New forum member and fantastic to find a community with a wealth of information.

After a near death hospitalization in 2017, I have had to transform my life to get to the other side - health.

Long story short, I switched to a vegan diet, lost 40 pounds, and through the use of CBD/CBG have improved and solved some long term chronic health conditions.

I have my first THC grow since 2001, and I'm amazed you can now buy all the equipment right off Amazon.com. Who would have ever thought?

Lastly, in this winter of 2023/24, my grow of Northern Lights (ILGM) is finally almost there at the finish. I have delved into regenerative gardening, and this has made all the difference. I highly recommend Nigel Palmer's "The Regenerative Grower's Guide to Garden Amendments: Using Locally Sourced Materials to Make Mineral and Biological Extracts and Ferments". The most DIY book I've encountered in years, it will change how you view the world.

Glad you’re still with us! Thanks for the book recommendation.
Which seed company did you use for your Northern Lights? Looks awesome. “Iglm” not sure if this is the seed company, very new to the seed world. Thanks!

How much of that is genetics VS. all the “good stuff” you feed a plant during its grow cycle?

ILGM is super expensive, i would recommend herbie seeds and our very own TrustFall. Do some searches for for either one on here and you will be safe going with anything from either. Happy growing ✌

What's up cap! Had my power go out again for a while last night Dude was hammered and hit a pole while he was 6 feet off the ground. About a quarter mile down the road from me. Went in the ditch on each side bouncing back and fourth down the hill and then launched into the pole.

Genetics play a HUGE role, but so does the feed.....

If this makes sense.....

Growing great genetics and feeding with shit feed = shit plants....

Growing shit genetics and feeding with great feed = shit plants.....

Maybe not that drastic, but I hope it makes sense....

I grow bagseed, good genetics, and bad genetics.......I have different outcomes given different strains/ genetics......

They coincide with one another......that and the atmosphere......
