The hippies grow

OK, So I've been seeing a lot of people freaking out and doing stuff to plants that doesn't need to be done. I'm gonna show you a good setup that's easy to follow and cheap. Pay attention and don't say this won't work because I've been doing it since the 80's.



Materials:
3 gallon pot per plant
Dirt from outside
Water
4 Ft fluorescent light fixture and bulb
2 cool white for veg*
2 warm white for flowering


Location: Closet of course.


That is all you need. The method begins now.


Get dirt from outside your house. Take grass out and airate it. Put in oven at 350 for about 45 mins. That just killed all the bad stuff.


Fill the pot with the dirt and airate as you fill.


Flood the dirt with WARM water and let it be EXTREMELY wet.


Get lights from anywhere. Walmart,Kmart,Sears etc... There 10-20 bucks depending on where you go.


Install with cool white bulbs 2 FT above pot. Keep them on a 18/6 cycle. Raise lights as needed.


After 2 months switch one bulb out with warm and the following week switch the other with warm.


Switch to 12/12 at this time.


Let flower for 2 1/2 months


Cut off leafes and leave just the bud 3 days before ending flowering


Cut stem but leave bud on the stem and hang upside down for 2 weeks to 1 month


* REMEMBER to water when dirt is dry on top and keep area clean.*


That's all you gotta do.

Have you ever tried it? How do you think it was grown years ago? It does work gives great bud and great taste. Did you know the curing process is what makes the bud taste and smoke well? You can have the shittiest bud ever cure it long enough and you will have great bud. I forget to mention that anyway. I recomend 2 weeks to 1 month cure time.

I'm gonna journal this grow. When my seeds get here I'm gonna start taking pics and vids. That will prove the not so great results.

I don't get why people doubt anyway. I don't think people realize this is how it was grown a long time ago.
Because the methods have changed. Everyone is in competition on who has the best bud and so a complete organic grow with no nutes and using artificial lighting is old school... you will never EVER get 'cannabis cup' quality bud this way. I am however interested in the results myself :)

Weed a long time ago is way better than the weed they have now. We let it do it's own thing back then. We didn't stress it or force grow like people do now. Some people did use nutes but most didn't. I'm gonna show you how good it can be in just a couple weeks when my seeds get here.

I wouldve thought that "back in the day" weed was grown outdoors under the big bulb in the sky?

^are you kidding me? you do realize that weed "back in the day" had like 5% THC, Now were in the twentys.. How do you consider it better?

But ya i bet your totally right; weed grown with no nutes, shitty soil, and probably the worse lighting you could use must produce a shit load of potent weed...
It may be stronger but it isn't better. The taste is nasty there force grown and nutes contaminate. You can flush but there is still gonna be a trace amount in it. Also by using nutes and shit just makes the goverment less likely to legalize than they already are.*

I'm sure some checked PH. Nobody I knew did though and neither do I. All you have to do if it's tap water is let sit a couple hours and it will be free of bad stuff.

The weed you grow is gonna have the same amount of THC. It doesn't increase/decrease with the method you use. It can take longer/shorter but that's it. If you get white widow and use my method it will still produce the trichomes as if it was under a 1000watt light.
