Anyone in the north shore area? Where do I guys get your seeds or clones?
Like the others I order my seeds online. No where local sells seeds or clones. I've been told its because of how the laws are worded.

JBC is a great US based seedbank with quick shipping. Great Lakes Genetics and DC Seed Exchange are good too but not as quick of a turn around. Can also buy Eso's Seeds direct from the breeder. Haven't grown them yet but ordered some Friday and he got them in the mail last night. Dude was super responsive and personable, so if his genetics match his attitude they should be winners.

Mephisto Forum Stomper x Forgotten Cookies already done stretching! Tripled in size in one week. Guess she likes the sun and the super soil. Starting to see some buds. Hoping for a late July harvest on her.

Ketama is doing great as well. Loving the heat. I'm not doing any training or topping this season. First time outdoors and I want to see what they do naturally.
 

See green

finally pulled the plastic on the greenhouse today ... I ended up updating quite a bit this season .... I replaced all the pvc hoops with new steel hoops, rebuilt both end walls, built benches and a potting/work table.... and easily my favorite update for 2020 ... an exhaust fan ... this thing has got some balls ... 7000 cfm on high and 5200 cfm on low ... it basically replaces the air in the entire greenhouse in under a minute ... it's a wind tunnel now... now all that's left is adding an inkbird to control the exhaust fan, hardwiring two 20A circuits, and plumbing in an irrigation system ... I'm still running on extension cords and a hose but not for long

I'll take a look at what some of those banks have in stock. I was looking for some good mephisto genes, seedsman was out of what I was looking for. If they has the cheesecake back in I'd put in for as many as I can get. Has anyone gotten seeds from wicked pissah? How'd you like em. They has a few strains I've dabbled with early in my growing years that id like to retry.

Just search the site. A lot of folks here have grown them.

I've recently placed a couple of orders through new420guyseeds.com. He has a small selection, his prices are pretty cheap, he ships very quickly, and he's tossed in extra seeds with both of my orders. In both cases he doubled the amount of seeds in one pack (3-4 extra seeds). He also accepts cashapp for payment, but the cashapp account name he has on his page is incorrect (if it still has the dash in it), and he answered every question I asked him through Facebook Messanger pretty promptly. Others on RIU seem to be happy with his seeds so I figured I'd give him a shot. I can't comment on quality of the seeds yet, because I've only got two going right now, but they were packaged well (seeds in small vial packed in vacuum sealed bags) and both popped quickly. One is a little stunted, but that was my fault, I put it in the rooting plug upside down and had to carefully remove it with tweezers to flip it around the right way.

This pic is the latest one I got for the legal outdoor op this year, This was taken probably in late march or april some time, As of 6 days ago, I transplanted 6 into these 100 gal smart pots, 2 are on plastic pallets, and 4 on ground, The spacing is tighter than Id prefer but the surrounding trees are all 100+ years old and at least 80-100 ft if I had to guess. So my prime sun location is pretty tight also need room for the yard in the background of the picture you see. I also have 2x3 welded wire inner cages in place.

Im running 4 gorilla glue fems from canuk seeds (backup buy, getting seeds this year was a shitshow from 3 different sites, I've got friends with indoor clones ready to take their place if need be at any time, but I want the really get that vigorous seed growth. I also have a Mint Chocolate Chip from In Good Health dispensary in brockton, was a bagseed I found last year, started it in Feb and just been vegging until last week, did slow taper and matching of the sun rise / sunset and havent any any issues with transplanting these outside. I also have a "Cornbread" bag seed same thing started veg in late feb just keeping it small and topping those two. The cornbread was bag seed from the dispensary I forget the name but the one in Wareham MA. I also have 2 white widow regulars and an og kush fem both from canuk seeds, the WW were freebies, and OG was a 5 pack, was the only one to make it past the cup of water. The single OG kush was a triploid I think its called, 3 sets of cotyledon and branches per node. I didnt want to take a chance on wasting one of my 6 100gal pots because it was 1/3 the size of a gorilla glue seedling that sprouted on the same day, so Im running that in a 30 gallon tote bin, one of the WW in another 35 gal (i think they are) tote bins... and the 2nd WW is in a large plastic planter/pot Id say its probably at least 25-30 gal. Also a random bag seed that I transplanted back in march almost trying to kill it, and it fgot bleached out from the direct sun, stunted a couple weeks, had a bit of new growth and I pulled the bleached out leaves, and now its back in the swing and growth is back up the normal rate its about a foot off the ground of stem before the first node starts because I pulled off the old growth, I was thinking of turning it into a hemp walking stick or something. Or just flower it out while the rest finish out the season.

