Doesn't make a lot of sense to me. Is it to try and stop weed and seeds from leaving the US? I've had customs in Canada open my package and see they are seeds and tape it back up and send it to me. I also had a clone order arrive from Cali in the last two months. Is this something recent they've been doing?
I don't know. I'll ask and get back on it. Customs also put in a new policy in July that no longer can tracked "documents" (Ie: order sheets with payment) can be sent through the postal system without filing a customs form. As you may know, last year they also stopped tracked packages from going down without a customs form. This was to sync it with the US system.

Not really sure y Canada would want to stop seeds shipping from the US or y someone in Canada would b worried... isn’t weed fully legal in Canada??
Partially. You can possess and smoke but you can't grow over four plants without permission or a med license or a rec license (which are usually given to people with friends in government, including many former politicians and even police chiefs). There are also regulations surrounding the sale of seeds and clones, which are silly and protectionist.

Nice. That gives me a bit of hope that they might eventually release them. They were only US$26 and I sent with regular mail (CAD $1.50) so it's not too big of a deal. But I did see some nice IG pics recently that made me want them NOW!

I thought so. I know customs is iffy about bringing live plants and fruit across borders, and even when going to places like Hawaii you have to declare that kind of stuff, but I don’t know why weed seeds going from a legal state to a legal country would be an issue. Customs might be extra wary of packets of seeds going across international borders because of that amazon scam stuff too. Plus the US Postal Service is having some issues.
Customs, both US and Canada, get very pissy if things are mislabeled. In fact, if you get a grumpy officer, they actually have the power to seize something just because it is mislabeled. Our special little packages are often mislabeled. For example, a well-known but shall remain nameless California seed bank always declares things related to computers.

Also, customs answers to federal law, not state law. So in the case of a legal US state, US customs does not recognize it. As for Canada, it is legal to import cannabis, as long as the proper paperwork is obtained. It is very difficult though because of protectionism. For example, there is a Jamaican company which has been trying to export to Canada for at least a year. So far, they have only successfully exported something like 10kg.

??? By what do you mean not even close?
I think what Snowack already said pretty much sums it up - in short, regulations around it are still too tight imo. My understanding is that legal states like Colorado have much more freedom around cannabis cultivation but I could be wrong. Maybe the new Covid economy will make the Canadian government relax things a bit more. A free market is always better than mismanaged government over-regulation.

Meh, its the same as booze, its legal but there are still laws in place. If I remember correctly California and other legal states also have plant count restrictions unless your medical. Same with buying has to come from a legit dispensary. Seed sales and clones sales are much better in the states thats for sure.

Its legal as in I can carry a bag on me and not get thrown in jail. I can smoke in allowable places and can tell a cop to go away. I can grow at home without getting busted. Thats good enough for me for now for legalization. It's going to take a few years before the govt figures stuff out and it improves.

Yeah my state has plant count limits. When we pass recreational (postponed because of covid) they’re not gonna allow just anyone to grow. Only medical patients who go through the licensing are allowed to grow, but it was easy to get approved. Until it’s federally legalized, fully industrialized, and incorporated into trade agreements it’s just gonna be patchy and complicated. Even then you’ll have states like Texas trying to pull stupid, petty shit like the smokable hemp ban.

Anyway these chem pies are looking awesome. This one is on day 35 and the other one is 5 days behind. Third one is outside. This pheno just smells like pure grapefruit. I got rid of most of my GPS phenos to make room for all the stuff I got from Cannarado, but I think this one is going to stick around for a while. All 3 of these chem pie phenos are stupid easy to clone. I bet they would root in a glass of tap water.

Fuckin spider mites are back in the flower tent. Did some damage to one of the bodegas in the form of massive leaf die off. I’m really glad we’ve got that cold front coming in tomorrow night. The bodegas are now finishing up outside, and the chem pies just got sprayed and they’re spending tomorrow night outside too. While the tent is empty it’s getting a thorough cleaning. Looks like I’m going to have to start pasteurizing my soil before I reuse it. I don’t know what else to do but this seems like the time to get them gone.

Nope. Does not look like spider mites. More like calcium spots or a mild potassium deficiency. Since it's a small plant I would guess calcium, but don't do anything unless it starts to spread to the new growth, as they usually grow out of it once transpiration increases.

Got damn the cowboy cookie sttrrrrrrech!! The tallest one is almost 5 feet and believe still growing it’ll be 2 weeks tomorrow. The other cc tall to like 4 foot,dawg lemons stretch is decent so far, hopefully they will finish stretching soon might run outta 5DB3DDCF-DF5B-401F-981C-AFF1111CB004.jpegF70AB9E7-B6BF-4EF4-9747-C6C62CDF4566.jpegC5DAECCA-E104-4B3B-9C84-F72B3DF58629.jpeg114A9FED-EFAB-4ACB-B254-04F8E03FC0D4.jpeg space!

Greenpoint definitely has a few stretchy strains. Mine are currently growing 2" every night. I'm also in early flower. Looks good. Keep it up. Should get yourself a nice yeild.

Outdoor Tomahawks from a few days ago.

I will say growing outside is not for the faint of heart. We just had a record-breaking 108 degree day in socal which the plants seemed to survive but no telling the effect on the buds. California is also on fire again. I get to watch my 5-month project in late flower with the backdrop of a red martian sun and a sky full of smoke and ash (bud wash anyone?). Next up we get Santa Ana winds which are sure to spur on the fires and will likely demonstrate my weak staking skills.. and this morning 2 hours picking off 50+ budworm eggs, and ripping apart two colas full of budworms. Mother nature takes her cut.

I don't know how well it works yet but I add Neem seed to my old soil before I reuse. I haven't had mites back yet but the verdict isn't in yet. It's been 18 months since my mite infestation and haven't seen any in that time frame. I use about 1 tablespoon per 1 gal of used soil, water, and let sit for a week before mixing in. I also top dress the plants with a tablespoon or two if their in 5 gal containers. So far, so good but the Borg is hard stop.
