Forgive the shorter post (sure welcome by some )....I was actually thinking about wrapping this up for various reasons but not quite ready as wanted to add some very significant things before doing so....

Into to the above?.......well, I say all the time in life, and have shared here....my greatest moment of joy I can name in the field off the top of my head was in the pouring rain in a t shirt, covered with mud and blood......a sense of peace and satisfaction I wish all could feel at least once in lives...(outside of this group......)

"Choose a job you like and you will never have to work a day in your life"
Confucius

I will be neck deep shortly again in the game......and am thrilled to "be back" myself...know the feeling......but in my specific situations....some lifestyle and career aspects that makes me smile every day when I wake up ....

AF bulk a great subject actually....
Personally, I think the producers are shortsighted, and shooting themselves in the foot with current marketing and pricing. Pricing crossing the line into making little financial sense, (for bulk purchasing) and as a result, you have everyone making their own stock....ie: Instead of many purchasing $1,000 to $5,000 at a time....we'll buy $500 at most, and won't again cause will just have produced $500,000 in stock in 90 days that will last a season (some into future seasons....) Which would be my suggestion of course to anyone.....Their only value is early....later one could go with bulk fem from various sources for cheaper for same volume, so.....

If was reasonable price points, I'd love to do bulk....(I actually made inquiries some time ago into bulk purchases, and was met by accusations I wanted to steal the genetics, make crosses and sell the stock. I guess lucky for everyone that exchange didn't take place in person )

Hmmm.....I guess I left customer service out of the above flaws in current business strategies .....

A lot of most covered...(including power line areas)...

I was talking to someone yesterday (here) and the topic turned to this and sister thread is approaching 3 years.....

I don't know about anyone else....but for me?....Yesterday is a distant memory.....and I spend every waking moment trying to be twice the man I am/was tomorrow.....(Likewise.....I'm so far from who I was even a month ago, it's not even funny........)

A lesson to the young un's ....The sooner you realize this, the better....no one knows everything today....no one is finished growing ( funny pun) today.....Not when your 20...not when your 30...not when your 40...and hopefully not even when 50,60...Embrace the journey as such...you will find if you do?.....You will grow ( that much more...(and that much faster )........and in understanding that.....actually makes time go faster/or patience easier and everything that much more fun ....

I myself have in many aspects become the eager student lately......and I'm good with that....absolutely....(I'll be that much smarter, better, more effective tomorrow )

"Watch, listen and learn. You can't know it all yourself.Anyone who thinks they do is destined for mediocrity." Donald Trump

My own amusing quote of the month:
"Medical? Production is the easy part, it's the fuckin law degree that's hard"

(In the course of looking for certain things, at certain points...I have gone back.....and most actually I stand by this much later......others have changed around us (such as securing properties and such).....others remain exactly the same....(Business's, minis, environments, etc.....), and, in doing so and discussing, have identified many areas left out and worthy of being addressed.....(Things during the course of that time I have experienced....we learn more every day......and while I might in many cases execute the exact same way, the overview and exit strategy might differ )

In future hope to bring quite a bit more across all areas (in's, outs, 100% compliant in's and outs, a lot of other business commentary, properties also (none touched on because in process during course of this.....and dying to get to how I got out of last funk......think many people could gain quite a bit and possibly be able to do some great things.....(Also how I structured investments/loans....which amused most who know)

(Granted.....the above was a work in progress for quite a while with many revisions along the way....again something which could be explored in depth and I think many could draw something from...(The revisions, the changes in approach, the changes in the pitches, investor responses and arrangements,and so on......I find it more interesting and revising daily.....Not even close to being where I want to, but, with what I realize and understand daily......feel more certain that getting where I want overall now?.....Just a matter of time (dare I say nothing can stop it.....just a matter of time.....lot also related to "closing" the deal.....and again, the process to get there and how to vary approach depending on investor and their resources and mindsets...(literally, 1,000 ways to approach and structure to meet almost anyones preferences and comfort levels.....)

What does the above mean in case that escaped anyone?

Imagine being able to secure funding to start anything you want, anytime, anywhere, without a penny out of your pocket, make investor extremely happy, and pull satisfactory profit in the process?

Just waiting for some last things to drop , and everything to fall into place before wrapping it up.....so...bear with me....many things will start to settle down within next couple weeks (as I knock on desk of course )

"I've failed over and over and over in my life, and that is why I succeed"
Michael Jordan

Was discussing with someone the periodic conflict....the trolls.....even recently above more silliness, and, came out to basically one conclusion: 3 years of someones life?.....Well...I don't know about anyone else, but, I'm completely in.....(Unfortunately.....no one has really shared the same, so......guess I'll just have to wait until someone does ....)

My greatest reward is simply if one has made an extra dollar, saved an extra hour, or so on due to something shared...(see sig quote )

Anyway......

As such....maybe it's time to wrap this up as "Chapter I".....

Will close it out shortly and will have a MCOG Chapter II to follow....(Which should delve much, much deeper into many (fun) details.... )

Just finished reading through the thread. Reading on and off at my pace, it took about 2 months from start to finish.

Before you close this up Julian, I have to say thank you. Thank you for just taking the time out of your life to share your thoughts, ideas, and experiences with all of us. I can assure you that I am not the same person after having read through everything. Or rather I am the same person, just with radically changed thought processes. The way that I think, plan, and execute things has been forever changed. Thank you.

