Michigan Growers Tell Your Plans for This Year

Yea I agree with ya Green Dave, maybe when the growers are treated with respect I will remain "hidden in the woods" but when the time does come when medical marijuana growers are treated as fairly in michigan as they are in Cali I would love to give it a shot.

what do you think Green Dave 5-8 years? It is michigan you know theres alot of retards in office

My guess is within a year or so, one of the crooked LEO offices will get sued.

I have done a lot of reading up on the subject. I even donated my time to build the Freedom March website last October.

Anyway, here is my two cents. At first they were busting outdoor crops whether in a "locked facility" (fenced in with a keyed gated access) or not and raiding and checking legetimate growers that were reported to leo. A majority of these reports were by disgruntaled X's and jealous friends and family memebers. It seems now that they are concentrating on all of the dispensaries popping up everywehre to see what the judgement becomes in the court system.

So far I have not been harassed, and I have been a registered CG for over a year now. I am in compliance with the law and have no reason to be harassed. Also, I do not go around advertising that I am a CG and growing mj in my home.
It also depends upon what county you are in as to the level of harassment you may receive. I do know that Kalkaska and Oakland Counties seem to be the worse, also the Grand Rapids area. I think that Oakland County is by far the worse.

Where I live, one of our compassion club members discussed with the sherriff their intensions, and the sherriff's office said as long as you are within the law, and plants are grown indoors out of sight from passers by, they were not out to harass anyone. They even said that when they did receive a few reports to investigate, there were a couple of places that had more than the allowed plant count. The sheriff's department only took the amount of plants that were over the allowed amount and left the rest alone. This was is in Clare County.

It is all about choices. Choosing who you hang out with, choosing who you say certain things to, and so on.

GrowGoddess you guys need anymore caregivers in your area?.

I think I may get my mj caregiver card this winter and grow one as big as the pole barn next year. I am not joking either boys.

Compassionate caregivers are needed across the entire state. However, you need to have someone appoint you as their caregiver in order to become one.

In most cases the best bet is to become a patient yourself. You may have a qualifiying condition, if so, there are recommendation clinics that you can go to should your current physician that is treating you for the ailment is not too cool about recommending mj as an alternative medication or therapy. All you need to get a recommendation through a clinic is a copy of your medical records showing that you have been treated for a qualifying condition as stated in the Michigan Medical Marijuana Law and a copy of your photo ID. The cost for a recommendation varies, the range is from $125 on up to $200. Then if you are a registered mj patient, you would have additional coverage in posesing mj.

Now, there are different ways to meet up with a potential patient. There are many support groups in Michigan, most are called Compassion Clubs. These clubs meet usually once to twice each month and there are folks that are new to the program looking for someone to grow for them for a variety of reasons.

There is also the Michigan forum Michigan Medical Marijuana Association http://www.michiganmedicalmarijuana.org/ on that fourm there are plenty of posts of people looking for caregivers. I would recommend using caution as you never know where LEO might be lurking I have also seen here on roll it up people from Michigan looking for a caregiver.

So if you are not the social bug, and would preferr to seek someone out online, at least arrange a few meetings with the potential patiend before signing up with them. Have them discuss their needs and you would in turn discuss what you would be able to provide. It would also be wise to read over the law and be sure you understand it to the T so there is no way any potential patient can pull a fast one on you.

grow goddess, are you THE grow goddess? the one who grows qwerkle and it was featured in 4mmag?

I had a good thicket going outside in the midst of a 4/20 michigan day. my buddy had a pond with a million tadpoles in it and i scooped a bunch up in a large tupperware with the lid and closed it off for 3 weeks, put it on top of my plot and holy shit, they grew like a motherfucker. MICHIGAN STATE ROCKS

Well I have read the law several times, this is how I already know I will not be able to obtain a users permit. The only way for me to get a legal grow going is to find a very lucky patient. The truth of the matter is that helping people is one of a very few things that I like to do! From my point of view If I were to be able to grow for someone it would also be a formm of treatment for me! I would have so much satisfaction in handing over a trash bag full of potent buds to someone that was Hurting and say Take IT. The smile alone and the felling I would get would more than pay for the grow!

So that is my point of view, All you greedy hell bound morons that sell pot to dying people for 300 dollars an ounce are as far as I am concerned are dumb, and the people that pay those prices are also dumb. So now that reality has been established I can move on.

Yea there are alot of people in michigan that would not like to see me become a caregiver. Heck I would start a competion to see who could GIVE the most away.. Ha ha ha

Why yes, that is me, thanks for noticing!

