WHO IN TURN PASSED IT ON TO MORE PEOPLE IN SIMILAR CIRCUMSTANCES

HE HAS BEEN CHASING THE FOUR PALLETS OF PILLS SINCE !UGUST h! LOT OF PEOPLE ARE AFRAID TO SPEAK OUT ABOUT THEIR TREATMENT BY #USTOMS

DUE TO THE STRENGTH OF THEIR POWERS AND THEIR WILLINGNESS TO ABUSE THEMv 'RANT SAYS POINTING TO THE EXPERIENCE OF HIS BUSINESS PARTNER WHO WON A 3UPREME #OURT CASE REGARDING SEX SHOPS BUT WHOSE STOCK OF ALLEGEDLY IMMORAL MATERIAL WAS DELIBERATELY DAMAGED BEYOND USE BEFORE BEING RETURNED 0ADDY 'RANT REFUSES TO RULE OUT LEGAL ACTION SAYING THAT hALL POTENTIAL AVENUES ARE BEING EXPLORED AT PRESENTv BUT HE IS STILL ATTEMPTING TO NEGOTIATE A SETTLEMENT WITH THE AUTHORITIES 'IVEN THE BRUISING EXPERIENCES OF HIS BUSINESS PARTNER

'ROWING 0OWER 0LANT 00 IN THE CUPBOARD PART 4HIS IS THE SECOND ARTICLE IN THE SERIES ON GROWING 0OWER 0LANT 00 THE LADIES HAVE BEGUN TO BLOOM MORE AND MORE AND THE ABUNDANT BUDS ARE GROWING BIGGER AND FATTER BY THE DAY 7HAT WE CAN CONCLUDE FROM THIS IS THAT EVERYTHING IS PROCEEDING PRETTY SMOOTHLY 4HIS IS NOT TO SAY THAT THERE HAVE NOT BEEN A NUMBER OF SETBACKS TO DEAL WITH "UT IT HAS TO BE SAID THAT THE LOW OUTDOOR TEMPERATURES HAVE BEEN IDEAL SINCE THE COLD WEATHER AND THE LOW AIR MOISTURE CONTENT HAVE BEEN GREAT FOR GROWING )N THE FIRST FEW WEEKS OF THE GROWTH PERIOD THE LOW AIR MOISTURE WAS ACTUALLY A BIT OF A NUISANCE GIVEN THAT MARIHUANA PLANTS DEVELOP MUCH MORE QUICKLY AND INCREASE IN SIZE MORE SIGNIFICANTLY WITH HIGH AIR MOISTURE "UT THE SIMPLE EXPEDIENT OF PLACING A LARGE CAN OF WATER IN THE GROW CUPBOARD IMMEDIATELY RAISED THE AIR MOISTURE CONTENT 4HE HEAT FROM THE LAMPS EVAPORATED THE WATER FROM THE CAN THANKS TO WHICH THE AIR MOISTURE WAS SOON OF A MUCH MORE WELCOME LEVEL /F COURSE FOR SUCH SITUATIONS THERE ARE A NUMBER OF COMMERCIAL AIR HUMIDIFIERS ON THE MARKET BUT SINCE WE ONLY WANT ELEVATED AIR MOISTURE FOR A COUPLE OF WEEKS AT MOST AND GIVEN THAT OUR GROW CUPBOARD IS ON THE SMALL SIDE COMPARED TO OTHER GROW SPACES THEN USING THE OPEN CAN OF WATER METHOD WAS SUFFICIENT )N ADDITION TO THE AIR MOISTURE LEVEL THE P( VALUE IS ALSO OF GREAT IMPORTANCE FOR SUCCESSFULLY RAISING 00S

