I was TODAY YEARS OLD when I found out that SONIC'S SCHOOLHOUSE was a REAL GAME and I saw that it looked similar to Baldi's Basics so I looked it up and found out that SONIC'S SCHOOLHOUSE WAS THE MAIN INSPIRATION FOR BALDI'S BASICS

top 10 plot twists was normal not being super emo about hermie this episode

[bitch-spectrum]

1. Non-binary Hermaphrodite. Also call myself a "hermy" and a "tranny"

2. They/Them to most but they/he/she to some.

3. Take 1 -13. Take 2 - 16. Stopped "coming out" after that because I realized that my parents would never respect my identity and that I could just tell my actual friends and family about changing labels without it being a whole "coming out" ordeal

4. "Being a transmed is cringe and a phase. You'll grow out of it."

5. That were all "in between" the binary.

6. Demi Lovato

7. By saying "Fuck it. The world can guess."

8. Not that I can think of.

9. TONS

10. Not that I can think of.

11. Queer Community or LGBT+

12. "It means what the name implies. Not binary. Not male or female. That's all that means." Because non-binary means something different to every non-binary person.

13. My face is red from facepaint (it's Nov 1)

14. One of my bfs was like "You look like a Michaelangelo. I could call you Mica for short" and u was like "WOOOOOAAAAAAHHHHH!!!!"

15. "Okay. Anyway so..." And then the rest of my partners came after I came out.

16. Whatevers confuses outsiders most.

17. Literally do not worry about sticking to a label. Labels are just self applied words. I encourage literally everyone to play with their gender a little bit. And hey if you turn out to be cis who cares? It's nbd. Experiment with gender labels and expression like it's makeup.

18. The rainbow flags, the queer flag with black at the top and bottom, the orange and green hermy flag, the red black and blue poly flag that isn't saturated, and the yellow white purple and black nb flag.

19. Tomorrow is another day. If your dysphoria is bad one day just cover up, do something that affirms your gender/presentation, and tough it out until tomorrow. You'll make it.

20. Nah

21. Whatevers funniest. Whatever I'm feeling the occasion calls for.

22. It changes from day to day.

My dear lgbt+ kids, 

Since over 400 of you agreed that it’s Nonbinary November, I decided to do something fun for my nonbinary kids and came up with this: 

22 Questions for Nonbinary November! 

1.Which labels do you use?

2.What are your pronouns?

3.How old were you when you came out to yourself as nonbinary?

4.What’s one thing you’d like to tell your younger self?

5.Is there a myth about nonbinary people that annoys you the most?

6.Is there a nonbinary celebrity you look up to?

7.If you’re out, how did you come out?

8.Is there a gender-related pun you like? 

9.Do you have friends who identify as nonbinary, too?

10.Do you have a favorite lgbt+ character?

11. Lgbt, lgbt+, lgbtqa+… which one do you usually use?

12. How do you explain the term “nonbinary” to people who have no idea what it means?

13.Tell us a fun fact about yourself (gender-related or random!) 

14.How did you find your name? 

15.If you’re in a relationship, how did your partner react to your coming-out?

16.Do you prefer partner, datemate, significant other or something else?

17.A piece of advice for questioning kids?

18.Which flag(s) do you use?

19.Any tips for bad days?

20.Do you have a favorite nonbinary blog on tumblr?

21.Feminine, masculine, androgynous - or none of those things?

22. What are your three favorite things about yourself?

If you’re on the nonbinary spectrum, you can copy those and answer them on your blog (and tag me!).You can do all at once or one a day. Feel free to skip any questions you don’t want to answer. 

I hope this will be a fun way for nonbinary people to share their stories and a way for others to learn more about the nonbinary community! <3 

With all my love, 

Your Tumblr Dad

Ok expanding on this because I can! Warning that under the read more is about 6 short paragraphs of text, so read more with caution.

1) Probably the most optimistic answer. In this hypothetical, Hermie's performance roll was for something else (lying, quoting something from the joker, etc.) and he failed. Both this and the following scenario have about the same amount of evidence, Hermie's a theatre kid and his whole will-they-won't-they makes it pretty much impossible to tell whether or not his confession was genuine. (Especially because every single roll to determine his motive was either failed or left ambiguous anyway). 2) What a lot of people consider the most realistic answer. In this scenario, Hermie's performance roll was to lie, and he passed it. Admittedly, I'm not a huge fan of this being true, but I do want to point out that arguments deeming it impossible based entirely off of the fact that it was performance are a bit silly, he's a thespian and it's dndads. Why would they adhere to the rules for this? Regardless, it's completely possible, just very, very sad. 3) Now it's getting interesting! Everyone has already pointed out that this death came out of fucking nowhere, and I agree. Interestingly, he suddenly dropped dead just when both of the primary healers were unable to heal! Normal was knocked into death saves, and Link had already used his entire lay on hands pool to heal Normal prior. In this scenario, (either due to a sudden hasty decision to kill Hermie off or just to fuck with the players) no matter what the roll had been, Hermie would have said the same thing, and it would have been left ambiguous whether he meant it or not. My reasoning for this unfortunately banks almost entirely on forces outside of the canon (I.E, Anthony just wanting Hermie dead and gone, which is admittedly a little bad faith of me to assume) So I'll leave it at that and instead propose scenario 4: 4) Maybe Hermie's roll wasn't for what he was going to say at all! In this hypothetical, Hermie would have rolled around a 10-15, as the death was overall pretty underwhelming. A 0 may have looked like him being unable to get any words out, and a 20 may have looked like Hermie giving an extremely over the top romantic confession. Alternatively going back to Scenario 1, a 20 may have looked like a quote, or an otherwise melodramatic display of dying. This is the outcome I find the most amusing and thus the one I'm going with. 5) This one's just genuinely a conspiracy theory from me, but hear me out! We know Scam has mimicked people before, and we know Hermie is a 3 year old creation of his. How easy would it have been for Scam to replace Hermie during their visit to the goofs realm? Pretty fucking easy... I don't really buy this one but I do find it entertaining. If Hermie's corpse turns into Scam I will probably explode. 6) BONUS!! RAHHH RAHH!! Alternatively and finally, Hermie's performance roll may have been to fake his death. I... don't buy this one, and genuinely sort of hope it doesn't happen. dndads has a track record of bringing back NPCs and PCs alike (for better or for worse) and I am afraid of what will happen if they bring Hermie back, either on purpose or VIA death-faking. It sucks that he died, and especially sucks that the crew will probably forget him for the last time in the near future, but I'd rather that then his return and untimely butchering. Anthony please leave our boy alone. Annnnd that about wraps it up! I have a lot of thoughts about Hermie and this was a fun opportunity to ramble about some of 'em. I hope in the next episode they try to send him a message and it bounces back, just to pour salt in the wound.

