Kyle Kushman Is One Of The Top Marijuana Growers On The Planet The first time I met Kyle Kushman was when Ninjasmoker and I went to the High Times Medical Cannabis Cup in Los Angeles. Kyle was a featured speaker on the growers panel. I have grown marijuana off and on for a long time, and so has most of my family, so I am always skeptical of ‘expert growers.’ I always feel that real experts aren’t really out in the open, at least in Oregon. However, Kyle Kushman is [Continue Reading]
Are You a Smart Marijuana Gardener? While you may think your system is unbeatable, the chances are that you may have missed something. Germinating cannabis seeds is indeed illegal and unless you live in a country where it isn’t, you need to never forget it. The tragedy of this is that you probably grow just enough for yourself and aren’t harming anyone with your private (probably indoor) garden packed with your favourite strains. The police possibly won’t see it this way, so you are best to do all you can [Continue Reading]

I always refer to spider mites as one of the three marijuana plant plagues, with the other two being powdery mildew and heat. Any of those three items can ruin your medical marijuana garden in a hurry. Fortunately, there is quite a bit of information about spider mites and marijuana plants. Below are a few articles that I found by legendary marijuana grower Ed Rosenthal, along with some YouTube videos [Continue Reading]

One of the most important decisions faced by an indoor gardener is what type of grow light to use. Plants need specific types of light in order to photosynthesize. Leafy, green plants need light from a different spectrum than do seedlings and flowering or fruit-bearing plants. Metal Halide, High Pressure Sodium, Fluorescent and Incandescent are a few of the available options for grow lights. Some produce light on the ‘blue’ spectrum, while other produce light on the ‘red/orange’ spectrum. Full-spectrum Fluorescent lights are just that, but since plants do not [Continue Reading]
Do Power Companies Call Law Enforcement If A House Uses A Lot Of Electricity? One of the biggest urban legends in the marijuana world is that if your electricity bill is too high the power company will tell the cops and they will raid your marijuana garden.

And if so, how much electricity is ‘too much’ before you come up on the radar? Let [Continue Reading]
