Yes, smoking anything will cause you to inhale small particles and damage your lungs. Fire victims often die of smoke inhalation, after all. Since you only inhale a small amount of smoke when you smoke, you only do a little amount of damage at a time, but you do damage your lungs, not to...

In this case, it seems to be a more case of government actually restricting Big Pharm in this case. It isn't like we really could grow our own medicine. Aspirin comes from a willow tree. You won't get the same benefit from a cup of willow tea that you would get from a Bayer tablet. FDA...

Let me clarify. First of all, I know that most of our medicines come from plants. I am also so intrigued by the new information that cannabis does show a lot of promise as an anti-cancer drug. I have advanced breast cancer, so the newest articles about cannabis having specific breast tumor...

I gotta be honest with you, as someone who has cancer, this shit pisses me off. Weed doesn't cure cancer. It helps with a ton of other shit, but it hasn't cured my cancer. Hell, I was a total head long before I had cancer, so it had lots of time to cure it. :-? There is no pharmaceutical...

I am pretty happy with the AG as a first step. My grow is also--at least ostensibly--for mmj. I also smoke for pleasure, though. People who aren't physically dependent on it don't get that distinction. Anyhow, I started my harvesting. I just took off the top thirds of both plants. The...

I suffered many germination setbacks,myself. I recommend germinating the seeds in a paper towel. You can start enough for each hole, but you won't be able to grow them very long. I find my space is maxed out with two plants. And that was true long before they flowered. Of course, if you...

Nope, but I am sure you could find out at the AG website. I connected my light hood to its own power cord, so my settings only control the pump.

I germinated in paper towels and then put the sprouts in on the salad greens setting. I left it there since. I also bought two more lamps today. CFL's equivalent to 100watts each.

They are about $150. Mine was a gift, so I paid nothing. Also, some people don't like to build or mod stuff. That is why my folks and my in laws like their Macs and their iPods. No hacking, customizing, modding or otherwise having to deal with technology. Kinda like the Aerogarden...

Hear, hear! :hump: :hump: :mrgreen: It is perfect for us, as well, because we can afford to buy what we need, but this is a fun toy that also happens to provide the bonus of free smoke. From what I have seen, it works much better on weed than it does on the tomatoes they sell. My local hydro...

Thanks! I looked it up and I will differently throw it in the mix. It is too late for this grow, but will go great with my plan to throw clones in with little or no vegging.

I just wanted to add one more bud shot. This is a standard bud on my plants. I just took this picture. The AG was a gift from my father, so I didn't have to worry about start up cost. In addition, I like that I was able to start playing with it right away, adding components as I need. I...

One of my healthy buds. Taken tonight.

Ah, okay. 150 watt equivalent makes more sense. Glad you cleared that up before I burnt my girls to a crisp. I do want to add one or two more lamps, though. By the way, I'm a chick. :-D

Well, I can't swing an HPS right now, but I will try to get it in place for the next grow. I can see I need to add light, though. I'll throw in some stronger CFLs. These are only 23 watts each!

I just added two CFLs in cheap clamp lamps. There is no way the AG is enough light. I also raised the hood higher with a separate cord. Mine looks funky because the hood wouldn't stay up and is leaning against the wall.

I started flowering at about 5 weeks. Mine were super tall. You can check out my grow journal (which is just my collection of past posts) here: https://www.rollitup.org/grow-journals/38402-n00bs-grow-first-indoor-aerogarden.html

Almost 4 weeks flowering, and lots of buds. The buds get visibly bigger every single day now. This is two healthy females.

from 12/10/07: Okay, I have added a lattice to tie down the branches. I lost a small bud to light bulb burn. Anyhow, the growth and vigor of these babies is amazing me. I think I am hooked. I attached pics of the buds and of the whole setup. I am so hooked. Would it work okay to keep a...

Since this my first grow, I used some random bagseed from friends. That way, I can tackle cloning once I have a handle on growing. No point in wasting good seeds, right? I am a soil gardener (Of the traditional veggies and herbs type, not weed) from way back, so I feed them more in keeping with...