DNP Rewatch: How NOT to meet Emma Watson

Date video was published: 07/26/2014 (X)

DNP Main Channel Rewatch: 234

This is the first video Phil had actually filmed in about a month, since both his previous videos, Phil the Lion vs. Dan the Dinosaur! - WATER RACE and Eating Play-Doh! (with Phil & Jim), were filmed way ahead of when they were posted.

0:05 - again with the extremely bright pajama pants.

0:10 - would you not wear...shorts? lol. Or I guess if you’re Phil you just put your pants in the fridge. Sure.

0:24 - what even is that noise and face.

0:34 - fringe pushed back!

0:41 - his enthusiasm for fridge-pajamas was much more than the “it took my breath away” here

0:53 - Phil tweeted about this when it happened in mid-July (1, 2). I’m laughing that the conversation he overheard was about granola, hahaha

1:01 - living in a small-ish town it is so weird to me that people can just randomly see celebrities on the street

1:08 - awwww, “Hermy-one.” The amount of confusion over how to pronounce her name until the movies came out was too real.

1:17 - so things not-to-do if you see DNP in the wild I suppose?

1:36 - you would think he would have some comfort with speaking to celebrities at this point after the radio show, but I guess it’s very different when you have a chance to prepare

1:41 - “a useless flappy wet mouth tail” ...sure. 

1:49 - this wink went surprisingly well for Phil! although I’m not sure it was necessary 😳

1:57 - Phil tweeted about the storm getting his Furby wet. He still has it to this day though, even in the forever home background.

2:17 - I love that he equates buying antiques with being “mature” 😂

2:19 - it’s the start of the props chest!

2:33 - I wonder if this story is real or something the antique shop does to sell things...

2:57 - the random stuff just on the top layer there. Wow.

3:00 - well that was under Dan’s bed at one point in I’M A MESS

3:17 - a zine! Phil tweeted about this.

3:40 - draw-Phil-naked always seems like more of an afterthought by this point

This is just a casual Phil story-time video. Nothing particularly memorable about this one, other than the origin of the props box!

Here’s my all-time movie pitch

Recall, if you will, the craze of Shakespeare’s plays as modern films (10 things I hate about you, she’s the man, etc). Now recall the drama and trauma Fleetwood Mac endured when recording Rumors, their greatest record and rightfully on most Top 100 lists since its release, making it a mine of inspiration both musically and theatrically, and making it the catalyst for my greatest idea of all time.

Enter, A Midsummer Night’s Dream.

An obviously talented but foundering rock group is in the studio, trying to recapture the moderate commercial success of their first album. Helen and Hermione (British?) are sisters, Hermy is a vocalist while Helen provides vocals, guitar, and keyboard. Larry (this is set in the 90s it’s fine), plays bass and vocals - he’s really dumb but hot. Demetrius (he goes by his last name, help me) plays drums and is basically adult teen douchbag but secretly has a heart (?).

Their record label is full of strife as well, co-owners and lovers OB and Tatianna have been trying to adopt a child for a long time, and the stress combined with their troublesome young stars has pushed them to over-the-top pranks.

Sideplot about some aging rockstars who book the studio after our four-piece, led by lead singer Nick Bottom (but really led by drummer Peter Quince (yup I’m just stealing the names outright at this point)).

And who could forget about Robin, the young prodigy hired by the studio to fill in on miscellaneous instruments, from rhythm guitar to trumpet to harp. What kind of trouble is this green-eyes waif up to?

Coming this summer, you won’t want to miss, The Show Must Go On (title very open to critique).

'You have to just love it'

New Post has been published on https://tattlepress.com/sports/you-have-to-just-love-it/

'You have to just love it'

Jazz Chisholm knows that baseball is difficult, that there remains a significant gulf he must cross to match his significant talent and overwhelming charisma to his production.

Right now, this is who Jazz is: A rookie infielder for the Miami Marlins whose stat line says his production is just above league average, but his swag suggests he’s anything but.

This is who Jazz could be: A dynamic, powerful, five-tool force, whose desire to disrupt the game could vault him atop the short list of burgeoning baseball stars with ever-elusive crossover appeal.

This is how he plans to get there: By sacrificing nothing – certainly not the vicious bat speed from his swing that ensures the home runs he does hit go very, very far. And certainly not the exuberance that vaulted him from the Bahamas to the big leagues, endearing him to fans and perhaps enabling him to join some of his athletic heroes – Kobe, LeBron, KD – as a wonder known only by one name.

And what’s the tune Jazz lives by?

“To this day,” he says, “I just always try to tell kids to be themselves. Don’t let nobody change you. You go out there and play the way you want to go play.

“That’s why I always do the crazy hair colors, I do my dances and I just have fun out there because I just want everybody to know, it’s OK to have fun on the baseball field.

“You know?”

If you don’t, you probably will soon.

Jazz Chisholm looks on before a game against the Braves.

Mark Brown, Getty Images

‘Why not bring it into the game?’

Perhaps you found out on Opening Day, when Chisholm fulfilled a promise made to Marlins ace Sandy Alcantara. Chisholm, whose hair changes color with the ease of South Florida weather patterns, was planning a platinum blonde look.

Yet as spring training wound down and Chisholm – who debuted on Sept. 1 in the pandemic-shortened 2020 – had a shot to make his first Opening Day roster, Alcantara had a suggestion.

Make the team, he said, and you dye your hair blue.

“I said, ‘I got you,’” Chisholm recalls. “It was history from there.”

Chisholm came through, breaking camp with the squad and showing up for the opener with a tone resembling a Louie-Bloo Raspberry Otter Pop.

Perhaps you noticed a couple weeks later, when Chisholm hit his second home run of the season, a towering shot off Atlanta’s Charlie Morton, and then, befitting his significant basketball skills, debuted a euro step as he crossed home plate.

Contrived?

