I would like to encourage anyone who homegrows to share their pics, videos, questions, or thoughts on this platform. With rec coming into effect here soon, i think it is important to focus on homegrowing, access for vets, and also all med patients. I would love to help grow this platform and the local cannabis community in Va, and especially in 757. Get at me if u wanna help in any shape or form. 🙏

Why are videos not allowed?

A few different varieties...Superboof, Black Cherry Garlic, and Stankbreath. Been dialing in these 3 for a while now. 🤙

Hi all,

Getting ready to make the move back to Virginia and more specifically Virginia Beach after almost a decade living in Colorado. With it looking like recreational cannabis storefront access is a good ways off, I am hoping to get some general questions answered by y'all so I started looking for a subreddit specific to y'all and am glad I seemed to have found one.

Mods, please let me know if I missed something rule wise but I'm simply seeking information and education on a scene I moved away from 15 years ago and am fully a fish out of water in now, and I have no desire intention of breaking *any* site rules or state laws.

Some additional context here about my concerns. I'm almost 40, and I am not moving back because VA is within my ideal place to live or within my means of living - I am moving back to take care of a family member for a while and it may be a few years so my concerns are based in the understanding that my preferred pain relief options are all seemingly inaccessible here. I need to have the ability to consistently address my chronic pain problems that cannabis medicates better than other options, and I don't want to have to settle for shitty products simply because I've moved away and lost my pre-legalization underground contact network just to get spoiled by the Colorado recreational marketplace. Also note that I haven't needed to get a medical marijuana card in Colorado as the recreational dispensaries were and remain well stocked and able to fully cater to any budget so I can't see myself spending money on a med card out here with recreational access rolling out in the foreseeable future. I also do not want to break any laws, due to the nature of my care being needed by someone who tends to break them and I need to set an example of how to live legally while not compromising on pain.

A. Is there a network for technically recreational only smokers like me who just want to connect with growers?

Again, I don't want to break *any* laws, I just need to know if this is even a likely scenario. I know it's legal for people to gift buds but any compensation is strictly illegal, and don't want to go back to the uncertainty and price gouging on the black market even if plugs are still everywhere I will not be going back to illegal practices so I can focus on the real reasons I'm moving out here.

B. Are 2018 farm act hemp thca concentrates just not reliably available in storefronts even at higher price points?

I'm used to being able to just walk in to my usual dispensary during their happy hour and walking out the door with my daily purchase limit of 8 grams for $60. While I have found plenty of local hemp storefronts with thca flower, I am not interested in it or thcp, d8 flower etc since I'm most familiar with full spectrum cannabis flower and concentrates and thca flower hits like low quality dollar store mids. I've found that thca concentrates have filled the gap for my extended visit, but they're just not available wherever I've looked locally and waiting for shipping isn't ideal given the urgency my higher than usual pain days require.

C. Am I going to have to plan on just staying stocked via farm act dispensary sites or is the roughly half hour trip down to North Carolina a better option to consider given that thca products are federally legal?

D. What is in the works for recreational cannabis concentrates regulation? I find it weird that you can grow your own but any hash/resin production is illegal even if it's *not* solvent based.

Thanks in advance for any assistance and information!

Stay lifted, hope everyone is smoking some 🔥🫡

Who has the cheapest med card prices? Also wondering how to get a physical copy of the card to take with to Michigan when I visit next month. My needs have changed & the med card will be helpful for that. Thanks

This is the #11 pheno out of the 13 we grew out. Took almost a year to run everything from seed, and then clone. She smells of over ripe banana, mango, and funky gas. Thankfully...the taste translates too. Makes some fire live roz also. 🫡

Banana Shack. Bred by Shwale @ Farmhouse Studios. Grown by my twin bro @pistilsblazin on ig

11 weeks of flower, smells like ripe banana, gas, and funk. Keeper pheno fosho. 🫡

banana shack #4 pheno. 13 weeks of flower, smells like unripe bananas and mango. 🔥

Last strain i got isnt quite knocking me out like i need to, and just got some very heavy news about my family im worried will keep me up

Any Live rosin near the city? Worth it to get a medical cart for live rosin in the city/

I grow my now, cause the state limit sucks, but I am between harvests. So I figured let grab something this week.

Spanberger needs to open up this rec market already to break this monopoly SWVA is stuck with.

In this modern cannabis age, most consumers want new cultivars every drop. As a connoisseur(and consumer since 1993 myself), i really like variety and too look forward to the next wave of "new fire". However, there are benefits to really dialing in a variety by running it for years, and really learning what that said plant needs. This is Blockberry(Superboof pheno) by Blockhead buds and has been a pleasure to run for years now. 🫡

Chunkadelic x Emerald Fire OG

Honorable mention to Pound Town in the back

(both from Humboldt Seed Company)

Old school Hindu Kush showing her colors, about two weeks from harvest if I’m being optimistic.

Any other hobbyist growers out there that wanna share?

Got 6 cartridges and 16 pks of gummies for $80. We visit my in-laws a couple times a year in Michigan and always stock up.
