Ha! I'm back a day and I'm double posting. Jesus. Sorry guys.

I was just thinking how cool it is that we all do things a little different. Our own styles so to speak. What I love is that we all share our ways and help each other out. My point is that there are many ways to pull this off. I love tinkering and trying new things. Playing.

I'm cool with any style that anyone comes up with to get the results that they like. I'm actually really put off by people who think that their way is the only way to do things. That kind of elitist behavior always confused me, especially when it comes to what we're really trying to do here. To me, this plant is such a gift. For those of us that are lucky enough to grow our own smoke that takes everything to a whole new level.

In working with the teas that I used in the past, I used to play around and do things that would make some people roll their eyes. The thing is, it worked for me really well. That's the cool thing here. If we can't have fun doing this then we're in a lot of trouble. What's better than the smell of a perfectly ripened tea right before you use it?

In time, when I get going again, it's going to be cool starting from the bottom with everything new. I look forward to every part of it. Until then I'm going to have to live through you guys. I'm looking forward to our journey together. Now go take a peek at your rooms and your lovely plants and smile for me. We are all very lucky.

Thanks Gandalf! I had to sand the shit out of my pots and pans trying to fight the fg. Just watered with Spinosad.
Since up potting to the 3 gal it's been just water. Local farm stand sells an amendment mix that seems to be doing good. Teas don't like to flow through the sand. Shoe says my cut of ssdd is the "sweet butter muffin" pheno according to my description. And people shit they're pants over it. I'm so glad to see you back man. Lots to catch up on.

That sounds wonderful. I've been reading a bunch. All these new strains. I read through some of St0w's Dynasty thread. Cool thread! I always liked the looks of that gear. As you may recall, I've been a lover of Kali Mist for a long time. Especially the older version. Dynasty has KM in many strains. If St0w says it's good stuff then I'm in for sure without hesitation.
It's going to take me awhile to catch back up but this is in my blood. I swear that having something you love taken from you out of fear, etc., only makes one appreciate it that much more. For me it wasn't just about the end result. It was the journey to get there with all of you. The quest. I love everything about the process.
I really look forward to learning from you all. Hope you don't mind dumb questions. It's just nice to be back around. I missed you guys a lot. :grin::grin::grin:

Awesome to have you back in the game bro.

Independent of how/when this thread is noisy, it has always been one
of my best sources for good growing ideas. :0)

Hey guys. I don't know how many of you have heard that Pennsylvania, where I currently am due to circumstances, has recently passed legalization of medical marijuana. I would absolutely love to do something in this field. I've worked enough to know that there's so much truth to be said in that if you love your job then you're really not working.

What are some real feasible avenues that someone can do to take to advantage of being in on the ground floor of the passage of this law? I have no interest in owning a dispensary obviously, because I don't have the millions of dollars that it takes to get one up and running. I wonder if it's just a pipe dream that I'm having. I'd imagine though that a state with a population as high as Pennsylvania, it's going to really need some resources in the industry.

I was thinking that I could run a dispensary for someone, do something to supply local resources like amendments and such for growers, etc. I'd really like to hear what some of your ideas would be taking into account that the law just passed about 10 days ago and it won't be in effect for one year leaving plenty of time to get going.

Thanks all. Who better than to ask this question to then you guys. Is it bad that I'm not even high and thinking of this?

I think that being a trustworthy source for good gentics, a la clones, will
be a brisk business for the foreseeable future. Honestly, a "Kennel" of sorts
is going to be part of the future. You heard it here first. LOL But really, you
are going on vacation and you have a mother that you do not trust your idiot
roommates to care for....whatcha gonna do? Weed Watchers!

Take a good breed, pop packs until you have the males/females desired
and then sell F1s at low prices. This is not a rip-off IMHO as the result
will not be the mother....but it will have promise.

I am interested in doing something similar, though I am not sure how
to make a living wage, to begin with....it is that transition that is difficult.

Good luck!

JD

P.S. The key will be in building trust with your customer.
Zero tolerance for anything that might color your impression.

Freebies...whatever it takes! :0) ...but Trust is key.

Fantastic! Weed Watchers! OMG. That's absolutely hilariously awesome. Makes sense too.

If I can figure out how to get into this game in a legitimate fashion, it'd be a dream. Thanks JD. Very much appreciated!

I second JD's advice. Good genetics is where it's at.

We've had medical marijuana in MI for 8 years now. I've thought long and hard about what you're mulling over right now Gandalf. The absolute best business model I've seen thus far is a little clone shop in Ann Arbor called Genotype A. They do nothing but sell clones and seeds out of a small retail shop. They're only open on Saturdays and Sundays, but man do they make a killing! They sell small rooted clones for anywhere between $25-$50 a pop. I've been in there a few times, and they have apx 200 clones at any given time. They open at noon both days, but if you're not there waiting in line by 9:00am forget about it. You're leaving empty handed. I don't need to do the math for you to figure out what kind of money they're pulling in.

And honestly, the genetics aren't even that great! If you could put together a roster of 20'ish strains, and do nothing but root cuts from your various mama's....you could make a small fortune! Any money generated from seed sales would be gravy.

They have a Facebook page if you want to check them out. They post their menu on their for the upcoming weekend. Aside from that, they do zero advertising to my knowledge. Just word of mouth, and they are slammed!

Thanks st0w. I'll be looking them up immediately. This sounds very cool. I guess I could do the old day job during the week then open the doors to the fun on the weekends. That just sounds so cool to me. We all love this process. To get paid something for it would be too good to be true.

Thanks for your input. Trusted and honored at the highest of levels.

It'd be such an honor to be able to pass along the greatest of genetics, supreme healthy clones, etc. I get all excited just dreaming about it.

Honestly guys, being away from all of this for two years has been a real tough go. I can't tell you how much I missed the process, missed the knowledge, etc. I missed you guys! I can't wait to get up to speed on all the happenings. I've read some crazy stuff here and there so far. I can't understand the darkness in some of the corners. I love what st0w said in a thread a few years ago,

"Man, there is more drama in the weed world than I ever could have imagined. Bodhi and Sannie seem to be about the only ones that I don't hear this kind of shit about.

You'd think a bunch of cats that smoke copious amounts of weed would be more chill."

Man, I agree 1000%. There are enough assholes out there that we need not fight amongst ourselves. I guess I'm all sentimental just coming back. Sorry about the rant here.

Positivity goes a long way. Who wants to be high and pissed? Not me. Hahahaha. Just doesn't make sense.

Thanks again JD and st0w!
