WHEN TEMPERATURES ARE MILDER AND CONSIDERING THAT THE MORE HOURS OF SUNLIGHT THE PLANTS RECEIVE THE BETTER THE RESULTS )N INDOOR GROWS WITH ARTIFICIAL LIGHT THE BEST RESULTS CAN BE OBTAINED WITH PHOTOPERIODS OF AT LEAST HOURS OF LIGHT -ANY CANNABIS GROWERS GROW THESE PLANTS INSIDE ON CYCLES OF HOURS OF LIGHT AND HOURS OF DARKNESS THROUGHOUT THE WHOLE OF THE PLANTS LIFE WITH EXCELLENT RESULTS

} ÃÊ> `Ê ÜÃÊ ! BELATED (APPY .EW 9EAR TO EVERYONE READING THIS !ND THE 5+ GOVERNMENT HAVE KICKED THINGS OFF BY BANNING A RANGE OF DIFFERENT SUBSTANCES ) TALKED ABOUT THIS IN MY PREVIOUS COLUMN BUT AT TIME OF WRITING NOBODY REALLY KNEW WHAT WAS OR WASN T GOING TO HAPPEN .OW WE DO LEGAL HIGHS .OT ANY MORE

7ELL YES IT S COMPLETELY LEGAL BUT TRY EXPLAINING THAT TO THE POLICE OFFICER WHO HAS STOPPED YOU BECAUSE YOU STINK TO HIGH HEAVEN OF WHAT THEY RE GOING TO IMMEDIATELY ASSUME IS 3KUNK WHICH IS VERY MUCH NOT LEGAL !T THE VERY BEST

YOU LL HAVE YOUR STASH TAKEN OFF YOU

AND AT WORST YOU LL HAVE YOUR COLLAR FELT AND BE TAKEN DOWN TO THE POLICE STATION AND DETAINED PROBABLY FOR QUITE A WHILE SO THEY CAN FIGURE OUT WHAT IT IS THEY VE ACTUALLY GOT !ND IF THIS HAPPENED ON A &RIDAY OR 3ATURDAY THEN THE CHANCES ARE YOU D BE BANGED UP UNTIL THE -ONDAY !H YES 3PICE IT LOOKS SMELLS AND FEELS JUST LIKE THE REAL THING 1UITEx

!LL THE HORROR STUFF SO BELOVED OF OUR TABLOIDS '", ":0 ETC HAVE BEEN PUT ON THE CONTROLLED LIST AND THIS DOESN T COME AS ANY BIG SURPRISE AS A MIDDLE CLASS GIRL DIED AFTER TAKING SOME '", LAST YEAR AND THE DEATH OF ONE hNICEv KID IN THE 5+ SEEMS TO CARRY WITH IT MORE CLOUT THAN THE DEATHS OF GLUE SOLVENT SNIFFERS FROM RADICALLY LESS WELL OFF BACKGROUNDS !NYHOW ENOUGH OF THAT AS WE RE INTERESTED IN CANNABIS OR MORE PRECISELY CANNABIS LIKE SUBSTANCES 9ES

) M TALKING ABOUT 3PICE AND OTHER TYPES

OF hSYNTHETICv CANNABIS !S PREDICTED IN THE LAST COLUMN THESE THINGS HAVE BEEN BANNEDxNOT ONLY BANNED BUT LISTED AS #LASS " AND CARRYING WITH IT A MAXIMUM FIVE YEAR STRETCH IF CAUGHT )T S WEIRD SOMETHING IS OKAY TO POSSESS ONE DAY AND THE NEXT DAY IT S NOT )T MUST BE KIND OF LIKE WHEN PROHIBITION WAS INTRODUCED IN THE 53 ONE DAY YOU CAN HAPPILY GET BLADDERED NEXT DAY YOU RE A FELON "IZARRE NO 4HE WHOLE LEGAL SYNTHETIC CANNABIS THING WAS ALWAYS A BIT OF A MYSTERY TO ME ANYWAY ) MEAN IT LOOKS SMELLS AND APPARENTLY HAS A VERY SIMILAR EFFECT TO 3KUNK #ONSIDER THEREFORE

