Mendocino Producers Guild Farmers Market 2022

 

Presenting an Old World Market for New World opportunity

By Traci Pellar/ Nikki Lastreto

Greetings from the Mendocino Producers Guild!

Welcome to our vibrant community! We are a dedicated group of producers who are passionate not only about what we grow but how we grow. We have a commitment to quality goods and a new world idea about how we do commerce! Our goals are to support not only the consumer but the producer as well, a planet-friendly dynamic to sustain us all. We really are better together. It starts with that, not being afraid to have a mindset that is willing to work with others and watch others succeed with you. Being tribal is in our DNA. It has been around a lot longer than a corporate mindset. We are calling in the old ways to help us curate answers to our current challenges. By supporting each other, by taking as little as needed from the resource pool, and by listening and opening our hearts and minds to amazing possibilities, we all thrive. We invite you personally to see the beauty of these small and mighty farmers and producers, along with local food and music at our spring and summer markets.

We at the Guild pride ourselves on quality products grown and produced here in Mendocino County. This is a very special place: home to more wildlife species than any other county in California, including the Legacy Cannabis Farmer. Our goal is to prevent habitat and farmers alike from becoming extinct. We grow with our hearts and dream with our souls. We respect our lands and waters as well as support our local communities and economy. This is our ethos.

MPG represents a myriad of various producers committed to the same integrity of product and practices. Whether it be cheese, wool, crafts, or cannabis, the purity of intention is always there. We are committed to sustainability not only in our own backyards but our culture of crafted fine products as well.

Thinking ahead to the spring/summer of 2022, we invite you to come and experience the old-world feel of a free market in the heart of the Emerald Triangle. The venue is located right off Hwy 101 in a little Legacy town called Laytonville, nestled in black oaks and golden meadows. Below are the dates of upcoming markets:

April 23, 2022

May 28, 2022

June 25, 2022

July 30, 2022.

Along with cannabis and other products for sale, we are happy to announce that in 2022 we will have on-site cannabis consumption possible. Families and Visitors can shop for local products, including cannabis, various foods, arts, and textiles, in a fun country setting where they can meet the farmers in person. Expect excellent prices as this will be direct to consumer sales.

Come enjoy some down-home goodness and know that every dollar you spend is going right into the pocket of the producers. We look forward to meeting you and sharing the wonders of finely crafted treasures from our amazing small farmers.

Here are some of the cannabis farms that will be featured at our markets:

And over 15 more! All our farmers are under 10K ft with a limit to 2 gardens per farm, in alignment with our current Mendocino Ordinance. These cannafarmers plus over 30 other craft producers will be ready to share their wares and stories at these Live Markets.

Why are local Small Farmer’s Markets important to the planet?

When we think of problems in our world, a lot of them can be traced to greed. A person or corporation wanting it all, never having enough, or doing only “what’s good for business.” When you have a small farm/producer mentality, it’s about doing what’s best for your family, for your land, for your community, and wanting to serve the good of all. Somehow the small producers understand that quality can only be achieved through a commitment to the world around us. Small or micro is synonymous with craft. We believe that if we all lived a little simpler, with less, we could live with a higher standard of quality and a more symbiotic relationship with our whole planet. That is the richest gift we have, life, sustainable and thriving life.

Cheers, The MPG Peeps Stay tuned to mendocinoproducersguild.org about upcoming details as the dates draw near! You can also write to us at mendopg@gmail.com.

10% of any profit from the market goes to 10 Mile Creek Watershed Council

Noteworthy Items In The 2021 Canadian Cannabis Survey

Canada was not the first country to legalize cannabis for adult use. That title goes to Uruguay, which legalized cannabis for adult use five years before Canada did the same. However, Canada was the first G-7 nation to legalize cannabis for recreational purposes and implemented the most robust, regulated adult-use industry on earth. As such, there is much for the world to learn from Canada’s cannabis policy experiences.

Since 2017, Canada’s government has conducted an annual cannabis survey. The report is very insightful because Canada legalized cannabis for adult use in 2018. The purpose of the survey is to examine “patterns of use, such as the quantities of cannabis consumed and the use of cannabis for medical purposes; the cannabis market, such as sources of cannabis and pricing; and issues of public safety, such as impaired driving.”

What Were Some Big Takeaways From The Survey?

Survey participants were specifically asked about how they felt regarding access to “trustworthy information” about the potential health risks of cannabis. A significant majority (73%) reported ‘somewhat’ or ‘strongly agreeing that they had such access. That was a decrease from the prior year (2020), in which 77% of survey participants expressed similar views. Twenty-five percent of people reported using cannabis in the past 12 months, a decrease from the previous year (27%).

