Massachusetts Grow 2019

Not to mention pollen from hemp grown for CBD production. I saw a roadside pop-up place selling plants earlier this year, and then noticed an area farmstand also had CBD hemp plants for sale. And CBD edibles/topicals are for sale everywhere. How many people are growing CBD hemp at home?

That doesn't even take into account for pollen from industrial hemp operations. I read something that said fiber-growers prefer varieties that are monoecious (both sexes one plant).

State sent a letter a few weeks back to all the hemp farmers and non-licensed sellers basically telling them to cease and desist. Farmers have crops coming in and don't know what to do. Due to grey guidance from the feds on what's legal and what isn't right now regarding CBD. Anyone still selling w/o a dispensary license is rolling the dice with law enforcement and getting really ahead of themselves. Other states aren't being as restrictive right now with CBD/hemp.

Strange world we live in, heavier enforcement on CBD, freely selling THC.

Interesting, I missed that. I'm from, but not in, only adjacent, and hemp is developing into a big business here.

TF Hot out there. Just did a bunch of interior trimming. Some strains are real high maintenance with interior shoots and growth.

i heard that the dispensaries are dropping off hemp and shitty hemp seeds and or males and hermis all over the state to pollen outdoor crops for the home grower so they dont lose any money while its flooded with outdoors.. smart business move. but grimy as fuck for the rest of us trying to get by after we bout to be snuffed out of this industry that mass is specifically making harder for the people who risked their freedom for this plant to get into the legal market

I weedwacked and cleaned the bottoms and pulled a ton of fan leaves to thin it out a bit. Put some supports up to get plants back strait up again after all the storms last week. Will get the real trellis structure up next week so the plants can stretch through as I only want to do it once. Fed and sprayed yesterday and plan to continue spraying and feeding for 2 more weeks then I will stop for full on flower. The tallest support in the pics is 11` , Good luck everyone!

Nice score. They should work out well. I've only seen 4000k at the hardware stores around me. They work too but I like 5000k a little more

Good score! Ace or Abuchon?

So all 8 for $60...thats insane cheap....i was looking at them but never saw them for $7.50 ea...what a score and LED too...i converted all my T5s to led a four years ago...and they are row of lil cobs from end to end and after 4 years of 24 hours a day on, only one single cob has burned out...and there are probably a thousand lil cobs with all the ones i replaced...Awesome find OG_NoMan ...DJXX

Working on my winter lighting too. Just grabbed a HPS DE setup on clearance @ htg for below $250 shipped. It's a 750W and not a 1KW, but came with a gavita bulb. Gonna run that with 2x 315W CMH that are hanging vertically, 5x8 room.

Got some of my unidentified orange mom running in a RDWC right now under those lights and can't wait to see the difference. Grown out of a bagseed 10 years ago, excellent terps under the CMH for past few years but just miss the yield of HPS.

It was a koopmans lumber and yes all 8 for $60. You can barely find a single bulb that cheap let alone a complete light very happy with this find. If anyone is near a koopmans they are running this sale for 2 more days

That's a crazy good deal on them lights, looks like Koopman's is in the eastern part of the state, none of them in my neck of the woods.

 

[NoSativaction]

I had no idea a koopmans was so close to me, looks like i might take a ride.
