@TastieTom,no problem i understand u want the cleanest possible

Why is the pH at 8.5 buddy ?

@TastieTom,you could use pH down still or do u consider that still adding nutes?

@biggreens420, It's kinda yes and no. I could, but If I did, then any nutes still left in the reservoir along with any in my local aquifer water would be uptaken by the plant. I'll do another flush before i cut the indicas and probably another two more before the sativas are finished.

@biggreens420, the ph of the local water ranges between 8 and 8.5. I’m currently flushing right now anyways, so I’m not stressing it. We have excellent local water where I’m at and I want the girls to use up the nutrients from the leaves for the rest of flower. Provides a significantly smoother smoking experience imo.

@TastieTom,man get me to Cali I'd love to grow legal and do it legit ...and I hope that's not the case and they understand people need time to trust especially in the government but like u say u never know I hope not though

@biggreens420, Im sure there's plenty of people willing to grow, however, out here, you'll need to have big money to get in the game. Cultivation land in my area is currently going for $1 million (US) per acre; and that's without a building, just empty land. On top of the 12 different types of licenses the state issues. Too much headache. With a California MMID you can grow up to 100 sq ft or 500 if your a caregiver to 5 or less. Or you could just take advantage of California Health and Safety Code Section 11362.77 (b) that states" If a qualified patient or primary caregiver has a physician’s recommendation that this quantity does not meet the qualified patient’s medical needs, the qualified patient or primary caregiver may possess an amount of cannabis consistent with the patient’s needs." Basically grow/possess as much as you can get your doctor to say you need. The only downside with an MMID is you can no longer buy guns legally, but I love weed more than guns anyways so it doesn't matter. It's also expensive to live here, but I love California.

@biggreens420, Over the next few months, reserves from last years harvests will begin to deplete and dispensaries, clinics, and rec shops will only be allowed to obtain cannabis from state authorized growers, which there's not enough of. Shortages from delays in licensing, implementation of local municipality laws, and an ultimate dependency on the projected taxes will force the government and law enforcement to begin cracking down on illegal grows to force people to have to pay taxes. Written in the green laws for California, the cannabis industry was given a 6 month transitional grace period to obtain all required licenses and permits. I predict they're gonna be balling off of civil forfeitures from busts. Maybe I'm paranoid, but watch what happens when uncle sam don't get that tax money..

@TastieTom,why what's happening mid June ?? Nice update this week see them maturing well

@TastieTom, So true! On both the 10/10 part and the growing new strains part!!

@TastieTom,nice one that's crazy prices and it's legal were u are it's cheaper to buy illegal lol max I would pay is 50 for a 1/4 and it's gotta be dynamite at that and a good strain hunt will take it's time good luck brother

@biggreens420, The black market is and will continue thriving, but come mid June, things in California are going to change dramatically. for now, people will just continue to get a med card as a way to avoid those high recreational prices. I'm looking forward to continuing the hunt.

Killer update. Love the thoroughness and detail you put into this post. Very impressive. The grow looks absolutely killer man! Continued best wishes!

It looks so good this week! Are you sure that its not just a late frosting pheno? I've had a few Gals that swelled Buds to huge before they developed dense Trichomes - Could be that.

@TastieTom, Excited to see some of your new grows!
