What strains will you be growing out this year?
The bulk of them are currently germinating, I will post the list as soon as I know for 100% sure which ones make it
A little bit of both, my state has a 6seedlings 6veg and 6flower type setup but it’s mostly aimed at indoor growers
Is this your full time job?
Seems like your exceeding that.
I work 3 12s on the weekend then I do this the rest of the time
Tbh I don’t worry much about that anymore I did when I was younger but now I look at it like it would be a vacation for me in the event that would happen
I'm in MA.and all alone since I lost my lady 3 yrs ago,what was 12 is now 6 plants,I go WAY over but fk it,checked laws 1st off. up to 50 lbs(doesn't specify how they weigh) is a misdemeanor,prob a 500$ fine and 6 mo prob to be wiped from record, The POlice are overwhelmed w/so much else and manpower is a issue also,I worry due past paranoia when a grow might result in forfeiture and grab headlines. But fk it now,grass is almost worthless w/their "golden goose" greed mentality giving out pot store licenses,TOO many everywhere and I'm not sure how they survive taking licensing,extra taxes,help,overhead into account and the grow facilities expenses,in electricity costs,building,nutrients,and grow/trim help that they are supposed to buy from that have to be in state. With the going price it's making less and less sense to me how these places are turning a decent prof. margin,I'm thinking they are fudging rules and buying out of state w/ prices I see you'd think the tobacco giants were growing thousands of acreage of grass. It was billed as a self supportive in state ecosystem, NOT, So w/ that I'll grow what I want.
Sadly here you gotta have the big bux for just a chance of gettin your foot in the door in the canna community which personally I think is total bs, and the 2 top dispensaries we have their products is crap mex brick from back in the day has more power than the stuff they’re ripping everyone off with, what I have is better and cheaper and my people love it, I myself have always tried to grow a bunch of different strains each season and it’s always worked out for me, I find strains that work best for my area this way and I am able to do better breeding projects
Yeah, I agree,had mixed feelings cause I knew the pols would FK it up w/greed,in 2016 my state went legal,at 1st it was one store for a couple yrs and it was fine,then 2-3 stores and it was still ok,now I think we have more than 6,and I know of 4 within 2 miles of me,it's out of hand and eventually some will fold IMO. The thing is that all grass sold was supposed to be grown in state by licensed facilities,a indoor grow w/8 rooms for a weekly harvest for commercial supply is over 200 1000watt lights,plus AC/heating,plus the pumps and fans,plus the help to grow and trim,the nutrients,and the building rent all factored in is pretty expensive and the prices at the stores w/their bills for licencing/help/taxes/rent is NOT adding up in my mind. At first these places wanted top dollar sometimes 15-gram,now it's like the early 80's all in about 2-3 yrs,talk about bottoming out,that's why I'm miffed as to how it is all working over here,I sure as hell know I'd never waste time and $ growing indoors. Outside,it's a in grown habit I can't resist,been at it since mid 80's when I was 19. Like you I'm a 10 -15 strain guy,but in my spot I can't make seeds, in one area it'd be a genetic clusterfk w/ pollen everywhere. I would need multiple spots,distances away to isolate males/collect pollen and hit selected clones in another spot/s,too much BS and risk trucking shit around. The most bumming thing is my genetics die ev. yr. and I've seen many nice phenos that I'd surely have kept if it were possible,I don't live on acres nor am I in the country woods. Can't believe your dispensary sells brick weed damn,you could not give that shit away over here
I’m on 1 acre, and it does just fine for me and my needs, and the stuff here is hemp brought in from Iowa or IL or KS and yeah the dum dums here just buy that garbage up and act like it’s the best thing ever and the shop people get butthurt when called out on being greedy ripoff artist, and I dabble in breeding and the stuff I create is better than a lot of the stuff I’ve bought from the tudeYeah, I agree,had mixed feelings cause I knew the pols would FK it up w/greed,in 2016 my state went legal,at 1st it was one store for a couple yrs and it was fine,then 2-3 stores and it was still ok,now I think we have more than 6,and I know of 4 within 2 miles of me,it's out of hand and eventually some will fold IMO.

I have my own home also it's 1/4 acre in a city of 90k so that's like a farm here,made a nice private area out of arborvitaes in back,so I can load it up and bring in 5-10 lbs.. Usually 20-30 adult plants that are basically multi-topped,w/2/3 on bottom bare,and those branches cloned for a sea of green w/clones. Agree that Attitude has slipped,I get most seeds in USA now,seedbanks everywhere now,but back in the day there were few options,and I've had plenty of strains and seed from them that disappointed,but over the yrs. they got worse,if you look at their site now and even Euro-banks in general they are way behind the times, I will say they never ripped me off though nor did I have Customs probs. I've got a library of seeds I' ll never use and I still buy more because I always need some new genetics to keep me interested,this yr. in addition to my reg banks I'm getting a couple things from H. Depot in Canada on the cheap,a 2for 1 HSO chemdawg,a couple 8 wk Lucky 13 outdoor strains,and 2 Beanhorder strains blockhead(frosty pheno) and black god x freeze,other than HSO these are Canada strains for outdoor and MA is like Florida vs. Canada.Growing now is more love/habit than filling pockets,which I gladly partook in for yrs.
The tude has always done right by me, so I’ve stuck with them every since they launched, there is currently 2 packs I want from them but strapped on cash flow, several years ago there was problems with customs through Chicago but they fixed the problem
I'ts a pain in the ass to send $$ to England though,I don't do any techy E-transfer type stuff,there is a Attitude USA now also bro,but they only have 1/6 the amt. of breeders if that. I came across it surfin around.Some of the bigger Euro breeders are at US banks now also,Barney's, D Passion,ACE,and HSO,are stocked at a bank in Maine,N. Atlantic Seed Bank,I'm tryin a Mimosa/Orange Punch cross I just grabbed there for the citrus palette.All in all Attitude is OK,I'm not a complainer(seed industry for grass is not like buying Burpee's veg. seeds know what I mean),I fkn laugh at posts of people bitchin who buy single seeds,one time I had a woody for a superauto by Flash called Maui-Thai bought 2 3packs(absolute garbage),other 10pks 3-4 out of 10 I popped w/my fingers they were hollow,I didn't bother to bitch across the Atlantic(live/learn)
