    How Seed Companies Alter Bud Shots

    I know I'm a skeptical fuck but a lot of people are manipulated into buying seeds from companies who use Photoshop _extensively_ to manipulate bud shots. All of the bud shots and photos I have posted on my website and here on RIU have been unmanipulated in Photoshop, other than adjusting...

    Xenforo Update?

    Have noticed a bit of forum weirdness the last couple days and I don't know whether it is a Chrome/Android update for me or a Xenforo update for you all, but every time I try to select the link icon to put a link in a forum message, it flashes for a brief second and then disappears. No way to...

    Confident Enough To Post Your Failures?

    Beginning to start a new journal article for the website, was looking over archived pics, when I realized just how often I screw up. In a previous article I wrote, "Show me a grower who has never had a bad harvest and I’ll show you a grower who has never accomplished anything extraordinary.", so...

    Any old geezer photographers around?

    First camera I got around 1970 was a Miranda F. Around 1980, upgraded to a Nikon FTN, which is where I stayed until around 2000-2002, when my wife got me a Nikon 4300 digital. That same year I got her the original Canon Digital Rebel and we stayed with those two until this year. Used the 4300...

    How Did You Get Your Nym

    Anyone want to explain how they came up with the nym they use here on RIU? How long have you used it, do people in other forums have the nym you use here, etc. I got my nym from a 1990 movie called Pump Up The Volume. A character played by Christian Slater sets up a pirate radio station and...

    Can You Tell The Difference Between Dispensary Cannabis And Your Own?

    I've only bought commercial cannabis once, ever. Took a trip to Denver after it became legal and got some Green Crack, GSC, something called Golden Goat, and some DP. I was still vaping BHO at that time, so my tolerance was very high, so to speak. After hearing all the hype about GSC and GC, I...

    Cannabis vs. Covid - Cannabis Won

    As a RRT, trust me, this is a definitive study. First long term, peer reviewed investigation to study the relationship. Cannabis smokers did better during the Covid outbreak than non cannabis users: Cannabis vs. Covid CONCLUSIONS: Marijuana smokers had better outcomes and mortality compared...

    Spirit - Mechanical World

    Down a rabbit hole and remembered this, did a RIU search and can't believe this hasn't been posted here before. I'm sure if there's any long-term lurkers here, they'll correct me but this is a tune old time heads will remember, at least I stilI do... for the time being :cool: :

    How I used to be

    Around 5 years ago, I was almost positive I had HPV induced throat cancer. Freaking out and with my medical background, I knew I was going to be encased in a sarcophagus made of lead while I got radiation treatments. Luckily, that was not the case. But during that time frame, I made the...

    The Best Breeder You've Never Heard Of

    A video showed up on my YouTube feed and when I saw the name Captain Jack, I just about freaked out. It's enough to drag me out of lurk mode. I had recently read the book Thirty Nine Years of Short Term Memory Loss by Tom Davis. He's half of the comedy duo Franken and Davis, a writer on...

    When Did Spider Farmer Stop Using Meanwell Drivers?

    Have been a very satisfied customer for over 3 years now with multiple SF2000 and SF4000 lights that are still running strong. Upgraded my 4X4 tent to a 5X5, so I ordered another SF2000, this time a "Pro" version. Didn't even do normal due diligence for this purchase, just got another one since...

    Heaven, Hell, and the Devil aren't real, but God is?

    Bet that subject title got your attention? A recent series of events occurred that has given me quite a bit of contentment and inner peace. I’m going to try and relate what happened to me but just like relating dreams to someone else, it’s probably not going to make a lot of sense or be as...

    Can you post a RIU username in a title?

    Not sure this is going to be allowed, so I thought I'd ask here first. I've been doing a lot of research on the cannabis known as Northern Lights. There is a RIU nym here who seems to be posting a whole lot of different posts that seem to be marketing Northern Lights for Authentic Genetics. I...

    Educate the dinosaur on Matt Riot

    I'm doing research on people using NL Seattle Greg to sell their seeds and have absolutely no idea who Matt Riot is, other than watching that podcast he did with, I gotta shorten this, NLSG. I'm well versed in the use of Google and the search function here on RIU but I'm ass deep researching...

    How Do You Sativa People Do It In A 4X4?

    Let me guess, you recline the seats, right? :p First off, I'm not requesting assistance and don't need advice, the title is rhetorical. I've grown 97 Sensi's Jack Herer in a 2X5 closet and had to LST the shit out of them to keep 'em from hitting the 1 kw M/H Sunmaster Warm Deluxe, but it's been...

    Post your oldest plant pic

    I know there's a bunch of you old fucks like me around, so let's see the oldest plant picture ya got. This is from 1978, before Ron and Nancy declared war on us, developed and printed at a Fotomat. The guy at the window says, "Nice plants, could I do that?" As you can tell, Type IV Hybrids were...

    Sunni, will you let this thread stay live?

    I'm going to put the first three posts that I did on RIU on my sig tag. The third post you may find problematic, as it may encourage a Troll fest and I don't want that anymore than you do. I know thread deletion happens here occasionally, so I don't want to go to the trouble of making the sig...

    ATTN: Trollenator

    I posted something in another thread about Usenet a week or two ago and you responded. I was busy as hell, only had time to briefly scan your response, didn't even notice your RIU user name and the thread was subsequently deleted. Quite ironic because I think I posted something to the effect of...

    Which Ones Would You Choose?

    About 4 years ago, after 20+ years of IBL'ing, I reverse engineered Sensi's Northern Lights back go it original constituents, a Type I Sativa (Hawaiian/Thai), a Type II Indica (stinky Afghani) and a Type IV Hybrid. See here: Geezer Reverse Engineers NL In the interim, I've not only isolated...

    This Is How I Treated PM

    Summertime in the S. E. U.S., with basement tents, where the temps are 80+ and the RH is about the same, have become a problem for me with PM and botrytis. I've found using potassium bicarb has not only helped with PM but botrytis as well. Here's a bud from back in the tent that responded well...
