Well after a couple of years of having my garden being looked after by a friend in Nova Scotia I have decided to bring it back to Ontario.

Well I rented an place that has 16 ft ceiling and the landlord rented it to me knowing that I will be growing medical marijuana. I went out and bought all new gear and looking forward to firing up the lights this weekend.

The plants will start out in 2 gal containers and finish in 6.1 gal containers. I will be growing in Pro Mix HP and will be organic nutrients.

Taking care of a garden of this size takes a lot of time
The total grow space is just under 2,100 sq ft. and it will be lit with 24 600 watt HPS.

I will be vegging the plants for 4 weeks as I want to have HUGE plants at harvest. I will be harvesting 30 plants every 2 weeks after the initial 8 weeks.

There will be 2 permits at the location my permit is for 127 plants and the other permit is for 58 plants so I will have a helper if I add a 3rd permit it would allow me a 3rd hand.

I want to show you the room empty and I will post pictures as it goes along.

So keep you eye on this thread.

Take Care and Peace

Well the first 127 will be clones of 2 varieties that I have yet to pick up and then it will be Finest Medicinal Seeds, OGA, and of course I will be growing out various strains from the majority of the seed company's. I am still looking for that perfect strain to help me cope with all my ailments.

Take Care and Peace

yeah buddy..:harvest: Looking damn good so far.. I wish you all the best. Landlord sounds real cool. Be sure to kick him down a lil on the backside:)

You ever checked out sunshine mix #4 Aggregate Plus? The texture/feel is just awesome I swear you'll like it better vs the Promix hp imo.

Here is the veg room and as you can see the plants are nice and healthy. They will be going into the bloom area in a week as I am waiting for my venting to be finished in the bloom area. Both pictures were taken from the entrance way of the veg room.

Take Care and Peace

Sorry for the delay but I have been so busy with my personal life and magazine deadlines. Here are a couple of pics that were taken 2 days ago. Plants are 3 weeks into bloom.
