Hey Sims, I have a question for you as a black man; what do you think about the people in videos like this:

Lol I know that I dont put myself in the same categories as those people they are pretty dumb.. They live up to the stereotype of acting like animals but what most people don't realize is, if you put white people in the same environment you will get the same result. Meaning who ever grows up in the hood will have a hood mentality, its hard to shake once your around it, I have changed my lifestyle because I once was just like that. Now if you look into history you will see that blacks were made to be the way they are now, did you know more white people do drugs then black people but black people get arrested more for drug related crimes... Its just pure racism, the system has not changed one bit man whites were the ones who gave us guns and drugs knowing that it would destroy our communities. All in all I've come to realize that we have been made to act like animals with all the years of torment we went through as a people, all of our leaders were either killed or put in jails. They created niggas and we keep niggas alive lol, isnt it dumb we go around calling ourselves something that was meant to demean us. Things like that I don't do anymore I had to take myself away from all my friends cuz they are nothing but trouble. Black people need to wake up and stop being stupid we got all this black on black crime when we should really be retaliating against the people who did this to us lol. If I step up as a black leader I would be killed or put in jail.. thats the system for you shavashalom.

Ahh shit don't get me started on this fucking non-sense again!slavery ended 200 years ago we got a black president and the white man is now a minority so blaming whitey is just horseshit! more like blame it on yourself for acting like a fucking jungle tribe!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Most of my black friends don't condone how the "G's" act and are for the most part embarrassed by them. Should read about what's going on in chicago not a fucking whitey around!Places to post this besides a community that for the most part is peace full,and trying to put out good vibes, this shit just stirs hate and if you must at least post it in the proper forum!

I was just asking Sim's opinion....

yep and i was following his thread but gonna be shit like this i'm not! post the shit where it belongs

ok, hope somewhere between posts about how black people propagates being mistreated someone will try to help me with treat related question.
I have one clone and i have one grow box where i am growing my main plants which are on 12/12 lights and i hope for harvest in about month, can clone be kept with my main plants for this period as i want this clone to grow bigger and keep in vegetation state for bit more than month?
This is my first grow and my first clone, wasnt really planning on making clones, but as my plant was quite bushy took few cuts and one rooted as beautiful clone. And recently I noticed super small white hair (could be mistaken dont know if it is even possible) i started to think maybe it is starting flowering even being so small (3.5 inches).

Nope... The clone must have atleast 13+ hours of dalylight in order to.remain in the veg state... If u have another light and room , use that .. if not u will have to bring your clone outside to veg. If not u have to just flower your clone... Some people do it, u wouldn't suggest it tho .. my clone which wav taken straight from the day it rooted into flower didn't yield much ... Clones need some veg time imo .

To growermojo & Berkman... I was asked a question . And I simply gave my honest Opinion... I was not offended , and I'm black.. I would hope that if I had a question about white people someone would give me an honest answer... Now, I do agree this is not really the place for that question .. but I'm not bothered.. I would hope that nobody else was either. If so , just don't respond to it ... I answered , and now its done... Back to weed

Thx, I concur.

And to bombasticson.. I feel u to an extent.. but not all the way .. I'm surprised to see such a strong opinion on this topic coming from a young dude such as yourself.. u come off as being militant or some sh*t , like a black panther.. u make good points but if u really want people to listen.. try not to sound like ur dictating and try and offer alternative suggestions and opinnions ... I find people are.more willing to listen when u don't come.on so strong... And as far as the black president.. true.. a big step for the nation.. but that doesn't mean racism is gone.. tell that to the cops in my neighboorhood... U have a hat or a hood on after 10 over here u will prob get stopped and searched.. I go to white neighborhoods.. they don't even have detectives or undercovers ... U only get stopped for traffic violations.. but watever. This is a mj forum so ill try to keep all posts after this about mj

guess you never been to a white trash neighborhood hell i got cops sit in my driveway watching people. not just a black thing why i say everyone needs to get over it! And my town which is about half and half on the race has got 3/4 whites in it's jail so your logic really don't hold much water where i'm from.his comment did'mt offend me other than it's wrong place to bring it up,like i said come here for weed not hate breed so unsubscribing sorry.

Alright.. So as I showed everyone in the pics yesterday , i bought some clone ex, mason jars, and some trimming scissors... I'm really thinking hard about my harvest and future grows.. I have a question about the drying and curing.. should I dry the buds on the stem, or remove it from the stem to dry.. is the paper bag step after the drying and before the cure really necessary?? And if I am supposed to take bud off stem to cure, how do I do the stem snap test ??? I heard some people say to make sure the stems snap before curing in jars. But I heard someone else says that if the stems snap before curing that is the easiest way to dry bud too much, and end up with tumbleweed,advice please...

Ok well I'm too novice to give you any advice, I think your gonna need more jars if you wanna cure all of it. That Glp was bulky, and that white widow looked thick too bro I think ur gonna be surprised come harvest time

Here are my two cents....

-You can do without the paper bag step if you want, I don't think it's necessary.
-I trimmed most of my buds from the stems but left about 20% of the stems just for the "snap" test. (snap doesn't mean break!!! it means the snapping sound)
-I put my bud in the jars too soon and the stems were not snapping so I had to take them out and dry them a little more so I would recommend waiting until the stems snap.

Take it slow and try not to overreact, and that is tough to do since you don't want to have it to wet because of mold and you don't want it too dry because then you can't cure it. BillCollector99 asked me this: would you rather have mold or bud that's too dry? I would err on the side of too dry while still aiming for the perfect cure.

Good luck!

O ok.. and yea.. I would def rather bud that is too dry than to have moldy bud. But what I would really prefer , is to have bud that's just right.. so I'm gonna try and do what u said ... My buds aren't that big, so I'm thinking a 3-5 day dry... And ill start curing after that

And to anwall.. I hope ur right , but I really doubt it. My glp isn't that big at all , idk how many oz can fit in the jars I bought , but I estimate about a qp , maybe a little less.. and I can't see me getting more than an oz off the glp.. I attached a pic that has my glp , my mason jar , and a 2 liter bottle for reference so u can see how big the mason jar really is.

Sounds good. Post the status along the way.

I forgot to attach the pic to the post, and it wouldn't show up when I edited it , so here's the glp next to the mason jar

Here's a pic of my cc clone ... It's a piece of sh*t... Def will veg out clones from now on, I can't imagine me gettin more than 7 grams of this plant.. and I'm a heavy smoker , I smoke that on a weekend sometimes lol, the sad part is.. I think ill prob get less than 7 grams after its dried.

This is my white widow.. idk y I'm showing this plant, I'm bored and feel like bragging a lil

more than 13 hours. its strain dependent. but some need up into the 14.5 hours of daylight to stay in a veg state.
