Need farming advice...

I'm at th7 (bounce between 1100-1200 trophies) and am looking to upgrade my troops but my elixir growth is pretty stagnant. the bases I attack barely get me to even after I retrain troops. My gold stash grows quickly. Any tips

Resources only with no regard to trophies (Farming)
Half Barbs, half Archers (BARCH, as stated above). Basic concept here is to have the Barbs tank for the Archers. It's best if you find bases with full collectors, because you typically won't be able to go too deep into bases with these troops. Works for all levels, just be prepared to drop a lot of trophies. Very efficient and economical.

Solid all-around army for for farming and trophies
Basically BARCH except you trade some Barbs for a few Giants and 6-10 Wallbreakers. I personally feel more than 12 Giants produces diminished returns, but there are plenty of people who do well with upwards of 20. Lead with a few Barbs to trip up the spring traps, then drop the WBs followed by Giants, followed by Barbs, followed by Archers.

Hogtarding -- the noob tube of CoC
Using Lvl 5 Hogs with Lvl 6 healing spells is pretty much indefensible for bases without Inferno Towers. There are some th 9s that can hang, but most get crushed. The attack is cheap as hell from a moral standpoint, but it will cost you a ton of Dark. I go 32 Hogs and the rest Archers. Lure out the Clan Castle troops (very important!) and the heroes and use the archers to kill them. Then dump all the hogs at once. Drop the healing spells where they're headed (not where they are) as needed. Takes just a little bit of practice. I usually can get by with 1-3 healing spells, but I use all five in war attacks most of the time. Guaranteed 100% but useless against high-level bases. Great for trophy hunting <2600, and unmatched for elixir farming.

Advanced trophy hunting
Known as GOWIPE (Golem/Wizard/Pekka) Clear a path with some archers, drop a Golem or two, drop a few Pekkas, then follow with some Wizards. Takes some practice, but will get you the TH on most attacks if done correctly. Super expensive, and not guaranteed to get all the resources. Purely a trophy attack.

Others I've used (but not regularly)

-- GOWIWI: Like GOWIPE, except with Witches instead of Pekkas. Used at 2600+
-- BAM: Barbs/Archers/Minions. Good for farming, builds quickly and saves elixir.
-- Balloonian: Balloons (they get good at lvl 6) and minions. Just as bitch as hogs, but not as effective, imo.

You can find all of these on YouTube, and there is more subtlety to them than I've described. But most of that is intuitive after a few trial runs.

Just read this....nice post

Think that costs around 13K Elixir to produce and can easily crush a poorly designed base that uses elixir as a wall to the gold/TH/Base,

you could around 40K elixer in some spots.

Yeah look for collectors on the outside of bases. Every now and then you will get lucky with storage outside too. Use just enough to take those out and don't worry about the rest. Obviously there are times when you may want to take out a mortar but for the most part do as minimal as possible.

Doing this tactic you might lose some trophies but this is not a big deal. If you see a good economic target to take out the whole base then go for it.

Just had a guy join that's now #2 in our clan. He also seems very willing to donate. Should fit in well.

+1, i think I'm going to focus on attack power for a couple weeks. If i can't get at least 4 stars between my 2 attacks, I'm not helping at all.
