Sorry but i disagree. Restrictions to trade and entry to trade through trade barriers is not good for an industry. You point out the alcohol industry which i think is a perfect example. 1000s of micro breweries, small wine producers as another example, producing top quality produce. Why cant a small company produce qualoty product??. Large alcohol producers (particularly wine companies purchase their grapes through cooperatives i.e small producers).
It will go this way but it will be sad to see large swaithes of the industry controlled by a couple of Microsoftesque weed firms with profits being taken away to the top 1%....again.
Yep. Fuck getting weed from cargil and m0nsanto.

I was reading a thing that said plants will express their sex after just 2 days of light deprivision. So i can take the new seeds out for a couple nights at the 12 hrs, then back into veg. and they should show sex while growing on. Can you comment on this @DST

I think you missed me saying there are still small, local brewing companies (that produce great products) just like there will always be small, local growers that survive. The ones who won't are the pretenders. To think big companies won't take over during legalization is a pipe dream, the only thing I care about is quality, regulated product. They could hand out cheap licenses to everyone I guess and just let it all go unregulated, but that won't happen either. Eventually it will be just like alcohol is today, which is the model that played itself out through competition. You can buy high quality wines, beers that cost more (and from more local companies) or you can buy lower quality budget stuff (which surprise, is much more popular than expensive stuff), either way it is still safe to consume. You will be able to do the same with weed. The only time I have an issue is when licenses are controlled through loopholes and unfair practices by States. To be honest though, no nationwide, big companies are going to move in until it is legalized Nationally because it's too large of a risk at the fed level.
I didn't miss that bit. I think we are on the same page there.
I am just against industries having large barriers to trade. And they come in the guises of licenses that you have to pay large sums of money for. I am totally against anything that reduces small businesses or individuals having or being able to have them.
Politics in the US is right spectrum on the whole. With that should come a laissez faire attitude to trade and industry. Stop making people jump through hoops of burning fire to earn a crust.
And re large Weed companies or ones owned by larger organisations...The model seems to be getting a whole lot of criticism from the public im Canada. LPs with shwag weed infused with pesticides tsk tsk big biz.
And yes i agree. Big business will take a very large share of the pie. And folks happy to buy the cheap products will keep that alive forever-more across all walks of life. Simple supply and demand i guess.
I for one would be buying Mom and Pop1/8ths if the choice was there and that was my situation...not Coca Cola Lemon chop 1/8ths.

its a race...do it. bet i can do it faster haha. Fuck knows about that lad. Plants take at least 2 days to do most things lol. show sex in 2 days...who knows.
either way plants are fairly hardy towards our silly experimenting so i am sure you could try it without causing too much stress and damage to the plant:)

So its finally time to set up the tent, Going to be a soil run since theyr already in dirt im not going to flower the cookies and keep it as mother. I'll grab some coco for new clones, suppose i could get the new seedlings into coco now ?-)
Getting a few airpot's and a couple fabric ones to try them, i always done well with the air pots.
Ive read/heard all the different opinions on better flavours groing in soil, but these GSC really surprise me, not just the smell/taste but colour !!
The Blue ones:

Starting to look like a grow. Pineapple is taking over, had to lst it before it takes all the light. Once I move the light up ill juggle them about so they all get good light. Got to keep the seedlings in these 1 ltr pots. I love these pot noodle pots shape, the 12% extra free ones are even better. Tall and they re-pot perfectly into the air pots. The Hotdog and Zpine seedlings are looking good, both got a nice smell with a little rub. Cookies starting to grow good again, not sure if to cut half it away, its like it was taken in flower and there's an inch at the top trying to put out 3-shoots and its not looking as good as all the new growth. I'll let it be just now and see how it grows.

Your Cookies really did nail it!

I am going to have to grow mine out again to see what it can really do.
The tester-grows that I am doing, with 25 new, different breeds make it
really hard to optimize any plants experience.

I can add that I took down a new record yesterday: 46 Days

This was a Critical Kush from Barney's Farm. It was under an LEC which I
have found to shorten grow times, but c'mon! :0)

Here it is:

A lower:

I am sure that it could have gone another week, but it is showing the required signs and
I am curious! :0) I will run it again.

Be well, and Happy Easter
