Hello all, I've been lurking for several weeks reading and researching. I'm 30, male, US. I've never posted anything, on any site before, ever lol. I don't have social media and enjoy being outdoors and helping others. I regularly burn flower for its mellowing effects on my sometimes intense personality haha...that being said, my goal is to grow indoors (attic, non legal state), for the purposes of making medicinal concentrated cannabis oil for my family. Mainly my brother and father. My younger brother, whose life is controlled by constant battles with painful IBS, doesn't smoke or drink and lives a relatively healthy lifestyle. My father's brother had prostate cancer two years ago and had chemo and ultimately his prostate was removed. My father just had a Dr. visit and was told his numbers are climbing and it needs attention. That was when I decided to learn everything I could on how to make my own oil. I have decided to grow my own rather than use what I get locally for burning so that I can control which strain I use. I have finally decided to make a username so I may have a place to ask questions. I'm a smart guy that's pretty handy but it is indeed nearly overwhelming for a first time grower who wants to make quality medicine. Another factor is that my brother may not be receptive to using a cannabis derivative as he works at a church. My father is receptive, I haven't spoken with my brother yet. Neither my father nor brother would want to feel psychoactive effects, so I have been researching tacking the oil. First thing I need help with is choosing a strain. I really liked the characteristics of critical cure from barneys farm but it is mainly indica and I am just not informed enough on how this will affect them as they go about their day. (work, etc.) IIRC using the tacking method will eliminate any undesired effects as the oils pass the blood/brain barrier instead of being processed by the liver, so critical cure may still be a viable option. Anyhow, I will be making my own grow tent with visqueen (thin mil plastic), duct taped at the seams. Ventilation through the roof vent on gable end of house with carbon filter for odor. Please excuse me if I am writing too much for an introduction but I am not very internet/blog savvy. Any links or comments on comprehensive information concerning inexpensive grow room builds and grow procedures along with strain information would be greatly appreciated...if I don't respond right away it is bc I work construction an hour from home, so most of my time is non computer time lol.
So far I have found this place to be very welcoming and helpful, which is so refreshing.
Thanks in advance!
Love and positive vibrations