Nope. Just a part of his personality, reflexive as a fist bump or handshake.

“I will walk around the clubhouse euro-stepping on people,” he says. “I’ll be in front of someone and last second, I’ll give ‘em a euro, you know, like, ‘Get out of the way.’ It’s something I do all day, every day.

“So why not bring it into the game? Why not misdirect it going into home, and then step on it?”

Chisholm has nine homers and 10 steals in 51 games.

Jasen Vinlove, USA TODAY Sports

It’s not like Chisholm is pimping home runs that scraped the top of the wall.

He is the only player this season to go deep on pitches of at least 100 mph, doing it first off the great Jacob deGrom on April 18 and then the Phillies’ Jose Alvarado a month later. He is, in fact, the only player with two such homers since pitch-tracking began in 2008.

Listed at 5-11 and 184 pounds, Chisholm – full name Jasrado Hermis Arrington Chisholm – seemingly manifested his skills by watching his grandmother play softball.

Yeah, Grandma could turn on one.

“The small person with the pop? Yeah, I think I got that from her, too,” he says.

Patricia Coakley, now 77, played on the Bahamian national softball team, and played the sport long enough for Jazz to see her compete both in slow- and fastpitch formats. He saw himself in her, from the aforementioned quick bat to the tenacious baserunning approach to her play at shortstop.

And so when Chisholm was barely old enough to hold a bat, he called dibs on the position, fully intending to never leave.

“I just loved seeing her play shortstop. I fell in love with watching her, too,” he says. “It was always like that from when I was probably 4 and 5 – just run straight to shortstop.

“Grandma’s a shortstop, I’m a shortstop.”

 Clearly, he picked an excellent role model, though there weren’t many others locally. Just eight players from the Bahamas preceded Chisholm to the majors, with infielder Andre Rodgers – who played from 1967 to ’77 – the only one to hold down anything resembling a full-time role. Antoan Richardson was the most recent, serving largely as a pinch runner from 2011 to 2014, and he’s now a coach for the San Francisco Giants.

Young Jazz focused on his grandmother’s exploits and fixated on televised games featuring Ken Griffey Jr., Barry Bonds and Derek Jeter.

And was convinced he’d play on their level.

“I always told myself that I was going to be a big leaguer, from a very young age,” he says. “It was not really tough believing I was going to be a big leaguer.”

Chisholm played plenty of ball stateside as a child, often in Miami, and attended a prep school in Kansas for a spell, eventually signing with Arizona as an international free agent. While he’s sanguine about his own rise, he’s humbled when he ponders his impact back home.

“Every time I go to the Bahamas I see a little kid telling me, ‘Hey, you made me start playing baseball,’” he says. “It makes me smile nonstop when I hear that.”

They have a dynamic hero to follow, even if he’s an unfinished product. Chisholm is on pace to hit 20 home runs and steal 20 bases this season; he clubbed his ninth home run of the season Thursday night in a loss to the Washington Nationals, pushing his batting average to .258 and his OPS to .766.

With just 276 plate appearances behind him, Chisholm has room to grow. That makes him a good match for Miami, which acquired him from Arizona for pitcher Zac Gallen in 2019. “I love the people out here,” he says. “This is just the life that I feel like I was here to live. My kind of place.”

Chisholm celebrates a home run against the Mets.

Andy Marlin, USA TODAY Sports

Fresh fish

The Marlins are 31-43 and lagging in the NL East, a pitching-centric club with a lineup that looks emaciated even within this season’s historically grim league environment.

Yet for a franchise dogged for decades by ham-handed ownership, they have a decidedly fresh feel.

They have a quietly beautiful ballpark still not yet a decade old, yet new owner Bruce Sherman bears none of the blame for bamboozling the city into a hideously bad stadium deal. In Jeter they have a CEO with star power but also patience, and the forward-thinking mentality to hire the first woman as a major league GM, the highly-regarded Kim Ng.

Alcantara and rookie lefty Trevor Rogers are worthy aces, with the injured Sixto Sanchez also capable of holding that role. At Class AA Jacksonville, pitching prospects Max Meyer and Edward Cabrera join outfielder J.J. Bleday, all consensus top 100 prospects nearing the big leagues.  

In Miami, Chisholm defers to veterans such as Jesus Aguilar and Miguel Rojas, who when healthy nudges Chisholm to second base. From a baseball standpoint, Chisholm says he goes to great lengths not to “get cocky with the veterans.”

Yet they share a desire to keep things loose, from the clubhouse to the kicks; Rojas has long used social media to amplify his shoe game, while Chisholm has donned footwear celebrating concepts as disparate as Miami Vice and Oreo cookies.

Earlier this week, he debuted a gold chain that commemorated a remarkable leaping catch against the Tampa Bay Rays.

“The Miami Marlins’ whole roster right now – you look at what they’re wearing on their feet, even down to the coaches sometimes, it’s just straight heat, I’m not going to lie,” says Chisholm. “Everybody is just into that stuff – having the swag, having fun on the field.”

 It all may seem a bit excessive for a second-division club, yet the Marlins also made the playoffs in 2020 and swept the Chicago Cubs out of them. Manager Don Mattingly says the veteran tone set by the likes of Aguilar and Rojas “helps your club create an atmosphere that guys like playing in.” He is confident Chisholm will develop greater consistency both in routine and performance, calling his development arc “pretty normal” for a first-year player.

As for Chisholm, he’s prepared for the roller-coaster the game provides. His homer Thursday broke a 15-day streak without a dinger, a period filled with too many weak ground balls. It is a hallmark of the game he chose that he might go days without making an impact, when instead of euro stepping over the plate he’s making an abrupt right turn back to the dugout.

He cannot control his fate in a manner that LeBron can or Kobe could, and if he’s given just one pitch to turn and burn on, he may very well miss it.

Chisholm knows this well and chooses not to dwell on it. Like the island kid who just knew he’d be a big leaguer some day, Chisholm may be right when he believes this game will reward his undying love for it.

“It’s not frustrating,” he says of failure, “because you know how hard the game is. It’s just like, ‘Man, I’m just praying I get another one. Give me another one.’ It’s not really like, ‘Man, I missed my only chance.’ No, because you still got two more strikes to play with. And you might get the worst swing of your life off, but it can be a hit.

