Hey folks - thanks for the warm welcome!
I've been anonymously cruising the 420forums for years and been a member for a couple of months now, during which time I've read all of Sweet Sue's first 2 journals and the cannabis oil threads, heaps of the HB journals, including a lot of the Q&A, and many other random journals that looked good to me - meaning organic with good discussions and great photos!
And congratulations CannaM on leaving cigarettes/tobacco behind you.I did it about 2005 and haven't looked back. I preferred to think it as not so much giving up or quitting, but rather I took up breathing oxygen. I didn't want to feel like there was a 'lack' of anything when life without tobacco actually gave me so much (time, energy, health, money, better skin etc). So kudos - keep it up... hey, keep it green, as they say here
Indeed, my relationship to weed got better too once tobacco was out of the picture - I became much more connected to the taste and smell as well as the effect, once the weed was pure (I grew up in a culture that mixed weed w tobacco all the time, so glad I left that behind!)
Someone very close to me has just come through a lung cancer surgery. She was a super heavy tobacco smoker until we both stopped together. The cancer found recently was found early, was small and contained and removed cleanly - she has a clear bill of health and no chemo requiredThis, we feel, is testament to the fact that it's never to late to stop.
If I could buy the DBHB kit here I probably would (budget allowing) but I sense having it sent across the pacific would not be an option. I'm going to try DB's advice about osmocote+ in some store bought organic soil mix in a GeoPot and see how I go inside. Planning some outdoor grows for the summer coming up.
Looking forward to following your growing adventures
Hi Amy,
I send kits across oceans and the equator regularly. The problem isn't getting a kit....the problem is sourcing the soil.
Pendstrup has a product that closely matches Promix and it is available in Europe and South America. If you want high brix, you can get it....but you'll have to be very careful to find a good soil.
