Anyone here make it into the vip areas? Curious as to if they are worth it.

A buddy gifted my wife and I VIP tickets. The only thing in the VIP tents is a couple dab booths and free samples of tree lean. I"ll grab you a cup of the tree lean if you wan to try it.

Thanks again for those seeds man!

Saw a bunch of people yesterday, but only ran in to schrews, headymonster, and jefe noche from icmag. I'll be wearing the same logo gear today if anybody wants any seeds or just wants to burn one.

We were at the bog booth at 4:20 didn't see anyone, it's hard to tell who's who lol need icmag signs .....we will try again today....got our results for our entry, not too bad on the thc count...27.13 we will see what happens today. Going to a cpl of workshops today...should be a nice day, raining pretty good right now but it's suppose to slow down later today.
Babba will be wearing a Giants sweatshirt with the dead logo on it.....we looked for your logo gear yeasty but where were soooo many ppl there, the 215 line was insanely long!!

I had the same observations as both of you.

Curious as to what sc labs defies as bad microbiology, I checked out their website and read the info they presented.

While I'm not one to use aact anymore, I have in the past and do feel like it can benefit a garden if used properly. Heusinomics hit the nail on the head on the fact the political side needs more real world experience whispered in their ears about what's what when it comes to commercial organic cannabis farming...not just in reference to this but many other issues as well.

Sprayed with OgBio war and Spinosad up until the day of harvest, and all my flowers came back clean from SC labs.

It was the Flavor Blend from my greenhouse this year. Mostly BOG strains... Sour Bubble, Sour Grapes, and Sour Strawberry Kush with a little Elmer's Glue. I've got plenty if you want some more.

Yeah, it was a mad house yesterday. I didn't run into a couple people that I know where there all day. Crazy...

I'll look for Babba in the Giants/Dead sweatshirt. Mine is all black with the logo in my avatar in white. Hope to see you both today.

Also, sounds like nice results on your entry. Good luck!

Does anyone think that some of those test failures might just be from plants growing in the full sun. I would think that in the future the only plants allowed to be sent to market in whole flower form might have to come from greenhouses with hepa/uv filtration etc.... I'm sure some of it is grower error, and maybe some is from AACT.

I saw that a lot of the hash failed as well. I'm guessing the same thing. It might be the curing or the original inputs.

At this point we're still very much in a moonshine style production(whatever it takes to get it done), but that will change as the laws and regulations come in.

i dont mean to be a buzz kill but i was definitely a bit underwhelmed by the cup, what was available at the cup from vendors was just basic yellow boo-boo outs (i didnt find much of anything that could pass as ins)...

..also i wanted to get some show deals on nutrients and stuff but they only bring display items, so that was wack./ (and i get mroe/better samples at my local grow store too)

.. i went to a couple lectures, dragonfly eath medicine ipm lecture had people literally yawning and walking out every 2 mins, very weak...

i was able to meet alot of folks ive looked up to in the industry and shake a few hands (Jeff lowenfells, bog, ect,,), but you dont get to talk to them for long really ime, so many people around and there tryin to sell there wares...

..seeds were readily available, clones not so much, there were a few compnies only vending at the emerald cup but im really not a seed grower so i could really care less... did buy some south fork kush just to get something (dont know when i will even pop them)

i really should have just met up with some fellow growers and talked shop in person, that woulda been cool...


i only had like 6 hours inside the gates (after 3 hours of lines) so i didnt have much tine to chill and socialize, i will prob let the northern guys have this one and stay at like hempcon or other bay area events..

...stay safe and dry guys...

edit: fair warning i was sick with a bad cold when i went so that might have influenced my opinion..

I don't do lines. Ya'll have fun up there!

So if I was going I'd head straight to the CSI:Humboldt booth. Nspecta just started his "pirates of the triangle" seed line.

They'll have 10 packs for $80 of
Urkle f1
Mendo purps f1

Both heady heirloom purple varieties.

And with purchase you get free pack of CSI:Humboldt beans too.

Great deal imho

Apparently a user here read this as nspecta selling 10 packs of seed for 80, like ke ten packs of ten. He then sends me a pm saying how I'm good at marketing motherfucking whack BC he assumed he was getting 10p seed for 80 bucks.
My wording wasn't perfect but you can assume 10 pack for 80 means 10 beans in a pack, for 80 bucks
Lol
Anyway I just got my laugh for the day, imagining this dude rushing to get to the booth only to be like "yo I thought it was 100 seed"

Hahahaha
