Colorado considers huge legal weed tax

112. Some of the above remarks are somewhat on the mark.

I offer you this. I began growing my own back in the late 70's. I grew outdoors and grew very good quality weed and got very good yields. I also have a degree in Horticulture. Here's what you do. Start your seed indoors right around New Years. Use Florescent lights, full spectrum, down close to the seedlings. By the end of February you have plantlets that are sizeable enough to take cuttings. After rooting, which takes up to 10 days. Put them under a 12 hour light. You have been using an 18 hour light on the other plants. Within a few weeks, the male cuttings will show up. You can then destroy the original male plants, leaving you with nothing but female plants. While you now budding plants are growing their buds, the original plants, still under 18 hour lighting, have grown sufficiently so that you can start taking cuttings off you now proven females. By the middle of April, you can now sample those first cuttings that you took which are nicely budded. Rate them. Now, you are continuing to 18 hour you now proven "mothers" and can continue cuttings until it is safe to put them outside under natural light. Meanwhile, if you wish, you can continue the cutting process if you want to have an indoor grow and keep the very best mothers over into the next year.
Keep your outdoor girls going until at least the "hard frost". If you should happen to have a green house, put them inside for a longer bud flowering period, the buds just get better and better. Usually, here in Upstate NY, I found that I could keep them going until Halloween. I used to harvest pounds, not ounces. It took care of my taxes and our own habits. I stopped in 2003 because I got turned in by an asshole who rolled over on me. The cop investigating shared with me that he had known about my growing for several years and indeed had a friend who shared with him some of my product. He hadn't bothered me, cause I kept to myself about it and didn't grow huge amounts. The only reason I got busted was because they had to investigate complaints. At the time, I had 15 girls that were doing very well and would've yielded me about 11 pounds of sensemilla. Since then, I have not grown because to do so would have endangered my home and acreage. Costs were very minimal. I estimated at the time, that not counting my time which I had anyway, each ounce cost about $14. And, it was NOT ditch weed. I only sold to three persons and they took it from there, one of whom marketed it in NYC and always had a demand.
