It's what I wanna do, but my place won't allow me to add another 600w HPS, because of the breakers. Eventually, I'll be bumping it up to 30 plants, but I've got a 15 plant limit to work with atm.
Plant limits are a joke. I try and keep them down some. I was running more, but it's about 25% less plants on average now. My wife and I are both MMJ patients with valid recommendations. The CA Supreme court said that that plant and medication weight limits were unconstitutional and that patients can possess and grow what is needed for their use as an individual. I smoke a LOT so I can justify quite a bit. As for the power situation. Not a lot you can do about that. I had a bunch of new wiring and breakers installed when I built my room. I was running 7500 watts at one point but recently downgraded my lights to 600 watt and now I'm running about 4800 including my T5's.
I don't know if I could justify it. I only smoke a half o a week, roughly and I only use 2-3 oz per month. I can grow way more than that with the limit I have, though. I want to expand, but I'd have to find a place to get rid of it, that doesn't want to pay $130/oz (dispensary). They want $1800 per pound, so selling bulk to them seems like a shitty option. Street price is $200/zip currently, and they turn around and sell the weed for $140 per half/$260 per o.
I never get less than 3K per lb. Whether it's by the lb. or qp or oz. Never less than 3k per lb. I supply a delivery service and a couple dispensaries.
Prices are way different there, then. Dispensaries here are greedy as hell. This could be top grade meds or mids, and they try to pay this lowball price no matter what, because "It's not that hard to produce good weed", as they say. That's way cool that you do this, man. I'd love to get a network like that set up.
It's not that there aren't those kind of shops and delivery guys around here. I just don't deal with them. I make and keep good connections. Lowball me and I walk out the door and never come back. That simple. I don't do consignment either. It's cash now or nothing at all.
That's totally Badass! The dispensaries have tried to lowball me on a balm that I make. It's ridiculously strong and costs $20 per 2 oz vial to make (worth of all ingredients). They asked if they could buy it for $5 per. This place has great weed, but that was a kick in the nuts. To add to it, they bought this shit called Kush Cream at $4/1.5 oz container. It's more white than green, and it's way too weak to do anything, but they sell this for $25-30 bucks per. My balm is Neon green compared to it, and I use it for everything. I use it for my Crohn's and my wife uses it for cramps. Symptoms are gone within 10-20 min, even when they are worst.
Interesting... A Topical Balm? Just rub on the skin? I've made tincture before. I was thinking of doing a glycerin based tincture sometime in the near future. I do lots of edibles. I make great tasting and highly potent butter. My next endeavor will be to make some "Rick Simpson Oil". asssit:
Yeah, a topical balm. I use coconut oil to make my edibles, so I just use the coconut oil from that to make my balms. It takes a tiny bit of shea butter and beeswax to get it the right consistency. If you want balm, then add more wax... vise versa for a lotion. Shea butter and coconut oil are great for your skin. With a bit of research on essential oils and topicals, you can take it even further than that to treat specific symptoms. You won't get high off of it, unless you stick your hands into a ton. I found myself a bit intoxicated after spilling about half of one of my vials onto myself. Speaking of Rick Simpson Oil, I just made a 6 zip batch of QWISO Hash Oil, so that's what I am working on. It's some strong stuff to puff on! I've been giving one of my pet rats a tiny amount of honey and hash oil mixed together, to try and treat a tumor that it has.
When I'm on, I'm like a ganja growing machine! I'm also a big hairy dreadlocked Rasta, but jr215 likes to call me a hippy! :thumbsup:
SEEDS!!! Got my new seeds yesterday. I'm gonna start germinating some of them this week. The Trainwreck is getting germinated for sure. I'm gonna throw the freebie autos outside. Th Training day will be germinated if I think I will have enough room, and I think I will. asssit:
I went ahead and started germinating the HSO Trainwreck seeds today. I really hope that one of them is a keeper.
Interesting description of the TW. Nothing like I would describe it. The arcata TW I grew for like 7 years smells of mint, lemon, pine and rotting meat. No kush. Definitely not kush anywhere in there. No tangy cedar either. But hey, taste and smell are subjective. They should be pretty viney in growth, you will need to stake up the branches. I used to get buds the size of a small baby on a branch not much thicker than a pencil lead. Nice to trim, very few leafs in the flowers. Small calyxes, but lots of em packed really tight with few bright orange hairs. Looks done around week 7-8, but I always liked her better at 63 days. If you get a pheno like the original cut, watch out. Its great smoke but can make you paranoid if you smoke too much. Only strain I ever grew that made me feel like my guitar was foreign object in my hands. I been playing for 25 years. Smooth hitting goodness. Man I miss that cut. Good luck with the beans man.
Yeah, Everything but the flavor/aroma description sounds right on. I can see maybe a tangy cedar being how someone could describe it. It's definitely unique and I just hope I get something that is a decent representation of what the real Trainwreck is. I love your descriptiuon of how it made your guitar feel like a foreign object LOL :roffl: It's definitely one of those Sativas that can mess with your head a little. :thumbs-up: That's why I really want it. Ohh and I'm abnout to move the Tahoe X Bubba/Afghan to flower. And I have clones almost ready to flower of the Katscan as well, both phenos. Question Do you mind If I use some of these genetics in my upcoming breeding project? I may use them in a multi strain cross I am planning, if that's coolio with you. :thumbsup: asssit:
They are your plants man. I just made the seeds. Go to town. Hope you make something great. Good luck dude. Keep us posted on the project.
Usually all at once. Depending on how many seeds are in a pack. These packs are small so they will be germinated all at one time. The Trainwreck are germinating right now. It was only a 3 pack so hopefully they all germ and one is a keeper.
