Just a breeder. I'm of the bill hicks theory that any artist who sells a product esp one he gets paid for doing and dosent believe in has forever lost credibility as an artist and a person. So I just spew my opinions and try to be as accurate and fair as I can be. The god bud was bomb back in the day, but I heard he was raided and lost his stock and it's not quite the same anymore but for 3 10 packs for 100$ I said fuck it. I wanted the old sensi afghani #1 stock the most anyways which I grabbed too. Dutch treat I've always heard was a good one too. I know his lemon skunk was bomb ass back in the day too

Wow thats awesome you traded with Nevil! I like your style man! Will be trying to find your journal, as soon as I figure out how to cruise in this joint. I'm a little computer illiterate.

 

[Legalize-Freedom]

how the hell do I find your grow journal? I searched in your name, and grow journals and it doesn't come up for me, it gives me a bunch of pages from your recent comments. Is there a way to "friend" someone or follow you, you seem like the kind of guy I could relate to, Dankonomics_genetics? I'm really having a hard time manuevering here...

I think you got it. you subbed me back..lol If you go to grow journals home page on top mine is in the scroll bar.

 

[Legalize-Freedom]

Thank you, yeah trying to figure this out, lol. I finally figured out how to follow someone, and found my msg! I'd like to follow both you Silver Squirrel and Dankonomics journals, you both seem to know whats up, and we all must be close to the same age, talking all this old school stuff. I haven't done a profile or anything yet, but I was born in 70. I'm old enough to know that i don't know it all...

I'm new too here. I'm not a fan of public places so I've been off the boards publicly for years. I just saw a guy shit talking me in the Dankonomics genetics thread and wanted to set the record straight. Don't feel bad, I still can't figure out how to like a post lol

The Dankonomics thread is where I'm posting.

That makes 3 of us from Michigan, my daughter just graduated from Northern, up in Marquette. I'm down river of Detroit now, but spent a few years in Owosso too. Glad to meet you folks. New (again) to here, but am gearing up again, now that it's legal. I can't wait to have flowers again!! My girlfriend got a cargiver on her card because he's a friend who is working for a co-op. So they are getting to grow 12 plants under her name, and we are having to chase him down for an F*ing 1/8 a week, and paying too much for it! I'm not dumb, I used to harvest PLENTY from 4-6 plants in a 4x4 area, I have a pretty good idea of what they are getting with her 12. So I'm a little pissed, and would like to be her caregiver. Do you guys know how to fire someone? They paid for her card thats how they lured her in. I just think it's rediculous if they can grow 12 under her name she should be sitting on several different strains, and have it when she needs it, at least in a reasonable amount of time maybe this isn't the place to ask, butI have 2 MI people captive lol

Hey bud she just needs to redo a state form the change patient form and check who will posses plants take about 7weeks just got my boy switched

They can go to a shop anytime and buy herb in lower mi. Upper Michigan is like a forest desert as far as shops. Nada but a few oasis here and there of mediocre herb.

All my friends go downstate for dispensaries. It seems very hard to keep one open in the UP. I don't know of any DAs that like it and they seem to do anything they can to keep them shutdown. Some have survived though. Some do have some highly potent products. I just don't know about other quality control measures. I swear almost every grower in the UP has spider mites and it is one of the easiest problems to prevent. Everyone thinks they have to take in these 'special clones' then they get infested. Then you got these others that say you can't not have them. Then some radicals go even as far as to say that having some spider mites is beneficial because they suck the juices out bringing more flavor and making more potent. I've heard every excuse in the book. Hate to say it being in the area but don't get sucked into UP's black hole of myths. It's so much better to just go thru a reliable company like TGA Subcool and start from scratch then make clones. I refuse to take in anything from outdoors or other people. I think dispensaries charge way too much imo. But at the same time some caregivers are way too greedy. And it's damn well straight up greed. Maybe I'm too generous to my friends that I caregive for but if I can afford to give them free nugs once in a while then so can these other caregivers out there. Obviously you can't be cutting your own throat but greed has taken over a lot of caregivers.

I'm in the shit part apperently lol. Daggett has a shop about 2 hours from me, houghton and iron wood too but same distance, so there's nothing here. Any shop too that opens will get raided too. I'd love to open a shop up but caregiver to your patients is legal, caregiver to caregiver too, but not shops selling to anyone with a card. Pretty fucked up isn't it all here?

