New Beginnings for Massachussetts and I

Question came up about how I've found growing Blue Widow so far (just started week 7). For painfully complete details I will refer you to https://growdiaries.com/diaries/994-dinafem-blue-widow-1st-grow, but for a quick overview
They are slow growers in early veg. I've been careful about giving them too much of anything because Dinafem posts that they are light feeders and I'm growing in a mixture of Happy Frog and a super soil (Coast of Maine Stonington's Blend).
I've been using a very light mix of Botanicare products and other than the fact it's taken this long to get enough post topping growth to start LST (which will happen tonight with any luck), they are healthy, vibrant, compact plants under the Quantum boards in 3 gal pots at this point..
I'm guessing at least another 2 weeks in veg before I want to flip for stretch and scrog ... but this is uncharted territory and it seems no one wanted to really document early veg progress on these ... just the sexy bud porn ... so I'm kind of on my own.
I guess I need to finally order my flower tent and start putting everything together ... 2 weeks goes pretty fast when you've got too many projects going at the same time.
Just read your journal...looking good Bos! I'll keep following so keep posting!

Fear & Loathing

I remember the days when Colorado was med legal, and the police laid off- before the current wave of legislation trying to stuff the genie back in the lamp. I hosted parties with people coming from all over the state, at my house.

Now everyone is paranoid again. So sad...

I set my new cobs at 60k lux/5k fc for the top of the canopy. I may have to back off a little since they are very close but I am far into flowering.

I need some great seeds. The bank I used before now has up to A 6 week delay on shipping. Of the other two sites that I found that ship to the US, neither one takes credit cards. Can anyone suggest a fast shipping, good selection site that takes cc or payal?
Here is the list I have compiled that will take US cards...I have either used them, or contacted them and spoke to someone directly:

A lot of those will be be declined unless you call your bank. True north accepts paypal too. Their shipping price is a bit crazy though.

Most of the offshore seed banks have stopped taking credit cards. Those that do take them do will use dodgy third parties to get the charge through.

And then you can get your gear seized by customs. They have ignored seed orders in the past (but kept the seeds anyway), but who knows what they will do under sessions. And credit cards are traceable (unless you buy a card in a supermarket, but those probably won't work overseas).

It's safer to order from us seedbanks. I use great lakes genetics, which only deals in cash,. but I haven't had any issues. You stuff some money in an envelope, send it off in a usps express sleeve with tracking, and you get the seeds back in about a week.

The cash isn't going to get lost or stolen between you and them. And even if the seeds get lost (they are shipped back with tracking as well, so not likely), well, that's a few bucks lost. No big deal. But the only traces left of the transaction are whatever records the seed bank keeps, which probably aren't extensive.

order straight from US, better breeders, dont have to deal with customs, faster shipping, some take Credit cards, others are trusted sites, i ordered from attitude and they arrived but the stress of them getting nabbed at customs was too much, was held in NYC customs for over a week before released, dont wanna go through that again

If Hunter Thompson was still alive & living in Colorado- he would be writing an Awesome book on the Colorado Experience. LOL What your describing is my worry about MA.- just need to quit micro-managing established law- power brokers have bigger fish to fry(infrastructure, opiod issues, corruption, etc.)

Update day 46, some are a week or more behind, seed problems, the problem plant that looked underwatered is doing alot better, it was the light oversaturating again, backed light off and 2 days later its looking alot better, watered today, wanted to make sure it was the light causing the problem before i watered, now everyones situation is a little different, but what looked like overwatering/underwatering was actually light oversaturation in my case

I can give both dcseedbank (nice but limited) and thedankteam personal personal thumbs up.

True North may be reliable but their pricing is bat shit crazy high even before their 7.5% credit card surcharge. $25 higher than Attitude on a 6 seed pack of CBD-Warlock. $8 higher on a 5 pack of Cannatonic.

I'm not sure when I'll need to order more seeds but I think I'm going to finally break down and get a bitcoin wallet and eliminate all the credit card BS. Wire transfers are OK, but the surcharges on small orders make it too expensive. Postal money orders are good but not accepted in some places and I suppose stuffing cash in an appropriate mailer is OK if you trust the seedbank.

the problem i seem to have is pushing the plants to the limit of light they can take, not sure if thats good or bad, it is reducing stretch alot though, some of these things are so compact, now i want them to stretch lol, they need to catch up to the rest so i can flip the lights already!

Interesting note from the BBC

By weight, earth’s deadliest hunter is the noble spider, which kills and subsequently consumes 400 million to 800 million tons of prey per year, mainly insects, orcs, and elves. Those last two weren’t actually in the study, which was published in the journal The Science of Nature, but rather an earlier report from the journal “The Lord of the Rings.”
