In this clear, concise, and well-organized how-to on cultivating marijuana [Editor's note: not that we advocate any such thing], host Mike Corral explains and demonstrates the pot growing regimen from germination to harvest and even to storage of the yield, clearly explaining tricky but vital matters like sexing the young plants (as in some social situations, males are undesirable) and creating airtight storage vessels through the use of drinking straws. Central to the presentation is the technique of pinning the growing plant to the soil to promote higher yields and make better use of available space, a gambit which also keeps the plants from towering over one's garden fence and away from prying eyes. Other helpful tips include covering incurable timber rot with tape and the use of chicken, horse and rabbit manure--and lots of it--to achieve a "sweet" pH in the soil. Medical information in some states, subversive if well-intentioned propaganda in others, this is an excellent guide to cultivating marijuana. The producers intend this video for use in producing medical marijuana, but one suspects their advice will be appreciated by other interested parties, too. Highly recommended--in fact, smokin'.
