The first annual HIGH TIMES Medical Cannabis Cup in San Francisco will include prizes for the best and most medicinal cannabis, hashish and edibles from Californias legal medical marijuana dispensaries. Lead by HIGH TIMES cultivation reporter Jorge Cervantes, our small panel of expert judges will award Cannabis Cups based on the medical efficacy of the submitted varieties, and will provide notes on the winners designed to help Californias estimated 150,000 legal medical marijuana patients make well-informed decisions when seeking cannabis medicine.

HIGH TIMES first annual Medical Cannabis Cup will also feature a two-day medical marijuana and hemp expo that will include cultivation seminars with HIGH TIMES editors Jorge Cervantes, Danny Danko and Nico Escondito, activism sessions with leaders of the medical marijuana movement and major cannabis celebrities, seminars on how to open and operate your own legal canna-business, an all-star Medical Cannabis Cup awards ceremony, and an unforgettable Saturday night party with surprise musical guests.

first of all i have to say this is not my work didnt come up with it just read it and wanted to share

so here it is


here is an easy way to deliver
substances to your plant leaves by capillary action.This can be done by bypassing the
plants roots. Much like a rose or other flower in a vase of water, cannabis can up take fluids and actually remain “alive” if the freshly cut stem is placed in an aqueous solution. The plant root system filters out large molecules, especially if the molecule is highly charged. If a flavoring-agent is placed in the soil, it will remain there, and not be taken up by the plant roots. This is because flavoring agents (flavanoids) are large, highly charged molecules. This results in the flavanoid remaining in the soil. The end result is that the flavoring agents act like a salt in the soil, and thus having osmotic properties, actually draws water from the plant back into the soil. This is a simplification but the end result is to dehydrate the plant and result in its death. I first realized this by killing a fine cannabis plant through placing root beer in the soil. It killed the plant and didn’t flavor it (foiled by the root
membranes). I next reasoned that if a Christmas tree can be kept alive (for a while anyway) if placed in a solution of salts and sugars, then similar things should apply to cannabis plants. I took a mature, ready–to-harvest plant and cut it off with sharp pruning shears, and immediately placed the cut stem in a jar of Mexican Vanilla extract. I left the plant’s stem
in the solution for about a week. After about 24 hours you could smell the vanilla in the colas, without the vanilla ever coming in contact with the bud. It took a while to dry out the cannabis after the RTM procedure was performed. When smoked, everyone loved the flavor and smell and it didn’t make anyone cough. The flavor is hard to describe and thus hard for people to identify, but everyone loved it. The RTM procedure can be used in a number of different ways.Experimentation must be done to determine the optimum time the plant should be exposed to this procedure with different flavanoids. Possibilities are endless; you can dream up anything you like (Strawberry, Bubblegum, Beer, Maple, mint, or combinations of two or more substances.). No health studies have been done on adding any of these or other substances to a
product that is to be smoked and consumed by humans. Flavoring agents do exist in tobacco products, however. Some may be proven safe in the future while others most certainly will have negative health consequences. This procedure may already
be in use in some areas of the world, but to my knowledge has not been printed prior to this article. Additionally, this mechanism may be done to flush plants with plain water if needed, to diminish nitrogen harshness on the smoke. Other important application of the RTM procedure would be to present to the plants THC PRECURSORS. By placing the live plant, almost ready to harvest, in a solution of Terpenes or Phenols, it would have ready-formed THC precursors for the marvelous metabolic machinery
of the cannabis plant to work on. The end result could be that any strain of cannabis could be made super concentrated with THC in this manner. This technique could also hold promise in the future by allowing researchers to combine known medications with the cannabis plant. Steroids, Bronchodilators, Antibiotics and other medical substances could be delivered to the live plant. Obviously, while no real research has been done towards the safety of doing alterations to the cannabis plants, and I suspect most consumable organic substances would pose little risk, this remains to be proven. This could be applied to other plants as well. The possibilities are endless. We need to end the virtual ban on cannabis research. If a qualified person can obtain a license to handle automatic weapons, explosives or other dangerous substances, then a properly-credentialed person should be able to do handle and study this so-called “dangerous drug “ called cannabis.

dude you should get my watering setup in there! its perfect for that. im telling u bro it will only cost 40 bucks. jus imagine being able to use a 2 ft wand. all you would have to do is squeeze the trigger for a sec over each plant. then it would take 2 mins. mix 4-5 gal of nutrients at a time. i always hated watering out of cups/jugs. plus it doesnt mess the soil up at all. id always get a fat mark in the soil from the water being to ruff on the surface. idk i jus think every1 should have a sub. pump in use if they grow cannabis. just thinkg about it! all i ask

well these bitches definatly overgrew there cups had to put em in grow bags still have 5 left to transplant ill do the rest in the morning well when i wake up ,it is morning now 3am .
when i try this style again ima have to have a grow bed or something along those lines the roots were everywhere pot bound doesent begin to describe it lol either that or take bigger clones and as soon as they root well enough but still in cubes put em in dirt then flip to flower only way you'll have room for roots hmmmm i though that seeds rooted better than clones still working this theory out i guess when i went from seed the root room when finished i could have had all those plants in solo cups when finished prob now in the beg of flower i over ran the cups i wish i had x ray vision so i can just look and know what the roots are doing lol
so the plan now is to flower all these in grow bags outside as soon as weather get good enough ill move em outdoors and then....

shit i dunno ima have to rethink my whole inside plan again i dont know if i wanna go small and a bunch a few big or somewhere in the middle
fuck fuck fuck this screws my plans all up
