New Beginnings for Massachussetts and I

Well, keep in mind it wasn't the legislature that passed this law. It was a direct vote via ballot question. But remember, what is created by legislation can be destroyed by legislation. Of course they are also cowards, so hold your state reps accountable.

If it were up to the legislature, we wouldn't have a frickin thing. Heck, even the illegal growers want this law dead. It's hurting business.

But that aside, I recently built a new light bar. I used 12 xm-l2 cree 5w chips (a combo of 5k and 6.5k lights) on two 24" heatsink bars. It draws 65 watts at the wall and is a nice compliment to my 360W (at wall) blurple light. The shape is designed to let it come right up to the led light box without blocking it.

The output from this light exceeds the output from 2x4 foot t5's or 4x2 foot T5's. Plenty of broad spectrum light and around $115 in parts (including shipping).

I'm using it alone for early veg. Once the plants are bigger I'll turn on the blurple.

Nice! I would love to have something like that wrap around my mars 300, the Mars would fit right in the middle and i could hang both for more light!.....I always have issues with hanging the Mars and the CFL's, one is always in the way of the other.

Towns all around me are planning on bringing up opt out votes.

That means no retail establishments will be permitted. The proponents cite security concerns. Yeah, right. So we have Pharmacies with zero security stocking everything from controlled substances to needles. We have Banks with limited security and policies of "give up the cash without resistance" that have far more cash on hand then any storefront would. We have liquor stores that carry both large quantities and street values of alc products as well as large amounts of cash.

All three get robbed, even in sleepy little towns, yet nobody calls to shut them down or put razor wire around them.

Hypocrites all. Don't sleep through your town meetings this year. They will probably have zoning or other restrictions aimed at cannibals businesses.

It sure as hell is still federally illegal. makes NO sense.
this site just about sums it up:

WHO HOLDS THE TRUMP CARD, STATE OR FEDS?
(Trump~ purely coincidental, but ironic LOL)

Interesting since I have got 2 tickets for possession in California before Prop 64 passed, both times I fought it and used US Patent 6630507 as my defense, both time the judge threw out the ticket because the Feds have conflicting rules after reading the patent. The Feds can't call it schedule 1 (no medicinal value) and ALSO grant themselves a patent on the medicinal value of the plant, which is exactly what they have done. That doesn't stop cops/dea from trying to bust you illegally, but a good defense like showing the blatant hypocrisy of the federal government in court sure seems to get petty possession charges tossed out quickly. Not claiming it will work in every case, it was really the judges in my cases that had common sense and saw the hypocrisy, but it has worked for me for minor offenses.

Thats why I built it that way. I have a mars reflector series blurple light. I forget the exact model number but its the one with the four panels. Good light, just not a lot of white or cool white. And thegrowth setting is too much light for early veg. So this is a good compromise.

WOO HOO!!!!!!!!!!!....im with you. Pisses me off. My 23yo daughter would be living a life of misery and pain with her crohn's of not for cannabis. She had not lived a life for almost 20 years until she smoked cannabis for the first time. it was a MIRACLE. Docs pump her full of drugs that have side effects, dont work, and cost hundreds. she has one puff and she feels normal. but god forbid we mention that to her primary doctor, he looks at us like drug seeking losers. I have seen first hand what this stuff does, and I will fight to the goddamn death to supply it to my child. It is so expensive, and that is why I am here, to grow for my child so she can have a more normal life.

There's a dispensary in Boston that claims to have Obama Kush ... which might be useful for Crohn's. If she has a medical card they might be willing to sell her a clone. Cant find any legitimate seed stock. I can try to find the name again if you hit a wall.

If you are looking for high cbd strains, bohdi has some as well as bad dawg. There is a discussion in the bodhi thread about it. You can get them from great lakes genetics.

Thank you! For some reason blue dream does her wonders....the high THC completely gets rid of her nausea which is 80% of her problem, its debilitating and constant 24x7. My first seed order was for blue dream but the dispensary messed up and sent me Kush. We have an appointment at cannacare in Worcester on feb. 3rd to get her card. wish us luck!!

If you think any of these will be useful, I have seeds and I could re-order my grow sequence.

Dinafem ... Blue Widow
*Dinafem ... OG Kush
*Dinafem ... Strawberry Amnesia
*Dinafem ... Critical Cheese
*Dinafem ... Big Kush
HSO ... Blue Dream
*HSO ... chocolate Mint OG
*HSO ... Black D.O.G.
Dutch Passion AUTO Blackberry Kush
Digital Genetics ... Digital Dream
Digital Genetics ... White Fire Widow
Digital Genetics ... Grape Snow Train
Doc's Dank Seeds ... Triple Purple Rhino
Doc's Dank Seeds ... Bubble Party
*TH Seeds ... Original Bubblegum
*Barney's Farm ... AUTO Critical Kush
*G13 Lab ... Blueberry Gum
*Delicious Seeds ... Honeybells

The ones with *s are single seed freebees, so no idea what they are like or what pheno they'll be
Those in bold I have at least 5 seeds if they're fems and 12 if they're regular so it should be a good sample.

My plan was to create clones from each seed to establish a pheno pool for each strain.

Reason I ask is that... A lot of these companies I've found are over seas I don't like the fact of the shipping process and all that. Not to mention if order from the states then I know I'll get my order much faster as well.

After looking at the locations everyone has posted we're going to be hard pressed to make everyone happy about a location. Without going into specifics, we can do that in messaging, how would people feel about some of these places for a meet up ...

Somerville
Burlington
Natick/Framingham
Lowell
Worcester

Trying to think of places that are relatively easy to get to and have good places to get a bite and a drink. Please feel free to add any locations you think might work

If you've mentioned this I missed it, but what are you growing in? It looks like either soil or coca from the first pics but what's in your media to start is going to dictate what you're going to have to add.

hey buddy mainer here because we live on eastcoast shipping from seedmans was on 5-7 days come right to ny and then to us. Very quick considering. Also doing a hydro setup and those cheap meter just make the grows fail alway off calibration. Blue labs controllers are great outside of there failing led displays ugh..
