Drunken Mini-me

Got into the homemade mead.
When da cat's away...

My Cdot mail is hosed.
Got summat stuck in it's craw, so I get no head's-up by e-mail.
Gotta check by hand.

I notice that you've been off giving good advice!

Aloha,

The fianchetto is best posed late in the opening.
Once all the Ps have been dotted, and da eyes have been crossed.
And is best from the queen's side with a king's side castle

We're not here yet, but...

Why?

I see that O-O keeps the king on black, and the QR is on black....is there more to this?

P - Q3

[DreadedHermie]

I've searched this subject on this site.

Lotsa hot air and talkin' out nether orifices. No facts or experiments. Just balloon juice.

Anyway, got a friend in the land of plant number limits. The guy's worked with fruit trees before, even knows the names of the various cutting/tying techniques for grafting off the toppa his head. (That's a convoluted one, lol) He's interested in maintaining mother plants on which he can "store" different genetics. Figures he can graft branches and create "Frankenmoms" where he can maintain several different strains on each, long term clone supply.

I told him I'd look into it, but I'm not finding reliable info. What little discussion of the idea I can find seems focused on it as a potential alternative to revegging, but it's generally dismissed as impractical for that because of the recovery time involved.

At this point, I'm ready to tell the guy just go ahead and :weedpoke:, and let us know what he learns. You got any poop on this technique? Seems like I'd be a hot topic of discussion amongst those with number limits but lotsa good genetics.

Quite a bit more.

The knight is the cornerstone of the castle's defense.
A queenside fianchetto gets right up that knights nose and it's worth trading my white bishop to dismantle the defense!
(Though leaving that threat in place for as long as possible is often rewarding too.)
This is what makes initial pawn positions in the center critical to white's defense.
You saw what happens without those pawns.
Not to mention that white's bishop, standing on the king's toes, invites back rank attacks.
It only takes one rogue rook for a checkmate when the king's escape is blocked!

It's still too early to plot, so.
I'm gonna stick to a modified Nimzo indian defense.

Good morning!

All da stuff I read about grafting cannabis was long ago and they were trying to graft Hops onto cannabis root for stealth resin production.:wtf:
Big fiasco!
It seems, the phytochrome state is mobile and I just read a claim that grafting from a flowering plant will put the host into flower.
Don't know that I "buy" that.

Auxin levels and mobile element levels will vary as well depending on when and where-from, one takes the cuts.
It's tricky business.
Way over my head, so I'm hoping that folks with serious skills are trying it as we type.:jointsmile:

""Frankenmoms" where he can maintain several different strains on each, long term clone supply. "

He's still going to have ageing problems.
The clock does not stop on da mommas
they get older and each cutting is older too.
And, as you know cannabis will eventually get fed-up and flower regardless of the night length.
That, or die of old age.
Not sure how grafting young-uns to old roots plays out either.

In short? Ah dunno!

I agree, encourage him to start a thread and get to pokin':weedpoke::thumbsup:

Aloha

Dang. I meant QB. Figgered a black bishop might be a bit better at defending a king on the same color. Makes no difference to da rook.
