Disclaimer: i'm a n00b to this myself and have only ordered beanz from one spot:
mjseedscanada
i pay for the super-dooper-extra-awesome shipping, ALWAYS
using music as an example, if someone was given a 5 grand
Les Paul guitar, and never played one before, you get the idea
same here, i order say 20 widow beanz, lets say only 2 make it
either due to weather, my own mistakes, etc.
and lets say that was around 200 bucks
is that a loss?
Well, depends on how ya look at it, which sounds lame
here's how i look at it, first off, they are a reputable supplier
since i got my beanz fast using international shipping blah blah
and they got chat support on there, anything goes wrong,
it's most likely me, plus, i let them know up front, i'm a n00b
also what i was trying to treat medically, ptsd
back to the numbers....
so lets say 2 make it, i force one to go male, do some cloning blah blah
now i got my own beanz going from that strain, what's that worth?
i'm not out on the street "looking" which i hate with a passion and all my heart
and i just leveraged a 200 dollar order into x amount of supply, which by the way,
is RESIDUAL now, if i do my homework and treat this thing with the respect it
deserves, i'm kinda hard on myself that way, i've never done anything "half way"
yer looken at indica, which is a tuff little critter, widow is a good balance, we get
cold snaps around here, Chronic
is a good one to start off with, there are many others,
Not a lot of reviews for it but easy grow, high yields.
This is NOT auto-flowering. Frankly, i don't know much about that. My guess is i'll stay away
from the automagical flowering beans due to the fact i may down the road want to adjust lighting schedule
to force flowering at xyz time. Maybe one plant i want to keep in veg longer or shorter.
I've seen youtube vids where some guys just using cfls start flowering very early. This can be due
to space constrains and how they "tweak" xyz strain to do what they want, how they want.
Like anything else, it's a lot of trial an error, doing the homework. Be prepared to make mistakes, to deal with failure.
Learn from it then try again. You mentioned a tent. You asked how many plants. There's some variables
there of course, xyz stain, your lighting, climate, i'm guessing your going outdoor, soil, ph of your water,
do you have to carry water to xyz, so that's "work load" and x amount of plants can be misleading as
i'm sure you already know. There are many things you can do to increase a yield. Lots of stuff on youtube.
I can be an idiot, i want to know it all now, not yesterday or tomorrow, the patience involved in this will be my tuffest part.
However, if you take care of the basics, love them with good dirt, water and sunshine, nature will thank you for that. Jorge Cervantes has some incredible videos. Back to numbers real quick,
i did this based on my consumption, lets say it takes max half an ounce a week to treat my ptsd and "share" supply,
on average, numbers for my area that comes to mim couple hundred, times 4 for a month, 800 bucks, times 12 for a year 9.600.00.
To treat ptsd. Now you know why i look at the beanz like i do, Just one bean with cloning and then forcing a
male puts me into seed production. Meaning i can then store them for future crops in case of a loss for whatever reason.
You will gain full control and know what your plant grew on, how it grew, basically freedom. I'm 43, spent half my life
and resources "looking." Very rare did anything go wrong, so not complaining about that, like Chong said in one of his
comedy bits "smokers want to share." On a personal note, not being dramatic but driving the point home concerning "cost"
i've had friends a couple of them die in front of me, one in my arms due to cancer. Lost many friends to ptsd.
The booze, VA med route never goes well with ptsd. You stick with this, the good you can do in helping others might
not be tangible "cash" per say, but like this plant, you can make someone's life have less suffering.
Plain old mental illness took my dad out, the very hard way. And the dope the doctor had him on, well, you get my point.
Glad you are here and to meet you. Sorry if i rambled.
