How Long Can Cannabis Seeds Last in Storage?
Jerry here. I get this question all the time from folks looking to stock up on our bulk seed packs.

Does Rain Wash Away THC?
The good news is that THC is not water-soluble. If it were, we wouldn’t need high-proof alcohol or butter to make our edibles. Your resin glands are essentially a specialized wax. Just like a waxed car, the rain should roll right off those sticky colas without dissolving the "magic" inside.
Can You Use Pond Water for Cannabis?
When you’re miles deep in the brush and your ladies are starting to droop under a 90-degree sun, you don't always have the luxury of being picky.

Finding a Guerrilla Grow: The Ghost finds OPP (Other People’s Pot)
erry here. In fifty years of "Ghosting" through the deep woods, I haven’t just been looking at my own plants. I’ve stumbled across what I call OPP—Other People’s Pot—more times than I can count. From massive, 1,000-plant commercial operations run like military camps to tiny, three-plant "hobby" patches tucked into a briar patch, I’ve seen it all.
