Ok, I have a garden on my balcony. For those of you who would like to be cheap like me and get great results. You could read my posts. I have read almost everything I could find on the net. Then I extrapilated my own technique. This is my first attempt at growing. I am not saying that what works for me will work for you but I will post some pics tomorrow and you will see what I have done. I have several plants. 1 Green Crack clone, 1 clone that I received for free as a first patient gift. The rest are seeds that I have been collecting over the past 5 years. Tune in tomorrow.

So far I have had to buy soil, a few pots. What I couldn't live without is a 2 gallon sprayer to mist my plants. That cost 20 bucks!!! I also bought scissors.

As far as the plant goes, it is a seed that could have been as old as 5 years. I seem to remember some meds I had that had no green leaves and I found 2 huge seeds in it. If anyone can help me identify it I would be grateful as heck! Will post much better pics tomorrow. :) I will also introduce you to some of my other babies.

I planted the seed Dec. 28th. If you think that one is nice, I will post more in a couple of hours. I have to go to docs. :(

Just last week I went to one of my local co-ops and bought some Sweet Tooth. I found 2 seeds in a half oz so I planted them. They sprouted up last night!



Watch as they grow and we hope for at least one at least one female. The seedlette in the middle was just a random seed. I have 3 at that stage we will be tracking also. They are 2 weeks old.

:shock::leaf::hug:Massachusetts just decriminalized possession of less than one ounce - a step in the right direction - but Cali is so much farther ahead of the times!

In case you didn't know I did not use concentrates with my first plants. Water treatment is a big concern. The sun is a great tool. In order to give my plants purified water I simply fill clear one gallon bottles I have acquired over the past few months and sit them in the sun for 24 hours. VOILA!!! Instant, free, and purified water!

The one thing I always find funny about people who love and swear by hydroponics is that they act like it is the only way to grow bud. They can be down right insulting sometimes. Well, the next time one of you hydro's want to sling a discouraging word, digest on this. Where the heck do you think bud came from??? It used to grow wild all over the mid west. Now granted since those days the weather may have changed just a bit, but come on. I am old and I am old school. If the sun can't grow, why fake it?

I wouldn't grow if that were the case.

Oops, does not actually need sunlight to work GrowTech. UV rays will do when you need to sterilize water. heh heh. Works on the same concept of "getting a worse sunburn on a cloudy day".

As you can see, my camera skills are improving. The camera does all the work really but hey, I will take all the help I can get. HEH HEH

This is the second plant from a seed. It sprouted the same day as the purple plant. This one already smells so dank it is killing me waiting to harvest!!!





That purple leaf you see just turned purple 2 days ago. Hmmmm, I guess I wont complain. LOL

A moment of silence for seed 3 and 4 of group 1. One no show and one execution.

See you guys soon! BTW, I didn't put pics up yesterday cuz my other passion (basketball cards) took a hold of me and I spent the day opening packs and sorting. More relaxing then being in my garden. HEH HEH
