Below you’ll find a compilation of useful tips on growing Purple Kush plants for personal or commercial use:

1. First of all, you can grow the plant both indoors and outdoors. It’s a tough plant and it will grow fine in both environments. However, growing indoors is highly recommended to keep the plants safe from animals, people and any other externalities.
2. When grown indoors, the purple kush plant can achieve a maximum height of two to three feet. Therefore, you need not keep the ceiling very high; seven to eight feet high ceiling is just fine for growing these plants.
3. Several medical cannabis dispensaries that procure these plants want these them to grow both wide and tall. To make your purple kush crop equally (almost) tall and wide, you just need to pinch the topmost branches of each plant.
4. The plant turns ‘purple’ in appearance only when it is nearly ready for harvest. That’s when the best of purple kush effects can be experienced.
5. If your plants appear too light, you can make use of some nitrogen. Fertilizers that have nitrogen as the key constituent can quickly darken kush plants. Just make sure that you don’t overdo it. Purple kush is no doubt a tough plant, but its sensitive to fertilizers. Leaves of plants can curl easily if excessive doses of nitrogen are given.
6. By the time these plants begin to blossom, you need to stop the nitrogen doses completely. Then, it is time to feed some phosphorus to your plants. Fertilizers with phosphorus and potassium are the best option at this stage.
7. If you feel your plant growth is too slow, it is a good idea to test the soil and double check if you’re using the right fertilizers at the right time. Most people who complain about slow growth, curled leaves, or not-so-purple appearance are the ones who rely on incorrect information dealing with fertilizer use, watering, and soil quality required for growing these plants.

The smoke produced by the strain is of the highest quality and extremely strong. The emitted smoke contains very high THC levels. The taste is considered to be flowery and tad different from others in the family. It could be compared to resin or acrid hash.

Its name, “Strawberry Cough” is kept for obvious reasons. Strawberry, simply because the first sniff of the marijuana smells like a berry; similar to that of a strawberry, with some sweetness and a slight sourness too. Once you inhale it, it directly hits at the lungs, making you cough, especially if you’re a novice marijuana user. However, having said all the above, the Strawberry Cough weed is one of the best solutions for insomnia. It not only treats insomnia directly, but also treats its underlying causes, including anxiety and depression. Many say that after hitting hard at the lungs, the Strawberry Cough hits the brain and immediately gets to work, creating a heavy hazy effect without completely knocking you out.

Insomnia patients are said to experience a clear head that keeps you stress free and in control so you can sleep tight for the night. The Strawberry Cough weed sometimes provides a strong high and therefore it is advisable to use at night only. But, if you feel dealing with the stress of your daily life is too heavy, a lighter dose of Strawberry Cough can be consumed during the day time as well.

You can get Strawberry Cough seeds from the market, or order online from a reliable source. It can be grown indoors and grows up to 3 feet tall. With tight buds and plenty of pine cones, the plant even manages to look good and smell good in the house.  A natural alternate to medicine for insomnia, marijuana provides effective treatment against the disorder. Also, unlike medicines that come with side effects that may cause drowsiness and draining of energy, Strawberry Cough is also an energy booster. Note that it is in no way a substitute for carbohydrates, but keeps you in high spirits and also relieves fatigue, replenishing all the lost energy taken from a stressful work day.

Clock out, get home, and enjoy the rest of your night.

Two things come to mind when watching the clips. First, it looks like “Rambo” and his crew are still battling illegal grows in the California wilderness. I have to wonder how much money is being spent to destroy a small amount of rather pathetically looking crops? Secondly it doesn’t look good for Mike Boutin’s farm. The sheriff wants to revoke his gun permit among other issues he faces in this new episode. New episode airs tonight 10 PM on Discovery Channel.

Attorney General Erich Holder was recently speaking at the National Association of Attorney Generals meeting in Washington DC. There he got a chance to speak with the attorney generals of both Colorado and Washington State. He promised a verdict on their recent statewide marijuana legalization. According to thehill.com, Holder quoted “You will hear soon. We’re in the last stages of that review and we’re trying to make a determination as to what the policy ramifications are going to be, what our international obligations are — there are a whole variety of things that go into this determination — but the people of [Colorado] and Washington deserve an answer and you will have one soon.”

Defiant of Federal laws, Colorado and Washington have moved forward with the process of implementing their marijuana legalization program. A task force has begun talks of how to implement the program. All aspects from growing to distribution at the retail level is slowly being worked on and expected to be in place soon. Even more so, recently legalization initiatives in Maryland and Pennsylvania pave the way for more statewide legalization.

We figured with the election over, the fiscal cliff solved, and hopefully this sequestration resolved; the Feds have the opportunity to weigh in on the conflict between state and federal marijuana laws. Our hope is that with more and more councilman, delegates and state representatives asking for marijuana legalization, the Federal government will finally put an end to this silly prohibition. A safe, well regulated system similar to the way alcohol is treated will be a windfall for both state and local governments.

Angelos was ensnared in an undercover marijuana purchase that reeked of entrapment. In 2003, more than a year after he had been arrested, Angelos was found guilty on several counts. Because of mandatory minimum statutes, the presiding judge—a Bush appointee named Paul Cassell—was left with no discretion at sentencing. After asking the prosecuting and defense attorneys to advise him on the constitutionality of the sentence, a distraught Cassell handed down a fifty-five-year term, a punishment he called “unjust, cruel and even irrational.” He urged then-President Bush to pardon the young father of three and right a clear judicial wrong.

Bush didn’t pardon him. Neither have you, President Obama

The petition needs 25,000 signatures by February 9, 2013 to be reviewed by the Obama administration