I believe my house is at 11 of 12 limit... if my count was right, The way I understand it once those start flowering I can only have the 6? In that case I may just give the others to my neighbor, but I know theres 6 for my own limit, which are the 6 100 gals... the others im helping a house member grow theirs which are the others... Does anyone know for sure and heard from any authority figures or lawyers in mass on this? Thanks... Ill try to get out there with someones camera to take some updated pictures of the actual plants in pot. Ive also started on building the fence around it which you cannot see in this picture, and I have a 40'x14ish' PVC hoop house behind where this picture was shot, But depending on the height these reach and how much sun Il get back here this year, I may or may not use it for the late season rain/humidity.20200511_153148.jpg


I should mention I grow all organic, my soil right now is about just under 2 cu. yd. screened compost, then amended with about 40 cu ft. perlite, some vermiculite, a few bricks of coco coir, kelp meal, blood meal, fish bone meal, worm castings (70+ pounds... been farming worms for years) azomite, mycorrhizal fungi, bat seabird guano, crab meal, seaweed extract, quite a bit more I forget right now, but mixed and cooked soil off, solarized under tarp about 7 months, turning every couple weeks or so for fresh oxygen, and I would add in AACT and worm teas to that, Then added that to the pots and let those sit another month or so with the mycos working, then covered with straw while I made the inner cages from the welded wire and waited for the weather and light to change, Plants would've had a much better start if 3 different seed orders hadnt been fucked up, 1 seized, 1 full of duds, 1 ordered months ago and still havent arrived... All 3 were late by at least 1 month due to covid... seeds were a nightmare this year ordering online... Hope it was worth it, dont think Ill ever use the same seed banks or even breeders on that dud order again.

looking good dunphy .... with 2 adults in the house you're good up to 12 plants at any stage in MA ... the fence should satisfy the "locked up" requirement, and hopefully keep the punk neighbors out ...

finally pulled the plastic on the greenhouse today ... I ended up updating quite a bit this season .... I replaced all the pvc hoops with new steel hoops, rebuilt both end walls, built benches and a potting/work table.... and easily my favorite update for 2020 ... an exhaust fan ... this thing has got some balls ... 7000 cfm on high and 5200 cfm on low ... it basically replaces the air in the entire greenhouse in under a minute ... it's a wind tunnel now... now all that's left is adding an inkbird to control the exhaust fan, hardwiring two 20A circuits, and plumbing in an irrigation system ... I'm still running on extension cords and a hose but not for long

Love how neat and clean this looks.... How big are those beds? They look about 3x3 to me? what do you normally pull off in the house for weight? Im south shore area, depending on weather I usually induce flowering if Im running straight outdoor toward the end of the season to finish on time, What strains do you normally grow around here and when do they finish roughly?
Thanks, keep it up.

thx man ... the beds are 32" square... last year was my first season in the greenhouse and the plants went in the ground much later than I wanted ... they were kind of stressed from being in small pots too long by the time they went in the ground ... they never really hit their stride until late august last year ... i never really get around to weighing them out because by the time im done, im just so fkn sick of trimming i don't care anymore ... last year i didn't put very much thought into my strains, just went on seedsman and tried to find early finishing, mold resistant strains, and ordered a few ... this year I put a lot more thought into the strains planted ... i'm not really as concerned with mold resistance or early finishing anymore because I can go well into November now ... this year i'm going with 8 different strains, one in each bed .. actually nine... I'm growing a peanut butter breath in a large pot too ... so far this year I'm off to a fast start, i bet some of these top out at 10' bushes when they stop stretching in september...
