As a chronic pain sufferer I had to make the choice to use cannabis for financial and health reasons. The constant use of opiates scare me. I don't want to have to have a liver transplant in my 60's because of constant use. So I studied up and decided the only logical choice was to grow my own medicine. I will save hundreds of dollars a year and the joy of seeing something grow seems therapeutic. I am about a month or so from my first harvest. I made some mistakes along the way in managing my crop. I have been able to bring one female to bloom and soon use. My initial cost were much less than I thought and the yield I predict will give me enough usable medicine for months if not a year. So if anyone just starting out wants advice on indoor growing, I am not expert but I feel what I have learned can be beneficial to the true green grower. I want to thank 420 Magazine because without this forum I would have nothing to show for my efforts.
