I just read up on his stuff, very awesome! Then I got to youtubing vertical hydro grows and now I want to build one sometime lol. So freaking cool, i really like the gravity feed and only having to use one water pump. Pretty much self automated if you get a 50gal res! Just have one back up pump on hand incase the pump fails and your all set. I'm gonna draw up some plans for a tent i think

Been battling wind damage to the plastic sheeting on the walls of the greenhouse, as we've been getting steady winds of 25mph with gusts up to 45mph, and expected to get some up to 70mph in a bit.
So I got the sides shored up & reinforced with wood planks, added some heavier rope to the anchor points, and I cut some pressure relief slits in strategic spots of the plastic sheeting of the walls to reduce the parachute effect.
I've got two places opened up on each side for airflow and to reduce moisture build-up in the greenhouse.
The plants are loving it so far, and they're fully protected now.
Provided the greenhouse doesn't fly away.
And I had to make a run out to Fred Meyers and to Lowes to get some heavy rope & eye bolts for new anchors for the greenhouse, so had a "blast" riding along at 45mph and getting hit by 70mph crosswids out by the ANG airfield near Lowe's.
Beautiful views of the stormy clouds during the ride, though.
I love motorcycles!!!

Marijuana advocates’ secret weapon
Champions of pot legalization are challenging police to "drug duels" to prove weed is less dangerous than booze

When Colorado voters in 2012 approved a ballot measure legalizing marijuana, the state did not merely break new ground in the ongoing battle over narcotics policy. It also bolstered an innovative new political message that compares cannabis to alcohol.
Two years later, that comparison is being deployed in key marijuana-related elections throughout the country, and drug reform advocates are so sure marijuana is safer than alcohol, they are now challenging police to a “drug duel” to prove their point.
The proposal for the duel from David Boyer, an official with the Maine chapter of the Marijuana Policy Project, came after South Portland Police Chief Edward Googins announced his opposition to a municipal referendum to legalize marijuana possession.
“Claims that marijuana is safer than alcohol are so bogus it’s not even funny,” Googins told a local newspaper.
In response, Boyer has challenged the police chief to a “hit for shot” duel — for every shot of alcohol Googins takes, Boyer would take a toke of marijuana, and the public would be able to see who is in worse physical condition in the end.
“We have done everything in our power to highlight the danger associated with laws that steer adults toward drinking by threatening to punish them if they make the safer choice to use marijuana,” Boyer said in a press release promising to bring “enough alcohol to kill a man” to the duel. “Enough is enough. Perhaps this dramatic demonstration of the relative harms of each substance will finally get the point across.”
The “drug duel” concept — and the larger comparison between cannabis and alcohol — is the brainchild of MPP officials Steve Fox and Mason Tvert. In the years leading up to Colorado’s historic legalization vote, Tvert slammed politicians like John Hickenlooper and Pete Coors for opposing marijuana legalization even though they made their personal fortunes selling alcohol. He famously challenged both of them to drug duels.
Following unsuccessful legalization campaigns in Nevada and California, Tvert and Fox convinced advocates in Colorado to explicitly frame the 2012 campaign around the alcohol-marijuana comparison. Ultimately, the ballot initiative was called the Regulate Marijuana Like Alcohol Act of 2012.
Tvert says that in a state with a beer brewer governor, a burgeoning craft beer industry, and a professional baseball stadium named after an alcohol brand, the strategy gave voters a familiar product to which they could compare cannabis.

“The message is simple: If we can regulate alcohol we can regulate a far less harmful substance,” he said. “Marijuana has been illegal because too many people think it is too dangerous to allow adults to use, when in fact it is less harmful than alcohol.”
From crime research to hospital data to morbidity statistics, there is plenty of evidence to support that assertion. And since the Colorado vote, the message has gained political traction.
In January, for instance, the New Yorker reported that President Obama said, “I don’t think (marijuana) is more dangerous than alcohol.” A few months later, a Pew Research Center poll showed that 69 percent of Americans say alcohol is more harmful to people’s health than marijuana.
In this election, the alcohol-marijuana comparison is defining legalization campaigns not only in Lewiston and South Portland, Maine, but also in Alaska. There, drug reformers call their effort the Campaign to Regulate Marijuana Like Alcohol. They have sponsored bus ads promoting marijuana as a safer drug than alcohol.
Additionally, though much of the legalization campaign happening in Oregon has been about public safety, activists designed that initiative to invoke the alcohol comparison. Specifically, their proposal would have the Oregon Liquor Control Commission expand its regulatory oversight to marijuana.
“Everyone recognizes that alcohol prohibition was a huge failure,” Tvert says. “Our point is that marijuana prohibition has been just as big of a disaster
