Sprngscrgvr: I can't edit after ten minutes, the phone rang.
edit: I don't dislike caregivers, I dislike non-compliant assholes. If that includes some home growers, fine. I'm not 'pro-MMC', I just haven't found a private caregiver who can supply the same quality top 1% as some MMC's can. It's as simple as that. I am interested in obtaining the best quality medicine that I can, and my experience has shown me that in this industry, it's hard to find good quality. But it's easy for me to get quality meds from a select few MMC's, those are the ones who I am in favor of. I'm not really into trashing bad MMC's either, so you only really hear about the ones I like.

hey shouldbegrowing420 - how about popping a few seeds, or stop down and pick upa half dozen clones. You would be fine with just 1 600 watt switchable. If you keep it small, it stays cheap.

It would be cool to set up a website, just for new growers, how to get started cheap. It would be cool to see more people taking care of themselves.... and, by growing the plant..

there is enlightenment. look into the grow light.

it is needed.
I don't see any reason for the name calling. It's juvenile, and you post here enough that you should know better, and be above such childish behavior. You can look down your nose and judge me all you want, but please don't degrade yourself to sophomoric insults.

I'll clarify for you because you're acting like an ass. I chose my 'handle' for several reasons, and I won't get into all of them. When I was in college in 2000-2001, I sold drugs in the dorms, and my clientele included my RA. As such, he allowed me to have a pot plant. I got some mid grade 'bc beasters' that had a seed, and put it in the bathroom under the 2 floro's. It was even hydro, a little soil pot in a rubbermaid container, so the roots could grow down into the aerated water. I was browsing overgrow everyday. I had to clip and flush at semester break when the dorms got tossed, I never even tried to flower it or anything like that. I still have a fan leaf from that plant.

Since then, I haven't had the opportunity to grow again, for reasons that I probably won't discuss. Recently, my living situation changed and I moved in with a friend for a bit, and she let me get a plant. I bought two clones off craigslist, one soil and one hydro, sour diesel. The hydro one took off, so I practiced taking cuttings from the soil plant. I got about 50 from the soil plant, I have the best 12 on a 2x4tray. I'm totally compliant btw. The other plant, the hydro one, is a beast. I topped and supercropped and FIMed my way into an awesome plant, which is now in day 15 of flower under a 400w hps light in a 4x4 tent, full nute schedule. There are 6-8 main colas, and I'm considering upgrading to a 600w light because the lower growth isn't getting enough light.

So don't sit there on your pedestal and judge me like I don't know what I'm talking about. I might be new, but I'm eager to learn and this is a great place to do so. Go ahead and view me as an amateur. I'm not trying to make money, I'm trying to get the best medicine for myself as possible, and I have the feeling that's why you smoke as well. So at the end of the day, even though you'll probably never admit it, we're on the same team.

I even bought a 90watt LED ufo light, because the asshole at some hydro shop said it would 'replace' a 300w hps. Bought it, set it up, fucking laughed my ass off when I bought a 400w hps the next week. But, I could have saved the time and effort of investing in that stupid LED light if people such as yourself weren't so adversarial to people who are new to growing. It should be obvious that people entering this business are patients, not 'for-profit' types.

I don't expect a response from you, and that's okay. I'm glad you are good about posting current events.

It seems like you read my posts looking for me to catch myself in a lie or something like that. I don't have anything to hide, and I would argue that I give as much or more disclosure than anyone who posts in these colorado threads aside from MMC's. If you doubt anything I have posted, then please address it, because I am not a liar and you seem to imply as much with your dismissive remarks etc.

What experience do you have growing? Is there a reason you choose to ignore that aspect and instead attack me as a liar/amateur/whatever? I don't doubt anything you might say, but you should probably let people (me) know where you come from before you criticize me like you have done.
