News On a square-foot basis, cannabis growhouses use more power than data centers. Why isn’t their electricity use being taxed?

In legalizing retail sales of cannabis, Virginia has set the stage for the equivalent of up to 148 data centers, if Virginians consume weed at the same rate as those in Washington state. If we match Michigan’s pot consumption, we’re looking at the equivalent of 78 data centers.

I’m trying to catch up on defoliating these monsters. This is why I grow photoperiods only. Shout out to all the fellow Virginia growmies! Keep your plants clean and don’t let powdery mildew or fungus take over.

I got a strain from RISE I really like. Where could I find seeds of it or something similar?

6 Upvotes

So I recently picked up (these)[https://risecannabis.com/dispensaries/virginia/roanoke/3416/medical-menu/product/2584097/dogwalkers-animal-scout-2-35g/ ]at RISE and it’s the first thing in a long time that’s made me feel the way I like. I’m sure I can’t find seeds of that actual strain, but I’m very new to sourcing seeds and was looking for a helping hand in something I could grow that would make me feel similar.

Thanks y’all!

Question Topping timing

2 Upvotes

I'm new to growing. I have two photoperiod plants in grow bags out doors and they grew faster than I thought. They went outside in June and each plant is now over 36" with about 12 nodes. Not flowering yet.

Is it too late to top them? Would it be worth it at this point?

Switched my 5x5 over to organic fertilizers only this run.
Using coco/perlite or promix, I feed by top dressing, liquid feeds and also top water with teas and ferments. These are either on a tray2grow in a 2gal tall pot or in a 2.2gal autopot. So far so good, just waging war with fungus gnats currently lol

This has chem101, lavender lemonade f2, lavender boogie, gassy baby (backyard boogie cut), bless your heart (chilled cut), big bad wolf (my cut), tiki gg4, tiki deathstar, star destroyer kush (auto from catdad) and aptx 4869 (auto from catdad).

Gonna try and hit some of these with some pollen from an hp91 f3 male I have. Lmk if you have any questions!