“This game can really mess with your mind – because you could be hitting the ball as hard as you want every day and not get a hit. And then you can go break four bats in one day and have four hits. That’s why you have to just love it. Because even though it takes away, it gives back.

“And it gives back big.”

How to shorten the cycle of cannabis from seedling to harvest?

Cannabis passes through a series of stages in its life. The most important of these are the germination, seedling, growth and flowering stages. Each stage brings its own challenges. Novice growers need to be aware of these, to be sure of giving their plants the attention and care that they deserve in a marijuana grow tent.

How long does it take to grow a marijuana plant?

Generally speaking, it takes anywhere from 14-32 weeks, or about 4-8 months, to grow a weed plant.

The biggest variability in how long a marijuana plant takes to grow will happen in the vegetative cycle—if you’re growing indoors, you can force it to flower after only a few weeks when it is small, or after several weeks when it is big. If you’re growing outdoors, you’re at the whim of the seasons and will have to wait until fall to harvest. The plant will develop buds in the last 8-11 weeks.

The life cycle of cannabis can be broken down into four primary stages from seed to harvest:

Germination (5-10 days)

Seedling (2-3 weeks)

Vegetative (3-16 weeks)

Flowering (8-11 weeks)

1. Germinating Seeds

To effectively germinate, you must ensure that seeds are mature enough. If your seeds are immature they will likely not germinate.

If your seeds have reached maturity they will appear shiny & light to dark brown & will be dry & hard to the touch.

If your seeds are underdeveloped they will feel soft & appear white or green.

To germinate, keep your seed in a wet, dark place. Some growers may keep it in a cup of water or wrapped in a wet paper towel & set inside of a cabinet.

Exposing seeds to light & moisture stimulates hormones & gives the growth process a boost.

A single root, called the radicle, will shoot downwards as the new stem grows upwards pushing the seed out of the soil.

Unlike common marijuana leaves, two rounded cotyledon leaves will sprout from the stem as the plant breaks away from the seed's protective casing.

These cotyledon leaves gather energy from sunlight so that the plant can become stable & grow bigger. Once the roots develop, the first true leaves grow & the plant is not in its seedling stage.

2. Seedling Stage

The seedling growth stage is fragile & plants must receive 18-24 hours of sunlight, moist soil, & mild humidity to grow rapidly. All growers know that a full spectrum LED grow light is best for plant growth.

Because the seedling has such a small root system, it's important to not drown it by overwatering.

Once a plant becomes a seedling, it will develop more traditional-looking cannabis leaves.

A marijuana leaf is made up of anywhere between 3 to 13 fingers. The leaves produced from a sprout will appear with only one rigged finger. With new growth, marijuana leaves will develop more fingers. Mature marijuana plants will typically have between 5 & 7 fingers per leaf but can reach up to 13.

The first fingered leaves can grow up to 4 inches above cotyledon leaves & will have the notorious serrated edges. This set of leaves grow in pairs on opposite sides of the stem.

Cannabis plants are treated as seedlings until they develop leaves with a full number of fingers.

Healthy seedlings should be short with thick vegetation & their leaves should appear vibrant green in color.

During this stage, growing environments must be kept clean & free of excess moisture to ensure the plant does not become diseased or moldy.

3. Vegetative Growth

Once a seedling develops 7 sets of pointed leaves, it enters vegetative growth.

After being relocated to a larger pot, the growth of a cannabis plant soars. It's stem become thicker & grows taller, it produces more leaves, nodes, & branches, & its root system becomes more established to prepare for flowering.

This is the stage where growers will begin topping & training plants.

The spacing between nodes displays what kind of cannabis you are growing. A node is where any two branches intersect off the main stalk. When a plant is young, nodes develop in pairs. When a plant has matured nodes start to alternate. They still develop in pairs but there is more distance between them & branches are no longer parallel to one another.

There are also secondary nodes on branches that have developed from the main stalk.

Sativa plants are lanky & don't have as many leaves while Indica plants are shorter & denser.

During the vegetation stage, it's important to increase water to aid in the plant's development. As your plant grows larger & the roots grow outward, it's better to water farther away so that the tips of the roots can more easily absorb it.

During this stage your plants need an increase in warm water, a flow of dry air, nitrogen & potassium-rich nutrients, & a lot of soil space to allow them to grow 2-3 feet tall.

Similar to the seedling stage, during vegetative growth, cannabis plants should be in well-drained soil. It's important to let the plants dry out between watering to ensure they do not drown.

The growth of the plants is based on the rate leaves gather light & transform it into photosynthesis.

For indoor grow rooms, plants should be kept on an 18-hour day light cycle with a 6-hour night period. You can keep your plants on a 24-hour light cycle but plants tend to do better when given breaks & it will save you some money.

Fun fact: Since light cycles control when a plant goes from the vegetative stage to flowering, they can be kept in vegetation forever. This is a tactic used to skip the germination stage & grow plants from cuttings.

4. Pre-flowering

It can take anywhere from 7 to 14 days for a plant to enter the pre-flowering stage. Once it does the sex can be determined by the pre-flower found at the nodes. It becomes easier to figure out the sex when the plant goes deeper into vegetation.

Once the sacs on a male or intersex plant burst, the pollen can fertilize the cola of nearby females ruining the psychoactive potential of their trichomes (small gl&ular hairs). This is why it's critical for male & intersex plants to be removed before flowering.

Since Hermies have both gl&s & leaves (the reproductive organs of a cannabis plant), they can pollinate themselves & ruin your harvest. You must remove & destroy all intersex plants because of this risk.

A cola is the flowering site on a female cannabis plant where flowers grow together tightly. This is also known as the terminal bud. Healthy plants typically form one main cola from the center of their structure & smaller colas form on the outside of the plant. Trimming & training are used to increase the number of large colas a plant will form.

Non-pollinated female plants produce Sinsemilla, they have no seeds & produce more cannabinoids. Sensimilla has an exceptionally high concentration of psychoactive agents & is responsible for effects like talkativeness, increased sociability, euphoria, the munchies, & hallucinations. These plants produce large volumes of resin & fake seed bods both containing high levels of THC.

Sinsemilla is identified by the white hairs that sprout from the bracts at the plant's nodes.

Once the plant starts receiving less light per day (from 18 to 12 hours), its growth will halt & it will enter the flowering phase.

5. Flowering

The flowering stage occurs naturally when plants receive less than 12 hours of light a day. For cannabis to completely enter the flowering stage it requires periods of 10 to 12 hours of complete darkness.