A HYPOTHETICAL SITUATION IT S EARLY $ECEMBER AND YOU RE ON YOUR WAY TO A PARTY AND YOU GO INTO A WINE SHOP TO PICK UP SOMETHING TO DRINK .ATURALLY YOU BUY SOME SKINS AND TEN

)N CONCLUSION THE 0OLICE 'UIDELINES ON @4ACKLING #OMMERCIAL #ANNABIS #ULTIVATION AND (EAD 3HOPS IN THE 5+ ARE JUST THAT 'UIDELINES @'UIDELINES UPON WHICH OTHERWISE UNINTELLIGENT LESS WELL INFORMED 0OLICE /FFICERS MAY ACT UPON IF THEY WISH WHEN DEALING WITH THE SUBJECT OF #ANNABIS #ULTIVATION AND (EAD 3HOPS IN THE 5+ )N THE PAST THE GUIDELINES ON THE DISTINCTION BETWEEN h0ERSONALv AND h#OMMERCIALv AMOUNTS OF CANNABIS AND THE SCALE OF CANNABIS CULTIVATION HAVE BEEN UNCLEAR )N THE LEAST THE 0OLICE 'UIDELINES DEMONSTRATE THE FACT THAT #ANNABIS #ULTIVATION IN THE 5+ IS PANDEMIC 5LTIMATELY 0OLICE /FFICERS WILL STILL MAKE THEIR JUDGMENTS BASED UPON THE CONTEXTUAL EVIDENCE AVAILABLE AT THE SCENE AND OF COURSE WHETHER OR NOT THEY HAVE READ THEIR 0OLICE 'UIDELINE MANUAL BEFORE INVESTIGATING ANY CASE

(EAD 3HOPS 'ROW 3HOPS !DVERTISERS

AND 7HOLESALE 3UPPLIERS BASED IN THE 5+ WILL !,, NEED TO @CLEAN UP THEIR IMAGE IN FUTURE SHOULD THEY WISH FOR THE INDUSTRY THAT SUPPORTS THEM

CIGARETTES 9OU ABSOLUTELY STINK OF THE PACKAGE OF 3PICE YOU VE GOT IN YOUR POCKET BUT HEY THAT S OKAY BECAUSE IT S LEGAL RIGHT

$R $EE

TO CONTINUE ,EGITIMIZING THE ROLE OF THE @(EAD 3HOP AND THE @'ROW 3HOP WITHIN CONTEMPORARY SOCIETY HAS ALWAYS BEEN A STRUGGLE "Y AIMING TO CONTINUE WORKING AS HORTICULTURAL LEADERS IN THE HOME GROWING REVOLUTION AND BY CATERING FOR THE INCREASING NUMBER OF PEOPLE THAT HONESTLY WANT TO GROW THEIR OWN CROPS AT HOME THEN LITTLE SHALL CHANGE 4HOSE SHOPS HAPPY TO STOCK A RANGE OF SEEDS AND THE SUPPORTING LITERATURE AND EQUIPMENT SHOULD BY ANALOGY BE EXEMPT FROM FURTHER INVESTIGATION !T LEAST ACCORDING TO THE GUIDELINES PUT DOWN BY THE 0OLICE 'UIDELINES

3O THE POINT IS THIS IN SOME RESPECTS THE GOVERNMENT HAS PROBABLY DONE ALL YOU 3PICE ABUSERS A FAVOUR AS NOW THERE S NO MISTAKING WHERE EVERYONE STANDS "UT OF COURSE EVEN AS ) WRITE THIS THERE

