I grew EP last year for the first time. I didn’t get them to maturity, because of three or four major fukups by
me, along with a VERY wet autumn, so my yield was almost nil. I planted out on June-1, they suffered a couple
of frosts during which some purple showed. I planted them out after sexing on 12/12, which I wouldn't do now,
because once these plants start to flower, they don’t like re-vegging, so a confused bunch of semi-flowering
plants was the result. Water soluble slug pellets resulted in the plants being eaten to one foot tall bare stems
soon after. I reverted to my other type of (non-soluble) slug-pellet and the damage stopped. One plant
re-grew in veg form, the others continued in semi-flower. Something odd happened then- which you should
take note of- I had 18" to 2' chicken wire fences around each plant, but somehow some bastard rabbits ate the
newly growing plants (this was early July)- rabbits that could CLIMB FENCES!. e, the things I was doing might be silly, but they felt
very natural.
Hunger and taste was another question which I singled out specifically; 150
respondents, or about 75 percent of the sample, said that they had eaten food while they
were high. Of this 150, six said that there was no difference between eating high and
eating straight, that marijuana had no effect on the nature of the eating experience. Eight
percent said that the experience was worse in some way; they had less of an appetite, or
the food tasted worse, and that they did not enjoy the experience of eating food when they
were high. Thirty-eight percent said that the most dominant characteristic about being
high and eating was that one's appetite was stimulated; one had a tremendous appetite
while high. Thirty-one percent said that the food tasted more delicious high than
ordinarily, that eating was a more enjoyable experience. Eleven percent said, merely, that
they were more acutely aware of taste, that they could discern the various tastes more
accurately while high. The remaining respondents said that they were more aware, above
all, of the texture of the food while high, that the most important thing was that they
suddenly desired Kali Mist unusual combinations of foods, that they wanted to eat weird foods they
had never considered before, and that they had a special craving for sweet things.
We should also expect sexual activity to be closely intertwined with, and powerfully
influenced by, smoking marijuana, and in this, our expectations are well supported.
Threequarters
of our interviewees said that they had experienced sex while high on marijuana.
We asked several specific Plantar Cannabis questions on the difference between sex high on marijuana and
sex normally.
First I asked, "Do you think being high on marijuana stimulates your sex interest, or
not?" More than a third of the respondents said that marijuana had no effect on their
sexual desire. Five percent said that marijuana had a negative effect, that it turned them
off sexually. Thirteen percent said that the effect depends on their mood or on their sexual
partner. In this group, a common response among the women was that marijuana acts as a
sexual stimulant when they're with someone with whom they're already intimate, but

