I’m in Cali, once it was legalized, they started popping up every where. There are 17 within 10 miles of me, and they are outrageously expensive. $40 an 1/8th for less than stellar product. You aren’t missing anything other than the experience.
But… where I find dispensaries valuable is in trying new strains BEFORE I buy the beans. I was about to pull the trigger on 2 different strains and bought an eighth of each from the locals for $80. Those strains did not work well for me so saved about $120 in seeds I wouldn’t have wanted to grow.
Edibles are another benefit, get try out different ones at a relatively low cost, but still expensive compared to making your own.
Well the results speak for themselves! Was this strategy just to avoid shock/slowdown?
Are you planning this on the next plants? Sorry for all the questions.
You certainly got plenty of tops just by training. Amazing plants & yield.
Thank you I appreciate the kind words. Don’t be sorry for asking questions. That’s how we all learn. I like to share the info I have!
Yes, I did it to avoid any slowdown. I am trying to get as much as possible this winter to avoid a big summer grow. I have found that sometimes auto will slowdown when topped or fimmed. I personally have given up on fimming because I never got a good return doing it. Some have great luck I never did. Topping I have had more success with and plan to do it this grow on a couple.
I also take into consideration the plants growth rate and how healthy it is. If a plant is growing slow, topping it could stunt it. Something that is growing rapidly can probably take a topping.
Thanks bro that means a lot. It’s taken me two years and a lot of learning with trial and error. I’m hoping for a great grow this winter! Thanks again for the kind words.
I’m setting them in the pots tomorrow. I’m gonna suturate the coco with Jacks a lil Mycos and cal mag to runoff then in a few days I’ll turn it on. How does that plan sound Brother? Or could I just turn it on?
By the looks of them the roots will be at the bottom of every pot when you transplant. I would give them one top watering after transplant. Let them dry out a day or so then switch the pots on. Can’t wait to see what these plants do.
That’s kinda what I was thinkin. Everything I read says let it get established in the pots for a week or so.
I was hoping a few days would be enough. Thank you for your time Brother.
