If it continues it's race to the bottom, we'll prob bounce out, and just do a home grow. We can still have 24 plants as a patient, and that's plenty of weed for us to consume, barter with, or consume with friends that don't grow. We have a group of friends that just don't have time to do it, and they own businesses, so we trade services at times

As we just went legal rec here in NM I am bouncing around if I want to try an make a move career wise. When we went legal last year I was able to have my first grow without having to worry about any legal issues, just caring for the plant. It brought me so much joy working with and growing the herb that I love so much I thought, fuck why am I not growing for a living. But then I see the prices at the dispensaries and I'm like how in the world can the growers make any money.

Are you growing for a larger company or doing your own thing and selling to dispensaries?

I drove the length of the OK turnpike over the summer and seen all the dispo billboards. It looked like it was only medical and you needed liscense to buy. I also read an article complaining about the NM grower licensing regs and how they weren't going to be able to keep up with demand once recreational sales start this year, it pointed to OK as the model to follow and how the state made it so easy for people to get started growing or opening dispos. I'm wondering if that point if view is being g pushes by corporate interest just looking to flood the market and out compete/shut small growers down, or if they are really worried about there not being enough bud in NM.

We started our own grow back in 2018 when the law passed for medical. We sell to Dispo's and Processors. In the beginning, we couldn't make enough weed to supply all who needed some. .. and some of it came from out of State so Dispo's had something to sell while growers were getting started (highly illegal).. as more and more growers came online without any caps of any kind in this State, it became apparent last year when we had to go knock on doors to sell product. The first 2 years, we were getting our door beat down from Dispo's trying to get product. ... and it was bringing $3-$3300 a lb at the time. Now, you can't hardly get $700-$1200 a lb. IF you can even find someone to buy it. We have had big Corps come in and set up multi million dollar ops that will eventually put us mom and pops out of business because it just doesn't make sense to do anymore. You're basically working for peanuts. But.. we're semi retired, and have no debt, so even if we make a little money, it gives me something to do. When we start breaking even, or losing money, that's when we'll bounce out.... damn!.. that grow op is going to make a bitchin' Man Cave.

....and I'd love to donate! This is our flagship Dosi Whoa!.. and a Lemon cane to the left there .... still torn on what to run next... either all Dosi, or Dosi and Lemon cane. Cloned them both, but I guess we'll see how the labs come back on Lemon Cane. Dosi has always been consistent.

I've had people ask for cuts of Dosi Whoa!, but I really haven't seen it around here yet, so I want to hang on to that pheno. It's a Do-si-Do X Ethos Kush RBX4. Not trying to be a dick, but man, you gotta protect some territory around here. Found it at a trade show about 3 years ago. Haven't seen it since.

Kinda like some of the "old school" around here, the "original" Pinconning Paralyzer, which is all but gone, except to a few select, that will NEVER come off it. And what they called "KGB" which was a breed that I was taught on, bred by my friends brother, the "Professor" and passed on to us by Mickey, neither one of them are with us any longer, (RIP growmies). KGB had a very distinct taste, and wasn't a high yielder, but something that I'll search forever for to find something close taste wise.
Your not being a dick, you've got something good that no one else has, guard it.
"Gems" like your Dosi Whoa don't come around often, and if you lose it, you'll be searching for something comparable for a long time.

Oh, I agree. Dosi has all the qualities I want, (this pheno anyways), takes a beating, eats like a champ, has always been our highest yielder, 2.6-3.3 terps, low 20's THC, has a diesel/skunky/fuel smell and taste. All of our friends and family say it's thier favorite.... us too. I can be in the grow with my big water cup for a couple of hours, and while you can't smell the weed due to the AirROS system, once I get in the house, my water tastes like straight fuel. LOL!. Had a glass of wine sitting in there for a while this evening, and just took a sip, .... tastes like Diesel Merlot.

What methods do you use to decide "doneness"? Pistils, trichomes, aromas, general appearance traits, etc.?
I'm just curious
Click to expand...
A little of everything... You can tell by the overall look of the plant, it's feed uptake (will generally degrade), turned in pistils, trichs under the scope (about 5% amber in the depth of the bud), the sugar leafs are going to show more, the density, etc. None of them are going to be done at the same time.. especially running 2 new strains, but the Dosi is pretty consistent when taking the top colas,.. I'll let the secondaries cook for another 2 weeks or so. Im sure alot of people would be happy with this grow, but it's not my best I've ever done. ... kinda disappointed in the new strains. There is one pheno of Lemon Cane that im excited to run next time. Cloning them right now. I have 100 Dosi and 50 Lemon Cane in the cloner.
