Tried and True Methods to Grow Big Plants . by Jay Richardson , contributing writer
If I get a friend request on Facebook from someone I don ’ t know , it is usually a Russian chatbot posing as an attractive woman who wants me to send gift cards . Don ’ t get me wrong , I send gift cards , but I don ’ t generally accept friend requests from people I don ’ t know or barely know . My Facebook friends are actually my real-life friends . To me , social media is like living in a 1980s college party house . If you limit the party to friends and people you know , everything is cool , but as soon as you open the door and let a bunch of strangers in , everything goes to hell . Before you know it , your furniture is broken , and someone is peeing in your kitchen sink .
A couple of weeks ago , I logged onto my page and saw a friend request from Dr . Green Thumb .

If you want to check it out , you can find the chat group on Facebook by searching for Dr . Green Thumb Official Growers Group .

Anyone who is rude or promoting scams is quickly removed , so if you want to see a new place to get information and education regarding marijuana , look for the page .

Of those brands , I have already grown a couple of plants , and I can verify that they are the real deal . You can find the seeds online at https :// drgreenthumb . com . The seeds are also available at several brick-and-mortar locations in Missouri , including KC Grow Depot in Gladstone , where you will find the most extensive variety of seeds in the state . Canna Corner in Wright City and Higher
Nutrition in Warrenton are also distributors . The staff at these locations will be happy to provide you with any information you need to have a successful growing experience .
Throughout my lifetime , I have had a knack for good timing , and things just kind of line up without much effort on my part . The friend request from Dr . Green Thumb is an example of that . I was just about ready to get some new seeds so I could teach you guys about a unique marijuana growing method that you may or may not be familiar with . It ’ s called “ Autoflower .”
Traditional marijuana , such as Cannabis Sativa and Cannabis Indica , are what is known as photoperiod or photosensitive . If grown outdoors , the plants flower in the fall when the days shorten and fewer hours of daylight are available . When we grow them indoors , we can do this artificially by going
