UNPACKING: Zalympix 2026

Zalympix 2026 was a dope event. I wrote about my experience in this post. I talk about the environment, atmosphere, the marketplace and more.

A few days before Zalympix 2026

Wowser bowser! I am going to ZALYMPIX! Woot. I’ve been reading about and seeing stories for years. This being my second year as a California resident I made it a point to go. And Lord knows I can use a quick getaway before daddy daycare starts up for the summer. The California Zalympix is all […]

Great Wolf 5-23-2026

After a busy, sluggish morning, I needed a serious reset. I fired up the Puffco Peak Pro with the eyeball carb cap for a session with Z by Mattole Valley.

Summer 2026

The author recounts their quest in California to find Pluto and Grand Daddy Purp (GDP) cannabis strains. While some progress has been made in cultivation, visual quality remains lacking. The author seeks a consistent GDP that provides desired effects, taste, and appearance, and is currently growing Humboldt CSI’s GDP S1 in hopes of achieving this.

Before comparing those criteria I kind of assumed that what I liked would score high and what I didn’t would score low. I have actually discovered something else that stands […]

Quality over all

Quality over all. This part of the segment stood out to me. When I have bad product, I do not want to release it. The correction is to sell that product at a discount and inform the customer. If it is mid grade, let them know.

In the Garden

The author reflects on gardening challenges, particularly issues with light intensity and excessive defoliation, which stressed the plant during flowering. Recognizing mistakes, they acknowledge the need for better environmental management and express a desire to complete this cultivation run while learning from these experiences. The journey continues despite setbacks.
