So I am officially relocated to Fresno! If you didn't know yet, I moved from Tucson, AZ out to Fresno, CA because my fiancée got accepted into her doctorate program out here. This last month has had a TON of drama around moving, but I have everything settled now and I'm moved over and (mostly) unpacked. I've been really quiet on here while I've been running around putting out fires, but I'm finally getting back into adding content daily, and building out the Skool. Unfortunately, I am also back to the apartment lifestyle. This means making due with limited space, little to no outdoor growing, and finding myself on the much more low-key side of things again. But that just means I get to show you guys how to make it work! 😎 Dealing with some of those challenges can lead to a lot of creativity and resourcefulness, which I always try to encourage. I actually plan on building out a whole section in the classroom on "stealth growing" and some of the tips & tricks I've learned over the years to avoid headaches, so let me know if that's something that would be useful to you! ⚠️ Please follow all your local laws still. I intend to make that section as a way to help you minimize nuisances, and maximize the value of the limited spaces you have available. ⚠️ That being said, I did have to downsize a little and I'm only going to have 1 indoor tent up for flowering (although you guys never got to see the others anyways). Thankfully, I was able to bring most of my clones / mother stock with me, so I'll have a bit of a jump start with some badass genetics to show off, and I'm lucky enough to have a small garage I get to use as a soil workshop. 👀🌱 I won't have the full backyard garden like before, but I do still have a small balcony / porch area that I'll be using to make a little personal garden. No matter where I go, I'll always find a way to grow some peppers, veggies, herbs, or maybe even a little tea garden. It's one of the small things I really enjoy, and I encourage everyone to do the same!

Hi y'all, Looks like the nuets I gave them have stimulated some new growth yippee!! no signs of Amber.

When you treat your desert garden to nutrients!! I put compost tea on them a week before this. (I gave them mushroom compost all along and they’ve done well but never this much blooming this late!! ). I think I usually prune them too early and this stops the bloom hormone. This year, a broken shoulder made me wait. I’m glad!!!

I've been thinking a lot about what direction I want to take things, and I want your help! My plan originally was to create this as a resource for growers to have / use whenever they have questions, or run into obstacles. I wanted to use the classroom section as a place to dump information & resources so that I had an easy direction to point people towards when they ask me questions. I originally was going to have it sectioned into different tiers, but I think I lean towards having a basics course for brand new people, and using the "Beginner's Cannabis" section almost like a canna-encyclopedia. I'm still continuing to work on those every day, but I want to get a little more hands-on. Information is great, but I want to find real reasons for people to show up here consistently. So that's where I'm at today. What do you want out of this Skool? Tell me your ideal world. If I could wave a magic wand and overnight grant you your wishes, what would you like to see? Drop me a comment or DM with whatever would bring you the most value personally, even if it's not realistic. In an ideal world, I could be in-person to check out every single person's garden & give tailored advice, support, and encouragement at any moment you desire. I'd love to be able to share clones of really special plants, and help show people those really unique experiences. Of course that's not possible, but I've found it to be a good brainstorming exercise for how I want to structure things. Help me out! I also want to hear from the experienced growers about what they value the most. I'd love to be able to share clones of really special plants, and help show people some really unique experiences. Legally, that gets pricy dicey pretty quick (especially in other states or countries). But forget about practicality, what would be your dream world? ---------------------------------------- There's a lot of possibility on this page, and I have enough experience & knowledge at this point that I feel very confident in my ability to help people succeed.

I like certain terpenes (linalool, limonene) and wondered how to increase these terpenes and how to increase CBN for sleep. I had always thought that Terpenes were part of plant metabolism but then I heard that Terpene packs can be added. I found an in depth article (on plant in general) on the Biosynthesis of Plant Terpenoids in public med. It came out May 2025 and has alot of in depth biochemical info which I had to skip but also has a lot of other interesting info about terpenes. PMC12114759. That led to another article about cytochrome P450 oxygenase, an enzyme that increases terpenes and that they are using bacteria and yeast to produce this. I am concerned that some industries are getting their terpenes synthetically through bacteria and yeast rather than through normal growth organic processes. I would like to know what is in the terpenes packs, and how it affects health. Would we know if we are buying flower at the dispensary if it contains synthetic terpenes? From what I read in the article (I am no expert and just learning how), plants develop terpenes in response to stress. It can be insect stress, light uva uvb stress, etc and that they develop terpenes as a protective response. The terpenes are antimicrobial and have other healthful properties. The terpenes carbon skeleton starts genetically and the environment leads to biochemical development. The stickiness on the female buds, is them trying to attract the male pollen which can be invisible and in the air or brought in in people’s hair or clothes. The smells are the terpenes. What about the terpenes in other products? I don’t want to just trust for profit industries to think about my health! I want organically grown terpenes! Natural! How can I tell if synthetic terpenes are added?