when they smoke with a stranger, the prospect of sex becomes even more distasteful than
ordinarily.
For these women, marijuana seems to polarize sexual desire. But 44 percent, a
strong plurality, replied that marijuana definitely increased their sexual desire.
Next, I asked, "Is your enjoyment of sex any different high?" The respondents were less
divided on this question. An overwhelming majority, 68 percent, replied that marijuana
increased their sexual enjoyment, that their orgasmic pleasure was heightened by the drug.
Yet most scientists claim that in physiological terms marijuana lacks an aphrodisiac effect.
If anything,
"Regarding Early Girl, Ed Rosenthal says he knows (it was) developed by Cultivators' Choice in California in the
70's.”
“Early Girl - This is a mostly Indica early variety developed in Northern California. The plants are compact and
very sturdy, and will tend to grow to one main stem. Very potent, medium yield, with a hashy taste and aroma.
Inbred for 4 generations and carefully selected for quality and earliness. Early Girl is an outstanding choice for
growers seeking an early Indica-type. The plants build up alkaloids during dry seasons
and draw upon them for growth when the rains come. If the plants are harvested
during or after a wet spell, the alkaloid content may have dropped below 50
percent. If you have a soil test kit, you can get a good indication of the potency of
cacti growing wild. If the soil is rich in nitrogen, the plants are likely to be rich in
alkaloids.
When harvesting peyote, many people uproot the entire plant. This is
unnecessary and wasteful. The roots contain no mescaline. Some of these plants
have taken a long time to reach Fond D Ecran Cannabis their size. A cactus three inches in diameter may
be more than 20 years old. To collect peyote properly the button should be
cleanly decapitated slightly above ground Pollinatorseedbank level.
When the roots are left intact
new buds will form where the old was removed. These will eventually develop
into full-size buttons which may be harvested as before. Faulty harvesting
method have seriously depleted populations of this cactus.
Because of the
presence of several phenolic alkaloids peyote cacti do not spoil easily and may
be kept in their fresh form for several weeks after harvesting. If they are to be
kept longer than this they must be refrigerated, frozen, or dried. The enzymes
which cause the harvested plant to eventually decompose also destroy the
mescaline and other alkaloids. To dry peyote buttons lay them out in the hot sun
or in an oven at 250 degrees F until completely devoid of moisture.
OTHER PEYOTE-TYPE CACTI OF CENTRAL MEXICO
There are several cacti which are used by the Tarahumares and other tribes of
central Mexico as substitutes for peyote. Many of these cacti are now under
investigation for their alkaloidal content and sychopharmacological activity.
Progress is somewhat retarded in the studies of the effects
Nirvana of these plants
because almost all experimentation has been conducted on laboratory animals
rather than humans. Some of these cacti have been found to contain mescaline
and other related alkaloids with known sympathomimetic properties. Much further
research is needed on these plants and their activity. However, we will attempt to
bring the reader up to date on what is known about them at this time.
PEYOTILLO:
This small cactus is botanically called PELECYPHORA ASELLIFORMIS.
It is
also known sometimes as the hatchet cactus because of its oddly flattened
tubercules. It is often found growing in the state of San Louis Potosi in central
Mexico.
The plant contains traces
Nirvana of mescaline too minute to have any effect. It
also contains small amounts of anhalidine, anhaladine, hordenine, Nmethylmescaline,
pellotine, 3-demethyltrichocereine, B-phenethylamine, Nmethyl-
B-phenethylamine, 3,4-dimethoxy-B-pheneththyl-amine, N-methyl-3,4-
dimethoxy-B-phenethylamine, and 4-methoxy-B-phenethy- lamine. Most of these
are found in peyote but in much larger quantities.
TSUWIRI:
The botanical name of this cactus is ARIOCARPUS RETUSUS. The Huichol
name tsuwiri means F
"AFOAF grew some (Apollo) recently and got an indica phenotype that finished Marijuana Cannabis Seeds around 50 days, and a Durban
phenotype that took 60 days.
The indica phenotype is very resinous, clear high. Not racy nor paranoid. Dense buds, low odor.
The Durban phenotype has a Skunk stronger high than pure Durban, very clear, very racy, even paranoid. Buds very
fluffy, and they flop over from their own weight. Definitely a creeper phenotype in the gene pool (Durban).
The mom of A-11 is Genius, an F2 of Jack Herer crossed to an unknown male (likely a Durban imho). The dad
of A-11 is Cinderella.
Genius expresses the NL and Skunk side of the gene pool. Cindy expresses the Durban and haze side.
imho, for the A-11 to have 2 phenotypes in the F1, one of which is fluffy, sweet, and floppy like Durban, means
that the Durban gene is in both Apollo and Cindy." - Zorro cooperative attitude with the
probation officer.... Stable employment, conforming dress and sincere
remorse for having broken the law, combined with a positive plan for future
rehabilitation must be presented.... One who stands convicted of a crime
cannot expect lenient treatment if he goes before those who are about to
sentence him with the attitude that his actions are acceptable and the law is
wrong. Such an expression would probably encourage any judge, otherwise
disposed to grant probation, to allow the offender to spend a substantial
amount of time in jail to think about, and possibly modify, his attitude. It is
better to play it cool.25]
Arrest as a Status Transformation
Legal agencies have the power to define legal reality. They can, of course, create laws
and criminals de novo. But in a narrower sense, the legal process is successful to the
extent that it either (1) compels the individual to accept society's version of himself as in
fact criminal, i.e., criminal in more than a technical sense, a person deserving of society's
scorn and punishment, or (2) discredits the individual in important areas of his life,
impugning his trustworthiness, moral rectitude, and integrity for many members of
society. An arrest is able to do at least the latter. There are, of course, those for whom an
arrest is a mark of honor, or at least has no moral significance. But public exposure is
often unavoidable in an arrest. Consequently, one's private life is subject to public
scrutiny. Surveillance involves encroachments of privacy.26] Policemen rarely make the
fine distinctions between uncovering necessary evidence and a wholesale invasion of

