Kitty,
A bit off subject. What is the deal with BC growers all growing the same strain? I see these vids, and a ton of guys are growing Hash Plant. In another time period they are all growing Jamaican. It looks like they are all getting their genetics from the same place and selling to the same place. Is there really organized growing going on?
hell if i know. i spent the early 2000s trying to dodge the fucking hashplant (it was like today's kushes. you couldn't look at 4 pics without one of them being a hashplant). to this day strains that taste like it are a no-go in the kitty universe. it used to be The Thing back when export quality product had to have fully receded pistils and lime green; it had a nice peppery flavour but had little else going for it, imo. the jamaican.... i don't know. probably the same reason commercial growers like their big bud and critical mass.
not sure what you mean by organized growing? [tongue-in-cheek]everybody knows there's no such thing as a mafia[/tongue]. in all seriousness though, this brings up an interesting point. in my years as a trimmer, i've encountered a few grows where there was more than one boss; the interesting thing is that they all seemed to have been governed by the same set of unwritten rules, usually culled at least a little bit from The Biker Code.![]()
Satvias make me wonder if its possible for a macro shot of your finger print to positively id you.
I never take pictures of my hands.
Its impossible tho rite?
Idk man I've never even seen one of those 5000$ + trimming machines in person. I don't understand how it can give close shving results without harming the buds.

you bring up a good point, woody. i think if i lived in the states i would probably take a lot more precautions to cover my ass than i do. i guess this is the comfort provided by a federally approved program.
that said, i'm not super-concerned about the leo angle in general. if some enterprising leo manages to pull my fingerprint off ^that^ photo, it'll only be a waste of time for him/her; the biggest inconvenience that'll come to me by it will be that he's doing it on my taxbuck.
those other guys that want to kick your door in, on the other hand......
here in southern bc we have the gang capital of canada, which also happens to be the murder capital, which happens to be about an hour down the highway from the body-dumping capital (no kidding). most bc growers i know are WAY more concerned about rippers and home invaders than cops, and rightly so. i know 3 times as many growers who've been ripped off or robbed at gunpoint than growers who've been busted. desperate times means desperate people. i just recently heard of one ripoff where the guy who got ripped knew 120% who did it (they either didn't bother covering their tracks, or didn't cover them very well) -- put it this way, if i had a choice between rectal cancer and deliberately getting on this guy's bad side, i'd take the ass cancer. (and i don't say that lightly; i almost lost one of my favourite family members to it.) when i heard the story, the first thing that came to mind was, "wow, there are some desperate-ass people around...."
i doubt the local gangbangers are going to be triangulating my location off a forum photo fingerprint. (i sure as fucking well hope not anyways)
as far as the trimming machines, i've seen and worked with no less than 5 different models (big red shredder, rolling thunder, spin pro, and 2 versions of the electric spin pro) -- hated every single one. i think you have to have a LOT of product to be happy with the quality/time tradeoff -- a commercial amount of lights, a years' worth of outdoor, that sort of thing. time-wise it is a huge advantage, but you're right; quality definitely takes a backseat. i suspect this is why handtrimming is becoming de rigeur again ... that and the guys that went and spent that kind of $$ are finally at the point of: "welp, i got x number of trims out of it, so i got my money's worth...."
I'm a mother fucking trimming machine. I knock out half a bow every hour. And that is without music and beer. With music and beer I bet you can pop an extra oz or two on there every hour.
Blasting my fucking tunes right now and smoking a bong load for my birthday right now by the way. These Bowers & Wilkins bookshelf speakers are just soooo fucking incredible, it's not noise, it's atmosphere. Anyone else in here an audiophile?
so i made some topical cream a la ms hazorazo, i think i like it!! (still experimenting though.)
i made up some double strength canna-oil (coconut oil) and cut it with the same amount of cocoa butter (the stuff they make chocolate out of). i just melted the cocoa butter a bit and added the canna-oil and it turned into an avocado-coloured paste; i would imagine if i took it and whipped it i'd end up with a nice lotiony texture but i'm experimenting with dosage and that's easier to do on unwhipped stuff.
funny story: the first time i put it on i took about 1ml and slathered it all over my hands.... 5 minutes later i was like "omg, i'm SO high right now, this stuff works really fast".... and then i remembered i'd just smoked a big hash joint to mehself right before fiddling with the cream....
i put some on one of mr kitty's arms last night. we were outside having a puff about 1/2 hour later, and he noticed that the hand of the arm i'd put the cream on was all toasty warm. like, noticeably so, when he touched my arm with both hands. actually he said it was nice and toasty from his elbow down, and i put the cream on the inside of his elbow.
hazo: i highly recommend the cocoa butter as a carrier oil. it absorbed really quickly, and once it did, all you could smell was chocolate..
I am somewhat, but I've always been on the lower-mid grade equipment scale. I always buy Denon and Polk Audio, such a huge difference between what you get at Best Buy and true quality components. B&W however, is a bit more than I'm willing to spend...
I do the Denon and Klipsch combo. My 15 year old Denon amp still blows the doors off most of the shit being sold out there. And Klipsch...well...enough said.
Hello Mello! How've you been? Those are some beautiful nugs you posted. I had a nice effect while making my canna butter the other day...squeezing it out through the cheesecloth, my hands were just covered with it. I have very painful hands, and by the time I was done with the squeezing, they didn't hurt. I am going to be trying bad kitty's recipes with the coconut oil too. I wasn't able to find the lecithin powder, just the granules and liquid. Do you think the liquid works the same as the powder?
