What I am currently growing.
As a gardener, I always enjoy gardening year round. These are the current set up(s) I have going at this moment.
I do my reviews based upon experience as I grow with products, So here is a little in sight of these grows!
Outdoor Gardening
As it is winter and I cannot plant anything until spring.
Lighting: Mother nature's sun
Medium: Soil I will be using is: Sheep manure, Cow Manure and soil. (Above ground garden)
Water: Tap water
Tools: Shovel / Zenports pruners, Tomato cages, Nursery pots.
Plants in 2019: Still not 100% sure. Tomatoes, cucumbers; peas for sure.
Pictures will come in time!
Indoor
*Disclaimer: These are my 4x plants allowed in Canada. They were given to me through legal means.*
Why Cannabis?: My spouse sufferers several diagnosed illnesses. This is her medicine (or will be). I grow with as much care as possible. She was poisoned through a Licensed Producer (LP) of Canada named "Organigram" (Class Action Lawsuit is in progress). This is not okay with me. So with the recent changes of laws regarding Cannabis, I will continue to grow as much of her medications as I can. This provider her with a safe means of medicine with no pesticides.
For anyone who uses it for recreational purposes, It is a growing curve (It will come in time), but it is a far safer and cheaper alternative in the long term for you to grow your own. (I estimate $32/oz minus costs of my below set-up) The first grow, count EVERYTHING you purchase into the first crop. Yes the number will be higher, but then follow up with a cost for everything minus the set up.... notice a difference?
*ALL Canadian Dollar*
Cost of first grow breakdown:
Lights: $821.55 (Plus taxes) (All 3x Lights)
Tent: $239.99
Soil: $25/bag ($100 total)
Exhaust: $239.96
Airflow: $45.98
Nutrients: $125
Tools: $14.20
Potters: $20
Seeds: Anywhere between $10-$40 per.
Power: Approx $50/month
Total- $1 606.68 (CAD) (NOT including power/Seeds)
Price per ounce: Assuming I can get 1 LB from my set up (1 LB = 16oz or 4 oz per plant)
28grams = 1 ounce
Price per oz on first grow (Setup included, minus seeds) : $ 116 / oz
Price per oz (Inc: Soil, Power,Nutrients minus the set up): $ 25-$32 / oz minus seeds.
Price per gram of my local legal store:
$8.50 for the lowest ($238 per oz Plus Tax)
$15.99 for the highest ($447.72 per oz Plus Tax)
So to compare:
$25-$116 + your time for your grow (and knowing what was put on the plant)
-vs-
$238 - $448 + Tax Store bought (Not knowing anything)
Note: If your like me and don't smoke much, one grow will last you years! (It can be stored in mason jars with some form of humidity control)

This the day after I made the 12/12 switch. I had just finished defoliating the plants.
Pretty huh?
A week after defoliation.

Just a close-up of the buds forming.
This was taken at the beginning of week 4.
Weeks have passed, the plants have been cut. I am happy with the turn out. (Additional reviews to be uploaded soon!)
Total yield after the cure: 15 ounces. I slightly over dried the harvest so to put moisture back in it will take some time. I have tried it once, along with sharing it with friends. Everyone has loved the flavor, and effects are beyond what I expected!
A friend provided me a Blueberry Indica. However I am giving that to another friend now. I will be growing 4x Twisted Citrus in my new Alfred's DWC buckets. Along with 2 tomato plants and 1 tomato in soil as a control. Click Here to see how it is going.
