Soil growing requires less equipment, investment and, generally, less work to control the various factors influencing growth. The only specialist equipment required for the simplest indoor soil set-up would be seeds, organic nutrients, a light and a timer.

In practice, Indica and Sativa are the names used to distinguish each end of the cannabis 'spectrum'. There are a multitude of different growth-patterns, qualities and effects within this spectrum, most of which are a result of cannabis' remarkable ability to adapt to its environment. Genetically, and in terms of interbreeding, all...Cannabizhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09359707155797031111noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7005443311258178431.post-33309397110023864572008-06-09T12:34:00.006+02:002008-06-09T12:51:41.484+02:002008-06-09T12:51:41.484+02:00The sponsors of a medical cannabis initiative appearing on South Dakota’s ballot in November are suing the state Attorney General over his misleading summary of the initiative, apparently designed to encourage a negative reaction in voters.

With only a little personal experience of the recreational uses of cannabis or a brief outline of its medicinal and industrial applications, the average person can see that the images of cannabis given by the...Cannabizhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09359707155797031111noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7005443311258178431.post-49899653401462014402008-06-02T12:07:00.000+02:002008-06-02T12:17:04.035+02:002008-06-02T12:17:04.035+02:00Apologies if the title of this piece is an obscure reference. It is taken from the recent debate in the US, about whether the science classes of public schools should teach ‘Intelligent Design’ as an alternative theory to evolution. In that debate, the terms ‘evolution’ and ‘intelligent design’ were used to describe opposing viewpoints. However, both terms fit very well when considering our...Cannabizhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09359707155797031111noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7005443311258178431.post-79793496130266174452008-06-02T11:43:00.000+02:002008-06-02T11:52:56.744+02:002008-06-02T11:52:56.744+02:00The art of cloning plants could be the most useful of all ‘indoor’ techniques. Cloning allows growers to make the most of every female plant and it’s a skill that anyone can master with a little practice. Outdoor growers who clone their plants are able to identify gender early in the season and multiply their female plants during the long vegetation period.

The history of hemp in Holland also goes back for thousands of years. The stalk of the hemp-plant produces one of the strongest natural fibres that were used to make things like rope, textile and paper. Also the seed of the hemp-plant contains high-grade food oil that was also used for lamp oil, the production of paint and (green!) soap.