BUT THE WAY IN WHICH WE DO THIS AND THE SPEED WE CAN MAKE CHANGES IS DEPENDENT ON THE SUBSTRATE WE ARE USING 3O FOR EXAMPLE IF YOU RE USING ROCK WOOL THEN YOU CAN MAKE A CHANGE IN THE P( VALUE VERY QUICKLY WHILE IF YOU RE GROWING IN SOIL THEN THINGS CAN BE A BIT TRICKIER 4HE SOIL ACTS AS A SORT OF BUFFER THANKS TO WHICH THE REPAIR OF THE P( LEVEL CAN TAKE A BIT LONGER 4HE SOIL MIX DOES HAVE THE ADVANTAGE THOUGH IN THAT HUGE SWINGS IN THE P( ARE MUCH HARDER TO CAUSE 7HEN USING ROCK WOOL SUCH HUGE SWINGS ARE POSSIBLE AND THIS IS SOMETHING YOU SHOULD WATCH OUT FOR 7HEN THINGS GO WRONG BY FOR EXAMPLE MAKING A WRONG CALCULATION AS TO THE QUANTITIES OF NUTRIENT TO ADD TO THE WATER THEN THEY OFTEN GO WELL AND TRULY WRONG )N JUST A FEW DAYS A FIELD OF WONDERFUL LOOKING PLANTS CAN BE DEVASTATED

BECOMING A MANGY LOOKING MESS OF SHRIVELLED PLANTS AND YELLOW LEAVES

i /NE SUBSTANCE THAT HAS ALWAYS BEEN VERY USEFUL AGAINST LARGE WOBBLES IN P( VALUE WHEN GROWING ON SOIL IS LIME ,IME MADE FROM SEAWEED EXTRACT IS PARTICULARLY WELL LIKED BY MARIHUANA GROWERS USING SOIL 4HE LIME CREATES A STRONG BUFFER AND KEEPS THE P( VALUE A LOVELY CONSTANT THANKS TO WHICH THE PLANTS CAN OPTIMALLY TAKE UP AND USE THE NUTRIENTS AND STIMULATORS 4HE USE OF LIME IS ESPECIALLY TO BE RECOMMENDED WHEN GROWING A LONG BLOOMING VARIETY )T PREVENTS FURTHER ACIDIFICATION OF THE SOIL MIX THANKS TO

WHICH THE PLANTS CAN SAFELY BLOOM FULLY AND OPTIMALLY !S WELL AS THE P( VALUE

THE EC VALUE IS ALSO VERY IMPORTANT

Û> Õi 4HE FURTHER INTO A GROW YOU GO THE MORE IMPORTANT CHANGES IN THE EC VALUE BECOME )F CHANGE OCCURS VERY SLOWLY AND NOT IN A HUGE SWING THEN THE PLANTS CAN WITHSTAND IT WITH NO TROUBLE 4HE EVER RISING EC VALUE IS DUE TO THE SIMPLE FACT THAT TOTAL VOLUME OF NUTRIENT SALTS IN THE SUBSTRATE RISES 4HIS IS ALSO THE REASON WHY IT IS VERY IMPORTANT WHEN

/+ SO THIS IS NOT GOING TO HAPPEN SO EASILY TO MOST ROCK WOOL GROWERS

SINCE THEY KEEP A CLOSE ENOUGH WATCH OF THINGS )N THE WORLD OF PROFESSIONAL AGRICULTURE WHERE A LOT OF THINGS ARE STILL GROWN ON ROCK WOOL THIS KIND OF SURVEILLANCE HAS BEEN TAKEN OVER

BY COMPUTER CONTROLLED PROGRAMMES

THANKS TO WHICH HUGE DEBACLES SUCH AS THE ONE DESCRIBED ABOVE RARELY HAPPEN 3ADLY SUCH HIGH TECH SOLUTIONS ARE STILL COME WITH HEINOUSLY EXPENSIVE COSTS ATTACHED AND ARE SIMPLY OUT OF THE RANGE OF THE AVERAGE MARIHUANA GROWER 9ELLOW LEAF TIPS ARE A SIGN THAT THE EC VALUE IS A BIT HIGH

« Û> Õi !T THE BEGINNING OF THE GROW CYCLE THE P( VALUE WAS AROUND THE MARK !S THE WEEKS PROGRESSED THIS VALUE DID CREEP UP A LITTLE BUT FORTUNATELY

