Hello from east coast Canada

Well have taken the giant leap and not only growing am in forum talking about it. LOL.
The wife and I are new to the growing community and are waiting for the complete of our first group Plants. Although I myself am a non smoker the wife has found the relief of her pain has been focus of out effort.
To those that argue that there are undesired side effects from the consumption of cannabis well I say walk in another person shoes before you judge. First off there are side effects to any drug you use to control pain but compared to the over drugs they prescribe the benefits out way the side effects. I have seen days when over at families she has had to use the medication the doctor has prescribed and the side effects have limited her. Compared to cannabis where she was able to do normal activities. I think anybody with a brain can see why.

Am fairly new to this so will describe our set up.
Room is an insulated 4 by 6 ft and 5 ft high. Have a 1000 watt Air cooled light that is vented out of the room which in turn used to heat an unheated basement. Near the floor have a controlled air intake and near the ceiling have a fan out take that is vented to the out doors. Have gone with drip hydroponics system were the reservoir is outside the room and about a Ft lower the plants. Started with 4 clones but in the learning stages lost two of them. Found the best investment we ever made was a PPM meter and made the whole difference.
Our water here is very heavy and had a reading of 400 PPM. After you added the food was to much for the little buggers and burned them out. In to week 4 now and been two weeks since got the control we needed. In the two weeks with clones 4â?� we now have plants 14â?� and growing, LOL. Food is Advanced Sensi Grow 2 part. And also using VitaManplu to supliment.

This Forum is terrific and from reading some of the posted messages have learned a great deal. That along with picking up some good reading material.
