Thought i would post this for anyone interested. Looks like they are going to increase the amount you're allowed to possess but still limit growing to 4 plants. The 4 plant limit definitely needs to be increased but we are still heading in the right direction. https://www.marijuanamoment.net/new...arijuana-sales-and-increase-possession-limit/

Count your blessings! In Maryland, we're limited to two plants. (Unless you get a medical card; then it's four.)
With four well-chosen specimens grown outside, that could be four pounds per harvest! Not too shabby.

So I have to do some more digging,
there are many sites that explain colloidal silver....but i don't see why people want to complicate things...I try to apply the KISS method to everything I do...my objective is:
To use the purest water i can...which I'm going to start with distilled water.
Then I am going to deionize this with a mixture of anion and cation resin in a glass bottle. I will be monitoring the conductivity with a meter that was supplied with a reverse osmosis unit.
The closer I can get to pure water...the better.
So I am aiming for a zero micro semien on conductivity.
Once this is achieved, then I will build my generator. I have much reading to do on electrolysis before I begin the process, but bear with me while I am reasearching....

How are the Blueberry Pancakes doing?
Click to expand...
@MercDod. Week seven for Blueberry Pancakes SCROG. It's been in the teens and 20's here a lot and my basement is reading 64f to 68f so the ladies are not getting the best of conditions. They look nice and frosty and they smell sweet as heaven but are not too thick. That is similar to what they did outside in the garden last summer so either they're not the biggest producers or I haven't honed in on their preferred comfort zone. IDK. They're still taking a gallon of water each every 3 days and are putting out new white pistils so I'm just waiting. If they keep going even up to March I'm good with that. I want to start some plants in the tent after they finish for transplant outside in late May and I think that would be good timing.

I see you got over a pound harvest. Well done! do you have a pic of the girls just before harvest?

Im usually take a lot of photos but all I have close that I can find is a video about 21 days before harvest. It looked pretty much the same. I had posted the video before on another thread. I had issues posting then and when I tried again here it didnt want to post. I need to figure out what im doing wrong. However this strain seems to produce golf ball size nugs but no big colas, so not a big producer but I like smell, taste and buzz ( its one of my top three) so I run it whenever it gets low.

Apparently I have not done enough research as I thought you could use just distilled water. Didnt know anything beyond that.
Will be watching your progress.
 
#269
Merc, I think maybe you are correct in your thinking . Distilled water may be all that is needed, it's a pretty good rabbit hole that I have been chasing.
With so many companies making food grade colloidal for health reasons. And so many different approches... I decided to look at what others are using with success...
Here is a post i found from digging.
I think i will start there, and if this is fruitful, I will let ya know.

How to make Colloidal Silver

Hey fellow Islanders.. First off just let me say, I have no idea how to make this but am just passing along a tutorial from a friend who does. A few peeps here were curious and wondering if his method was any different then others and asked me to post this so here goes.. everything below this...

Starting my next grow. Four out of the five seeds germinated which worked out just fine. This time im running Mimosa Cake Autos by FastBuds. Its day 2 and expecting about 83 more days until harvest based on the last time I grew these. I forgot to drop my dynamico into the hole when planting the germinated seeds but I watered some in near the base of the seedling in hopes some of it reaches the seedling roots. I also added 4 cups of worm tea around the edges of the 5 gallon pots to try and introduce some microbial life to the dry soil mixture.
Wish me luck!

Good luck Merc. Looks like your off to a good start.

What do you think of that Dynomyco?
Click to expand...
My research indicates that it has the most of the particular kind of Mycorrhizal (arbuscular mycorrhizal) that our plants like. I have used both dynomico and great white and cant say that I have seen any differance, I have just went with the research. I have not done any side by side camparison, but since a little goes a long way the dinamite size stick will last years for me. I personelly believe the most important thing is to insure you have a soil that is enriched with living microbes (if growing in soil). I try to do this by starting out with worm tea when first starting and making sure my soil never drys out.

It would be cool if the "Home Grower" could sell their excess to the dispensary (of course at a reasonable price).

Thank you Budretirement...
I have been digging for information on this. I still haven't found anything from Va. On costs of different liscenses. Or a description of those micro liscenses.
Honestly, I hope that they restructure to keep the money in the state, Unlike how it is now.
I think it would be nice if you could supply dispensaries like Merc has suggested, and maybe one day we will have that option.
For now, I can only hope that they are reasonable in their pricing to help increase the little guy's chance at success.
