Are You a Marijuana (Plant) Abuser?

I visited an indoor marijuana garden because the grower was my brother’s friend, begging for help because his plants were dying and he couldn’t figure out why.


Went to his grow room and sadly witnessed the following: Pieces of potato chips on the floor. Miracle-Gro plant food containers. CFLs and T5’s…no actual hydroponics lighting. Broken branches. No vent fans or oscillating fans. No heater, air conditioner, dehumidifier. Fox Farm Ocean Forest soil bags. Pathetic plants in trays, sitting in stagnant water that looked like it had a film of oil on the surface. An ashtray overflowing with roaches and cigarette butts. A porn magazine.


Was I surprised that the marijuana plants were covered in mites, leaves drooping and twisted, stems and stalks purple? Not at all. Whenever I see a marijuana garden where the grower isn’t using HID lights, climate control, hydroponics nutrients, venting, and clean grow room hygiene, I find marijuana plants that are starving, thirsty, infected, infested, polluted, abused, neglected, and tortured.. ... Nutrient Systems" that are comparable to the little $3.50 bottles of granulated ... No Shock · Piranha Beneficial Fungi · Rhino Skin · Tarantula Beneficial ...

My plant is doing fine with CFL and fertiliser, I use an organic remedy for bugs and fresh air from the window feeds the plant CO 2.
But yeah, time will tell on the yield.
Having said that, smoking and no fresh water is simply lazy and uneducated behaviour.
I think grow methods aside, basic love is one of the main ingredients to keeping a healthy plant.
No smoking, check regular for bugs, keep water fresh, spend time exchanging CO2 for O2, Care when repotting, all basics of gardening.

Yeah man... I only feed my hydroponic lighting the best nutes. No granule bullshit.

My plants used to smoke a pack a day... I put them on the patch though.

In my books by Jorge and Ed on marijuana cultivation nothing was ever said about there being any "actual hydroponic lighting". My T-5s have done me fine, I could get more product using HID lights(maybe) but the heat, extra electric cost, lack of head room and other factors make this ideal until I got enough bucks for LED.

lol, some of my experiments have been pretty torturous to plants :) (putting a plant into a cupboard with zero air movement or light, just giving it water to see how long it will survive was one of them that springs to mind).

My hydro lights use a 64 part nutrient system. If you get some of the solution on your skin... resin will grow out of your skin... for reelz.

I visit 20 grow rooms a day... when I get home at the end of the day my face hurts from laughing at what I saw.

I use hydro bulbs only... Before I plug in my bulbs, I roll them in a bed of crushed Hortilux bulbs. Then, I flood the bed with a 1 year on/1 second off gold flakes solution.

I am a master marijuana grower.. My little brothers friends cry themselves to sleep every night, wondering if tomorrow will be the day that I rescue their miserable plants from the hell that is the average growers marijuana garden.

It is so lonely here at the top. I can barely keep up with all of the grow room rescues I am executing on a daily basis.

After I die, there is a good chance that marijuana will become extinct..