Let me see that was probably Issue 8, July 2010. I have featured other strains in that mag as well in a few other issues. They even requested an interview of me and my grow set up, however, I have been so dang busy, maybe I will get around to it one of these days.

On the first page of that same issue (July 2010) of the mag there is a pic of some of my dried Querkle buds, in case you didn't see that one.

Hey, if anyone is interested in the Michigan Medical Marijuana Magazine, a link can be found on our club's website in the Website Directory here is a link http://www.mtplcc.org/html/multi_media.html
You may also be interested in the Midwest Cultivator, this is a quaterly Medical Marijuana Newspaper, a link to their site is on the same page.



Peace,

I am kind of busy today, as soon as I get a few minutes I will PM you on some more aggressive ideas on how to find a patient. I also receive a great feeling when able to help someone in need. I have a very low income patient, and I supply her everything she needs with no fees. Just the smile on her face when I give her the "medicine" is enough for me. Also, I get a great feeling to know that since she has began the medical marijuana therapy, she has reduced the amount of pain pills and completely gotten off of the morphine patches.

Marijuana IS good medicine!

it looks pretty. qwerkle is my resident strain. what area you in? would you happen to be lookin for a man? you could be my qwerkle queen

You're funny rzza, I will take that as a complement!

You can see where I am! The live cam at the club website is mine, in my backyard (the link to the website is in my signature). I am also the "BirdQueen" LOL If you take a look at the site, it is due to the giant birdfeeders that I can't grow outdoors. The birdfeeders attracts everything to my yard from birds to bears, and mj would be a tasty treat for all of them!!

I must say, Querkle is one of my most favorite to grow, overall it is a great plant. All of Querkle' qualities are very good, and very much so for growing indoors. Although, it is not nearly as potent as my Goddess Grown exclusive, 4-G. However, 4-G is much more difficult to grow, it is dark green in color and has an indica taste, but grows more like a sativa (hybred) Pics shown below are of 4-G.

whats the 4-g lineage?

mmm the power of Mike Tyson in a bowl.. I love strait up power indicas Grow Goddess, the sativa buzz is nice once in a while.

I grew 6 strains this year " hashberry got mangled" so finished with 5. a "stinky" cm pheno, trainwreck and my trusty AK stop me in my tracks, I am indeed tranquilized! The Sweet Tooth, other cm phenos"smell like jam" ,mandala 1, white widow do not have that ability!

I now have about 1,200 seeds, of top quality bud. I would give you 600 seeds that people will fall in love with. to have a cutting of 4-g mmm Mike Tyson in a bowl. That is what I am looking for..

On other notes due to outdoor growing. I finished another batch of hash yesterday. I am indeed taking alot more time and doing much more work than I did in my first batches. I looked at my hash this morning"after a night of drying" and now this batch is more BLONDE color. Is this good? I took 3 sample tokes off the grade A- stuff and man, I was off in la-la land. I am trying to get it perfect before I make THE BIG BATCH so all input is needed. " will put up pics later".

Well my final wave is a day or 2 from packaging and storing for the winter " harvest pics soon". well I am really getting to sample the finished products as of late and am happy that it worked out after ALL.

Well, the 4-G is a plant I kept in the search for a far more potent indica plant out of about 100 strains from imported bag seeds. Never did find that super indaca though.
In the future our club may be offering the 4-G clones.
4-G flower time is 6-8 weeks but, I would not recommend it for outdoor growing, because if daytime temps dipped below 74 degrees it would only put out little buds, it likes tropical warm weather.

Now, as for the Querkle Queen, I am working on it!

What a pair eh?

Nice set there Grow Godess
I have been growing Jillybean and Jack The Ripper I really like the TGA gear
Have you tried the Querkle outdoors?
hic
Nice to see your getting the hash thing down we will have to talk about your methods

always willing to chat with ya Green Dave. I am still learning and wanting to hears other ideas on the purification proceess.

I have been coon hunting at nights with my uncle lately, I have also been taking long stoned walks with my GPS and saw in pocket..ideas and data are already being collected for next years grow.

Realistically this "is" the begining of my 2011 outside grow! I will work and evaluate until the snow falls, after the snow falls I am on vacation. Rabbit hunting and smoking dope is all will be workin on, most this winter.

Yes, the Querkle Queen is sporting triple D's nice and firm, perky too!
LOL - Thanks!

No, I have not grown outdoors, too many critters to destroy the crops!

Which would you say is more potent the Jillybean or Jack the Ripper? Also which seems to sport more quantity? Just curious, I have been considering trying other TGA strains, since the Querkle has proven to be worthy. Querkle does seem like it would be a good outdoor strain though. Has an 8 week flower time and grows bushy on it's own.

Thanks again
Peace
