I took my sweet time coming here but alas i have joined. I look forward to discussing everything here. It seems like a very informative site. Where i am on the east coast i am trying to help my area out by educating both patients and caregivers on medicine, and what to look for here instead of being victums to latent nute build-up, or going to unsavory folks to get quality medicine that's been keifed or fondled in any way is bad juju in my book. It's important to me now that this has taken such a foothold nationwide that folks not walk around ignorant or uneducated in my area. I do this by listening intently, asking valid questions and sticking to my goals till there complete (in some semblance of completion). I have already seen some really good concise advice given in random posts i search engined before joining. I am an outdoor start em inside around feburary till i see interspacing nodes on veggin ladies then throw em outside and hope for the best till september. That was how i was raised to care for my ladies. Yeah i know really sketchy right?, true enough with "hunters"(crop thieves), insects and moose that are just hell to a small garden ive transitioned to indoor. Three years into indoor i have aquired the following-two tents the growlab 120 tent with a 600 watt hps kooltuber, a growlab dr80 with a 400 watt hps for a continual grow so i dont run out ya know!

then ive purchased an astronomical amount of jiffy pots sterilized potting mix(50 bags) and 416 watts of t-5 flouro's with the 6k tubes(beasts for seedlings and vegging in my opinion). I have taken a year to accumulate all this stuff and have been using misc. bag beans because of the unsurity of "buying" beaners has me spooked and to be honest 120 bucks for 10-12 beans makes me shiver without seeing the proof that they are as advertised. Which i wouldnt be able to really discern till flowering any old way! So here i am, By no means am i a cannabible but i will help if i can. I know the medical movement is huge and for an awesome cause but i need to give a big shout out to those old-school(and new) guerilla growers doing things right and keeping the flowers potent and sexy!

welcome .. and yea seems like you made your home work .. nice .. for once

and have most in place .. but TBO .. the seeds you buy is realy wort it .. strain is 90% of it .. in my oppinion .. I only use Femi seeds .. no time/space to grow males in my set up .. and mostly Indica strains (need low bushes to get most out of it indoor (agin in my opinion) no fun useing a lot of $ on gear and power .. not to talk about time wasted to grow poor strain/quality plants .. and maybe male plants ..

just think about what kind of $ you used on your set up .. and time .. do you want a big yield of good strong smoke .. or some flimsy/airy buds with a low % of THC after them 2-4 months of grow ? and xxx KW power used ?

well hear goes slipon, Most recently had a horrible nightmare screw up my sativa dominant ladies(was crying no lie), after last week of veggin(july 20thish) had to move my ladies to a storage area of my house due to pipe bursts, then the ladies picked up SPIDERDINKMITES, I was awestruck because i am anal about sterilizing my area but the move was done in a half asleep, ignorant motion that i would later regret with all of my heart. Went at em with neem and sd 40 i think it was....killed em dead but to be honest the ladies just dont look the same. Gonna let em finish but i cannot stand this and will do massive diligence to avoid said dinks in the future. As for the beans, I would LOVE to get genetics that would help my situation instead of be hit and miss. I am NOT a patient, or a caregiver. I will not try to take advantage of medical cannabis because i dont have a terminal illness. I have severe pain but i dont need a physician or the man to tell me what i can or cant do with my life. Just being straight up honest. So until i find a SOLID , trustworthy, farmer like myself who can help with this i will continue to try my best in this area. I have been lucky to have grown kush twice and was awestruck at the difference in quality and trichrome distribution. It is a shame we live in an enviroment where folks are nervous about sharing because some folks are douchebags! That being said i'd rather be part of the solution than the problem. Love and namaste!
