You have just described one aspect of the free market. Competition for labor will aid in wage increases.

You mentioned most plants are hybrids. Mine is a 90%+ indica hybrid Afghani Kush. Look, what I'm saying is this, back when I started growing there was no such thing as seed banks. The seed stock we used was from our own breeding or from other trusted growers. We knew exactly what mom and pops were and didn't have to worry about what unknown pheno would pop up. When buying seeds or cuts today, we all have to rely on the breeders word that what we are getting is what they claim it is. If you say your plant is 90% indica, then it is, I'm not going to argue with you because I have no idea who it came from. But if you claim that the "tall sativa genetics kicked in" one could make an argument that genotype is perhaps more than 10% sativa, would you agree?

It had nothing to do with the root system. The problem is the tall sativa genetics was kicking in those two weeks but the stem was only strong enough for indica growth. The plant has now slowed down. The leaves are bigger and bushier.

There was no grower error with lack of knowledge. It was unstable genetics. You are probably right Canna but as you know, there are many reasons why a 2 week old seeding would need to be propped up, I don't know all the particulars in your case but the stem and root system not being established along with stretching from inferior lighting is usually the cause, now yours may be different.

But you have to ask yourself, would you rather have a completely stable strain, or one that sacrifices it for yield and potency? To be honest, there a plenty of stable strains with great yield and potency, I have to grow what is in demand at the time and believe it or not, aroma, taste and bag appeal trump potency for these knucklheads in the Bay Area. You can say you're an expert all you want, This is not a fair statement Canna, I don't make claims to being an expert, that's you and UB talking, I've just been growing for years, now i will say that I have probably made more mistakes than anyone on this forum, but not adding nitrogen isn't one of them! LOL but these days of hybriding plants to death, what you know goes out the window Well I pick and choose the strains I'll grow, the only time I find myself scratching my head is when I'm experimenting with something I'm unfamiliar with and that includes my own gear but I rely on my experience that tells me I can't do this on a large scale until it becomes stable. Does this mean I think of myself as a master grower, not at all. I just pick the path of least resistance bro. and each strain has it's own oddities, you can't blame problems or differences with lack of knowledge. Agreed!

Anti union much? Like everybody else you will then ask under your breath where do I sign up. Nothing wrong with benefits, fair wages, a little control over your life. If it wasn't for ORGANIZED LABOR we would all be a little poorer and life not so good. "The weekend brought to you by Unions".

So, you don't believe in a higher power, yet have to celebrate their religion?
That sucks.

UncleBuck said:

why is this religion different from all other religions?

because most of the holidays are more like memorial services that serve as great excuses to gather and drink excessively.

Supply and demand. Anytime there is competition amongst producers...prices usually drop don't they?

Yep.

Kinda like every other law. Isn't that what they all do, regulate our behavior and interactions?

Many times yes, but not always and as I said in the Jim Crow era, what you claim was incorrect. It only began working when government took action.
