the kind canna collective - med grow make over

although the plants are doing their thing during the dark, and the leaves are not in use and drooping, they did suffer a lil bit of under feeding coupled with over watering......
another bud shot of how advanced they are in such a short period.......
dark green dense and stocky........
these are 2 weeks and look like 3 weeks already because of the 36 hours of shock flowering....
so 2 weeks into bloom and 2/3 of evey branch is removed to dispose of popcorn and increase air flow and light penetration and make parasites lives harder to get established....
this is the check valve on the return pump.. to prevent any water returning into the return rez.....
i always cover all my containers for many reasons. they make the room look/feel cleaner, they reflect usable light to the plants, keep root zone cooler. all that with some plastic........
in the rez is the circulation hose that sucks nutrient solution form the bottom right of the rez (pictured below) and sends it back to the furthest most far corner of the raz to get amazing mixing/aeration......the 2 inch tube is the return from the second half of the brain which sits in the middle of the room pictured before.....the thrid line is water source, which mixes rain water and ro water 50/50.......
then the pump timer rely which turns on the feed and turns off the drain and vice versa respectfully. i simple digital timer controls the pump relay in the ballast box.....
here is half of the brain of the system. there is a feed line, and a siphon and a flow valve for the solution
shock flowering (36 hours of darkness)- this shock period aids transplant recovery, activates hormones and the plants immune sytem. what a way to start the race, all by freely unplugging the timer.
shock flowering (36 hours of darkness)- the yellow is a sign of extreme growth. and always a welcomed one at that......
shock flowering (36 hours of darkness)- the system was designed so the plants acclimate to the room, not the other way around. this provides even structure and enjoyable enviroment for the grower and the growing lol.........
shock flowering (36 hours of darkness)- this is the biggest, wow this one is gona pack it on.....
shock flowering (36 hours of darkness); check out the aura on this one. she really was glowing in the dark, big time......
shock flowering (36 hours of darkness)- the shock actaully also allows a hasty recovery from the moving 36 hours before. look at the difference
shock flowering (36 hours of darkness)- the leaves stretch for the light big time
shock flowering (36 hours of darkness)- the treatment also gives the plants 3 days worth of flowering hormone to shock them into bloom
shock flowering (36 hours of darkness)- during the shock, plants stretch inches
shock flowering (36 hours of darkness)- had a lil leak, il shim her up 1/2 inch asap
day 1 flower: an aisle shot. compare it to the last crop, hard to believe. no drippers , floods and cloggs. now the plants will spend the next 36 hours in darkness for reasons explained in the next segment........
day 1 flower: the biggest plant in the room, too big to fit the pic lol
day 1 flower: dark green and lush foliage make for optimal specimens
day 1 flower: this lovely lady is the definitve size for flippng into bloom phase
day 1 flower: this one looked the worst, plants dont like being moved from the comfort of the veg room
day 1 flower: plants just got brought in, and look a lil shook up
hes a lights out pic of the bunch a day before transplanting
these are the prevegged west coast sour diesel plants, half the size of the plants used before
there is a pump in the unit to make sure water level gos down to within an inch of the floor, and keeps the bin from overflowing as well......
this is the brain of the system. i regulates the ebb and flow of the feeding cycles. the pump outside hauls most of the water once the buckets flood.......
the whole room with new plumbing
this is 2 rows, wow what a difference eh? so clean and symetrical
this is all the new plumbing
i made them buy a dehu twice the size of their last one. my plants eat a ton, and transpire it all out at night. grow tip: plants suffering from too high relative humidity% dont smell, lack resin and are really dark green with alot of red hair......

this is the new lighting deign with matching pot spacing
this is the old inefficient lighting scheme
good riddens!
the other half
this is the old grid stripped of buckest and drippers
big flimsy plants are a waste of space, alll be it i double the clients return with weight and quality combined, my goal is tripling it, and lowering operating costs to boot.
this a better shot. the plants were too tall when they came into the room to bloom.
this gent is 6-6 330 pounds, this is the average size of the plants when i took over his system
after dealing with drippers, clogging, floods, droughts and all the other bs ive opted to convert the room to the some med-man method.
so this is the history of the room:

-averaged .75 pounds per kilowatt for the last year in 15 gallon pots whith a quality of 6 out of 10 on the qaulity scale.

