South Rules in Pot Production of US !!

[LolaGal]

I saw an article in the paper yesterday, and it said West Virginia, Kentucky, and Tennessee were 3 of the top 5 states in MJ production!

The South has rose again! LOL.

So Ya'll are smoking some Southern Buds for sure

One plot busted in the paper had 150,000 plants in one field!

I think that was in Tennessee, can't remember. Must be the weed... lol.

Yep, was over in the mountains People always seem surprised by this, but while Cali is always ranked #1 in production, Kentucky and Tennessee are always swapping out between #2 and #3

 

[ShoeboxSherman]

Yeah that bust was over toward Jellico. Like NT says, lots of Cannabis grown in KY and TN, always has been.

Only problem is that a lot of these grows are going on in state or federally owned park land. I am all about resistance but screw that. The damage done to parks and the danger that such growing creates is just uncalled for. As for the south, if we can ever get rid of the draconian laws and penalties maybe we can actually do something. I wouldn't mind paying taxes if I could do this legally. In all actuality I think it would be the right thing to do considering some of the southern states are heavily republican but couldn't find sound fiscal policy with a map, a gps, two flashlights, and a water stick. I mean hell if you think you are fiscally conservative yet your state takes more federal dollars in aid than it pays in something is wrong. But yes, a lot of growing happens down here and I have tasted some sweet stuff from some mountain grows but if it is at the expense of safety in our parks and the natural state of those parks I am totally against it.

I have family in shasta county, spent a good deal of time out there over the past couple of years... very very nice stuff out there, better than anything I got in any other part of the state and most of the time I got it from guys with cow feces all over there overalls. Or this one guy who drove over on his 4 wheeler to deliver some, beautiful stuff, mountain ganja delivery service has a ring to it no?

federal land, park land, private land, it's all good.

What once was a farm, is now a federally overtaken and is declared a park or something.

It's all good land.

Damage done to the land? If you mean that the land is fertilized, and left in better condition than it was found ? Don't sound like damage, sounds like soil enrichment to me..

You are off topic.

Chemical fertilizers leeched into pristine streams is not enrichment nor is the swaths of land aka ecosystems typically destroyed in large scale grow ops. Run off from grow ops is not good unless they are being fertilized naturally. Again, the people living in these grows and defending them with guns and traps aren't helping the guerrilla growers case either. Your pictures of your guerrilla grows are how it should be done, one plant here, one plant there not weeding the ground around the plants etc.

As far as being off topic I don't see how I am off topic here. You posted something about southern states ranking highly in MJ production and I simply asserted that much of that is in public park land and that I don't agree with that.

The southern nugs rule! I grow a lot of stuff from the TN/KY border. I've brought a lot of outdoor stuff indoor. One day the rest of the country will see the stuff hidden here. Just do a search for marijuana bust TN or KY. You'll see we do it big around here. Well, not me.

 

[LolaGal]

I agree, one plant here and there is the way to do it.

I guess some peeps are out to grow commercial. Not me. I wanna smoke it all!


IMO, those pristine streams are choked with runoff from legal farming, so what's the little dab of stuff from MJ grows gonna hurt? We don't use the stuff those corn farmers dump into the rivers.

And most of the rivers around here come with free Yankee pollution from upstream that is from stuff being dumped in the rivers by Monsanto, etc.

I just don't think that MJ farming on public lands will do a lot of harm.

Of course there is always the commercial grower, who should be spanked. That goes for the soybean farmers too!

I won't even go into what the coal mines did the streams of the South....

Take a Southern River from this region... Ohio, Tennessee, Mississippi... They are all so poisoned with chemicals, that only recently does the govt. say it is OK to eat one meal a month from the river's harvest of fish, etc. Prior to that it was too poisoned.

Now it's only poisoned, so eat a catfish...

MJ ain't the problem, it's commercial stuff polluting, IMO.

Have I convinced you yet?

