Hello Everyone


Recommended Posts

Hi everyone, life long michigan resident other then the year i lived out west. I have used cannabis for a while now to treat my pain and the insomnia it also brings about on me, was never a fan of those danm pharmaceuticals all these docs try to give you and finding mm has been a life saver. I just got my card and am new to the mm world and have lots of questions but am glad i found this fourm. Thank you.

have you been able to experience some of these fabulous hybrids available to us now? Not sure of your age but my groups of friends and I were privy to the elites only occasionally, and only if we could afford the few grams available. Now though, holy smokes!!!! its like being in the elite stash every day!

 

planning on growing for yourself?

peace and welcome :hair:

Thanks for the fast reply grass, I might be a little younger then some on here not an old timer just yet lol. Before getting my card i had a hard time getting any meds that actually helped then recently visted a dispansary ( i know they seem frowned upon on here but being a new patient i have no other way) and let me tell you i am surprised about just how much some od it knocks your socks off it all seems to be top shelf stuff lol. I have tried a few strains that really helped one being cataract kush not sure if i spelled that right. It was really able to help with my pain and actually gave me a good nights rest soemthing i havent had in a while.

only a few players here frown on dispensaries, the bulk know they are necessary, the need must be filled. Patients without a caregiver need immediate access, period.

 

with good seed stock you can grow relatively cheaply depending upon your space  An mj plant will grow in a driveway crack or on  a patio, I've seen both.

Growing for ones self is cheap compared to buying your monthly supply perhaps, no way of knowing how much you require. Being a proper caregiver is another story. Intense atmospheric controls, pest management, perpetual schedules, electricity demands, year round heat/cooling, fertilizers are very expensive, soil/substrate etc. I could not afford my meds without growing my own.

for consideration you are legally allowed to keep your plant possession while also registering a caregiver for your supply, genetics, clones, advice, equipment, etc.

my next growing patient will score when they find me. I've got rafter full of equipment I've grown out of, the very best of the worlds' genetics for gifts, solid grow advice and a steady supply of affordable meds.  I've registered a dozen or so growing patients over the years and it always worked out well for both of us. You'll need to find a cg that doesn't need to possess your 12 plants, some  wont understand, but others will be eager to help if needed.

And I do have my grow rights but not any equipment to grow or anything i have heard it can be expensive to start a grow but heard its well worth it

 

It can be expensive to get started but it doesn't have to be.  Start simple with a growing style that fits your life style and space

ie... soil/ hydro etc..

Don't buy into all the newfangled gadgets and whatnot's advertised to grow bigger and better. 

 

KISS (keep it simple stupid) everything :)

 

Choose 1 strain and learn how to grow that 1 strain, then move on to growing other strains.

 

I've made just about every mistake and have had nearly all the issues that can occur while learning to grow (still am!).

While it can become frustrating at times for a beginner, I've found gardening to be such an awesome way to be at peace.

 

Remember, even while learning to grow your own meds, you can obtain your medicine wherever you choose.

I figured that it would be cheaper to grow my own then to buy, I typically use an ounce a month up to a ounce and a half depending on how i am feeling and the quality of the meds

I typically pay 185 to 200 for a ounce of meds at the shops in Lansing but some stuff there gets crazy expensive. Sorry if i am in the wrong for saying what i pay at the shops. And. I did not know i could still keep plant rights and register a care giver for those services. That will be something to consider soon. If i dont have a whole room to use for a grow could a grow tent work if i have a good sized closet or a basment? And am i legally able to buy seeds online how much more difficult is it to grow from seed vs clones? Thank you everyone for all the great feed back much appreciated.

no, mailing seeds is not legal here, but many of us have done it with no worries ever reported. some get confiscated and resent. never disappointed here.

 

I planted all different strains my first time out. I read the Jorge Cervantes book and fed each with identical treatments like light, food, water, etc, and every one was a super success. I continued using those things I learned and still grow all 20 strains in the same way, exactly. The troubles come when mixing sativas with indicas, pure ones. thes hybrids love it all. feed you soil, the plants know exactly what to do after that.

 

you will need to be sure your environment is ideal for indoor growing. Temps, humidity, air circulation/exchange, year round heat/cool, etc. I've seen mj grown in a computer box,  underground, in an attic, crawl space, garage, basements, sheds, barns, and behind the fence, all with great results. buy the book save yourself huge headaches

I'd grow from seed hands down, avoid the whole clone exchange woes. clone sellers need to break the law to supply you, unless you registered them as your caregiver, but you can buy them  legally from a dispensary or Junebug at the bar even.   I don't want a patient but I bet someone here is close by and could help??

Junbug at the bar? What does that mean

I don't think anyone is really against dispensaries per se. The problem is that they consistently try to try to have our grow rights taken away so we have to buy from them.

 

Here's a tutorial on getting a grow started for next to nothing.
