MASSIVE OUTDOOR GROW

[Julian]

IJ......Some more for you:
Everything mentioned is exactly how everything is done and functions....

Call bank tomorrow, with this knowledge, and ask them. Call accountant tomorrow, with knowledge, and ask him

As you see......You have already fallen prey to things mentioned earlier in thread...(You have allowed those with no actual knowledge to generate uncertainty........)

Check all for yourself...and, you will already be ahead and more knowledgeable than those whom created that uncertainty.......

Do....The amount of knowledge that can be gained from several simple, short phone calls is incalculable....

Have a question about dba classified? Call paper, ask them....Have a question about banking, accounts? call them, ask them....Have a question about dba? Pull up your county site, look, and call them ...

Every single piece of info I have ever shared is possible for anyone, anywhere, anytime to obtain (for the most part...some experience, but, in general...all can make a couple 2 minute calls and learn the same....brokers and the stated loans.....requirements.......it's all public knowledge......(If you are curious and want to learn more? Go to the source....Most of the time happy to give you a couple minutes....)

You want to achieve more? Then simply do

It IS that easy

Now......I'm going to point something out for you......not to come down on you........not to **** with you......simply so you see, and realize something, and, can acknowledge it when you do it in the future.....

400+/- detailed posts I have here.....in depth...in detail...almost step by step.......

Yet you displayed uncertainty based on 1-2 trolls saying "nah, bullshit"....

They didn't offer anything valid, anything of substance......they did not counter, not correct anything said or any points made....

Yet, for some reason, you saw fit for those single posts of no substance made by those with no credibility to produce uncertainty....



Do you know why?

Because it's much easier to believe you can't, than you can

You hear the phrase: "If it's so easy, then why isn't everyone doing it"....

Well, I gave a dear friend a chance to make 120k without even really getting off his couch.....

He didn't take it though...did he?

They aren't doing it because they choose not to

Nothing more ....

Many don't want you to succeed, because then you will be "better" than them....which people are notoriously uncomfortable with

Once people start to do things.....and move forward...they start to become much more aware of this.........(people who discourage another...with no justification.....)

I'm not one of those

Further example...(I go into this all the time in real life...)

You have 2 kinds of people...(execs..owners, etc...)

1.People who will say "eh, that's okay, I can show you, it's very easy.....you can learn it no problem".....

Then..........Then......you have the:

2."Are you crazy?...you need more education, you need more experience.....You can't just do this....your not qualified..."

(Both above describing the same job/task/position ....)

Make some calls tomorrow, do some thinking.......You will find everything you know today to be in question to be then something you fully understand and can pursue simply in future

You can always tell who is real and who is not by their statements

Or.......to put it another way......

Just because someone says you cannot...does not mean you cannot

It means they believe they cannot ...

(And, of course, since they have never tried...obviously.....there's your answer )

I can't?...Well...since I have in many cases, many, many , many times.....I know I can...

2 kinds of people in this world.....The "I can't" people, and the "How do I..." people

Only thing that determines which one is, or becomes, is themselves ....

Capice?

 

[InjectTruth]

Ya lost me with moved in with parents and not have nut...(I know "nut" as monthly outlay, mortgage, etc....)

I was living with her and her folks, so I had no bills. When we broke up, I had to get my own place, hence 'nut'.

Let's get one thing out of the way right now: Not filing is a criminal act. If your banking? You should be filing..(actually should be filing even if not if your within guidelines for filing....not sure about lower income levels...think it's something like 6k or something like that..(Could ask anyone....call accountant, even call like H&R block and they'd tell you over phone....)

(I really have no idea about lowest levels and requirement..know certain level....)

Yeah, Ive never made more than a couple hundred bucks on the books in a given year. Was told you didnt have to file if you made under 10k annual. I thought about H&R but was under the impression that they would steer me into using their services rather than give me free info.

1.I would be a little concerned if you have a documented "lifestyle" with price tag attached and have never filed to match it.....(little concerned.....I'd ask someone about that....)

I dont have much of a 'lifestyle', just an apartment with a roomate for the past year. Before then I was in my girls crib for 3 years, then several years running amok before that. So i feel safe to say that I just need to be on top of it from here on out.

