Hey 'Granny,

Please don't give up the idea of growing! Not only can you get your med mj cheaper but it can also be fun. Let me make a suggestion for you to consider.

Look into getting some auto-flowering strain seeds. Auto-flowering plants do not need a light change (typically 12/12) to start flowering. They are also very tolerent of a light schedule when growing and if you use the short compact type of auto-flower, you can grow them just like house plants (tho they have a distinct flower aroma).

Something like DJ Shorts (seed co) AK47xlowryder produces a plant abt 2' tall. When grown under optimum conditions, 20 hrs of good strong light a day, it will produce abt 1 oz of finished dried bud. Grown casually with a little less light you can expect 1/2 of that, but like I said you can grow it like a houseplant. Place it in a window, or on a porch or terrace when you have good sunlight and put it on your dresser to add daylenght with your grow lights. From the start of seed to finish takes about 10 weeks +/-.

Auto-flowering plants are ideal for someone just starting out and for small (not enough space) hobbyists.

Hi all, I am *very* new to all of this growing stuff, but I just got my MMJ card 2 or 3 wks ago and I've been to a dispensary, but am on SSDI, so $$ is a problem. I am attempting to grow "something" in my bedroom on my dresser in the corner of the room (with a fan to circulate the air), what we aren't sure as we had some seeds given to us by a friend who assures it is "good" (isn't it all?? :smokin:) Anyway, we started the seeds in January and they didn't do well at first, but we are Rating: 5