OTHER THAN A SINGLE SPIKE OF A SERIOUSLY HIGHER VALUE DID NOT BECOME A PERMANENT FEATURE )N ANY CASE WE CAN ALWAYS BRING THE P( VALUE DOWN BY USING A P( LOWERING AGENT *UST ADDING THIS TO THE NUTRIENT WATER WILL BRING THE P( VALUE OF THE SOIL MIX DOWN )F THE P( VALUE IS ALLOWED TO SLIP TOO FAR AWAY FROM OPTIMAL THEN THE PLANTS WILL FIND INCREASINGLY DIFFICULT TO CONTINUE TO TAKE UP THE NUTRIENTS THEY NEED 4HERE ARE STILL MANY GROWERS WHO INVEST A TIDY SUM IN FERTILIZERS AND STIMULATORS

BUT THEN ALLOW THE P( VALUE TO GO ITS OWN COURSE 4HE RESULT IS THEN A RATHER DISAPPOINTED GROWER BECAUSE THE PLANTS HAVE NOT PERFORMED ANY BETTER THAN THEY DID BEFORE THE INVESTMENT $ESPITE ALL THE GOOD INTENTIONS HAVING A TOO HIGH OR TOO LOW P( VALUE IS OFTEN THE PROBLEM HERE )N SHORT KEEPING THE P( UNDER CONTROL IS VERY IMPORTANT

4HE 00 HAS NOW BEGUN TO FLOWER LUXURIOUSLY

)T S STARTING TO LOOK LIKE A GOOD HARVEST LIES AHEAD OF US

3OFT 3ECRETS

HAVE REACHED THEIR MAXIMUM SIZE ANYWAY THERE IS LITTLE DAMAGE DONE %VEN BETTER THE BUDS MAY EVEN PUMP OUT A LITTLE MORE OF THEIR CRYSTALLINE POWDER THANKS TO THE STRESS THEY WERE PUT UNDER BY THIS RAISED EC 4HE PLANTS CAN ALSO SENSE THAT THEIR END IS IN SIGHT AND THIS IN COMBINATION WITH THE STRESS OF THE ELEVATED EC VALUE HAS THE EFFECT THAT THEY DUMP THE LAST OF THEIR LIFE FORCE INTO THE FLOWER HEAD PRODUCTION AND MATURATION WHICH HAS THE EFFECT OF MAKING THEM LOOK EVEN TASTIER ,OVERS OF 00 OFTEN GO ON ABOUT THE CHARACTERISTIC ODOUR AND AS LONG AS THE BUDS HAVE BEEN GIVEN A GOOD LONG DRYING PERIOD THE WEED IS OFTEN VERY SMOOTH IN TASTE TOO

4HE FLOWER HEADS ARE POSITIVELY DRIPPING WITH IT

GROWING ON SOIL THAT AT THE END OF EACH GROW CYCLE YOU THROW OUT THE OLD SOIL AND REPLACE IT WITH NEW !T A PUSH TWO PARTS NEW SOIL TO ONE PART OLD IS ACCEPTABLE RISK BUT IF YOU DO THIS MAKE SURE THAT THE TWO SOILS ARE WELL AND TRULY MIXED TOGETHER "ECAUSE IF A MARIHUANA PLANT AT ANY TIME DURING THE GROW CYCLE SUDDENLY FINDS ITS ROOTS COMING IN TO CONTACT WITH A SECTION OF SOIL WITH A VERY HIGH

4HE LADIES ARE RIPE FOR HARVESTING

EC VALUE THEN THERE IS A HIGH CHANCE OF POISONING 4HIS IS THE REASON WHY ) AM PERSONALLY A SUPPORTER OF THE USE OF A COMPLETELY FRESH SOIL MIX AND THROWING OUT ALL OF THE OLD ONE AT THE END OF ITS CYCLE 4HIS JUST WORKS OUT A LOT BETTER ALL ROUND YOU CAN BE CERTAIN THAT THE EC WILL BEGIN AT AROUND

THANKS TO WHICH WE CAN GROW WITH PEACE OF MIND 4HE EXTRA COST IN SOIL MIX IS SWALLOWED BY THE USUALLY BETTER YIELD AND FURTHER MORE MAKES

