Why i want to grow and continue to learn as much as I can about this beautiful flower is because I never knew what it could really do for me until the law changed and I starting but for many years I’ve struggled and still struggle with depression and mental health I never really knew how bad it could effect my happiness but when gets to point u don’t want to get up out of bed I finally realized it didn’t have to be like that bc growing has gave me a passion and maybe even reasons why I’m still around but that’s a long story lol. But i know what this medicine can do and want people to be able to have there medicine and if someone sees how it helps me and maybe helps them along the way that’s all I could ask for I’m new to all this being open about my depression and stuff so I apologize if it sounds dumb or what not but all I want is to pay it forward and my blessings come from that but thank you for asking and again sorry if it just sounds like I’m blabbing on thanks for taking time to ask

I think that’s brilliant….

My wife uses it for medicine and once I retired I started growing it for her and I also started using it because I could. I did not partake for 30 years before that because of my job. Anyways you will fit in just fine around here…:+1:t3:

If you give a brief description of how you’re growing and what you’re using there’s plenty of people that can’t help you get going in the right direction.

my advice would be do not sell do not let any one know that you grow. even people you trust tell no one. it will come back and bite you in the ass .

I go by an alias because a name and having any amount of cannabis in anyform is more then enough for any crooked cop and any lieing informant to get a warrant and charge you with trafficking. They could have all the information wrong on the warrant but you’ll still likely end up in a multiple year long trial if your lucky and don’t have to do time. Even if your completely legal and don’t sell or share this can happen. And then there’s there asset forfeiture

Hey I’m from Letcher County Kentucky. Bout 30 minutes outside Norton. Your bud looks good. And I agree growing gives such a sense of accomplishment. I am happy Virginia went legal. It’s a commonwealth state like Ky. So it gives us hope.

Thank you for the compliments really it makes me feel awesome yea its nuts how it’s giving me hope that maybe I can do something and not let things beat me down if makes any sense I hope KY goes legal for you as well it’s not right or fair everyone should have the ability if they so choose to have there medicine I know what its like to wonder how I’m going have my medicine and hopeful if I could I’d make sure nobody felt that way again sry if I’m blabbing on lol

I grow because ive been in many horrific vehicle and motorcyle crashes. I need it for the pain relief and my mental health because of my brain injuries. But its to expensive for me to buy here where i live. Were not legal here but its my medicine i NEED IT! Here its better to be an opiod addict than it is to be minding your own business trying to get some pain relief from a natural grown plant!. How dare you peacefully grow a plant! But i can get a legal prescription for hardcore opioids?? Wtf? Yep i can legally become a junkie? Wtf? I try and help people with problems. I have legal cannabis clients that have Multiple sclerosis and need my meds for themselves.


My last bike before.

Im Fubar and almost died. I came out shattered and broken but alive. I NEED MY MEDICINE!

So I’m finally able to get me a good setup but I want the best I can get for my girls so they ain’t so cramped up in the closet but I’d like to have a good tent setup for 3 or 4 plants I’d say mostly be autos ran in it or maybe can do 2 auto one photo I can veg one plant in the closet actually I’d like to be able to pop a seed every 30 days to have a steady stream of medicine all year around and I’m used not to talking so I’m opening up on here I’m sry if don’t make sense but I haven’t been this way in many years and I’m not going miss this chanch this time too many people need there medicine and I owe it to people to help them but back to my question what would everyone recommend for a tent setup for 3 to 4 plants thanks in advance

Whobe you need to clone. A seed takes 45 days to be big enough to produce buds of good size. A clone can be rooted in 7-14 days. And thats how i do my grows. I clone a week before i flip the plants to 12/12. Then i get a baby mother plant. I can clone the baby mother or just grow her bigger and flip again and have more of the same bud. Cloning is awesome. But you cant clone autos.
