No major issues so far. Week Two has been a continuation of what I've been doing. Using a little more water, maybe 20ml twice a day. I did break down and buy a pH meter - Apera PC60-Z - a little on the pricey side but I think it will prove to be money well spent. Found out my tap water (supplied by a well) is averaging about 8.1. I'm using pH Down and a bit of CalMag to get that closer to around a 6.5. Haven't started any nutrients and considering the soil I'm growing in I might only use them sparingly. I germinate and plant another 4 seeds this week. Considering this is my first rodeo here, I'm reluctant to dive right into trying yield increasing techniques like topping or fimming. I think I'm going to just use this first grow to learn as much as I and waiting to explore yield enhancing techniques til next time around. So... for now if I want more final product I'll just have to grow more plants!
I’d say that prohibition for decades created a steady supply/demand that set black market prices as they are.
Yes it should have easily gone down in price since legalization has taken hold in the last decade but there are so many factors involved.
Black markets still hold a huge sway on prices, someone in a legal state can just scoot their “legal” product across state lines to illegal markets.
I don’t think we’ll see a significant price decrease commercially (or otherwise) any time soon.
@ButchMcQueen, no problem! It is so rewarding to do it yourself, as with many things in life. But you can’t deny the price savings in growing your own cannabis vs buying.
PS- I do believe that in time legality and market forces will bring prices down but I’d wager it won’t be for several years
@Ezzjaybruh, Those are some points that I hadn't thought about, but they make perfect sense to me. Legal or not, demand is what demand is, and supply is what supply is... and the price responds accordingly. That price being what it is, I'm amazed more people don't grow their own. As I'm learning, there is some work involved, but I'm finding it both satisfying and rewarding. Thanks for sharing your thoughts!
Hey Butch, good luck with the ILGM White Widows as your first grow! I'm reaching the end of my first grow too. Feel free to look at my diary for comparison and educational purposes. I like to be rather thorough in my diary unlike some others. I am using different materials and techniques than you so far. I look forward to learning from your experience as well. 👍
@JabzXtreme, Just wandered my way through your journal and I must say I'm pretty impressed! Seems to me that you were pretty ambitious going in and that its really paying off for you. Looking forward to seeing how your harvest results turn out. Best of luck!