You mention the "ferocity" quite a lot. I'll admit I had little to no idea what exactly ya meant at first, but I think I feel it creeping up and settling within me.

Anyway, been a pleasure reading through this thread. Can't wait for the next one. Stay safe bro.

Your quite welcome......as always...the pleasure is truly mine...(sincerely, not the pleasantry which most offer day to day)...

Of course.....none of us (hopefully) are the same day to day....(I know , the same but different, etc)......and hopefully all evolved into something better (for us)....but it's hard work I think for anyone, everyone.....

Rewards are nice though .....

Glad of interest, some benefit....and of value.....

Of course....I share that thanks with everyone else who participated...

(I gotta get to below ....)

Sounds about right ....

Only going to get stronger as time goes on, and as the situations which create will inevitably do

If you "think" you feel it?.....

Then you are........and I'll be the first to congratulate.....

Why?

Because you will get done whatever you wish.

Anyway, been a pleasure reading through this thread. Can't wait for the next one. Stay safe bro.

Thanks.....you too, and, really.....pleasure mine......I learned as much as anyone, and a lot about myself also, etc. Even if sometimes just "thinking out loud"....always some benefit here (to me).....(I always literally laugh to myself at the trolls and such...so much being accomplished, realized, understood, gained.....in many cases forever....yet missing it all and they consider themselves the "smart" ones )

Fuckin people Ya gotta love it.....

Thanks again.....seriously.......I'm really looking forward to the next one....and going to take it in a lot of interesting directions......definitely.....(3 years more experience...profits, wealth made and lost, hardships, and so on...)

But in the end .....the real "truth"?
We all....know..nothing....

Best starting point ...sooner ones realizes it, the sooner they can start learning something....

Myself never excluded from the lessons needed to be truly wise....

May we all be one day.

An appropriate story relating to everything mentioned, and, one can play around with site and entry to site and access and read Federal search warrant. (40 pages). If one has read through this thread and other, one will find almost every one of his "mistakes" leading to his downfall discussed....

I think would be extremely interesting for anyone who doesn't see how pieces all come together

Just in case anyone follows that and has difficulties, the affidavit can now be found HERE It is a priceless read, thanks J.

Also, this has me scratching my head, find it kinda funny, wonder if he knew the appraiser.......

The log cabin and encompasing 39.07 acres was appraised for $420,000


Up to page 47 and loving every minute of it, can't get enough, entire attitude has changed for me, big things coming.

I'm glad you said so. I was recently writing a friend, and mentioned that I was feeling change every day, didn't mention learning, but something like, growing and seeing things differently every day. Since writing it, I realized, that's something I've been saying for the last 5 years or so, to family and friends sometimes, and even though it feels like eruption is imminent, I think it's more important to be on that always changing path. To recognize new things and to feel stronger and more sure of life, each and every day, THAT is plenty to be appreciated on it's own, let the eruption come as it may, stay on the always changing path, and enjoy the weather.

On success or the lack of...

A thinker sees his own actions as experiments and questions- as attempts to find out something. Success and failure are for him are answers above all. - Nietzsche

Just wanted to add, as something on my mind. Been getting my walks in here and there, more and more. Got stock in veg and stock en route, so, ever closer. And the opportunities are 'kinda nuts', but I'll save mention for a little hind sight.

With renewed vigor, I'm looking forward to an inviting season. Only I can stop me. and the always waiting ironic x factor, knock wood But it's the I that must be overcome.

julian..
Can you give some pointers on finding a safehouse?. ... i cant trust using my name, how do i ask someone to use their house for weed? .. I dont feel comfortable asking someone to take my risk either...

Hey Julian, just wanted to stop by and give thanks for the thread and how much it is truly appreciated. Totally changed my mindset, halfway through reading it twice. Wish i could work with ya day to day and have someone really challenge me. Pipe dreams right. Here's to a prosperous and safe spring my friend. Btw how are things with the trades going?

What's up bro thanks for that note. Honestly it just gets me because I want to chop it up with cats like me who are doing it...If you back read that kids posts he wants to guerilla grow all season and camp out for a whole 1.5 #! ! That doesn't even pay for the soil for my planters..let alone the perlite and amendments..

I'm blessed to be doing it in my yard so I can tend them all the time...I'm going to auto water this year..last year I used a pump and spray wand on 50 3' diameter holes that were planted july 1..got a pound each...it sucked watering! this year I want to do minimum 42 ideally 72 6' holes so I need to irrigate!

I'm thinking about 4 of these https://www.dripworksusa.com/store/sprayer.php PN # MSGR300 , 360* emitter 13.8gph @15psi , per plant..My buddy who does 6' beds was telling me he used 50-60 gallons to drench his and when the weather was hot hit them with 15-25 gallons to keep the soil from drying out excessively and causing the EC to spike. 42 beds with 4 of those emitters per bed works out to 2400 GPH , wondering if one of those ECOPlus 2400 GPH pumps will have enough pressure to do the job or if I need something more industrial..

in my experience, those eco plus mag drive pumps are worthless for pushing the kind of water you are talking about... i would get a 3/4 (at least) HP sump or utility pump.

granted, my experience is one of handwatering 18 plants in 65's and 18 in 200's. i bumped my pump size several times, ending with a 3/4HP because i wanted the hanmdwatering sessions to be done in a matter of an hour or so... if you are watering in over the course of the day maybe such a pump as you mentioned would do the trick.

I am thinking about an irrigation system for this year too... not quite ready to dedicate brainspace to it...soon come.
