    I am looking for a couple of new strains

    In the 8 years I have been growing, I have never tried a dominate sativa strain. Any suggestions? I also need to know where it can be bought in the U.S., preferably with Paypal. I usually buy from the DC exchange. In other words, I need to know where I can actually get it. In the spring, I am...

    Questions About Lights

    I have two questions. 1.) Is there a a formula for how much light is needed to cover a square ft. area based on watts? For now, I need to stick with watts because my lights are old and watts is the only number I have access to. If I end up with a ballpark figure that is good enough for right...

    Edibles, the effects on your liver and immune system

    I don't know the scientific facts about this. I have been using infused oil since 2013. My liver enzymes have dropped since I have been using it. I have noticed nothing but improvement overall and have no immune system changes as far as I know.

    Bud Trimmer Recommendations?

    Does anyone have a recommendation for a bud trimming device? There are cheap ones like the one below. https://www.ebay.com/itm/VIVOSUN-16-19-inch-Manual-Leaf-Plant-Bud-Flower-Bowl-Trimmer-Twisted-Spin-CutUS/143384191624?_trksid=p2485497.m4902.l9144 Then there are others priced higher which...

    cutting fan leaf for light penetration

    What I do is cut off fan leaves as they turn yellow. I figure a dying leaf is not helping the plant anyway. That removes enough light blockage for my purposes. I have tried doing all kinds of suggested thing to plants. The best results I get come from just letting the plant grow as close to the...

    Ever eat or smoke the roots?

    I have always thought of using roots for something. I am open to it. The problem I have is getting dirt off the roots. Has anyone figured that out? The dirt on cannabis roots is so embedded I just gave up.

    Best seed banks in the US?

    There are a lot of good seed banks. I haven't tried that one. I bought some really great seeds from the DC Exchange. I feel lucky because the names of strains available are not what we are used to. Without any frames of reference, finding a very good strain is difficult. We all know what white...

    Why Cannabis Remains Illegal

    Those in favor of legalizing never work together. Groups like NORML have still not figured out that those who work within the formal political system never get there way in governments. Groups like this turn into mostly social clubs where folks fantasize their representatives are paying...

    Experiment With Chinese Led Blurples

    Thanks Deadhead13. I never post images because I get too much advice I am not asking for. Beside, I am a slob and my grow room looks super bluesed out. Maybe I will turn over a new leaf someday. Besides, at the moment I don't own a digital camera. I do have plenty of weed though.

    Experiment With Chinese Led Blurples

    I have been using Chinese Blurples about like the ones in the Ebay ad below. https://www.ebay.com/itm/2Pack-Morsen-1000w-Full-Spectrum-Led-Grow-Light-Indoor-Hydroponic-Plant-Veg-Lamp/183722491156?hash=item2ac6b6bd14:g:V0MAAOSwgbVdIM90 My standard approach with emerging technology is to shoot no...

    Tinctures, Has Anyone Treid This

    I typically use infused coconut oil but am going to make a tincture for comparison. I prefer to use something other than alcohol but I understand alcohol tinctures are about 4 times a potent as those made with glycerin. Would it work to make an alcohol tincture, add glycerin and then boil off...

    What would be standard police procedure, if they discovered my grow?

    I can't say you won't get busted but the odds are against it. There may be some but I have never known of a case where a person has been busted for just growing for personal use. If you are growing as a business and you are found out, stop! The average cop could care less. Most marijuana...

    The Public Sucks

    In a country where folks brag about freedom of speech a foreign news organization should not be a threat to anyone.

    The Public Sucks

    Don't mistake me as being a Trump supporter. I am working harder than you can imagine in opposing him. I am in fact a conspiracy theorist. That is because all activity in Washington DC is conspiracy based. I have not been able to identify a serious political initiative that is no rooted in one...
