dryin and curing

i trim my plants before i chop em down find it easier to sit in a chair and trim away while they're still standing everyone has there way of doing things but the laws here in nevada from what i've read is they count your 3 flowered plants as any plant thats cut down and they also require that you leave the plant completelly in tackc while it dries and ur supposed to trim a lil here and there and once one plants gone at that point can you start another one i flower wow this deffinatelly isnt going to work for me i chop em down whole and dry them for a few days whole till the stems get dry enough to still bend without snapping but are still dry to the touch i then place them all in canning jars and cure this way if i were curing a 5lb or bigger one id dry them the same way but instead of using the jars to cure ill use tall kitchen bags a clean one of course and use it as the samething as the jar this way the moisture is whicked outta the bud and it cures nicely but if its stuff thats going to be sold i dont even cure it ive found by doing a 30 day cure for smoke your going to sell is a waste of time esspecially with the garbage that floats around vegas here these ppl here wouldnt know nothing about a cure they just smoke it lol and now im thinking ill probablly not smoke much of it myself beings i got a bubble now machine and 8 bubble bags on there way to me they arrived to sparks nevada which is reno this morning at 6 am so hope they make it by friday if not monday it is lol i got almost my whole freezer full of clippings and popcorn buds just awaiting that bad boy cant wait gotta killer deal on it 441 and some change and these guys here sell that hash for 40 a gram ive seriously thought about just making my whole crop hash but really is it worth it if someone could fill me in here thatd be great thank you

Where is that happening?

 

[Billy Burroughs]

from what i understand this kinda technology is very unreliable and very rarely used in climates as ours and yes they are using some technology to look for illegals it's not going to stop until our "friends" from the south turn america into a shit hole like mexico they've already gotta good start in vegas here i went to the dentist today and it happened to be in a strip mall and every store in the strip mall was all mexican lol even the mexicans version of rent a center awesome i did hear about them looking for illegals on the national news not yesterday but the day before but they mentioned nothing about busting ppl but like i said and this is information from my cousins mouth and he worked on all these types of systems anyways in desert climates it doesnt work well enough to pick up indoor grows if that were the case id have the cops knockin on my door every day seems the ghetto bird does laps around my neighborhood all the time well hope this ease's ur mind i am legal so i am not real worried about it take me to jail prison wahtever just another day and i can play pinochle with the best of em a lil 3 2 1 ya not my first time there either if the hammer falls on me and my lil ass medical op i'd just hang myself lol the only thing thats been found lately that i know of was the estimated what was it 700 million dollars worth of marijuana on the 18th of september not one word on the news about it not one thing in the paper it was the las vegas sun that finally 3 days later ran the story no wonder no one knows medical marijuana exist here it never gets any local media attention id love to meet that cock lick who's greasing that wheel for a swift kick to his nuts

So power company with no notice shows up and puts a smart powermeter on my powerbox,as well as all my neighbors in my cultasac. This was a few months ago no big deal. Last week my buddy was watching TV and power went out. He went outside and the power company was putting a smart meter on his place. He was the only one to have the smart powermeter put on there are 6 houses in his cultasac. Any desert dwellers have any knowledge on this?

 

[bluepeace]

What you all make me feel like a thread killer. APS SRP smart power meter boxes they can see to the minute what power is being used.

 

[unclefishstick]

I think we all went to check our boxes, and they can monitor your usage remotely anyhow.As long as you pay your bill on time most power companies couldn't care less what you do with the power.It's a business,they sell electricity,the meters are for more precise timing on peak load charges versus off hour charge.Electricity cost more during the day when everyone has the a/c cranked and most businesses are open,at night it cost a little less,take a close look at your bill sometime. If the cops are getting your usage records your pretty well screwed anyway,start listening for choppers at night.If your that worried,stop growing.

 

[bluepeace]

I'm not concerned as it's to damn hot to grow anything anyway, cooling off tho. The question is does the power company share records being as they are a private company? I'm not worried but my buddy is the only person with a smart meter in his 6 house cultasac, he's freaked out. He just told me he's moving because of it.

 

[unclefishstick]

they will share records,but the cops are supposed to have a warrant.as long as you stick to the 1000w per bedroom your usage isn't unusual by american standards.most of the people the electric companies catch are stealing power,not because the bill is huge,if you pay for it they are more than happy to sell it to you,it wouldn't be profitable for the power company to report paying customers,the operative word being paying.pay on time and they really don't care,make them send late notices and all bets are off,now you owe them,if your buddy is that worried than he should move,paranoia ruins buds and a good buzz.

 

[bluepeace]

He's moving looks like two weeks or so he hates the sherrif here. I'm sure everybody knows or has heard of Joe.

 

[Billy Burroughs]

i do know that the pie graph that breaks down your usage on what and where on your power bill are probablly some what of a geuss i wouldnt say they were totally accurate but they can typically tell what type of device your probablly running because of how many amps it draws every thing draws a certain amount of amps and id imagine this is how they come up with what was your iggest chunk of power typically used for and what not i dont have one of them kinda meters to say but i got this smart switch thing for my ac unit they power company can acess it and fuck with it i signed this thing to get it for free that allows them to do it once a month and is what they do is they start creeping up your ac on you until you end up u know hot and thinking wtf did the ac quit working anyways this new lil unit is like 300 bucks and saves a shit ton of money i can see it esspecialluy with the old style we had we had one of the original ones from the old days like the old school ones u see on the old ass trailers anyways id geuss these type of meters are probablly going to be the standard its really a fucked thing but we as americans have as i see it more less signed our rights away to the government this new world is going to be oh so much easier im kinda old school if it's not broke no need to fix it but im glad i got this bew ac controler its really saved us alot of money makes you alot more concious of how cool it really needs to be in your house because you can tell by the didital numbers alot more precise

i dont like this new world either but all these lil gadgetys that are oh so kool or such a status symbol boy things have lept light years right before the generation as to which i belonged lol what happened to morning cartoons and kids dissappearing all day out riding there bikes oh ya i know theres to many freaks like that sicko in california out there that the lovely state of nevada let go the world just seemed so much more like an innocent place back in the late 70's and 80's i want the innocence back i'd much rather my child grow up like that than some of the ways kids are being treated today

 

[Billy Burroughs]

and like the dr said if your a paying customer 100% legite they have no reason to report you and if your not legal why would they if they loose you they loose that money but ya if they're already getting copies of ur bills and what not ur already fucked hope your legal and if ur over get under and like i pointed out more of that innocence gone with this sketchy patriot act and what not mark my words things are changing kinda sucks for people like me where one particular state would love to find me its petty shit but they still wanna put me away for it for cashing a check everything on the check looked legit dood asked me hey if you cash this check for me ill give ya 500 dollars i was a sick heroin junky so i was like hell ya hand me the check ill cash that fucker i knew there was something shady going on but i didnt think it was anything that was all that much of an illegal thing really it isnt but because i got a prior burglary i got a mandatory minimun like 4 years straight how it is now because of these things that haunt me im a changed man now gotta child responsible clean and sober parent but shit happens and because of these tightenings of the bottleneck we as americans are going to suffer more than anyone make we worry what kinda world did i bring children too
