Edson, Alberta?

If that is the case then if you make it up this way dont be shy about giving me a heads up PM. Be happy to show you the garden and share some wares....
Yes, that one lol.

Just think; if Ted Cruz ( :spew:)can be president of the United States despite being born in Canada to one American parent, I can too - cuz BOTH my folks were Americans!

I'd love to visit! Not sure when, but it's always great to have mates in interesting places! Same offer to you, if you feel like a visit to Colorado!

Colorado? Fuck ya!

And a trip there is in the works. My gf is from Illinios and we go down to visit her family periodically. We both agreed that next trip includes a stop in Colorado to sample strains...lol

Edson eh? Then it figures that youd find a place down south near mountains...they get in the blood...lol

You just got Trudeau, how's that a bad thing?
Its not bad. I voted for him for a few reasons....but mainly because he promised to legalize the bud.

He is the touchy feely liberal i speak of.... he is stalling on the legalization when he promised to move fast on it. All of a sudden it isnt a priority so... just a little miffed...

But! Our supreme court just ruled that he MUST deal with the medical bud issue within 6 months.

I voted for Justin as well for the same reason but I'm not holding my breath, as his father was all in favor of decriminalization (with Joe Clark and Ed Broadbent agreeing....and it still never happened). If he can make it happen then I'll vote Liberal again....if not it's back to the Tory's

BTW: I used to live in Hinton in 1977, when Joe was our MP & Prime Minster

Times and attitudes were way different back then. I believe justin will get it done...just not as fast as i had hoped...

Hinton! Alberta boys coming out of the wood work. You end up in colorado too? Lol

If you guys voted for Justin for the marijuana issue you voted for the wrong guy :(, if NDP would have won it would be decriminalized now. Don't think for a second that it's not going to be setup for the big players to make money, and don't think for a second you'll be able to grow it in your back yard. Not saying he's not the best of three choices but I think many have blinders on re pot. But anyhooo I keep my lights on from 8pm-8am cause it's cheaper here :).

What i forgot to say ....

I wish we had a grumpy guy like bernie up here to rail away against corporate greed and all that ...

But we are a too polite up here...you may recall...lol
No, sadly I don't recall. I was three months old when I left the country, hence my interest in returning to see what I missed.

I considered NDP, but Muclair started backing away from decriminalization as vote day got closer... while Trudeau got louder about legalisation.

Funny how Muclair in recent days has been harping about decriminalization again... :p

I'm just growing for myself. I'll tell you though, they're getting frosty quick after a 36 hour dark period 6 weeks in before 11-13 and the buds are developing quicker. I also read this will bring out more resin.

I have a chronic bladder pain condition, really seeking out how to get the most potency over yield, any tips on that my friend? I appreciate you jumping in the thread.
You should try MH for flower. Something like Hortilux's Blue MH. You will be pleasantly surprised at the potency increase. Short periods of UVB added during lights on will increase potency even more. I switched to Hortilux Blue a year or so ago on strains I have run for many years. The increase in potency is very noticeable. The only downfall is having to replace the bulb every 6-7 months.But its worth it too me for the benefits found in the final product. Yield may fall a bit. But the increased potency more than makes up for the loss in yield.

If you like MH, you'll love CDM. Better spectrum, much more efficient and they last for three years.

I use to run CMH until they discountinued them. The Phillips Retro that is. I have heard great things about CDM and plan to try them soon.
315W CMH lamps run on low frequency digital square wave ballasts, which is the real source of their efficiency and performance. If you plan to run HID lighting for the next few years, you'll not do much better.

Have you used the 315? If so, what would you say its viable footprint is? I'm thinking something like 3ftx3ft?

I hope you are right about Justin getting it done but I have distrust, as I still remember his father giving Albertan's the finger

I'm on the wet coast with all the tree hugging pinko commie left winged BC Liberals....but likely better than the Alberta NDP
