on growing marijuana

I was never so glad as the day I quit drinking. Almost 20 years now. Alcohol is poison and destructive to the body. Worse, it lines the pockets of the rack renters. Come on Ireland. Awaken. The world fears that. Believe it. Marijuana is one of the most powerful expectorants known. It is a pain reliever, a euphoric, an appetite enhancer, and enhancer of certain other states of thinking and cognition familiar to its users, and very useful. Let us have some real Irish Green.



Basically marijuana is distinguished from hemp by its much higher resin content, and its comparatively stunted growth. The marijuana resin is what contains the substance psychoactive to humans and canines and felines and bovines and a lot of other life here. Say: we love you tetrahydrocannabinol! And check me on the spelling, 'k?

Marijuana resin is produced by the marijuana plant for the following reasons (At least): UV screen (Screens some ultraviolet light and other harmful rays), deters pests and predators, aids in reproduction/pollination, seals moisture, Protects the plant from freezing. This means manipulation of the above will increase or decrease resin content. Mountainous terrains usually grow excellent marijuana because the plant has to produce more resin constantly to screen increased UV which is the result of increased altitude ie decreased atmosphere. Usually very dry too.

Only females really create resin during flowering, and the males should be removed as soon as they are detectable. They have pollen balls, and they are unmistakable. Sinsemilla means Seedless Flower in spanish, and thats exactly what you're after, get the males out asap. Collect some pollen before eradicating the males, to play with in your strains later, it can be frozen, but dont let the stuff get into the air. I never catch much of a buzz off the males, but will smoke them anyway or mix them with female shake.

Marijuana prefers a nearly neutral (7.0) soil composed in equal parts of sand, gravel, loam (Heavy on this), and vermiculite (Lighter on this), and a tropical climate, although it is known to thrive in extremes. The legendary Thunderfuck marijuana of Alaska is not harvested until nearly frozen, and is so purple with resin it is black when cured. M-MMmmmmmmmmm good. Will make you swear off hangovers forever! Some reports are that Marijuana, being a resinous plant, grows well around other resinous plants, like evergreens.

Marijuana likes as much sunlight as possible, but can grow on as little as 5 hours unobstructed per day. Under lights (halides/florescents/others) weed (Cannabis sativa) can go 24-7 unless they start to flower early then they come down to 18 and stay until you want them to flower. Dropping a marijuana plants daytime to 12 hours or below will most of the time trigger flowering. Not too low on daylight though, or they will grow much too slowly. Harvest right as the buds quit growing, you will know. Manicure, air cure, and put in jars.

High Mom!

Read the book Contact by Carl Sagan, there is a chapter in there about the one delta isomer that is very valuable to the guerilla grower. Pulsing various light types, and temperature extremes during flowering are 2 areas of guerilla growing as yet fully unexploited. There is a lot more to do. Indoors like warehouses and caves takes big security and most people get busted because of the excess electricity they use. Get your people into government. It is for the REAL good of the country, not what GB says is good. Try to use the sun if possible. Or both. There are some novel fibre optix available today, think along those lines too.

There is a lot online that will instruct, and books galore available from high times et al. A good light and moisture meter is nice, fertilize with peters 20-20-20 or better yet sparingly with bat guano mix. Add some small iron nails to your soil mix, because zinc and some other hard to get stuff from the nails as they rust will be good for the plant. Experiment but don't overdo it. Little at a time.

I will visit here from time to time, so comment if you like, flames will be used to light my pipe though...heheheheh....b
