What's new

cant compete with all the "domestic importation" please help

how would import from cali and colorado hurt a growshops business in a non med state? do you think those are the only states that grow pot? because of the black market, you have to think of the market as a series of trends, brought to fruition by hundreds of brokers, smugglers, dealers, drivers...there is no memo going out telling them all to charge the same or buy the same quality.

true but i think the quazzi legal status has opened the flood gates

Its the owner of the shop (they have two) and i know people on this board have made comments "like how will the basement grower survive?" l'm feeling it and they are too.
fortunately some imag brothers have given me a few pm with some eye opening great info about strains and places to look-hopefully adding some elite plants will make a difference for me

that is a very good yield for sour bubble.....way above average...you got my attention.

Got any pics?

Only pic I have is from a few weeks into flower, 9 plants in #5 pots. There are 2 phenos, unfortunately one of them liked to produce a few seeds (gone now). The other is golden. It grows fast and what's really weird is that it has really long spacing between the nodes. The bud pic is the one I kept. I had one more pheno that was more like the one I used to have but it grew really slow.

I'd stick with some of those sour /chem lines you have....they smell good yeild good, taste good and are frosty. Also you can finish then in a reasonable amount of time, and they have some head high in the buzz still. Sour D might not be the newest kid onthe block, but well grown sour will always move. I thnk knowing a strain well and being able take to a level of "great herb" will usually trump finding a better cut or seed and starting from scratch.

All elites started off as just some random seed. This clone only have's and have not's is lame. I think a lot of people just rely on clone's because they dont have the time to sort thru seeds or just dont know what to look for in a good seed plant.

Be a trend setter and not a trend follower and find your own elite or better yet make your own <--that will be the elitest of them all because only you will have it.

couldnt agree more , the few clone only 'elites' iv tryed have been good but i find better on almost every seed pop !!

i do 50 seeds at a time mostly regular flower them short and reveg the best one or 2 it doesnt take much longer than clones really , but i grow for pleasure not profit so suppose if time is money i can see why people are put off ,


i personaly think its a case of monkey see monkey do with these 'elite' clones

and this backwards mentality of thinking older is better, and that todays seedlines are garbage and you cant find winning plants in them lol pre 99 pre 88 pre pre pre ........... load of crap man lol

If your rooms are really dialed in and your genetics are on point then maybe it's your clientele. When I was a broker I was always able to easily get $5+ for a bow from my older customers...say 45 to 60 years old (and up). Even on a 5 pack they paid close to 5 a piece without fail. These folks know they can get lower quality import (beasters were more prevalent then, but the "new beasters" aka california vac-schwag too) for considerably cheaper but pay the premium for three reasons:

1.) They have the money.
2.) They want consistent quality.
3.) They want professionalism, courtesy, and respect from their supplier, they do not want to deal with a punkass drug dealer. This one is the most important IMO, because they all typically have something to lose (i.e. a house, a car, even a kid) if they get busted and seem to really respect someone who can safely and discreetly take care of their business.

I'm sure the above is also true for low-volume clientele as well...if I was flipping quarter bags and ounces I would still want to sell them to the older crowd instead of HS/college/20's age range, even though I'm in my 20's myself.

just my .02...

i think sites like these are good for an indicator on witch seeds to buy , but there are alot of vested intrests and fan boyisum on sites like these , illogical process's are used to gage weather seeds are good or not , just have to read some of the treatment seedbanks like green house and sensi get to realise peoples jaded views ,
and the fact that you can only mention seedbanks who sponser the site should tell you alot lol

that said this is a great site and have learned so much from it, the things this site is guilty of , almost 90% of the other weed sites are guilty of the same :)
 
Stay the course

Stay the course

met with new patients today....and it was interesting.

Still....people are funny...They wanted the Alien Tec X Chemdawg....Alien Dawg...which is super fire...loud smell....and rich in crystals...and them complained when it did not have an OG skunk smell..........now no where is this line is skunk...or an OG....but the smell is overpowering and when he opened the bag...I was 4 feet away...and it hit me instantly.......this was indoor...jar cured for 60 days top shelf medicine....and the guy....donated for it....but frickin complained the whole time.....I mean JEEZE......then complained when he says it was 2 grams short of a unit....and when I pointed out that he had the sample jar...with 6 grams...in it...that was taken out the the unit to show him....he said.....oh....ya....right.....I guess it was right......JEEZE.

I would say all the patients who are the end user...they love the medicine....it is the guys who you know are re-selling it....are picky punks...who really do not even know...what it take to produce dank...as hell indoor....it just a unit to them....to me its lots of hard work.