There is a lot of shit parts up here. I've heard good things about dagget as far as quality and potency. I hope they can stay open though. I heard it's tough in that area. I might have to check it out someday. The way I've seen it for a while is the UP is forced into the private market through a large network of caregivers and patients.

I'll be sticking to my 1000w hps, until someone can convince me otherwise.

I have a lot of LED pics pages back. The right ones do work great. I have a couple KINDs and to me it seems like the plants I grow under it have fuller buds. The lights were overpriced though. Lot of people will say they are crap but they never used them and are probably sour with the price. I've been using them for a while. They work but I probably could of got something just as good for way cheaper. The problem is the coverage is not very wide but I'm looking into trying the COB style ones which provide wide coverage. In the winter time the cold areas like where I am I love using HPS. Really helps lower your heating bill. I know people that heat their homes with their grows. I like using LEDs side by side with HPS best.

Amazing enough I have never had spider mites when growing in the U.P.. I do not bring in anything from outside or others as well. I think that is where everyone gets them is from clones from other growers or dispensaries.I only caregive for family or very close friends who I know and trust. I treat them very well.

Don't forget pm. Eagle 20 too is rampant here in the bud. I'm just very selective. I've had access to the best of the best for years so I'm used to a higher standard. My stuffs looked shitty lately from nute issues and ph ones but I'm still turning out solid stuff. I never have bug or mold problems though besides from new cuts lol

Yes PM is a huge problem and it seems to be every winter. I had it a bit last winter after being cheap with my heat and letting the temps get too low. I find that if I keep my rooms about 85-90 lights out, 80 lights off, I never get PM. Humidity is about 40-50% I've tried lowering it and it did nothing to help. Some strains of PM don't need much moisture to reproduce. At high temps they have a lot of trouble reproducing. I read this a while back but would have to find the source. The spores are in the air everywhere. I found most pesticides for it to not be much better than water. Especially that NPK PM wash. Them assholes made too much money off me. I like neem the best as far as a pesticide for mildew. This is from my experience with it anyway. I can't say for sure if these ways would help everyone else but they have worked for me.

While we are all shootin the shit, I have to ask at least the ones from MI, what are we gonna do about the swab tests? I don't smoke until night time/early morning. I'm always sober when I wake up and drive to work but smoke everyday before bed. Others and myself would be fucked from a swab test even though sober. MI state law says you cannot drive with a controlled substance in your system which is also fucked up. I've probably had it in my system longer than I've been driving besides several breaks here and there.

With organics and proper humidity and air flow and temps I've never had a problem. Even when I didn't have a 50k room and grew in tents I didn't. Just from new clones I've gotten it, and from some old tga stuff I ran I saw it once on it outdoors. But eagle 20 is some nasty shit. It will give me lung infections from smoking bud with it. I can tell right away. I went to vegan organics but it's so hard to keep them as happy as with guanos and some bone meal too. I use a special sugar that is made from a plant used to make a Mexican liquor as well which really busted out the terps. But I'm tired of mediocre runs so I'm going to bigger pots, and guanos and bone to really amp it up in my soil mix. As far as swab tests fuck them, see I've beat them before on urine tests because they are testing for a metabolite associated with thc not thc the illegal substance. So to prove your intoxicated they have to beyond a reasonable doubt so good luck with that one Jonny law lol. They don't even bother me anymore about being stoned, I was so high one day when they came to my door looking for my cousin I forget my pipe and lighter in my hands and didn't have pockets in my pjs and just said fuck it. They just ran my card lol. Left right after

I didn't enter the cup they won because I fig it wasn't fair. My stardawg 3 would have blasted their c99 and Chicago diesel which is just Erich's rude boi diesel they renamed. I could taste it right away. My worst stuff is as good as their best and I sell ounce for 200-250, they charge 400$ and ounce straight up. The weed was better than most here but subpar imo. Esp for the price.
I had these three lines but I just tested them instead of entering. I knew I could win it easily. But said nah, And passed out seeds. This run hit 30% thc, the flavor on my stardawg 3 cut is exotic as it gets. I'm vegan organics too so the weed isn't as pretty as my hydro or my guanos based mixes but sour patch seeds told me he could sell this for 4K a pound in los Angeles it was that good. It's just so heavy and yet functional but the smoke is one of the best elites out there if done right. Huge yields too. Easy trimming. The chocolate stardawg was even better. It was so rich and Chem d nasty too with the bulbs. All mediocre runs too by me. But they put out. And sour patch buys from the jungle boys and greenwood, and has obs and others who hook him up, so I was very pleased to hear that. Esp cuz I know I can do better still. I'm super critical fwiw, I mean no harm but I'm even more critical of my work.