privacy.
Being suspected of committing a crime, being under surveillance, having one's dwelling
and/ or person searched, being arrested, booked, brought to trial, and (if it comes to that)
convicted, not to mention the nature of one's experiences in a penitentiary, all serve as
public degradation ceremonies.27]
The legal apparatus has immense power to determine the nature of a felon's public and
private presentation. Although this is a variable and not a constant, in all likelihood he
sees himself as a man who has done something which is technically against the law, but
which in no way qualifies him for a criminal status, for "true" criminality. He may not see
himself as being "a criminal." Nor does society, not knowing about his crimes. Marijuana
users often state that they "don't think of marijuana use as a crime." But going through the
procedure of being arrested impresses in the mind of the offender the view that one
powerful segment of society (and perhaps, by extension, society in general) has of his
activity's legality.
In other words, the elaborate legal procedure, and its attendant social implications,
serve as a kind of dramaturgic rite de passage, which serves to transform the transgressor

I created a 'goblet' effect outwards around the Northern Lights top of the wire-tube, and this stopped the damage. Having been eaten back to about 18" in early
July, the plants reached about 6' by week-1 Oct. During the
jack herer whole summer, there was no single week that they
were not rained on VERY heavily, and for the last month of their lives they were in perpetual cloud/100%
moisture. Only one plant showed any signs of mold (and this one showed only small patches)- which I was
extremely pleased with.

“The Big Bud was the same as usual. The buds are large for sure, but this strain just doesn’t do it for me. They
reached about 15 inches in height and yielded at least an ounce each. I've grown this strain 2 times before
and to be honest I thought it came out poorly originally because they were my first crops, but even this latest
batch, which was grown and dried as perfect as I have ever done, still pales as far as potency goes. This will be
the last time I take up space with this strain.” – James Hetfield
Princess is a female which resulted from a seed found in a Jack Herer bud I bought in Amsterdam near the
Sensi Seed Bank at "Coffeeshop Sensi Smile". The bud came in a 2 gr. cello-pack with the Sensi logo; I
expected sinsemilla, but it had about 10 seeds so I assume she's an F2 JH. Her characteristics were so fine I
wanted to create seeds that would "replicate" this
Sk 1 Cannabis Flowering Time plant.
She has the KILLER Haze-influenced high with the most
DELICIOUS pineapple/evil scent, 50 day maturation in 12/12, and incredible resin production, doesn’t stretch -
yet clearly Sativa-dominant! Last but not least: Never a hint of hermaphrodism after 2 years of cloning & many
different styles of grow.
the buds looked like I imagine WW looks,
white ;-) Note: This plant piles on the resin in the last few days, I don’t recommend harvesting early and
know I won’t do it again."
"Aroma
It was nice to get something that smelled good in the grow to compensate for the smell, which I don’t like, of
the N x S when it is growing. It smells of citrus, fruity, with the skunk lurking in the background is the best
way I can describe it. It isn’t over powering but did require more than a baggy to contain the smell when I
brought an ounce to someone."
"Buzz
When I cut the bud at 37 days with the 50% withered flowers I test smoked it with a buddy on a ride. He
doesn’t smoke as much as I do but he isn’t a lightweight by any means, he smokes almost once a day I
guess. He missed 6 turns on a familiar ride in 1 hour and 15 minutes. He liked the buzz but was not happy
with it for driving since he was spacing out so much. I thought the whole thing was kind of funny myself and
I’m sure you know I was all over him on every missed turn. (Little did he know..I wasn’t exactly catching them
all either ;-) I didn’t like the buzz from this early bud at first, it was too speedy for me, but it did calm down
after a while. The other thing that wasn’t too impressive from it was the staying power of the buzz.
Now the buds harvested later were a completely different story. Mature buds have a unique buzz. It’s
definitely not couch lock weed but you can find comfort in your big buddy if you want to. It starts like a sativa
soar, then quickly settles into a body and mind buzz conducive to thought and guess what…you can then
verbalize those thoughts without difficulty ;-) This is a social indica."
"The buzz lasts quite a while and slowly turns into a couch lock thing if you don’t puff some more. Bottom
line-. As a head grower I would keep the plant just for the buzz I like the buzz since couch lock isn’t all there
is to life, I guess ;-) If I were still growing for dough I would love this plant and will keep it in case I get back
into the game someday.
Yo money tree folks… people like the looks and smell of this weed. I don't have any other comments on the
buzz yet but will include them in the additional T44 info that will be given in the next Flo Sheet.” – flick"
"“This variety is a Cheyenne Indica with a skunky influence, for lovers of fragrant weed with a strong buzz.
Take this girl just before bed and have a seductively sedative session. Her name was derived from her
stupefying qualities. Gag me with a bud."
"“A pure variety, never hybridized, imported from Afghanistan, grown in Holland. Very broad leaves, 100%
Indica. Heavy buds with lots of resin. Some plants turn purple at harvest time. Rather high flower to leaf ratio.
Aroma and flavor are heavy, almost medicinal. Very strong, physical, practically narcotic high. Average yields."
"“The Afghani part is a very short Christmas tree-like plant, 100% Indica, very resinous and very consistent. The
F Medical: multiple sclerosis “This state of the art Indica is the result of over 20 years of select inbreeding. Bred
for vigorous growth, high yield, and superb high. A must for growers who prefer short bushy plants. The buds
have an extremely frosted, resinous appearance and the yield is high.
"NL#5 is NL with another plant crossbred. Part indica, part sativa. Grows great outdoors, flowers quickly and has
a pretty good yield. I know a few that have grown it. Call it the "Christmas tree" bud, the plant looks like one..
Thumbs up to it, it is a great strain." -V
beled a "dangerous
drug." Not all cannabis advocates will agree on this question, but the range of opinion will
be relatively narrow, at least as compared with the other side. The radical position is that
the drug is completely innocuous, harmless in every conceivable way: "... marijuana... is in
all respects socially useful, and absolutely nonaddictive. We defy anyone to produce a
shred of evidence that marijuana. .. produces at any time any adverse, depressive, or toxic
effect."4] (The "completely innocuous" position is not to be taken absolutely literally,
since an "overdose" of water may prove to be fatal; what is meant is that cannabis presents
no dangers beyond such commonly accepted substances as coffee, tea aspirin, wine, and
food.) The most conservative pro-pot position is that the drug may, given an unfavorable
setting or taken by an unstable personality, precipitate a temporary state which could, by
some definition, conceivably be labeled as something potentially dangerous. In general,
users do not take the propagandized "dangers" of the drug seriously, since they have spent
hundreds and thousands of hours high, and have seen dozens of others high, with little or
no ill effect.
There is more-or-less complete agreement on the relative harm of the drug: that
marijuana is, for instance, far less dangerous than liquor.5] Another comparison often

