Go figure a 90s howling wolf shirt worn by a doper.

I can't stand the burning dog shit stink of that stuff.

This. I am so sick of smelling it in public. There is a local public family beach/playground/ice cream shack that I used to take the kids to all the time. Now its where all the high-ons go to smoke dope while their mouth breathing crotch fruit run around unsupervised. Whole playground smells like dope smoke, stopped going there at all.

2022. They are only big plants when you need a lift to measure them

Had a hermaphrodite in my grow room in Spring this year so only growing that plant out this summer. Should provide plenty of fem seeds for future years

I'd love to give indoor a shot just for kicks, my nephew bought a tent (prices have dropped insanely) he's not using.

I never vape and get and just enjoy the process, seems wicked unhealthy to me. I'd take smoke in my lungs over liquid lotion being absorbed into everything and lingering in my living room for hours. Similar to a fat corn fed doe, not as much meat as a cow but delicious and wouldn't be on the plate if I didn't get into the woods:)

allegedly I set a friend up with a tent and ventilation in his basement.

but the grow in florida is a full on commercial thing. thousands of square feet. tables to move plants from one end to the other on a rail system. many kilograms a week.

This is what my friend Mikes plants look like in Mendo. He does around 900 plants every year.

Thats the way it is in Maine. Lot of big grows.

Guy I worked with went into the laundromat in town early in the morning. Walks in the and place reeks of weed. Older woman sitting there anxiously starts apologizing. She works in a grow and tries to do her laundry when nobody else does because shes afraid of the stigma. Coworker laughs and tells her he likes the smell. She said it gets really old after working there all the time.

Grows have to pay under the table, due to federal legality, old broad wasn't a doper, just like the extra cash on top of her SS :smokin:

am not paid under the table.

but yeah, walk into the grow and you're gonna smell like weed the rest of the day.
so is your luggage.
Which is fun when you travel for work.
 
Nate, we get it. STFU. I don't partake and don't love the smell. I have friends that do it, they are respectful around my kid and me. "Hey everybody, I'm here to C1_1NT up your thread.....repeatedly!!!!"
I was hoping it was a beans/corn/etc harvest thread and all the broken down and fucked up McGyver shit that gets done to make it to the end, but this is cool too:laughing: We don't start for another few weeks. Racing Dad's rehab to get him in the combine seat so I can keep all the other plates in the air.

I don't grow for profit, just for fun, and to be able to gift weed to my buddies.

So 2022 was 5 plants, almost 65 pounds of product, took about 80 hrs to trim. And that was being ruthless, trimming only big buds, and the rest went to hash production.

I cannot fathom 900 plants.

And this is Colorado, at 6000', so get the little ladies going in March, into buckets by 4/20, outdoors end of May, and push the harvest as late as I can usually first week or two of October. Couple years have had to bring plants indoors if the frost arrives early (have had frost in early September. Been a relatively cold wet summer so plants (wife's garden too) seem to be slow to veg and bloom this year.

Last I talked to the lady in charge of cultivation were doing like 100 a week.
Best buds get trimmed.
Lesser buds go into the grinder for pre rolls
Everything else to one of the extraction labs.
Soon to have an edibles kitchen up and running if I can get the state to come inspect it in a reasonable time. I got all the equipment and the health inspections in there, but you know there's layers to the bureaucracy.

A very good buddy who was my landlord when I had the fab shop was in the weed business. Like pre-Rec in Colorado, heck like pre-Legal even

He managed a couple of indoor grows for about a decade before moving into the extraction business. We used to build the air handling units for them, to control the quality of air into the grows, and to control the odor on air leaving the grow. Was a bummer when he sold out and moved to GA. He now works for a company that does Biological Irradiation, I think they have units in every CO processing facility.

The layers of bureaucracy and bullshit his extraction company dealt with was beyond ridiculous. They stuffed a 40' container full of processing equipment so you could be plug and play the first day your state was legal. It took them almost 24 months to get approval for one of their units in Denver. When they attempted to sell those units into Las Vegas, it took them another 18 months to get approval. But once they were approved, they were basically the only game in town.

When Hemp was the rage here in CO in 2017 - 2019, I was involved with a couple of extraction labs locally. One run by a couple of retired professors from the local state ag university, after 3 years of trying to get approval for the lab, they eventually gave up and sold to a guy who moved the entire operation to Mexico and was up and running in 4 weeks. Fucking building departments and inspectors and unions too vested in their own selfish interests to see the big economic picture.

I hope you get sorted on the edibiles side, I know that is another layer of hassle here in CO (and some of the reason for the massive consolidation we have seen in the industry in general in the past 3 years.

My buddy mentioned that wholesale weed in CO is currently $250/lb. I remember times primo bud would bring $5 - $8K per pound. He also mentioned that a couple of commercial grows in Pueblo are now growing tomatoes not the devils lettuce because they can no longer make a profit.

:homer::smokin:
 
We don't wholesale and everything is vertically.integrated, but I imagine that time is coming if Florida goes rec like everyone expects it too
Right now we're getting lean in anticipation.
The prices certainly aren't what they used to be.

Almost like making it legal lead to real competition and the like outside of a black market...

I think my friend in Mendocino is getting 75 cents a gram last time I talked to him.
 
Pot shops in abq were bitching that they could no longer make a living since the state didn't set a limit on the amount of permits. We have a store about every 2 blocks it seems. I thought I read a new article that mentioned there was more pot license then alcohol licenses now. But I think they limit liquor licenses in abq nm.