No doubt there are MJ busts in my county and surrounding counties all the time but meth has been the drug of choice for production around here for years. We even renamed (not officially of course) one of our neighboring counties to reflect meth in the name. That being said, good stuff can be had where I am but it is expensive. That is more because I am in an urban environment where the market is dominated by mexican seedy stuff and some local grown stuff that is more often moldy and dirt like than bud. So premium stuff is pricey here and it usually isn't even sold by name only called exotic or import or something bs like that. Every once in a while you will find someone claiming they are selling kush, always a laugh when you find them. Good stuff finds its way here but it is way hyped and overpriced which is why I am here learning about growing for myself Joining the counterculture I guess... Lol.

Depends on where you are and where your runoff comes from. If you are in the mountains your runoff isn't going to be from farmers growing corn, soybeans, cotton, or tobacco which are the major crops in my neck of the south. I hear you about the problems coming from commercial farmers of all sorts, they pour all sorts of stuff into our rivers and pump so much water straight from the aquifer it is unbelievable. Another big problem in my state is power plants that dump mercury into the water and other pollutants. One of our rivers went from the most pristine to one of the most polluted in a matter of 8-9 years. Like I said, I have no doubt that large scale farming ops and manufacturing outfits produce the most pollution, to disagree is stupid. My issue is that some of these parks are the last places where some animals live. My state has multiple species that will be endangered within the next 10 or so years and many of them are centered around wetlands that are hardest hit when farming runoff is concerned. I am all for keeping those places as clean and safe as we can. Like I said, I wish it were just legal so people wouldn't have to go into our parks to do it.

I bought weed for over ten years here and never once came upon a named strain. We have "Dro, Kind, Mids, Swag, Reggies." I hate it. The outdoor mids will usually beat the pants off the "Kind and Dro." And yes Meth is a horrible problem here, people making bathtub crank around every fookin corner. It really doesn't help the redneck persona.

Mids and shwag, thats what every dealer tells you. "I got mids and shwag man." "You got any purple?" "WTF man? I said I got mids and shwag, I aint never even seen no pUrple!" LOL!

Actually, you tend to see more of the park issue in Cali. In the mountains of TN, you've just got a lot of cheap land

Very true but I do a fair bit of camping and hiking and I have found plots, albeit small plots (less than 100 plants) in multiple parks in my state. Luckily I never ran into some of the traps that some of those guys put around their grows like fish hooks, pitfalls, snap back traps, and small game traps that can break your foot.

I'm the same, like to hit the trails and the backcountry at least a few times a year. Usually one good spring trip, a few summer trips, and an autumn

Haven't seen it be a big problem though, in the overall scheme. Viewed from the perspective of how much is grown compared to how much is on public lands, I think we do pretty good at respecting our parks.

There's always a few assholes tho...

I agree, one plant here and there is the way to do it.

A lot of mountain folks are still learning methods and advantages of guerilla grows. Their crop yields will increase as they become more adept at small patches, camo, tying plants down to increase yield and reduce visibility, etc. Local LEO will become even more overgrown than they are now as they try to find small patches hidden all over the mountains.

Outsiders who are brought in for eradication don't know the terrain, and are at an extreme disadvantage. The cops will end up chasing their tails in the mountains. Over time less plants are found and ripped, more ganga goes on the market, and the growers (most are poor) earn some much-needed cash.

There will always be meth, but the good old US demand for ganga will provide a powerful incentive for more grows in remote southern patches. There is a long tradition of bootlegging in these areas, especially the mountains. West Virginia is another big producer; Cannabis is far and away the #1 cash crop in WV.

Yup W Va was in the first post I consider them Southerners....

They are top 5 too!

I agree, most of the land in the South ain't got over cotton being grown on it yet. MJ would be so beneficial with those lovely rootwads decaying in the soil, enriching it!

Most of the hoots and hollers are poor soil with mostly rocks, so it's great for planting MJ in small quantities. Makes it better, the soil, that is.

Anybody know where I can get some of those DykisBerg buds? They were all stinky, smelled like Christmas trees. Now that was some of the best dope I've ever smoked... tasty, tasty.

I would love to grow some of that strain. The stinky, Christmas tree, Pine Buds, we called em in the day.

I ain't seen none in a long spell.