You will know that your plant is ready to be harvested when the colors of the pistils on cola buds turn from white to reddish orange & the trichome heads turn from transparent to milky to opaque & finally amber.

The amber color indicates a higher CBD to THC cannabinoid ratio in its resin.

Trichomes produce THC, terpenes, flavonoids, & other cannabinoids. As flower clusters develop more cannabinoid compounds develop & the clusters become sticky from resin.

In the flowering stage, cannabis plants enjoy warm weather, medium humidity, & benefit from intermittently receiving blooming nutrients.

If you notice that the trichomes fell off, you let the plant grow too long & most of the cannabinoids are gone meaning you won't get the THC or CBD effects & will have to start over with a new batch.

Trichomes turn from cloudy white to brown once THC begins to weaken. While having some brown trichomes is okay, its a sign that the plant is ready to be harvested.

It's recommended to harvest once half the trichomes are opaque. It's believed that this method produces the highest amount of THC & the lowest levels of CBD.

Another way to determine if your plants are ready for harvest is by checking the color of the hairs that grow inside of the pistils or calyxes.

If there is a high color ratio of white to red pistils your cannabis will provide a euphoric THC high.

If the color ratio is more red to white, your cannabis will provide a calmer, CBD-stoned feeling.

If you harvest once half the trichomes are opaque & the pistils haven't turned brown, your cannabis will provide a balanced THC/CBD high.

6. Harvesting

Once it's time for harvest, the cannabis plant should be cut down into smaller branches to ease the drying process. When the plant is cut into small sections, the pieces should be strung & hung upside down in a cool, dark room.

Commercial cannabis is typically dried by applying a humidity level of between 40 & 50%. The plants should remain hanging for 7 to 14 days.

Drying is necessary to prevent fungus & bacteria from growing. By removing moisture, you can effectively preserve the life of your cannabis. Completing the drying process too quickly will result in harsh cannabis.

The curing process is optional & involves aging cannabis in sealed, airtight containers (generally mason jars) & placing them in a cabinet where temperature levels remain between 50 & 60 °F.

To avoid a decrease in airflow, jars should not be packed tightly. They must remain stored for 1 to 3 weeks & opened briefly once a day to release any buildup of gases while absorbing the fresh air.

It's believed that curing improves flavor & burn quality, & reduces the harshness.

How to Speed Up Harvest Time?

Many of our readers write in to ask about speeding up the time to harvest.

So, how long does it actually take to grow marijuana?

Short Answer: From Day 1 of your marijuana plant's life to a smokable harvest, you are looking at a window ranging between 3 and 7+ months!

Many factors will affect the total time, but the average grow takes 3-4 months.

Long Answer: These factors have the greatest impact on total time to harvest:

Plant strain – strain has the largest impact on growing time.

Desired yields – do you want to grow a few grams, a few ounces, or a few pounds?

Growing method – differing grow methods/setups can add or subtract a few weeks or even months!

CURING YOUR BUDS

Now that harvesting and trimming are complete, it’s time to cure your flowers. Curing is an essential process that removes the last of the residual water from the buds, minimising the chance of mould and greatly prolonging shelf life. Curing also enhances the taste and quality of the smoke, making for a smooth and potent experience.

If you opted to use the dry trimming method, then your flowers will be ready to cure straight away. If you chose wet trimming, then your flowers will need to be properly dried before you go on to cure them.

To do this, spread them out over some cardboard, newspaper, or, even better, a wire drying rack. Whichever you choose, make sure they are spread out over a large surface area and exposed to as much fresh air as possible. Aim for a steady room temperature of 21°C and a relative humidity of 50% to ensure a longer but gentle drying process to maintain as much flavour as possible.

Now we can move on to curing. For this, you’ll need airtight glass jars to minimise mould from taking hold. Fill each jar so it’s ⅔ full, leaving adequate room for air. This is the perfect environment for excess sugars and chlorophyll to be broken down, a process which is key for those smoother hits of smoke.

For the first two weeks of curing, open each jar once or twice per day and remove each bud, checking for any signs of cobweb-like mould. If you detect anything, remove this bud from the jar and place it in the bin. Opening jars this regularly will also serve to replace the air within the jar, keeping it fresh.

After a few weeks, the need to check your buds as much will reduce; the drier they become, the less chance there is of mould striking. At this stage, you’ll only need to check around twice per week to expose your buds to fresh air. After a few weeks, your buds will be cured; however, some growers choose to go a few weeks further to develop pristine and high-quality flavour. You can smoke-test you buds as the weeks go by to see if the current taste suits your preference.

How Much Time Per Week Does It Take To Grow Cannabis?

Now that you're equipped with the information to get you to harvest as soon as possible, let's quickly address another common question we receive about time.

Growers often write in to ask us how much time it will take per week to grow a marijuana plant. We understand that many of you have busy schedules, and want to know if growing your own weed is a realistic goal for you.

The amount of time spent growing varies greatly depending on the method you use to grow, the size you let your plants get and the skill of the grower. But that doesn't mean there isn't a growing method that's conducive to spending less time plant-tending.

The truth is, you can grow weed in only 20-30 minutes a week when you use the right techniques and get used to the process of growing. The following article reveals the best way we know to grow lots of potent bud while using a minimum amount of time to do so. We make this happen using a hydroponic style of growing known as Top-fed DWC (aka "bubbleponics").

Final thoughts

Using your own home-grown Mary Jane can be very rewarding. If you’re a cannabis user with a green thumb, then we recommend giving it a go at least once. You never know, you might find your new favorite hobby! Once you get the hang of things, you can start growing more challenging and exciting strains.

