... oddly enough, I don't smoke that often.... I'll get on a kick for about a week or so, and then not for a couple weeks. I likes my wine. But, yeah.. everyone's got thier hand out if you're a grower, and it's a bit on the over reach side. However, this may just weed out (pun intended), the people not following the rules and guidelines like we have done from the start. We don't do any side hustle, or anything stupid like that. ... You'll get your card pulled forever if you get caught. But METRC is a pretty costly and complicated system to learn for the average Joe, much less some half ass redneck trying to feed half of their production to the black market, so this may be a good thing. We have waayy too many growers as it is... and word on the skreets is that they just hired 10 more inspectors. And they just changed the rules from 24 hour notice, to a knock and talk.

That;s my experience. Ive worked in sales mgmt for several fortune 500 companies that I luved the food desert product personally going in and by the time leaving don't care for it. I bet the cache of weed has passed you by as well. lol

Well.... when you have an endless supply.. yeah, it can happen. LOL!.. I just like the relaxation and science behind the growing I guess. I always want to look as to how I can make more G's per plant, and operate as efficiently as possible.... although dumping 15-18 gallons of mix per feeding isn't exactly efficient, but the plants seem to like the semi flush. Back in the day tho... I was an everyday smoker of that Mexican brick. Even smoked some stuff I wasn't sure of. Nowadays, I'll only smoke my own stuff. I know what's in it... or not in it should I say. After seeing some local grows, I'm a little more cautious.... You should see the crazy shit I've seen in some grows.

I bet. We could talk as I am late 50s and grew up on that mex. brick weed. Occasional Aculupo gold and Columbian Red. In college we called the fine stuff chrismas tree cause of the green sense bud smell I haven't seen since 1980s. Funny curing in glass jars is cool but i threw some in a bag like we got it back in the day after jar cured. couple weeks later I swear the taste was more pronounced and reminded my of 1970-80s.

Now Ive molded some weed in dry state on accident a while back. Yep I said to myself, boy does smell like some brick weed we got back in the day and smoked it...lol

I can't even imagine what they did to get that stuff across the border. I hear that they harvested early... didn't even really bother to trim it up, it was all pollinated, they just chopped the shit up and stuffed it into a trash compactor sprayed with coca cola (to get it to stick), and bricked it up. Since so many States have come on either med or rec, they've moved on to other things like Fentynol, meth, and sub par prescription drugs. The Cartel are always shifting to make that $.

Fuck me!... can’t sleep. Random thoughts after a bowl of Grape Diamonds. I’ve learned a lot from certain members who unfortunately are not on here anymore... those 30 year growers are the ones you need to listen to. Renfro was a great mentor to me, and I wished he was still here. I do talk to him via text at times, but that dude knows his shit. If he tells you a chicken can pull a freight train, .. you better get a harness ready.

Appreciate the kind words sir!, but I’m just a pup when it comes to growing. Still have a lot to learn, and more mistakes to make!.. but yeah, Ren is just one of those guys that can quickly talk over my head when it comes to formulas, and specify gravity of your mix, etc.
I met him as well in CO. last year, 3 hours went by in what seemed like a few minutes. I was trying to soak up everything he said. Lol.

Week 3 about to come to a close. I am now looking up at them. I’m 5’10 and a lot are a foot over my head. (2 ft variance for tables and pot height) I had to stretch my arms up over my head to snap these pics. ... WHOOF!, this might be the big one! I had said in another post that I don’t raise my lights... that narrative has changed. I pulled them up about 8 inches, as I was starting to see light burn.25DAE2A3-2F3B-4B9B-B9EC-BB7A277CBEBA.jpeg8BDF1789-B937-4213-A189-9CB79DFE6FA5.jpeg

Wrapping up week 4 here. Still on the Flora Micro at 265, Gro at 265, and Bloom at 380ml per 50 gallons till the 25th, then I’m gonna back it off a bit. Got some good bud sites starting to stack. Had a bit of light burn on a few, but I raised them up. This is why I hate growing from seed, it's hard to keep the canopy even. Some of these phenos seem more resilient to it than others, but I don’t see anything that’s going to affect production. But I never breathe till those labs come back!E463FF1D-5E99-44A2-8079-40FE257283B3.jpeg0FCDE131-466F-46B5-AACC-517100E101C5.jpeg250DD031-2C53-4EF3-80FD-0D466FA218A6.jpeg

Sorry if you mention this before but what does a power bill for a grow like that average?

Power in California is outrageous, just wondering what Oklahoma is comparatively

It costs us about $400 a month to run the whole 1400 sq ft building. Lights, AC, dehuyes, fans, pumps, 4x8 mother tent in the processing room, etc. Power is cheap here.... like just under 9 cents a KWH cheap.
