You think so? I've seen plants react much better with nature controlling the days of light. Super long days of summer followed by the days getting shorter, and losing up to 4 minutes a day during fall seems to kick the budding into a whole new level that a simple 12/13 cannot replicate.

Northern California climate or the famous Humboldt area are far supieror than a climate controlled grow room. We can try and replicate but the sun is the ultimate grow light.
I agree with you there's nothing that compares to the sun. The way a plant finishes outdoor is so amazing. I've seen people try to mimick the hours of fall indoors and it completely messing the yield up because the conditions are nothing like outdoor and mother nature. Yes we are trying to get a close to that as possible but nature and that ball of fire is king

That's a good point. I've never participated in an outdoor grow, so I don't have that experience for comparison. I concede the light issue [but only during the grow season]. :mrgreen:

The sun is free which is awesome, but I live in nor cal and I can promise you that people arent pushing the indoor out of the way to get their hands on the outdoor from humboldt.

Well done outdoor can be nice but to say superior would contradict what the majority of people choose when they are presented with options.

Nah man I am still trying to get indoor CLOSE to what happens under African sun. I think I do a fair job of indoor, most fellas around here tell me so so its not big headedness. But I am now hitting close on 2000watts in a 5 by 5 and still coming up short on flavor and smell even though yield now matches outdoor for pot size and veg time. Nothing touches South African mountain grown.

Yeah I imagine it is excellent for growing cannabis there. California and South Africa are interesting in that they have the same Mediterranean climate, two of only a few places outside the Mediterranean that do. Many of the landscape plants in California are native to South Africa.

I noticed this from watching movies... most common one you guys call Birds Of Paradise, our national flower... The cool growing area here (IMO) looks more like the south of Cali though, close to Baja. Hills and mountains look near identical we get a ton of movie work done here, always tons of big Hollywood names moving through because of filming. Cheaper to film here where it LOOKS like Cali than do it at home. Cape Town relies heavily on the US film biz no jokes, out of season the entire town goes broke.

Yippee, I got my package from svoc yesterday. Got my first choices of the goji and ssdd and was surprised I received the pink lotus freebies. Maybe there is something to that freebie rumor lol, I saw earlier this week on ig they said they were out of pink lotus freebies. 3 days later my order shipped and it had those in there and there was no mention of the restock as far as I can tell. So maybe I have made it into the elite circle of svoc customers lolol.... I will say this though, if NGR ever decides to pick bodhi and strayfox up on his site then svoc just might lose my business because yankee has always done me solid on my orders and gets them here quick. Not that delivery is a problem with svoc but I can order from my laz boy from ngr lol. Unlike this damn package of grateful breath and gsog I been waiting on for little over a month :wall::wall: Fuck the usps.....

I hear you about quality, but I've seen 12+ pound gorilla glue grows per plant. Imagine harvesting 50 plants or so. And og kush looks like a totally different plant allowing yield to be often 10xs what most pull indoor. Not only that but the sun is also on a natural mover so the overall structure/branching will be improved. Plus no height issue.

Though outdoor is often much more leafy. It's an ok trade off especially with no electric bill.

I agree you lose a lot of bag appeal.

You only lose bag appeal if you wipe your arse on them mate. Difference is in how people treat bulk weed, huge piles for the trim, huge bags for transport etc. Big crops get rough handling. Then your average hippie trimmer is worth shit so outdoor crops hardly ever get the proper care unless people hire good trimmers. I know about that bit I paid my dues as bud trimmer. Fellas also rush outdoor crops for a few good reasons, rippers being number one, mould and weather being second, and the fact that it hardly makes a difference to their income as bulk producers seeing as it puts them in a sales bracket the indoor boutique cultivator cannot accommodate, that of having many pounds on tap on demand. The reliable producer is the one making the money and keeping regular big clients. There is no loss to bag appeal if you take your cropping and trim seriously and don't rush. Quality is about mind set when it comes to outdoor iMO

Natro, what day does it show your package was sent out? See, I got mine a few days ago and didn't get the freebies.. so there really is something to it. I knew that anyway considering I overnighted my package and they had freebies for 3 days after. Really doesn't upset me that much tho, I have had so many freebies. But it does upset me that they did have them and didn't send them.

I see a lot of new interesting things at the vault today. Strayfox gardens looks like some fire in those seeds - with lots of Bodhi's strains in his makeup.

Sent the money last saturday, they shipped tuesday(took a pic of my order) got to my mail box friday.
Eta:Idk why they would stiff you, you said you have ordered like 40+ packs, I have only ordered 10 through them now. I do always write a nice personable note when I order lol, some of the orders its just a list and return address.

Thanks man, I overnighted mine, it was there at 10AM on the 31st, then they didn't ship it out until the 4th for some reason. And I got it on the 6th (Monday). So even though they sat on my envelope for a few days they still shipped mine out the same day you sent yours in. The worst part of it is they actually wrote on my order paper/note and wrote that they were out of the Bodhi Freebies. I usually try to write a little something as well, and I always put my 2nd choices on there too.

I don't think it is a good idea of them to do this considering a lot of the community talks to one another and find things out like this. It really isn't a big deal to me, I was just trying to figure out what was going on here. The part that bothered me was the order before this whenever I placed a large order for like 6-8 packs and only got 1 of the ones I wanted, the rest were all from my 2nd choice list. Then come to find out they had most of the ones from my 1st choice list in stock, and still do. So I am gonna make another order out for those. That is an honest mistake and in a way I am glad they did it this way as I got packs that I otherwise wouldn't have probably ordered like the Gogi.

And yea, I have ordered a lot of stuff from them in the last few months. Way more then I'd like to and I keep telling myself I am gonna stop as I need to put the money to other things in life... but I can't help myself when I see a cross I want. Especially whenever it is something I think may never be seen again.

You blasting on to silicone? This is baaaaad.... even pouring blasted liquid on to those is baaaaaaddddd. @MrEDuck posted a harm reduction message on the use of heat proof silicone. Those mats absorb butane and bring hydrocarbons and other very nasties out the mat into your shatter. I will go look for the post and tag you mate you need to read it. Back to Pyrex my friend.

It was blasted into pyrex and then thinly spread onto the pad 48 hours later to de-gas in the chamber, my friend. The pic with the bubbles is just residual butane coming out. I appreciate the heads up though brotha, I have quite a few runs under my belt. Not going to lie though, I learned this lesson quite a while ago but the hard way ;) you can taste it fuck up your batch. Nasty

Gotta admit, nothing looks more awesome than a slab of shatter and you only get that by peeling away the mat. I was a tad shocked at the info I got though. Forsaking my slabs for safety sake and sticking to scraping off crystals instead myself. Can be a bit messy but I quite enjoy it... crunch crunch crunch lmfao... Anyhow just for interests sake and also because I feel we all need to pass this info around far and wide: http://skunkpharmresearch.com/spraying-butane-directly-on-silicone-mats/