Unfortunately, it appears that government efforts to educate consumers are failing. A new question was added to this year’s survey regarding whether or not consumers have seen the government’s ‘cannabis consumer information sheet.’ Only 10% of this year’s survey respondents indicated that they had seen the sheet online, displayed at a dispensary, or had it provided to them at the time of making a purchase.

The survey asked participants if they had cultivated cannabis within the last year, to which 6% of respondents answered in the affirmative. Seven percent of respondents indicated that they had made their own edibles within the last year. The survey indicated that there is still quite a bit of stigma regarding cannabis use compared to alcohol, with 89% of survey participants indicating that it was socially acceptable to consume alcohol occasionally, whereas only 67% felt the same regarding occasional cannabis smoking. By comparison, only 49% thought it was socially acceptable to smoke tobacco occasionally.

The Canadian Experiment

As of right now, there are only three countries that are nearly universally accepted by the international cannabis community as having legalized cannabis for adult use—Canada and Uruguay, of course, and Malta, which recently signed legalization legislation into law. Out of the three countries, Canada has the largest population by far. Canada is home to roughly 38 million people, whereas Uruguay and Malta have combined populations of only roughly 4 million people.

In addition to having a much larger population, Canada also has a much more robust legalization model, at least from an industry standpoint. Malta will not have any regulated adult-use sales, and Uruguay has historically limited adult-use purchases to residents only. Compare that to Canada, where anyone of legal age can purchase online or at storefront retailers.

It’s likely a safe bet that as more countries legalize cannabis, especially larger countries, they will implement cannabis industry rules and regulations more in line with Canada’s approach versus the approaches taken by Uruguay and Malta. As such, any data and observations that come out of Canada in the coming years will be extremely valuable to international policymakers and regulators, and Canada’s annual cannabis survey will be at the forefront of that highly-anticipated information.

MILF Revs Rave: Red Russian Skunk

Greetings Skunkers, today’s article is an MILF (marijuana I’d love to find) with a fairly in-depth profile of the Red Russian Skunk. KOS will be releasing this one in January 2022 and it’s really a breeder’s playground of fantastic old school expressions. There are for sure real Skunk, real funk, and real Piney gems in here. Let’s get into it…

The Fast Red Russian Skunk Deets

VARIETY NAME: Red Russian Skunk

The Red Russian Skunk Acquisition

Young Red Russian Skunk Female

In 2013 I drove down to The Emerald Cup from my home along the Southern Oregon Coast. Some months before that time I had been in contact with an old growing buddy from my Northern Cali days. He had agreed to make me a trade. Some of his inbred Skunk seeds for some of my rare-ish seeds. Now I know this guy from about 40 years ago, we weren’t close buddies, but we moved in the same circles and knew each other. Part of our agreement was that I don’t release any of the seeds I make from inbreeding them, commercially. I have kept my word. Recently, he told me it was alright to do so, and here we are.

Right up front I need to say that my experience with the Skunk also goes back 40-ish years, so my memories of details about her are not uber crisp, LoL. I also know my old buddy was a notorious back-crosser and liked plucking out recessives via backcrossing. He said he hadn’t backcrossed these, but I wonder a little bit about that, heh heh.

I don’t recall the Red Russian (Skunk) having any sweetness to her at all, but some of these do have a sweet side. I do recall the piney, and the dank body odor variants well. Some variants here in these do have a sweet side in the background. He may have outcrossed these, but I tend to trust him, and he says he did not.

Description Details

When Red Russian/Skunk first popped up in Northern California I was in those parts on a seasonal basis. It was called ‘Red Russian’ originally. As I understand it, she was created by some breeders growing her adjacent to the Russian River. Quickly, as her uber skunk smelling clones were grown outdoors around N. Cali (Humboldt/Mendo) she became known as Skunk, duh. Within that genotype’s (RR Skunk’s) terpene range has always been a very Piney type, and a serious sour/acrid Body Oder type along with a few Skunk types.

From 20 females I have grown from the original seeds I received, I have gotten 2 legit Roadkill type Skunk females. When I made these F2’s I used a single piney male—easy choice—and three different females. For the fems I used one Roadkill, one Piney, and one (barf me out) sour, acrid body-odor/funky-feet variant. However, I used 2 clones of the Roadkill female, and single clones of the other two. I have learned inbreeding to pure Roadkill doesn’t result in mostly Roadkill offspring.

