I wanted Umbra to explain to me the economics of bud versus oil !-- I know U don't have a hash oil machine but U surely got a better grasp on it than me !
Got to be a better plan than D.D.'s plan !-- D.D. say when it's harvest she'll come take what she wants and I can do whatever I want with the rest !-- That ain't right !--

I don't know if 1 is better than another from the economics point of view. It's all about supply and demand. To me, the oil thing is the younger crowd and the flowers will be forever. So if you run with a younger crowd where dabs are the thing, then the demand is going to be high. But if you run with an older crowd, flowers are going to be what is expected. Now the partner thing, that's a whole other thing that I have not figured out, lol. good luck with that

There is gonna be a totally weed uneducated market around here !--When I went to pick up some brick for caps the man was excited he had some " Hydroponic Weed" !-- That would not be enough info for me !--and the price was laughable !-- How U grow don't make it special !-- Almost no one knows anything about anything except it's weed !--- I think they gonna want oil to smoke in public in an e-cig !-- I was amazed by how much flavor comes across from the weed !--- I can get cheap empty cartridges out of China -- a hash oil machine and the weed to run thru it and I'm good !----Like Umbra said flowers are forever !-- It's not like U can't produce what the market wants most --at the time !-- D.D. woke up !

 

[Keef]

What varieties they be liking in the free states these days ? --One of these days I got to get me some of seed for those monsters Kraven grows !--- I don't think U can even buy some of that alphabet soup he got !
I know I only had some oil from Critical Kush but I liked it--He grow some of that sometimes !-- Got that on my list !--Hippy Slayer ?-- He got stuff and things ya'll !
The more I think about that Stoner Ranch just seems like something that should be !---

 

[Kraven]

Lol, yea alot of what I run is abc x 123, so far I have gotten to name two strains. Only drawback is as a tester, that's what your doing...so there are always lots of pheno's and different expressions of the lineage. Sometimes you come out with fire and sometimes you realize that a hybrid needs further work to reach what the breeder is reaching for. I enjoy the process myself. So other than the occasional nanners that get thrown, mostly I have fire. I'll have the Hippy Slayer around for a long time, it is a very special cut only breeders private stock that he shared with a few peeps, me being one. If he ever free's it up I'll be sure you get the first cut I send brother. Right now Green Crack / Critical Kush/ Ghost Train Haze / Blue dream / Tahoe OG / Stawberry cough / Headband / Girl Scout Cookies / Lemon Haze / Golden Goat are all good popular strains Keef.

YD you are on the same aquifer i am, your water is good and in the 250 ppm range, it is full of calcium, so you will NEVER have to add cal/mag...maybe just mag during weeks 3-5 of the plants life, well after week three up until 2 weeks into flower. If you by an r/o system 2/3 of your water goes to waste and then you have to buy all the micro/ macro elements to put right back into your water. Waste of a bunch of money...keef on the other hand is so close to the beach that his water has way to much NaCl and plants cant grow in it so he has to use distilled or a good r/o system. Don't waste your money, and if you really wanna know how to water farm, I'll teach you. Keef has a very customized set-up an unless your going to copy his methods, i have a few idea's for you. Hydro is not hard and it follows a general set of rules, but each set-up has it's special needs and methods. PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF GOD don't do a DWC, it will all be good till week three in flower and then your gonna have problems and it will have to be checked 2 times daily, and a real struggle. Ask me i have ran it...once. This is what you can do with a RDWC. Here a few pic's using 5 buckets a res and 2 inch cups. If you only have one bucket there is no room for the soup, the pH goes wild and your plants will die if your not right on top of them doing rez changes every few days and top offs a few times a day.

Those are some of the prettiest healthiest roots i have ever seen Bro. DAMNNNNN

 

[Kraven]

lol ty weedhopper, those are not my plants but I do have a pic of me holding up mine while it did that one DWC and it looks just like that, I had no clue it was going to happen, and I created a monster, she dropped 13 zips off that one plant.

 

[WeedHopper]

Dont care who's they were,,they were awesome. You are one of the best growers here on the MP Little Brother, ,,you are in very good company though, because the best growers anywhere, ,are right here,,,PERIOD.