I will be filing for a dba after asking some more questions tomorrow for my ebay business anyway, so I guess I will start small, padding my deposits a little here and there until I learn more and get the gist of things.

Also, I just finished school, and filled out some applications, so a job is on the way as well. I suppose I should look into getting those 3 cc's as well.

As far as cc's go, do you need to carry a balance to increase your credit, or will paying it off in full every month provide the same benefits? I like to get things cleared away, but have been told this is detrimental to credit rating.

1.Sounds like you should stabilize before taking on house and/or business..(what are you going to do ig bad month...bad couple months......should always be stable before getting into such commitments....

I agree 100%. I had an idea in the back of my mind, I was looking into the 'cheapest houses in the us' and came across upstate ny, like binghamton and buffalo. There were places as low as 20,000. split into multiple units. A mortgage on that would be less than most people spend on coffee and alcohol, not to mention I could put almost all of it down if I had to (was able to legally). Imagine 20k with 10 down? Whats that like $75 a month See where Im going with this?

I was curious about getting something like that and having a property management company handle all the work and mail me a check. With a large number of properties in the range of 20 - 50k, I feel like its a good area to 'learn the ropes' by actually DOING, like you said, because if anything goes wrong, all I have to come up with is a hundred bucks a month until its paid off or I can sell it.

People throw away money on dumb shit all the time, I would gladly invest 200 - 400 a month out of pocket on an eductional experience that could lead me to huge things in the future, in lieu of status symbols and nights out. Like anything, you start small and work up.

3.Credit? Simplest one of all.....(what are you driving?)....Can get couple cards oinline (you want 3)....minimal credit limits, but, the lines are what you want..(ie: you want 3 tradelines...)

b. If you can't? Then get 3 secured cards..(ie: you send them 500, they send you card for 500...eventually probably switching it into unsecured, you get money back, etc, and, credit lines increase...Credit is simple part....

I knew a guy who bought the carlton sheets package. It said to get three cd's for 1k at 3 banks. Get a 3 different 1k loans at different banks, using the cd's as collateral. Pay the loans back and voila, good credit.

Bullshit? or some truth? With a credit card, or 3 rather, how long does it take for credit to build?

Business a little easier (as would be buying from private owner, who may or may not have credit pulled, but, cash also makes a difference and actually who you are. Assuming situation above, would think a smaller business (under 100k)....so....you'd still be looking at 20-30k probably minimum plus ideally some reserves in cash to cover bad months.....

Whats the 'cheapest' industry to buy in to? Something already up and running. If it nets $500 a week Im happy. I've been looking into italian ice/hot dog carts, but thats a whole 'nother project.

Either way man....I think best bet is to build some stability and cash.....You never want to enter into either with no income source, no reserves, etc..(Of course most was mentioned in relation to people who work, and, are also growing, with a consistent stream coming in from both/either......From $0....well, have to start building a little my friend...grab a couple cards, secured or unsecured.....build some reserves......etc....

I hear ya, its a double edged sword. I cant afford a house, but if I had a house, I could come up with the mortgage somehow

(Call bank tomorrow and ask )

First call, bank, "Hi, Im looking to open up a business account and was wondering what I needed to do?"

Thanks Julian.

Whoa, easy killer! Not sure what was even said, never mind "falling prey" to "trolls" of "no substance" and "uncertainty"

Seriously though, I only read your posts Julian, but Im glad you got a chance to let that out.

 

[phrank]

just wanted to say thanks...

just wanted to say thanks...

Julian-

Just wanted to say thanks for the inspiration!!! Really wasn't able to do much this year because of living arrangements and finishing up grad school. But rather than get down about my situation, I asked myself what you would do. I determined that you would get busy getting ready for next year, and that's exactly what I've been doing... Seed lists drawn-up and ready to go into the mail. Days off spent locating suitable spots, and boy did you open my eyes in that regard, as I do believe I've been overlooking the best locations for the longest time. Anyway, once again, thank you so much for the motivation!!!

a kindred spirit,

phrank

[GorillaGrower]

InjTruth.. be careful of bingerton althought they do have a very good school there .. the place has been at the bottom of downhill for 10yrs or more. binghamton is like a war zone compared to the area 25 yrs ago.. just saying buyer beware. but GL.