ARE BATHROOM AND KITCHEN CHEMISTS EVERYWHERE BEAVERING AWAY LOOKING FOR A SLIGHTLY DIFFERENT DESIGN OF DRUG THAT RETAINS THE EFFECT BUT ISN T ACTUALLY BANNED !ND SO IT S GOING TO GO ON AND ON ROUND IN CIRCLES *UST AS AN ENDNOTE TO ALL OF THIS ) READ A FUNNY THING WHEN THE BAN CAME IN JUST AFTER #HRISTMAS SCIENTISTS POLITICIANS ETC HAD APPARENTLY BEEN CONCERNED FOR A NUMBER OF YEARS THAT THESE THINGS WERE BEING SOLD FREELY OVER THE INTERNET IN SPITE OF EVIDENCE THAT THEY COULD BE HARMFUL TO HEALTH IT SAID 3ORRY TO BE $R +ILLJOY BUT THE FACT OF THE MATTER IS THAT ) CAN WALK INTO PRETTY MUCH ANY SUPERMARKET IN THE COUNTRY AND BUY TWO LEGAL SUBSTANCES KNOWN TO BE VERY HARMFUL TO HEALTH INDEED ) LL LET YOU FIGURE OUT WHAT ) M TALKING ABOUT FOR YOURSELVES !S EVERxHAPPY TOKING #ONTACT ME AT DIMETHYLTRYPTAMINE HOTMAIL COM IF YOU WANT TO CHAT ABOUT THIS OR ANYTHING ELSE FURTHER

DISCOVERED THAT IN ORDER TO GROW GOOD FAT STICKY SMELLY POTENT BUDS YOU NEEDED SEVERAL THINGS AND OF ALL THESE THINGS PROBABLY THE MOST IMPORTANT WAS PATIENCE 4HIS WISE OLD FELLAH WOULD TELL YOU THAT ON AVERAGE TO GET A REASONABLE CROP OF REASONABLE STRENGTH REASONABLY TASTY BUD YOU WOULD HAVE TO WAIT A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME !ND IF YOU WANTED A GREATER CROP WITH A GREATER STRENGTH AND TASTE YOU WOULD HAVE TO WAIT A GREATER AMOUNT OF TIME !S TIME HAS PASSED CROPPING TIMES HAVE GOT SHORTER AND SHORTER THIS IS BECAUSE OF MANY FACTORS MODERN FERTILIZERS ADVANCES IN LAMP TECHNOLOGY AND IMPORTANTLY THE GROWING WEALTH OF INFORMATION OUT THERE ON GROWING YOUR OWN .O ONE HAS TO GROW IN IGNORANCE

AND UNLIKE THE WIZENED OLD MAN YOU DON T HAVE TO LEARN THROUGH TRIAL AND ERROR OVER DECADES "UT EVEN SO OFTEN TO GET A FAST CROP YOU HAVE TO PUT SUCH SMALL PLANTS IN TO FLOWER

THAT UNLESS YOU VE GOT DOZENS AND DOZENS ON THE GO YOU RE NOT GOING TO GET A CROP THAT WILL MAKE YOU GRIN INSANELY %VEN A FAST DAY BLOOMER FROM SEED OR CLONE NEEDS DAYS VEG TO MAKE IT WORTHWHILE SO YOU RE STILL LOOKING AT DAYS TO HARVEST !ND UNLESS YOU VE TAKEN THE TIME TO SELECT YOUR CLONES SEEDS CAREFULLY YOU COULD END UP WITH MUCH LESS FROM YOUR @SPEEDY HARVEST THAN YOU HAD HOPED FOR )T S A BIT LIKE FAST SEX IT SATISF IES THE @MOMENT BUT GIVES NO LONG TERM PLEASURE /F ALL THE THINGS THE OLD MAN LEARNED THROUGH HIS LIFETIME OF GROWING GOOD WEED ONE FACT REMAINS A CONSTANT GENETICS )F YOU WANT DEVASTATING BUDS

