STRAINLY

[Bakersfield]

Before you read what I’m about to say realize this is directed at the sentiment of that statement and is not personal towards you.
Homegrown, when said like this is old school pejorative for people that can’t grow weed! Reality check, up until recently all grass was grown at someone’s home (for the most part), so to say some herb was ”good for homegrown” is really saying your grass isn’t bad considering your a rank amateur. I hate that statement so much! Especially when some fucker would say that about my stash but pay 500 an oz for it not knowing I was the grower.
Again, I bear you no ill will. I realize you meant no offense, my own brother even made a very similar statement to me once thinking he was paying me a compliment. To this day he doesn’t know the whole deal and how much I wanted to correct him for what to me was an insult!
Also, if you do what you do and people pay you for it, you are a professional. That man right there, @akhiymjames, is a professional, sir.
again, I’m not mad bro, it’s just a pet peeve

Talking late 70's here
I remember it was more of a descriptive term to differentiate that it wasn't imported.
Could be a good thing - no paraquat or a
bad thing - leaves and stems, because they took Mexican seeds and grew it in a closet lined with tin foil and grown with an incandescent grow bulb.
It usually meant the later, so it became a mark of being grown by an amateur vs the professional.

I totally relate to what your saying. My grandpa was bragging on my bud once how it was too strong and my aunt was like well is it the stuff you grew and I’m like yeah and she was like dad well let’s try mine, it’s “meddddicallll” implying it better than mine and simply there’s no way. Someone who takes care of their plants by hand vs a warehouse on automatic system is going to have far superior buds IMO. Rock on man. Nice dank

"but its medddicalll" is another one that irks me.
I offered to give all my larf and sugar leaf to a friend to process for edibles because I just cant find the time. She was more than happy to take on the task but her sister in-law went off on a big rant of how it wouldn't work for edibles because it wasnt "medical" and that "real" edibles need to be made with "medical" cannabis.

Her sister in-laws name...fucking Karen!

No kidding.

And I know we all can get a little nerdy with genetics and grow talk but that's why I keep it to the forums and my few IRL growmies.

Just for contrast -I recently traded a tray of cuttings for some maple syrup and eggs with the farmer that lives near our camp. That tray had everything from my own selections to cuts I got from Mainly. I didn't see the point in going into depth about what they are or where or how I got them. This guy just wants to grow some good herb for himself and his wife. I didn't even label anything in that tray.

Nice score on syrup and eggs....... Nothing like some surprise fire lol

My old great uncle grows outside and I’ve been wanting to take him some beans I likely won’t get around to using. He runs bagseed I think. Some cuts would be nice to gift. He grows outside, I have some fems started now, could I have clones ready in time for the outdoor season this year?

I find it disturbingly hilarious that this industry got started by home growers. Not some lab and testing proof crap!
Standard now a days thinking!

@Bakersfield. What's the progress of that triangle kush??

 

[thenotsoesoteric]

When I first moved out here to Oregon I had some orange tasting buds from my own cross grown in coco with pbp. Passed the bowl to a local Oregonian who worked with my buddy's wife. Dude hit the bowl and was literally smacking his lips and said "holy shit what's that, what shop did you get it." I wouldn't mind buying some.

I just laughed told him it's my indoor. Then dude goes off a out he only gets organic grown from his buddy who is some great grower.

So I'm like cool let's see this bud that had you smacking your lips on my flavor. The weed dude had was shitty outdoor that tasted like schwagg straight from Mexico.

People are a trip. They'd rather be smoking "organic" dirt than weed they literally get off on?!

Yes. That would work out well actually because you'll want to wait till May to start planting. Start getting enough daylight hours in may.

She's humming along, still early, but has stopped stretching. Too early for resin production so no noticeable smells yet.

Ya tired of hearing that too. Organic can be superior if done right with the right hands. But I'll put my coco buds against a lot of them lol

I guess it all comes down to how we value things. That pure maple syrup is amazing and it takes a lot work and skill to make the really good stuff. Seriously, its turned me into a syrup snob. I wont touch that Log Cabin crap now, lol.
The eggs were just a bonus.

I don't see why not. I'm in northeast and I don't plan on putting anything outside until the first of June

crazy, isn't it.

 

[boybelue]

The deal is, is you gotta know where your cuts are coming from and trust who's giving it to you. Don't care, there's too many fakes out there. And if you want a real scare look at what's happened with hop/hemp latent viroid. Be safe it's your garden.

I seen one of the youtube guys talking about the HpLVd and showing plants he felt had it. Other than growing really shitty, they would have woody lower branches that instead of growing out vertically they would almost droop down and turn back up. He would just barely touch the branch, just lightly pushing down and it would just fall off.

Check out medicropper on yt and his latest grow had some hlv

Ya we don't have the real deal out here too. Always thought it was cool how they tap the tree.

Ya I didn't see it that bad. I seen some strange blotching in leaves and plants that would not get they're shit together no matter what I tried.
