A positive story on mj that you probably won't find on the lamestream media......

Cannabis is NOT as dangerous as we think, expert claims: Study shows the drug only rarely causes psychosis
  • Over the years, scientists have discovered a link between weed and psychosis
  • But a review published on 4/20, a day to celebrate cannabis, found the opposite
  • Experts said cases of mental health conditions from usage of the drug are rare
  • However, those who smoke high amounts of weed should still be careful

The risk of developing psychosis as a result of smoking cannabis is much lower than first thought, scientists believe.

Over the years, a host of previous research has pointed to a link between the popular recreational drug and mental health conditions.

But a new review of existing studies published yesterday on 4/20, an unofficial day to celebrate cannabis, has found that cases are relatively rare.

However, those who smoke high amounts of weed should still be careful, according to a researcher at the University of York.

I've grown outdoor for some time now but have recently switched to indoor in a 5'x5' tent w/ 600w cool tube using a 6" 440cfm inline fan for ventilation and odor control.
I feel like a noob all over again. I've found that growing under the sun is far more forgiving to say the least lol.
Anyway, I'm about 2 weeks in to flowering. I'm running Big Worms Blue Matter and Yeti x Prime Glue x Tight Dojo. Surprisingly enough, about 80% ended up being female. Great female to male ratio.
Here they are. 2 BM plants and 2 Y x PG x TD ( 7-8 week veg) in 5 gallon buckets and 4 BM (4 week veg) in 1 gallon pots.
---> I burnt the shit out of the older plants with too strong of a neem oil solution so I germinated 5 more beans to be on the safe side.. I didn't plan on running more than 6 plants at a time<---

I was in that same boat 5 years ago myself and listening to these gentlemen brought me to a
higher level of growing, (pun intended :wink:).
There is a great amount of talent here. All you have to do is ask your answers will be here.

For clearing out the underside of the plants yes (lollipopping if you like), or for training, but I tend to only remove if the plant is telling me to remove them. Plants are smarter than us for knowing their environment (providing you give them the right grounding). That's my opinion.

What are your alls thoughts on lollipopping? Or selective defoliation?
I used to do it on my bushier outdoor plants because of very high humidity.. For a little extra air-flow around plants.
-- I know this is a VERY touchy subject.. Just looking for opinions.
I'm in the leave the leaves camp myself, just pull them off as they die off. I do some slight trimming on the bottom about 2 weeks in to maintain airflow but otherwise I let them do their thing and keep lots of air hitting them 24/7. Seems to work, these are 6x 3gal in my current round, they're are at Day 33...

I appreciate the feedback. The tent definitely has good airflow.. I was worried that mould or PM may set in when the buds swell and get dense. As spring sets in and the temps outdoors rise, the humidity in my tent stays around 50%-58%. Hoping it doesn't get any higher later on.

Before transplanting, I drilled out the bottom of 5 gallon buckets and also drilled holes every 1/2"-1" around the tops of the buckets. They've been trained around the tops of the buckets since their final transplant. It's getting harder and harder to water them.
I was kind of up in the air about trimming anything else down below because I don't want to slow the stretch.
One thing I wish I would've built or purchased before flowering is some trellising. Hoping that no branches snap when they start filling out and packing on the weight.