- the patient upgaded to hydro and got 27 pounds 0f 7.5 outa 10 quality from 1 grow then called me. in one crop i got 46 pounds of 8.5 outa 10 quality. we should get 80 pounds from 40 lights

-im not into this system, and the maintenance and variables cost labor, quality and medicine. my objectives are to lower maintenance, decrease labor and increase yield and quality. these are my staple traits as a grower/helper.....

med-mans MGM Genetics

med grade marijauna genetics:

med-mans head band - a very special sfv og kush x the original sour diesel. 3 phenos, all amazing: 60-77 days subject to grower, conditions and phenotype.

pain killer -(conkushion x og kush). powerfull, the name speaks for itself. 60-70 days.

purple pain killer - (conkushion x purple kush). the afghani in the pk mom brings color, stoutness and vigour to the cross. 65-70 days.

west coast sour diesel -(my sour d mom x conkushion). one of the strongest smelling strains today. sour smell will penetrate concrete. look for diesel fuel smelling plants in vegetative growth to know which is the definitive keeper plant.

lime kush - (sour bubble x x18). the x18 adds vigour and girth to the slower smaller and very stinky sour bubble. the perfect hybrid. very potent. sour bubble is accepted to be stronger then og kush. 40-50 days.

conkushion - (og kush x afghani). the best for migraines especially for post concussion syndrome. this plant can be smoked all day with increased effect. zero immunity. 45-65 days. the longer the better but can be taken earlier for a more up beat effect.

med-mans master kush - (elite master kush clone x conkushion). look for the biggest fastest growers with the piney smell for the definitive phenotype. 45-65 days.

insomnia - (mazar i sherif x med-mans headband) - the mazar brings a lights out effect to the strength of the headband.

jack tripper - (karma jack x conkushion) - the jack herer adds so much to the cross. smell, look, size and effect being the most prominent features, a perfect blend of 2 power houses old and new. 60-75 days.

jack band - (karmas jack x med mans headband) - two classics unite, a perfect blend of power and strength. very complimenting parents. 70-80 days.

sour jackle - (sour bubble x karmas jack). arguably two of the most potent kinds . the jack invigorates the smaller slower sour bubble. more then a couple keeper types, subject to the palate of the producer, 56-70 days

medical license success!!!!!!!!!!!!

medical license success!!!!!!!

though medicine and such are usually confidential, after reading and posting in a recent article, ive decided to take the bull by the horns and back my posts and create a resource for canadians whom are entitled by law access to marijuana for medical purposes.

this info was provided care of The Kind Canna Collective: truthfulness compassion tolerance

to contact this non-profit society(landlords, lisencees, growers, patients etc) you can reach
the med-man at: www.growyourownmedicine.blogspot.com

this post is not for the manipulation of system, but of ourselves to a system for our health and benefit as a whole.

i hope that this does not break any rules or guidelines in ic mag, because i will just describe my situation, and be open to comments and or question pertaining to the topics of topics in canada.

1- research the web or anywhere for info on how marijuana helps you and your ailments.keep a record of the origin of the strain that helps you most, and why. keep a journal of your use and how it compares to the study refernce material.

2- avoid eating anything artificial:aspartame, gmo foods, flouride, colors, msg, non "organic", processed, flavours etc etc read the goddam labels people

3- start a form of meditation. i recommend falun gong aka falun dafa. but anything will do. keep a medical journal of how it helps you mind, body and soul. anything will do from tai chi to seated stillness.

4- eat only the rawest most natural("organic") forms of food. the closer to the sun in the food chain the better. avoid any corporate meats, especially chicken. do your best. if you realy are sick, you will want to feel better, no?

5- find out the best way to take the cannabis that helps you the most:vapor and eating are prefered to doctors, smoking, butter, budder whatever. keep a record in your personal med Journal.

6- most doctors believe they know all there is to know about the universe and peoples biology(post secondary indoctrination), except cannabis. they are told its harmfull, addictive and just evil. this is where your own research, studies and proof come into play

7- read "the medical mafia"
take all your photocopies, research material, your journal and a balls out attitude to your doctor. make sure to have alll of your mmap forms filled out by you minus their own signature.

8- face your doctor with confidence, will, intent and determination, like you are talking to achild, because this is their knowledge about this ancient medicine. tell them about and show them your documentation on centering your diet, mind body and soul with meditation, and show the proof and studies of your own and scientists on how your particular starin suits your needs, quoting from your journal. DO NOT FLINCH IN YOUR CONVICTIONS.

9- explain that this starin, coupled with all your other life changes are your equation for well being, abd that you want control over the medicine you take by growing it yourself, and that as a canadian you have a human right to this ancient form of naturalk remedy. which will also help in your mind body soul meditation routines. give them the papers and tell them to sign,. that you are healing holistically and need holistic medicine, and reject any synthetic treatments. give them the papers and TELL them to sign. if they wont, you have a human right to a referal to a doctor whom they have to find for you to sign them. if they refuse, you have to tell them you will be forced to take them to the human rights commision courts for breaching your canadian right to marijuana as medicine.

