There's just something awesome about adding umami flavors to your meal. Here's a small loaf I whipped up to share with my wife today... - Ground Turkey - Small amount of Keto Carrots - Dash of Kvass (The juice from lacto ferments like Keto Carrots) - Fresh sprig of Rosemary - Freeze dried Onion/Garlic - Thyme - Pink Himalayan Salt Topped with chopped broccoli and parsley Covered and oven baked at 350F/176C for 45 minutes Cool note to those who do not like broccoli after it has cooked and cooled (uh... me!), the good broccoli flavors remain and it's still a delight to eat. :D

Seriously, the 'barn' is a 40'x70' shop with 4 roll up doors you can drive a semi-truck through. When it's windy the doors rattle and it freaks out the rabbits. We've fixed most of the rattling, but now I'm playing podcasts loud enough it soothes them rather nicely. :) I bought a JBL-110 Sound Bar, and now I want one for my house too. lol Ok, so my rabbits do not need the lights on it, but they do appreciate the noise. Eventually I plan on having 4 large tv screens so they can watch movies. (Did you know rabbits like to watch movies? Ask me about the time I kept 4 rabbit hutches in my bedroom for 6 months.) BTW... I'm VERY impressed with this JBL-110 sound bar. The sound output is amazing, and it fills the 40x70 space easily. (I was concerned it would be too small for such a large space) With microphone and guitar inputs, aux in and aux out, it's rather well designed. I'm only using the bluetooth with an old phone I have with downloaded podcasts. The only downside (so far) is it seems to power off every other day or so, even though the phone is still playing podcasts. Have to look into that.

Over 20 years ago a wonderful soul going by OldTimer1 posted some invaluable information. I've added a copy of the original information as a class, and I encourage all growers to view it. Bonsai cannabis plants require only an 8"x8" footprint, with the ability to keep 18 mums under a 4', 2-lamp T8 light. 18 mums can produce up to 9500 cuttings a year! :D All About Bonsai Mums (by OT1)

I've added a fermentation I enjoy and benefit from. Chinese red yeast rice wine, and yeast ball rice wine is medicinal and beneficial, while the lees can also be used in various cooking dishes. The class covers: - Tools and materials - Ingredients - Variations - Recipes for "Lees" You'll learn the basic history of red yeast rice wine and how to make it. Up your fermentation game and create something unique. ;)

Using STS to make feminized seeds does NOT damage your genetics. It does NOT make hermaphrodite-prone plants. Here's the truth: Hermaphrodites come from bad parents. Not from STS. How STS Actually Works Female cannabis plants need a hormone called ethylene to grow female flowers. STS blocks ethylene production temporarily in the parts you spray. No ethylene? The plant grows male flowers instead. But here's the key: The plant's DNA doesn't change. You're not "forcing" anything unnatural, you're just blocking one hormone for a bit. Think of it like putting a hat on your dog. The dog doesn't become a different breed. It's still the same dog. When you take the hat off, it goes back to normal. STS is the hat. The genetics stay the same. So Why Do People Think STS Causes Hermies? Because they used unstable parents. If you breed with a plant that has hermaphrodite tendencies (even hidden ones), those seeds will hermie too. Doesn't matter if you use feminized pollen or regular pollen. Bad parents = bad seeds. The root of the problem was the lack of stress testing in the early 2000s: Stress testing takes forever. Each stress can take 1-3 weeks to trigger male flowers. Testing multiple clones properly? You're looking at months, sometimes over a year, before you know if a plant is truly stable. That's expensive. Lights, space, nutrients, time, all tied up in testing instead of producing. Most breeders skipped it. They most often reversed whatever looked good, made thousands of seeds, sold them fast, and moved on. When those seeds turned hermie under stress, growers blamed feminization instead of lazy breeding. The market was flooded with garbage feminized seeds in the 2000s-2010s because almost nobody was willing to invest the time and money into proper stress testing. It was faster and more profitable to just pump out seeds and let customers deal with the consequences. That's why the myth stuck. What Proper Breeding Looks Like - Clone your female candidate multiple times - Expose those clones to every common stress (light leaks, temp swings, nutrient issues, root binding, etc.) - Wait 1-3 weeks per stress test - Only breed with females that stay 100% female through ALL tests
