Hydroponics is a method of growing plants without soil; instead a liquid solution is used that contains all of the minerals and nutrients needed to produce a healthy plant. Hydroponics is not new, in fact it is recorded that the Mayans and Aztecs built hydroponic gardens on rivers. I can only imagine, a real sea of Green, or river, or whatever.

Hydroponics is an easy and fast way to produce Hydroponic Marijuana. Both beginners and experienced growers enjoy using hydroponics because it increases growth rates and yields. Hydroponic Marijuana can be harvested up to a few weeks earlier and is the best method of growing Marijuana, if you want some Bud to smoke fast.

To get started growing Hydroponic Marijuana, you will need to choose a hydroponic system. There are two systems to choose from, which are active and passive. There is a simple difference, an active hydroponic system delivers nutrients using a mechanical system, and a passive hydroponic system delivers nutrient solution non-mechanically.

Hydroponic gardens do need to be monitored, so if you plan on being gone often, you may want someone to come and keep your garden healthy or at least viable while you are away. If this is not an option, your best bet may be a soil garden. There are Hydroponic systems available that will automatically supply nutrients to your Marijuana plants. These systems, however, are usually expensive. There are many creative ways to create your own Hydroponic Marijuana grow system using household items.

Hydroponic Marijuana is an efficient and easy way to grow an impressive size yield. Hydroponics is great for indoor growers who are just starting out, or cultivators that have been growing for years. It is a different, unique and rewarding way to grow Marijuana. Plus, who wouldn’t like a fresh supply of Organic Hydroponic Marijuana. I know I would!

Pot Smokers The Time Is Near

 IN NOVEMBER, Massachusetts voters approved Question 2, a ballot initiative that eliminates criminal penalties for possessing up to an ounce of marijuana. Pot smokers carrying small amounts of marijuana will no longer be subject to arrest or the ancillary penalties associated with it, such as loss of professional licenses and impairment of educational and employment opportunities. Instead they will face no more than confiscation of the drug and a $100 civil fine.

Shortly before Question 2 passed, Mexican President Felipe Calderon proposed legislation that in some ways goes further. Under Calderon’s proposal, anyone possessing up to two grams of marijuana or opium, half a gram of cocaine, 50 milligrams of heroin, or 40 milligrams of methamphetamine would face no criminal penalties as long as he agreed to enter treatment. (Otherwise, he could get up to three and a half years in prison.) The treatment requirement was enough to win the support of U.S. drug czar John Walters, who declared, “I don’t think that’s legalization.”

Just as Massachusetts and Mexico were moving to reduce penalties for drug possession, the British government shifted in the other direction, reclassifying marijuana, a Class C “soft” drug since 2004, as a more serious Class B drug. Prime Minister Gordon Brown ignored the advice of drug policy experts in making the change, which he said was necessary to “send a message” to Britain’s youth about the “lethal” hazards of increasingly potent pot.

Still, moving marijuana back to Class B may have few practical consequences. As before, people caught with small amounts of marijuana will receive warnings the first time around. A second offense can result in a citation and fine, while a third offense theoretically can lead to arrest and jail. But since there is no central record of warnings, police will not necessarily know how many slaps on the wrist a smoker has received.
