Hello again, I will spend a few moments and see if I can answer some questions, in particular though I will address Mr. Brick Top. It apprears from your message you are a man of superior intelligence and possess an impressive vocabulary. By simple observation it appears your glasses are in working order so, I must admit I sat with my vaporizor and pondered (I love pondering) why it is your comprehension does not seem to match your intelect?
I will make the assumption you read the whole of the text and must certainly assertained that the vast majority of my work has been done at no charge. I am under the impression however that after studying this herb for nearly half a century it would somehow be going against protocol if I were to attempt to feed my family with the wisdom gained. Always one of two things, you're a "big shot" if you have gained more knowledge than the grower next to you, or, "You make a living from that knowledge." Quite alright for Mr Rosenthal to sell a book, but not me.
I do in fact charge for my consulting work, $10,000 retainer plus $250.00 an hour for commercial growers and anywhere from $0 to $5,000 for private cultivator's depending on their financial situation. The moral to that little story is "pay attention to what you're doing kids because it pays very well." That was meant in a lighthearted fashion just in case you don't know that the Professor is a bit of a smart ass that always has a smile. Hell, why wouldn't I seeing how I have a waiting list of commercial growers
The pondering, emmmmm, I was trying to figure out just how much cannabis I have grown, and donated, over these last 43 years. In the end a gross weight eluded me but I can say it has been a shitload, trucks and trucks, and at least one plane
I will be selling a dvd, and it will be expensive. A few tips and thoughts I have on growing though, always ask why you're growing because strain plays an enormous roll in the size of yield. Are you a cash cropper? if so grow Indica's, bigger yield and shorter flowering, a good combo if you ask me. Vegging is a waste of time, how many Metal Halides do I have in all my grow facilities? None. Follow along Brick Top, Where does the vast majority of your yield come from? Answer: the top third of the plant. So why grow the bottom two thirds? Ponder that. Three things that directly effect yield 1. Strain 2. Amount of light (never to much) 3. Size of root ball.
To seperate yourself from other growers remember this, GIVE THE PLANT WHAT IT WANTS, IN THE AMOUNT IT WANTS, WHEN IT WANTS IT. Don't be cheap, do it right or don't do it at all, keep your mouth shut, KISS, and toss back a bone to those less forunate it will pay off in spades.
Website is down due to our hosting company being idiots. Should be up in a day or two, and I try and answer all direct questions, not global ones Brick when time allows. FREE