Julian.. the pics shown are great.. but like you say.. you've explained it in 2 threads to the point where.. any reader could of pictured it in their minds. the pics are almost a let down because they only show exactly what you've talked about.. I guess everyone was expecting to see a 10 acre field in the swiss alps.
and a letdown in only a good way.. I think everyone is used to a thread about showing your grow.. were this is kinda a concepts and execution thread.

Here's a couple ?s if ya got the time
I've read about the DBA a little.. and even talked to a bank about it. they said if it was small I could just get another account and use that to deposit in. no prob
otherwise to go bigger you need to get an accountant.. .. so when you talk to the accountant.. he want sto get extra personal and want way to much info (obviosly its his job to save money .. but that's the opposite of intentions).

I guess the ?s are What exactly is a dba needed for? -only for opening a business account in 'certain' areas? at a bank? or is it.. the actual creation of the business.. and its the only way to start paying taxes?
Would you really need an accountant for this? -there's not much to deduct.. so it seems like a fairly easy file?no?
It seems a the accountant isn't really needed for the business to be started.. but maybe the bank manager figured i would want it done right ie tax deducts and the like.

ps I apologize for not disengaging in the convo earlier.. sorry for letting the topic get off subject.. i apreciate your ability to stay cool and change subjects back to business.. sorry for not recognizing that while me rants. of course i've been in the convo since the first post.. and by now i hadn't realized theres a huge audience ;D

 

[Julian]

I was living with her and her folks, so I had no bills. When we broke up, I had to get my own place, hence 'nut'.

Got it....

Yeah, Ive never made more than a couple hundred bucks on the books in a given year. Was told you didnt have to file if you made under 10k annual. I thought about H&R but was under the impression that they would steer me into using their services rather than give me free info.

Got it....yeah, it's something low like that, not sure..(maybe 6k?....I think the minimum for the 1099's is like 600 bucks...) HR was just an example, and, question like that I am sure could get answered.....(ie: Do I need your services because.......etc, etc)

I dont have much of a 'lifestyle', just an apartment with a roomate for the past year. Before then I was in my girls crib for 3 years, then several years running amok before that. So i feel safe to say that I just need to be on top of it from here on out.

"Lifestyle" just meaning.....you know...whatever it would be for you....

I will be filing for a dba after asking some more questions tomorrow for my ebay business anyway, so I guess I will start small, padding my deposits a little here and there until I learn more and get the gist of things.

Well, now we get to something else also......GG mentioned below actually...

Do you need a dba?....

No! Many people just do everything through their own personal checking....(much more than most think I am sure...),but, I would say do it, since so cheap...the more activity one will have, the more they should.....

(See, here touches on a lot of details, etc....why, when,where,how's, etc....)

Also, I just finished school, and filled out some applications, so a job is on the way as well. I suppose I should look into getting those 3 cc's as well.

As far as cc's go, do you need to carry a balance to increase your credit, or will paying it off in full every month provide the same benefits? I like to get things cleared away, but have been told this is detrimental to credit rating.

1.Scoring is very close to a mystery.....

We know that:
A.Tradelines that have a good track record (no lates) will increase scores....
B.Larger limits over time will also help scores....
C.The greater ones balances go in relation to limits, hurt scores...
)ie: let's say one has a 5k limit, and, is maxed out......pay down 2k and might ad.......30 points to score......but, again, just an estimate, no one knows how many points are related to exact acts....no one.....anywhere, not even at bureau's....nor will anyone ever say so.....)

If you were to pay off balance in full each month, would be fine I am sure....

In short......you should use it.....but, the more you use it (higher balance in relation to your limit), the less beneficial it becomes to a degree..(in your case, with no credit...would still be good period to start establishing it....)

Credit......a dangerous thing.........so....be aware...(people....cc's....tend to get carried away ....)

I agree 100%. I had an idea in the back of my mind, I was looking into the 'cheapest houses in the us' and came across upstate ny, like binghamton and buffalo.

I recently heard Buffalo has like one of the highest ratio's of single women in US



Something to that effect ....

There were places as low as 20,000. split into multiple units. A mortgage on that would be less than most people spend on coffee and alcohol, not to mention I could put almost all of it down if I had to (was able to legally). Imagine 20k with 10 down? Whats that like $75 a month See where Im going with this?

