Correct me if I’m wrong but you are only allowed to grow indoors(better to keep bugs off and people from taking your medicine)

You just pop the seeds in the garden and that’s it? I thought that you needed all kinds of hydroponics, humidity and whatnot.

There’s no restrictions on growing outside / inside as long as it’s within your property and limited to 4 plants. I’m not invested in growing indoors, I don’t want to deal with the smell, lighting, mess etc. I let the garden do the work. I’m a light smoker and get everything I need for the year in 3 short months. 4 plants is ALOT if you go with a high yielding outdoor strain we’re talking lbs! That’s pretty tough to do in a backyard though, better off having a friend with an acreage, digging some big holes, adding good soil and you would be good for aloooong time lol

Pot has been grown outdoors for thousands of year. Indoor pot was only developed over the past few decades.
40 years ago I threw, (not planted just thrown), 20 seeds in the garden in April. A dozen sprouted and 8 were female. By mid September I had 6 ft plants that were heavily budded and mature. Never fertilized or watered. Grown 'au natural.' Watered when it rained. The soil in the garden was a black loam. Only covered the plants with a sheet the last week when there was a risk of frost at night. Had enough tops to last a year.
The best outdoor natural soil is soil where stinging nettle grows. Nettle is a companion plant to pot.

So please.......tell us the website you used to obtain your non-illicit seeds from?
Is there a licenced online retailer to purchase seeds?

Many of the seeds I had were stray seeds from buds I had acquired. I never bought any seeds from a bank.
There are several reputable online seed companies from places like Amsterdam that ship all over the world. Some out of BC even.
If you grow your own you only have to buy seeds once. Keep a male and female plant together and you get seeds for the next year.
There is even a guy, Dana Larson, online in Canada offering 100 seeds for free. He has millions of seeds and wants to over grow Canada. http://overgrowcanada.com/

Fluxcore... Nice pics. May I suggest a small hand held microscope is important for deciding when to harvest. The trichromes should just be starting to turn opaque instead of being clear. Once the trichromes have turned darker the high will be past prime. Harvested at the right time can be a big difference. Harvest first thing after a dark night. THC is replenished during the night. Sunlight dissipates THC.

This is probably the best reference site online. There is a section on cultivation for indoor and outdoor growing too. All the info about pot a person needs.

Choose your battles.
And just do the right thing.
The gov't and the police have been deeply corrupt and doing Canadian society a great disservice for a long time.
But hey, it's great business for the authorities isn't it?
As corrupt as it comes.

I went through cropkings out of bc, found what I wanted in the “autoflower” section. Quick and easy, had 100% germination rate and a few left over for next summer 👍

I actually harvested a little late the trichomes were really cloudy and most of the hairs were brown. I’ll try the dark thing next year for sure. I have a 1 hooter and literally have 1-2 puffs and I’m on cloud 9 with absolutely no anxiety which I was worried about after harvesting and seeing how the bud looked......

Choose your battles is right, and their is definitely corruption.
However, with no seeds available from licenced retailers, I'd hate to see someone get slapped with a charge for posting their crop on social media. Big brother is watching, and if they are missing out on revenue, they'll be head hunting those who are acquiring seeds from the black market.
Just a thought

With the intercontinental postage systems some seeds will cross borders.
I do not think the gov't will be spending too much time, money or effort to police home grown growers. They may watch for people posting 20 plants and then find out they wasted the resources because there was 5 adult individuals in the residence, each allowed 4 plants.
I think the next phase of the market strategy is going to be the gov't growers will be selling clones instead of seeds to people that want to grow their 4 plants. They will sell female plants that grow great flowers but no produce seeds, thus requiring they be bought every year.
I have nothing to fear of the authorities by talking about pot of the past. The past is just that. I was just a country boy ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YyQi-1Z2tN8

4 plants per dwelling, regardless if there is two or more adults residing there. Section 12(5) of the Cannabis Act. 4 is lots anyways........

Tell me why with only being alowed 4 plants would you plant male plants . You can buy feminized seeds for around $13 then you get bud off of all 4 and no chance of ruining the other plants with seedy buds

Nicely done, congrats!
Everyone should be growing their own, it's easier than you think.
And don't be afraid of growing indoors, that's where you have 100% control over everything.

In theory... outdoor grown... keeping one female and male separate from the other two females and let that lone female produce seeds allows that strain to get more adapted/acclimatized to where it was grown over a few generations. And if you have an exceptional strain it would be nice to keep. The fertilized seedy flowers are still quite usable as medicine. The grower sacrifices one plant capacity for having the male but ensure they have their own viable seeds. Also could keep one seedless mother plant and let her produce seedless clones for a couple years.

I disagree. I think he's brilliant.
His neighbors would have said, "look at all those darn weeds in that garden"!
