Help me get started

"High" to you all.

I'm 67, Canadian male and living in the S.Ont. area and I have been an occasional toker for years. That was for the BUZZ. Now my situation is different and I need to learn quite a bit. I have never bothered to read about or learn the finer points of pot until mid Aug. when I got a tummy ache that I thought was a hernia or appendix and went to emerg . 3 surgeries, 4 scopes and 33 days later I was discharged--28 lbs lighter with an ostomy bag to contend with. The reason was COLON CANCER. Surgeon says she got it all and there is no VISIBLE cancer cells left ?? Next step was to schedule the Cancer Clinic for what they call adjuvent treatment that will take care of any cancer cells not visible to the naked eye. First thing I did was go online and read up on CHEMO. My take on it, after some research was to ask why? Why would I put more poison in me that will make me SICKER in order to get well without any guarantee , or as the oncologist stated "Chemo is a crap shoot" and there is no way to tell if there are any cancer cells left that can migrate thru my body.?? That's when I started to do some research on alternatives and the one that has stuck in my mind over Chemo, along with real eye openers such as Big Pharma and Government(s) role in Cancer Care/CURE, is the marijuana plant and what it contains, a much safer self treatment-Hemp Oil. I believe the term Hemp Oil is used for legal reasons at the site mentioned in the next paragraph.

Then I hit on a site regarding a man named Rick Simpson and his story of Run From The Cure, the bottom line of which is HEMP OIL

I've read reams of stuff on the topic and i am convinced that Rick and many others the WORLD over are on to something. So I want to follow his procedure, or learn of another method of starting with good pot and extracting the oil. Rick's method is starting with a pound of good Indica so that's what I want to do. "GROW YOUR OWN " seems to be the best advice I can find and that was re-inforced by the reminder of how many times i got ripped off by buying crap on the street . I've read a lot and decided, after reading many threads on numerous sites, that I would focus my questions with you all.

So --I'm hoping I can get help trying to accomplish what I wrote above and consequently have a better chance at a quality of life that would be destroyed/distorted by Chemo/Radiation. I can follow instructions and I have a big old house where I could discreetly set up an area to grow. I need instruction on everything needed to get a personal small grow op set up at home that will yield me a pound of top quality Indica pot from seed. According to the method Rick Simpson swears by, a pound should yield (+/-) 60Grams which is where I would like to get to on my first go at it.

My intro is a bit long and I apologize but I thought it best to explain where i am coming from and those interested would be in a better position to reply.

Thanks to all who took the time to read my long winded entry and I look forward to some positive feedback.

Cheers

Do not fool yourself into thinking pot affords a cure for your condition.

Thanks for your reply Mr.Ganja. No sir i am not fooling myself thinking the oil is the magic cure, but rather looking at all possibilities that gets me off the road toward Chemo or Radiation. I did not make the surgery aspect too clear. The surgeon took out a tumor growing at the top of my colon and removed 27 nodes around the area and declared there was no visible cancer but did the standard recommendation for adjuvent chemo therapy. I will trust the surgeon on what was said and done but do not put any trust into the standard post surgery protocol which is Chemo to kill cells that could 'possibly" be there. After a year or so-if I survive that-I could be free of the "possible" cancer, but at what physical and mental cost. So as I indicated, I have read so much about BETTER results with the oil, that I am willing to have a go at it, starting from scratch and growing my own.If the cancer is there and starts growing or returns as before, then maybe I would have to put my tail between my legs and say to the medical people-go ahead with the Chemo.By then I may have worked at it enough to have a steady supply of great bud and won't give a damm.From my perspective I could say I gave it a good fight.Cheers

well find a space in your place. the go buy the following. 1) a good grow tent to the size that fits your room. 2) lights/filter/fans/timers.---1000wat hps x? with 1000wat mh x?, big can filter with big fans/clamps n hoses intake/exhaust
3) buckets/medium/nuets. 4)clones/seeds 5)time n money to properly have good setup. also if you have ur card u can claim close to 75% of your hydro cost on ur hydro bill. cheers and hope this helped.

expect what you are going to pay...then add some more after a week and some more a few days later >>> aka create a budget first!

Thanks Light House as that was gonna be my next question.I have skimmed thru some threads here and feel that I am capable of following all instruction and advice, once pointed in the right position. Can you suggest to me the better strains of indigo seed I should look at purchasing that will be fast growing and high yield to produce one pound? I got a feeling the biggest $$ output will be the light setup.If I can get that $# in place,figuring the overall budget will follow. From there I will garner enough info from threads and questions to hopefully have a successful first grow. cosmoridez replied as you did and posted "1000wat hps x? with 1000wat mh x?" Looking at your sig I see "Private - 400w HID, 300w Fluoro, 150w LED" Cheers

i hope you do well friend!

getting a budged in place is deffinitely step one. a single 1000w hps can meet your goal of 1 pound. if you have the cash to get a metal halide bulb for veg go for it, but an hps light will work from start to finish just fine (the link in my sig is an all hps grow). i dont know what prices will be like in your area but my local hydro shop sells complete air cooled 1000w kits for $200. for medium, i suggest a good organic soil. https://www.rollitup.org/subcools-old-school-organics/338384-2010-revised-super-soil-recipe.html that is a link to a thread that explains my growing method of choice. if you can handle mixing up a few bags of dirt and a handful of amendments its the way to go.

rite now im shooting for 6x1000 wat hps setup im looking to hit a 7 pound mark.

haha have fun with that you got everything to deal with all that heat

Best of luck! The first round with chemo will help kill any lingering ones. Weed for side effects.. Don't let the horse out of the barn. jmo.. 30+ yrs hospital/clinic exp. Maybe you can do both
