I realised in recent times that my friends, whom I’ve befriended since secondary school, grew in different ways. They garnered influences beyond my own, and in a natural fashion became different people.
This happens sometimes, and it’s not anyone’s fault, however the people we both became (keeping in mind I most certainly have changed, over the years, in the same light) had a polarising effect on our friendships.

So I called it quits, however with the intention of finding new friends. Being with the same people, at least for me, prevented me from properly engaging in circles which would suit me better by today’s terms.
Honestly it didn’t take too long, I just dived into social situations where I would more likely find like-minded individuals. I’ve made a bunch of friends since, and we already get along better than the ones I no longer speak to now.

Surround yourself with things you yourself enjoy, within a social setting, and you’re more likely to be around people there for similar connections. You’d surely have a lot more to talk about too.
Don’t be too upset about people moving on in different ways though, people grow and some people grow apart. Make sure you continue to grow, is all.

I’ve done it a few times. Colours pop, some mood change, but overall it’s weak and not worth it. I didn’t get negative effects, it’s just a crap mushroom experience if you can get ahold of psilocybin mushrooms.

This is how I felt about it. Cranked the graphics up, thought it was beautifully made, yet overall the gameplay and execution felt generic. The combat becomes predictable and nothing special.

That’s the general consensus around my friend circles, over the years. It did spawn the short lived joke, “I’m so hungry I could eat a Findus” though.

People around me stopped buying Findus not because of the scandal, but because they just didn’t taste as good once they changed their recipe.
I can’t say if it was the horsemeat, but the ready meals tasted better before. I don’t know how to word this without sounding awkward.

It’s a bit nuanced with lights. You don’t want to overspend, however knowing some info for what to look at helps. Efficiency numbers are often exaggerated, however they give some idea of how the light is likely to perform however there’s not just one metric to look for. Things like PAR (including ePAR) intensity, alongside checking the differences in the spectrum and so on.
With LEDs you wouldn’t recommend blurple today, however going full spectrum gives options like using bar lights for a more consistent spread and such. An example being I wouldn’t go back to an LED light without a dimmer switch, as they really come in handy for controlling the light intensity at the top of an even canopy (as too much light in a home grow, without cO2, can harm the final product).

For optimal growth, it’s essential to try and maintain the right VPD, and for a lot of people it’s cumbersome to do this manually depending on where you are (environment wise), and so some systems aim to automatically assist in this by monitoring the temperature and humidity and adjusting the extractor fan accordingly.

It depends on your style for sure, but it can easily get justifiably expensive depending on how you’re growing. And that’s not even getting into hydroponics (which may require a chiller depending on where you are).

They said growing weed is cheap… It is fun though.
Beyond equipment, good genetics can cost a pretty penny or two.

Adolph’s cousin, who was a big proponent of raw fruit diets.
He hated juice.

Some years ago some medication I was on put me at risk for diabetes (not an issue now), and my Dr. at the time mentioned the benefit of fruit, however I never really asked them to elaborate.
Thanks for that explanation, it makes a lot of sense the way you’ve described the function. You learn something new everyday!

I’ve started using Dutch in 3 Months, by Hugo. Ignoring the timeframe the title gives, it seems decent because it has an app alongside it for hearing the pronunciations of each word, so you learn to speak and read essentially at the same time.

I got my book online.

Lately I’ve been a big fan of “bungalow”, to signify that someone has nothing upstairs.

Joker.

When your homies join in.

Would it be more correct to say you both become a Beef Wellington?

It’s quite satisfying. I grew a very colourful cultivar this time around, and I’m sampling it right now (Blood Diamonds 2.0).

Once you have things dialed in, environment wise, there is great benefit in being able to choose genetics (be wise to find reputable breeders however, and steer clear of white label seeds as well).
There are just so many flavours and variations people growing for an illegal market do not have the patience for. I mean I had to push these until 11 weeks in flower until they were ripe enough to chop! Well worth it though, and I recommend anyone in the position to try it to give growing a shot.

If you are not in a position to do it properly, it’s not worth doing over just buying weed.

It’s not just about yield, even if you’re comfortable with a very low yielding harvest, but your quality will suffer and the genetics will not reach their full potential without the right things.

The CFLs don’t have enough of a broad spectrum to support a lot of good growth, and you’ll end up with low quality results with a low yield. Not to mention any tent is likely to make some noise, from the extraction fan and a fan for circulating air around, and even with an extraction fan for good bud if you’re trimming outside of the tent it WILL stink up your house something fierce.
Not to mention your parents would get suspicious of the constant visits to your room, as your learning to maintain good VPD etc.

Airflow being important if you don’t want mold.

Anyone can grow weed, but it takes some effort to grow good weed. It would be wise to consider this once you have your own place to do so, it’s worth the wait and you can easily pull 3-4+ ounces per plant (in dry weight) under a 200w LED with the right gear, but the CFLs will be weaker and probably net you under an ounce in dry weight.

This is advice I’d agree with for London, UK as well.

I just look on Google Maps for big green areas near me. Yesterday my mate and I went to a park we haven’t properly been to in 20 or so years, and it’s now a nature reserve! Walked around for over two hours and it was lovely.

If the moon was made of cheese, which cheese variety would it be?

Samsung themselves admitted to their moon pictures being faked some time ago, which makes me consider the idea that these photos could also be faked in a manner you’re describing (especially with all the effort Google has been putting into their AI).

I’d love an X-Men film based on the proper comic book life of Lady Deathstrike, rather than the bastardisation we got in X-2.
However I can understand it would be far too gory.
