But Why Autoflowers?
Posted on July 11 2023
Autoflowers, quite simply, do not get enough love for what incredible offerings they bring to the table. Even beyond small home grows, they are fantastic for larger cultivators of photoperiods as you can grow a “bonus round” between crops outdoors or sometimes even indoors. Stores that just got their greenlight to grow can get a harvest in ASAP - selling their harvests several months earlier.

What's up With Home Grow?
Posted on September 01 2022
My wife has a small vegetable garden. She grows everything from seed. She got that habit from me. Cuttings/clones always seem to have aphids or other pests or disease. Her pride and joy: heirloom tomatoes. Other favorites include radishes, zucchini and herbs like rosemary and basil. That being said, she buys plenty of organic, locally sourced produce at the supermarket -- the home grown produce she grows at home does not cannibalize supermarket produce sales.

Using Fish Sh!t and PK9-18
Posted on November 05 2021

WHAT IS HOME GROW?
Posted on May 10 2021
First, let’s start with what it’s not: "home grow" is not a side hustle. Currently, there are no commercial licenses available to the legal home grower.

A Mississippi Stoner at 50
Posted on January 01 2018
North America’s largest legal/sanctioned cannabis farm turns 50 next year. Growing Cannabis remains illegal at the Federal level, largely because the argument was made that it holds no medicinal value (neither THC nor CBD) and that the plant is mainly used for recreational drug use; serving as a “gateway.” Never mind that all of this has been disproved.
What’s fascinating about the 50-year marker is that half a century ago, despite all these protestations, U.S. Government sanctioned a massive “pot farm” at the University of Mississippi. Presumably due to its pharmacy program.
