Well, MoonTang and just callme Mom, looks like we are in the same general neighborhood-I'm somewhere in the Oakham/Barre area- have a grow in progress(5 weeks) but Auto White Widows, so no seeds ,no clones. I would still suggest the overseas seedbanks(used Seedsman and Ams) Always get freebies, which helps offset the initial costs. Until I start next grow(orange Kush and maybe some original Skunk#1) These are photos ,so should get decent amount of Clones. Using Fem. seeds (in my mind) can save lots of time growing only to pop 1/2 males. How about sharing grow setups?
Mines essentially DWC with top feed(great when they havn't hit res yet and 2 300 wt. Led with 4 supplimental side Led. Next run will be big tent with Hid lights(3 600 wt.) and Rdwc once I figure plumbing.Have 8 bubblebuckets , but plan to connect all to control tank and 30+ gal. res.(sitting outside tent) to control res temps. Will use inline pump for same reason.My issue is sealing buckets,Uniseals vs. bulkheads vs male/female PVC fittings.Don't want to flood basement .Will use 1 1/2 vinyl tubing for return and 1/2- 3/4 tube for feed.(Want to be able to move about some.Will use float valve in control to gravity fed res.

Here's my girls @ 5 weeks drinking 2 Gal. per day running Gh Lucas @ 750 PPM and 5.8-6.0 Ph
Been scrogging And tying like crazy and finally evened out canopy.No deficiencies, just a little light burn when they were young.

Hi..I am newbie from north central mass. I know, we can posess and grow, but Ill be damned if I can find seeds other than overseas!....great to have this right, but then they restrict us. Next year my arse.
Buddy of mine has a bunch of clones but we're in the Lowell area I'll get a list up soon... and I think @MrSeeDoubleU also has a buddy with clones...

The sad thing is. No one just gives away clones anymore. Lol. It's turning into a supply demand market. I rem getting clones for free/5$ a piece like hot cakes around spring summer time two years ago even. Now with the new laws here. People are getting greedy and excited on the donation factor.

Fookers Like on leafly (plug) these bastards are charging crazy amount of donations for dry

Greed rears its ugly head. Fortunately, is temporary; the more it's legalized, the more supply there will be, pushing down prices. Then the greedy will have to get real jobs.

I gotta ask as well. What's the grey area or is it black and white cause this whole donation idea is kinda intriguing.... But I don't need no hem up being a father and husband. Figured what better place to ask.

It's reasonable to request a donation. Don't work with strangers. Make sure your product is of high quality. Don't short the customer. Do that and you won't go wrong.

Greatest part of all of us needs to this new style of gardening. It's that hopefully next time I buy new lights I'll be buying them for .30 cents on the dollar cuz people are going to realize how much work it really takes to do this right and proper for it to be worth doing. I wish all the best of course but you know. That's just not practical. Lot of people are doing it cuz it's the "cool" thing to do right now. But in due time things will be resold on the cheap. I'll be there to snatch it up.

PS. Welcome to this forum all who have just stepped in. Look forward to your feedback and post on this great journey for all of us and the other fellows in our state of Massachusetts. The rest outside of mass as well.

Def should get one over here. Depending if you plan on sticking around both. I tried to find one forum that I could really enjoy and stick with as far as posting up to dates.

thats why I think it would be cool to get a group of people together who are trustworthy, and we can exchange clones and seeds with each other for free, and "gift" exchange each other an ounce, ha ha. Kind of like a COOKIE SWAP, but with cannabis, LOL :rolleyes: Im just a damn newbie, but would be willing to give whatever I could.

this growing stuff is absolutely amazing,and I have the bug already. its incredible. and yes, there are always people looking to make a buck off anything, especially off us hard working schleps.

I really like grass city, and here. they are my 2 favs, lots of info, lots of action, good people. I should start one on this site.
