About Me

Hi!Name's Wes. Claire and I have an twelve-year-old daughter, Squirrel. We've been growing medpot for a number of years now. My grow room is in the basement, next to my home office.I use hydroponics, a system called ebb and flow. It was real easy to set up, under one grow light. It's a 600W high-pressure sodium (HPS) lamp, with ballast.It used to take me four-months to go from seeds to harvest, but recently I found a way to reduce that time to around three months. I use the best possible plant food to nourish our medicine, made by a Canadian company, Advanced Nutrients.They have an incredibly effective line of products, specifically designed to grow pot. Their latest super deluxe basic fert is called Connoisseur, and it is truly remarkable how big your buds are at harvest time by using it.Claire suffers from migraine headaches and my cancer is in remission (knock on wood). I started smoking medpot in order to alleviate the devastating effects of chemotherapy.Luckily, we live in a jurisdiction that allows medicinal marijuana. Since we are limited by law with regard to the number of plants that we grow each time, my ebb and flow system has six buckets, and I harvest the buds of six sinsemilla plants (unfertilized female plants) each time.Medpot helps to ease the pain of thousands of people suffering from various illnesses throughout the world. AIDS, Cancer, Chronic Pain, Glaucoma, Epilepsy, and many other ailments can be made more tolerable by using medicinal cannabis.Please visit my blog in order to read about my adventures week to week as a legal medpot grower.(If link doesn't work, please paste this url into your browser: http://www.medpot-minstrel.blogspot.com) Thanks, Wes
