These are all documented truths about Cannabis. I have read many of these things before. The world is a disaster because of billionaires. Mark my words Monsanto will be patenting Cannabis in the future.
Its a sad ignorant world for the most part. The AMA hides behind that BS about not knowing Hemp was Cannabis or not knowing Marihuana was Cannabis. Its been used since the dawn of human existence for all sorts of ailments.

I think it's time an intelligent and informed public stop the madness. In the overall scheme of things, on a planetary basis, this one plant is worth the united uplifting of our collective will. I believe that one of the bigger mistakes we humans made was the decision that each individual household was responsible for keeping their own residents alive. This disassociation from community responsibility allowed those with money and power and a sad lacking of morals and ethics to splinter us and force society structures that reward corporate greed at the expense of everything else that is necessary for a well-run open society.
Breaking this pattern is incredibly difficult when the people elected into office are owned by the very corporate entities we seek to loosen ourselves from. Difficult, but not impossible. We're also up against the fact that in the wake of 911 we allowed the police to militarize in a way that is unprecedented, at least in our country, and now they have access to weapons and controls that up the intimidation factor to terrifying levels.
So we've created a challenging playing field and the powers that be appear to have the upper hand. I think Ghandi and Martin Luther King demonstrated quite effectively the power of the collective social voice. As more and more laws fall there should come a tipping point. I dream of a wave of cannabis freedom that sweeps the globe and a time when we can begin to freely explore the valuable applications of hemp using our current technologies. When I read that and thought of the plastic particles that now float on our oceans and get eaten by fishes that find their way into our bodies! Plastics that never needed to be invented because they already had been invented in a biodegradable form! God, that just pissed me off.
State by state. Country by country. In time, change will come. History will look back on this as a time of social madness, when money trumped social justice and human rights. I was watching Bob Marley on Dennise's Virtual Couch yesterday thinking how disconcerting it was that we could have advanced so far technologically and regressed so far socially. We must never let up. The states that have freedom must hold that freedom tightly and work arm-in-arm with neighboring states to advance the call. As one country gains hemp freedom it must lend a hand to neighboring countries. We can't let a handful of billionaires maintain this destructive stranglehold. Change will come. The collective voice is too strong.
I get a little passionate about it. Hemp freedom has the ability to force the social change on a planetary basis that will allow the necessary acknowledgement that by simply being born one is entitled to a basic standard of living that offers safety and security, regardless of your ability to "earn" it through someone else's determination of "productive employment". So let's never give up the fight.

Daily Update: Waiting on Germination - Day Three
Now that I've had my morning hemp rant, back to the waiting game.
Still waiting (I always hear the Talking Heads when I say that
).
No matter how closely I look, no movement yet. I always send a bit of love to the seeds when I get this close and spend a couple minutes telling them how strong and vibrant their lives will be. They can take all the time they need. I can wait.
I was so out of it yesterday that I didn't note the gentle watering with coconut water over the planting sites and the two cups each reservoir took to top off. Today it was a light spritz with treated water (2 drops of molasses to a gallon of tap water to neutralize the chloramines) and an additional 2 cups of water to top off those reservoirs.
I was looking at the wild mustard that wants to take over the black pot yesterday and thinned some out. In doing so I pulled one of the larger ones out by the roots and was surprised to find how deep the roots go. From now on I will allow them to stay and will continue to trim and drop to replenish the pot with all the nutrients they are very likely pulling up from the depths. I have a renewed respect for wild mustard. I bet it would be tasty. I'll have to try a leaf. I was also impressed with how easy it was to pull out such a deeply rooted plant. A sign of good healthy soil structure. It reminded me of watching my grandma pull carrots out of her lovely organic raised beds. Made me smile at the memory of my grandma. She'd be proud of me.
Off to the nursing home. He's desperate for me today. Nearly in tears on the phone. It breaks my heart. They took his stitches out on Monday so today we should be able to get him in the shower for the first time in a month. Hallelujah.
I am still a bit weak but well on the way to full health again. I will do my best to stay rested today. I'm hanging a "Do Not Disturb" sign on the door and crawling into bed with him so he can feel safe for a while. Just to wrap myself around him and hold tight. There's no accommodations for cuddling in nursing homes. This is wrong. I must change that, if only for him, if only today. I need to make more effort to be in physical contact. It's so easy to become isolated by that hospital bed. Touch is a huge part of healing and now everyone who touches you in a medical facility must have on gloves. Are we not paying attention to the need for human touch? Another rant for another day. Today I'll do what I can.
Get out there and spread some joy today. I insist on it.