I see where your going but bottom end is usually bottom end

Also...always preserve capital if possible.....(ie: Why put 10k down when you might only need 1k down and might cover itself? Leverage.....all about leverage and reserves.....)

I was curious about getting something like that and having a property management company handle all the work and mail me a check. With a large number of properties in the range of 20 - 50k, I feel like its a good area to 'learn the ropes' by actually DOING, like you said, because if anything goes wrong, all I have to come up with is a hundred bucks a month until its paid off or I can sell it.

They don't work for free you know .......Forget management companies until it becomes a necessity..(and then you might want to form your own anyway instead of hiring one ......)

People throw away money on dumb shit all the time, I would gladly invest 200 - 400 a month out of pocket on an eductional experience that could lead me to huge things in the future, in lieu of status symbols and nights out. Like anything, you start small and work up.

All very wise.....

I knew a guy who bought the carlton sheets package. It said to get three cd's for 1k at 3 banks. Get a 3 different 1k loans at different banks, using the cd's as collateral. Pay the loans back and voila, good credit.

Bullshit? or some truth? With a credit card, or 3 rather, how long does it take for credit to build?

Ahhhhhhh Carlton Sheets! See, if memory serves me correct (someone borrowed me his package like.....20yrs plus ago).....Actually, he had some good stuff to say, but it was not applicable to every market!!!..(I remember he preached a lot about getting into FHA assumables, etc...Phoenix was a great area for that (I used to hang around there a lot)....Could get off a plane with 20k and get back on by nightfall with 2MM in holdings ...)

(I think he also preached securing things and using the "and/or assignee"....)

Actually, same concept I suppose, and, more legwork (setting up the different accounts as opposed to just doing it online in 5 minutes ....these days, no shortage of free credit cards.....

These days, almost can get a couple cards...(note: See, how they work is this........They issue you a card initially for like.....whatever...$200....but, basically charge you or something in fees to issue you it ...and interest on top of it Really a good business (from their end....I looked into it a couple years ago.....issuing cards, etc.......) So......when one gets those cards to build credit...essentially, your basically paying to establish and get credit back on track (this also applies to people coming out of a BK, etc, want to get everything back on track, etc), so, as above......I mean, as soon as you are able (your credit, score), you want to get rid of those and get into other cards.......

Whats the 'cheapest' industry to buy in to? Something already up and running. If it nets $500 a week Im happy. I've been looking into italian ice/hot dog carts, but thats a whole 'nother project.

The list would be too large but, offhand......Construction is always a nice choice......(ie: Could charge someone 500 to paint for a day.......750 to lay a kitchen floor, etc, etc, but, skills come with that, etc.....

Wouldn't even know where to start....More so it's what do you WANT to do......and, you try and work it from there.....

I hear ya, its a double edged sword. I cant afford a house, but if I had a house, I could come up with the mortgage somehow

Well, you start from where you are......(That is actually addressed earlier in thread....so........)

First call, bank, "Hi, Im looking to open up a business account and was wondering what I needed to do?"

Thanks Julian.

No problem. Whatever I can do...

Actually, you would say from above/different post.....(because the above statement will lead them in a different direction and begin a longer conversation........You'd simply ask (tell ) them starting a small side business......what do you need....dba, etc...

(Again, one can actually channel all through a personal checking......you don't need a dba to operate a side business.......business account allows for more freedom of cash deposits, and, also, if/when legit, feedfs into payments (ie: getting a check made out to "joes side business".....etc....you'd need a dba on file for that account to cash "joes side business" checks.....of course...I'm sure all understand this....otherwise, anyone, anywhere, could take checks made payable to a business and just deposit........dba is, after all, "doing business as"....

Couple notes:
I apologize for replies being a little "dry"...Lot of times I might only have a few minutes and want to hit all replies, subjects, etc, so....Just comes out that way......

Whoa, easy killer! Not sure what was even said, never mind "falling prey" to "trolls" of "no substance" and "uncertainty"

Seriously though, I only read your posts Julian, but Im glad you got a chance to let that out.

Wasn't uppity in the least......You said:

but the things you've said go against what many say is possible (cash business, dba, pay quarterlies. It cant be THAT simple, can it?)

