commercial weed growers

[unnamedmike]

I think thats what most of have in mind when reading the thread title.
But to be honest, i dont think that it will gonna happen or last long. Just think of all the strain related topics like Haze, Cookies and Kush.
If commercial growers are interested to share knowledge and stuff, they would already post (more) in those threads from time to time.
The truth is: they dont because those threads are toxic, why participate in a subforum to get fronted and in conflict with the bro since and stuff?
Thats why for example dubi stays in his ACE sub and shares his knowledge of hazes there and only there. No need for him to participate in the ego wars of the Haze Thread
Sad but true

Ive learned a lot from comercial ops, like dubi for example, samskunkman, and more people doing money with the weed. (There is a member only forum, mostly with comercial growers and i love it, Ig is full of them) In my opinion we can learn a lot with a commercial growers forum.

The few people I know working for large grows all signed non disclosure agreements. My one buddy is doing tissue culture. And his boss has invested a small fortune in his knowledge. So he probably does not want it shared publicly.

Some people still loving the old fashion open source. Why not take advance of that? For example all my little tissue culture knowledge come from free sources and im ever looking for more. Some years ago, some commercial growers still posting here in IC.

Thats the point, without that there always will be (just for example) the new account that judges from pictures and telling someone he dont know and never met or will met how to grow and make more money without knowing the limits someone has available to get the job done

Are you successfully rooting and vegging tissue culture clones or just reading about it? I have known of several people to attempt to learn. I only know one person who knows how and is successful at it. And his classes were not cheap.

 

[bigtacofarmer]

Also. I love the idea of sharing information for free. I am just realistic about how things work when people invest a lot of money in a highly competitive business.

I spend my time here in IC reading old posts about big ops, in the haze posts and the sam post with white papers, and i suppose that out there is more people like me, why not centralice all the info about commercial ops? Just like the other subforums.

At moment, in vitro seed germination, succesfully. The next step gonna be meristem tissue culture for clean mothers. All the info in this not cheap classes come from free white papers.

There used to be big commercial grows documented and discussed here, I disagree that such things always lead to conflicts. Like everything in life 2% assholes, just ignore them.

I don't do insta but YouTube is a surprising good resource to learn about the commercial side of things. A while back I watched some content from a huge commercial grower comparing led to hps. Very transparent discription of method and nutrient levels at different stages of growth.

Oh i would be in for that too dont get me wrong Sir, even with only reading access.
I like to watch the episodes of growers network on Youtube and see the difference between those big ops, soil, aquaponics, hydro, buds and concentrates, drying, curing and everything between.
Listen to where they came from and what ideals they have and follow, some of them still have them.
But it would need some regulations, more than just having an account here to avoid the trolls posting there and piss people off

A few things have jumped out at me in this thread so far.

1. A place for hobby and commercial interaction is welcomed.

2. Some people who don't like the idea are starting to chop opinions up like a sushi chef. My advice to both people (pro and con) is to take the back and forth between them into PM. In the group, you'd probably both be booted for dirtying the thread. Don't like what someone says about your comment? Take in outside.

3. The information from commercial will probably be thin because a lot won't scale well to hobby growing.

But I still want to know about ozone systems used to keep spore count down to zero. Can I afford a system? No. But someone in the group might have a solution for small rooms. And that's the type of information that would help us all.

On that note, UVC systems in ventilation systems kills everything and from what I'm told negates the need for for HEPA systems. I have UVC strips from Alibaba in a simple carbon vent. You have to use a lot because they're weak, but they do work and not that expensive. Some commercial growers use them, but they use bulbs, not LEDs. I got that info from the owner of a company that builds out commercial growops. That's the type of info we can all use.

Now if you don't agree with the solution I just posted, just say "I don't agree" and post your reason why. But just saying "Bullshit" won't cut it.

Can we get an icmag supermod to create a commercial category in groups please? CosmicGiggle

 

[CosmicGiggle]

That's not something a Mod can do Tycho but I'll forward your request to Gypsy for consideration, let's see what the New Year rings in.

 

[CosmicGiggle]

Well, The Boss has responded and thinks it's a good idea so it's on the list.

2022 should prove to be an interesting year!

.......... and hat's off to creeperpark for the suggestion!

 

[Alpenglow]

Sounds great! The Group thing will work better then a subforum?

That sounds very interesting. Is it in your youtube history? It's so hard to separate the wheat from the chaff that I probably won't try and find it myself, but would find such links collected together to be beneficial.

Cheers bud. TBH I have never watched a potcast that wasn't backed by a university. I have seen some over peoples shoulders, but it's always been some stoned boys club that didn't appeal. Perhaps, in that very statement, I'm getting right behind the idea of this thread.

The cannacribs series and podcasts are away from that. More like a little showcase for pot-related companies to show a bit what they do, breeders, growers, dispensaries etc
