Like 3 months, and 25 days... strange phenomenon to me. Seems like the longer you veg, the longer it takes to fully mature. I don't know. It was just an experiment. Funny thing is, I think she could have gone longer. That video was about a month before chop.

...although I've had this pheno for about 3 and a half years, she's always been a long 13-14 week finisher with a 8 week veg. The last of this pheno is finishing up on my front porch. She seems to get more bulk outside. 50/50 hybrid Dosi Whoa!.. Dosido x Ethos Kush RBX4.

Jesus, can’t imagine flowering that long lol, I thought for sure it was a typo or I was reading something wrong lol

Nope.. no typo. I think (in theory) that artificial light can be manipulated as you please, and more mass = more time to finish? I've never ran one in veg that long. The Mother tent was going to be open for a while, so I thought I'd try it. Towards the end, she was bone dry every 24 hours in soil (Sunshine #4). So, I'd have to go out there every night at midnight and feed her to runoff. It got exhausting, as I was finishing up a main room commercial grow, but it was worth it. I got 4 more (different strains) in the tent right now finishing up, so after this, Im gonna take a break. We got lbs. in CureTubes for personal. I may try it again next year on a different strain. I got a gravity feed system now, so it's not such a hassle to feed.

It's not just the smaller commercial growers that are struggling. The small dispensaries are being driven out as well. I drove past a dispensary the other day that had a sign that said $39 ounces. This is a large outfit that has 38 locations across Oregon. They have deep pockets and can offer better deals than a small independent shop.

Their investors understand what they're doing. It takes time to corner the market. These big operations are bleeding millions per year and their investors know it, however once they overtake the market, the investors will enjoy large dividends of regular income for a long, long time. Many of the ops are funded by government and pharmaceuticals. They're in it for the long game.
After that happens, there will be no money in flower. It will become another crop like soy, wheat, corn. They are starting to create sterile plants as well. That will lead to patenting chemovars with specific chemical profiles, genetically sterilizing them to prevent breeding and then they rake in the money. And if you grow a strain for resale, and the lab test matches secondary metabolite profile within a margin matching any patented pharma chemovars, you get sued for distributing a prescription medication. It could very well become illegal to grow again, but for a different reason.
That's the future I see.

Why is the market bad where you're at?

Probably due to a glut of cannabis. I know here in Oregon there's still way more than can be sold locally. There's twice the supply as there is demand.
“I drove by earlier today and saw one place selling cannabis for as low as $2 a gram. I don’t think we would have assumed or predicted that when we began allowing retailers to sell cannabis back in 2016,” he said.
Whitney’s firm estimated in 2021 that in Oregon, there was approximately 574,000 pounds of cultivated output demand.
He said growers tend to produce 1.1 million pounds of dried cultivated output, more than double the legal demand in the state.
Retailers could fall into ‘death spiral’
The combined effect of decreased demand, increased costs due to inflation and the low price of product are negatively impacting local retailers and causing them to fall behind, Whitney said. He’s calculated that it takes about $2.5 million per year for cannabis retailers to remain viable. But right now, the average retailer only generates about $1.4 million.

The pandemic boom may be coming to an end for Oregon’s cannabis industry.

Not seeing how 2 dollars a gram is bad.Probably due to a glut of cannabis. I know here in Oregon there's still way more than can be sold locally. There's twice the supply as there is demand.

Are you saying that a lb. in Can goes for $213 a lb?
The way it should be.. I hate greedy Greg's who try to profit off someone who is just looking to relax.
I give away more quarter bags in wal mart parking lot then anyone I know..
I set up shop the other week and gave away 1lb in 1/4 oz baggies to those who looked down on their luck

At 1500 you're still driving?
That's my expenses this year and my return will be over 15lbs "Im being light here, it most likely will push over 20".
