where I could, say, buy a pipe or stash box that doesn’t look like one my 14 year old gamer son would want lol. And that doesn’t looks like it got a spread in Cigar Aficionado in 2001
Friday Stoner Check In: What time is it for you, what are you doing and how old are you?
For me it's 8:28 pm, Im taking hits from this bowl, going through a playlist, it's my 28th birthday tomorrow so just coolin really. What about yall?
I've got a case that my lighter slides into- it's made with a groove around the bottom where you wrap the wick, then a small tube on the side that directs the wick up toward the top. Got it from Amazon, works ok.
My anxiety is overwhelming. I can’t calm my stomach. CBD helps but I’ve only purchased it from dispensaries and I need to know if there is anything online that really helps. I think even 1:1 is messing with me. ✌️
