@Growmau5 , hey grow, I've been looking into laplata a bit more and if you could grow Durango OG, would you? Or would you continue with the Blue? I'm debating between the Blue, DGOG, or Pink Alien.

A few people said it can sometimes taste like palmaviolets and smells like a fresh bunch of flowers!?

I want to get back on track & get my thread back on track. For anyone that is interested, heres what happened with me over the last month.
-my morning routine of logging into RIU, youtube etc and commenting/answering questions began to grow from 30min to and hour + , after posting the how to diy series.
I ended up loosing and incredibly valuable client at my day job as a result of not managing my time and balancing my real life with this online persona. I have spent the last month course correcting and servicing my other clients , restoring balance to my life.

I am still growing, tinkering, building etc and looking forward to easing back into the scene. I really wish I had never made that Mars hack video. 75% of the comments and communication that I get now are: how many cobs can this or that piece of chinese shit I have never heard of run.

SO if you are reading this, dont post that kind of BS here. if you cant figure out how to divide driver voltage by cob voltage, then keep researching.

anyways, cheers to everyone and I look forward to catching up with you all.
Glad you’re back! And glad after you hit the “Re-Balance” button on your life that you still had time and energy to share your skills. I have learned a lot from your sharing.:hump:

@Growmau5, Don't complain too much; with your 'made for multimedia' persona here and well produced videos on youtube, it's obvious you're looking for recognition- sooooooooo instead of griping, might I suggest instead finding ways to build on your new found notoriety at kit bashing no name Chinese LED panels?

This is way too good a thread for all the negativity I've seen in it lately!
Sometimes the obvious can end up surprising you. Perhaps I am desperately seeking recognition. trying to fill some type of void from being a nerd in high school, or not being loved enough as a child. Perhaps I rub my nipples at night and moan at the sight of another view, like , or subscriber.

OR

perhaps my motivations are more noble... maybe I feel fortunate and blessed with the success I have had using DIY leds. maybe the information required too much effort to hunt down and try to figure out. perhaps I just want to consolidate all of the amazing work that has been done here and convert it into a pleasing viewing experience simply to help other people.

OR

maybe I feel like the electric grids in Colorado & southern California are already completely taxed out and cannabis isnt even federally legal yet. perhaps my mission is to spread the word: that we can still grow copious amounts of ganga while minimizing our carbon footprint.

OR

maybe its all an incredibly elaborate scheme to take a year or two to infiltrate the community, gain trust, credibility, and launch a product line.

I guess no one will ever truly know what motivates me, except me :)

La plata seeds like a great seed company. The only problem I have ever had with any of their strains is multiple herming phenos of Sour PEZ. I have always been interested in DGOG. I believe it won a cannabis cup a year or so ago, so seeds had been scarce. I would definitely like to try it some day, or maybe even CBDGOG .
I still like my laplata strains, but I am becoming more of an exotic genetix guy now. Their beans have the highest germination rates (for me) and least amount of runts. I have several of their strains coming down the pipeline over the next few months.

I know that the seeds were available on a few sites a few weeks ago. So I have a contact for them if you wanted do try dgog. But the alien blues or bubby berry look both amazing. I'll check out exotix right now.

Wow....

Count me in for Pink 2.0, Starlight fighter IX 2, the Future and chocolate covered strawberries please.

Those all look amaze balls. Starfighter ha's a very very deep almost black look. Could be the lighting in the pic, but it looks like some serious, true purple.

Nice,
i just put two pink 2.0 in flower. Definitely both indica dom, dense little bushes. Also have 3 banana cream in flower(stretchy like OG's), and one grease monkey(short and bushy starfighter dom i think). I've definitely become a fan of exotic as well, the awards are speaking for themselves without all the hype you see from other seed companies.

Kinda seems like one of those 'k-type' questions.... Only E&B, none of the above, ect. :P

I don't see why it matters what the motivation is. Free helpful info is free helpful info from my perspective. Just glad people are making video's now, components are readily available, and configurations thoroughly vetted. Still many many many things to test though.

Well, please take my comments in the spirit of the compliment they were meant to be. I was attempting to admire your success, come to find out it's been a distraction from your other life. I hear you. It's a tough job balancing your life's priorities.

I wish you the very best of luck and you've certainly made a powerful and positive impression here!

And, it's nice to have options about what to do next, isn't it?

Dude, I just vaped the first press of my Alien Blue, holy shit. It's like LSD or something, I listened to this last night and cried my eyes out for like three hours. I haven't enjoyed a piece of music that much in years, though this is a particularly good piece by a particularly good artist. Bitch tears.