10- with confidence and knowledge on your side, there wont be much more the doctor can do but sign or give you a referal to someone they will.

this is a very vague description of my personal experience. if you give the doctor power over you by asking what they think, you will be rejected, becuase bringing hearsay to a doctor with no proof of it is bogus in the scientific world. doctors perceive pot as stated earlier, so telling them its this wonder drug that cures you alone will not fly. be smart, you are human, take care of business. doctors are just humans with a title. just like anyone else. know your body, take steps to knowing it more, they cannot argue with science and your case studies. THEY CANNOT REFUSE YOUR HEALTH AND WELL BEING IN A HOLISTIC MANNER. D

THIS THREAD IS OPEN FOR ANY QUESTIONS OR COACHING FOR SICK PEOPLE TO GAINING ACCESS TO LEGAL CANADIAN MEDICAL MARIJUANA, THANKS

med-mans 4 steps to whole-istic, organic, self treatment.

the awareness that one is responsible for their own well being and fulfillment is paramount to healing the mind, body and soull. try to focus your energy inward rather then outward for answers/solutions in any ailing issue in life. keep 2 things in mind when you take your first steps to self improvement.

- the fact that everything in our daily lives is just a habit. negative behavior relies on routines to stay strong. the best way to shatter bad habits is by removing just one of the many components. the key word here is discipline. self discipline is the foundation of a more meaningfull, and vibrant existance. never believe or tellyourself there is nothing that you can chenge in your life, becuase we all can start or stop anything at the drop of a hat. just focus on your boundlessness, not your limitations, and you can apire to heal or be anything.....

-be cognizant of the fact that it takes the same amount of energy to hurt your self as it does to heal yourself. the impact of self healing is not just going to impact you but the earth as a whole. your relationship with the earth and its inhabitants will send ripples of positivity into a society plagued by self doubt, judgement, drama, violence and aggression. when you choose a more healthy existance, you will realize that you will soon be supporting your wellbeing anfd the wellbieng of others also trying to better this earth. our environment is a product of us, lets do our best to make it more enjoyable experience.......

STEP 1- meditation and exorcise. (stopping the inner chatter)

i strongly urge anyone to do falun gong as it has changed my journey more then any other meditation/traditional exorcise , and falun dafa is also very easy for anyone with a medical condition but anything will do from martial arts to yoga; hiking to the treadmill. get the heart rate up, energy flowing and stopping the internal dialog. i notice a quiet existance is also a peacefull one. meditation calms the mind to allow for a more natural existance, where on can draw his/her colusions from observation not subjectivity.

STEP 2- a natural, raw diet.

things to eat regularly: hemp and all its marvelous forms, organic as possible.whole oats and grains, nuts and fruits and veggies, legumes and beans etc. eat closest to the sun as possible. coffees, teas and spices from organic or fair trade sources.

foods to avoid:READ ALL THE LABELS! everything artificial from sweeteners to presevatives and colours, especially aspartame (nutrasweet), flouride and. if its not real dont eat it. glucose, fructose and white sugars. msg is awful as well. frozen or cold foods. meat of all kinds. animals suffer and waste from animal farms destroy our ecosystem. all genetically modified and altered foods. monsanto soya products contribute to pesticide poisoning and rainforest clear cutting. all commercial coffe and buproducts should be avoided as well. corporate soft drinks are every bad as well.

-drink 600ml-100ml hot fluids in the morning, 1 hour before breakfast. then with every meal. keeping the vital organs warms aids digestion inso rerouting energy the the immune system and glandular and organ health. keeping a hot inner core is so key to healing and helping yourself, and is a very easy thing to do.

STEP 3- intramuscualr stimulation, accupuncture or accupressure.

depending on your ailment, a weekly to bi weekly visit to one of these practitioners will improve your life dramatically

STEP 4 - the tree of life (cannabis) and its million and 1 uses.

finding a strain specific to your condition(s) is very important. some plants and their side effects may be detrimental to you. depressed people should stay away from drowsy sleepy plants, and stick to more energetic and uplifting types, as the opposite is true, hyperactive people shouls stick more stoney plants then cerebral highs in most cases.

sleepy plants- afghanis and norther indian/mountanous variteties are good for sleep, meditative hunger/appetite, nausue etc. not the most social

uplifting energetic plants- hazes and sativas. equtorial plants have a more cerebral and energetic high. more social in nature for the active user. mexiacan, columbian, thai, jamaican and african sativas/ hazes are awsome befor e a run, hike, jog, work out etc. anything active.

pain killers - hashplants (kushes from afgahnistan.pakistan). pain killing properties of these types are amazing. the edge taken off from head, muscle, ligament, back aches. any damaged or torn joints, tendons and ligaments. the effect is strong, and longlasting. lokk for the more fuely/hashy/skunky specimens.

hashish and oil (extracts) and baked goods.

the psycho active effects of hash or oil.resin from sativas and indicas are really seen more with taste and smell then anything. i prefer oil and hash smoked or eaten to to its very clear yet extremely strong effect. without alot of the side effects like munchies, burnout, paranoia and other common side effects of cannabis consumption. oil smoked or eaten immediatly gives me pain relief and a relaxed feel. eating any baked cannabis is also very powerful as the nature of effect thc changes when cooked.....

conclusion:

all in all, making positive changes with your lifestyle is easy once started, and the rewards for yourself and the universe in and outside of you is priceless, and more then worth the effort taken.....
