I would love too.. when is it? Ill do some research on my own too. It would be awesome to meet you all this is like my favorite thread and I really enjoy all of your company.
You know if they wanna play dirty and patent every landrace strain that's fine, but there gonna be really pissed off when I patent oxygen.
If they can do it why can't I?

lolOk, I answered this once but can't find it now and don't know if I pressed send or not. Anyway, don't worry about being paranoid, although I'd just call it cautious and wise. I don't have a web site yet, actually I just got home from a company that is going to make me one. I have the factory literature I can email, I don't know if it would be proper or allowed to post it here. There were some for sale on ebay, in fact I sold one last weekend, the auction has ended but you may still be able to view it, I have the manufacurer propaganda listed. I call it propaganda cause until I hear it from a person who isn't selling them how good they work, I don't know if I believe it. Which is why I auctioned off the one I did, it ended up selling for less than what I paid for it, but, I hope to get some feedback on how it works, that is also why I have offered you one. The auction number is 250784697250 at ebay. As for the tracking device, I think thats a great idea, you want to furnish me some I'll put them on the lights I sell and a couple three months or so after, we can find someone to go pick whats under lights, sound like a good idea?

Its not that far but I have a big job starting this Saturday and I'm gonna be workin 14 hr days 7 days a week till its done. I'm gonna try, I've never been before, I'm definately gonna need a few days off and I can't think of a more fun or "refreshing" way to spend them. Maybe with all the hours ill be working I can fly in n out. Ill do some research on it and definately post here if I can make it.

I'd really look at the details of this event guys, I was thinking about going, but then I read into it...
There will be no meds available for purchase, testing, sampling at the event. You have to go to the actual physical locations of the dispensaries that are participating, you know they'll all be crowded because of the event traffic. It just sounds sort of lame to me, but maybe I'm off base. I don't know.

Here come the pics...in no order. The more mature Bubbas are about 6 weeks along. There is a pic or 2 of some 4 weeks Bubbas, as well.
Our Bubba Mama
A Chemdog Plant 5 weeks into bloom that got slipped into a delivery of Bubbas. Helper D hates this little guy. I've had to stop him from killing it twice to make room for the better yielding Bubbas or a Lavander. I want it for head stash. It is a tiny little fucker.

Mmm lookin really nice gardener. Can't wait to see a dry bud shot. I don't know if you have any way to do it, but a trichome shot would be really sweet too. I think trich shots are so cool. I got an ok trich shot just holdin my camera up to my handheld mic.
Keep up the good work gardener.

Here's some more:
The above shots are of 6 week blooming Bubbas. I was able to turn the flash on to kill the HID light wash. Yes, they smell every bit as good as they look. I came home today just reeking from moving about in the canopy. Helper D has taken on the smell as his normal Man-Scent.
This is my Lavander x Afgan x Purple Kush back crossed with Afgan...or, Laughgani. It's 2.5 weeks into bloom. I have high hopes for the yield per sq ft on these girls. They take as much food and light as you can give them. We'll be running a batch through in 10 gallon pots.
Showing the branching on the Laughgani. The plant has not been trained at all. We do remove some large leaves in veg because there are sometimes 5 or 6 leaves piled on top of one another. Given the shape, I don't feel topping will be beneficial. I did top one just to test it. I also topped and LST's one.
Laughgani in Veg
Laughgani in Veg
These 20 Laughganis are the next bloom crop once the 11 Bubbas at 6 weeks come out. We'll put these in 10 gallon pots this weekend.
Same veging Laughganis
These Bubbas will be topped and bent out into large plants. There veg time will be close to 6 weeks.
These are plants that have been blooming for between 1 and 3 weeks. Some went in pretty big and we needed to raise the lights a bunch. We want to avoid plants going in this tall. Much of the lower growth will need to be removed. We're still finding our stride in this grow. In a few months we'll be on a nice schedule, hopefully yielding much more efficiently. As I have said before, this first crop is just brute force: big pots...big lights. Dealing with limitted plant numbers is new to me. I would typically have 500 plants in this space. It will take me a while to figure out the best way to get the most yield from these plants in this room with only 45 plants to deal with.

looks really good man. good luck trying to stay under 99, find some beastly strains and get away from that bubba. big buds, sage, power plant, the ultimate, with right co2 you should be able to do 2 ps a light no problem.

looks great though a bit of stretch. is that just the strain or a light issue cus I think your good on light.

Here in Cali we have to be very careful about just growing anything. Right now, it's a Kush market. I can list 20 killer strains that would out yield my Bubbas 2 to1, but I could also find myself stacking up meds with nowhere to go. Any new strains preferably come from a grower I know and can test the finished product. Any new strains coming from seed must be grown and highgraded, and maybe I get one that will be good enough. That takes up plants numbers. Numbers I don't have. I may work in a new strain, but it's a long precess. I have big hopes for the Laughgani since we have a dispensary begging for it.
I am interested in the Ultimate, but haven't actually had some in my hand. I can't use plant numbers for any bud not top 1%. I may just order up some Ultimate, though. Thanks for reminding me it's out there.

That's just how the bubbas are. Man those laughganis are hardcore. Looks like an exotic jungle strain or something. I've never seen such a thick bushy plant that hasn't been trained into a bush.
Edit: gardener I think to maximise yield those laughganise are like a scrog dream come true. Imagine how far you could get 1 plant to spread out if you only let it get 18 inches tall.

It's this Bubba pheno. I'm running 62.5 watts/sq ft in veg and 50 watts/sq ft in bloom. My buddy runs 85 watts/sq ft with this Bubba and gets slightly tighter nodes, but not really that much. A few of the plants got a little crowded in veg, as we were finishing construction and were short on room. This spring I'm installing a split AC and running CO2, so I may do a little better. I need to cool the room down a bit, as well. We had some days up over 80 F. It'll take some time, but we'll get it dialed in. Shit, I moved into the warehouse Jan 15! I wasn't even planning on having our first harvest until May 15. We got lucky with getting some plants and will have our first harvest April 5. Anything we get between now and May is just a bonus.

Yeah? Shit. There was alot of hype about the Ultimate being the first high yielding top shelf strain. It sounded too good to be true. Alot of people don't realize how finicky the Cali market has become. I have friends that grow some killer organic AK-47 and they can't get rid of it. Then there's the guys up north with some great organic outdoor. Those poor folks can't give it away. I have yet to see a big yielder that is in high demand.

Yeah...but then there's the plant numbers thing. I'm going to try and bloom 20 of em about 3 feet tall. They don't get 1 inch taller in bloom. That's right. NO STRETCH. I would love to grow em about 1 foot tall, a plant every sq ft. But, I have 250 sq ft of bloom room to fill.
You may not believe it, but I cut off about 20 leaves from that plant. It's still bushy as hell. I worry abour powdery mildew on a plant like that.

I spent so much time staring at your avatar that I felt compelled to reply. Bummer about the relocation. What are the prices like there?