The Roadkill variant tends to favor the classic Christmas Tree morphology somewhat. It sometimes seems to grow slower overall than her siblings, but not to fear, she likes to build big roots and big buds. There are spot on Roadkill Skunk terpenes/smells, no ifs ands or buts. Extra frosty as well. Back in the early 80’s this Roadkill Skunk was also fairly mold resistant. I have not tested this thoroughly regarding mold yet, but my breeder plants (from original seeds I received) endured some fairly high humidity during flowering and showed no issues with any of the plants. However, any long IBL line (especially if BX’d), is normally not very mold resistant when it comes to outdoors in humid environments; like coastal.

Red Russian Skunk Buds O Plenty

Growing Information

GROWER: The Rev

She is a dream to grow, easy-peasy man. Most variants can be a lot like goldfish in a bowl and will grow into their operating environment; regarding container size, water/food availability, and light intensity. I wouldn’t grow this outdoors along the coast unless in a greenhouse with humidity control; I wouldn’t grow any long IBL outdoors coastal without a greenhouse in fact.

Visit Kingdom Organic Seeds – True Living Organically Grown and grab some good beans for your garden and grab some Skunk in Jan. 2022. Here’s another article by yours truly to check out if you want to: Letters to Rev – Organic Cannabis Growing Styles – Skunk Magazine.

Red Russian Skunk Breeders’ Info

The body-odor/funky-feet variants are strangely addictive—it’s hard to explain, you just have to try a couple and see what I mean LoL. It’s almost cat-pissy in its acrid/sour nature, very close. Whenever I let peeps smell this BO type variant, they always say “woah” and look at me like WTF? With a look kind of like they just ate a bad sunflower seed.

The Piney type can be a bit sweeter or Pine-Sol ish, the Piney girls are truly mind blowing in potency, maybe the most potent, but their yields are always quite a bit less (15% less or so overall). As a whole most of the females yield very well, yielding pretty classic Skunk looking buds. The Skunky and BO variants are most common. The Roadkill Skunk and Piney variants are less common, but still pretty good at about 1:5 females or so.

The Roadkill Skunk terpenes arise, in my experience, when the piney and the acrid body odor terpenes exist in certain ratios in the plant. Most of your females are killers no matter what. There are some (1 or 2 females out of 10 females) that have a little less resin production and will be less smelly, but still all good females, just good ass kickers, but most females are at least serious ass kickers. Remember that uber-potency thang is a free-ranging expression within various morphologies; however, the Christmas Tree morphology is almost always (75% ish) uber potent and stinky; no matter what the terpene profile.

Afterword Smoking with Rev

Rev Immediately After Vaping a Thin Dobbie’s Worth of Red Russian Skunk

The “classic” Hammer of the God’s cannabis strain here. The Red Russian Skunk delivers an indica dominant uber potent thumping, with the long legs (length of effects) of heirloom sativa. Heavy and hard for several hours with a smooth slow come down. Very debilitating and not a good idea when competence or brain power is required—no math—LoL. Excellent for rainy days at home or exploring nature. Exceptional for simple artistic creativity, but again, overall competence is lowered, so complexity can be problematic.

Things like baked bike riding around a park or something is an awesome idea. However, riding in traffic, or mountain biking could end up badly due to that lack of attention, as you will be distracted easily. In light doses, say a couple hits for me, it is very cool to be social and go out and eat and/or have a couple beers. If you blaze say, a doobie, you—if you’re like me—won’t lean towards social activities.

Pretty powerful munchies, and good hardcore red eye are the norm here with Red Russian Skunk. She has an added kind of electric side, no doubt from the SEA 18-week flowering Haze that was one of the original P1s as I understand it. They are all uniformly similar when it comes to effects/high, with the exception of some that are more electric than others. Morphology differs a bit with regard to axial pattern growth, and this is the main reason I suspect a little BXing went down, heh heh. L8r G8rs…

CBD Lip Balm Whats Up With That?

A comprehensive skin care routine should never ignore the lips. Moisturizing the lips can keep them from getting dry, flaky, or chapped, and there are tons of lip balm products out there designed specifically to target dry lips.

But while many of these products incorporate a number of natural ingredients, they often only provide temporary relief from chapping. Targeting the underlying issue of chapping and flaking may require something more effective, and the addition of cannabidiol (CBD) to lip balms may help. But what benefit can CBD bring to the table when added to lip balms?

Here are a few reasons why CBD is becoming an increasingly popular addition to lip balm, and why you should keep an eye out for the compound when buying your next lip product.

