Its a whole new ballgame. Everyone is trying to get in on it. Many that had never been part of the Cannabis community..
Hey DF, I had a fast question about pro mix soil vegetable and herb variety...
It says that it can feed for up to three months. Only thing in it is soybean meal and some gypsum, limestone, compost, perlite and myco’s...!!!...
I don’t see how this could feed for three months on it’s own...
Thanx

@Nickman - I'm not sure. Doesn't seem possible does it. I've never even heard of that product line from them.
To cut to the chase on some of the more relevant content to the GROW thread - I'll share this first.
FAM 95 = Familia x I95 = (Chem 3 x TK/Stardawg Ix2) x (TK x Legend OG/Stardawg Ix2) - this is the the seed line I went for. This is the line that incorporates the two gene pools MoneyMike worked on in the early years - and what he shared with the FUCKEM crew. This is a coming home strain or grand culmination type of seed line for me. I've seen it come into existence over the period of 6-7 years. I value genes like this because of the connection they have to my experience.
P1 x ONYCD = Stank Bros ChemSour/SSCDH x Chem '91/Tres Dawg - the P1 is a sister cutting to the Lazy Lightning clone. It was selected by MoneyMike and he's played with it on and off over the years. This is the latest pairing and I'm told to expect absolute beastly monsters. Tres Dawg = Chem D Bx2, in case you weren't sure.
T-Haze x ONYCD = Tangerine Haze is an old 14wk pheno of NYCD/G13HAZE from Soma Seeds. Pairing it with the ONYCD - could be EPIC. I know I was bummed a bit by not getting the Zkits x Sour D Bx2 from Karma, because I was looking for fruity diesels. BUT - this, I'm told, is straight up, fresh orange peel zest, glass of orange juice, no sugar added - infused chem fire. I used to run the T-Haze cut, so this is was a wise share on $'s part.
(Forum GSC x I95) x I-91 = BrotherIndica ran 50 GSC/95 some time ago and said there was a lot to like about the offspring. I know this plant is not from his runs, but, it means the growers kept sorting things until they found one to work with. I-91 ? - I'm not 100% sure on but if I had to guess, it's Chem '91 x I95. IF that is the case, this seed line will also produce some crazy good fire. This line is a potential GMO killer. Cookies/Chem/OG. Yep. Great mash up.
I Star = I95 x Stardawg - Ha!!!! Take that Greenpoint. As I said before, I don't need those seeds. I think these were gifted JUST because. Who wants to start a bidding pool - I bet I get more than 2 females in a pack. ROFL. These here are basically breeding stock when you get them from the hands of the breeders themselves. Doesn't get more authentic than that.
I'm truly flattered by the generosity shared with me by the Top Dawg crew. They welcomed me on board and made me part of the operation for the day. It was a blast to sit back and watch them work and honestly, even more fun to jump in and help filter genetic questions from a steady stream of people that ran several layers deep.
I also learned something in the process - $$$ vs integrity - and how that's not lost in the Top Dawg dynamic.
A young guy maybe 22 at the most was looking to buy some seed. Only had $100-150 to spend. Didn't know what lights he was going to use...or what fertilizers...or even what style of grow. He was asked, if he knew how much growing costs to get started and you could tell the dude was a bit befuddled. All he wanted to give away his $$$ for some seeds.
MoneyMike told him no. To find seeds some where else. What he was trying to buy could be a bit difficult to grow for advanced growers, let alone someone new. His money was better spent on cheaper seeds - and Top Dawg wasn't for him...
It left me speechless at first. But then, after discussing it a bit with BrotherIndica, literally turning away a sale - I came to understand that's not the first time such a thing has happened. It's a pretty standard model to protect the brand and the consumer. Don't let a newb tarnish the brand by potentially failing to get the seeds going and ending up with a dissatisfied customer - and tell the customer the truth out the gate - the full truth. See you next year, jr.
I gained a certain respect upon observing that and it makes me proud to support a crew that is doing big things and still keeping it real in the process.
Much more to come.
FAM 95 and Snow Monkey - are the next seeds to get sprouted.

