As the idyllic Michigan landscape transforms into a canvas of vibrant autumn hues, cannabis enthusiasts have an additional reason to embrace the season – it's Croptober! This annual phenomenon is the golden hour for cannabis growers and consumers alike. But what exactly is Croptober and why should you be excited? Let's delve in.
The term "Croptober" is a fusion of 'cannabis harvest' and 'October'. It's the period when the outdoor cannabis plants, which are annual by nature, bloom and indicate readiness for harvest. These plants respond to the diminishing daylight hours by flowering, a survival instinct to reproduce.
Interestingly, while indoor cultivators might control lighting to expedite the blooming phase, outdoor cannabis champions sustainability. Not only can outdoor plants grow to be double the size of their indoor counterparts, but they also consume just half the energy, underlining their eco-friendly nature.
There's a reason Croptober is dubbed the best time to purchase weed:
Freshness Personified: The cannabis harvested in Croptober is the epitome of freshness. Most products display their harvest date, allowing you to gauge its newness. The hallmarks of freshness are a robust aroma, lush buds, and brilliant colors – all indicative of premium-grade cannabis.
Diverse Choices: Thanks to the bountiful harvest, you'll be spoiled for choice with a plethora of strains and products. No matter your preference, Croptober ensures that your beloved strains are likely available.
Attractive Deals: Croptober brings a deluge of promotions and discounts, courtesy of the fresh influx. It's the perfect season to replenish your stash or experiment with new products without straining your wallet.
Enhanced Experience: Fresh cannabis promises a heightened experience both in terms of potency and flavor. With cannabinoids and terpenes at their zenith, expect a rich and immersive cannabis session.
Ensuring the freshness of your purchase during Croptober is a cinch:
Now that you have your fresh batch, maintaining its freshness becomes paramount:
Limit Light: Cannabis deteriorates swiftly with light exposure. Always opt for dark, opaque containers.
Regulate Humidity: Maintain a relative humidity (RH) between 55%-65%. This prevents mold proliferation while retaining the moisture of your cannabis. Using humidity packs can be beneficial.
Optimal Temperature: A cool, dark storage space with temperatures between 55℉-75℉ is ideal. Fluctuating temperatures can compromise the cannabinoid and terpene integrity.
Limit Air Contact: Prolonged air exposure can transform THC into CBN, a compound with muted effects. Employ air-tight containers to ensure the longevity of your cannabis's potency.
In conclusion, as Michigan's foliage transitions into fall, Croptober brings an added layer of excitement for cannabis aficionados. Whether you're a cultivator witnessing the fruits of your labor or a consumer hunting for the freshest products, this season is truly a cannabis celebration. Happy Croptober!

In a shocking twist of fate, beloved Michigan musician Egypt Covington lost her life due to a catastrophic marijuana robbery gone wrong. The cannabis community and music enthusiasts alike have been shaken by the revelations from a recent court judgment concerning this tragic case of mistaken identity.
Shandon Ray Groom, 30, and Eugene Moore, 37, both hailing from Ohio, were recently sentenced for their involvement in the ill-fated 2017 attempt to steal cannabis. The marijuana-related crime led to Groom facing a prison term of 17 to 26 years for second-degree murder. Meanwhile, Moore was sentenced to 20 to 55 years, with additional charges for a felony firearm offense.
The Michigan State Police unveiled the grim details of Covington's murder. She was found shot in her Van Buren Township home, a day after attending a yoga class in 2017. Disturbingly, her hands were bound with Christmas lights, a haunting image that has since remained etched in the community's memory.
Court testimonies brought to light a harrowing fact. Shane Lamar Evans, 34, another accomplice, confessed that their initial intent was to rob Covington's neighbor of marijuana. In their quest for cannabis, they mistakenly entered Covington's residence. On encountering her, they impulsively decided to shoot her and subsequently used Christmas lights to bind her. Evans, sentenced earlier, will spend 15 to 25 years behind bars for his role in the crime.
Covington's family, determined to find answers, established 'Justice for Egypt: The Truth Behind the Investigation' on Facebook. Their persistence highlighted the shortcomings of the local township's investigation into this marijuana-linked crime, leading to state police intervention. The case saw significant progress with the arrest of Moore and Evans in November 2020, followed by Groom's in December.
Covington's brother, D'Wayne Turner, memorialized her during the trial, emphasizing her indelible impact on the community. "Egypt was a beacon of light, and we'll always cherish her memory," he stated.
Egypt Covington wasn't just a beacon in the music community but also played a role in the cannabis industry. Working as a beer distributor account manager, she was a familiar face at local cannabis events, bridging the gap between music and marijuana. A local brewery paid homage to her influence in both worlds by launching a special brew named "A Girl Named Egypt."
The tragic loss of Egypt Covington serves as a potent reminder of the risks surrounding the marijuana industry. It underscores the urgent need for stringent safety measures, community awareness, and responsible behavior in the ever-growing cannabis market.
