    I want to find a growing mentor.

    What you described is exactly what I'm after. It doesn't have to be a commercial grower (my motive is growing quality medicine, not making a profit), but I would gladly do grunt work in exchange for help dialing in my own garden. Your other post just made me laugh, because that's literally why...

    Sacramento County Medical Patients...Tuesday is critical. Please read

    Didn't go, and THIS HAPPENED Seems quite terrible on the surface, but it's a County measure regarding unincorporated areas, so Sacramento, Elk Grove, Rancho Cordova and Citrus Heights aren't affected. So while some of the OGs like Grass and Green Solutions might be unaffected, it seems like...

    I want to find a growing mentor.

    I see this got moved to General, so maybe now more eyes will see it. Still trying to find a mentor or info on safe places/ways to network with expert growers.

    I want to find a mentor.

    Anyone in the Sacramento area want a hardworking, reliable apprentice? I'll do grunt work for free in exchange for help dialing in my own garden. I'm a legal patient halfway through my second grow, and though I've made major strides, I know I can learn even that much more from an experienced...

    Sacramento County Medical Patients...Tuesday is critical. Please read

    Say I was to attend this meeting. What could/should I say? "I agree with the planning commission's request that this amendment be scrapped." Has anyone actually attended such a meeting and felt like their input was valued? What could I say other than I need access to medicine?

    I want to find a growing mentor.

    No matter how well written the book (even Sheckie Silverstein's epic 'Da New Quarible'), this thread isn't about reading. I dare venture a guess that I have access to 10x more books and videos about medical cannabis than the average RIU member. Not bragging one bit, but making the point that I...

    I want to find a growing mentor.

    I appreciate the feedback I've gotten in this thread so far (woodsman in particular; I found out first hand about overwatering, the necessity of a good meter, not overfeeding, light distance and good circulation from mistakes in my first grow). But nobody has directly answered my question of...

    Sacramento County Medical Patients...Tuesday is critical. Please read

    Yea, I don't see anything specifically about medical marijuana, but there is indeed some sort of zoning issue being discussed at 2.15pm (wonder if that's a coincidence lol). The part about 'federal law' seems to be what would create a problem for Sacto dispensaries: 56. 2:15 PM - 11-ZOB-00183...

    I want to find a growing mentor.

    Concensus seems to be that RIU is a good place to get started, and based on what I've been able to accomplish with about 6-7 months of daily reading, that's absolutely true. And just like UB said, I've learned how easily I can be fooled as well. So in order to get the answers to questions I'd...

    I want to find a growing mentor.

    After seeing the premiere of Weed Wars, I'm starting to think I've maybe been a bit too safe and cut myself off from some potentially helpful relationships. I'm a legal California patient, but have been extremely cautious so far. No one knows about my garden except my wife and presumably, the...

    Sacramento Dispensaries- Who is still open??

    I patronized Green Solutions quite regularly in days gone by and while there were a few letdowns, I found them to be one of the better clubs in Sac. They were the only local place with Juicy/Candy Jack for a good while and usually have a good selection of Subcool gear in both flower and...

    1 tent, 1200w, 9 strains, 19 plants and HUNDREDS OF PHOTOS!

    Ok now we're getting into the current stuff, let's bring each strain up to date with as many photos as are available from each one, each step along the way. This 707 Headband was a clone from the first round that in turn had served as a mother and given quite a few cuttings before I realized...

    Do I need to buy pH Up as well as pH Down?

    I concur. Only start with pH Down when shooting for pure tap water at 6.5 (comes out around 8 here). The fertilizer solutions are quite acidic. Exactly.

    Super Lemon Haze day 5 12/12 claw AND yellowing...WTF?!?!!?

    Here are some new photos. The first ones were from October 31, these from November 6, so 7 days later. The original yellow leaves browned and got crispy, so I pinched them off. I have now lost all the fan leaves on that first node, and the next ones up are starting to show a slightly...

    1 tent, 1200w, 9 strains, 19 plants and HUNDREDS OF PHOTOS!

    Now that we're done recapping the first crop's ups and downs, let's start this all over again for a new set of strains. I'd purchased some Super Lemon Haze beans in mid summer but had little success with them in Rapid Rooters. I let them germinate in the paper towel so the roots got long...

    Not sure, Number 2. I've seen everything from SFV OG x ECSD to ECSD x Master Kush or ECSD x Master Kush x OG Kush. Seems like the East Coast is the key contributor, though no one can seem to decide if it was male or female, and with which other strain(s) it was crossed. Based on his other...

    OG Kush #18 - Reserva Privada Smoke/Grow Report

    Nice frosty little pine cones you had there, my friend. I'm growing out a pack of OGK18s myself right now to find a mom; did you notice a variety of phenotypes? Mine all look quite similar, so I'll probably keep the one with the tightest internodal spacing, assuming potency is similar...

    Welcome :bigjoint: Blue Dream was one of the first strains I liked so much that I remembered it by name. So glad to finally have an ample supply. And the Skywalker OG is interesting. It smelled like blueberry lemonade upon cutting but as it cures, more of the fuel funk is emerging while the...
