Thank you, I will check out Greenpoint Seeds out of Colorado.

I guess I just want to experience firsthand the difference between male & female plants so I can identify them as a grower and know how to deal with each type.

I am a little worried that if I start with feminized seeds, one of the plants will turn herm and I won’t catch it in time and it could pollinate my entire tent. That is why I am hesitant to start with feminized seeds, because there is a risk of them ruining the whole grow (which will be very small anyway), as opposed to regs which would probably result in a 50/50 ish male to female ratio and the males can then be quickly and easily weeded out (pun intended). 😉

Thank you for this advice! Yes I do wonder about the humidity because it is so dry here. I definitely want to give the plants enough humidity without introducing mold or any kind of rot of course.

What a great idea about switching the light cycle to be on overnight! That never occurred to me!

Yeah I like the idea of keeping it simple. I do not want to overcomplicate things or mess with the plants too much. Hope I will be able to chill and let the plants do their thing with minimal interference. We shall see. lol.

Hi Mr. Grow It!

Thank you for the link to the seed resources.

I have not actually purchased any seeds yet so I am definitely going to check those links out.

I’ve been a little scared of ordering seeds only to have a website take payment and never send us anything (which according to some forums happens fairly often!)
I have not been able to figure out a way to tell which of the seed sites are legit and trustworthy. Really appreciate your guidance with that!

Specifically which Spider Farmer bar light would be best for a 2×4 small tent in desert heat months?

Hi jd187, oh no! I am sorry to hear about your little sister.
I hope the medicine you grew did help her and did offset some of the expense.

Yeah I sometimes wonder if any groups like NORML might be trying to lobby or advocate
to get the insurance companies to cover medical marijuana for cancer patients.
I know part of why it couldn’t be covered previously was due to it being classified
as a Schedule 1 drug for so long, but now that the legal classification might be changing,
I haven’t seen any movement toward MMJ being covered by insurance like other medicines.
Which puts those of us coping with cancer or cancer survivorship in a tough spot.
I also haven’t seen any compassionate care dispensaries willing to help cancer patients
in our city. I’ve reached out to pretty much all of the dispensaries here.

There was one RSO discount program that we found but it was
based on the stage of cancer he was in, it felt kind of intrusive
and they did not even offer that much of a discount.
It also felt like they were viewing him
with dollar signs in their eyeballs,
not really caring about his situation.
Also, although he will take RSO as a bridge for days when he runs out of flower,
it’s not his preferred medicine.
For whatever reason, smoking flower is what works best for him
(which is of course, also the costliest.)

I did find out about a couple of dispensaries in California
that deliver free MMJ to cancer patients & survivors,
but nothing like that exists
in our city. (Might be a good idea for a nonprofit in Vegas
if anyone has the energy to start one here.)

Thanks for the advice on the Spider Farmer bar style light.
I will probably try that. And yeah I’m not going to cheap out on seeds.
It probably is worth the investment to get high quality seeds.

Would like to have at least one successful grow under my belt before trying autos. 😉

Also if anyone has any used starter grow equipment for sale please message me.

I am wondering if LED grow lights would work OK and possibly produce less heat esp. when summer hits?

We just want to do a small grow, maybe 3 mature plants to begin with, so small grow tent would be OK for us,
if anyone has any recommendations how to acquire one for inexpensive startup cost. Thank you so much for reading.
