Thanks in no small part to the people here, Vulx continues a great success trajectory in the world of commercial cultivation. Newly added to our serviced regions is the Emerald Triangle. If it works for these growers here, folks, it will work for you.
I did a professional photo-shoot today, but I snapped some of my own shots to share with y'all here and some friends because, well, these places are just cool, man.
Starting with the small/relatively unexciting stuff, these Gelatos are still in their starters and will soon be up-potted to their new homes and amended with Vulx.
Until now, we've mainly been serving customers growing for flower, with one notable exception. One case is not enough for me to say definitively to a customer that spending the money on Vulx for a mother plant would get a return that would make it financially viable.
These Doc OGs were just amended, and they're going to be moms! Cute little ladies. Didn't get to snap their non-Vulx counterparts. Or maybe this is half and half - I'm not sure to be quite honest.
MAC is a slow-growing strain, I learned, so the owner of this farm actually suggested we try Vulx there. So we amended 20 gallon smart pots and up-potted the MACs from 3 gallons. 5/8 were amended (the guy is very familiar with these genetics).
Here are the
non-amended MACs.
And here are the
amended MACs.
It's a little hard to see the difference, so here is a side shot of the
non-amended MACs again. This time, take a look at a couple things. Firstly, they are by the side of the hoop, and therefore get more sun. Also take note of the side-branching.
Now compare that to a closer look at the
amended MACs and the side-branching. It's clearly thicker across the board, and the plants are just taller and bushier.
In the beginning of this endeavor, I was still unsure of Vulx's capabilities, and it took a while to learn how to apply its effects practically. Nowadays, I don't even give it a second thought. Sh*t works.
That said, I did not expect that I would see a difference in those MACs after only
a week of being amended. I wanted to make sure this wasn't confirmation bias so I asked the owner of the farm, and this is what he said. It was a conversation so probably not exact but the core points are there.
"When we transplanted they all looked the same really, but now yours I think are a little taller. The lateral branches look fatter, and all of them are definitely bushier. The MACs by the edge got more sun, too, so I'm not sure what else it could be but your stuff."
So, all in all, a good visit. Plus, WOW, look at these Sour Apples. They were just so vibrant in person. This guy really knows his stuff - I wish I could let you smell his personally-crafted genetics. I mean, wow. It was
so good that at one point I was convinced that smelling some of that flower got me stoned.
And, even though I was literally there for a photoshoot, I just couldn't help but to grab a selfie. When you visit a place like this, it's just what you do.
Hope you all enjoyed the photos! I'm going back on Friday to amend 1200 sq ft of dirt (two 6x100 beds) and hopefully I will have some more photos for you of that process. I don't care who you are, seeing this stuff grown at this scale with tractors and stuff out in the open is just
cool.
Cheers, everyone!
