hmmm... 4blbs/4x8 is doable, but conditions have to be just right, and those plants have to be pretty tall: say, 4x8x6, maybe.

yeah, or scrog & u'll need to plant early.... u have a long season there so u'll need to utilize it. i'd go w/solexx & put the long sides east & west. just keep it vented. jorge cervantes grew a single PE in an air pot, indoors, w/a 400watt hps, using nothing but dyna-gro &water, & got 15oz + hash. (scrog) so, it is doable.

Been hella busy. Was delighted by my leave the blue dream some nugs experiment. The plants have lost all the leaves, the last nugs , 2 grams dry, is very stoney, dried perfectly in 3 days, no heat, buds were almost dry when picked. I have noticed that Indica dom varieties have large seeds and sativa doms have tiny seeds. The tiny seeds are a bitch to find and I have burnt a few, no poppers yet. I do have some strange looking Indica dom seeds, flatish on one side and what is considered normal on the other.
I recently tried Bangh , 1st time, its my new fave drink.

was so high i spelled it wrong . From wiki, Bhang has been used as an intoxicant for centuries in the sub-continent . Bhang in India is distributed as a religious offering during Shiva festivals like "Mahashivratri". It has now become synonymous with the Holi festival, to the point where consuming bhang at that time is a standard practice. It is also available as Bhang golis (balls) which is just freshly ground cannabis with water. Apart from this, sweetened bhang golis are also widely available. These are not considered a drug, but a traditional sleeping aid and appetizer. Bhang is also part of many ayurvedic medicinal preparations, e.g. bhang powder is available at ayurvedic dispensaries.
Bhang Ki Thandai also known as Sardai is a drink popular in many parts of sub-continent which is made by mixing bhang with thandai, a cold beverage prepared with almonds, spices (mainly black pepper), milk and sugar.
History
Bhang was first used as part of the Hindu rite in India around 1000 BC[citation needed] and soon became an integral part of Hindu culture. The herb was devoted to Lord Shiva on Shivratri, a Hindu festival.
Sadhus and Sufis use Bhang to boost meditation and to achieve transcendental states. Bhang or cannabis is also used amongst Sufis as an aid to spiritual ecstasy.
The Nihang sect of the Sikh community are one of the consumers of bhang as a pain relaxer from battle wounds. Though its strictly prohbited to consumes for pleasure in Sikhism and is followed very loyally . It started as an ayurvedic medicine whose main use for the Nihangs was to aid in reducing pain from battle wounds, and digestive assistant called Sukhnidhan [2]
The historian Richard Davenport-Hines lists Thomas Bowrey as the first Westener to document the use of bhang.[3]
Preparation
Anywhere on the ghats, one can find large number of men engaged in the process of preparing bhang. Using mortar and pestle, the buds and leaves of cannabis are ground into a green paste. To this mixture milk, ghee and spices are added. The bhang base is now ready to be made into a heavy drink, thandai, an alternative to alcohol; this is often referred to casually, if inaccurately, as a "bhang Thandai" also "Bhang LASSI" (made of Curd ). Bhang is also mixed with ghee and sugar to make a green halva, and into peppery, chewy little balls called 'golee' (which in this context means candy or pill in Hindi).
Culture
Bhang has become an integral part of tradition and custom in the Indian subcontinent. It has become symbolic for many things as it is associated with Lord Shiva.
In some sections of rural India, people believe in the medicinal properties of the cannabis plant. If taken in proper quantity, bhang is believed to cure fever, dysentery and sunstroke, to clear phlegm, aide digestion, appetite, cure speech imperfections and lisping, and give alertness to the body.[4] Bhang lassi is a preparation of powdered green inflorescence with curd and whey put in a village blender (a hand blending operation is carried out till the butter rises). It is regarded as tasty and greatly refreshing, with one or two large glasses having little effect. Bhang goli, on the other hand, hits after approximately two hours, sending one into a dreamlike state.
The tradition of consuming bhang during Holi is particularly common in North India where Holi itself is celebrated with a fervor unseen elsewhere. Bhang is heavily consumed in Mathura, an ancient town of religious importance to the Hindus. Here the practice is believed to have been introduced by the followers of Lord Krishna and has stayed ever since. They begin the preparation by Sanskrit chants and recitation of prayers to Lord Shiva. Some people from Mathura take Bhang to work up their appetite while others do it to relieve themselves of stress. But the hub of bhang use is Varanasi or Banaras, the Land of Shiva, where the bhang is prepared on its famous ghats.

The herbal remedy of the ages handles my depression in a delicate manner , and gets me eating, dreaming and talking. She also handles a great deal of pain and spasms , putting me in play and off the bench.

While perusing my favorite website 
, Butterfly Catcher brought me a gift. A medium sized butterfly, still living. She walks in to my room, purrrrs into a triumphant meow. puts down the butterfly and looks at me, then at the butterfly. She seemed very pleased with her catch. I picked it up and moved it outside, she followed, then continued her attacks on the butterfly. She is a ninja cat, her offspring are too.
My sprouts are looking good, the majority of them are standing up. Most already have the first set of serrated leaves, tiny one blade leaf . So far 15 of 24 seeds have broke the surface. I had to help the seedlings a bit by removing the last of the hull membrane. I have practiced a method of seed germination for years that I am just now perfecting. Most of my viable seeds sprout and grow all by themselves, but sometimes they need help to fully open. After wetting, it I hold the seedling gently with my fingers , which i use a slight downward force to keep it from up rooting.my other Hand I use one finger, wet with water and gently and slowly ,rub the seed hull membrane away from the stem and towards the leaf edge. If it's stubborn i put a drop of water on it and come back in 15 minutes and try again. i use a tooth pick to remove the hull after it is freed from the sprout and rarely use it to work on the membrane, I don't want to cut the seedling, just give it a hand.
