The Toxic Garbage From Cartel Cannabis Grows Hiding in Washington’s Forests
Over the years I have found 5 or 6 big commercial cannabis grows. Most of them Mexican cartels. I found all but one after they had been busted. Ghost towns of the cannabis guerrilla growing trade.
From Cessnas to AI: The Evolution of the ‘Eye in the Sky’
In my fifty years of secretly growing cannabis guerrilla as The Ghost , I have witnessed the many different versions of 'the eye in the Sky'.

Does Molasses Actually Bulk Up Buds?
If you’ve spent any time in the forums or talking to old-timers, you’ve heard about the "Blackstrap Secret." Some folks swear by it, while others think it’s just sticky folklore.

Does Rain Wash Away THC?