YOU NEED DEVASTATING GENETICS IF YOU WANT HEAVY YIELDS YOU NEED HEAVY GENETICS AND IF YOU WANT SUPER STRONG

SUPER STICKY SUPER FAST CROPS YOU NEED 2OYAL 1UEEN 3EEDS %ASY "UD FEMINIZED FROM 2OYAL 1UEEN 3EEDS IS QUITE SIMPLY BLOODY AMAZING (AVING NOW TESTED THREE DIFFERENT AUTO FLOWERERS %ASY "UD

THEY ARE SUSCEPTIBLE TO SPIDER MITE /F ALL THE DIFFERENT PLANTS IN THE VEG ROOM

THE MITES SEEMED TO CONGREGATE ON THE %ASY "UD "ECAUSE THE %ASY "UD SPENDS THE BEST PART OF ITS LIFE FLOWERING RAPIDLY IT S NOT EASY TO SPRAY THE PLANTS FOR MITES SO THEY GOT A LUKEWARM SHOWER UPSIDE DOWN ONCE EVERY THREE DAYS FOR NINE DAYS 4HAT GOT RID OF THE LITTLE BASTARDS 3ECONDLY PROVIDING THEY ARE WELL WATERED AND FED THEY DON T SEEM TO MIND SMALL POTS ) HAD TWO IN INCH POTS AND IN A SHORT INCH POT AND APART FROM HAVING TO KEEP A CLOSE EYE ON THE WATERING THEY DID VERY NEARLY AS WELL AS THE ONES IN DEEP INCH POTS ) HAD ONE IN A INCH POT BUT ON INSPECTING THE SOIL AFTER CROPPING ) FELT IT WAS A BIT OF A WASTE )N ITS SHORT LIFE IT HADN T HAD TIME TO FILL OUT THE POT WELL

AND WAS SUBSEQUENTLY A BITCH TO WATER !S VIGOROUS AS THEY ARE %ASY "UD DON T SEEM TO LAY THAT SUPER DENSE MAT OF ROOTS ASSOCIATED WITH SOME VIGOROUS PLANTS 7HITE 7IDOW FOR EXAMPLE CAN BE VERY VIGOROUS IN ITS ROOT DEVELOPMENT AND IF YOU DON T RE POT IT IT WILL REPAY YOU BY BREAKING THE BOTTOM OF YOUR PLASTIC FLOWER POTS TRYING TO @PUNCH IT S WAY OUT 3O AN ICH OR INCH POT SEEMS FINE FOR THE SHORT TIME THEY ARE ALIVE 4HIRDLY THEY CERTAINLY DIDN T SEEM FAZED

BY THE @FURNACE THAT WAS THE VEG ROOM OCCASIONALLY THIS SUMMER &OURTHLY

AROUND G PER PLANT SEEMS TO BE WHAT THEY GIVE REGARDLESS OF WHAT YOU DO 4HE WORST ) GOT WAS G AND THE BEST WAS JUST SHY OF G BUT OUT OF ALL TEN PLANTS

GAVE VERY CLOSE TO G

SEVEN ) GAVE THEM A MEASURE FEED OF #ANNA 4ERRA 6EGA AND THEN A FULL DOSE EVERY OTHER WATERING

!FGHAN SMELL BUT WITH A MUCH SWEETER ACCOMPANYING ODOUR A BIT LIKE FRESH CUT HONEYDEW MELON

!PART FROM A RE POT UP TO INCH POTS ALL WAS GOING WELL ) HAD BEEN KEEPING THE PLANTS AS CLOSE AS ) DARED TO THE LAMP BUT EVEN SO THEY WERE A LITTLE STRETCHY MAYBE TOO MUCH .ITROGEN EARLY ON

"Y DAY THE BIGGER OF THE TWO HAD FILLED OUT WAS COVERED IN RESIN AND LOOKED LIKE IT WAS STARTING TO FINISH SHOCK SO FROM THEN ON SHE ONLY GOT PURE WATER FOR DINNER (ER SISTER ON THE OTHER HAND WAS STILL IN FULL FLOW AND PUTTING WEIGHT ON NICELY "Y DAY THE BIGGEST ONE HAD FINISHED

