In case anyone dosent know already. I have been helping my wifes cousin who is a MMJ patient on disability get his own perpetual grow started. with some help from fellow RIU members (Acidjesus) we have been able to get him up and running pretty good.
he now has a functional veg and flower cab and is on his second week of flowering out a big buddah blue cheese. I also gave him a barneys farm blue mammoth autoflowering seedling fully ready to go, transplanted directly into a 3 gal fabric pot. as well as the auto i gave him a few other clones, a couple FCJ clones and some others i had extra of. were working on figuring out some space issues atm so we can get them all transplanted into bigger pots.
heres a few pics of his grow..things i think are coming along nicely. the blue cheese in flower isnt discolored at all thats just the way the light reflected when i took the pic.
First 2 pics are the veg room. second 2 are the blue cheese in flower. I have him working with LSTing a revegged FCJ clone that you can see in the second pic bottom right hand corner. I hope to get hm to a point where he can harvest enough to keep him from having to spend money from his caregiver. and we already have plans to take that money he saves and buy some more equipment to expand his grow so he can have his full amount of plants (6 in flower i believe and 12 in veg is the legal limit for a MMJ patient here)
allowing 6 plants in flower at a time im hoping to get him harvesting 3 every 4 weeks. i also want to get him setup so he can take his own clones sucessfully. but these things cost money neither of us have right now. he can buy a decent propogator for around 30 bucks and then will need some rooting gel, superthrive and clonex solution (or other comparible cloning solution)
i will pass down the method that is working for me right now and hopefully he can have a full y sef sustained grow operation to supply himself with cheaper meds and also possibly make a few bucks on the side...living on a fixed income and being disabled really sucks. no extra money and everything you do get is generally planned and spent already. so if i can get him to the point where he has a few extra bucks here and there to be able to spend on things he wants then i think i have improved his quality of life in more ways than 1..
