Just a little more cure time and I can start weighing the crop out. Some of it has beem curing longer than others so it's not all done , but some of my crop is ready. Last pound is still drying now.

It's looking like a bumper crop. Did well on my co-op grows also. Still can't figure out what kind of prices I might get. Hoding on though as I'm sure orices will go up later in the year. They always do. This is going to be a hard year to figure out when the prices are best. Alot of issues going on. They had a hard year in Humbolt between red mites and smoke from the Oregon fire. Our own fires in Cali took out much of the crop in Lake, Mendo ,Napa, and Sanoma while fires burned up crops in areas in the south like San Berideno. The leagle market will now be hit with up to 70 % taxes under state laws and Sessions is on the rampage with the Feds expected to make plays against the open and legal state markets . Pot stocks just declined 10% the first hour after his speech. I was thinking Black Market would be 30% below The legal market but now it may go higher.

Know one can really figure out what the state yield is.It's defenently way down this year . Alot of what will be out there will be below normal quality between bugs and smoke damage also. Alot still will be deturemened on if session goes after despenceries alone or also goes after state aproved growers. The end of May there could be a sharp raise in prices. Prices will most likely be up but how much and when would they peak this year? It's going to be hard to figure out but holding on to long can also be hard to figure out.

If it has enough level ground , is accessible and has enough sun I'm going to buy it I think. I'd rather start fresh and have things where I want

I just got around to pop'n a few beans. Had a 1/4 cup of 20 year old pre 98 and 12 of my caughdrop kush x cherry pie. Didn't think any pre 98 would germ so I started half of them hoping to get a female and male. WOW 100 % of them germed ! They are in cups on heat pads and under t- 5's and all of them are now seedlings. O got 6 of the caughdrop kush x cherry pie come up also. First priority is fresh seed made the pick a few moms to make clones. Pre 98 Bubba is a favorite of mine , love the coffee smell and the high is one of the best of the kush.