THE PROCESS MORE ENJOYABLE GENERALLY

SAFE IN THE KNOWLEDGE THAT AN OVER FERTILIZING ACCIDENT IS NOT HANGING OVER YOUR HEAD WAITING TO HAPPEN 7E TOO DID FIND THAT HALF WAY THROUGH THE BLOOM PERIOD A FEW PLANTS WERE SUFFERING FROM A SLIGHTLY TOO HIGH EC VALUE 9ELLOW LEAF TIPS AND YELLOW EDGES TO THE LEAVES OFTEN POINT TO SUCH OCCURRENCES /FTEN THESE SYMPTOMS ONLY SHOW UP AT THE END OF THE CYCLE

AND SINCE THE FLOWER HEADS BY THEN

!FTER ABOUT EIGHT OR NINE WEEKS OF BLOOMING THE FLOWER HEADS ARE SUFFICIENTLY DEVELOPED TO BE HARVESTED )T IS WELL KNOWN THAT 0OWER 0LANT PRODUCES QUITE A LARGE NUMBER OF FLOWER HEADS SO THAT MEANS THAT THE HARVESTING IS GOING TO TAKE A GOOD NUMBER OF HOURS TO COMPLETE 4HE MANY SMALL LEAVES THAT YOU TRIM OUT FROM AMONG THE BUDS ARE WELL WORTH THE EFFORT OF DRYING AND KEEPING 4HE LITTLE LEAVES ARE RICHLY COATED WITH A THICK LAYER OF CRYSTALS WHICH MAKES THEM RELATIVELY HEAVY )N SHORT THEY ARE IDEAL FOR MAKING A NICE LUMP OF HASH FROM ) HOPE THAT WITH THIS ARTICLE ) HAVE GIVEN YOU A PICTURE OF WHAT TO EXPECT FROM 0OWER 0LANT )T IS A PLANT THAT AS A GROWER YOU SIMPLY HAVE TO TRY AT LEAST ONCE AND WHETHER IT IS GROWN INDOORS OR OUTSIDE IT PROMISES A GOOD RESULT

@-EDI 7EED IS THE TERM GIVEN TO CANNABIS AND CANNABINOID APPLICATIONS THAT ARE USED BY PEOPLE AS A MEDICAL AID )T IS WIDELY KNOWN THAT @MEDICINAL GRADE CANNABIS HELPS ALLEVIATE THE PAIN DISCOMFORT AND SICKNESS ASSOCIATED WITH MANY MEDICAL CONDITIONS INCLUDING PSYCHOLOGICAL ILLNESSES AND PATHOGENIC DISEASES 4HOSE THAT REJECT SUCH FACTS ARE SUBJECT OF THEIR OWN AND OTHER PEOPLES MISGUIDANCE AND LACK OF UNDERSTANDING OVER THE SUBJECT OF CANNABIS AND HOW IT CAN HELP PEOPLE .ONBELIEVERS THAT HOLD A LIMITED KNOWLEDGE ABOUT HERBAL HEALING AND HERBAL FAITH THAT SERVE THEMSELVES 7ITH SUCH ASPECTS IN MIND

THEN WE PRESENT THIS CASE &IRSTLY WE MUST ASK WHAT EXACTLY IS @MEDICINAL GRADE CANNABIS !MBIGUOUS AS IT MAY SOUND MEDICINAL GRADE CANNABIS IS IN FACT !.9 VARIETY OF CANNABIS WHICH HOLDS VALUED MEDICINAL APPLICATION AND EFFECT FOR THE PERSON USING IT !SSUMPTION SUGGESTS THAT ONLY THE STRONGEST AND MOST POTENT VARIETIES OF CANNABIS CAN BE CONSIDERED @MEDICINAL GRADE 4HIS IS A COMMON DAY MYTH -AINLY PERPETUATED BY ZEALOTS AND SEED COMPANIES WHICH SHOULDN T REALLY BE LABELED MEDI OUTLETS TO BEGIN WITH 3UCH SUGGESTIONS OFTEN INSULT THE MEDI COMMUNITY WHILE CONFUSING THE REMAINING COMMUNITY OF RECREATIONAL GROWERS AND USERS 3INCE DIFFERENT VARIETIES OF CANNABIS EFFECT DIFFERENT PEOPLE DIFFERENTLY IT WOULD BE PRESUMPTUOUS TO CONCLUDE THAT ONLY THOSE VARIETIES WITH SAY FOR EXAMPLE A HIGHER 4(# OR #"$ CONTENT MAKE THE BEST MEDICINAL GRADE CANNABIS 4HAT S JUST NONSENSE #ANNABIS CAN BE USED TO HELP WITH SO MANY MEDICAL CONDITIONS THAT ONE APPLICATION ISN T ALWAYS SUITABLE FOR THE NEXT PERSONS CONDITION