with data.

somewhat sharp, which is the best thing about it. Overall I was pretty pleased with this harvest. I had a couple
of problems in the early weeks of flowering with mites, and then nearer the end the cold started to set in a bit.
So considering that I was pleased with the yield. Although it did suffer the typical Big Bud problem of slightly
looser buds. I had one

having to tie her down. 4 huge colas each around 4x11. That plant probably yielded almost 4 ounces alone -
Content They're funny plants when it comes to cuttings. They seem to be much slower to take than most, but the huge
amount of vigor that is inherent in the breed means that the cuts don’t die- they just hang around and don't
do much. I took cuttings of my over-wintering mother which took about 3 weeks to take- during this time, the
cuts didn’t look ill, and didn’t grow, they just 'existed'. The mother plant doesn’t do well indoors- mine seemed
to get freaked out and started to flower. It flowered though most of winter, then suddenly decided to revert, I
don’t know why. s are well mixed in the spore
syringe. Often, it takes several tries to get the spores fully broken apart
and well mixed.
If the spores in the print have been dried and are not fresh, it is best to
wait six hours to use the spore syringe. The spores need to rehydrate. If
your in a hurry, the spores can still rehydrate in the culture jars.
How to Make a Spore Print
Once you have a mature mushroom, you are in a position to make a
spore print and use it to continue cultivation of mushrooms. The cap
should be harvested when the mushroom cap has become flat or is
starting to invert.
Sterility is key. Adaptation-25 Be careful not to do anything that will
compromise the sterility of your spore print. The typical procedure is
to cut the stalk off of a mature mushroom very close to the cap. A
sterilized knife or razor blade is used to do this. The cap is then laid on
a sterile piece of tissue paper or card stock and a small glass set over it.
The glass is needed for two reasons. First, it keeps the spore print
insulated from airborne contaminates. Secondly, it helps keep the
humidity high so the mushroom cap can continue to live and drop its
spores. One note of caution. Some humidity usually needs to be

