Lovemyhens you do know that you can get a conversion bulb from mh to hps so you can use the same ballast-- right? Sativa's are slow at flowering take longer .

Martian Mean Green is hands down my fav sativa, I smoked it at the 2006 cannabis cup, the breeders Don and Aron from D&A genetics.
MMG is suposed to never make a person tired, I smoked it the most while I was there, as it gave me a nice enegertic soaring high.
I have tried some other D&A seeds over here in the US, and it was not as good. Sometimes when growing out seeds it takes a little bit to find the right phenotype you are looking for, as opposed to growing out a clone from strain that is well known.

For instance if you got ten seeds, several may finish later than others, some may be stronger, etc... Shorter/ taller.
Big yield, small yield.

Super Silver Haze is really nice as well, great sativa..
I personally don't like dealing with some sativas, the long flowering time gets to me.

Yes you can start under fluro ad then put under the 250.
Also you can grow out bud under a MH, it might not be as large of a yield, but I have heard several growers saying the quality of bud grown under a MH is slightly better than HPS.(I personally have never tried.)

A lot of different preferences and opinions.
( so many different ways to grow this plant)

I was one of the first 250 people to get cards in new mexico.
And have received my card in the mail twice, the first time was my initial application, the second time was my renewal. Both times it was right around a month, A year sounds totally unbelievable, I bet if you asked Dominick V. Zurlo he would also agree.

My understanding of the situation is that the DOH makes the Producers charge a minimum price so that it will not be FAR lower than street prices because they are worried about patients reselling meds at a profit.

In all honestly that sounded like a bunch of BS to me, So I took the initiative and contacted the DOH medical cannabis program and talked directly to Dominick V. Zurlo,


Here was his response,


""Dear Sir,
The NMDOH does not and has never set the prices for medical cannabis. Each non-profit producer sets their own prices. The NMDOH continues to review and license producer applications in part to increase the supply of medical cannabis to meet patient needs. This process does take time, and ensuring the safety of medication for patients is one of the paramount tasks of the program.

You are correct in that if the NMDOH wanted to keep prices high, it would not issue PPL's, and so the comments from other organizations you have heard do not make any sense with regard to this. At this time, over 1/3 of all patients have PPL's. Also, just as a reminder, at this time, any excess must be turned over to law enforcement for destruction. Giving or selling excess medical cannabis produced by a patient to anyone else is expressly prohibited and illegal.

Yes, I was looking at that last night.....i am definately rethinking my possible future setup, also, I was interested in a grow tent, anyone have any experience with any?

I would like a tent because it would be easier than having my hubby build a room(he takes FOREVER), and I can take it down when needed.

Buy either a homebox or secret jardin,
I believe those are the two main brands that have not have problems with off gassing.
Same type of off gasing as UGU talks about in this thread.

There are assumptions, and there are facts.....i never believe anything unless there are facts to back it up.

Smart Cookie you are, :thumbsup:

*edit
On a side note, with all the changes happening in the program, and the fee's that are being pushed by the DOH, I think the prices being charged by the producers are a lot more fair than I originally thought.