AND SO SUCH CLEAR DISTINCTIONS THEREFORE CANNOT ALWAYS BE MADE 4HE QUALITY OF THE CANNABIS BEING APPLIED IS ALWAYS RELATIVELY AS IMPORTANT AS THE VARIETY OR QUANTITY

OF CANNABIS BEING APPLIED AS MEDICINE #ANNABIS THAT IS OLD MISTREATED

OR CONTAMINATED THEREFORE HOLDS

LITTLE VALUE TO THE MEDI COMMUNITY ,IKEWISE THE MATURITY OF THE CANNABIS AT HARVEST PLAYS A VERY IMPORTANT ROLE IN THE STRENGTH OF MEDICAL APPLICATION AND ITS OVERALL EFFECT &OR EXAMPLE

SOME MEDI GROWERS PREFER TO HARVEST INDICA VARIETIES OF CANNABIS EARLY DURING THE FLOWERING CYCLE AND THE SATIVA VARIETIES LATER TO HELP THEM /N THE OTHER HAND SOME MEDICINAL GROWERS HARVEST THEIR SATIVA VARIETIES EARLY AND THEIR INDICA VARIETIES LATER FOR THE MOST PREFERRED MEDICAL EFFECT -EDICINAL GROWERS MUST THEN BE AWARE OF THEIR OWN PERSONAL REQUIREMENTS AND HOLD A CERTAIN DEGREE OF EXPERIENCE IN CULTIVATION TO BE TRULY CAPABLE OF PRODUCING THEIR OWN hMEDI GRADE CANNABISv

4HE MEDICINAL MARIJUANA INDUSTRY TODAY IS BASED ON A TWO TIER BEDROCK &IRSTLY ITS FOUNDATIONS ARE BASED ON THE WISDOM TEACHINGS AND TRADITIONS OF MANY ANCIENT SKILLS CUSTOMS

AND RELIGIONS 3HAMANIC PRACTISES FROM !FRICA !YURVEDIC MEDICINE FROM )NDIA :OROASTRIAN THEROPY FROM !NCIENT 0ERSIA -EDIEVAL !POTHECARIES AND 6ICTORIAN 3URGEONS

EACH RECOGNISED AND VALUED THE ROLE OF CANNABIS IN THEIR MEDICINE 3ECONDLY

THE NEXT LAYER IS BASED UPON THE TRUST

RELIANCE AND GUIDANCE OF MODERN MEDI GROWERS BREEDERS CARERS AND USERS ACROSS THE COMMUNITY ! hMEDI CARERv IS THE TERM GIVEN TO SOMEONE THAT UNSELFISHLY GROWS CANNABIS FOR THE CONSUMPTION OF A MEMBER OF THE MEDI COMMUNITY USUALLY FOR FREE 4HE INTERNET HAS ALLOWED ALL THESE LIKE MINDED MEDI PEOPLE SOME ACTIVISTS TO BAND TOGETHER AND FORM THEIR OWN NETWORK SOCIETY COMMUNITY THAT GROWS IN SUPPORT DAILY /FTEN TO DETRIMENT OF THEIR OWN LIVES

HEALTH AND SAFETY THERE ARE MANY MANY MEDI WEED ACTIVISTS THAT FEEL MORALLY AND SOCIALLY BOUND TO GET INVOLVE IF NOT TO HELP THEMSELVES

THEN TO HELP OTHERS AFTER THEIR KIND 3INCE TOO MANY TO MENTION HAVE FALLEN ALREADY WE LL QUICKLY MENTION A FEW OF THE MOST DEDICATED ACTIVISTS THAT ARE STILL ALIVE AND MEDICATING

