The Cult of Franklin

 The newest CannabiSL limited edition, FRANKLIN OG, comes to SL as a low potency, fast growing outdoor varieties. It will shower your grow with piles of "Franklins" with its RAINING BUCKS FX.

In the strange world of American cannabis law, the RL counterpart of Franklin OG has a special place. Charitably described as "brick weed," it is legal industrial hemp with less than 0.3% Delta-9 THC. Delta-9 is the cannabinoid that gets people baked. So Franklin OG is basically the sort of hemp that gets cooked into the CBD and derivatives stuff they sell in convenience stores. However, enterprising growers discovered that Franklin OG has an extremely high THCA concentration. THCA is a so-called "related cannabinoid" like CBD, but it's not Delta-9, so its "federally legal." And as it sits in the bud, THCA won't bake anybody. The twist is that when heated (like burnt at the end of a blunt) THCA converts into ... you guessed it, Delta-9 THC. 

Nobody is exactly sure how Franklin OG got its name. Perhaps it comes from the "Founding Father" tradition: Jefferson and Washington were known hemp growers, so why not Ben Franklin, too. Another possitibility is that it originated near Franklin, Tennessee, just outside Nashville. Tennessee is ground zero for "Cult of Franklin" hemp growing, so that might work too.

Either way, FRANKLIN OG is on Marketplace now! Regular two-seed packs are L$420, and ten-seed bulk packs are L$1800. It's extremely possible that our shipping department actually put eleven seeds in the bulk packs -- in addition to the guaranteed male you get with bulk packs -- so you're looking at over L$500 savings compared with the regular seed pack! For a limited time... Only on SL Marketplace!

P.S. Franklin OG is the first release of the 4.19.925 scrips update. This is a very minor upgrade that fixes some wonky behavior with the sensemilla 'joint giver' feature. This pack includes the 4.19.925 CannabiSL Update Transmogrifier (CSLUT) HUD. Again, this is a minor update, but bringing your plants to this version will make them function 100%. HUDs will be distributed periodically on the inworld Growers & Breeders Group.

Lunar New Year LE & a Few Random Notes

 

DRAGON BREATH with DRAGON DANCE FX

NEW LIMITED EDITION PLANT! 

It's Chinese New Year (aka Lunar New Year) & time for the first LE of 2023... DRAGON BREATH, a medium-large, very fast growing, very high potency outdoor variety with DRAGON DANCE FX. 

Seed packs are available exclusively on Marketplace at the ḈḁṇṇḁḇḭṦḼ store.

Regular two-seed packs are L$420. Ten-seed bulk packs are L$2000, a savings of L$100 compared to the regular seed pack price plus one of the seeds in bulk packs is guaranteed male!

AND A FEW MORE THINGS...

The current stable version for ḈḁṇṇḁḇḭṦḼ plants is 4.19.921. This was released over a year ago, about the time that Gleaux left us. I'm aware of a couple of minor glitches -- they don't affect growing & breeding at all -- and I've been trying to solve them. They're the last vestiges of the problems we had when LL moved their servers "to the cloud." I'm working to resolve these, but they affect only shake & sensi bricks so most growers don't notice.

Updating older breeding lines to 4.19.921 involves using the latest HUD (v4.20211125) in CSLUT mode. Older plants may not pass FX properly after updating. At this time, FX have to be worked back into updated breeding lines from males. (Older males will work fine without updating.) There are a few old-timers on the ḈḁṇṇḁḇḭṦḼ Growers & Breeders Group who know how this works. It's similar to passing a Version 2 foliage forward, for those who remember that far back!

If updating seems like too much trouble, remember that using auxin to speed up growth & get a chance for higher yield females, or mutagen to enhance your odds of dwarf, giant, superweed & ultra fast plants, or even color coding the hovertext aren't available in older versions. And with the "cloud" issues, some older versions may not harvest properly at all. I do keep small test grows going at the double secret Utility Muffin Research Lab & I'm currently focusing on older version plants. 

But I'm a crappy customer service person, LOL! I also don't do well setting up auctions or managing sales plots. The LEs come out less frequently, in part because I don't have snappy ideas & much of an eye for "art." That was what dear Gleaux did best.

Long story made short: The ḈḁṇṇḁḇḭṦḼ Growers & Breeders Group is the best place for questions you may have. We don't have CSRs any more, but there are still growers out there who have far, far more experience than I do! (Seriously!) And if you have ideas for LEs or products, I'm best contacted by email -- djeaux@gmail.com

Also, a few growers have expressed interest in auctions. Unless things get silly, anyone organizing auctions is free to post in the ḈḁṇṇḁḇḭṦḼ Growers & Breeders Group. All I ask is that notices be sent only once or twice a day & that they be related to ḈḁṇṇḁḇḭṦḼ. No club notices or sales for other products (weed or not), please! If you have any questions or maybe want an exception to send notices for a special event, please email me.

Happy Growing! It's 4:20 somewhere!

Speed Bumps

Last week, long-time CSL growet, staff member & dear friend Stripkitten Parx left SL. Since she kindly hosted the store, ḈḁṇṇḁḇḭṦL is temporarily homeless. For the interim, consumables like Liquid Plant Food systems, Auxin-Mutagen Combo Kits & refills will be available on Marketplace.

ḈḁṇṇḁḇḭṦL is based on an out-world database hosted on a website that I've operated for over 20 years (djeaux.com).  I don't plan to give up the domain name any time soon. In other words, plants will continue to grow, et cetera, et cetera, until Linden Labs makes another arbitrary change to the scripting engine. If that doesn't make sense, don't worry about it. If it does, drop me a line - djeaux@gmail.com.

The Fairy Princess Has Flown To The Sunset

The Fairy Princess

Gloria Delicioso, the mother of ḈḁṇṇḁḇḭṦḼ & the artistic heart of our products, passed away on Friday, October 8, 2021. 

She loved the ḈḁṇṇḁḇḭṦḼ Family, delighted in decorating sales areas for new releases & believed in magic. She came up with the ideas for most of our Limited Editions & pushed Djeaux to make the plants "just so."

Gleaux was a fairy princess. Second Life was a brighter place because of her. She will be sorely missed.
