      Tonight I was learning all about ISR & SAR, and geeking out with ChatGPT. At the end of the session, I asked Chat to write me an article about what we’ve learned. I think it came out good enough to share! I hope you all enjoy it 🙂 I CHALLENGE EACH OF YOU TO CONTINUE THE CONVERSATION. PASTE LINKS IN THE COMMENTS AND LETS KEEP LEARNING TOGETHER.

      and an

      – adaptive/acquired immune system (trained through contact with pathogens)

      Now I’m waiting for Scotty to chatGPT epigenetics and to tell Dude that his PM plants actually could have been an asset rather than a burden 🤣

      I’ve got the fancy AC Infinity heat mat and thermostat and it’s cool, but TBH for years I’ve just been plugging my heat mat into the outlet, and it seems to do fine without a thermostat.

            • My grow room is part of the garage and the air conditioners face the big car part of the garage and they keep it warm enough in there for them (the A/C’s) to keep running. It’s about 50° warmer in there than outside temperature. Even when it’s -30⁰ My air conditioners kick on. When it does get that cold I do have to add a little bit of heat… Read more

            • Have you ever had one of those days where you say “I need to smoke a joint” while smoking a joint? My friend in FL calls it an “attitude adjustment” LOL. When I’m having a tough day, the friend who I can always count on to pick me up while keeping it real… Is the one and only Dude. He’s always “calmer than you are” 🙂

                      Lost my mom 3 years ago and my best friend of over 30yrs in April, other than my Daughter, it’s everything here in the DGC. I was talking to a couple of the guys and I said, aside from the podcast and everything awesome going on if you guys realize a deeper part of what you and Dude bnr and Grambo created here.

                        • Decarb bud in a sealed mason jar in the oven. 40 min @ 240degrees. Allow to cool, then open jar and add coconut oil. Place jar in hot water bath for 4 hrs @ 185 degrees. (Crockpot, auto pot, double boiler etc.). Strain out the bud with cheese cloth or a metal tea strainer. Store in glass jars in the fridge or freezer. Use an online…

                          • I’ve been using the Levo II for about a year now and love it. Simple to use and I don’t have to pay much attention to it. I’ve been making both butter and coconut oil to make brownies, chocolate bars, and gummies. The machine decarbs for you at what ever temp and time you want then infuses at a different time and temp. I can run 7g or 14g…

                            • I decarb in my LEVO II. I can do up to 14g at a time, which is typically more than I ever need. I sometimes infuse into good butter (high quality, not that generic @#$%), but other times, I need to make tincture first. For that, I decarb 14g and put it in a small mason jar. Fill the rest of the way with 190 proof Everclear or similar. Keep in…

                              • lol I decarbed in a crock pot for 18-24 hours then separated the butter and bud in my juicer. Lost 1/4 cup of butter with this process but the butter was extra potent. lol my cousin that doesn’t smoke or consume much cannabis in general got so high he got sick and went to bed after eating one cookie and slept the entire next day away🤣
