Does any one else have MUCH smaller than usual plants due to the crappy
summer we've had here in the northeast/middle atlantic states of US?? I'm
so disgusted.
Last year I had tomatoes 10'(yes feet)tall, this year the biggest is <3'.
This can't just be the difference between sativa and indica, can it? I
don't think I've ever grown indica before - this is Mango to be used as a
medical pain killer. My plants look so freekin puny compared to the Mango
that Marco shows on Treatingyourself.com .
Any suggestions other than to pray for more sun? Any special ferts?
They're not in bloom yet, and the 3 littlest haven't even shown six. The
largest is a lady, hoping for 3 more.

Probably the extremely wet weather. And the National Weather Service
predictions for August-Sept.-Oct. are uncertain, so no one really
knows what's coming. Can you move at least some of them indoors and
go ScroG?

Keep on truckin'

What does that 'and you are indeed an olde hippee' remark mean?
You must have missed the part about Medicinal Painkiller as I'm not so
lamebrained that all I want to do is stay couchlocked all day. DH & I lead
a very active life, and to do it and be comfortable I am seeking pain
relief, not to stay stoned out of my mind.
Thanx for the Marc Emery suggestion, but I object strongly to his prices
and his antics. There are other seed dealers with reasonable prices. I
think his cowboying around with smoking on the city hall steps is pretty
juvenile. Just my opinion.