 

Protects Against UV Rays

It’s always a good idea to apply a little sunscreen to your face before you spend an extended period of time outdoors, and your lips shouldn’t be excluded. Your lips have less melanin — the pigment that protects your skin from sunburn — than the rest of your body.

Lip balm with CBD infused in it can help protect your lips against the potential damage from the sun’s rays thanks to the compound’s antioxidant properties. [1]

 

Moisturizes the Lips

It’s easy for the lips to dry out because of the lack of oil produced, unlike the skin on your face. That’s because the lips don’t have any oil glands.

In order to keep your lips moist, you’ll need to apply some sort of product, and choosing one that includes CBD may help to hydrate your lips and lock in the moisture. That’s exactly what a lip balm should do, and CBD may help enhance its moisturizing effects.

 

Alleviates Redness and Burning

When your lips are dry, you might be more likely to lick them in an effort to hydrate them. But the more you do that, the more you risk drying out your lips. Thanks to CBD’s anti-inflammatory properties, it may help to reduce redness, burning, and tingling when they’re inflamed. [2]

If you’re in the market to get yourself some lip balm, consider finding one with CBD on the list of ingredients.

Can CBD Businesses Finally Bank Safe?

When the 2018 Farm Bill passed both houses of Congress and became federal law, many thought that hemp-derived CBD businesses were in the clear to take advantage of all of the necessary services that other legitimate businesses have always had as financial options – lending, business banking, payment processing, and the security of federal insurance. Despite what the initial public view was at that time, many legitimate CBD-related businesses are still having difficulty procuring such services due to many banks still seeing the industry as “high-risk”.

Although hemp-derived CBD farmers across the nation continue to grow plants that are according to the Farm Bill “less than 0.03% tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) in order to be distributed legally”, the individual states these farmers, producers, or businesses reside in can still determine their own statutes. That means that state and local banks have to be extremely careful to abide by their state’s Controlled Substance Act (CSA) to ensure that they themselves are not going to be put out of business for illegal activity by being involved with businesses that are transacting in what could still unfortunately and incorrectly be considered controlled substances.

These facts are coupled with federal prohibition of THC- containing cannabis itself – something of which lends itself to a misunderstood distinction between cultivating hemp plants for CBD and cannabis plants for THC. This is another example of creating a “risk” of running afoul of federal regulations or to ultimately be accused of a money laundering or illegal interstate commerce.

The good news is that hundreds of banks across the country do offer financial services to fully-compliant CBD businesses because they don’t really see an issue in establishing a relationship with a business that sells or advertises a product that has been federally legalized. According to a June 2021 real-time market data analysis by FINCANN via the Bank Branch Locator Database, “there are 212 fully-compliant and industry-friendly banks working with cannabis/CBD industry purveyors – which is roughly 4% of all national and local banks in the entire U.S.” With yet another passage of the Safe and Fair Enforcement (SAFE) Banking Act in the U. S. House of Representatives the long-shot hope is that in 2022, a largely divided U.S. Senate can see the greater good in providing federal protection to banks and financial institutions who provide much-needed services to cannabis, hemp, and ancillary related

Five Succinct Questions With Kevin Brooks CEO Conception Nurseries

Five Succinct Questions With Kevin Brooks – CEO, Conception Nurseries

 Please tell me about yourself. Why cannabis instead of a traditional job? What did you do before you entered the cannabis industry?

About myself, I’d have to start by saying I question everything. Though I started my career in Silicon Valley, which has been coined as the ‘great disruptor,’ after over a decade in the rat race (and a few successful exits), it became clear that I absolutely hated everything about tech. The thought of flying across the country to meet another CTO to sell them some widget to help make their widget run slightly faster was mind-numbing and would eventually lead me to a slow and miserable death.

 I realized it was time for a drastic reset, and I refocused, recognizing many of my lifelong friends participated in the legacy cannabis market. I admired how many hats they wore — and that the ‘risk mitigation’ they managed daily had actual consequences outside of a spreadsheet. That lit a fire and inspired me to walk away from a company and industry that I helped build and parlay my skills into this rapidly changing arena.

 I’ve always had a relationship with the plant and, at the time, was excited about all the progress the industry was making (Colorado had just passed adult use, Oregon and Washington were right behind). I looked to make my first (legal) investment in the space and met up with some guys I knew from school who, at the time, had a couple of dispensaries and a small grow. That meeting changed my life and resulted in me taking a role as CEO of a company that turned into one of the most well-known premium brands in cannabis – and the first brand to scale retail across the state. 

