I have a friend that is a medical patient, I'm also a patient/caregiver. I would love to upgrade my plant count, and I'm currently a caregiver to my aforementioned friend, but he refuses to give me rights to his plants. He has this idea that he's going to be able to grow monsters, because he see's what I've done, and to him I make it look easy. So he keeps piddling away, and I can tell already that his plants will net him about an ounce (if that).
He has no income to invest in lighting, equipment, and the various things a person needs to legitimately call themselves a botanist. I've tried to help him work with what he has, and he does listen to my advice, but it does take a bit of green, to be able to have a green harvest.
The most recent encounter, was him telling me that he has a couple weeks to harvest. In reality his plants just started budding, he's growing sativa's and he has (at least) a couple months left, I told him that, and he was devastated. Still he doesn't want to give up his plant count. I know he's borderline poverty, has serious medical conditions, and I'm more than happy to supply him with "free" personal until he can get another surgery, and get back on his feet again, but I can't help someone that won't let me.
Again, why are newbies so stubborn, and what can I do to help him get a decent personal supply on a regular basis. He has 2 4 ft t-8 fluoro's and 2 150 hps from Sunlight supply. I also gave him an old Hi beam 400 watt MH I had laying around (he still doesn't have it setup, because he couldn't afford a bulb). This is someone I care about, and I'm just trying to put him in the right direction, but I've run out of ideas to help him get the most of his setup, I'm thinking one DWC bucket, SCROG'ed, might be as good as it will get from his limited lighting options. Anyone out there have any ideas?