OF HER FLOWERS WERE BROWN AND A QUICK GLIMPSE WITH A X MAGNIFIER SHOWED THE RESIN GLANDS WERE MILKY AND DROOPING 3O DOWN SHE CAME

/N DAY ) SWAPPED THEIR @VEG FEED FOR A BLOOM FEED #ANNA 4ERRA &LORES

AND THEN NOW ON THEY WERE FED A FULL RECOMMENDED DOSE EVERY WATERING /N DAY THE FIRST FLOWERS STARTED SHOWING ON ONE OF THE PLANTS AND ABOUT NOW ) CAREFULLY POTTED UP AGAIN TO INCH POTS -ANY PEOPLE WOULD SAY ITS WRONG TO KEEP POTTING UP AS IT SHOCKS THE PLANT

AND CONSIDERING THE SHORT LIFE OF THESE PLANTS EVERY MOMENT COUNTS "UT IF YOU ARE CAREFUL AND CONSIDERATE YOU CAN DO IT WITH LITTLE OR NO SHOCK AND WHEN YOUR VEG ROOM IS AS BUSY AS MINE CAN BE

SPACE IS VALUABLE /N DAY AS THE VEG ROOM WAS HOME TO FLOWERING %ASY "UD ) PUT IN AN EXTRA WATT SODIUM TO COMPLIMENT THE WATT - (ALIDE LUCKILY WINTER TEMPERATURES ALLOW MORE WATTS WITHOUT CREATING HEAT PROBLEMS .OW RUNNING AT WATTS PER SQUARE METRE THE %ASY "UD WENT MAD GAINING SIZE RAPIDLY ONE GROWING MUCH FASTER THAN THE OTHER 4HE BIGGER PLANT WAS ALSO FLOWERING MUCH FASTER THAN HER SISTER

&IVE DAYS LATER AT DAYS THE SECOND %ASY "UD FINISHED !T THE SAME TIME ) PLANTED THE %ASY "UD ) ALSO PLANTED SOME @1UICK /NE ANOTHER FEMINISED AUTO FROM 213 ) INCLUDED A FEW PICS OF THEM WITH THIS REPORT (OPEFULLY MY NEXT REPORT WILL COVER THEM 1UICK /NE 3O AFTER EACH OF THE %ASY "UD HAD BEEN ALLOWED DAYS DRYING IT WAS TIME FOR A SAMPLE !S ) HAD ALREADY GROWN AND SMOKED %ASY "UD EARLIER IN THE YEAR ) WAS REALLY LOOKING FORWARDS TO TOKING ON IT AGAIN AS THE TWO DIFFERENT PHENOS HAD DISTINCTLY DIFFERENT HIGHS 4HE TIGHT

RESIN SOAKED NUGGETY BUDS FROM THE FASTEST PLANT SMELL SICKLY SWEET WHEN CRUMBLED WITH A SLIGHT HINT OF ROTTING MEAT )T IS HAS A THICK FROSTING OF CRYSTALS AND IS A PLEASURE TO @SKIN UP WITH

"Y DAY BOTH PLANTS WERE IN FULL SWING 4HE SMALLER SLOWER PLANT HAD BEEN FLOWERING SO FAST IT HAD ALMOST CAUGHT UP WITH ITS BIG SISTER

7HEN LIT THE WHOLE ROOM FILLS WITH THICK PUNGENT BLUE SMOKE THAT HANGS FOR AGES 4HERE S NO HIDING THIS ONE ONCE LIT EVERYBODY KNOWS 4HE HIGH IS AS YOU D EXPECT FROM THE SMELL A FULL BODY STONE THAT ALLOWS YOU TO WATCH ANY OLD SHIT ON TELLY FOR HOURS )T S A VERY LONG LASTING STONE AND AFTER SMOKING IT FOR A FEW DAYS YOU DO START TO WAKE UP IN THE MORNING AND FIND ! YOU RE STILL STONED

