Who is this? What is this about?

Hydroponic cannabis is the best cannabis.

My three hydro ghetto-girls were doing excellent - the big white hairs were starting to appear every node - two were over 6' sativa, and I had a tiny 3' indica. My setup used wide-spectrum florescent lights and one incandescent bulb for the yellows and a fan, that's it. I killed them when I was forced to move for fear of someone seeing or smelling them - each plant could be producing approximately 4 ounces at minimum - these girls were huge though, I'd guess 9 ounces each quite easily. If I could have kept one it could have yielded a minimum of $1500 and helped me find a good place. Their actual purpose was to make 1 lb for Rick Simpson oil, but I'm too terrified to be on any medical marijuana list.

The Canadian government is incarcerating medical marijuana patients in Nova Scotia for distributing the medical oil to other patients. They just tried to pass a law to disallow social security recipients medical marijuana - the public despised this, yet it was magically brought to vote. It's only a matter of time until that "insurance"-driven, immoral agenda is brought here too, imo.

It is sad that you have to live in fear because you are growing your own medicine and trying to take care of yourself instead of relying on Big Pharma.
I can grow up to 99 plants here in Humboldt County as long as I follow the rules.
The biggest problem I see with hydroponics is that it is very energy intensive.
I am happy Dylan was able to follow his dream.

I am so jealous. After vegging with lights on all of the time it took me a long while to get their flowering light/water/CO2 absorption rhythm, and noticed larger growth bursts after returning from ignoring a watering. The sativa I grew seem to be conditionally arid/tropical until flowering, which must be performed like clockwork, in my brief experience. The tiny indica was even more delicate to nutrients.

**** Hydroponics is old fashioned...the new kid is Aquaponics!

I had to germinate from my collection of mystery seeds, so I just kept them in their gigantic initial containers and watered twice a day by hand throughout their lives. These girls got huge quickly, so my early bubbleponics experiments are not a good enough design for such large plants. These were the first that I allowed beyond germination - a very thirsty plant with easy-to-read nutrition indicators, so easy to grow - if I had the space!

Its amazing the high fuel cost of operating a Greenhouse through winter. I helped one locally save about $2K/month from a $5K/month gas bill.
