Yea it used to be.Thing is the cost of power goes up..the cost of nutes goes up.The cost of delivering those nutes to supplier or end user at 4 bucks a gallon gas in some places is what makes everything go up.What used to be a fair price 15 or even 5 years ago is not a fair price today.Many places are going to see huge increases in power costs in the upcoming years.In my state alone the feds are shutting down five power plants with nothing to replace them with.Guess what is going to happen to power costs?
Your area might be different as you have power falling out your ass you can use.Most places are going to see huge increases in power costs.This at some point this will cause inflation in not only marijuana prices but everything else in the economy.
So if you sale a quarter for the same price you got for it fifteen years ago but it costs you more to grow it than it did fifteen years ago then you are losing ground.Not only that but you are paying higher prices to live with less money to do it with.
High quality indoor dope cost money to grow..no way around it.It also takes massive amounts of time.Experience to grow good dope didnt just fall out of a tree it takes time and experience screwing shit up to get good at it.In these legal states everyone who found a seed in a bag of dope is now growing outdoor weed.
I get a bag of weed from around here that is considered good quality from time to time just to see what the other growers are doing.
One guy who has cancer i help was flying back and forth from cali to here to get medicine.He says mine is better..Another went to MI and purchased some JTR from their shop and said mine was more potent and tasted better.Another from CO put his bag back in his suit case and smoked my dope.
Raider i heard you were going to get some TGA gear to grow .Ive grown out a bunch of TGA gear and its all good.All of it.I know you are partial to purple strains.Ive never grown out the strain you mentioned but Id recommend to anyone the jilly bean.Its a large producer of top shelf weed that will crack your skull and the taste is unbelievable.Some say its the best dope they ever smoked.

That Jillybean does look top shelf,i may give that a try .thx Max..i hear ya on the prices..I went to Hawaii for a month one yr in the 80s and it was 60-80 a qtr then,30 yrs later its the same price,in the 70s yude pay anything for dank....Even in san fran,I was scoring buddah thai stick(opium laced thai stick) and payed 250 a zip in early 80s,but was the most indulging,lol...ppl say weeds high?try growing it...yeah some friends in Houston ,Dallas and afew locals all tell me the cali dispen bud isn't even close to mine, or maybe thier jus good liars,lol

I had a few friends who moved out to Cali a few years ago and they smoked my Grape God a while before they left.

So they come back for the holidays and shit and were talking about the life out there and the weather and the weed and they tell me that theres some good shit but the Grape God i grew blew away 90% of what was out there. I couldnt believe it myself but the markets so big i dont doubt it gets flooded with a good amount of bullshit. Well, that and the Grape God was some super kill. MMMMM i miss her. Have fun growin her out! She wont disappoint.

I in doubt though believe Hawaii rules in the weed world and prob always will because of environment.prices are much higher tho than here.

Well soon enough, I'll know the sex on my three Cheesequake x (KushberryxJillybean) lol....wish me luck! ATB!

I've really wanted to grow the jillybean, and the kushberry before. I've had them in my cart to order and just didn't for one reason or another. That sounds like a killer cross though.

yeah theres nothing in the world that can touch kushberrys dank,it lacks yield but extreme sour berry dank..is ti ure first cheesequake run Supa? If so hows the smoke..haha everytime I bump into the sour diesel trimming it starts smelling like cat piss violently,lol.

First run of this cross, put together by my guy Barrelhse. I just threw them into flower, but they vegged for about 6 weeks, so if female, they should be nice. Clones of all three of course. I have Kushberry in seed form also, it's the reason I'm runnin' this cross.lol ATB!

I hope she does well for you..i'd like to cross my gorilla grape pollen with my best purps.ive grown purps a few times so I already kow what to look for at mid flower when I sex them.

i had 2 phenos of the jilly bean.

1) had a lighter smell of orange candy. nice tight buds.
-fully cured- taste a little sweet with a hint of orange. i like this one.

2) had a very strong smell like perfume. buds not as tight as above but still nice. more orange hairs. seemed like it needed more drying time than pheno 1.
-fully cured- smells very strong orange. even tho i can't keep my nose out of the jar, i just dont care for the taste.

the high is the same for both.

i am not happy about the taste of pheno 2 due to my selected male smelled like it when i rubbed the stalk and smelled my fingers. that strong smell was why i chose that male. but someday i will see what he did for the girls.


i hit up both the jilly bean phenos along with 6 other girls of diff. strains and i am still de-seeding. it's a slow process when i need to pick and choose the time to do it so i don't stink the place up with people around.

i had a bad ratio of male to female out of my 10 pack. a family member felt bad and ordered a 5 pack of the jilly bean. she does not grow or smoke but kept 1 and gave me 4. i will def. grow these out and continue my breeding project.

yeah i call it breeding because i had a selection process. not saying it was a good selection ok ok i will continue my pollen chucking process.

The pheno i had tasted and smelled like sweet pink grapefruit.Got very large colas on it.The stone was completely wig splitting ..When it was growing it would smell to me like fresh wet paint until it got to the end of bloom.It liked to finish a little late and stretched fox tailing some.I dint care for that so she had to gther than that she was outstanding.
Pretty orange hairs nice dense buds.Good producer excellent quality ,excellent high,nice citrus smell.Out fucking standing for sure.

haha I haven't done a whole lot of chucking myself,a few projects here and there,I enjoy buying top rated strains and work with that.if I hadn acquired these gg beans I prob wouldn't fool with it.

do you have any updated pics to shoot over here Max?

gg .so far soo good.

Hell yeah, it's always about weight haha. Yeah I'm strugling myself to keep my canopy even. I'm trying to go the no top, just super crop or lst method, plants are getting to wide to fit.

I figured I asked because I see more "training" on these compare to your last grow. Could be from the golden tree, better side branching... I can see obvious topping but that's besides the point.