AND " IT IS IN FACT THE AFTERNOON

)T DOES APPEAR THAT THE PLANTS SHOW TWO DISTINCTLY DIFFERENT FLOWERING PATTERNS PHENOTYPES /NE IS VERY RESINOUS

WITH TIGHT NUGGETY BUDS WITH A DISTINCT !FGHAN OR (OLLANDS (OPE SORT OF SMELL 4HE OTHER SLOWER TYPE APPEARED FAR LESS RESINOUS AND HAS MUCH MORE @ELONGATED AIRY BUDS )T TOO HAS AN

4HE OTHER ONE HAS LESS DENSE BUDS BUT THEY ARE STILL WEIGHTY THERE IS PLENTY OF RESIN BUT IT S MORE IN THE BUD THAN ON IT IF YOU KNOW WHAT ) MEAN 2ATHER THAN A DRY FROSTY BUD IT S QUITE STICKY INSIDE EVEN AFTER CURING AND IS WELL CAPABLE OF WRECKING ANY JOINT YOU TRY AND STONEDLY SKIN UP ALMOST EVERYTHING

"Y DAY ONE PLANT THE BIGGEST WAS FLOWERING AT A MAD RATE AND BY DAY ) DECIDED TO GIVE A 0+ MIX IN ADDITION TO THEIR NORMAL FEED FOR FOUR WATERINGS UNTIL DAY

/VERALL PLANTS YIELDED AROUND G )N DAYS 7HEN AUTOMATIC FLOWERERS FIRST BECAME POPULAR ALL ) COULD THINK ABOUT WAS THE HEADACHES WE USED TO GET YEARS AGO WHEN SMOKING TOO MUCH OF ANYTHING CROSSED WITH A 2UDERALIS AND HAVING GROWN AGAIN YEARS AGO 2UDERALIS )NDICA INDOORS AND OUT ) COULDN T HELP BUT REMEMBER THE DISAPPOINTMENT AT THE END RESULT

ALTHOUGH BACK THEN IT WAS PROBABLY AS MUCH MY FAULT "UT IN THE LAST YEAR ) HAVE BEEN CONVERTED .OT ONLY IS THERE NO EFFORT INVOLVED IN THE GROW WITH AUTOS WHICH GIVES YOU MORE TIME WITH YOUR @SPECIAL LADY S "UT THE GROW RESULTS ARE GOOD

THE YIELD RESULTS FOR SUCH SMALL PLANTS BRILLIANT AND THE SMOKE RESULTS ARE OUTSTANDING (AVING NOW GROWN EIGHT DIFFERENT FEMINISED VARIETIES FROM 213 ) CAN HONESTLY SAY THEY HAVE BEEN ONE OF THE MOST CONSISTENTLY BRILLIANT SEED COMPANIES ) VE HAD THE PLEASURE TO GROW FROM #HEERS CHAPS

3O %ASY "UD REALLY IS AN @EASY BUD )T IS AN EXCELLENT STRAIN FOR ANYONE WITH LITTLE OR NO EXPERIENCE OF GROWING 3OME PEOPLE ) VE KNOWN OVER THE YEARS HAVE EVENTUALLY SHIED AWAY FROM THE GROWING EXPERIENCE BECAUSE AMONGST OTHER THINGS THEY ARE JUST NOT VERY GOOD AT IT "UT %ASY "UD CHANGES ALL THAT BECAUSE IT LL PUT UP WITH @MISTAKES LIKE OVER UNDER FERTILISATION EXCESSIVE HEAT

BUGS AND TO SOME EXTENT OVER UNDER WATERING !LSO THIS STRAIN YIELDS JUST AS WELL WHEN LEFT TO GROW NATURALLY AS IT DOES WHEN YOU @PINCH OUT EARLY ON

