Shade Leaf consumption ~ Tinctures, Oils & Edibles
One thing you start to accumulate as you go on with your grow is “shade leaf”. This is the non-bud fan leaf that you trim off as time goes by as the plant matures. Also known as duffage, trim, shake depending on the neighborhood you grew up in. It may not make the best smoke,…

Deep Dive-seeds bought from ILGM.com
ILGM is short for I Love Growing Marijuana . Their shining deals are on the “buy 10-get 10 free” promotions. The thing there is you end up with 20 seeds all of the same strain. I know folks that get tired of the “same old weed” everyday. I’d love it if they had “4 5’s…

Legal Nuance of Prop 207
The law was pretty well written but there is one bit of ambiguity in the stated amount that we are allowed to possess. Not everyone is going to grow and some will buy from dispensaries or may get a bag gifted from a friend. The law states that you can possess an ounce but it’s…

What I have done to make things easy for me was to build a raised bed dirt box and then build a 3-sided enclosure around it.

Sprouting your Marijuana seeds
I make good use of tupperware type small bowls. Take a clean paper towel folded 3 times so there are a few layers top & bottom. Wet the paper towel well with distilled/de-ionized water. I have a small RO unit for clean water needs. Place your seeds between the main folds and make sure that…
Your dirt matters when growing marijuana
Our soil here in southern Az is so poor & rock hard that i just do raised beds. The planter bed is made from 6 redwood fence boards 5.5″ wide and 6ft in length. They only cost a few bucks a piece at Lowe’s or Home depot. In the corners I have 1ft long 2×2…
