Medical Marijuana Mike Casadanka

This is one part of a five part series about medical marijuana patient self-sufficiency. It is broken into five chapters mostly comprised of photo essays with explanation. It is too cumbersome to be released as one book. This is not a regurgitated, rehashed compilation of other grow books. This is all original research of highly-experienced medical marijuana growers. This chapter introduces how the perpetual cycle of a small time personal medical marijuana garden grown by the patient is put onto a manageable schedule. It looks at how modern methods and techniques are applied to the indoor micro garden to maximize output benefiting the patient. It examines how the patient/grower continually adds a new plant as a mature plant is harvested for its medicine; and how growing only two big plants yields just as much as having a large number of small plants. Whether the plant limit is 4, 5, or 6 plants, the patients still produce enough on their own to keep a constant supply of medicine and yet stay within the permitted dry weight limitations. This Chapter shows how different patients adapted these ideas to their own needs enabling them to produce the quantity of medicine that the patient is allowed to have while staying within the mandated plant number limitations. It also focuses on how medical marijuana growers arrange their plants in small gardens. In sizes from closets to spare bedrooms, they stagger the growth of the plants to get fresh medicine in smaller quantities on a regular basis. Rather than one large harvest all at once that needs to be stored and exceeds their allowed weight limitations, medical marijuana patient/growers like to work a perpetual garden with just 4 to 6 plants at any one time and produce their allowable dry weight quantity repeatedly all year long. With 4 plants at a time, they are harvesting their allowable dry weight amount in ounces every 3 - 4 weeks. With 6 plants at any one time in a perpetual cycle, the allowable dry weight is harvested every 2 - 3 weeks.