I need up actually getting approached by a very wealthy man before I could even if I was after seeing it and hearing about it. And ended up making 3x what I would have instead if I'd won the cup. I found a lifetime loyal homie too. He is like Thornton melon from back to school he reminds me of, it was a very awesome thing too because he is now a great friend. Almost like a father figure even to me. And he is a wealthy connected guy who has the power to even better my life as he has because he's so respected and wealthy and connected and I'm under his umbrella now, and he's prob the most loyal friend I've met. So no money can put a price tag on loyalty like that. Sure the floods keys vacation offers are nice and the full resort access all for free but he's one of those friends who truly wants to see you succeed and loves me like a brother. I was so glad I was blessed to meet such a great friend. It feels good to feel appreciated too and know someone's always got your back.

If it's the same cup that I'm thinking yes the results were rigged. I know for a fact because the people that ran it told me. There is no way C99 should of won. I'm not knocking C99 but there was better stuff there. The people that ran the cup were all good. It's this group of trolls from downstate all voted for their friends bud C99. Any of us could have rigged it if we wanted. Easy as bringing a bigger group of friends. Plus the event was small so it didn't take much. I don't mean to take anything away from them and still say their stuff was decent. But when you win something if feels a lot more rewarding when you do it in a more honorable way. I think that is why they are not having one this year. Low attendance, rigged elections, and a far drive for everyone.

BTW fucking killer pics bruh!

 

[radrolley]

Damn the last i heard the U.P. was still a part of Michigan USA, where medical use is legal???? What the hell are they raiding them on? what charges can stand up in court? Unfortunately people will probably have to be busted and have the money to stand trial to get things moving up there. But damn man, state law is state law!

Small grow don't worry about it but otherwise unless one has good community ties, I would advise anyone who is growing in the UP to have a lawyer on stand by along with the $5k fee they may want. Plus bail money. Don't get court appointed search around. Never cross state lines. I've seen too many people go away for that. Plus then the feds pick it up. I've actually had feds see one of my smaller grows years ago. They were there for something not even relating to me. They did nothing about the grow except made sure it was legal.

I'm friends with mike and them so I knew it was amateur hour. I ended up making more money than the cup prize by far lol. I wouldn't have entered regusrdless, I told mike that too prior but he insisted I did but I ended up showing up at like 5pm anyways lol. I don't mind giving herb away to my patients/friends but not a bunch of strangers, esp when I've never had a shortage of customers lined up. Thanks bro.

 

[halo2killer]

Which Chem cut? The 91 is the Grail. She practically shits out perfection[/QUOTE]

I am honestly not sure. It just says Chemdawg. Does anyone know which Chem Sub is using?

I have done the Chem 91 from CC. It was good. But everything is kinda iffy from that company.

 

[radrolley]

Man I still cant get over that bottom left pic. Fucking nice! Pure purple and crystal showing off for sure. Cant really beat the looks. Bet it's tasty and powerful as well. I don't do any grow journals. Whenever I try I never finish them. I Just post pics once in a while of TGA gear and a few others using super soil and other organic methods.

Here is some Marrion Berry Kush. I did a lot of topping on this one. It seems to clone easy. Potency is up there. Has a raspberry smell. I'll probably keep it going for a while. I will keep updates on her.

Agreed. I like the whole caregiver to caregiver to only your patients rule so it can't be monopolized but I think the whole act of calling a dispensary a nuisance and being able to legally shut it down because is just dumb. Politics imo. I know daggett pays the city money to operate. Noggin I think does too, idk about northern specialties or the other places but I know everyone though, and more though I don't get out much nor hang out here locally besides when I'm working. I'm from Minnesota so Id prefer to live there but have no choice due to crohns

You are doing Minnesota proud! I've been thinking about MI, my wife has family out there.