Where are you from? Where were you when you first tried cannabis? What were you doing? Do you remember who you were with? 

I’m originally from San Diego but grew up mostly with my younger brother and dad (who still drives his 68 VW Bus) in Long Beach. You can’t be from a beach community and not have a love for good weed. It’s one of those things that’s hard to understand if you haven’t lived in a beach community, but it’s ingrained in the culture and way of life. The first time I smoked cannabis, I was just a kid running around in the back alleys of Belmont Shores, 2nd street. The crew I hung out with at that time were all original Long Beach kids who lived on beaches, docks, and LB streets. Funny enough, my first suspension in high school was over a High Times magazine (we didn’t have Skunk in the mid-90s) during the designated ‘sustained silent reading’ period. When they called my dad, he was just happy I was reading, regardless of what it was. Having gone to the same high schools as Snoop and Sublime (although I was several years younger) deeply influenced the music we listened to and the weed we smoked. At the time, we smoked whatever we could get our hands on. That said, when we came across Chronic or White Widow, it was a big deal.

Please tell me about your company? What do you do better (at least more agile) than your peers in weed? What are your six and twelve-month goals?

Let me preface with a brief history of why I started Conception Nurseries. During my time as CEO at my last company in the space, there wasn’t a single instance I can recall where our cultivation team hit our pro forma numbers. Digging in deep to solve this, I recognized potentially one or more company-ending problems were directly traced back to challenges with our mom rooms. Besides being a tremendous cost center (specialty equipment and nutrients, low-return real estate), they were riddled with massive risk (most pests and pathogens start with the mom room) and limited a grower’s ability to scale up/down to meet consumer demands.  

 We launched Conception with the idea that 100% gen zero tissue culture clones will outperform clones from traditional nurseries and ultimately considerably de-risk grows. Our goal has always been to provide a better plant with the highest level of customer service at a price point that clearly demonstrates a favorable ROI. Tissue culture as a business is not new. It’s been utilized in traditional agriculture for over six decades — if you enjoy juicy red strawberries year-round from your local store, know that tissue culture made that possible. We refer to our TrueClonesTM as ‘Gen Zero’ — in that the originating plant’s cells are carefully cleaned in a lab and become the basis for the healthy plantlets. We have rigorous testing assays in our facility to make sure we are consistently testing for any variable mother nature may throw at us. There are no moms or outside plant materials in our facility. What this means is that to the best of our knowledge, we are the only group in cannabis that can guarantee our plants are pest and disease-free. 

In terms of growth, we currently operate in California and Oregon. Over the next 6 to 12 months, we expect to continue introducing new genetics from top breeders, offering additional plant cleaning services, providing long-term storage options, and expanding our footprint across the US. 

What kind of food is your favorite when you are enjoying cannabis? Do you have a favorite restaurant in the world? What is it/where?

Photo: Conception Nurseries

I spent six wild years in Chico, California, and had some of the most unforgettable 2 a.m. burritos at Taco De Acapulco (unfortunately, they are no longer around). Today, I’m a little more health-conscious and try to stay away from eating a week’s worth of calories in a single meal. Several years ago, I got involved in a brewery/restaurant called Out of Bounds Craft Kitchen and Biergarten. Whenever I’m in the Folsom area, I have to have the Brie Burger. There is something about the apple, fig jam, brie, and a short rib burger that is irresistible. 

 What is your passion?

I’m an entrepreneur at heart and have incredible respect for questioning any iteration of the status quo. If I’m not hanging with my family, I’m shoulder to shoulder with my customers and team working to understand where the market is headed. More than anything, I love being with the team and in the field with our customers – solving problems and making things as easy as possible in a complicated space. Despite all the hurdles, roadblocks, and challenges this industry throws at us, it’s great to see how we all adapt and pivot, grit over quit. My passion is for all it, the good, the bad, and the ugly (except 280e, f-that 280e).

CBD and Parkinsons Disease

Parkinson’s disease is a ravaging illness that affects approximately one percent of the adult population over 60 years old. Although much advancement has been made in the area of treatment, the disease remains without a cure. Fortunately, there are ways to manage the symptoms and help prevent Parkinson’s disease, and cannabidiol (CBD) may prove to be an important medicine in both of these efforts.

Parkinson’s disease causes problems with the areas of the brain the manufacture dopamine, which is a chemical necessary for directed motion. Because of these problems, individuals suffering from the disease have motor skills issues, such as tremors, and they also suffer from severe muscle stiffness and have trouble maintaining their balance.

