Cannabis growers? My buds are burning up and I don’t know why. What do you think ? Soil ph was very low which I have amended to correct. Growing in Foxfarm Ocean Forest using Foxfarm 3-bottle according to the label. It’s been 90deg here every day for a week.

Russia gave Trump the presidency and Trump is using his position as president to give Russia the sovereign country of Ukraine. It's a corrupt and disgusting deal that betrays America, democracy, and decency.

Japanese Yakitori demands that the whole bird be broken down into 10 distinct, precise cuts including both meat and offal cuts. Dating back to the early Edo period, the Honesuki is the ultimate refinement of a tool designed to that purpose. SOLD Alma Knife Co 🧶 🍽️ 🔪🔪🔪 #culinarysky
