GROWCULT | Harvest Marijuana

My sister is in a violent situation . I feel like she is being intimidated by her boyfriend and brainwashed . I have heard stories of her abuse things that she has told me. Even at one point her boyfriend pulled a knife out on me because I was trying to defend my sister .

My sister doesn’t have her own place she lives with my mom’s boyfriend house. She stays in cube sized room and they all share one bed . Her boyfriend and her sometimes get into it when they are drinking and it gets really bad. I ask my sister what happen but she really don’t tell me too much cause she wants everyone to believe their relationship is cool .

Now I really don’t care about my sister cause I feel she’s doing very little on trying to get outta of this unhealthy situation . But I am most concerned for my niece.

My mom does nothing about it when it’s going on right in her home (my mom also has a drinking problem too ). My sister has pick up the phone once to call the police and my mom snatched the phone away from her because she didn’t want the neighbors to know and the embarrassment .

My mother is also getting abused which I’m not at all surprise by her 24 year old boyfriend who is also my brother’s friend that’s how my mom was introduced to him . Both my brothers and sis and mom + my niece and my sister’s boyfriend all live there. There house is falling apart there’s trash everywhere ,dishes unwashed it’s cluttered with all these electronic stuff and furniture. Cigarettes butts everywhere in cups on counter tops cause they all smoke and they smoke marijuana.

They pay for nothing only my brothers pay whatever they can afford .
I understand they would have no place to go if my mother were to up and leave her boyfriend or if her boyfriend were to leave her . My sister is 23 her boyfriend is 30 and their kid is 2 and my brothers are 19 and 22 .

My sister feels like she’s stuck . I have offered her help all the time . I’ve said that she can stay with me and I can help her get her own apartment . But she doesn’t want to if her boyfriend can”t come with her. I already tried that with them I’ve let them stay at my apartment before and I only charged them 40 dollars a week and they couldn’t even do that. They felt that they didn’t have to pay me. The bills went up cause I had extra people living with me.

Well my intentions right now is to save my niece . I want to report this but feel like I’ll be the one starting a lot of problems if I do. And I feel like in a way it’s not worth it cause my life is going good . Like if I report this to CS . My family will know I’m the one who called cause I’m the only one who knows all this. And they would make trouble for me.

I honestly don’t know what to do . They constantly bring their issues and problems to me into my home . They even use me at times they come over to washed their clothes to eat cause they don’t have working stove . They do have a washer but no dryer they take showers when their hot water is off at one point they even sat in my house to watch T.V. when their electricity was turned off cause nobody paid bills. 6 people in that house and no one can afford rent and pay bills and they all have jobs except for my mom and sis . My mom just got cut off from unemployment and my sis receives welfare .

I know my life isn’t perfect neither but I do know when things are not right and do my best to fix it . But they are allowing all this to happen . What should I do ? I guess I only deal with them cause their family but they are causing a bad influence in my kids life . My children are old enough they know what happen . They see my mom gettin drunk and cursing and yellin for my sis to move out . Please if anyone can give me some understanding to all of this or help me make clear decision . Should I just back off and not accept phone calls from them . But I don’t want nothing to happen to my mom or sister if I chose to ignore them . Even though they are not right by me and my family .
I have spoken to them about it and they all look at me like I’m crazy and don’t know what I’m talking about and reassures me that things are fine .
That’’s the whole point neither one of them wants a kid they only deal with her cause she’s here . My sister wants me to take her daughter over night but I also have two kids of my own 9 and 7 and I need that break also but I have no one to rely on as you already know my family are not stable . Anyways I’ve been through a hell of a lot and made sacrifices to get to where I am today.
To jaded I do have a better perspective of this that’s why i posted this . This is the way I see things when it comes to my family . And this is not bizzarre or bizzarro or whatever the way you called . This happen more commonly then you know all around the world . It’s just not put into such graphic details as the way I put it. So my concerned are not for them if you understood my post it’s about my niece she is innocent in all of this . Doctors were not hesitant on calling DSS on me cause I missed one appointment for my kid an appoint that I made . So I think your missing the whole point in all of this and that there’s an innocent child in all of this .

