There are countless people who have ailments, wether it be depression, aids, or multiple sclerosis, that can be treated with cannabis. The only problem associated with cannabis is the accessibility; these people have to go through hell to get their medicine, they have to put themselves in dangerous situations every time they want some medicine. They have to meet a sketchy dealer who’s always out to hustle you; try to sell the least amount of bud for the most amount of money. The danger doesn’t stop there, even worse the patient has to worry about the police finding the cannabis. Cannabis is a schedule one drug, which, under the federal government, means it has no medicinal value, and is extremely addictive. This law is still in effect, when at the same time more than 10 states have recognized the medicinal value of cannabis.

Let Us Pay Taxes!!!
Governor of California Arnold Schwarzenegger was and is currently being offered one billion dollars by a group of medical cannabis growers and distributors that go by the name of LetUsPayTaxes. If accepted, the one billion dollars would help out a deteriorating state economy and increase the state budget. Regulation and taxation of cannabis could produce up to six billion dollars in additional tax revenue, according to economic studies linked from their web site LetUsPayTaxes.com. This is one more reason to not only tax and regulate cannabis, but to end this ongoing “war on drugs”.

These beautiful girls were not given a super bloom formula. The result is a short plant with substantially small leaves and calyxes.

The white pistils are now rapidly protruding from every node on the plant. The calyxes are relatively small but that will change by next week. I gave her a super bloom fertilizer which means a solution containing a decrease in nitrogen and an increase in potassium and phosphate (phosphorus). You will see results in roughly one week or so. There are multiple ways too determine maturity. One way is to watch the pistils; when healthy, and in the early stages of flowering, pistils will almost always be white. As the flowering stage progresses, the pistils will start to dry out and turn color (the color of pistils ranges from a deep orange to a vibrant red). Watch for this drying out process and the pistil coloration.

Usually the flowering stage would be late july to early august- maybe even september, however, the OG Purple Kush is flowering in early may. This is because the photoperiod this season in northern California has a dark period in may that lasts 9-11 hours.

may 11, bending continued
I’ve been out of town for the past week but a friend has kindly been watering her every other day, and she remains to be healthy and strong like the day I left. The plant has now reached the 17th node and is starting to flower; pistils are starting to protrude from the “armpits” of the plant. This is naturally occuring due to the photoperiod. Usually cannabis plants flower in northern california around July or august, however the OG PURPLE KUSH seems to be flowering unusually early. When magnetized you can see the trichomes starting to build up; eventually they will sprout up and form a have cylinder shape at the top similar to that of a mushroom. These trichomes will be the tool to read the maturity of the plant; the not only determines the maturity, but also the effect of the strain.
