I'm in Abq also. Early on I grew out some clones I got from a friend of a friend in Colorado. They were good, but came with spider mites. Other than that, and other than making a few clones for myself, I'm mostly growing from seed. Sure is a hassle from seed, though.

I'm also using the FF stuff, Ocean Forest, Grow Big, Big Bloom, Tiger Bloom. I've always used Don't Bug Me for mites, and have used it to ereadicate bugs I already had, and then I use it preventatively every couple of weeks or so on the assumption that the bugs are there.

I've made butter before, but the taste just gags me. I also have trouble modulating the dose, so if I use a little too much it makes me feel less than good. Right now I'm thinking about bubble hash for the trimmings from what is now in soil. Researching the internets for info about the best equipment and procedures. I sure hate to waste all that lovely sugary trim.
