Cannabis home-growing 101: How to harvest your marijuana plants in Colorado

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 08:59:21 GMT

If you joined us in the spring to learn how to grow your own cannabis at home, you know by now that cultivating beautifully buddy plants is only half the experience.Fall is known as Croptober among commercial outdoor growers because it’s that special time of year when marijuana is ready for harvest. The same goes for homegrown plants.Boulder resident Sean Roby has been growing cannabis both commercially and at home for the better part of three decades. While the exact time for harvest varies by strain, he said the magic window for most is early- to mid-October. But there are other telltale signs to look for, such as an amber color in the trichomes, which are typically viewable with some sort of magnifying glass.“Generally, when you look at the flower you’re going to see that the hairs that were all white have now started turning red or orange or amber,” Roby said. “It’s just really crisp and hard to the touch and pulsing with resin.”Longmont home grower Ben Owens agrees, sayin...

Communities’ quest to shut down aging oil, gas wells could test state’s new regulations

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 08:59:21 GMT

Larry and Mary Bosaw, who live near Fort Lupton, have something in common with municipal officials and landowners in Frederick and Dacono as well as state regulators: They want K.P. Kauffman Co. to take care of the problems created by its oil and gas operations.The way the state tackles the problems under new rules mandated by a sweeping redo of oil and gas regulations could shape how the industry is governed going forward.Larry, who recently retired from his construction business, said K.P. Kauffman, or KPK, responded when he called in July 2022 about an oil spill on the nearly 6-acre property where he and his wife live. The company found the problem with the pipeline, dug up and removed contaminated soil, tested the couple’s well water and dug more dirt.More than a year later, the Bosaws have a pit more than 10 feet deep and about 40 feet by 50 feet. What they don’t have is an idea of when the gaping hole will be filled in or when they can let their neighbors use their...

Uzbekistan: Parliament and women’s participation in it

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 08:59:21 GMT

In recent years, as a result of favorable conditions created primarily by the Head of State, a large-scale work has been carried out in order to provide for comprehensive support for the rights and legitimate interests of our women, writes Tursunboyeva Saodat.It is no wonder that the President of the Republic of Uzbekistan Shavkat Mirziyoyev in his speech at the 20th plenary meeting of the Senate of the Oliy Majlis (Parliament) of the Republic of Uzbekistan said: “It is no coincidence that nowadays every woman is obliged to be an active and proactive participant in democratic processes, and not an observer.”In accordance with Article 58 of the Constitution of the Republic of Uzbekistan, adopted this year in a new edition, equality of women and men is established. It stipulates that the state provides women and men with equal rights and opportunities in managing the affairs of society and the state, as well as in other spheres of social and public life.41 regulatory documents (2 Laws...

Nobel economics prize given for research on workplace gender gap

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 08:59:21 GMT

By DAVID KEYTON, MICHAEL CASEY and MIKE CORDER | Associated PressSTOCKHOLM (AP) — The Nobel economics prize was awarded Monday to Harvard University professor Claudia Goldin for research that has advanced the understanding of the gender gap in the labor market.The announcement went a tiny step to closing the Nobel committee’s own gender gap: Goldin is just the third woman to win the prize out of 93 economics laureates.She has studied 200 years of women’s participation in the workplace, showing that despite continued economic growth, women’s pay did not continuously catch up to men’s and a divide still exists despite women gaining higher levels of education than men.“I’ve always been an optimist. But when I look at the numbers, I think something has happened in America, that we, in the 1990s, our labor force participation rate for women was the highest in the world, and now it isn’t the highest in the world,” Goldin told The Associated Press.“We have to step back and ask questions ab...

49ers defense, Fred Warner make a statement in dominating Dallas

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 08:59:21 GMT

SANTA CLARA — Fred Warner took the podium and let out a satisfied exhale.“That ain’t half bad,” Warner said following the 49ers’ 42-10 win over the Dallas Cowboys before a packed house Sunday night at Levi’s Stadium.Through four games, the 49ers defense had been good. Sometimes very good. What they hadn’t been yet is great. That box was checked in a big way with the rest of the league and the entire country watching on national television.It was Warner, a reigning first-team All-Pro middle linebacker, having his signature performance of the season and one of the best of his career against a Cowboys team that will likely be in the postseason.Warner did just about everything a defender can do, recording a sack, an interception, forcing a fumble and leading the 49ers with eight tackles. He defended both run and pass, and as usual, served as the vocal conscience of his unit.If there was any question whether Warner was comparable to Patrick Willi...
