Thanks again. In the zombie-like state I was in last night I completely forgot to credit Brown Dog Cannabis as the grower. It's my creation and I found the selection but it was their expertly grown flower that we collaboratively entered into the cup. Teamwork, just like the world renown SDF collabs. Trust me when I say I get asked about them at shows when I mention I'm from San Diego. Also Nico Escondido from HT grabbed a several packs specifically because of the A-Dub bx1 male I used for those.

Congrats, EC. Also, a question, if you will. Since I haven't access to your feminzed CDB seeds, whose would you recommend? At the moment I'm looking @ Sin City seeds, as I definitely want CBD flowers that still have a desirable aesthetic form. Thanks :)

Congrats EC! That cup is going to look excellent in the trophy case :tiphat:

Thanks Cadfael, glad you liked the Honduras.

Dried chop on the AOCxADE at 10 weeks under 250w of screw in LED:

The manually pollinated lower branches (branches pointing left) are loaded with AOCADE F2s. To make things a bit confusing, it looks like just about all of the top branches are beaned up with AOCADE x Honduras seeds. Thankfully the two seeds are slightly different sizes - the Honduras seeds appear to be larger and slightly more developed (very strong tiger striping) than the AOCADE F2s.

I wouldn't be surprised if there are a light mix of both seeds in the top branches. AOCADE F2s will be squat and very indoor friendly whereas the AOCADE x Honduras should look more similar to this in veg:

and this in late flower (though this plant is a bit over-flushed):

Ok, folks, I was approached at a recent cannabis event by a company, evergreen economics, who has been hired by SDGE to gather information about the future of electrical usage by canna-businesses in our county.

They tell me all personal information is strictly confidential. They would also like bigger growers or people who are planning to become bigger growers (or other businesses) in the future to include their input.

Cannabis Workshop with Evergreen Economics and SDG&E
Scheduled: May 8, 2017, 6:00 PM to 7:30 PM

If you are interested in this, please PM me. And I will give you the persons email and the location of the meeting.

I am hoping that we can show SDGE that we are a a very big growth industry that would need a lot of their product (energy). I am hoping this would make SDGE become much more of an advocate and supporter of canna businesses and impress on our political leaders in the city and county to start giving us permitting and licenses.

I don't think I'd give them that kind of credit yet Subrob. I think they're trying to get as much advance info as possible to figure out how to maximally profit from their product.

If every one says we can't afford to grow ID at these prices, we're gonna go outdoors instead, they might see an advantage in dropping rates. but if everyone says how big of grow rooms they're gonna build, they'll just determine how high they can jack prices.

Thanks! Just got back home from 4 grueling yet extremely rewarding days and still floating on cloud 9. Have to admit that the combination of a longtime dream realized and how important my CBD work is to me that I came pretty damn close to crying. The strain that won was ACDC Cookies and one of the origanal CBD crosses that I made for my dad.

Did they change the cup design? That picture makes it look gorgeous. Chalice-like. The pictures i remember from past HT events, it seemed kind of trailer to be honest. Kind of dingy dark and the stem always looked a little bent. That pic looks classy as hell. Fill it with some of your winning strain and post that pic EC.

It's great that the strain was kind of an homage to your Dad. Hope to meet you at one of these get togethers, but until then, good work.

Thanks everyone! The support of my community is just as big of a reward.

You are correct. High Times commissioned artist Alex Grey to redesign the cup and the detail on it is amazing. That picture doesn't even come close to doing it justice.

now thats a nice trophy, there older ones are really pretty cheap all things considered. that on the other hand looks nice.

very clever to have the dedication on a screw on plate, means you can use them year for year and only have to redidicate them for each event.

the winners get a personalized dated cup and the expense is kept down through the bulk production. think we will have to learn from this for the ic 420 cup :D

Man this thread is sweet. Just had my 50ith b-day, been growing for 20 years, thought i had a green thumb and you guys make me feel like i am 12. The info and history all you guys have is crazy. Learning a lot and getting excited about the next round. Still cant get my picture orientation right, GRRR.

Congrats EC!

Also - very interesting to see people looking at the energy consumption angle of marijuana production. I do agree that they are gathering this info so they can maximize their profits, but lets be real - thats what everyone in business is doing. It's the level of integrity at which you operate that makes a difference - you can be a good person and completely money hungry, you can also be a shitbag and not give two fucks about money. Either way - really happy to see growing come out of the shadows!

It is one of the catch 22s about SDGE.

IF you can get the permitting from city or county, THEN you can register as an agriculture company, THEN you can call SDGE and say you are an Ag business and they will give you a lower rate.
