Hello fellow growers! I am honored to be among such a great group of people that support something that is at the very least controversial and, in my case, very illegal. We must stand together and show that we are responsible citizens that have a right to handle our own health as we choose. Civil Disobedience.
Like many of you, I am in my mid fifties and have come back to cannabis from decades away for various reasons. In the mid eighties I grew for a couple of years. 10 X 12 bedroom with a 1000 w Metal Halide on a track and being pulled back and forth. CO2 system with the closet set for veg. and cloning. Got into some breeding and was starting to stumble on harvesting feminized seeds. The grows I had then are laughable to what I grow now, but it was a lot of land race strains that I wish I had back. Had to shut down when the company I ordered from had their records confiscated by the DEA. The DEA was using that info to bust down doors. The 80's man...I am still paranoid from that.
Currently, I am finishing my third year of growing in a very unique set up that I thought I would share. I am able to supply me with more cannabis than I need and keep a decent variety on hand all from a closet no bigger than 22" deep X 39" wide.
I have divided the closet in half with the bottom portion for vegging and the upper for flower. I do very short plants, with topping and LST they are no taller than 24" and usually around 18".
I have found that 4 plants are doable in the flower room and have been averaging over an ounce per plant.
The goal is to have a plant ready to replace a harvested one so I can get about one harvest every 3 weeks or so.
Right now I am running a Kind Soil test and so far so good. I know we have a Kind Soil expert here to keep an eye on me. I will post a separate grow general for it.
Please see my profile for more pics of grow room.
I hope to be able contribute to this community as this will be my only place to share what I have going on. I am NO expert and I have made almost every mistake you can, but I have had some success and I am very willing to share.
Thanks to all as this means a lot to me
