I can safely report from the front lines that good herb is everywhere...we used to hit spots of the country that had bunk weed…it seems like high grade has made its way to every town...people are taking their strains more seriously...and why not? The crime is the same whether you grow garbage or chronic...]]> http://hightimes.com/blog/ht_admin/2550?utm_source=rss_section_ Fri, 14 Dec 2007 12:54:25 -0500 http://hightimes.com/blog/ht_admin/2550?utm_source=rss_section_ HT Admin http://hightimes.com/blog/mikeg_ht/2510?utm_source=rss_section_ Fri, 23 Nov 2007 15:33:46 -0500 http://hightimes.com/blog/mikeg_ht/2510?utm_source=rss_section_ mikeg_ht It's the day after Opening Ceremonies of the 20th Annual Cannabis Cup and day two of judging sativas from seed companies who enter with the hopes of winning the elusive prize of bragging rights and seed sales. We were presented with over twenty jars to test with fake names randomly assigned from the tarot in order to keep the judging blind and untainted. It's a tough job, but we're slogging through, smoking joint after joint along with vapor hits and bong hits to determine the tastiest and strongest weed. In between, some fruits and snacks cleanse the pallet before we move on to the next variety of pot. Sativas typically make you giddy and the spirit of the celebrity judges is off the hook. The presence of legendary hip-hop artist Redman has significantly enlivened the mood as well. Redman, also known as Doc or the Funk Doctor Spock is known as every rapper's favorite rapper and alot of that has to do with his skills on and off the mic. He's entertaining as ever and taking his judging duties very seriously and testing each and every jar knowing how much is riding on the decision. Redman also knows his weed, that's for sure. Stephen and Ina May Gaskin are participating and providing the perspective of years of wisdom and weed. The stories being told in the judging chamber are amazing and I'm honored and humbled to even be in the room. Is it hard to judge the high while you're already high? Sure, but the stuff that shines through is always worth a second or third look over and we're smoking at a steady and purposeful clip. The narrowing-down process proceeds. There are so many great strains on the table and it's hard to say anything bad about almost all of them. Do you choose the one that's the strongest or the one that most represents a pure sativa? After that it's on to seed company indicas and after that the import and dutch made hash. Tonight is the party at the Melkweg with Honkeytonk Homeslice and Moe. I'll be back later with more hits from the blog...]]> http://hightimes.com/blog/ht_admin/150?utm_source=rss_section_ Mon, 19 Nov 2007 14:27:19 -0500 http://hightimes.com/blog/ht_admin/150?utm_source=rss_section_ HT Admin http://hightimes.com/blog/mikeg_ht/2498?utm_source=rss_section_ Fri, 16 Nov 2007 16:18:45 -0500 http://hightimes.com/blog/mikeg_ht/2498?utm_source=rss_section_ mikeg_ht

Okay, so HIGH TIMES' Jorge Cervantes Ultimate Grow DVD's may have higher production values that this little gem, and actually teach you how to grow weed, step by step, but damn, our cameras have never been to a place with an escape tunnel...]]> http://hightimes.com/blog/bean/3142?utm_source=rss_section_ Wed, 19 Sep 2007 16:12:51 -0400 http://hightimes.com/blog/bean/3142?utm_source=rss_section_ Bean Greetings Amigos!



Just a heads up that starting next week, High Times Cultivation experts Danny Danko and Nico Escondido will be exploring Canada's west side with excursions around British Columbia and Vancouver Island.



Danko & Nico will venture out on the islands to uncover the secrets of B.C.'s fabled outdoor grow operations, checking out this year's newest strains and the yields for the 2007 Fall harvests.



While out there the boys will visit with breeders from seed banks such as Greenlife Seeds and Vancouver Island Seed Company to see the latest indoor technologies in use and deliver indoor grow tips on hydroponic set-ups as well as breeding techniques up North.



Be sure to tune in for regular updates via diary blogs from our Cultivation gurus as they go guerrilla to bring you more of what you need for growing your own dank herb!



Until then, stay well ~

Either way, former child star Mary-Kate Olsen has taken a star turn on the show this season, as a lover of the Lord who also enjoys Lord Shiva. Check it out, and let us know what you think of the show in the comments.]]> http://hightimes.com/blog/bean/3139?utm_source=rss_section_ Tue, 18 Sep 2007 12:22:00 -0400 http://hightimes.com/blog/bean/3139?utm_source=rss_section_ Bean
