I ve been growing for a year or two. Been running world of seeds afghan kush x yumbolt in a 3 x 3 tent with a 600 watt hps. Amazes me how much money ive wasted over the last 20 years of burning. Real happy to be growing my own now. Obviously in an illegal state for now but weighing all the options this is the way to go. You know. Proud to NOT be supporting my local criminals!
Upgrading to an 8 x 4 tent and supplementing the hps with leds . I got a hold of that med man gear and have a ppk and conkushion vegging now. And have access to other cuts when I get room for them.
Got some pics to throw down. Peep my bubble bag hash. The buds and plant pictures are the ak x yumbolt.
I use the pro terra soilless and try to use all smartpots when I can.3 and 5 gallon. Phantom ballast. Badass bulb.

My cousin got some seeds from him and were doing some pheno hunting now. Im momming up a ppk and a conkushion for an upcoming run. Im sure its gonna be outstanding to me regardless. Im just a guy thats been buying junk off the streets for the last twenty years. Same thing with my cousin. I showed him my tent and he was off and running. We both research heavy and get better with every mistake we make.

Okay GA..and mowood I am confused very much right now. About what you are talking about. If you dont have nothing Nice to say then dont say nothing. I dont like being confused. The world has enough dicks. You dont have to be one.
 
Hey cheddacat =)

Really happy for you when I read "Proud to NOT be supporting my local criminals!"
Know perfectly what you feel !

I live in France, so illegal & criminal weed are well-known words for me ;)
I grow indoor since 4 months (very first indoor grow, outdoor in my garden before) and what a nice pleasure to have pure dank & organic home-made !!!

I feel you Bio.. Anybody around have any detailed information for me about the ak x yumbolt from world of seeds. Im looking for real information or links to grow journals or stuff like that. I do alot of reading. For people who want to know what I think about it is I like it. Some of the best Ive ever had. Limited on my strain knowledge but I like it and im keeping it. All I had was one fem seed. It was a freebie. Thx.WOS. Thx.Tude. I had a couple other strains of different things but didnt enjoy so those are no longer with us. Afghan Kush x Yumbolt rocks. Really excited tho to get these purple pain killers going. Still early in the game with that though. Whats up Med Man.good looking out.

Even in illegal states there are people who sell weed that they grow. They are not criminals. They are cannabis growers just like you are. They just take a bigger risk to get a bigger return.

Some of them never even intended to sell weed. They just got good at growing and had more than they needed. Times are tough and a little extra cash is always welcome.

I used to be you and then I became a provider to the people in the anti-pot state I live in.

Otherwise I love your post. It is crazy how much money you can save growing your own. Many people that buy recreational weed have great jobs, can afford to smoke and don't want to hassle growing weed. I like to find those people. LOL!

I just thought your assessment of ur local herb dealers as "criminals" was a little harsh
It seemed to be a negative judgment laden statement.
Did these "criminals" ever use force, blackmail or some other nefarious actions to get you to buy herb from them? Or did u do it of Your own volition?
Doesnt the consumer have any responsibility in the transaction?

Im glad ur growing your own successfully. Good job..
Its a good feeling, but imho there is no reason to be upset at the people who sold u herb previously.
But i could be wrong? U may in fact have good reason to be bitter.
Either way i applaud you for taking personal responsibility and growing ur own thereby mitigating ur need to participate in the retail marketplace.

Just dont grow any extra or you may find yourself in the same category of criminals u r so happy to no longer be supporting.

basically, I have nothing against those who sell part of their production, but I've known some and they had problems with envious bastards or police and go to jail for few months (almost an half-year)... :/

In France it's not so different than other country, but the 2 main choices are: know a (good) grower, simply; or going to ghettos (called "cité" in french) and make business in staircases of buildings with face-hooded men (but they're often really friendly) and many family with kids often passed by. Not the good way, you could easily see the sadness and "sick and tired" in their eyes..
Not my philosophy to contribute, even if some "cité" have reaaally strong dank Haze strains from Netherlands ^^

People they sell some grams to make "profitable" the equipment and/or electric bill are NOT criminal ;) (imo)

Hey I used to grow in OH too. started for self, always had extra, moved it along to friends. Got tired of the walking nightmare of being royally screwed. Moved to Cali.


a bastinado platform and a set of stocks in order to punish dishonest dope dealers in a proper public fashion. -hst

Good luck bud!

Seems the "grow your own" method is catching on in ohio. Hydro shops popping up everywhere. Its a good step in the right direction. ....now if we can just turn some of these corn fields into pot fields we will be set! :plant grow:

I have to get home and put some hash in my pipe before I respond to all of this nonsense. I mean seriously guys. I am in the inner city. People can do whatever they want with pot. I dont care. The definition of the word criminal is clear and has nothing to do with the good herb. I stopped after work at the pub for a few after working 10 hours. Putting my buzz on.

Hatchbrew and urbangorilla that is cool stuff. Im in the city so unfortunately I cant grow outside. Closest fields are 45 mins away. Even if I was out there I wouldnt grow outside because the choppers are out no doubt. What I do in the privacy of my home is exactly that. The privacy of my home.. I give my extra pot away. Im not greedy. I just want a little. I dont need it all. We trying to come up from something thats been holding us down for so long.. so im not stingy. But in the meantime I will be inside with these hps and leds. Rock and r
Roll. Just bought a couple of the 300 watt apollo leds with 100 3 watt epistar chips. I know they are not the best but I had to try for first leds. If they work I am buying four more . Can anyone tell me some stuff about those? I want to veg and supplement Hps with them.
Also I am thinking of switching from pro terra soiless to promix..at half of the cost . I gotta see what specific types they have at the store though.high drainage or whatever. What you know about that. Well I have things to do today so and hopefully ill stop back later and see some positive responses. Thanks. Peace yall.

Maybe somebody could help us out with that since I really cant be too much help besides giving very little info about it or answering specific questions of my personal grows.