SOMEWHERE $UTCH 0IONEER 7ERNARD "RUINING HAS BEEN CAMPAIGNING FOR THE RIGHTS OF hMEDI WEITv USERS EVERYDAY SINCE HE FIRST THOUGHT ABOUT THE IDEA %VERT 3HOLTEN ANOTHER $UTCH -EDI 7EIT !CTIVIST IS STILL SPREADING KNOWLEDGE ABOUT VAPORIZING TO REDUCE HARM 3LACK "ABA GOOGLE IT IS STILL CHEWING THE ERB $EREK 7ILLAMS IS STILL SPREADING THE WORD ABOUT -EDI 7EED -ARCO 2ENDA IN #ANADIAN HAS LAUNCHED THE WORLDS FIRST -EDICAL -ARIJUANA JOURNAL 4REATING9OURSELF MAGAZINE ,AST THING WE HEARD 'RANNY 0AT WAS STILL MAKING CHEESE CAKES AND SHEPHERDS PIES $EDICATED #ANNABIS "REEDERS ARE ALSO PLAYING THEIR PART AND GETTING MEDICALLY INVOLVED 3OME OF THE LARGER SEED COMPANIES ARE NOW REFLEXIVE OF CUSTOMER DEMAND TAKING SERIOUSLY UPON WHAT IS SAID BY THE MEDI COMMUNITY GROWING THEIR SEEDS !DVANCEMENTS IN THE ABILITY TO TAKE READINGS ON THE CHEMICAL PROFILE OF @SAMPLES OF CANNABIS FLOWERS USING CHROMATOGRAPHY AND OTHER TECHNIQUES

ARE SLOWLY STARTING TO PROVIDE THE MEDI COMMUNITY WITH A MORE REALISTIC BACKGROUND OVER CANNABINOID CONTENT THAN WAS PREVIOUSLY AVAILABLE ,IKEWISE SMALLER BREEDERS LIKE 'ROW$OC 3EEDS HAVE BEEN ISOLATING USEFUL PLANT GENETICS WITH SPECIFIC CANNABINOID PROFILES TAILORED DIRECTLY TOWARDS HELPING THE MEDI COMMUNITY FOR SEVERAL YEARS NOW 4HE CONTROVERSY THAT FOLLOWS SUCH GROUNDBREAKING

BOTANICAL ADVANCEMENTS HOWEVER AT PRESENT OVERSHADOWS MUCH OF THE HEADWAY THAT THOSE MEDI BREEDERS

WITHIN THE MEDI COMMUNITY ARE SLOWLY MAKING -UCH OF THE DEVELOPMENT IN THE AREA OF MEDI BREEDING ACTUALLY RELIES UPON SUCH CRITICAL FEEDBACK AND CONSTRUCTIVE CRITICISM BETWEEN MEDI GROWERS AND BREEDERS THAT SOME SEED COMPANIES SIMPLY JUST CAN T HANDLE THE COMMITMENT TO THE CAUSE !LTHOUGH CYNICAL THOSE COMMERCIAL SEED BANKS AND OUTLETS THAT DON T VALUE AND RESPECT THE NEEDS OF THE MEDI CANNABIS COMMUNITY REALLY DO NEED TO STOP AND THINK ABOUT THE OVERALL SITUATION AND LEND A HAND 4HE -EDICINAL CANNABIS COMMUNITY STANDS AT A POINT IN HISTORY WHERE IT NEEDS ALL THE HELP IT CAN GET #HALLENGED FROM NEAR ENOUGH EVERY ANGLE IT FACES BE IT POLITICAL RELIGIOUS

MEDICAL AND NOW CULTURAL THERE S A WONDER THERE S A MEDI COMMUNITY LEFT AT ALL )N AN OPTIMISTIC WORLD WE D LIKE TO THINK THAT A SMALL FRACTION OF THE PROFITS THE MEDI CANNABIS COMMUNITY CURRENTLY GENERATES WITHIN THE CANNABIS INDUSTRY ONE WAY OR ANOTHER MIGHT BE IN PART DONATED BACK TO THE MEDI COMMUNITY THIS #HRISTMAS !S A GOOD DEED !FTER ALL IT S HARD ENOUGH BEING ILL

SICK SOCIALLY EXCLUDED AS IT IS