Before you start, though, it’s crucial to find out the laws in your locality. Growing weed in a state where it’s illegal can carry hefty penalties, so it’s just not worth it! Make sure you stick to the laws in your state, and you will find the experience much more pleasant.

personally i think it goes like this:

scary: all the obvious ones, x-ray posse, mindless self indulgence, panic at the disco, imagine dragons etc. her fave is prolly billie eilish or mcr etc. plus those edgy nightcore songs from the '10s ... i am a full "scary loves the 'vintage' 2010s/2020s scene/emo/punk aesthetics and idolizes them" truther

thats her music taste on the outside but on the inside i think she also secretly likes some super mainstream songs but would never admits to that LMAO she only listens to like harry styles and madonna in her room alone and only with headphones on. she gets extremely jumpy and snappy if someone walks in while she does

taylor: exclusively anime openings ofc. and hatsune miku songs and covers. but also even he doesnt know why christmas music always makes him dance

normal: used to be exclusively the marching band covers will said he listens to but after The Sparrow Incident hes forbid those from himself and now listens to stuff his friends do + top 50s spotify lists bcs he thinks thats The Normal Music Taste

link: bastille. i know im right die mad about it

hermie: oingo boingo, will wood, lemon demon... THE 2020s queer podcast listener kid music taste

since spotify wrapped is coming up soon, what do u guys think the dndads characters would listen to? i think hermies would be a mess of toby fox and broadway soundtracks

How does Marquis feel about mehrunes dagon nd the rest of the daedra, 👀

“Oh I have some feelings for Dagon all right, that piece of netch shit can chew rocks for all I care, if i had a list of people I hated from most to least then he would be at the top. That piece of shit took everything from me, you know what it's like watching the man you love die in front of your eyes? The man you just married? It’s the worst thing I’ve ever experienced. And I couldn’t even do anything, I just had to stand there while the only person I’ve ever loved sacrificed himself to keep Mehrunes fucking Dagon from entering Tamriel. And all I was left with was a fucking statue and a hole in my chest, so yeah I have some feelings about him. 

As for the other Daedra, the ones I don't like after dagon are Hermy, who’s a giant asshole, also weird, does he have to always show up as mass of tentacles to mortals? Merida, she hates me because i chose to be a vampire, doesn't matter if i got cured apparently, Molag Bal, which by the way, what’s his deal? who pissed in his ale to make him this upset for this long, it’s like hes got a 10 foot stick up his ass all the time, Namira they’re fun to talk to but they doesn't know how to dial down the gross phrasing, Peryite, who anytime I annoy him he threatens to give me the plague, Jyggy, he’s boring, also a bitch to fight, Vaermina, I mostly don't like them because they steal their champions through temptation, and it's not because I’m jealous Koko almost became her champion despite what she may tell you.

I don't really have any strong feelings about Boethiah, Clavicus Vile, Malacath, Mephala, and Hircine though? You’d think over the course of 200 years I’d talk to them more but really I haven’t seen as much of them.

My favorite daedra are of course myself, Sanguine, Nocturnal, and Azura. Nocturnal and Azura are always the daedra with the best gossip and nocturnal has the best sense of fashion?? She got mad at me when I copied one of her robes once though. Azura can be a bit of a bitch sometimes but other than that she’s honestly not a bad daedra. Though if I had to pick a daedra to call my best friend it would be Sanguine. Apparently he and my predecessor hung out quite  lot and when I took the mantle that didn’t change. When i took the mantle I lost myself to it for 10 years while I tried to learn how to deal with everything that came with it, and he still visited every single time. I think he knew i was struggling with the mantle. According to him, I was a completely different person under the mantle, I wasn’t the same as my predecessor but I definitely wasn’t me. It probably was a bit of a shock for him to visit the isles one day only to meet a completely different person than he thought he knew for 10 years. All I remember was waking up like I had just passed out after a night of drinking, only the barest hints of what I did and Sanguine standing in the throne room with a bottle of wine. He’s honestly been a stabilizer in all of this, we get along rather well and he always gets smug whenever he remembers I was his champion. If im to be completely honest I did have a fling with him about 10 years before all the Alduin drama happened.”

NWA TNA Episodes 2+3, June 2002

Here are my thoughts on the next two weekly PPV episodes of NWA:TNA.

this move won two titles

There's a lengthy recap package of last week's major stuff. Sign spotted- "Heyo I’m Drunko 4:20". Same. Don West is wearing the same Hawaiian shirt as they are not hiding that this is the same taping as last "week". A TNA chant overcomes the announcers until Jarrett kicks us off.

Challenge Match Jeff Jarrett vs Scott Hall w/ Jackie Fargo and Toby Keith

At least some Total Nonstop Action starts in the ring. It's a little blatant that Jarrett, the evil heel, is still playing the hero face role. But whatever. Scott Hall is still trying decently hard here. Southern wrestling crowds, god bless 'em, pop pretty huge when Hall reverses a sleeper into a sleeper. The announcers are selling the exchange of punches at the 5 minute mark like it's trading headbutts at minute 29 of a G1 climax match. K-Krush saves Jarrett from The Edge (not U2), and all hell breaks loose at ringside, including a camera man getting run over by Brian Christopher. Eventually Toby Keith low blows Double J before he can pull off The Stroke (phrasing) and the ref doesn't care.

Scott Hall via Angry American in 7 minutes. *1/2

Cheex w/ The Brown Eyed Girl vs Frank Parker

Cheex' gimmick is weighing over 400 pounds. The announcers tell us about Hall/Christopher vs Jarrett/K-Krush next week, and Alicia returns to ringside to get a wad of money from ring announcer Jeremy Borash for some reason. They also put over next week's tag team title tournament during the finish. This is not good.

Cheex via gravity in 2 minutes.  1/4*

Grudge Match K-Krush vs Brian Christopher w/ Hermie Sadler and Sterling Marlin (NASCAR)

K-Krush does not rap to the ring. I'm ready for Ed Ferrara to leave the announce booth. They're giving us a match worthy of 2001 Sunday Night Heat. The NASCAR fellas crotch poor K-Krush with the middle rope to set up the Hip Hop Drop.  More faces cheating like heels via celebrities.

Brian Christopher via Hip Hop Drop in 5 minutes. *1/2

Announcers again put over the tag match next week, making the previous bits seem even more meaningless. Well, speaking of important things, time for the Lingerie Battle Royal for the title of Miss TNA. The women are all wearing odd scrubs/pajamas over their lingerie. Sign spotted "NWA Nonstop Whoop Ass"

Lingerie Battle Royal

Forgive me for not catching every move and elimination in order. The announcers are saying too many awful things for me to keep up with. Francine gets triple teamed fairly early and dumped leading to Ed Ferrara abandoning the announcer booth to console her. She starts whipping him with his own belt while the cameramen and announcers ignore the rest of the battle royal in the ring. Taylor Vaughn takes it, Francine strips and whips her anyways.

