Being from the 'show me' state, I'm skeptical of everything. Ever gotten bad advice from other fishermen? I have, and I'm sure it was intentional. People who grow weed are competitive as hell, just like fishermen. People who grow weed exaggerate their harvests, just like fishermen.
Never trust fishermen when it comes to fishing...
First time I went fishing on a boat I caught what felt like an old heavy boot, when it got to the surface it was actually a cod the length of my arm. I don't see what the fuss is about, no ''fight'' and then I had to smash the helpless thing over head a few times with a club. I then spent the rest of the day on the opposit side of the boat from the skipper because he looked mad I caught one bigger than him on my first go. I would not have been bothered but had no swimming trunks. I was wearing Y fronts so you can imagine the dilemma.

Been sayin it for many years, Happy plants don't stink, now some take offense to me usin the word happy but it's still true that in the right conditions they simply don't stink 8)
Its comical at first to see all these people doubting then it gets on my f*cking nerves. Sort of like the guy asking for input when there were 277 pages of input in front of him to read; < not on this thread, but just doubters in general. Fuck off you haters. Sorry for the speedbump ;)

You'd be amazed; some dispensaries actually do go out of business!
Actually, I am a little bit amazed. But, I reckon no matter the demand, business skills, ethics, personability, and good ole common sense will make you or break you. But I'm getting the hint, here, that there's more to it than that. Thanks for the response man.

I guess I need to start this by saying I believe I owe the new growers here an apology. It seems the way that I chose to try and share a truth made me come across like a chest beaten ego fool and that was never my intent !!! The truth is that I am a humble quiet guy once you get to know me.

Any one can get on the internet and say anything and because I grow so differently there are many that cry bullshit to a lot of the things I share, like the fact that my garden never stinks, that I have never owned a carbon scrubber. Well, the only way I knew to prove it was to invite other members into my garden and sure enough they came back on here and reported that I was tellin the truth, my garden is wide open and it doesn't stink.

I have also tried to share that the herb can be better, you see I'm an old hippie that grew up in the 60's & 70's, I smoked that really good weed that the old timers remember. They say today's weed is not your fathers weed and they are right but have it backwards as your fathers weed was so much better than all the generic hyped fake strains of today and you simply just need to ask any old timer that smoked those old school strains.

But because us old timers are a dying breed, I once again invited growers into my home and smoked my herb with em. Once again they got on the forums and posted smoke reports and verified that what I was saying was true. And the visitors kept comin and kept postin, we would have nice talks, smoke some herb and share a few beans. Hell I have a visitor from Washington comin tomorrow, a smart dispensary owner lookin for an edge in today's growing weed market. 8)

I do realize that when I say I'll put my herb up against all comers that it comes across as boasting and egotistical but honestly that is not my intent. My intent has always been to merely share that there are simple ways to grow better herb and I have always known that the growers that grow for yield and money would disagree with me. My intent has always been to reach out to personal growers and medical growers that simply grow for themselves and want better herb, better medicine. Beyond that I merely wanted to share the art form to a younger generation so that it wouldn't die.

Look around, how many growers know about or are talking about early translucent amber trics? How many are aware that it is a rare genetic trait found only in Sativa's ? I have been breeding for this trait for years and I have several strains that do it, one even named Amber lol. And I give these strains away for free all the time to insure the trait is not lost !!!

I know as soon as I post this the trolls will come, I know they will bash the notions I share. flowering with T5's, canopy temps of 92 degrees, boiling the roots to speed up the cure, sulfur rich mediums, odd light timings. And when growers come in and verify these notions the trolls will call em my posse lol such is the way at RIU it seems, but I invite you to my journal to see that it does in fact work ,,,,,,

And I hope that as new growers looking for the best possible herb that you keep an open mind, think outside the box and try new things, experiment for yourselves !!!

I find it amazing that there are people so incompetent in business as to actually go bankrupt selling weed.

Of course, things are changing rapidly and soon it will be a commodity business like any other.

Oh so true... folks who think they can grow weed because they have a garden and smoke weed are a dime a dozen, kinda like guys with a lawn mower and a pick up truck that think they are landscapers... but neither can run an actual business

Some of them actually grow decent product but their business skills are so lacking they can't keep the doors open.

All of these people are rapidly being driven out of the industry as the price of product falls and availability continues to grow.

Who will be left? Those who know how to make money, of which there will be two basic types; growers of the very cheapest grown minimally acceptable product as a commodity, and connoisseur growers which will command what the market will bear- but as price goes up, market share rapidly disappears.

I agree 100% but you may have forgotten (or not, but didn't mention it) one huge thing, brand. If one can brand themselves, they are gold, even if their product sucks momentarily, or always...people love buying and getting involved with what is popular. It's sad but true. Just ask pokémon, he'll tell you at the corner with the other 50 peeps.
