I guess it's lonely out there at $7000 Ranch since the aorta exploded. Maybe you need a donkey.

I echo "Holy Mother's" view posted earlier that while I have no problem with the new freedoms we have in enjoying MJ, I am concerned about our young folks who may not have good supervision and guidance. "They" tell us young brains are altered and can be damaged by smoking the much stronger stuff than we enjoyed "back in the day".
That's also true of booze, cigarettes, sniffing glue, and many other things too, but this adds one more thing easier now to find and abuse.
"Teach your children well" Crosby, Stills and Nash told us. Boy howdy. It may Take A Village.

Well BBQ made a point and it was exactly what I was thinking. People who actually think that pot will NOW be available or as wonky said... easier now to find and abuse. because it's legal for 21 year olds are IMO indeed naive.

Clete's 1st Annual Southern Oregon Marijuana Harvest Report.
The annual harvest is over and the harvest hippies are returning to places like Wisconsin and Ohio. It was a great season with very little, if any, mold problems at Oregon's Sun Grown farms. Some of the migrant cannabis workers have found employment at trim camps, but there is less work than in previous years.
The popularity of wet and dry trim machines have reduced the need for hand trimmers. Still, machine trimmed can't compare to hand manicured marijuana and many dispensaries want only hand trimmed buds.
Newer strains like Candyland and Oregon Canna Frost were grown on a few farms and we will see if those strains become local favorites. However, many of the collectives and cooperatives were sticking with the tried and true popular strains like Jäger, Purple Mr. Nice, OG Kush, Blue Dream and Girl Scout Cookies. These strains have earned a dedicated following and can be found at local marijuana stores.
For all of you that are still Prohibitionists, consider this: No government has been able to totally eliminate an underground economy. It's nice to bring these businesses into the light. You can now own a marijuana business and be a law abiding citizen. Woohoo!

Reports I get is that, a large group of 'trimagrants' have come from abroad.
The growers are bringing in foreign workers, local trimmers aren't getting the work.

Yep. We need a wall around Oregon.

There is still a lot of trimming work available. You just have to know the right people. If you are fast and good at it you can make $150 per elbow.

No, you don't get hired unless you are competent, fast, and want to work as directed. It's the OLD American way.

Odd since pay is based on output, why would speed matter?

Scientists push for pot-pesticide testing before new Oregon rules

I always use lady bugs, diatomaceous earth, and praying mantids. Man made pesticides not needed.

Location, location, location
Evidently the plant life in my yard attracts insects, which attracts predator insects. In addition to our native ladybug beetles, I have asian ladybugs; they are those will multiple spots. One winter they made their way into the house, huddled in a triangular mass in the ceiling corner of my tub/shower. One day when it was time to leave, they were gone without my noticing their exit. To this day I wonder where they entered the house.

OH, I just wondered if you bought them. But really if you get an infestation of spider mites good luck with praying mantises or lady bugs saving your plant.

I used to hang those in my grow room, when I was a teenager.
