Thanks for the reply. I love the Grow Weed Easy website. It's been my bible for many years. Way back in time I was in a Facebook group where the answer to most growing problems was to add CalMag.
Here's a Blue Gelato I grew recently:

I need to dry weed when making kief so I know the moisture content. It's usually 10%.
Take 100 grams and place it in a Pyrex bowl in a microwave oven at full power for 10 seconds. Check the moisture that forms in the bowl & repeat until the weed feels crunchy. It should weigh about 90 grams.

@timbale.bsky.social Another misleading Torygraph article.
From Wikipedia:
A small, traditional "always on" two-oven model running on gas will use approximately 425 kWh per week. The average standard gas oven and hob uses approximately 2.6% of the AGA range cooker's consumption.

This is Aix Dream, #cannabis I created for growing in Germany. These are images of two cuttings a friend grew indoors this year.
My concept is to cultivate the best weed for people to grow for free. I call this really creative commons.
Note: Growing up to three cannabis plants is legal in Germany.

Before the industrial revolution we lived very short lives of around 30 years. Technology changed all that while dramatically increasing the population.

Medical cannabis is available in Germany, that's true. You need a prescription from a doctor, but some offer this online with hardly any oversight.
I bought 20 grams of OG Kush online this way at a cost of €5.99 a gram. It was imported from Canada and was radiated. I prefer my own weed TBH.

Yes, but we need to learn the lessons from legalising cannabis in the USA and elsewhere. Too much bureaucracy and high taxes kill the legal trade. Social clubs are a good idea, but again, making it complicated for them ruins the deal.
Growing weed at home is free and easy. It's the very best way.

It's not so much the tax revenue that counts IMO.
I grow weed legally in Germany for myself and my partner who has MS. We have no other legal access to cannabis.
I pay no tax on my weed-it only costs us the price of growing it (which is almost nothing as we have a PV system on the roof).
