My first advice when moving to California is make a right when you get there and head to Oregon. Electric power in CA is 3X as much as Oregon. Taxes are twice as much. Water is unusable without being filtered. Northern CA is nice but if you're going that far North might as well keep going. When you get here let me know. I'd like to work with you on breeding/testing some medical strains.

Anyone in Oregon can legally grow 4 plants without having a medical card. If you need meds right away, just go down the street to your local dispensary and choose from over 20 different strains. Prices are very cheap right now. When it's time to start growing just do a quick search on Leafly and find what strains you are looking for. Clones are $15-20, teens are $40-50. You can even get full grown mothers if you call around. You can also order clones from different suppliers around Portland.

Oregon is a lot different than the rest of the USA. Most younger stoners are dabbing although most of the people still prefer flower. Oregon is spoiled when it comes to bud. No one even wants outdoor here. For example: I got some Gorilla Glue #4 in the shop. The farm hooked us up with both indoor and outdoor. They both tested out at around 24% and were from the same clones grown with the same soil and nutes. The only difference was one was indoor vs. outdoor. The indoor buds were super dank and hard while the outdoor was leafy and light. I couldn't give the outdoor away at $7/gm but the indoor was selling strong at $10/gm.

I'm sure we'll see more states legalize cannabis when people see the results of Oregon and Washington. We don't have the Mexican cartels selling shitty dirt weed here. Everything is taxed, tested and regulated. I can't believe the whole thing is actually working!

Stinkbud, did it ever happen that because of the development of the rootmass, the whole plant (including netpot) was pushed upwards?

It's happened to me before. In fact one time the roots pushed the netpot up so much water started spraying out a little. I didn't have those problems when I switched to the 5" rails instead of the 4"

Thanks.
Someone suggested that if you fill your netpot with hydroton and the stem keeps expanding, then the netpot would get locked in the hole.
Like a fat dude stuck in a manhole.

If I'm using netpots in my cloner I cut the bottom off so the plants lift out without damaging the roots. For flower I just throw the whole root ball along with the netpot in the garbage. They are cheap...

stinkbud i have a question i'm making a system but ive noticed that the caps are not watertight i could silicone them but since i work a little different and have a drain under the fencepost i should have to silicone both ends and i won't be able to remove my spraybar to change sprayers anymore and have a easy way to clean the inside are there any methods you know that work to seal and be able to unseal easy :) i was thinking about the watertight alu tape but if you have better suggestions i'm all ears this method of draining i got from @letdown shifty to have the res outside my tent the spray bar will come in from the side but still has to be cut waiting for fittings to arrive

Silicon will work but eventually it will leak. You only need one end open to clean. Just Epoxy the end caps on and forget about them

Oregon perspective on efficiency... People here care more about THC % and quality than grams/watt. Let me explain...

You could be growing a huge producing strain in the most efficient system possible and there is no guarantee that you can get rid of a single gram. I've had hundreds of growers come into my shop trying to sell me flower. The first thing I ask them is, is it indoor or outdoor? If it's outdoor I don't even want a sample. Outdoor in Oregon sells for 30-50% less than indoor but even at those prices no one buys it. The second thing I ask them is, what it tested at. I'm really not interested in anything less than 20% unless it looks super dank and it's cheap.

Many of the farmers here in Oregon are growing strains that are not huge producers but it's the strain that everyone wants. If you can grow Girl Scout Cookies at 29% THC you own the market.

Nice to know. Do you sell clones at your shop? Also isnt it popular to grow outdoors in Oregon?

I don't manage the shop anymore. It was a wonderful experience but I'm just not into retail. I'm concentrating on my cannabis marketing business right now. I'm really trying to focus on photography and genetics.

You can find my clones at The Gorge Green Cross in Hood River Oregon. Anyone can legally buy four clones at a time.

Outdoor growing is huge in Oregon! Come October there is going to be way too much weed!

what did you do to get the purple
Click to expand...
Genetics...Plants don't turn purple. The purple pigment is already in the plant, you just can't see it because the chlorophyll hiding the color. As soon as the plant stops producing chlorophyll you will start to see the underlying colors. You can kind of see the colors as the plant is growing. For example my Pre 98 Bubba Kush is almost black as it grows. It turns a wonderful deep purple at finish. On the other hand my Agent Orange is a light green and turns yellow during the flush. I had a Green Love Potion strain that ended up a beautiful deep red.

Basically to see the colors you have to get rid of the chlorophyll. Obviously you don't want to do this while it's growing! If you grow outdoors your plants will eventually turn on their own due to nutrient lock-out because of the lower temps. Indoors all you have to do is flush your plants.

Back in my collage days one of my favorite labs was the one about plant pigments. We went out and got a bunch of leaves and ground them up. We added water and used a test strip to suck up the mixture. As the water climbed up the paper it left bands of color depending on the weight of the pigments. So you end up with bands of purple, red, yellow and green. Cool shit!