How To Grow Magic Mushrooms The Magic Mushroom Growers Guide (page 3)
allowed to escape. You want the environment inside the glass to be
slightly less humid than the environment in which the mushroom was
grown. If you have problems getting a cap to drop its spores, try using
a piece of paper for the print that fits entirely inside the glass and
spreading out a wash cloth flat on the table. Let the edge of the glass
seal to the wash cloth instead of the paper. This will usually allow
enough humidity to escape to cause the cap to drop spores.
If everything goes well, after a day or two the cap will drop its spores.
Adaptation-26 There will be a purple-brown dust underneath the cap.
These are the spores.
Eye glass lens paper is good source of sterile tissue paper. A box of
waxy tissue paper that deli's use to pick up donuts and rolls is another
excellent source of sterile tissue paper. Card stock (such as a recipe
card) is a bit easier to use later when you want to prepare a spore
syringe, but you have to expend the extra effort up front to sterilize it.
To use card stock, place in a 425 degree F. oven for 15 minutes. Let it
cool with a glass over it before you place the cap on it.
Once you have a spore print on the paper, remove the glass and cap.
Fold the spore print in half and seal the edges so air can not get in. A
piece of scotch tape on each side will do nicely. The spores will stay
viable for 18 months if they are kept in a cool, dry and dark spot. If
you place a small amount of desiccant in the bottom of a film container
and place a cotton ball on top of the desiccant, you have an ideal
container to keep the spore print. The cotton ball will keep the
desiccant from touchi o not lead to it, but actually act as deterrents. One of the most important actions of
cannabis is to quiet and stupefy the individual so that there is no tendency to
violence..."33] A Canadian physician, H. B. M. Murphy, is quoted by Chopra as a
summary on marijuana and crime, saying, "Most serious observers agree that cannabis
does not, per se, induce aggressive or criminal activities, and that the reduction of the
work drive leads to a negative correlation with criminality rather than a positive one."34]
The Chopras seem to provide thin fodder for the argument of the criminal inducement of
cannabis.
The same cannot be said for the work of Gardikas ("Hashish and Crime").35] A police
officer and head of the Greek Criminal Service in Athens, Gardikas reviewed 379 cases of
individuals who were arrested for publicly using cannabis between 1919 and 1950. In the
sample, 117 cases were first arrested for cannabis offenses and, after their release, became
"confirmed criminals," having been arrested for a total of 420 offenses in the period
studied. The fact that they became criminal only after their involvement with hashish
demonstrates to Gardikas as well as to law enforcement officers and to various other
commentators that hashish causes crime. Over 200 cases in the sample were already
criminal prior to starting the use of hashish, and the remaining fifty-three, after their arrest
for cannabis, did not commit any nonhashish crimes later.
We are not told how these cases were selected. Are they the only cannabis offense cases

that came to Gardikas' attention? Were they gathered more or less by accident? Were they
a result of random selection? Or were they selected for the very fact that their crime rate
was so high? We have no way of knowing. And what social universe does this group
represent: All hashish smokers in Greece? Not having this information, the methodology
seems dubious.
It is a certainty that arrested cannabis smokers are different from nonarrested ones, just
as arrested violators of any law are radically different from those who also commit the
same crimes, but who do not get arrested. The class factor operates here powerfully, just
to mention a single source of variation. The middle-class violator is far more able to avoid
detection through a combination of bias and caution, as well as a number of other factors,
such as police saturation in poorer areas. Working-class patterns of crime, particularly
certain kinds of crime, such as violent ones, are very different from those of the middleclass
user. To use arrested hashish smokers as an indication of the criminal potential
inherent in the drug is fallacious.
Also, it might very well be necessary to raise the question of the criminogenic effect of
the Greek penal system. Anyone arrested once becomes subject to greater scrutiny, and
therefore, almost of necessity, his crime rate will be a very holy city. It is also known for high quality hashish. Although hash
from the area had been readily available in the late 70's, the Soviet invasion of that country greatly reduced
exports. In 1985, an Afghan refugee told Nevil the (cannabis) fields around Mazar-i-Sharif were being
destroyed. ""That was what I needed to hear"" says Nevil, "" I caught the next plane to Pakistan to save the
strain"""
"""After being smuggled into a refugee camp in Peshawar while lying on the floor of a car, Nevil made contact
with a 30-year old Muslim fanatic who had a throbbing vein that ran from between his eyes straight up to his
forehead. The man took a lump of black hash out of his pocket and told Nevil that it had been processed by
his uncle, a man known as Mister Hashish. Surrounded by four men pointing machine guns at him, Nevil set
about negotiating with Mr. Hashish, a Mujahedin commander, and finally persuaded him to send a squad of
his men 280 miles into Soviet occupied territory and come back with two kilos of healthy Mazari seeds.
Nevil added "" He thought I was ridiculous because I didn't want to buy hashish or opium. Nobody had ever
come out to buy seeds, and at first he had no idea what I was talking about. I tried there trying to explain
genetics to this tribal hash leader in sign language. When he finally figured out what I wanted, he asked too
much money. I took a zero off his price and gave him 10% up front. He called me a bandit, but I had the
seeds four days later."" - Nevil Schoenbottom, High Times Magazine, March 1987"

