DISTILLED WATER
Some growers report purified or distilled water helps their plants grow faster. Perhaps due to sodium and heavy metals found in hard water that are not present in purified water. Hard water tends
to build up alkaline salt deposits in soil that lockup trace minerals, and cause iron, copper and zinc deficiencies. There are several types of purified water, but many are
not free of minerals that could be causing salt buildup over an extended period of time. Tap water comes in two flavors. Hot and cold. The cold pipe has less calcium and sodium buildup in it, and should be
freer of sediment once the water has been turned on and allowed to flow for 30 seconds. Hot water will have rust, lead deposits, and lots of sodium and calcium, so much so, you will see it easily. Use only the
amount of hot water needed to make the water the correct temperature (70-80 F). Tap water filtered through a carbon (charcoal) filter will be free of chlorine and most large particles, but will still contain
dissolved solids such as sodium and heavy metals (lead, arsenic, nickel, etc.). Purified bottled water will be either Reverse Osmosis or some form of carbon/sediment filtered water. When purchasing water at a
store, unless it says RO or Distilled, don’t bother buying it. It could still have the same dissolved solids and heavy metals your tap water has.
BIRTH CONTROL PILLS
A solution of one pill to one gallon of water has been reported to cause increased growth speed in tomato plants. It is possible this will help herb plants too. One treatment administered before
flowering and one administered a few weeks before harvesting might help the plant mature faster. One grower told a story of the same type of plants, one administered the estrogen grew to 20 feet, while the other was 7 feet. This may be purely anecdotal, but it may work. Try it and report back to us on results.
SEED AND BUD STORAGE
Use a seal-a-meal to hermetically seal the bag with no air inside. Freeze or refrigerate, and bud and seed can be kept for years this way. Rap seeds in a paper towel to absorb moisture. Keep them
in the freezer, and pull out only as many seeds as you need, then pop them back in the freezer quickly.
A FINAL COMMENT
Good results can be had even in what appear to be rather marginal situations. (i.e.: a four inch pot in a room with a skylight.) With the minimum of: well drained medium, good light with
ventilation, regular application of a complete fertilizer, pest control, and avoidance of detection, anyone can take a viable seed to maturity. later. Your branch is now well pollinated and should show signs of

REMEMBER, it’s up to you to inform your friends, family, neighbors and co-workers that we have been lied-to, cheated,
relieved of freedoms, happiness, privacy, civil rights and liberties by the WOD. Hemp prohibition is a political issue driven by big business interests and it’s damn well time we turn these policies around through extreme civil-disobedience. Grow it
everywhere, they can’t get it all... Hemp laws are immoral. Hemp can save the forests, the planet and us. Prohibition laws
create crime and black markets. Taxing drugs would pay for treatment of addicts. 350,000 people die every year from
smoking tobacco. 150,000 people die every year from drinking alcohol. 0 people die every year from smoking pot.
Cannabis could potentially save .5 million lives every year in the US alone. The CIA is the worlds’ biggest cocaine dealer.
The CIA would rather you smoke crack than pot. The War on Drugs is a campaign of fear and mind control; a war on civil
liberties. Stop political prison sentences in our time. Stop the promotion of poisons and the prohibition of medicines.
Stop the lies.
Tell the truth.
Legalize It!
