thats whats up 3gram keep killing it man but just remember when the piggies roll through you better not be so quik to talk like you do here ....
50 degrees nice!!!o_ONot too bad at all. after a few hours clean blade, really don't loose much stickiness.
I've found that if you nug it up, run it just right amount of time, place in drying racks at 50 deg. 50 humidity, roll nugs around every couple days or so to break off leaves not over trimmed, that slow dry and gentle rolling makes nugs harder and the only issue is the small stemlet that can be snipped off.
Takes practice to get it down.
Even small popcorn nugs trim up nice and that can add weight...
folks are really impressed with the end product no complaints ever...
Yeah, then all of a sudden (a little while after you get all your shit moved in) "I'm taking a huge risk here....I'm going to need $$$".@3grambowl Aren't landlords always chill to start?
Take care bro! Everyone else, my nugs > your nugs. Lmao
I get most of my supplies on line but some things (soil) is to expensive when it comes to shipping. As far as helping others. Fine! You should move into consulting! I have had several ask how but so far not one person has even bought a light. You and I really don't make a living out of growing so I don't think it will affect at least me. Quit showing your friends how to grow and it probably won't affect you that much either as the will still need the product you supply. Now, if your only income depends on moving your product, you might not want the competitive atmosphere.
I think market saturation in this state required new products, better quality and consistency. Michigan doesn't require testing so it's not exactly an easy comparison.So you small time operators doing this for a little extra cash feeling the pinch yet? Iam in Michigan and its still just medical and patients flip flop all over for cheaper prices. Quality be damned. Alot of poop
Alot of fire and all in betweem in my town
Zips for 150 or less no matter how good it is.
It's impossible to upscale quality? If you were given the keys to a commercial operation, would you also not be able to grow worth a crap? I've never understood this attitude that larger gardens are impossible to grow good flowers. It just doesn't make sense to me, but I guess this thread could use a lively digital phallic measuring competition.Commercial level growers can't grow worth a crap, so no struggle over here
Yes, I have seen large MMC grows and I fail to understand your 'REAL' commercial phrase unless you are mentioning but not really mentioning the grey area, diversion or something like that. I'd rather stay away from the quasi-legal what-ifs.I've ran at the commercial level before this became REAL commercial. I'm not saying all commercial growers grow like crap but a large majority do. It's a whole new game when you grow thousands of plants. You ever seen PM or Bugs on that scale? My point is go look at all the commercial level people Failing when it comes to testing. Colorado, Orgeon have all had so many issues, California is next and it won't be any different here IMO.
Then you should post what you are really trying to say instead of being passive aggressive.All I'm really saying is many large grows have below par growers and end up with bug issues or what not and start spray nasty chemicals to stop their problems. I do understand it's more difficult at that level with high plant numbers to control problems. Look at the Colorado commercial seen when things got started, lots of quarantined plants because of nasty chemicals used.
How is the medical side of things even relevent in Colorado with recreational now? Aside from cbd extracts and what not..seems medical would take a backseat.Then you should post what you are really trying to say instead of being passive aggressive.
I will go ahead and make the claim that you are not familiar with Colorado's testing policies for MMC's and the related regulations regarding banned pesticides and their use.
Personally, I would rather see plants quarantined when they are found to have illegal pesticides rather than allow that grower to sell that flower on the open market without having to disclose it to his customers. I don't view medical marijuana patients as users or customers, so I have no problem with patient protections like this. The flip side of the coin is that there is most definitely over-regulation, but there are always going to be bad apples.
Are they still letting rando growers sell chemical laden pest infested herb to dispensaries? I mean, I saw it at harborside on tv so it must be happening everywhere at every location all the time right?
@Pimples, in Colorado, retail facilities are called medical marijuan centers, and they have vertical integration. There are off premise grows, and medically infused kitchens that are also regulated. All of these locations are subject to MMED oversight, so your minor quibble of what is big or not doesn't matter. When you are talking hundreds of patients, I am not sure there is such a thing in Colorado as a 'small' commercial operation. I don't think 'small' operations have the capital to open and compete and pay to play like the chains with their deep pockets. People who don't have the money to register and open themselves up to the state are playing with fire. I'd say it's no longer the old west here in colorado, considering you can get your 'medical' card in california for 'anxiety'. I think cali has taken that title now.
Look at the differences between the language regulating COlorado versus California, and then tell me if you think your state or my state is more likely to have issues with pesticides etc.
