Cannabis and Marijuana Hangout

I did not supply the seeds but I spread a lot of them around! Check out the Jardin de Gatos in Barcelona

Or rest stops on the highways through Spain.

I ran out by the time I got to Gibraltar.

There were hundreds of us doing it at the time... we would gather at the Greenhouse Coffeeshop in the Centrum of Amsterdam to talk about it. At that time you could sit at a table outside and smoke, but you had to buy coffee. Ha - it was Kaffe Verkeerd... but good. Always with a tiny cookie.

 

I am sorry to hear this.

I wish I was nearby to get you a better source... but now I am down in Baja Sur 1,600 miles away

When I managed a dispensary in Lake County, California, I always had something for those in need. I gave discounts all the time to locals who were in poverty. There were many. But still the place made a large profit. We gave away over two pounds of cannabis every month to those who would verify their status. That is why we called ourselves the Compassion Center.

 

I also believe the war on drugs has affected the availability and price of food up there. With less workers from Mexico, less gets picked, more goes to waste. Spoiled rich Americans can't do field labor... they are too weak.

An amazing amount of your food in California is now coming from Mexico... the farms and vineyards down here are simply amazing. We enjoy a lot more fresh food here than I could in NorCal... shopping at Safeway would break the bank for sure. I was always at the Discount Grocers.

 

That is great news!!!

You may want to consider LED lighting to save electricity.

Have you got any good growbooks? I helped create a few... here is the best one:



https://www.amazon.com/Marijuana-Horticulture-Outdoor-Medical-Growers/dp/187882323X/

I took most of the photos, helped edit, and designed the book and layout. Took five years. Wish I could send you a copy but they are all in storage up north. What is doesn't cover much is LED lighting, as it wasn't developed yet at the time this was done. But everything else is rock solid information.

Happy Growing! And Viva Tuscon! When I lived in Silver City, New Mexico I would drive to Tuscon to go shopping at Costco and stop by Catalina park on 4th Avenue North and score something from the locals easily But that was the year 2000.

 

I am happy to hear you are moving forward on your project. We need more home growers!

The book covers lighting and spectrums with many charts that I designed. It is a wealth of information! And yes, the source is not the main thing, but the intensity it produces with what spectrums.

I sure like the Toads. My friend uses them in Indiana (shhh...) and is happy. The savings on power is tremendous, and the heat output is a fraction of traditional lighting. We used CFLs on 24/7 for vegging babies and clones, then moved the plants into the main flowering room which was lit just 10 hours daily so flowering would commence.

Strains are a different subject, the book covers many strains and talks about genetics extensively. You might find it a great handbook in the garden itself.

I only have the ebook version here for reference, but if you have questions this is a good place to ask!

 

This used to be the liveliest section! But legalization came along...

But there really is a need to talk about growing your own. And I hope others can read and learn more.

It is great to see such interest here!

 

News flash!

I just read in the UK Guardian (my favorite news source) that the Spanish have outlawed the Cannabis Clubs in Barcelona!!!

NOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!

How sad.

This will just drive the market back to the underworld. At least in a club you could get some reputably clean good pot. On the street you often get crap.

Living in Barcelona for a few months was an amazing experience. I HIGHLY recommend it as a destination, even tho the clubs may be closed, boo hoo...

Where else can you see sights like this?
