I Think we are in for a high mold Autumn...........

It is also an La Niña year!
This winter is expected to be a Very Cold this winter because of it!
How far is Casablanca? It could be a nice warm place for Christmas!


As part of the wider El Niño Southern Oscillation, La Niña is characterised by the development of cooler than average sea surface temperatures (SSTs) in the eastern Pacific Ocean.

Sometimes dropping by around 5°C below normal, this oceanic cooling can cause droughts in some parts of the world, and intense storms in others. It is only the third 'triple dip' La Niña since records began, back in 1950.

According to the BoM, this event is forecast to be weak to moderate in strength, peaking during the Southern Hemisphere's spring and easing during summer.

“During La Niña events, waters in the eastern tropical Pacific Ocean are cooler than normal, and waters in the western tropical Pacific Ocean warmer than normal," said Dr Andrew Watkins, head of long-range weather forecasts at the BoM.

"This causes changes in wind, cloud and pressure patterns over the Pacific. When this change in the atmosphere combines with changes in ocean temperature, it can influence global weather patterns and climate."

Global weather impacts of La Niña
La Niña events have widespread impacts on both seasonal weather patterns and the climate, as the changes in SSTs have knock-on effects on large scale circulation patterns.

For example, the phenomenon tends to bring increased levels of rainfall for parts of northern South America, southern Africa and many areas in southern and eastern Asia.

These wetter than average conditions are particularly notable in Australia, where rainfall during local summer can be as much as 20% higher than normal, resulting in severe flooding. Elsewhere, the southern United States and Mexico usually see comparatively dry, warm conditions, which can lead to drought.

Does La Niña affect the UK?

The consequences of La Niña in Europe are much less obvious, with the only clear impact, according to the Met Office, being a tendency for slightly drier than average weather in the Iberian Peninsula during autumn.

In the UK, there is a tendency for La Niña years to favour high pressure in the mid-Atlantic during late autumn and early winter. This can promote intense, cold conditions due to the blocking of the Atlantic weather systems that typically deliver mild air.

Conversely, in late winter, the weather can turn milder as La Niña drives the jet stream closer to the North Pole. This can also result in stormier conditions, with increased rainfall.

Yep statewide
Wasn't there another weather pattern like el Nina that also affects the Gulf Stream or something I remember hearing about it I have an S2 operator who's retired from the military that is now a full-time want to be closet meteorologist and he you know he he does he he spent double digit what you'd spend on a vehicle for weather barometers and Doppler and all that for his property so I he must not have been listening when he was discussing this with me but what you just said in your post was a diatribe I got about a week ago from him so it's obvious that people in the know are aware of what's coming today that's cool that's good

I Think we are in for a high mold Autumn...........

Oooooh I hate that mold and bud rot!
Lets break the mold, with some grimey punk!
Smash the system & break the mold!

 

[dogfart]

I concur


I am a patient boy,
Lol
I wonder what these Master cultivators do to increase mold resistance in cultivars to the point where they could endure weather like we're seeing right now and come out without any mold issues if that's even possible my indoor experience way trumps My Outdoor Experience cuz I haven't had the property security or the mental stability to leave something I covet so much out somewhere where I can't supervise it at least 3 days a week without attracting unwanted attention so those caveats made it really really rough to grow and keep my sanity Outdoors and now that people are moving to my state like it's handing out free stuff which it might that I don't know about I heard a little rumor the other day that they were handing out people 10 grand or something like that to move here for a little campaign a while back oh yeah I know

The Hash Artist: Simpson Solventless
Using rosin and other solventless concentrates, Eric Simpson sculpts works of art you can dab​

Making great hash is an art. Making art from great hash even more so.
That’s exactly what Eric Simpson of Simpson Solventless, LLC, does in his lab in Northern California.
You may have seen Eric dropping some niche rosin pressing knowledge on YouTube with Pure Pressure, or you may have seen his Instagram @simpsonsolventless, where he has helped to re-popularize hash art with his incredible solventless formulations and artistic molding.

A northern California native, Eric is a self-taught solventless guy that has been working in and around Cannabis since he was 16, helping to pioneer some of the earliest evolutions in the Cannabis industry. If not for the open blasters and tee-shirt pressers of decades past, we would likely not have the cache of extraction knowledge we do today – and Eric is one of those early adopters who got into the industry and developed a passion during a wave of Cannabis innovation.

Like many of us, he started his love affair with Cannabis as a grower in small, intimate set-ups. However, after a little experimentation, Eric quickly jumped into the newly developing world of extracts – which at the time consisted mainly of open blasting BHO and pressing flower with a hair straightener. Passion, practice and study led him down a path that started with the basic hair straightener tech, scaling up to a tee-shirt press, all the way to his current tool of choice – the Long’s Peak Pure Pressure rosin press, where he is now pushing the envelope for quality solventless.

Today, Eric has turned his knowledge into a consulting business where he helps farmers and companies produce the highest quality products possible, using state-of-the-art solventless techniques. This ranges from helping to pick out the best cultivars for production, all the way to producing and formulating novel products for the market. Always generous with his knowledge, he has also earned a reputation as a high quality, dedicated educator in the space.

Passion, practice and study led him down a path that started with the basic hair straightener tech, scaling up to a tee-shirt press, all the way to his current tool of choice – the Long’s Peak Pure Pressure rosin press.

His other benchmark – stamping, sculpting and molding hash – is not a new practice. Indeed, most of the hash producing world has traditionally stamped their hash product with a family seal or brand image, and this practice is still maintained to this day. Eric is helping to bring this tradition into the American solventless space by taking it to a whole new level, not only branding his products with signature shapes, but creating straight up pieces of art to delight Instagram followers and hash connoisseurs alike. He also plays with temperatures and various types of solventless products to create new consistencies and exquisite product pairings that are as aesthetically pleasing as they are robust and flavorful.

Working with everything from full melt hashes to solventless crystalline isolates to cold cured rosins, Eric utilizes all the tools in his arsenal to concoct tantalizing creations like two-toned THC-a crystalline donuts, and mushroom and skull shaped full melt sculptures I can only describe as Willy Wonka chic. Strictly utilizing the finest cultivars from the finest growers, Eric is quick to shout out his cultivators because he deeply adheres to the mantra of “fire in, fire out” for hash/oil production.

The best hash maker in the world cannot produce a quality product from poor flower, and every quality resin worker knows this. When asked if he had a favorite grower, Eric humbly replied, “I can’t even shout out just one because they are all so quality, it’s just too many. I am really grateful for the growers I get to work with.” This excellent relationship with his cultivators and his self-made learning journey, combined with his commitment to education and passion for self expression, make Eric Simpson a name worth knowing anywhere in the Cannabis world – and synonymous with the forefront of the solventless industry.

Sloventless should be the industry standard