Research on CBD as a treatment for Parkinson’s disease is limited, but there are studies. One demonstrates that CBD can be useful in helping delay symptoms from appearing when used early on in the disease’s development. In other words, CBD may be useful in a preventative fashion or during early onset of Parkinson’s to help keep symptoms at bay.

Additionally, CBD has been shown to aid in the sleep disorder caused by Parkinson’s disease known as REM Sleep Behavior Disorder (RBD). One study demonstrated that four patients in the study who were suffering from Parkinson’s-disease induced RBD found relief from the RBD through the use of CBD.[1]

CBD has also been shown to help alleviate some of the symptoms of psychosis sometimes brought on by Parkinson’s disease. In a study out of Brazil, researchers from the University of São Paulo in Brazil gave patients CBD for four weeks, after which they reported a decrease in the symptoms of psychosis.[2] That said, other more-current studies have shown little effectiveness in using CBD in this context.

Until further studies are carried out, there will be confusion and anecdotal evidence to guide the use of CBD in the treatment of Parkinson’s disease. What we can be sure of is that in some cases, CBD can help Parkinson’s sufferers. However, we just don’t know how, exactly… yet.

For the 2022 competition, Emerald Cup consists of over 40 judged categories (a full list below) –  a full-spectrum of cannabis including flowers, concentrates, edibles, topicals, and more – with nine brand new classifications for the upcoming awards including Sungrown Greenhouse, Pre Roll – Infused – Solventless Extract, Pre Roll – Infused – Solvent Extract, Solventless Rosin Cartridge, Edible – Gummies, Edible – Beverage Enhancer, Hemp Derived Ingestible, Most Innovative Product – Consumable, and Most Innovative Product – Industry Asset.

The Emerald Cup Competition & Awards offers a transparent and trusted chance for California’s best cultivators, extractors, movers, shakers, and cool-product-makers to put their best head-to-head against the rest. The 18th annual cannabis competition is a constantly evolving entity. For this next edition, significant changes have been addressed based on advancements in testing and the competition is always fine-tuning their approach to the judging criteria.

All winners will be announced by the organization at a formal ceremony in Los Angeles in springtime with an accompanying virtual broadcast. The recognition from peers and consumers alike that comes along with an Emerald Cup achievement can be transformational for a brand as it highlights their commitment to the culture by crafting clean cannabis. The California cannabis market is stronger when united and the 2022 Emerald Cup Awards will bridge the gap between the NorCal and SoCal markets, providing more opportunities for farmers and brands and new options for consumers.

“The Harvest Ball was the official start of the Emerald Cup competition,” reveals founder and executive producer Tim Blake. “Over the next 6 weeks, contestants can submit their entries. I feel like a kid at Christmas waiting to see all the latest flowers and products from the best of the best our community has to offer up. I’m never disappointed. Our Emerald Cup Awards ceremony will be a stellar moment for all the contestants. We’ll broadcast the ceremony across the United States and to a global audience and rock LA with the finest cannabis flowers and products in the world.”The Emerald Cup Competition & Awards would not be possible without the generous support of SC Labs (www.sclabs.com), the Emerald Cup’s 12-year testing partner, who last year debuted new terpene data technology into the judging process (more information available here). An innovation that allows for a greater understanding and appreciation for the diversity and range of cannabis chemistry and chemotypes. Through SC Labs’ sorting process, judges rate similar terpene profiles against each other to choose the “best-of-class’ winner for each, much like how wines are judged in similar events.

How Does Legalization In Malta Compare To Other Legalization Models?

Last week lawmakers in Malta passed an adult-use cannabis legalization measure, and Malta’s president promptly signed it into law by the end of the week. Passage of the law resulted in Malta being touted as ‘the first’ country in Europe to legalize cannabis for adult use. While there is some debate within the cannabis community regarding whether Malta’s new law is truly adult-use legalization, the measure’s passage is no doubt significant.

Malta’s new law does not create a regulated cannabis industry with legal sales, which is the main point of contention among some members of the global cannabis community. However, many argue that Malta’s new cannabis law is actually better because it does not include regulated sales. Not having a regulated system helps mitigate any potential industry inequities.

Assuming that Malta’s law constitutes actual legalization, which I certainly feel that it does, the European country is only the third nation to pass a legalization measure.

How Does Malta’s Law Compare To Others?