Taylor Vaughn in 5 minutes. ZERO.

Goldylocks is backstage with Apolo. Bobcat and David Young interrupt her chat and argue until Goldylocks 'cuts' the segment.

Apolo vs David Young w/ Bobcat

Apolo's music sounds like generic Carlos Santana, and David Young's is Motley Crue knockoff. Bobcat distracts David Young by flirting with every official at ringside. David Young hits his spinebuster finisher, but takes too long talking to Bobcat before missing a moonsault and falling to Apolo.

Apolo in 5 minutes via F5/stunner. *1/2

These matches are all kind of short, forgettable nothing affairs. I'm still on board for the X Title thing later, but this is very dire. Speaking of dire, Joel Gertner is in the ring talking about the Rainbow Express and homosexuality.

Rainbow Express w/ Joel Gertner vs The Dupps w/ Fluff Dupp - buuuuut The Dupps refruse to come out, lamenting wrestling hippies and "left-wingers", a frantic official convinces Chris Harris and James Storm to team up and run out.

Rainbow Express w/ Joel Gertner vs Chris Harris and James Storm (Not America's Most Wanted)

What a start to the best tag team storyline I can remember for the length of the TNA Asylum years. After some back and forth, Lenny takes control and tags via kiss to Bruce. They keep control beating up Storm with a couple more kiss tags. Chris Harris is able to get his own clever cheating on to break up Lenny's "Tiger Tamer" submission. After a couple traded roll ups for 2, Harris is able to win yet another 5 minute match.

Harris and Storm in 5 minutes via Miscommunication Rollup. **

Ricky The Dragon introduces the champ, Ken Shamrock. The Sinister Minister finally interrupts a really boring promo asking all the "crackers in Huntsville Alabama to shut up" and introduces his Disciples of the New Church. Malice eventually ends up getting Shamrock with the chokeslam, holding on to the choke part until officials swarm the ring. We finally get to hear the New Church theme song, which is really great. At some point I'm going to add a theme song power ranking to these reviews. X Division time.

Double Elimination Round Robin for the X Division Title AJ Styles vs Jerry Lynn vs Low Ki vs Psichosis

AJ comes out to a very bad Born in the USA rip-off. It's some kind of Round Robin / double elimination format, and AJ and Psichosis start us off. Styles survives the Guillotine Leg Drop and then quickly hits the Styles Clash for the first fall in about 2 minutes. Lowki speeds into the ring. AJ takes him out in about 3 minutes flat. Jerry Lynn speeds in, pouncing on AJ Styles and hitting a Cradle Piledriver in about 10 seconds. Psichosis enters the ring with a dropkick on poor Jerry Lynn's head. Jerry ends a fun sprint with the cradle piledriver in about 3 minutes. Psichosis is now eliminated. Low Ki and Jerry Lynn start going at it. Don West is calling this the greatest show on earth every other move. Low Ki reverses the cradle piledriver into an armbar, but still gets a gut wrench power bomb. After 4 minutes, Jerry reverses Low Ki's muscle buster finisher into a sick DDT, and cradle piledrives him away. AJ is in the ring, and we're down to two. Styles has to get two falls on Lynn to capture the title and end the match. The young gun is throwing everything at Jerry and getting 2 counts. The Styles Clash finally gets Lynn away after another 4 minutes. Ricky Steamboat rolls in the ring as the final fall begins. They tease a couple double knockout spots before brawling to the outside, including Styles hitting a moonsault reverse DDT from the apron. AJ Styles wriggles out of a spinning vertebreaker, then Lynn hits some kind of powerbomb facebuster for 2. AJ gets out of the cradle piledriver, and survives a brainbuster by Lynn. The last fall is really benefitting from some time to breathe after the early blitz.  Lynn's superplex only gets 2, frustrating the veteran. Lynn goes back up top but AJ is able to fight him off and hit the Spiral Tap, which is odd to see as a higher-tier finisher than the Clash, and it beats Lynn after 10 minutes.

AJ Styles finally eliminates Jerry Lynn via Spiral Tap after 27 minutes to become the new and first X Division champion. ****1/4  Easily the best match in the short history of TNA, and worthy of the double taping main event.

The crowd goes wild, pyro, terrible Born in the USA theme blares, Ricky raises both of their hands. Tenay puts over all the tag team action and Shamrock vs Malice next week at ringside.

EPISODE 3

I lied, we are not actually at the TNA Asylum yet. We are live from the Municipal Auditorium in Nashville for a one night tag team tournament though to crown the tag champions.

Tag Tournament Match Cowboy James Storm and Chris Harris vs The Johnsons w/ Mortimer Plumtree

The announcers put over that the future America's Most Wanted was a last-minute addition last week. We are blessed with a Mortimer Plumtree promo on the way to the ring. Sign spotted: LET'S GO DICK. Also, the announcers are now calling him "Wildcat" Chris Harris. The Johnsons look infinitely better here than their first match. However, the Johnsons suffer a flash pin after the future AMW hits a good crossbody/dropkick combo move in 5 minutes. **  The Johnsons beat up their nerd manager when he tries to spank them after the match.

Scott Hall comes out to a live mic wearing an elementary school t-shirt. Jeff Jarrett interrupts with the zinger "Hey yo my ass!" The NWA President gets sweaty and yells at Jarrett; this heel vs authority storyline never makes sense. K Krush attacks Hall during the confusion unsuccessfully. Goldylocks is with a bloodied Chris Harris in the back.

David Jobber vs Monty Brown

The poor jobber in the ring doesn't get an entrance and also gets a last name drowned out by Monty Brown's entrance as we are introduced to The Alpha Male. He runs through a few impressive power moves in 2 minutes and ends with a fallaway powerbomb. 1/2*

Goldylocks is looking for Jim Miller backstage. The Hot Shots have no idea. Puppet the Psycho Dwarf is angry and not leaving tonight until he makes a midget bleed.

Tag Tournament Match Rainbow Express w/ Joel Gertner vs Buff Bagwell and Apolo

The surprise no one ever wanted: Buff Bagwell. Alicia comes down during the match to get some cash from Ed Ferrara. The Stuff botches a cross body out of the ring awkwardly after a few minutes of boring action. Apolo and Buff hit their finishers, but the latter walks into a superkick that ends it in 7 minutes. *1/2 I think this means there's a rematch from last week for the tag titles. Apolo seemingly abandons Buff after the match, then he whines about being called Marcus since Buff has ruined his career.

