Glad your troubles are behind you, Billy.:blowbubbles:

Cant wait to see you growing again.

Maybe in a few months I can also be a Desert Grower too.

Glad I found this thread..hope to learn a lot then contribute some day. Anyone try BACKCOUNTRY's earthbox in the ground method? I know he's a pnw grower, but he's in a hot dry part of Oregon. It seems ingenious to me.

no no not all behind me still got court looming in the future got my preliminary hearing on July 7th hopefully then the da's ready to recharge me with simple possession like should a happened in the first place and return my gear but this can take a very long time from what i understand 12 months and a day from my arrest after my attorney files some kinda motion or whatever attorneys file he has about 10 different things he's filing at this hearing one is the demand of the release of my property such as my lights and my work tools all the shit they took outta here but the marijuana

hopefully that gets my stuff back the point i think ppl here need to take from this is the way that medical patients are policed here needs to change they already got a law here that within that law it's in plain black and white what the officers are to do when confronted with a medical grow but they don't treat it like a medical grow if they find say a scale or money or baggies your through they're taking everything you got weather your in compliance or not has already happened here more than once so when does Nevada stand up and say no more and change the law so that its not a trap becasue thats all it is right now it's been perverted by law enforcement to be a big ole money trap, they get ya coming in and then they try to get ya for sales and trafficking is how they justify the seizures because you had a scale o how am i supposed to know if i got 2 ounces or not, whats supposed to be your legal medicine they say you can flower out 3 plants per card 2 cards per house so we get 6 in flower but were only allowed to have 2 ounces of dried weed on us and if your growing 6 plants and getting 2 ounces you better just kill yourself right now instead of let the power companies and whomever pick your bones clean
very disgusting sorry about the bad grammar i put the commas there to try not to confuse anyone it was an add in thought it was important that even supposed "legal medical" growers to beware of whats happening here and I'm sure there's the ones that wanna believe i was doing more than I'm letting on i got nothing to hide hell if i had a scanner as soon as i got the police reports I'd post them lol the law enforcement and they've told me that themselves they view this as the wild wild west and they're the modern day gunslingers
so soc not all the troubles are behind me but i still am a legal patient and don't care i will grow again i will no matter how many times the cops wanna kick my door off the hinges i got a medical reason to do this according to a medical doctor and so does the misses so they can put that in there pipe and smoke it so far i've gotten nothing but support from other medical patients becasue of the donations i've given out if it wasnt for that i'd probablly not be able to do this if i was footing the bill on my own no way this ordeal the last time here bankrupt me after using my hard earned money from work and unemployment insurance and saving it up to buy into this and then having to take what was left over and bail outta jail buy a lawyer get my bills paid all of this has put my family in a position of having now to rely on that unemployment check if it dont come we dont live plain and simple

B-Country is in Klamath I remember reading in one thread. He needed a way to not go to the spots too many times. He tested these "Earth Holes", and I guess it worked well..They're a self-watering home-made Earthbox in the ground. He has good pics in his album titled "Earth Holes."

That whole ordeal with the police sounds like a nightmare. I hate when the laws are written so stupidly that they get people in messed up situations. For example here you can only have 3 in flower and 3 in veg. Any clones and you're in trouble!
That's why I'm venturing into the true way to grow..outside..FTW

Yea Edison is rolling in his grave right now..

oh ya ya lived in the kfalls area myself and ya its a high mountain desert i was a juvenile actually locked up at klamath lake county youth ranch out in bonanaza so i wasnt growing anything while out there i dunno where your at but here in vegas i wouldnt even try something like this it might work good up north but it's so much cooler up there and here in vegas i'd only try an outdoor grow one if my neighbors couldnt see right into my backyard and two i'd only flower it outside and i'd only do it during the fall and or winter months here keeping them in pots so i could bring them in and out with the freeze i just don't think your going to get anything of quality outta this kinda heat even if they did make it all year just to try out outdoor gardening here i put 5 tomatos outside and back home these things would be monsters by now but because of how hot it gets during the day and what not even with ample water the heat and the sun cooks the leaves and they just end up turning yellow and falling off so thats answered my question if its to hot and dry to grow outdoors during the spring/summer time the only thing i could see being done really during the summer or spring time outdoors would be veggin plants out other than that i wouldnt even waste your time man and if you ever plan on running hydro dont let anyone talk you into not buying a chiller oh you can use 2 liter pop bottles with frozen water on the inside oh ya that'll work thing is here you only need 100 of them 2 liter bottles :)
 
Any plant that gets a mix of at least 12 hours darkness and shade will flower.
I know this cuz I used to throw plants out onto my patio in the summer and they only were getting about 6 hours of direct sunlight and they were flowering. I googled it and found out that was why.

wow is this why my plants willnt flower becasue i run my light 24 hours a day well jesus george don't be putting me on blast now :)

same here...

Billy- I'm in Colorado where it's hot and dry. Not to the point of NM, AZ, NV, or the like, but still like 90-100, 20-30% humidity all through June, July, and most of August. My dad's done a couple grows here, and he's got some very low yielding plants. They seemed airy, and loose besides getting plenty of light in the spot they were at. Water is an issue for sure.

BB Hope all is well.

O yea almost forgot! I woke up to no elect. this morning. I talked to my neighbor and the power had been out from 6:30ish till 9:30ish. I got problems.

Don't know if there gonna make it.

Everything died. I've been shut down for a while. I'm out of seed and have no access to clones. I recently took a trip out to LA. I've got my CA med recommedation, I couldn't find a club that had or would sell clones. They all said something about a law change in May. I've been shut down to long. It is stupid hot here in PHX but electric bills be damned!! Any ideas or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. O yea and my first outdoor attempt has been eaten by havalina.
 
well after all this time i'm back bitches :) well got the cuts in clone box i went to take a gander at "the plants that were being grown for me" and noticed they werent there no bigie i just told him let me take some cuts then and i'll root them myself whatever no biggie then i realized that after i got raided i let him borrow my clone gel so i had to go buy another bottle of it not that i really neded it i suppose water and rapid rooters works just fine as well ahhh the horse shit we all buy into :)
 
yeah i've come to the conclusion over the years that it's all pretty much the same shit hell just plain ole water works to root cuttings so :) but yeah i can help you out just ask that you have a card is all
