Small game & bow works to our advantage,perfect for harvest.
If your new to outdoors in Michigan be advised that Michigan has DNR cop's up the ass with full arrest powers & guns,small gardens spread apart work best,a gps system should be your best friend.

you don't need an early strain to grow here, one that finishes by mid october will be fine unless your in the u.p. stay away from hazes as they will finish in november and that.... that's too late. i am in sw mi and have had no problems with bag seed, cheese, new purple power, durban poison, n.l., and white widow. those are the ones that i can say for sure will finish for ya because they finished for me (besides all the auto-flowering strains).
i start usualy the first week of april in jiffy greenhouses outside, if it's gunna be cold i bring em in, this will give you huge plants cuz of all the vegging time there gunna have with such an early start. i get 1 gallon grow bags, fill em with f.f. potting soil, put the jiffy's in em and wait til there about 1.5-2 feet tall, cut around the bottom of the grow bag, take the bottom off and drop em in hole out in corn fields, and the edges of tree lines. if you plant in field know that most michigan farmers use rapid-ready soy beans so they can spray fields and kill everything but the soy.....

Wow the Michigan folks come out of the woodwork. Do you all grow outdoors? VV
North of cadillac you're forced to start them indoors in april for veg.time. Still have snow on the ground first of april in TC. You get 3 wks. extra growing s. of clare. Don't have the fields up north like sw. mi. Have to spot plant along tree edges camo'd in thistle, burdock, pickers etc. Must be very cautious of bow hunters in full camo hiding in trees starting 10-1.

i grew in harrison once, that's the furthest north i've been. not too many fields up there. i planted in a opening behind an obandoned trailer that looked like it was an old dump, lots of concrete and thistles.... had to do alot of maintaining... watering, clearing out other vegitaion... and so on. i think it's alot easier in my area, but it's what i'm used to.

The State Board Of Canvessors is Meeting today 3/3 @ 3:00. AND one of the items on the agenda is the ballot initiative for making Medical Marijuna available for patients with thier doctors recommendation for certain illnesses. No one has raised any objection to the 1/2 million signatures we turned in and we expect they will pass it to the 2008 ballot so the voters can decide. Please educate yourselfs on all of the objections that will be thrown out there over the coming months. The petition provides for additional penalties for people that try and abuse the system it creates in addition to the penalties already in place. THis is one of the reasons my sister, who is against legalization, signed the petition. It is not about legalizing, it is about using effective simple medicine for pain relief that is less expensive with none of the adverse side affects of 'legal' presriction drugs.
