    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

I am studying about searches and seizures in class.
We are reading case after case after case, stories about people growing marijuana where it could clearly be seen by helicopter, etc.

I have never myself seen these kinds of plants growing but it is apparently common. There must either be a lot of stupid crooks or perhaps they are sampling too much of the produce because there is a lot of case law showing losing cases as they scramble unsuccessfully to claim illegal search after someone saw their 'garden' from navigable airspace. I mean, if you were going to do that kind of stuff wouldn't you make an effort to keep it a bit of a secret?
(Disclaimer: DON'T do that kind of stuff).

Perhaps they should straighten up and stick to petunias :rolleyes:
 
I have to laugh here.......we had a lot of that "stuff" growing wild out here when we moved in, and even more came up after we plowed up and seeded in the pastures. (FYI, we planted PASTURE grass!!) We sprayed, chopped, pulled, sprayed more.....the stuff chokes out the grasses and is really hard to kill. It got so bad, we were seriously a bit concerned about someone thinking we had a "cash crop" growing out here! Especially when the horses (who are too smart to eat it) would graze all around it, leaving just those sticking up!!

And yeah, we've finally gotten it under control after 3 years of killing the stuff.....
 
By the abandonned train tracks by my parents house, there are weed plants sproutin up all over the place. Actually, on one of the busier streets in Buffalo by the colleges, I once walked by some plants growing openly in a flower pot on someone's front porch. I don't think many people care too much about that around here.
 
I had a DEA liscense for narcotics when I trained dogs. I could grow up to a pound a year for training purposes. I sometimes had a plant in my training canter, mostly just because I could.
 
They musta had some really jerky friend who ratted on them. I have to say though, that's a pretty cool cave...
 
It grows along the bike path here in Madison. Although, since this is Madison, you'd be more likely to get a ticket for destroying wildlife than for possession if you picked it.
 
Interesting, all the people I have known that grew pot grew it indoors with all kinds of fancy lights, thermostats and fans. They call it hydroponic, or something like that ;-)
 
What you need to do is dig a big hole in the ground, Something approximately the size and shape an Olympic sized swimming pool. Then you stretch a large translucent tarp over the entire pit and paint the upper surface to look like water. Just make sure no one accidentally rips it.

Yaaaa....thats the ticket...it'al work for sure ,It worked in this movie i saw,so its gotta work ,yaaaa thats the ticket. :rolleyes:
 
Unfortunately a lot of the plants are often grown in the national parks, destroying protected wildlife habit.
 
Your stuff growing in the ditches and the fields is not marijuana. Its hemp(I know,Still marijuana)) and you will not get high on it ! This was a huge cash crop back many years ago. It was used for clothing and rope and many other products. This type of marijuana will not bud and give you what you smoke when buying or growing your own.
No,i havent tried it. And wouldnt try weed growing in a ditch or a field. There are many differences between Hemp and medical/pleasure marijuana. not hard to tell either.
I think its time to legalize this in more then 1 state. Imagine the taxes our country would make ? Debt would surely drop considerably ! Sick people could use it and not go to jail for it. Its a natural plant that does not need chemicals to produce a final product,so why illegal ? Really? And please, dont bug out if your a drinker saying"its legal. Alcohol kills many people daily !! Weed does not.

Growing indoors doesnt mean hydroponics. Hydroponics is using no soil or soil products,suspending a plant in a net pot or something like it over a reservoir that that has plumbing to bring the water/nutrient to the top of the plant and feeds it though a drip line. Hydroponics uses no dirt. Then we have aeroponics, which is the best way to go on certain types of plants.

People growing inside doesnt mean they are growing hydro. Just means indoor growing. Hydroponics is known to increase yield and lowers fruiting time. It will make your plants grow faster if you have it all tuned in. I grew several types of plants in hydro buckets,including a ghost Chili ( Bhut Jolokia ) pepper plant in 1 for close to 3 years and got many hundreds of peppers. The lights used most often is called a high pressure sodium and produces light from the red/orange spectrum. This is what produces your fruit and lets it mature. Yes,you can use a metal halide but it produces more a green/blue and is not best for fruiting. More for producing green leaf material.

My neighbors seen my plants in hydro and now 2 of them have bought buckets to grow in outside during the summer.

Happy growing of whatever you love to grow. try hydroponics outside,you'll love the results. You can make your own for about $25.
