seeing if there is any interest in personal grows. im a bit concerned offering it as your btc would be held up for at the very
least 2 months. more if started from seed and/or wanted us to harvest, trim, and cure. or it could just simply be chopped and
shipped to you quickly. however it would give you the opportunity to have your favorite strain grown and reap the benefits from
it as well (we are pulling typically 2 ounces per plant). we can offer many strains (even some of the sought after BOG strains!).
we'd work out the price but it would be right around what 2 ounces would typically cost you. perhaps half up front or a SR mod
could create a custom listing for us. during the course of the grow you would get updates, pictures, videos, and of course specs
on the grow room itself. you can request certain training styles (lst, scrog, lollipops, etc). we could either ship most of the
plant untrimmed, trimmed, or actually manicured and cured.
we use botanicare nutes and our own soiless medium. however if you wanted you could request whatever medium and nutes (nute schedule
as well) and we'd be happy to provide. if we don't have access to the nutes or medium you need we would work that into the price as well.
you'd also be welcome to send beans to one of our addresses to grow (or cuttings (US only)). if not, just tell us a strain and we'll see if
we can find it. usually not that hard. proof would be provided at that point as well by sending you seed packaging unless the vendor doesn't provide them
(US shipping and all). so yeah... any interest? i can provide pictures of two different grow rooms (veg and flower) for serious buyers.
as said i can see this being an investment and there are a bunch of circumstances surrounding it. so any comments, suggestions, or questions
can be directed at point of purchase (or a serious inquiry).
picture below is the corner of a grow room with some blue dream flowers blooming.

do you see this being a worthwhile purchase? something about having a custom grow is always nice.

i tried doing something kinda like what you are asking but mine was more i needed startup and was trying to find investors and/or partners. the community didnt take kind to it. seems like posts like these attract all the fucking trolls silk road has to offer. i support what you wanna do man 100%. and if someone gives you shit about it tell them to fuck off then and go look somewhere else. good luck man! happy growing!

(or cuttings (US only)
i advise against this... never take in clones from an unknown source, lord knows what pests, disease, or other unwanteds you may end up with... soilless?- you using coco mixed w/ perlite? i like the principle of your idea. best of luck

I got infected with spider mites after taking in a cutting, never again :(
As for your idea in general, I've had a couple of people message me asking for just this service, I don't know how you'd do it all in escrow though.

man haven't checked this thread in a while :)
yup it's possible to get a pretty bad infestation from cuttings however i'd isolate the plant for a few weeks at fist just to be sure. i too have wondered about the whole escrow issue, i guess it has to go with a bit of trust. or honestly, if someone is sending me seeds or a cutting they wouldn't have to really pay until harvested. same goes for a specific grow, one or two plants in a grow isn't going to really push me back at all so no real loss if no one pays up in the end i assume. however if i'm having to take time to take pictures or keep a grow log i'd imagine funds would somehow need to be in place.
as far as my soiless mix i've had great success with coco however i typically stick with the ever so popular peat moss, perlite, and different castings/manures depending. had great success (in veg of course) with turkey droppings before hitting it with pbp grow. watering schedule is increased but i'm fine with that :-)

I don't see what you'd stand to lose doing it outside escrow, it's not like the weed would be unsellable because it's one persons' strain preference.

exactly.... however if some people wanted updated information, pictures, a certain grow method used it could be time consuming and not worth the effort if the incentive wasn't there.
-
Sounds like a good idea, pricey though. If the price is the same per oz as any other weed here, I don't really see a reason to wait 2+ months for a product you can easily get for the same price in a matter of days.
How much are we talking about in terms of price per oz? will this include international shipping? would you be growing large sativas as well?
i'm interested in more details :)
-
me too. Pm if possible.

I like what youre offering and im sure you will get clients! Now if I may give some advice for your setup (from what I can gather from the picture)
- Your plants are suffering from heatstress
- Your plants are stretched and thin
What happened was most likely that you noticed the heatstress, moved your lamp up to reduce heat on the tops and as a result the plants got stretched. You can fix this by getting a cooltube, either one with air or with water, a lower watted HPS or a better ventilation system. In any case, remove some heat and you will be pulling more out of your op!
-
I wouldn't advise using cooltubes. Am running 2 of them at the moment and not impressed. You lose helluva lot of lumens due to the glass ... I've read anywhere between 10 and 20%. Not sure how true this is but amount lost is definitley visible to the naked eye.
Less light. less product.
Much better off with air cooled hood.

id give you +1 but i cant right now for some reason. def. agree with you. decent fans would help too. i used a 12x12 room when i grew but i always had 2 oscilating fans and 1 box fan on top of 6 inch air cooled hoods. very rarely heat got too bad.

good eye... this is one of them :) im just invested in... the other i do not have pictures of, but i can snap some shortly.
you are 100% accurate though. the temps reach well above 90f even with decent ventilation and these are 4 400 watts in that room. its a "work in progress". i'll see about getting the pics of the other room shortly. we run air cooled hoods in that room as well as 4 600's and everything is much much healthier :)
-
found an older pic of the second room. as you can see, much better as far as environment issues. however lots of improvements, but we're always improving :)

well the point of the price would be for the fact that you're getting exactly the strain you want, grown the way you want (within certain limitations). price would be negotioable at startup as this would be a trial run. shipping would be included but depending on where at internationally i'd rather chat about it first.
and we've grown some hefty sativas before and even fully flowered dr. grinspoon and quasar haze plants. although yield would have been better from an outdoor grow i'd imagine. still amazing turnout though :-)
-
I'd be glad to discuss a potential order with you, too bad i'm broke :(
maybe in the future though. bookmarked you just in case I stumble upon a huge pile of money in the street someday :)

just throwing it out there... for a minimal amount and maybe a promise of having access to a clone or 2 (at a later point) i have a pack of OGraskal's The White S1's seeds i'd be willing to part with for this experiment ;D

small world LOL! we have some triangles in their 2nd week of flower right now! lol :)
next time i go over i will snap some shots and post them up. i was there tonight and my jaw litterally dropped just from seeing the amount of trichome development after 2 weeks. it honestly looks like they were dipped in sugar on every bud growth. i don't know if we had two great phenos or if it's just the genetics shining through but they are astonishing. granted they are in the room that was mentioned earlier that we are working on getting some issues worked out on. but they seem to be doing fine regardless.
we have a few clones already going in a bubbler atm that im sure i can part with... us shipping only though.
