First off, I'm not going to advocate growing marijuana at your parent's house, but if you're willing to accept the risks than I'm not going to stop you. Don't jeopardize your education though, I'd rather be a wealthy man who buys his pot than a poor one who can barely finance growing his own...

Helping prove my point. The end of prohibition didn't help the economy, it helped the people suffering through it. World War II and the New Deal helped the economy.

you're fine, you only need to start worrying when you get up to 90.

First, I've ever said I was against legalization...never once. I've only said that I don't believe legalization of marijuana will help the economy. End of story there. Wrong. Legalization would allow you to grow your own marijuana legally. How many people do you know that grow tomatoes...

chances are they will yeah; people have reported seeds germinating many, many years after they were harvested.

yeah, you would need a LOT of CFLs to blow out a circuit. Its the more high end stuff like squirrel fans and 1000W HSPs that you need to start doing the math.

In order for that to hold true you would need to tell me that the majority of Americans want marijuana to be legal. Just because some people want it legalized doesn't mean a larger portion wants it to remain illegal. Also, how would it create jobs? The tobacco industry employs only roughly...

You will probably lose a sizable amount of leaves, but the plant can recover. Make sure to secure the area above and below the break. You have severely stressed the plant and yes, chances are you mind end up with a hermie.

Several billion I know, but that encompasses a lot. The number exclusively in regards to marijuana, probably a lot too. Last number I remember hearing was on average about twenty billion gets spent TOTAL every year. But that means everything, not just marijuana. Still, you can pinpoint...

I go 24/0 until my seedlings have entered the vegetative phase...then I drop it down to 18/6. As for my male:female ratio...it has always equaled out to 50%. I know a lot of people try tinkering with stuff to get more females than males, but I think most of the time its just a waste.

In addition to what the previous post suggested, I add plastic wrap on the top of my cups until my plant becomes a seedling. This keeps the soil from drying out.

yeah, avoid halogen lights. The main reason I would stay away from them is the amount of heat they produce. To get ample light, at the very least the equivalent of several CFLs, the heat produced from such a halogen light(s) would burn your plant.

You need to give them more light; both more time and more wattage.

no, inline fans don't produce that much heat.

With just one plant there really isn't much you can do. I've seen growers take all their males and turn the leaves into hash, but due to a male's low THC it takes a lot of male plants to even get something worth mentioning. With just one plant, and it being male, really nothing you can do.