Ken Shamrock comes out with a mic and the belt. He gets heavy WHAT chants as he goes over all the challengers he's already concerned with for his title, including the new Monty Brown. Thankfully, the lights cut him off and the Sinister Minister appears in section C3. The lights come back on showing Malice standing over a writhing in pain Ken Shamrock.

Goldylocks is backstage talking to NWA officials and Jerry Lynn about the tag situation, but he shoos them away.

Midget Showcase Match Puppet vs Stone

Sign spotted: Midgets scare me. Puppet issues an open challenge answered by vanilla dork Stone who slowly gets in the ring and takes a few weapons shots. Puppet wins with a TKO on a trash can after 3 minutes, then attacks the ref, the announcer, and Stone some more. Don West offers a high five and gets kendo sticked in the face. *

Francine vs Miss TNA Taylor Vaughn

Francine starts belt whipping Taylor immediately until the ref pulls it away. Taylor steals the belt from the ref and then whips Francine to the ground until the ref tries to take it back, then whips him too. The ref throws out the match before it starts. Zero.

Hermie Sadler comes out for another nothing segment until K-Krush interrupts in a hilarious t-shirt with a huge airbrushed image of his face.  He talks smack until Hermie walks away and unleashes a spear on the entrance ramp. They get pulled apart and K-Krush challenges for next week.

NWA World Heavyweight Championship Match Ken Shamrock (champ) vs Malice

A very sweaty Ken Shamrock saunters to the ring and Malice takes control stomping and beating immediately as the announcers put over that Shamrock is not at 100%. After a slow round of ringside brawling, Shamrock hits his signature moves ending with the belly to belly to pin Malice in 6 minutes and keep the title.

NWA X Division Championship Match AJ Styles (champ) vs David Young w/ Bobcat

Not sure why David Young deserves a title match after losing last week, but oh well. The Bobcat thing is still going on. AJ Styles hits some great stuff, and Young even does a nice middle rope moonsault to the outside that gets a 2 count in the ring. There's another good exploder suplex into the corner for 2. Young mostly keeps control despite some flurries from AJ. After going back and forth, Young spikes a great twisting spinebuster for only two. AJ rebounds from Young's finisher and ends up winning with a second rope Styles Clash in 9 minutes. **1/2. Pretty solid match, but it felt like AJ was in too much trouble in his first defense over a mostly jobber. David Young and Bobcat have more drama in the ring as the latter celebrates the loss.

Gertner and the Rainbow Express celebrate being the Tag Team champs in the back since all the teams are injured.

NWA Tag Team Championship Match The Rainbow Express w/ Joel Gertner vs Jerry Lynn and AJ Styles

Borash announces they must have opponents.  Jerry Lynn spends a lot of time getting worked over by Rainbow Express while AJ sells his immediately previous title defense. The cradle piledriver gets reversed thanks to Gertner, and at long last, AJ Styles gets the hot tag and starts to go wild. Everything breaks down and Lynn hits the cradle piledriver inside and then takes the other tag member outside. AJ Styles hits Spiral Tap as Gertner trips over himself trying to break up the pinfall and they win in 11 minutes. *** Very solid match, setting up a cool simple story and putting AJ Styles even further over as a star and double champ.

Main Event Tag Match Jeff Jarrett and K Krush vs Scott Hall and Brian Christopher

We start almost immediately with a crowd brawl. Hall and Jarrett trade punches in the TNA Girls' Dancer Cages. They eventually circle back to ringside and Hall throws Jarrett across the announcer table. Christopher misses a Hip Hop Drop and after Hall and Jarrett finally return to ringside, it slowly settles back into a tag match. The bad guys isolate Hall for a really long beatdown segment. After an agonizing 10 count, Christopher gets tied up with the ref in the corner and misses a Hall tag attempt. Hall makes it back at long last and Brian pulls his hand and decks Hall. He still cleans house, including a ref bump, as it degrades into a 1v3. He drops K Krush with an Outsider's Edge, but Jarrett gets saved and goes right into the Stroke, plus a Brian leg drop for good measure. Jarrett pins at 12 minutes. *1/4. The turn was good and somewhat saved the idiotic middle of the match, but it still went on way too long.

The bad guys celebrate, with Jeff getting real "You ain't worth a shit!" He takes the dumb trophy from the opening and cracks it over Scott Hall as his stealth face turn continues. Double J continues talking about whooping the whole Titans offensive line as they sell Hall's injuries on a stretcher, with an elbow drop out of the ring added on. He exits after pushing Hall's stretcher off the entrance ramp just for good measure.

Release: DemoDemo PlayStation Volume 10, 1995 September (PCPX-96014)

Download Link

Buckle in, because this is the first of at least a dozen DemoDemo discs that I have to upload to this blog. As the naming convention might indicate, DemoDemo is something of a cousin to the PlayPlay series of demo discs I’ve released previously, which began life on the PS1. Like the PlayPlay discs, DemoDemo discs were demo compilation discs (albeit solely for the PS1), but given to retailers to use as kiosk content. New discs would arrive every month, bringing with it a new batch of demos to play and preview movies for customers to check out, among other things.

Volume 10 here is notable in that addition to containing the usual sort of content you’d expect from something like this, it also has a little in-progress game called Controller-kun no Tabi, a rudimentary polygonal forced scrolling shooter in the vein of something like Star Fox, but starring a PlayStation controller instead. While nothing to write home about gameplay-wise, it was actually meant to be developed further based on player feedback that was mailed in to the development team, something that I believe was also seen with PlayStation Underground in the West with a wholly separate game altogether. As far as I can tell, however, development never progressed past this disc, making it more a tangential historical curiosity than something you can actually track over time like the Western counterpart. Still, with very little information on it whatsoever even in Japanese, I’m glad I got to have it preserved so it didn’t disappear into complete obscurity. 

Beyond that, the most notable demo on here is arguably the one for Twilight Syndrome, which I believe might be a standalone story not present in the retail game, at least assuming it’s the same as the standalone demo disc for the game that also exists. The handful of commercials you can view are also worth checking out, especially this Darkstalkers one that’s musically going for something I can’t even begin to describe and needs to be seen to be believed.

Anyway, here’s the full breakdown of stuff you can expect to find on this disc:
