[323cheezy]

I am happy for all i recieved from the community jin...
I have some regrets but dont we all??
Just today a guy came out all the way from chicago to pic up some cuts, i met mmj yesterday, the high octane og was gifted to me , and pretty much i get just about any clone for free or at a super low rate...
These are all great things.... i cant tell u how many growers i met ... and been gifted meds and cuts.... its fun stuff and very cool...

I guesss just looking back i was thinking i was gonna be growing pounds and making lots of extra funny money ...
But thats not what happened.....

Better late than never, friend. And you're here for the best part.

Here's a really bad joke. What does chicken and a tanned chick in a bikini have in common?

The best parts are the white meat.

That's so funny. I had funny thoughts of making a shit pile of cash, too. And like you, I have made a few bux here and there... but nothing to quit my job over.

And yes, I'm beginning to look at it more as a craft shared among a close-knit community of cool people instead of a profit venture. It's better to keep it that way.

And free clones? I had no idea what that was until you hand delivered them to me... one of the finest strains I've gotten my hands on too. This stuff is looking so good already, I'm keeping it all for myself to share with friends... It's already looking too good for the club shelves. They don't deserve it. We do. Lol.

I don't know if it is my place to say, but I figure a fellow farmer is a fellow farmer right? I always thought it had to be really damn difficult to grow the good stuff that I too was paying 900 or 950 a QP for. I've seen a lot of dirt weed in my day too. My buddy convinced me into dropped 400 dollars on my first setup that was a 250w switchable mh/hps and I had SO many questions going through trial and error. I didn't know what pH was.. or how to feed plants, what kind of soil or soiless mix to use. In fact, all forms of Hydroponics still befuddle me. The point is throughout the nutrient burn that I thought was a disease and the underwatering, overwatering.. I still managed to come up with some really good bud. The second grow I came out with some chronic stuff too that smelled like skunky petrol/pine. I'd be paying a lot of money for this stuff if I wasn't growing it. I too started this hobby with the idea that I could gain a couple hundred bucks here or there... but it's became more of a stress relieving hobby for me. I get to care for another living thing.. and ultimately produce high grade medicine. The thought at the end that you show your stuff off to your friends and they say, "Oh wow! Where did you get THAT shit??" and you get to say, "my closet" or what have you... is such a satisfying feeling. It isn't hard.. by any means.. maybe time consuming by a small bit.. maybe stressful sometimes.. but so rewarding. I don't know... I'm probably rambling but what you guys have said hits in so many spots for me. I'm just starting my 3rd grow.. upgraded my setup and no more overpriced dispensary clones that you don't know what they are or bagseeds. I'm trying to do things right this time. Thanks for listening if anyone has and love thy plant.

Although like all of you, I want to make loads of cash too. But the real money made comes from that -not- spent at dispensaries. At 300-400 bucks an ounce... per month... it's a huge savings no matter how you look at it. Even if you never exchange a gram. Even if you just smoke it all for yourself.

And that too is a great reason not to quit your job.

You're so right! Money saved is money earned.

That's what I'm talking about.

I, personally, like going into shops after a particularly fine harvest just to see how shitty their top-shelf OG's look next to my jars. Once I saw a big vendor transaction. This scruffy looking middle-aged guy had trash bags full of Fire and Jade OG. I peeked over his shoulder and it looked unreal. I've never seen that much prime, compact, dense OG nug in one place before... He had pounds on him. But later on I went back to the shop and tried some of that Fire and Jade. Good, but next to some of my harvests, just so-so. Just goes to show you that something is lost with the larger volume, for-profit growers. They don't baby their plants. We do. The difference in final smoke says it all.

I don't know about you all, but I smoke weed to get high... contemplating the bouquet, the flavor, the look...that's all good stuff too, but the high is where it's at in the end (for me). I have been high off my ass like you wouldn't believe off my past grows. Fuckin' soaring euphoria with lightning bolts of energy through the entire body, no sleepiness, and always mood lifting. Never in my long career of buying from dealers or shops did I ever truly get high... I thought I was getting high, but after I started growing my own elite genetics hydroponically, I really discovered that all those times before I was never truly getting high.

I totally agree with this.
I've smoked bud that looked like god and tasted like shit.

I've really never been higher easier than with the Lemon Skunk I just grew.

Let's face it, nobody sells primo dank on the streets, without jacking the price.
Except maybe some moderately wealthy, chill ass stoners.

Or, growers who want to help out other patients and understand that street prices are stupid

The main problem anti-pot people have with these MMJ dispensaries is that they are for-profit businesses (and they sell pot pretty much at street prices). There seems to be a disconnect with this and the claim that they are here purely for compassionate medical reasons. I don't fault anyone for trying to make a buck, but let's not try to say we're something when we're not.

Everyone should learn cloning and seed crossing and just share amongst one another for tiny donations or no cost at all. That would make it really hard for these dispensaries to stay in business, and the federal government would have less to gripe about. These are basically marijuana stores... I think a lot of people are uncomfortable with that idea, and they ain't gonna change their minds anytime soon.

I was going to a shop back when I first got legal, all strains were $10, no matter what they were. This guy had an operation with 3-4 other employees, and he was doing just fine. He didn't raise prices until the city he was in shut him down and forced him to move to south seattle. He ended up losing all of his customer base because he had moved away from his customers. If memory serves, he closed down for good 3-4 months later.

I'll admit, $280 per ounce still isn't the best price, especially when I usually get it for $200 per ounce, but it was better then street prices, and he had some top notch strains.

The "for profit" industry is what's really hurting the movement. I understand operating costs, but what the fuck is with this $20 per gram shit? That's straight up bullshit. Especially when I look at how much it's costing me to produce my supply.

280 a zip would be a great bargain in LA. No one does that down here. It's a dog eat dog world in the big dirty City of Lost Angels.

Yeah, they know growers know what's up, too. So because of that I'm treated a little differently at these places compared to their regular pot head customers.

The northwest is great..
Ounces almost always go for around 200-280.

I've never heard of 400/oz until I came to RIU.

Nice day 11 shots.

Thanks.

Yeah, LA is just an expensive town any way you slice it. Lotsa hot girls, tho.

Jin,

My clone is on day 13, yours is on what, 12?
Now of course I already know what to expect of your system, but at least chronologically we are on track.

Had an unusually busy night tonight. Raised light, trimmed out under screen foliage, and tied down a couple of outer branches.

Overhead shots. True daily progress brought to you by Uncle Jin's Love Factory.

And what are quickly becoming my favorite, the macro clusters...

Peace.

Edit:
Great news! I'm taking a day off work tomorrow!
Not so great news... it's because I have to go the DMV to renew my driver's license.

Grow is looking great man. I see some 7 bladed leaves in there too...
