Could be true!... but when spending a couple of grand on testing, you need to put your best foot forward.

A little week 5 update, and a walk around some of the strains/phenos. I say strain in a few spots where I meant to say pheno, but anyways.....

Tilling up the ol' compost pile. This is soil from previous grows, egg shells, fall leafs, coffee grounds, bark, stalks, stems, larf, rootballs, etc. We don't re-use it for Cannabis, but it makes great seed bed topsoil when I want to fill in low spots on the property, or start a new section of Bermuda grass. Getting some shit done before Snowmagedon 2022 starts up tomorrow. Wind chills are expected to be -15. Cut and split some firewood today too so I can stay warm, and eat some steak and shrimp while im watching it snow and blow.
Thanks for sharing this one. That dosi-woah looks real good.

Thank you!.. I knew when I saw this pheno back in 2019 that this was a winner. We skipped the market last round on her, because we had had it out for a while, and well,... you'll get tired of steak if you eat it everyday. So, we just kept the genetics alive by growing and finishing just one (cloned her tho) for our personal use because us and all our friends like it so much. Hoping that Lemon Cane (mother 10) comes back with good labs. I really don't want to run just one strain. That kinda narrows your market quite a bit, unless you got a multi franchise owner with a dozen or so Dispo's.
Yea. Even two varieties would be nice. Then you could divide the room, and more importantly the light(s) so that the canopy height differences wouldn't be an issue. One variety per side/half. Know what I mean.
Good stuff, dude.

Yeah, me and Paige talked about that. One tray of Lemon Cane and 2 of Dosi Whoa!. IF Lemon Cane come back with good numbers. And by good numbers, I mean 22-24% THC and 2.6-3.3ish terps. If the terps come in below 2, Im gonna scrap it, and try again with another strain... which I don't really want to do right now because you see how all over the map your room can get with so many different phenos going. Im purposely light burning that tall Bitter Sweet so I can get some light down to the other phenos. I can't really move anything around at this point either... that's the bad news is you don't know until after the stretch how these things are going to set.

All went well.... we just need to make a few minor changes to labeling, waste log, etc, nothing big. They'll be back in 30 days.

That figures, the damn government and their paperwork. I’m sure there are a whole lot of other growers they had serious issues with.

I have no doubt about that... I've seen them. Filthy, nasty grows around here. I hope they hire on more people to go do these inspections, and shut down the ones that are growing trash, or growing in unsterile conditions. These fly by night MF'ers are the ones bringing the price of the market down. I don't know how your buddy got away with 5 min, they were here for 2 hours. Do you know if he signed off on that extensive checklist?
That seems to be the way it goes. We have never passed an "inspection" 100% at our shop, they seem to find something to nit pick on, even though everything is good. Fire Dept was just thru our shop last week, and had to nit pick, and OSHA came thru about a month ago, and same thing, had to nit pick on a couple small things. I guess it makes them feel like they are doing their job, LOL
Glad you passed their "inspection"!!!!!!
Keep it rocking, and growing them buds!!!!!!!,!!!!!!

Yeah, otherwise, they can't come back to the office and say "Everything's good!"

Getting these moms prepped for cloning for the next round. I think we are going to roll with 2 trays of Dosi Whoa!, and 1 tray of Lemon cane (pending lab results)... otherwise, this will be enough to fill the room back up again. Only thing I dread is feeding 90 tiny pots. I need to put a 4x8 tray in that tent, and just bottom feed them. Im on the hunt for a tray... lots of folks selling grow supplies these days at least.

Reveg a clone off that monster! If it takes great , if not it didn’t hurt to try.
The wife and I can’t wait to get to your level. Amazing grow brother!

Thanks man!... it does take a bit of time to get there... and money, but I'm at capacity as far as cloning goes. Im about to clone those Dosi and Lemon Cane #10 for the next run, and don't really have the room for revegging that one monster. I got 120 or so cuts about to be taken from the mothers in the mother tent. Will only use ~90, and then cull that down to ~75 or so. I want an even canopy for the next run. This pheno hunting is not fun. I gotta burn the tops of some to get light to the bottom of the shorter ones, but that's the way it goes. Next run should look a lot more uniform. And man,.. this is a small.. very small scale compared to some of the grow ops around here. @Lordhooha is right down the road from me, and he's got a super OP going on!.. makes this look like a closet grow.

I picked up our country business license today, the LLC has been in for months. Lord willing our county won’t opt out of our states new MM program. They have 70 days left. On day 71 I’m going to spend a fortune. At least a fortune to me (130-150k). I already have a shop similar to yours but we are going to split flower into 2 rooms 15’x30’.