Piece of crap - hard to clone. I grew a few seeds from a seedbank selling Sensi BB, and I’m glad I didn’t

While the 5-HT precursors tryptophan and
Early Girl 1-5-HTP cause an increase in serum prolactin
concentration, a combination of 1-5-HTP with a peripheral decarboxylase inhibitor was found to reduce the serum prolactin concentration. This combination seemed to behave like a DA agonist.
This effect is not produced by the decarboxylase inhibitor
per se. A possible explanation is that 5-HTP is converted to
Whitewidow 5-HT in CA-ergic neurons, that 5-HT supersedes the CA from
the stores, and that some of the CA reach the synaptic cleft and stimulate CA receptors.
Another possible explanation is that 5-HTP decarboxylase is centrally inhibited as well, and that an effect of 5-HTP itself is involved here. In view of the observations made it is doubtful whether the therapeutic effect of 5-HTP combined with a peripheral decarboxylase inhibitor in depressions and myoclonus can in fact be atributed to activation of central serotonergic systems.

Chapter 3
PROPAGATION
What is propagation?
Propagation: 1 The action of breeding or
Cannabis
Information Cannabis multiplying by natural
processes; procreation, generation, reproduction. 2 The action of
spreading an idea, practice, etc., from place to place. 3 Increase in
amount or extent; enlargement; extension in space or time.
Propagation is 'The Grow'. However most people treat
propagation as the actual events occurring between the planting of the
seed and the transplant of that seedling to the main grow environment.
Here we will treat propagation as the entire process of growing from
seed to harvest. Propagation also includes the logistics of the grow.
So what are you going to do? Are you going to buy a batch of
10 seeds and grow them all in one go? Are you going to then kill the
males and just smoke the females? Are you going to keep the males
and produce more seeds from the females? How many seeds can a
female plant produce? Should I plant my 10 seeds in one go? What
should I do to guarantee that all my seeds will grow? These are the
questions that you should be asking before you begin to grow and this
is where propagation logistics comes into play. The answers depend
largely on the size of your grow area and what your budget is.
Let’s say we have about $200/£180 to spend on seeds. We can
78
buy an expensive strain like a G13 cross and then we can grow the
G13 and produce more seeds from it. We can get anything between
100 and 2000 seeds depending on plant size and grow conditions. If
we grow this season for 4 months and at the end produce a lot of seeds
then we may never need to buy seeds for this strain again.
There is something else we can do called - CLONING.
Figure 3.1 - Here are some clones by Slowhand.
This is a technique whereby we can grow a number of plants
and select a good female. Then we can take cuttings from that female
mother plant and grow these cuttings into new plants. Clones always
keep the same sex and vigor of the mother plant. It is also possible to
79
create a garden of plants that will last for
wwwcanabis decades through cloning
from a single female mother plant. Cloning is discussed in detail in a
later chapter
For the new grower it is advised that you buy 10 seeds and
only germinate 3 the first time followed by another 3 the following
week followed by the last 4 in two weeks after that. This will allow you
some degree of experimentation as you may fail on your first attempt
to germinate the seeds because of lack of any previous cannabis
growing experience.
For people who have germinated seeds once before in the
past, it is advised th
"IMHO a Northern Lights would be best, easiest, and have the best high. This variety has been around for
years; it has great name recognition. It is disease free, and easy to grow. The yield is above average though
not perhaps quite as great as some of the Big Bud hybrids. It can be grown using any method including SOG,
SCROG. or bushy. An all around great strain." -Kohala