 

[Keef]

I'll take some Critical Kush --Strawberry Cough --Green Crack --Golden Goat --Some GTH---Lemon Haze --Tahoe OG --GSC --Maybe some Blue Dream no I got that kinda !-- O.K. that will about do it !--Did I miss anything !-- So those seed will be here in about a week ?
Hopper What up Cuz ? -- I'm messing with Kraven !--- Them was pretty roots but I'm still trying to figure out how they converted a milking machine into a grow system !

 

[Kraven]

Keef at least he should have a 4 gal res so to speak, and keeping the water moving will aerate it enough, he is just gonna have to watch it close, them girls get big they go to drinking alot. If he likes it then i will show him how to get a bigger rez set up and an ATO so all he has to do is check ph and change his rez weekly.

 

[Kraven]

I don't know why you don't have an automatic top off set up on your boxes, just takes a 30 gal trash can, a float valve and 1/4 ice maker line and a water pump, you could have your set up automated.

 

[Kraven]

Dont care who's they were,,they were awesome. You are one of the best growers here on the MP Little Brother, ,,you are in very good company though, because the best growers anywhere, ,are right here,,,PERIOD.

WH thank you so much for your kind words, I really appreciate you including me in the likes of the the great gardeners we have here @ MP. I have learned all I know from others and try to pass freely what I know.

 

[Keef]

Kraven this is a figure it out as U go system !-- Later I'll set something like that up !--- With 10 + gallons in the boxes I top off about once a week !--- This is just temporary !--I know what U talking about because we used a bathtub and toilet float assembly to make self filling cow troughs growing up ! -- Right now I'm still mixing my nute water by the gallon !---I got a 35 gallon tote that I fill with RO water to let it sit at least 24 hours before using to let the pH stablize !--- Use fresh RO water you'll be chasing pH !--- I'm still working out what I want to do in that spare room grow !-- I gotta get it l worked out first !-- I am not gonna set up a grow room just to have to change everything !

 

[DirtyDiana]

Finally caught up with all you chatty Cathys! Missed everybody while I was working the weekend. Good to see you out WeedHopper.

 

[DirtyDiana]

[Rosebud]

Good morning Yard dog.. I am glad you are having a good weather morning.I hope you have a good week and the niceness holds til you can go fishing. I have a very sad story. I have never caught a fish. I have never been fishing.

I am having coffee and a bit of haze from the little pot dealer that seems to come around my house and brings really nice sativa. Mr rb isn't tickled when i purchase pot, i have no idea why. lol It is fun to have a bit of a change.. Face it, i am spoiled.

DD, I have been missing you. This work thing gets in the way, doesn't it? How you feeling? How's the babies? the ones at work, not keef.

So Ganja, you been lurking huh? well glad you came out of the shadows. Welcome to old hippies shooting the breeze.

Keef, did i hear you say the hot tub is closer to real?

Umbra, good morning.
Kraven, good morning,
bozzo, nes, all ya all good day to you.

I seem to be chatty.
A doctor of mine thought I should do the 23 and me DNA study... mr rb doesn't agree. I did it anyway. Information can't hurt right???? LOL... I hope i have some african in there some where, or something interesting... northern European is my guess.
It will be a couple of months when i hear. Ya get your results on line. Maybe I will be surprised at what I learn. The doc wanted it for future medicines they may want to put me on. You know I am off 4 pills. All because of cannabis. awesomeness abounds.
Sorry i talked too much.

 

[KSL]

Morning MP, thought I'd stop by to say hi to the Old Farts, I don't exactly meet the age qualification but I'll make up for it with joints. :joint:

It's pretty cold in my neck of the woods this morning and we've got a fresh blanket of snow covering everything. Looking out the window it seems like the outdoor season is still far off but I'm getting antsy after a long break between grows, today might be the day to gather up new cabinet supplies.

Hope everyone has a good one.

 

[yarddog]

Rose, I seldom keep the fish I catch. Unless it will make a nice filet, I catch and release. I also don't go after the big boys. I like a good stream that I can hike around and fish the little pools here and there. The first thing I do when I get there is lay down on one of my favorite rocms and smoke a joint and just take in my surroundings. We were not designed to be city dwellers. My heart is in the nature. I am super excited about building my house next year. I'll be in the woods on a nice big pond!! Will only be able to see one house, and its family.

 

[Rosebud]

I understand YD. Peaceful. You need to take me fishing. sounds wonderful.

Good morning KSL. Do you have a short grow season where you are?
