EXACTLY.
Since they won't pay extra for long bloom cycle sativas, there's no incentive to grow them.

well i'm not a commercial grower, not yet anyway. i wanna do the pure sativa because i really want to have it to try and share with some close friends, not intented to make $ from, or not much. but don't want it to take away from what i do make money from.
somebody needs to sell the shops and dispensaries on the fact that long flowering sats are worth more because they're a different animal than hybrids. to grow them you get less yield while taking a longer time but it equals, i hope and keep my fingers crossed, something unique and special. people will pay more for it, i don't think there's any doubt there. why is that so hard to understand it should make it worth more?

$5 or $10 above the regular top shelf price..maybe. But it would actually need to be like almost double the sale price to make it worth growing. Try explaining to the average customer why one of the strains looks like shit and costs $100 an eighth, they would just stare at you for a while and point at something else.

Because time and time again dispensaries get stuck with it and CAN'T get people to pay more. Sad but true.

The cage is 32 x 32. Or wait, yeah 32 x 32.
You can crawl up inside the cage if need be. We usually do that do the first training when you need to really cut out the central crap and train everything out to the cage.
After that it is mostly pulling the plant tips back into the cage and moving them up and sticking them back through the cage.
Otheriwse you will have a bunch of growth on the OUTSIDE of the cage which is bad. When you get huge buds they will sag into the bulbs.

i didn't really understand till now that you're dropping the light straight over the plant and have the cages around each light to train girls out ward, to grow in ward.
poor depth perception of early pics, i thought each light was directly over a fan and you were using cages for training girls to the multiple light sources out side the cages.
only 32 inches? man that's gotta put flowers close to the bulb. had some burnt up flowers in the past, lazy stoner ites, and i'm overly cautious about girls getting too close. one of the things i need to improve on.

Ypu were right the first time. Cages are on the plants, not the bulbs.
16" from the bulb is perfect for us. You should know that the edges of the cages are obviously farther away.
Bulbs hanging over plants? Ummm no.
I can only take decent pictures with the green leds on. Maybe I'll try and get a better shot tomorrow
