What do you know, just picked up a Nikon D3100 for Ms Kittys birthday present......... Is there a trick to taking pictures so there isnt light interference patterns in the picture? Right now I'd have to wait till lights turn off, take pics, then come home and upload em. I've never been a good camera boy and always been clumsy to figure it out.

in a pinch you can take a pic through a pair of polarised sunglasses.

She picked up a polarized filter today. We're never there when the lights turn off, generally........ So, lighted up pics will have to suffice.
The first harvest without only Endless Sky will be ten days from today, there's a handful of Bubblelicious and Snow White in the mix. Compared next to each other, there's no doubt that Endless Skys time is over in our garden, the nug development, smell, density, everything, is way better. Sometimes its good to have good old known working strains.
Harvested a few lights worth on Saturday of Endless Sky, its happily drying now as usual........

I hope most sellers of pot that grow it would also try to keep the fact that they grow it a secret. Not only for the legal part of it, but for the security and anti-robbery capabilities of your crop..... We just tell people we import it from California, and they believe it, due to the proper packaging and labeling on every back. It makes things easy, and I think also allows buyers to tell you the TRUTH about the strains, whether the feedback is good or bad. If you are "the grower" people are less likely to criticize your work and provide constructive feedback...........
We have had buyers come and go over the years, they go because they move out of the area after school or get out of the biz all together. At any given time we like to have four or five total buyers. Usually one or two of them want everything you can make, and the other ones are there just to keep your prices in check and competitive.
Even though this is a commercial grow op by thread title, it's a miniature commercial grow op for sure.
With regard to pricing, it changes from time to time based on the market. Right now its a dry time for every one of my buyers, and we've been "owing" weed to one in particular for almost a MONTH now. (Which, by the way, is NOT a situation I would EVER want to be in, its embarassing!). We try to stick to full pounds at a time, unless its a good friend, then whatever they want is fine out of my stash jar. If our customers cant buy a full pound, then generally they just wont be a customer too long and we will have "stopped importing weed" for them if you get my drift.
I'd rather cut a buyer who isnt dedicated to the business, rather than a guy who just "sells what he can"........fishwhistle

what if one of your buyers was on RIU and saw your packaging? also nice threadI hope most sellers of pot that grow it would also try to keep the fact that they grow it a secret.

Thankfully, I've shared the source, and the labels of the packaging with everyone here on RIU for the last year. If anyone happened to notice a similarity, that'd be pretty funny. We're small time in comparison to most commercial growers..........what if one of your buyers was on RIU and saw your packaging? also nice thread

Kitty, you should try a little experiment and take the ES to 63 or 70 days to see if there is a difference in quality. I just did five from seed (purchased June 2011) at that length and they turned out pretty awesome. I found they weren't even close to done at the 42 to 52 day mark like their site suggests. Five gallon smart pots, Pro Mix BX, Dyna Grow nutrients in a 5x5 Jardin tent w 1k Digilux hps using C02 in flower. Started out with the 36 hour dark period. The ES is a big yielding plant for sure. It was topped at 6 inches and super-cropped a few times during veg until they were 12 inch bushes. The next round of clones will not get CO2 in flower (a little experiment). I have also moved to an organic soil mix of Pro Mix BX, worm castings, Ancient Forest and Kelp meal. Going TLO on this run and the plants are loving it. The ES is a bit picky in the cure, I took a persons advice from another site and didn't let it dry to rapidly before jarring it up. After 4 weeks in the jar it is developing a deep flower and fruit scent with a mean high. Two runs of the ES will be enough for me, there are to many great strains around to tie yourself to just one.

Dont worry, when RIU lost a month of posts, the thread here lost nothing. Why? I havent updated it. Ms Kitty isnt here much at all any longer and I never bring a camera when I go to the grow spot. But since its been upated for the last year, when there's something cool or worth posting, it'll be here, but I dont expect much of that any time soon. Growing is kinda repetitive.
