I decided to write everything down this year that way, less fuckups. If you follow this blog, you will learn how to grow okay without having to read a whole stack of Hts or a Jorge Cervantes book. I have read both and am happy to share my skills with you. i've been growing for about 10 years now, but because I always fuck something up (it's usually the timing of it, and I was trying to grow indoors for a while and Cali here can get hot, so) I never really made much cash.. this year we'll see
Rule #1 Never tell anyone that you are growing marijuana, ESPECIALLY IF THEY KNOW WHERE YOU LIVE. The exception to this is if you know them well and they are your "grow buddy"... this means that you share expenses and you trust each other. Another exception is that you might want to tell your next door neighbor IF IT IS A MEDICAL GROW. most people in medical states don't know it's legal to grow your own pot and you may find yourself answering the door to Federales (cops) one day if you don't pay your neighbor the courtesy of telling him that you are a medical patient and you grow your own medicine. then again, this could be ill advised if your neighbor parities a lot or knows someone who might come over and take your plants. it's up to you to make the call. Especially too, make sure your partner understands the next rule:
Rule #2 Don't count your chickens before their hatched (everything can go to shit in a day, plants get stolen, they die, they refuse to grow, etc. so even if you order 100 seeds or have an equal amount of clones, don't count on buying a Caldillac or a Harley until the money's in the mattress. Also lay down the law that once the plants start at your house, they don't move. You don't want your buddy getting all selfish one day and coming over thinking he's gonna walk out your front door with your plants. NO NO NO! Even if the plants are dying and he thinks he can save them (he can't) don't let him do this. Remember you did all the hard work, he probably just kicked down a little cash. Not only will he get your plants, he will attract unwanted attention from the neighbors. I had a partner try to bust my door down because he got it in his head that I was "hiding" plants from him.
Rule #3 Don't overwater. If you water your plants at least twice a week, you will be good. three times in late flowering, unless it is real hot or you are indoors.
Rule #4 Don't overfeed, especially in early veg. Feed your plants only when they reach about 3/4 of a foot tall, and start out slow. Remember, you can kill your plants this way very easily.
Rule #5: No nutes the last 2 weeks before harvest. When the trichomes look clear and the plant looks like an advertisement for attitude, start flushing. This means putting massive (5x the volume of the pot) amounts of water in each plant on a tri weekly basis. Do this every day the last week. Remember you've been putting stuff you wouldn't drink yourself in these buckets so you have to get it out now or your pot will taste like crap and no one will buy it.
Rule #6, last but not least, make sure that anyone you live with is cool with this and is a cool person to boot. This includes your grow buddy. People are funky creatures. They have a hard time keeping their mouths shut and sometimes they go crazy or get addicted to drugs. On the other hand, two heads are better than one and I have learned a great deal growing with other people. So weigh your options carefully. Especially if you live down south somewhere (read: red staters are not cool with marijuana and it tends to get you into more trouble in Alabama than, in say, Oregon)
These are some clones I took from last year's grow. L-R random Sativa (shitty plant'll probably go into the Hash machine..., DNA genetics Skunk x og Kush, Another Random Sativa that's doing a little better, a squat Chem Dawg, and a SSSDH.
