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)

Current Indoor Pictures
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.
