What’s up, Growmies?!
I’m pretty new here. Joined up in November and already feel like I’m getting to know you guys just from reading all the old threads, watching your grows and learning.
Just started my first grow and have a grow thread thread going in “Show your grow” area.
Anyway, here is my question…
Do you guys still grab a bag from the dispo every once in a while just to try something different? I haven’t finished a grow yet, so I don’t know what it’s like to have several ounces/pounds just chilling in jars ready to smoke, but I like trying different strains from the dispo.
Does that change once you’re established growing? Or do you still grab something every once in a while for fun?
If you dont have dispos in your state, you can sub question that out with buying from your guy every once in a while.
Is the home grown quality that big of a difference?
I can’t wait to smoke something I’ve been taking care of for 4 months!
We’ve tried flower a couple times and it wasn’t worth the money, not when I have home grown on hand. We’ve gotten carts a couple times but it’s been over a year.
Don’t really see a point anymore. Some of the concentrates look pretty on point, but for the price I’ll pass the hassle.
We have to order online, go to store, wait in line. All products are hidden. You don’t get to see or smell anything before buying, and the parking sucks. Lol
Went to Colorado on our honeymoon and hit 3 dispenseries. Had to drive all over because COVID was still closing stuff down. Being from a red state, it was a neat experience. But being suoer cold, the weed was like dust. Brought it home and it rehumidified really well. But, even if I had one down the street, I wouldn’t go. Unless it was some kind of dire emergency.
I get some carts when they are cheap and I occasionally buy some Sativa since I rarely grow it. I also like to get strains I grow to try…maybe just an eight… to see how mine compare. You can guess my opinion.
Side note: I went to an Indian reservation in Senaca Ney York last week to try a couple of dispensaries. I bought a couple ounces for $30 each. But…no testing or labeling, or Ids, or receipts…you get the picture. But still smokable bud at a price lower than I paid in the late 1970s.
Yes…you grow a couple different strains each cycle.
No. Never again. I’m growing about as simply and organic as I reasonably can, producing flowers for personal use that are better than what I could buy at dispensaries…for what feels like almost free since I’m already way past recouping start-up costs in what I’ve harvested.
Thanks for the replies!
I kind of figured most don’t really have a need to go anymore, so why spend the money…
I could see buying carts from one. I kind of doubt I’ll try to make carts, so I can see doing that.
I’m definitely planning on making a lot of edibles, so I’ve been reading up as much as I can about making them and extraction methods.
I go about once a month and get a few bags of edibles for my wife. Every once in a while I will grab an 1/8 or some prerolls if something catches my eye. My wife takes a few cbd/thc blend everyday, usually in smaller doses. It’s not exactly cheap to go buy them but it’s super convenient and one less thing I have to do.
Edibles: I forget who recommended her on which thread here, but Emily Kyle has an excellent site all about edibles. Very educational and superb presentation. Give it a check if your serious about getting into making them. Theres some pretty knowledgeable members here as well. Happy growing!
I stop at the dispo sometimes. Mostly for premade edibles. Since the Mrs has been shuffling two kids around for sports, and 7m old to chase crawling around the house, doesn’t allow for a lot of time to make edibles.
When I go I’ll ask for the strain list from the cart section, to try something new. Not all carts are equal quality, found that out. The ceramic ones have much better flavor, and some brands have additional terpenes “watering” down the concentrate.
Fishy G’day mate no Dispo here is illegal still ,