Personally I’d get on a train and I’d go live at least 5000 miles away without telling anyone of this lot where I am.

i have tried to grow marijuana on several occasions mabey like 20 and the most i ever gotten was 3-point leaves but it took me 3 weeks to do so.On YouTube most of the peoples plants at 4 or 3 weeks are very big and have big leaves.When I tried growing my plant that had the 3-pointers I used two 75 watt florecent light bulbs,a fan,aluminumn foil all over the closet,and a good temperture.I dont know why it took so long to grow and it made me very frusterated because soon afterwords it died because I used miracle grow.I only used mircacle grow because it was taking so long to grow so please dont critcize me on that.But 2 days ago a plant came up from this big pot I put it in and im keeping it outdoors on my balcony and the plant is growing very nicley right now but I wanted to know if I could keep it in a pot outdoors and still have it grow.So please tell me how long it would take for it to bud and how many 3 pointers come before 5 pointers and also tell me how long it would take in my situation to grow five pointers and please tell me if theres anything that I am doing wrong or should improve.

p.s. I water it when it needs to be watered and its in a big pot.Also please dont critize my question if you dont like what im asking please leave I hate answers like "Pot is illeagle" and "Smoking weed is stupid" and "how old are you?"and etc. so please dont give me hate mail.Thanx

They need a long growing season. Months. Yes, it will work in a pot, but it’ll take a lot more attention and water. In the ground is easier. But either way, it’s risky. Because of the length of time needed, you have to ask yourself if it’s worth the outcome should you get caught. It’s a loooong time between planting an harvest.

Before you read this, let me assure you that I am not taking a side or another on the legalization of marijuana and place no judgments on people who smoke it or people who hate it.

I can’t smoke weed. I am an anxious person and smoking pot triggers panic attacks in me.
It has been proven that when a person has an underlying mental health condition that maybe dormant, smoking weed can bring out this mental issue (anxiety, depression & bi-polar disorders, as well as schizophrenia).
Aside from daily stress levels, individual brain chemistry and genetic factors, the other main reason for which marijuana can cause mental health issues is related to the changes that have been made in the plant over the past 15 years or so. The stuff being sold these days is a far cry from the 60’s reefer.
Pot has been modified to contain much more THC and little to no Cannabidiol.
Cannabidiol is what, in laments terms, makes you relax and PREVENTS panic and negative reactions that THC may cause.
It is supposed to be naturally present in Marijuana…but thanks to new hybrid plants…not anymore!

About 10 years ago, I smoked weed on a pretty regular basis. It made me relax. It made me laugh.
It did not burn me out.
Now a days, a tiny toke of the stuff makes me have full fledged panic attacks.

So my question is this: Is it still possible to obtain non-modified seeds in Canada or the USA?
Has all the weed in the world been changed to a point of no return? Will I never be able to smoke a bit of old-fashion, outdoors, non-modified, mellow weed again in my life?

That’s nice. But I’m much closer to the east coast. I guess I could drop by that place you spoke of if I’m ever in Van. Problem is, trying to explain this to pot LOVERS is a little difficult, since you love the stuff and are not likely to ever think bad of it.
Thanks for the info though.
Still, I wonder if there is anything mild and pleasant left for ppl like me.
Kinda like what the Hobbits smoke..ahhah
L.O.T.R. joke…
Thank you nosyB, that is a very good analysis & a pretty straight forward solution. Ah simplicity…

marijuana plants grow to be more potent when there is a higher concentration of oxygen in the air. plants "breathe in" carbon dioxide and "breathe out" oxygen. so when they are grown indoors, there is nowhere for all the oxygen to go, increasing their potency.

the "war on drugs" forced lots of growers indoors, therefore (ironically) increasing the potency of the drug they were "fighting" in the first place.

so if i had to guess, i would say probably you won’t find mellow weed (i remember it too, and i can’t smoke the stuff nowadays either), because in order to be "non-modified" it would have to be a strain that has been historically mostly grown outdoors. your best bet for that would be to make friends with an aging hippie who lives out in the country somewhere and has been growing his own for personal use since the ’60s

for a better explanation, read michael pollan’s "the botany of desire" – it has a whole chapter on the evolution of pot.

It used to be commonly grown in the UK, in its Hemp form, as it was used for the production of rope – the UK shipping industry and industry needed tons of rope of course, but synthetic fibre eventually replaced it. Its still grown in some parts of the world, in this form, as not all types of it have psychoative elements within it, and it is increasingly being used in clothes manufacture. The varied strains generally need similar growing conditions, unless you have a type that’s more suited to greenhouse culture/ more tropical conditions.

It’s fairly common for some people to find it growing in their gardens, due to its inclusion in bird seed – either it falls from feeders or from bird droppngs, then grows and flourishes. My local newspaper once carried a photo of a huge plant in an old ladies garden, asking if anyone knew what this strange beast was! I guess the police later popped around to confiscate it though.

Hope this helps. Good luck! Rob

I live in northern South Carolina and I was wondering if it would be possible for me to grow marijuana outdoors at this time of the year? If so, how should I?

No, you can’t do this, because it is illegal.