Sorry if misinterpreted, but, points all still valid.....wasn't uppity or anything....Was just sayin

 

[Julian]

Anyway, once again, thank you so much for the motivation!!!

PS Can the Maroc be cloned..?

Very kind of you to say, and, as always, glad you found of interest and of some use (practical, in practice, etc...)

One cannot underestimate though the danger and caution that must be exercised in going after new spots in more populated areas, and , a no maintenance is definitely the way to go.....(I think I lost my city spot with up to 700 in it......bright side is that a lot of those were later planted so were just getting started, so, half might still be there Nov for seed (Had some M/F's over there...)

You know......I have never really cloned the fems (because, as previously, whole reason why I utilize them in first place is go kill lead time.....If I am cloning than I just run what I want and work with that......as fems limited selection..or, cost issues also......ie: Lot of fems get fairly pricey also.....I'm not paying too much for them....one example that comes to find is PS SS fems...(Paradise Sensi Star.....not paying 150 for 10...or...in bulk, one can factor in a discount and go from there..(1500 per 100....then discounts, etc) ....another reason why I like FMS...cost is reasonable......etc....You could go into their vendor forum and do a little research if you wanted to, or, site search also and see general consensus......I would assume you could......but, I'd want to double check first....I just never have really, so, would want to verify I wouldn't have any problems....(also, issue is their are all not perfect.....you may have problems occasionally down the line, so.....I wouldn't want to hit one heavy and then have the problem multiplied by 200 (what I usually try to target per mom...)

 

[Julian]

Julian.. the pics shown are great.. but like you say.. you've explained it in 2 threads to the point where.. any reader could of pictured it in their minds. the pics are almost a let down because they only show exactly what you've talked about.. and a letdown in only a good way.. I think everyone is used to a thread about showing your grow..

Inserted to illustrate points.....nothing more

Well I think those who really are as smart as they think they are know why I post what and how I do ...

were this is kinda a concepts and execution thread.

Just like other.....always was.....(You can tell who reads and who doesn't by their statements.... )

I guess everyone was expecting to see a 10 acre field in the swiss alps.

What? Am I Shanti?



(Such approach though, for my locations, goes completely against security and my methods.......so.....unless talking a larger mini run.......which may, or may not find it's way into a post this season ......)

Many know that there are always other handles that sometimes have some really nice pics ....

Many also know what is the identifying factor in those.....Names can change.....posts can change (sometimes none)...but, always a single constant factor in pics ......

Those/that I share with who I choose, when I choose.......quite simple.

Here's a couple ?s if ya got the time
I've read about the DBA a little.. and even talked to a bank about it. they said if it was small I could just get another account and use that to deposit in. no prob

Yeah, I saw this and wrapped it into the above...(maybe was another test )...Actually, many who run "side business's" just use existing checking and savings, never do dba, don't have to either.... Most examples listed in indoor thread would probably fall under that..(no dba, just use their personal accounts...not declare it..(unwise if banked..)

otherwise to go bigger you need to get an accountant.. .. so when you talk to the accountant.. he want sto get extra personal and want way to much info (obviosly its his job to save money .. but that's the opposite of intentions).

Yes and no......you don't have to...and, not necessarily......Accountants have a wide range of clients, with a wide range of professionals, sources of income and needs (I thought that was put very well )

Nah, theoretically, you could get dba, run 2MM through an account and deliver list of totals of your deductions to them...and go from there.....(They would of course then want as much info as possible in order to best serve you.....etc....(I used that rough example because early on that'
s basically exactly what I did....wasn't all my money, of course......but...that was about it...and then we started on other approaches and vehicles being of more benefit, wider range of deductions, etc, etc....)

No crime in having a rapidly growing successful business ...as long as they get their piece

I guess the ?s are What exactly is a dba needed for? -only for opening a business account in 'certain' areas? at a bank? or is it.. the actual creation of the business.. and its the only way to start paying taxes?

Let's backtrack:
1. D/B/A is "doing business as"....(again, could just use your personal accounts, but, business account is better the more activity you have relating to frequency and amounts...)

2. Business is business and will be determined by how much your running through it...(and how they treat you )

3.Same goes for if one was to incorporate...they would want copies of appropriate docs....(articles of incorporation, etc...)

