Forget 90% of the crap you read here about growing as a newer grower. It's not a weed. But its needs are few. It survived many millenia without help from man and continues to thrive despite him.
Buy a light, SOIL (like you know dirt, not Pro Mix), some nutrients you will hide for the first few weeks and some seeds.
No need for pH crap with dirt.
Baked Beans Seeds has an excellent proprietary NorCal High CBD Critical Mass that's got good genetics.
Also suggest Medicine Man by Mr. Nice.

Yeah its crazy, but there are several suits filed in court right now. I think its gonna be a struggle but hopefully the courts will see that the will of the people is legally binding after a vote.

It is a big step in the right direction for OK patients. I'm not sure if you've been to a legal state and a dispensary but if you haven't then you really should. Being able to grow your own meds is a great thing but being able to have a store to go to and find the best medicine for you. Theres a lot of time and effort put into finding the right medicine if you have to grow everything.
With that said, growing is something that is super fulfilling for me. And I'm sure you will love it too. I love it as much as I like the product!

Plant one plant a month. No more. The first vegged 1 month and then into the tent. After the 4th month you'll be chopping one a month and not be over your flowering plant limit. Perpetual harvests once rolling .
I lived in Seattle for a few years around 2003. My friend had liver cancer and i watched it eat him to the bone. I'm from a small farm in Oklahoma so I have never heard of such a thing as medical marijuana at that time. No one told me about it when I was watching my fat friend shrink down to skin and bones. Weed was everywhere and I had seen the red cross symbols on a few stores, except they were green and not red. So to shorten this long boring story, he died so I moved back to OK and met a guy at a horse ranch. He said his sister grows medical marijuana for the state of Colorado and I was like WTF tell me more! So I started researching it and then I found Oklahoman's for Health and signed the petition and talked to my friends and family and anyone who would listen about the benefits of an amazing plant. Sorry to ramble on but, no I have never been to a dispensary, I am counting the days lol.
I only have room for four lights if I do a 3x3 scrog. But I was planning on working up to that. What are your thoughts on autoflower? I prefer sativa but i suffer from insomnia so i need to grow at least one indica.

Check Dutch Passion for autoflowers. Consider ones with Mazar.
A few years ago they could give you a felony for a roach. If you were caught growing it was Two to Life.
Do they ship to the U.S.A. ?

They're a breeder. Check Herbies or Attitude. They'll ship here.

I'm sorry you had to see that with your friend. Colorado isn't too far from OK, I would suggest going over there and learn/see how they do things. You will love it. Talk to the bud tenders they normally have a lot of info.
I do not suggest bringing any across state lines though.
Cannabis is not a miracle drug but it has and will do wonderful things.
I provided my father in law who was dying with RSO (rick Simpson oil) and his tumors stopped growing and even shrank a little, he went from not being able to walk a city block to walking over 5 before taking a break. That was 7-8 yrs ago... and he's still here kicking.

The former top lawyer at the Oklahoma Health Department was accused Tuesday in a criminal charge of sending threatening emails to herself in an attention-seeking ploy.
Julie Ezell, 37, of Edmond, resigned as general counsel Friday, shortly after confessing, according to an investigator's affidavit.
" I am so sorry," she wrote in the resignation email to Tom Bates, interim commissioner of the Health Department.
She posed in the emails as a medical marijuana advocate who threatened retribution if the Health Department imposed restrictive rules on its use. "We would hate to hurt a pretty lady. You will hear us," one email said.
Ezell is charged in Oklahoma County District Court with two felonies and a misdemeanor.
Her attorney called her a loyal and dedicated public servant who has worked her entire career as a lawyer.
"These charges do not reflect who she is as a person, nor do they reflect the type of advocate she has been for the people of the State of Oklahoma," defense attorney Ed Blau said. "These allegations will be answered, and additional relevant information will be provided by us at the appropriate time."
She confessed after the Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation analyzed her cellphone and determined it was used to create the fake email account, MaryJame@protonmail.com, according to the affidavit.
ProtonMail is an encrypted email service started in 2014.
"Ezell confessed to making the MaryJame@protonmail.com email account and sending the threats to her government email," an OSBI special agent wrote in the affidavit.
"She acted alone and nobody else knew she was composing the emails and sending them to herself," the agent wrote. "She forwarded the threats to commissioned law enforcement officers with the Oklahoma Department of Health and continued to falsely report events to OSBI agents during the course of the investigation."
In a news release Tuesday, the OSBI said, "Some emails implied physical harm to Ezell while others indicated the sender knew personal things about Ezell."
She sent the first email -- titled "marijuana laws" -- around 2:15 a.m. July 8, two days before the Board of Health met to consider the new rules on medical marijuana, the investigation found.
That email stated "they could show up in force to stop it if the government thought they could take rights away and erase the laws," the OSBI agent reported.
Using incorrect grammar, that email also stated, "We will stop YOU and you're greed. Any way it takes to end your evil and protect what is ours. We will watch you."
After receiving that email, she then sent a text from her cellphone at 2:24 a.m. July 8, according to the OSBI. Starting with an expletive, she wrote: "text me when you are up. I just got a pretty threatening email about medical marijuana."
After sending herself a second threatening email July 8, she texted: "another one."
Investigators have not disclosed who received her texts.
She sent a third fake email July 10 before the state Board of Health met on the medical marijuana rules. It stated, "you won't be able to ignore us today. Check yourself," according to the OSBI.
She sent a fourth fake email July 10 shortly after the board met. It contained her home address and descriptions of vehicles she drove. She sent a fifth email that night that stated: "You impose laws like a dictator and respect none of them."
She also sent fake emails July 11 and 12.
She faces one felony count accusing her of a computer crime for creating the fictitious email account. She faces a second felony count accusing her of preparing false evidence.
She faces a misdemeanor count of falsely reporting a crime.
She turned herself in at the Oklahoma County jail on Tuesday night.
She has been an attorney for almost 12 years, mostly in state government. She also has worked for the Oklahoma Tax Commission, Commissioners of the Land Office, the Oklahoma Attorney General's Office and the Oklahoma Teachers Retirement System.
Her resignation throws the state Health Department into more legal uncertainty after massive shake-ups at the highest levels of the agency in the past year. She was hired last November in the wake of a finance scandal that toppled the agency's senior leadership.
Then-interim Health Commissioner Preston Doerflinger said her hiring would help lead the department into its next phase.
Voters approved medical marijuana in June and the Health Department is the agency that will regulate its use.
Most of the medical marijuana rules were written by Health Department staff, including Ezell. At the last minute, however, board members adopted amendments that proved controversial.
Board members narrowly voted to ban smokable forms of marijuana and also some edibles that could be confused as candy. They also said retail dispensaries would have to hire a pharmacist at each location.
Ezell warned against adopting those amendments, saying that doing so might be exceeding the board's authority to regulate the industry. Instead of taking her advice, the board adopted the amendments and sent the rules package on to Gov. Mary Fallin, for her approval.
So far, two lawsuits have been filed challenging the new rules.
