Very cool.
I know of one real commercial farmer in the area, he is on Seneca Lake, Hanson Point
I have chatted with him several times about growing
His setup is just awesome, right down to every single plant has an irrigation drip

Oh, and I'm not sure what specifically your reference means - looked a lot like some thing i was rather familiar with in my younger days - but I will say this, I'm always expecting to come home, only to find a drug enforcement helicopter hovering over my house.
BTW- they are in the same genus - The genus Cannabis was formerly placed in the Nettle (Urticaceae) or Mulberry (Moraceae) family, but is now considered along with hops (Humulus sp.) to belong to the Hemp family (Cannabaceae).

Does this mean that Triple-H now stands for "Hood's Hellacious Hops"?

Welcome back Cone Mark. Glad you had a great time

That is a ton of roadkill you accumulated

I wonder if they have another Type R up their sleeve for all places other than here

Just eliminate 2 doors, and presto...
