Thanks Midwest toker

Our family has been farming this ground for Generations and once every hundred years or so a new crop comes up that makes it economically viable for us to stay in business that product will probably be marijuana for myself or my kids. But anytime you are learning a new crop it takes at least 5 to 10 consecutive years in order to really grasp all of the ins and outs of farming a new crop. I say new but it's not a new product for our farm during World War II we produced hemp that would truck into Kansas City and get made into rope. I have tried for the last 6 years to grow outside but because we have so much Wild pot left over from World War II it's next to impossible to create sensimillia. So it looks like even though we have some of the greatest weather for growing It Outdoors in order to make a high-quality product we're probably going to have to grow it exclusively in greenhouses or Warehouse Barnes so that the air can be filtered to remove all of the pollen.

Yes, I know the feeling! Grew up around the wild hemp fields in Northwestern Indiana. Every ditch bank and rail right of way was full of wild hemp in the late 60's early 70's.

Thank you Chemistry

what would you suggest I add? Like a compost tea or worm casting? I have a worm bin and I compost a large amount of compost every year so making a slurry to add to the soil during flower would not be difficult to do

I wish I could point you in the right direction with organic feed, but I only use composts on out door plants that are in the ground. So you need an organic gardener to sort you out. I only use bottled nuits.

All right with the lights 24 inch away from the soil which puts the light 22 24 inch away from the plant there seems to be no ill effect in the first 24 hours
