West Coast Cultivation introduction

So after sitting on the side lines and lurking all the forum sites for years I've decided to choose one and register. I am a grower out of Oregon state, currently along the central coast. I've grown indoors for 13 years and outdoors for about ten, but not as frequent as my indoor grows. I was born and raised in Washington state up towards the peninsula and a lot of my growing career took place there. I relocated to Oregon three years ago and joined the OMMP. We set up in Beaverton, right outside of Portland and threw a 14' x 16' room with 8,000K watts. With dual 12,500 BTU air conditioners running all day and the lights being vented we still battled the summer heat. Everyone knows that when temperatures elevate, nutrient uptake increases, the risk of cooking out valuable terpines makes an appearence, and often times buds will foxtail or become whispier than if grown at a lower temperature. Basically after two years of that crap, we relocated to the coast Unfortunatly for us we do not have an indoor room set up at the moment, and our outdoor garden got a late start. Hopefully by November our indoor room in very much complete and in full veg and everything outside is harvested. Our outdoor garden consists of five Platinum Purple OG Kush plants, three Jack Herer plants, one BubbaWreck plant, six C-99 pineapple cut x Sour Queen plants, and two of Subcools Agent Orange. They are all in a coco mix and inside of our greenhouse being fed the BioBizz line up with some other additives. Everything has just began to flower as I wasn't able to force them early this year because of my schedule and all the chaos associated with moving a grow opperation. Our indoor grow will range from 4,000 to 8,000 depending on the amount of vegging that I have going on at the moment. We will also continue with the production cloning and supplying other card holders with stellar genetics from our production cloning facility. We were up over twenty strains last year so we decided to flower out all of the mother plants and only keep cuttings from a few chosen strains. Here is a list of what made the cut; Platinum Purple OG Kush which in this case is Platinum from Tacoma Washington crossed with SAC#3, Obama Kush which in this case is Master Kush crossed with pre 98 Bubba Kush (also my avitar picture), Subcools Agent Orange the tall and resinous pheno, and BubbaWreck which is pre 98 Bubba Kush crossed with Trainwreck. We plan to add OrgnKids Blackberry Kush, Positroniks Blue Rhino, Delicious's Fruity Chronic Juice, and Subcools new seed Qleaner. We also have some clone only strains that we are looking at selfing and adding to our stock. Since we do not have an indoor grow currently going, we are unable to do a journal, but I will begin an outdoor journal as our crop begins to flower. I have to figure out how to upload pictures and all of that but I am sure it wont be that hard. Again I just want to say hello to the RIU community and hope I can pay forward some of the knowledge I've aquired over the years from other growers most people consider legends. Keep things frosty until next time...

damn everyone thanks for the welcome to the board... I'm not anything special so Im not really looking for anything out of the ordinary, but where I come from a simple hello or welcome aboard is fairly normal. Whats with the RIU community? I was going to join THCFarmer, but chose RIU instead, did I make a mistake? I've belonged to other (non marijuana) forums sites since 1998 and things have changed there too. I used to post at least a couple posts a day on other boards, but when you consistantly get the cold shoulder or jackass comments you figure it's something you can live without. I no longer post or even visit those sites, I hope this isn't the same. I'm not here to halk any goods or brag up my skills, I'm just a dank farmer looking to help others, share some good knowledge, and take in as much as I can. So with that being said, will someone give me at least a sympathy "hey fucker welcome aboard, we aren't all dicks, just really busy" or some shit like that...

Welcome mate! You will probably be getting mitherd off me for the next couple of months haha. Peace!

welcome m8

nice list of goods there
thc farmer not whut it used to be
most noted bailed out to canna collective
lot of bad rumors floating on logic based on $$ lies and ripoffs and crack smokin

Sounds like you have a plan. Your problem is that you are not a newbie and that's where the welcome thread is located. Best of luck and keep us posted on your progress.

Welcome,

the problem here is there are so many dang posting in an hour and sometimes we don't even see them tell later.

I enjoyed your back ground story...keep em coming

Thank you everyone,
I feel a little more at home now... As far as THCfarm and Logic I know very little, but what I have heard certainly isn't good. It's a shame that A LOT of people set out to capitalize on the medical marijuana community with no other interest than just making money. Just look at the seed banks and the amount of markup on their products. Does anyone really think the breeders get a good wholesale price from the banks to justify their huge profit margins? When we first started production cloning for clubs up here it was the same story. I understand business and the fact that everyone has to provide for their situation, it just sucks sometimes when it's at the exspense of someone who really can't afford it. It's people like Subcool who set out to truly help the community and to help care for those in need. We need more Subcools and less people like Logic.

Here's a little rant from the movie Jurassic Park beleive it or not. I think it fits what I said above quite well... "I'll tell you the problem with the scientific power you're using here; it didn't require any discipline to attain it. You read what others had done and you took the next step. You didn't earn the knowledge for yourself so you don't take any responsibility for it. You stood on the shoulders of geniuses to accomplish something as fast as you could, and before you even knew what you had, you've patented it, packaged it, and you've slapped it on a plastic lunch box, and now you're selling it, selling it, selling it"...

Anyways thanks again for the welcomes and I look forward to contributing as much as I can whenever I can...

You know you are welcome here brother. Sometimes it takes forever to get replies or answers on here. There is a lot going on. Also, some people just read a thread and dont say anything. Try not to let it get to you. You actually just answered a thread of mine I posted forever ago. It happens. Just keep posting and being consistant. You have already proved that people will see what you post just not always right away. I saw a lot of your pics but didnt say a whole lot. Didnt wanna be a pain but you are doing great. Keep in touch, be safe
