Are you in this as a business or are you a stoner trying to smoke? If it's the latter said:

I agree with you both. He is living his dream and learning and gets excellent advice from folks like you and the icmag community, in the process folks like me benefit too.
Out of curiosity, late 20s? Your advice come across harsh but with good intentions. I respect that.
idk man, last year our smallest bodhi was 6.5 and our average was over 8 per and that was with 400's and 800's. I hope i'm not aiming high but i'm expecting similar results if not better this year with a slightly earlier start, not using coco, and overall bigger pots and more sunlight, not to mention choosing the best 24 females of over 100 plants. But i would be toally happy with 5 per plant, or even less as long as it's high quality. dont have to split as many ways this season
ah man thats harsh, just cuz i want to save some broad leaf ladies?? i'm trying pretty hard this season. kind of. haha
i think i popped our seeds march 24 or 25. they are not very big yet but they are looking healthynow! growing an inch or so per day and tracking the sun from sunrise to sunset
next year brother, next year. i'm pretty happy with my starts right now though - i think things might work out despite not having a GH
i finally just payed for my soil , got oly mountain fish compost as a base with some malibu compost in there too.
The whole mix was like 6200 for 40 yards and 200 miles trucking, but rare earth wants me to call their trucking company and coordinate pickup. that's kind of weird right? they worked all that out for me last year. i just had to open my gate when the truck showed up
Final Final FINAL soil mix
40 yards total:
-12 yards 5/16" lava rock
-12 yards peat moss
-10 yards Oly Mountain fish compost
-2 yards Malibu compost
plus
240 lbs kelp meal
220 lbs crab meal
260 lbs gypsum
240 lbs oyster flour
120 lbs neem meal
100 lbs alfalfa meal
1000 lbs glacial rock dust
not going to have time to test this and adjust it, but this mix seems like it should work

One thing about growing large plants outside..or even farming in general...one slip can really cut into your final numbers long term, two slips will have you stressing
..three slips and you might become a grown man in tears...

yea they do that for trucking because alot of growers live in remote areas with shitty access roads and half the times the damn trucks can't get in. they tried to delivery the damn 100 yards of compost in a 48ft semi and couldn't navigate a hard turn, so had to turn them back and have them redelivery with the transfer load trucks.
yea and when those slips aren't even created by your own mistakes (i.e., the shit county you live in decides to ban all grows and send out teams of cops to every property to bust them)….gonna be more than tears out in these hills.
never could have imagined that i would feel fortunate to be able to put 24 plants outdoors legally. shit last year was able to do 72 big ones legally, took it for granted because now we can barely do 2. shasta, santa cruz, tehama, butte, yuba, eldorado, and a dozen more on the chopping block for cultivation bans. what a great state we live in….

Its amazing we manage to get through the BS. My neighbors in shasta are getting hit even without anyone living there or any plants being grown. The cops took my friends gate of its hinges, and proceeded to take 40 Lbs, his chain saws, and any other equipment they were interested in. AND somehow there's no record of any items being confiscated? Very few of us were able to transition to another state or county. I feel fortunate to have gotten the fuck outa dodge!
Of course up here in Oregon they can't seem to find a reliable trucker s to save their life, I've been waiting on 400 yards of soil that was supposed to be delivered a week ago. I guess it never ends...
You can pull it off if you really try hard. What's the test like on that oly fish compost ...
What happened to your partners? Did you fire them, did they quit, or what?
you need one of these, bro. i mean what are you , a businessman or a fucking stoner kid?
I know how you feel. The year i moved out here i saw my friends garden down the street and they had 200+ plants in 300's, said the cops had seen it and ok'd everything. then the next year they passed 24 plant limit before i could do anything like that.
havent seen any test on it, i'm going on a few people's good reviews and because rare earth had it available right now
There were a few times when i was younger when i basically lost everything i had because of hanging out and trusting the wrong people. so i dont get too attached to expectations anymore. It seems like kind of a defeatist attitude but I am tired of working my ass and thinking there will be some great reward, so now i just kind of expect shit to go wrong and it usually does and so i never get too upset anymore