If I ever find something truly worthy of sharing, it will be. So in that sense, when something like this happens, it's good for...many peoples. I really do try to pay forward as best I can when I can. I think it's almost mandated based on the generosity that is share with me.

That Top Dawg story is great. My parental side does a lot of head shaking when I observe certain behaviors—especially since rec began spreading. It’s nice hearing about a group of guys not taking some dude to the cleaners. So crazy how the times change.
Looking forward to the future!

The Story Continues - Excelsior Extracts
Part of the reason for going to Boston, was for an opportunity to meet this particular person. To say thank you for many things over many years. Life advice. Growing advice. Edible advice. More edible advice. More edible advice.
It was a true privilege and an honor. I had to choke back a tear. Not many, myself included, know the full story, but what I do know of it - it's an amazing tale - and rarely do such stories ever have a happy ending.
I can't even begin to express how much joy it brings me to see this brand. If you don't know, then you owe it to yourself to check out the products. Top tier products made by people who are truly deserving of your support.
I had to get some swag. I'll be more than proud to rep this brand when the opportunity presents itself.

Hope you said Happy Birthday to Ms O. Outkassst and TOH were the 1st ICer's I ever met up with back around 06.
What a beautiful gift you got from $ and the Top Dawg crew!
You have a lot to play with their and I really can’t wait to watch this show.
I’m really sad I wasn’t able to make it but we WILL get together soon brother. I have some special Snow Monkey/CBDB/$ GROM flowers that have a good cure on them waiting for the day.
I am absolutely honored and can’t really express the words that you are going to even place the Snow Monkey seeds next to that Top Dawg line up. That really and I mean really says ALOT about what you see in that line!

The Story Continues: Chemdog
The Story Continues: Chemdog
This was a really cool introduction. Yes. THE MAN, who named himself after the magical seeds he sprouted from that bag that changed the face of modern cannabis.
Another person who has taken licks for this plant. Who has held true to their own personal vision in spite of the challenges that has brought them.
Within maybe 10 minutes of having met, $mike - he suddenly stops setting up and looks at me, "You wanna go meet Chemdog?"
DO I?
So, I quickly grab the nugs I brought - the Chem Sis x Pure Kush - in hand, I follow my guide to another area of the Commons. And sure enough, there it is, clear as day, impossible to miss. And honestly, it was REALLY odd. I knew who he was as I approached from the arrest record photos. I recognized him - a man I had never met.
I don't get impressed by celebrity, but I'm often humbled in the presence of those whom I respect. I was introduced and then just sort of left to chat. Really, truly awesome.
When I say Top Dawg and $mike in particular, went so far out of the way to give me an amazing experience - it really is worthy of the word "epic".
So, I fawned a bit - but in the F.U.C.K. yeah way - not the fanboy way - then asked, Chemdog, what he was smoking on. He laughed and said he had somehow, in the chaos of getting ready, forgotten his flowers. He did however - have some empty jars.
I was able to share some Sis/PK and some 12wk Cobalt Haze - didn't get to blaze, it was set up time and I didn't want to be in the way.
However, I know for a fact, Chemdog smoked my flowers. It was a a couple hours later, when another member of the Top Dawg crew disappeared and came back with a few shirts and misc Chemdog swag. He laughed and said, "This is what happens when you give Chemdog, Chem D." We all sort of chuckled and nodded knowingly.
I got to meet a legend in the game. Mr. Deadhead Bagseed Extraordinaire. There was no grand moment shared or even a moment to be awestruck. The introduction was over in maybe 4 minutes.
He did however, kick me a "mood mat" as a thank you for the flowers. I'm still not really sure what to do with it to be honest. I think it's a black light trinket. Anyone with insight on mood mats is more than welcome to enlighten me.
Next time I attend such an event, I'll have various sharpies with me. This would have been a neat thing to have signed.
But again, I was able to give Chemdog some Sis/PK flowers - Mission Impossible - made laughably easy.
I honestly had to apologize to $mike later that day when my mind had stopped swirling. He introduced me to so many people, consecutively, that I literally, didn't say hello to him, except for in a blip. $ and I never got to have a "hello" moment - because he was more concerned with rolling out a red carpet for me.

oh well, next time!
oh well, next time!
Awesome! 
Amazing!
