Yes, definitely no fluff or tiny buds. Flarf will often devalue your pack more than the weight it adds. Might as well keep it and smoke it or make it into concentrates. I've got a big plastic storage bin with a bunch of holes somewhere between the size of a dime and a nickle drilled into the bottom of it. I pour my pack into that and anything that falls through the holes gets pulled out of the pack. Too much stem (buds not broken down enough) will devalue your pack too.

When comparing your stuff to theirs, it should be compared to the following attributes in this order:

1) bag appeal. This is the single most important quality to all dispensaries more important than everything else combined. Bud size, coloration, tight trim, etc
2)smell/taste. If you're using heavy nuts in your grow flush that shit really really long and good before harvesting.
3) thc/cannabinoid content

Don't compare the best bud in your pack to the display sample. Compare it to the average bud in your pack. In fact you might want to compare it to the worst bud in your pack, because the buyer will.

Time to figure out how to genetically alter the plant to make the buds blood red with like 25% thc to take it to the next level....lol.

Sounds like shit is rough....but I still plan on building my grow. Worse case scenario I have to find out how to smoke 4# a month.

You're gonna pull four packs a month?

once everything is dialed in that's what it looks like. We shall see. My company is number 1 priority...but growing is kind of a passion.

What's your set up? Lights, medium, strain?

**phishtank** · 03-23-2012, 09:24 AM

Still in the planning stage. I'm still on the other side of the country. I touch down in california in exactly 8 days and will be taking a trip to the DMV, mmj doctor and hydro store within the first week of being there.

Plan is 4 4x8 flood tables for flower with 1200 watts over each table...and then 2 600 watts in a 4X8 for veg. Wanna harvest 12 plants every 2 weeks. Still trying to figure out what strain....gonna have to go cruise around and see what clones are available. Just doing it for the fun of it man. Up untill now all I've had was a DR120 with 1000 watt light....time to step it up and put together my dream grow.

**TheChosen** · 03-23-2012, 09:40 AM

hmmm. So I take it 12 plants per table then. So each plant would need to harvest about 2.5 - 3 oz to get that. Which would be about .75g/w I like the way that sounds, I was looking at 8 plants under a 1000w but the 600s will be easier to cool and distribute light over more area.

**phishtank** · 03-23-2012, 09:45 AM

Yeah that's the plan sir. I figure this way the plants have plenty of room to grow...and I'm not aiming for super high numbers. Going to be using CO2 but don't know how much that will help for the first few months until i get the feel of the room.

Phish,

Bro i am happy its your hobby...

However, even in CA pulling 12 plants every 2 weeks is a commercial grow OP in the eyes of LE so yano...

A hobby grow would b like 6 or less plants every 4 months...

What your aiming to build, in your denial, is a $ making operation!

That or YOU smoke more herb than any human being on the planet imho!

Look bro 6 plants w 3 to 4 oz a plant is 18 to 24 oz a pull that is a lb + everytime...

4 plus lbs a year for personal smoke is fine!

Now, what your attempting is a perpetual cycle pulling that same # of lbs every 2 weeks...

That is poundage bro and without a legitimate place to grow and sell it you are asking for trouble...

Juss move here, enjoy the girls, the sun and grow your own but don't try and be a player!

This scene is to big for that you will get devoured by the system...

If i am wrong bout your intentions I am sorry irieite!

I juss don't want to see another outta stater get destroyed in SoCal!

Yeah man I mean obviously I'm going to have some extra I will need to get rid of but I'm also growing for me and the 4 other people I live with so It's not like I'm just over here growing for profit. Whatever I make off of the overage will be to cover my costs. And who knows man...maybe some day down the road I'll try to throw a little collective together. I'm already going to have to get office space now that I need to hire more people....I could just get space with some warehouse space attached to it and kill 2 birds with one stone....but that will be way down the line from here. Right now I'm just trying to have fun and in my mind its go big or go home. I'm aware that LEO can be total dicks even if i'm within my limits for 5 people....but the plan is to treat it like I'm still in an illegal state and keep it stealthy and not run around telling everyone I meet in cali that I grow pot.