Re: Sweetsue's Tiny Closet - Second Grow - Sweet Dark Devil & Bomb Berry Bomb - CFL -
Now those are some dangerously radical and antisocietal notions you harbour.
How can you possibly believe that a world governed by the general populace having to take social responsibility within a community toward improvement of life for all, could possibly be better than being told what to do by those driven by Mammon?
As for human closeness, warmth, touch, cuddling, etc; how unhygienic and inefficient (read unprofitable) is that?
My wife just read your last two posts over my shoulder and commented that you sound just like me when I get worked up about these same issues
Go cuddle,
at your discretion of course; give my best wishes for a prompt recovery to Dale.
Thinking good thoughts for the both of you

I bet you see a little life tonight, if not for sure by morning!!
Have my eyes wide open in anticipation.
Quick questuon Sue, at what point do you switch you light cycle to 12/12 for your autos? I'm still runnin 18/6 and my one girl is throwing pistels everywhere. Should I do it now. Or wait a couple days/weeks?
Lots of love,

Hey Birdman. Keep in mind I'm new at this too and I 'm working mostly off instinct, but I'd start cutting back in 1/2 hr increments every week from now. DrZiggy has convinced me to try 11/13 from seed next time. Maybe you might want to try too Pigeons, on some future grow.

Re: Sweetsue's Tiny Closet - Second Grow - Sweet Dark Devil & Bomb Berry Bomb - CFL -
You've got at least one successful auto grow/harvest under your belt. And a great on at that! So, your the first person I think of in terms of autos. Perhaps the Auto Queen? Too early? Ok well in my mind no one will take that from me
11 hour light 13 hours dark? That would be interesting. I'm hesitant to switch just yet to anything because she shares the room with my reVeg and she's not ready for a light change. I think I might just keep her on 18/6 for a bit longer and see what happens.
Do I even have to switch it to 12/12 you think? If she's already auto flowering under 18/6, maybe just let her do her thing? Or is that to much stress? Or maybe I just leave it and document the changes, if any.
Wow that went all over the place.

Re: Sweetsue's Tiny Closet - Second Grow - Sweet Dark Devil & Bomb Berry Bomb - CFL -
Hahaha! I know how it goes Pigeons. My autos showed obvious stress at the lights around week 4-5. After thinking about it for a while and finding absolutely nothing to support my suspicions I decided it was what I thought and began gradually cutting back. Good gardening is a lot like good cooking, and I have 48 years experience there, so I went with my instincts to make the change gradual, the first increment drop in the morning, the second drop in the evening, and then continued alternating like that until I thought they were happy. I should have kept going at that point, and this one I will for sure, as well as take it into 11/13. At 14/10 they breathed a noticeable sigh of relief and blossomed into the beauties that stunned us all.
So I would recommend it. If you're still hesitant, wait until they show signs of distress. Mine were drooping after 14 hours of an 18 hour lights on. It defies conventional wisdom that is geared to volume. I'm more concerned with dense, highly frosted bud sites. Quality over quantity every time Pigeons. The plants appreciated it. I could feel it.

Re: Sweetsue's Tiny Closet - Second Grow - Sweet Dark Devil & Bomb Berry Bomb - CFL -
Precisely why I asked, that sums it up perfectly.
I also increased her exposure to the HPS gradually (fried enough plants in my day to understand that problem). She isn't showing signs of any stress yet. And I appreciate the saying "if it ain't broke don't fix it". So I'm going to hold off for a little bit. But I'm going to keep a close eye on her to see when it's time to switch the lights.
As for quality of quantity, I have no choice. If I really want to be sucessful at growing my own medication I need quality herb. I'm passed the day of getting high on bunk weed. It simply doesn't happen. I've, as I'm sure most of us can relate, built quite the tolerance to most low end herbs. And I requre high THC and VERY HIGH CBD to get any kind of stimulation, if you will. So here's to top notch quality medication!!

THIS is what we're all focused on. Quality over quantity, quantity as can be reasonably achieved without any sacrifice in quality, and making the growing process as easy and organic as possible. I am continually impressed with the creative energy of this site. We're revolutionizing the growing process.

Well, not to hijack the thread or anything, just really happy. This is my first seed in soil and it's going good, I'm one week into flower. I'm not looking for high yield or super potent, just seeing if I have the ability to do it.
Not a LOS grow, just getting my feet wet. Thanks Sue for showing that a closet grow can be successful.