SO AGAIN IT S IDEAL FOR THOSE WITH LITTLE EXPERIENCE OR A @PHOBIA OF @PINCHING OUT AND THE LIKE ) HAVE A FRIEND WHO ILLUSTRATES THE POINT !N INVETERATE PISS ARTIST AND STONER HE D KILLED MORE CROPS AND RISKED BREAKING HIS NECK ON WOBBLY STEP LADDERS SO MANY TIMES HE D GIVEN UP GROWING ! WHILE BACK ) GAVE HIM AN 213 CATALOGUE AND NOW NOT ONLY IS HE BACK GROWING SUCCESSFULLY HE S HE S BECOME A TOTAL AUTO EVANGELIST -Y POINT IS THAT IF AN ANCIENT INSANE

TOTALLY OUT THERE PERMANENTLY PISSED UP STONER LOVE HIM TO BITS REALLY WHO GROWS IN A PLACE ABOUT AS SAFE AND ACCESSIBLE AS #HERNOBYL AND WHO

THROUGH TOTAL AND UTTER USELESSNESS KILLS PRETTY MUCH EVERY THING HE TOUCHES CAN NOW SUCCESSFULLY GROW AUTO FLOWERING STRAINS THEN IN THEORY SO CAN ANY BODY 7HETHER YOU VE NEVER GROWN BEFORE

AND HAVE VERY LITTLE OR NO KNOWLEDGE AT ALL OR YOU HAVE GROWN BUT FAILED TO ACHIEVE THAT ALL IMPORTANT @GRIN FACTOR AT HARVEST YOU WILL ALMOST CERTAINLY SUCCEED WITH FEMINISED %ASY "UD IF NOT ALL THE AUTOS FROM 213 5NTIL THE NEXT TIME BE COOL Y ALL 3TEVE 3EXY $AWN

GIVEN THAT AUTOMATICS HAVE THEIR OWN

VERY CHARACTERISTIC AROMA THAT TENDS TO BE LOST IN SUBSEQUENT CROSSES IN ORDER THAT BY IMPROVING OUR ORIGINAL 2OADRUNNER WE HAVE SUCCESSFULLY MOVED AWAY FROM THE ORIGINAL CHARACTERISTIC AROMA AND FLAVOUR OF AUTOMATICS !ND THIS SAME IMPROVEMENT ALSO APPLIES TO THE POWER OF THE NEW 2OADRUNNER )) 4HE EFFECT IS CONSIDERABLE n MORE INTENSE THAN IS USUAL FOR AUTOMATICS OPENING THE FLOODGATES TO USING AUTOMATICS FOR MEDICINAL PURPOSES )N ADDITION TO THIS WE CAN DESCRIBE ITS OVERALL EFFECTS AS A BLEND OR COMBINATION OF PHYSICAL AND MENTAL BUT WITH THE ADDITION OF A @RELAXANT EFFECT TYPICAL OF AUTOMATICS AND WHICH CAN BE PERCEIVED IN MUSCLE RELAXATION #ONSIDERING ALL THE VIRTUES WE HAVE DISCUSSED HERE SEEN AS A RESULT OF THIS IMPROVEMENT ON THE ORIGINAL 2OADRUNNER

3ECONDLY THE HOLE THAT SITS CENTRAL ON THE COCONUT CAN NOW BE PUNCTURED WITH A BRIDLE AND THE MILK CAN BE REMOVED 4HE FRESHNESS OF THE MILK WHEN DRUNK IS A GOOD SIGN MEANING THE COCONUT IS NOT OLD MOLDY

THEN THE INNER FLESH OF THE COCONUT CAN BE REMOVED VIA THE HOLE AT THE TOP )T CAN TAKE SEVERAL HOURS TO REMOVE THE FLESH USING A SCREWDRIVER 4HE IDEA IS TO CAREFULLY SEPARATE THE FLESH FROM THE SHELL

BEFORE CHOPPING THE FLESH INTO CHUNKS SMALL ENOUGH TO REMOVE VIA THE HOLES 4HERE ARE SEVERAL SHORTCUTS THAT HAVE BEEN USED TO HELP REMOVE THE FLESH INCLUDING DRYING SOAKING THE INSIDE WITH SALT WATER

EXPOSING THE FLESH TO A COLONY OF ANTS