4.Taxes: No, apples and oranges....you could, as above, use personal accounts for your business funds. Taxes are paid by check, or online Have nothing to do with how one banks......2 separate matters.....Taxes merely deal with the portion taxable depending on the method one utilizes (corporate would be done differently from sole proprietor, etc, etc....different rates, etc....as would everything also change if one is doing something sales related and having to deal with city, county, and state sales tax issues....)

(I don't do anything with sales tax.......have an idea....but, prefer not to deal with such things because just more paperwork......)

Taxation and such not my area of expertise, so...the above an overview....an accountant would add much more I am sure......but basis for all above is sound and accurate, just not as expansive as it could be....

Would you really need an accountant for this? -there's not much to deduct.. so it seems like a fairly easy file?no?

Ya lost me somewhere..(I had a call which got a little drawn out and detailed about something......)

Overview:
You can bank 100k, claim 100k, and claim many deductions, or none.....it's really all much simpler than most think....(ie: Most are intimidated when they begin such things....as things they have no exposure to and don't really understand, but, once underway, I mean, it becomes just part of your daily life and knowledge base......(I've been doing all my own stuff 15 years...so.....not a biggie in the least.....is what it is.......I think mostly just a changeover in though process...(from W2 to business...)

Accountant may6 recommend different structure (LLC, incorporate, etc)...Accountant may recommend and advise more (or less) deductions are possible than you previously believed, etc.......(I've been told many times to incorporate one of the business's I have, but, I mean, what, I will pay them (accountants) 5k+ a year to save an extra 10k and in the meantime add to matters which need my attention?.....No thanks Worth more to me to have less things to deal with.....I don't really care....I'll pay an extra 5 to deal with less bullshit (Your accountant can also handle whatever you like, be that more, or less...all depends on how much you want to pay them

It seems a the accountant isn't really needed for the business to be started.. but maybe the bank manager figured i would want it done right ie tax deducts and the like.

Apples and oranges again......Bank has nothing to do with anything else but your deposits and withdrawls......tax deductions are your business...not theirs...Banks will simply have procedure which accompanies transactions.......ie: dba/articles of incorporation on file for business account, etc.....

ps I apologize for not disengaging in the convo earlier.. sorry for letting the topic get off subject.. i apreciate your ability to stay cool and change subjects back to business.. sorry for not recognizing that while me rants. of course i've been in the convo since the first post.. and by now i hadn't realized theres a huge audience ;D

Not at all, no problem whatsoever....just as said...one of those subjects which goes in circles..(good subject, interesting, everyone a lot to say...but, one of those topics which just go in a circle......) I think all had/have valid points.....just a limit to where it can go...etc.....

 

[pakalolo420]

It's almost a shame this thread is on a dope board. Much if not most of J's advice here would be equally valuable to anyone with an entrepreneurial spirit in any circumstances, even people that would never grow in a million years.

 

[OBSoul33t]

wow intense post gonna have to start over and read it again as i only skimmed it

Obs

 

[Julian]

It's almost a shame this thread is on a dope board. Much if not most of J's advice here would be equally valuable to anyone with an entrepreneurial spirit in any circumstances, even people that would never grow in a million years.

Just did a pretty long response which turned rather dark...(My history, how I know what I know, where I have been, what I have done, what I have seen, how such has come about....) decided not to post for now...pretty detailed...pretty serious stuff...

It is though...Thanks for saying...Hope all is well in your world btw...

 

[pakalolo420]

It's all good here, thanks. I've learned to live quite free of excitement, drama or complication, don't need the ups and downs any more. Well in measured doses at least it's good. Not too much

 

[Julian]

You know, some additional notes that is applicable to almost everything in life....

The way someone views something of course is developed through their experience and exposure.......(And we go back to the senses of self ......who you are, your place in the world also....)

To person A........who does 20 plants.....100-200 is a lot......

To person B, who runs 1,000.....100-200 is "only a few".....

To someone who runs 5,000? 1,000 is a "only a few"....

And on and on it goes...all about perception experience and exposure....

I said elsewhere......to me? 5-10,000?....well, considering you have people running 50,000.......well, I mean, not really a big deal.....(you go into different environments and regions (countries, legit or not)....even 50,000? It's nothing....You got farms all over the word (probably thousands of them) pumping out 500,000 or more probably......All relative....so....I don't really understand what's the big deal about 5-10,000.......I mean, in whole scheme of things......not really that incredible...unbelievable....Just is.....anyone, anywhere anytime can do the same if they have space to prep and spots for them to go....

