20,000 Watt Medical Grow Op Construction

Me and Commercial J spent the day visiting our friends grow ops today. It was great to get out of mine and check out someone else's nightmare. One of our stops (Commercial M) is growing the Tahoe x Chem Dawg pheno that I'm playing with. He was the first one to get the cut, so his shit is the furthest along. OMG. We all thought it was going to be a micro-yielder, based on how it looks in week 4. Commercial M has a 4x4 tray with 12 plants in week 6. They're looking really fat. He said that just the last 5 days or so they almost doubled in size. We scoped them and it looks like they'll be done in another week. So, not only is it going to yield more than we thought, it finishes in 7 weeks! He'll get an LB easy. Of course, when I got back to my op I took 30 cuts from my Tahoe Mother right away. It's not over till it's over, but I'm thinking this may be the future of my op. All of my commercial buddies agree that this cut is one of the highest quality Kush's we've ever tried. It just has it all: great bag appeal, wonderful smell, tastes like a spice rack in smells the vape, and knocks you flat on your ass. I has small hopes because my experience with these strains is that they're very smal yielders. Seeing what I saw today made my year. Granted, Commercial M is a master grower, and his op is world class. But, I'm not too far behind, and we use mostly the same techniques. I'll be posting plenty of pics of the Tahoe so we can all follow its progress. We just have 3 test plants in bloom right now, but I'm going to be taking cuts as fast as my 2 mothers can produce them.

"bad appeal" typo. In the kush description.

Wow a true 7 weeker, must be super heavy on the Afghanica/Indica side?
Can't wait to see the details, glad to hear you're having a happy moment.

Mind getting some shots of your gene pool? I want to see your mother keeping techniques.

There's already pics up if I'm not mistaken

There's plenty of pics of my mothers in just the last few pic posts. I just got 2 new Tahoe x mothers from Commercial J that I can take pics of. It's not like the mothers show much...a big ol' bushy vegetating plant.

My rec. is renewed every year. I'm hoping that as we sign up new members I won't need to fall back on such a heavy rec to justify the plant numbers. We want 20-30 members total. The problem is finding trustworthy good people to join our collective. We also require that you need at least one ounce per week. It's a great way to operate. We will grow whatever strain our members want. I am even willing to grow organic plants for patients that really have a preference. Once we get the right amount of members, the price will be very reasonable: probably around $220.00/ounce.

Im in the Valley and would love to learn about your collective, join, and contribute. I plan to start a new 3X3 botanica ebb and flow indoor grow at the end of October. I was thinking of using LA Confidential or GDP. Send me a message if you are interested.

I appreciate your interest. Unfortunately, we have a policy that all new members be recommended by an existing member. Also, the only members that work at the op (or even know the location) are myself, my wife, Commercial J, and our husband and wife trim team "Tokey" and "Mrs. Tokey". We were able to amass enough members to grow the amount of plants we like to grow. We're fortunate to have a bunch of heavy using members. Yesterday I calced out our members average age...it's 46! I thought it was younger, but we have only one member under 30, and a good bunch of heavy tokers in their 60's. This has to be some sort of record. I can't imagine any other collective with our amount of members having a higher average age. Start calling us the Geezer Ganja Group.

I've always said "it's not a problem if there's no solution". It seems you're kind of on a negative, no one wins, just stop growing trip.

Absolute props. I'm yet to hear it better said. I couldn't plus rep you anymore if I tried.

Sorry, I should have clarified. If I can donate any organically grown medicine that you are in need of, I'd like to help by donation. My personal goal is to help others with organic, dime-to-the-dollar natural medicine versus the use of drugs. I plan, this spring, to make a large batch of balm to be used topically in 2-3oz. glass jars. The balm is good for muscular distrophy and sclerosis patients (or really any patient who suffers from spacicity, migraines or nerve pain).

Also PS - I'm a 34 year old mature woman with a child, haha! Does this fit the old geezer catagory. Im the last of Gen X.... did I get that right? Let's see, we are on Gen Z now I think...

It is I who should aplologize. I'me always thinking people want something from me. How cynical is that? Not who I try to be. You may have seen my numerous outreaches, looking for needy folks to donate meds to. When I say donate, I mean donate...as in free....not donate, as in donate an Lb in exchange for $3,000! Shoot me a PM and let me know what you have in mind. I'm always open to discussions about different ops getting together to help others...and uplift the public's perception of us devil weed growers.

I guess at 40ish I'd be somewhere between gen X and gen Y. Gen X.5?

I've seen a very potent cannabalm treat tendonitis quite successfully. There's a future in that stuff.

Kinda lame...yes...but funny as fuck. Keep em coming.

No word yet on the clinic. But I'm just going to ask my friend to hand out my email address. If I can get a decent list of people would you like to work together to start giving these people medicine? I have 2 plants set aside for 2 people I have promised to take care of at the moment, and I am expanding my numbers faster than I can keep up to ensure these people will be medicated. If we can get enough people that need help I am willing to match your donations.

1) I care
2) I'd like the positive publicity coming to our scene of upstanding medical marijuana professionals.

I can work with them and get them the forms they need for their doctor's to sign off for a medical recommendation to use cannabis. That is not a problem.

EDIT:
update on the BioBizz. So far with the end of this first round and many plants in veg of all ages growing on it, I am not pleased. I am going to continue onward with it and try and get things to turn around. If I cannot I will reduce it use to outdoors and my test tent, and return to House & Garden until my supply is all gone, then I am going to try another organic line up, I am unsure of who, because I am not sure if I am just not applying enough or too much. It all looks like deficiency to me so I'd say not enough. But I do not like how much I have to use to make it "enough."

Yes. I am interested in possibly working with you to get the meds out. I do need anyone I deal with to join our collective.

Have you tried Technoflora? It has a good rep for an all organic liquid. You can also start with around 400ppm chemical base, and then start slowly adding in organics. In time, you end up totally organic. This enables you to test, while keeping plants healthy.

How does one make a cannabalm?

That's a question for Singing Crow. The shit I've seen was made by a friend.

lol can i get a donation???? its all in the name of charity.. hahahaha

From what I understand its similar to a tincture, made with leaves and stems for topical ointments and hemp oils and buds and trim for tinctures.

I'm fine exchanging information and signing co op papers. I know you are a professional. I am extremely fond of TechnaFlora, I haven't used the Pura Vida formula yet, but I hear good things from a 2 part organic formula. After all my expensive fertilizers are gone, Technaflora synthetic formula will probably become my new primary nutrient, I have had such amazing success in the past with it, so easy! The Pura Vida will definitely be in my test tent soon, seeing as it is so affordable and I have their other organic additives already.

Are you familiar with the Awesome Blossom? I used to laugh my way out of the hydro store when someone would stick a hundred dollar bottle of red dragon or bloombastic in my face, the Awesome Blossom is the king of cheap one part bloom boosters. It sure as fuck doesn't give results like a cheap bloom booster!

I love the technoflora line ive been using it for about 3 runs now in hydro and have nothing bad to say just good stuff

Most my technaflora experience was DWC, just experimenting with it, it was great. It also does amazing in soiless and soil blends.
