Yeah big holes produce big yield, a philosophy I was preaching when many were talking bout one gallon per foot of growth etc. So how big are my holes, and how much should I be yielding from them again???

Hey Tom in that last pic is that perlite on the soil outdoors? Some huge trees you have there. Makes me wonder just how big a marijuana plant can get. So is there a time frame with your S1 project? Would love to know whats on the horizon!

I think here on the east coast anything which produces a sleepy, indica like high is generally viewed as schwag. Not sure why that is but it seems to be the norm. So GDP, CHem etc. won't cut it. The sourD is more sativa so maybe thats why it does so well.

A lot of this has to do with who your workin with, but yea I would generalize the East Coast and down South connoisseur really demand sativas over indicas.

Everyone wants my SD or hazes while no one comments on the CD, OGKS, or the Cheese...I fuckin love the cheese (I rock the ghs version which imo is clearly a skunk x afghan cross super slam you in the face skunky with a great sweet fruit bouquet) and actually had someone tell me they wish for no more of it...lol. I can understand though no one wants to be so fuckin lazy they stay on shore instead of going out on their boards and drowning in riptide.

Now let's move you outside for a minute. Okay you have 99 holes, you can grow 350 units of GDP @ $1800 vs 700 of Blue Dream @ $1500. Okay go! :)

Good point Tom, now a better question for you:

You have 99 holes and you can grow 350 units of GDP or 700 of Blue dream, which one are you going to be able to sell?

You can't sell Blue dream easily. Its super tainted, every middleman/wholesaler I know wont touch it. Same thing is happening with Blackberry kush at the moment. Everyone grew it outdoors because it finishes before anything else, but because everyone grew it, can't sell it.

Also, I'm an indoor grower and try selling 5 indoor Blue dream when there are 10,000 units of outdoor for $1000 less.... I'm sure you get the point.

I would grow trainwreck outdoors if I had a choice or light dep GSC and get $2500-$2800 for the cookies.

The cut that Nomaad ran is the one that I'm talking about. Nomaad grown BD rocks. I have seen a different cut around and that same cut is found in a few different areas. I picked up some of that cut recently and people still liked it. My local friends have the same cut as Nomaad and others. Vigorous, chunky, dense, sticky, stinky, tasty, potent enough, good high type, easy to trim, holds up in moist environments well while other plants will really suffer, yields great, blah blah.

blue dream.. gdp... chem4? I gotta say, the commercial herb you guys peddle out in cali is a bit disappointing. Please don't take this offensively I'm just stating the obvious as a New Yorker. Only haze and sour d are regularly available over here so maybe my standards are a bit high as a result who knows?
Only thing I can tell you is the same BD I'm talking about does make it to the greater NYC area and people LOVE it. Unfortunately some people 'peddle' crap and probably happens more often on the east. You need better connections lol.

Its super tainted, every middleman/wholesaler I know wont touch it.
Anybody I know that can get their hands on quality BD snatches it up. Any time I see good BD I snag it. No problems here.

Mr C, aside from making dough and thinking that equates to intelligence, it has been my experience that middlemen are not much different than splitails - they have no clue what the fuck they want, and it don't much matter what they think they want today it will change tomorrow. If I had a nickle for every time they won't touch this or that on this trip only to ask if I got anymore of that on the next. It's an acid trip man. I had zero doubt you were an indoor grower :) I can spot em from a mile away :D Big smoke from the piece pipe brother. -T

Yep that dream Nomaad grows is a greazy biatch, and it's real, and I will get back to you about their genetics ;)

Suhweet :biggrin:. I really do like that one as a good all around cut. Not much weakness there start to finish all things considered.

I personally love me some sativa as much as any of those easterners. I never liked the gdp at all other than the taste but Ima tell you...that Blue Dream was pretty freakin good...had a stone under it but some other stuff going for it to. No clue which cut

I would be pretty proud to grow and move it in CO

whichever cut I had, most likely the SSH version, had about a two foot ceiling on effects lol there'd be no point in having more than a two small hits off a blunt cuz ya weren't getting any higher but everything else about the bud was on point ie: aroma, taste, looks

Couldn't disagree more on both counts. GDP is one of the best smokes of all time and I wouldn't touch blue dream with a 10' pole. The high is great and all, but there is no reason to grow it, nobody wants it.

I had no problem getting rid of mine. :biggrin:

Oh goody..... I'm in the GREEN area lol


the one thing I love about Cali is how open most folk are. My sister moved to teh Bay Area in 1995, because in tiny Wisconsin there were no other gay teenagers. Now my sister is my brother, and in all honesty nothing really changed besides the letter under sex on his ID.

The fact that MOST everyone is so open is really an astonishing achievement.

I don't live in Cali, but take trips out there. What I see is the OG family...particularly OG banana Kush. The Blue dream is another hyped up strain. ....Now I'm sitting here thinking and that was pretty much it. Everything had some kind of OG crossed into it.

On the East Coast its all about the Sour Diesels, Chems, Skunks, and more sativa dominant strains.

Sorry not JOKING!!

Sorry not JOKING!!

no it's true, we're a fucking joke! :tiphat:

OG and anything crossed with it, always popular.
other than that, in my neck of the woods it seems like anything goes. sour og and la con were going around for a bit in the last year. seems like whatever-og, sour-whatever, etc are the mainstays of the top shelf, while the mid/low shelves get a lot more variety from our up north brothers. i saw a lot of familiar names come through during last years' outdoor harvest - chocolope, cherry pie, C99, SSH, tangerine dream, even blue mystic haha.

GSC hasn't made its way down here to the south that i've encountered so far, most people i know in the area who aren't on the internet thing havent heard much if anything about it yet. will be interesting to see if/when the GSC gets hyped up in socal.
have been doing serious research and breeding for many years here weather is tolerable and laws have lightened up! But oo many of yall are coming here stay put!
