Where are you going to be June 19-20?

San Francisco? I hope so!

1st ever Medical Cannabis Cup hosted by Hightimes (will be much like their famous Cannabis Cup across the pond). This will focus on medical strains, and local medical dispensaries. You do NOT need to be a Prop 215 patient. This IS open to the adult public. Hope to see some there!

1ST HIGH TIMES MEDICAL CANNABIS CUP - JUNE 19-20, 2010 - SAN FRANCISCO

I know it would be hard for most, if not all of you to make it. Thought I'd spread the word though.

yeah man i was plannin on goin to fresno/clovis area to visit some fam this summer i might need to make it around that time and drive the extra couple hours just to go check it out man.
 
Very glad you're back and doing fine, Sister Huba.

Did Mr Hubababa do a good job of watching the plants while you were away???

He did great, he didn't feed them, but he kept them alive!

Funny you should say that. Docs told me my smoking has had a good affect on my BP as well. I wish you nothing but the best and good health always.

Thanks so much.

i apologize to you Hubebaba i guess its my fault for not really lookin into you profile and realizing your a lady. lol but just the same its good to have you back

Not a problem, quite used to being called a dude...

Thanks for the welcome backs & the well wishes.:roorrip:
 
ok as long as all is well and you shouldnt be called a dude lol wont happen again see im still new so i will use that for an excuse i know i dont get many of those but it wont happen again. So the doc says it helps with your blood pressure is that a condition in the state your in cause if so i might look into that for myself.
 
My girlfriend and I plan on being there. I believe to be a judge though, you do have to be prop. 215 legal. I would argue that a cannabis cup in California might just be better than the Amsterdam one. Think of all the good genetics hidden away in the hills.

Good deal. If you do order your tickets and come on down, PM me in advance. Who knows! :roorrip:

He did great, he didn't feed them, but he kept them alive!

YAY!!!! Great to hear! Alive is GOOD.

Glad your back lady!

Right on man. Like I said with GG. If you order tickets, PM me. :roorrip:

The judging, like in Amsterdam, is done on your own accord. In amsterdam, you are given a guide book, and allowed to travel to the different coffee shops. you purchase the weed with your money. You smoke it when/where/how you want.

Then, when it's time for the Cup, you bring your notes from the last few days of "judging" and use the "Rating Card" to vote for favorite strains.

In Amsterdam, they have a VIP testing zone. This is INVITE only. This is what determines the "Cup Winners" for the most part.

If you have never been, GO.

The Medical Cup in S.F. will be somewhat similar. It's the first year, so wait for it to pick up speed. Things start slow.

Local Dispensaries can enter the contest. You can get a guide book, or look online for which dispensaries enter. You can then travel to these dispensaries to sample what they offer. Edibles, hash, or the ganja. You buy it, smoke it, keep notes.

Then, when the cup time starts up, you head down and cast your votes.

There will be some killer seminars, speeches, gatherings, parties, and even places for prop 215 patients to medicate! All kinds of cool stuff.

From the website:
All ticket buyers will receive a list of California dispensaries participating in the Medical Cannabis Cup. State sanctioned medical marijuana patients can visit those dispensaries on their own and sample each dispensary's entered strain in the weeks leading up to the Cup.



The Medical Cannabis Cups will be awarded by a panel of independent experts, lead by Marijuana Horticulture author Jorge Cervantes, based on extensive sampling in a blind tasting. This expert panel will be at the Expo on Sunday evening to announce their decisions and award the Medical Cannabis Cups to California's top medical marijuana providers.

That is where the real judging happens! The "panel of experts" not so much the people's vote.

:yummy:
 
yeah man if everything goes well i will for sure hit you up man i would really like it if i can go it would be a very interesting thing for me and the wife to do.

I dont think that qualifies. Lots of stuff does tho, WA state.
 
Roseman,

A guy I know would like to go into early sexing because he only has one plant, but he just did a couple of rounds of topping. He wants to know if early sexing immediately after topping will be counterproductive.

He'll take his answer off the air, thanks!
 
Just saw the last few messages - thanks guys! (and gals... :bigblush:)

We've got a really great crew in back, just how great I'm finding out. It's a tough job, knowing when to let things go and when to edit... all I can say is I hope folks will appreciate just how much thought and good will goes into everything to do with our site and membership.

I guess I'm late too.. so congrats to OBX.

So, how does one become a mod? Was there an opening because a mod left or did they feel they needed another one? Do you apply for the position or are you asked? Just asking questions my brother, cause I don't know a damn thing about it. I'm thinking that maybe I missed a post, because I log on and everyone is offering their congratulations to OBX.

Sam

I was asked - they pretty much just watch how you post, and see who has the demeanor required. Keeping an even keel, spreading a good vibe, and handling site violations with care is the main thing for a Mod. No one likes to be called out, so the site violations is really the hardest part.

It's totally volunteer, but you'd never know it from the professionalism of everyone involved.

They do need more volunteers... and the best way to let them know you are interested is just to help out people as much as you can... it gets noticed. :peace:

Hope you don't mind Roseman if I take a shot at it... ;)

The best way to sex a plant you don't want to flower is to take a clone and flower it, that way the whole plant does not have to go through the start of flowering and then revert back to veg, which can take over a month before it grows normally again, and even then they tend to put out a lot of single leaves.

I don't think topping will affect things one way or the other.

It lowers blood sugar and keep diabetes away too, I have been told.

The way I understand it, when we go to 12/12, the plant does not immediately jump into the Flowering Cycle. It takes about two weeks, and first goes into a pre-flowering cycle. So if he topped, he has those two weeks afterwards for new tops to appear and they normally appear in a few days in a rapid hydro grow. So he's cool. He ought to take a cutting or two for a clone, incase it is female.

:yummy: Roseman, or anyone with some advice. I have a plant about four weeks into flower. I noticed some, what looked like pollen sacks growing about half way down the plant. Since joining this site I have read about hermorphodite plants. I cut the pollen sacks (or what they looked to be) off to avoid pollenation. My calculated harvest date is April 23,. Did I do the right thing or did I panic?:reading420magazine:
 
:yahoo: Good. I should have chatted first but I thought it was the appropriate action. I will keep a close eye on this plant. I didn't clip this one but had a light accident where it got a little to close (right into it) and damaged the top spear (already into flowering) now I have two small top flowers. The shock may have caused the transexual effect.:thanks:

Thats pretty cool man i might just have to look into that my grandfather and my father both diabetics and all three of us have high blood pressure mine not so bad wasnt told untill about a year ago.