Uruguay was the first nation on earth to pass an adult-use legalization measure back in 2013. The landmark public policy change brought about various ways that people of legal age could legally acquire cannabis. Most notably, legal purchases are allowed in Uruguay via pharmacies. Uruguay also allows non-profit clubs, which will also be allowed in Malta. However, Uruguay differs from Malta in that Malta will not allow regulated sales to occur at all.

Canada became the second country to legalize cannabis for adult use back in 2018. Canada’s legalization model is the most robust of the three from an industry standpoint. Anyone of legal age (18-19 years old depending on the jurisdiction) can make legal retail purchases of cannabis from storefronts as well as online in Canada.

Other limited forms of legalization exist within the global community, including the European continent. Italy’s Supreme Court previously ruled that home cultivation of cannabis was legal; low-THC cannabis products are currently legal to purchase nationwide in Switzerland. Countries like the Netherlands have adult-use legalization ‘pilot programs’ in certain jurisdictions. With that being said, Malta’s law is still the first of its kind ever to be passed on the European continent.

Local Examples In The United States

Whenever someone lobs up the claim that Malta’s new cannabis law is not ‘true legalization,’ I am always quick to offer up two examples from the United States as comparators. In 2018, Vermont became the first state in the U.S. to pass an adult-use legalization measure via legislative action. All legalization measures passed in the United States came via the initiative process versus the legislative process until that point.

Vermont’s legalization model was distinct in that while it allowed for personal possession, cultivation, and use, it did not allow regulated adult-use sales. It was a first-of-its-kind model in the United States at the state level. At the time of passage, it was overwhelmingly accepted within the cannabis community that Vermont’s model was indeed ‘true legalization’ even if the law wasn’t perfect.

Another example can be found in Washington, D.C., where voters passed a legalization initiative in 2014. Much like Vermont four years later, D.C.’s legalization model did not include legalized sales, albeit in more of a roundabout manner. D.C. cannot allow legalized sales without Congress’ approval, and being that Congress’ cannabis reform ‘efforts’ move like molasses, regulated sales are still not allowed in D.C. Yet, despite that fact, it is generally accepted that D.C.’s legalization model still constitutes ‘true legalization.’

Malta’s legalization law may not be perfect in the eyes of some cannabis community members. However, it’s still a historic public policy shift. It will likely open the floodgates to legalization measures being passed throughout Europe and beyond. Also, Malta will always be able to carry the title of being the first in Europe to pass a legalization measure, and that will always be a cause for celebration.

Letters to Rev Transplanting Cannabis in Living Soil

Transplanting cannabis in living soil is a lot like transplanting in most mediums. Special attention to air exposure is always important, because all the growing related life you are interested in breathes air; roots and microlife.

Living Soil Produces the Best Possible Connoisseur Quality Cannabis

Transplanting, along with cloning, and germinating cannabis are all skills that make growing better and easier to do consistently well. If your skills are weak in any of those three, I strongly suggest you upgrade your skillset. Trust me, once you do have all three of those skills you won’t be able to imagine how you managed before that! Heh heh.

Generally speaking, whenever you have a transplanting issue, it’s normally from “feeding” them, or a sudden lack of air exposure to the roots that are adapted to have a lot of air exposure. Never use anything from a bottle on your fresh transplants, no tonics or B-vitamins, etc. Just good, dechlorinated groundwater is perfect.

Alright then earthlings, let’s rock and/or roll with today’s “Letters” to Rev…

Transplanting Cannabis in Living Soil Question #1: Why Are My Aero-Clones Hurting in Soil?

FROM: Tommie, Vista, CA

“Hey Rev, I recently got an aero cloner like you use, and I followed your advice with no complaints there, it works great. My problem is whenever I transplant them into their 7-inch (about half gallon containers), about 2/3rds of them die, fast and ugly, as you say. TLO living soil all the way, and I use dechlorinated 55 PPM water, no liquid anything from bottles. Can you help me out here?”

Rev’s Answer to Q1

Ocean Forest Soil by Fox Farm Works Great for Bare Root Clones

Hey dude, this is likely an easy fix, so no worries. First, I would highly advise you to go from bare-root aero-clones into something more like a 3-inch pot. I would also highly advise you to use a mellow soil (quality bagged soil) when you transplant these clones into soil their first time. TLO soil is a bit potent for this job. Lastly, add some perlite to this soil, like a 15% to 20% cut, or so. This will totally fix you, and here’s why…

Your problem is likely not a hardening-off type problem but consider this if applicable. Your problem is that these aero roots are all adapted to a wet, highly oxygenated environment. When you put them into soil, you drastically reduce their exposure to air, and they basically “choke” to various degrees. Along with my recommendations above, use proper containers that allow max aeration and no CO₂ lockup. See this article for more info on CO₂ lockup: Growing Containers II – Skunk Magazine. Also, never compact the soil in these containers, like at all.