Same applies to above with business matters........changing ones perceptions and understandings....as above.......To people who function as self employed individuals? Business matters as above not only not a big deal, but, become really nothing.....I mean...someone can literally set themselves up in a 100% legit side business in 10 minutes or less for 100 bucks.....(dba, account, some ads, flyers, etc....) Simple as can be......Have more to spend?...then expand and proceed as appropriate....exposure, employees, accountant, etc, etc....

It's all broken down into manageable steps.....

People speak of brick and mortar ops? (ie: storefront)...personally?, until a certain point it isn't even wise to do so... (ie: Why would one want to incur more expenses unless it directly impacted their revenue....of course some would equate that with the chicken or the egg, how can one build revenue without it, etc, etc...but, lot of people do fairly well depending on what industry they are functioning in......Some industries and operations easier without a storefront, some can do furnished corporate for their presence...some can be web based presence, etc....

All depends what you are into and how you are doing and what you anticipate you will be doing...(but, unwise to base everything upon anticipated revenue until you are given some indicator that justifies that expectation....jmo.....)

Anyway, sure point is made..... Lost train of thought anyway

It's all good here, thanks. I've learned to live quite free of excitement, drama or complication, don't need the ups and downs any more. Well in measured doses at least it's good. Not too much

Sometimes hard to make the transition from one lifestyle to another, adapt....be content...

These days I find it quite easy to do without all of the above ...

Been doing a lot of lurking here. Best way to learn anything in life is to sit back and take it all in. You learn a lot more when you shut your mouth and just listen to whats being said. Put it in your mouth chew it up, swallow the relevent stuff and spit out the bullshit. The only hard part is sorting the good from the bad but its not too complicated as long as you have half a brain.

Anyways enough ranting just because I stumbled across this song and it applies well for everyone on this website just wanted everyone who was interested to take a listen. The song is called "Prisoners of War" and it may not be your type of music but its the lyrical content that counts.

Actually, there are about 50+/- pics in this thread. Basically entire gallery is from this run, (earlier rounds lost when I killed last name) and, linked to illustrate points made throughout.

(Anything in gallery always latest. When handle goes, pics go, I don't keep pics, and, on that note....to anyone who wants to catch up with thread, feel free, because usually I limit handles to about 400 posts/90 days, but figured I would hold off on this one until all that needs to be added has been....)

Julian-

In your opinion, who produces the better Purple Power - Dutch Passion or Female Seeds? Also, will you please let us know how the Maroc turns out in terms of quality.

Thanks,

phrank

I haven't had the DP version. I haven't yet sampled the FMS version, but, have heard already feedback saying it's much better than I thought it would be.....(which is good....)

The Maroc I haven't sampled either but was told by a couple people I dropped some too that as far as bag appeal, smell, quality, it's equivalent or better to some indoor that someone tried to pass to them for ps a couple weeks ago for 350 a z....

Note: Both above were dried, clipped, bagged and start of cure, and, passed off. (Because they looked at it, smoked some and said it was fine, they would take it despite my saying give it another week....) I kept a little because I don't touch anything before a 10-12 day cure..(I find that's about a minimum before I will smoke it...) .so, I still have about a week or so before I am even going to try it....

Maroc though very nice....will be running it again just in a different way, knowing how and what, etc, it will produce...(ie: earlier, veg time corresponding to it's finishing, etc, etc).....Have been VERY surprised at it overall (pleasantly). From what I have seen firsthand,.....about 2-3 variations of it.....so, have only clipped, dried, and tried one variation...the other 2 have maybe 2 more weeks to go....a little larger, more solid, and, different structures....(Maybe will get some pics next time of the differences....one group seems to be larger, denser, and, hairs pink...)

(I think Nirvana has a PP version also.......but, all in all, FMS seems most cost efficient....DP probably double the cost of FMS, as DP rather steep for a lot of things.......Nirvana probably half the cost but M/F...making it double to get same number of fems.....)

You know J you could probably turn the whole world seed market upside down with maybe 1,000 carefully chosen parent plants outdoors.