By ‘mellow soil’ above for example, for this I use bagged ocean forest soil/TLO soil/perlite/earthworm castings. But it can be as simple as 4-parts Ocean Forest soil, mixed with 1-part TLO soil, with some added perlite, and you are all good. Ocean Forest, or any G&B potting soil with added perlite are fine as well.

Transplanting Cannabis in Living Soil Question #2: Containers to Outdoor?

FROM: Greg, Del Mar, CA

“Last year I had a huge problem when I transplanted my awesome healthy 12-inch clones to their raised beds, almost all of them looked like they were going to die for a time, and they suffered hard for about 30 days before they started actually growing well again. I lost a lot of VALUABLE growing time while they recovered. It wasn’t hardening off or soil shock, my soils are all time tested and not too powerful or anything. I also mix some of my indoor soil with the outdoor soil for transplant fill-in soil. I want to avoid this problem in 2022, please help Rev! Thank you.”

Rev’s Answer to Q2

A lot like my answer to the question above, again here, your problem is likely (highly) to be a problem of aeration x roots. Coming out of a container, there is high aeration on all sides, top and bottom. In the ground (raised beds too) there is only high-ish air exposure on top—ya see? So, all the roots in the container, around all sides, top and bottom, have grown/adapted to a high air exposed environment. These roots don’t operate very well suddenly choked off from air exposure; as they are, when suddenly placed into the ground.

Transplanting Cannabis in Living Soil Using the Elevated Root Ball Technique

Here’s your fix my green friend: Simply leave about 1.5- to 2-inches of the root ball up above the soil level you are transplanting into. Use bark mulch to even things up—chunky or shredded, I like chunky myself. This keeps some of the existing roots at full power using the high exposure to air. Try it and you’ll see the difference. This dynamic also applies to container-to-container transplants as well (as in photo above).

Transplanting Cannabis in Living Soil Question #3: When to Transplant New Sprouts?

FROM: Mad Saxman, Lordsburg, NM

“I was wondering if there’s a best time to transplant new sprouts? I’m indoors and I think maybe I have been transplanting them too soon and have had some bad outcomes recently that I can’t figure out. They’re fine and dandy until the transplant, then they wilt and die.”

About the Third Set of True Leaves is When I Transplant into These 3-Inch Containers

Rev’s Answer to Q3

Well amigo, given the limited info, I would first say read question #1 above regarding root x air exposure. Air circulation and air exchange are both also essential here for consistent success. I trust you aren’t using any humidity domes; they are all bad. 100% humidity with limited or no air exchange is always bad when growing cannabis. There is also that hardening off thing as well. If you sprout under weaker lighting, then transplant them and place them under intense lighting—that’s bad. They need to be eased into way more intense lighting over a couple days or so.

Two other big issues I see when peeps have this problem are, feeding them and soil compaction. Do not fertilize your plants with any liquids for 2 weeks after any transplant, no B vitamins or anything else. I never use these things, ever, but to each their own. Also, don’t compact your soil in the new containers after transplant at all. Don’t use wet soil as your transplanting fill soil. It should be slightly moist. Just water the plant about 2 hours before transplanting, and don’t water the new container for at least a day (24 hours).

What I like to do is put all my 3-inch pots with new plants in them on a tray, then I keep about ½ inch-high water level in that tray. This keeps the plants very unstressed and kicking ass 100%.

Rev’s Best Tip for Transplanting Cannabis in Living Soil

This Style of Container (Plant Warrior) Makes Transplanting Perfect

In the photo above you see the bottom of one of my favorite growing containers, the Plant Warrior by Grow Pro. That little inverted net-pot floor is the bomber for aeration regarding freshly transplanted plants. You see, the root-ball is in the same shape as the container, so as long as you are transplanting from Plant Warrior to Plant Warrior container, the root-ball just fits right down onto the new inverted section. This gives your plants great aeration to the roots right where they are used to getting great aeration, surrounding that inverted net-pot section. I have these pots in 1-, 2-, 3-, and 5-gallon sizes.

That’s a wrap for today my esteemed homeskillets. I’ll be back for another article next Tuesday right here at SKUNK. In the meantime, maybe go have a look over at Kingdom Organic Seeds for some kickass exotic cannabis seeds to start your next garden with.
