Went to a surprise party near Vancouver a few years ago. The surprise was this mysterious medical marijuana grower on the redwood deck outside the party house.
The guy was built like a tank but had a very friendly face. He was wearing sunglasses even though sun was nowhere to be seen. All the while, the dude was rolling Cheech and Chong joints crammed with a quarter ounce or more of freshly-ground BC marijuana each.
No sooner did he roll, lick, light and pass his marijuana phatties, but he’d reach into an industrial-size ziplock, yank out a handful of sticky, perfectly-manicured reddish-green buds, and start grinding more bud. This guy was a human machine, manufacturing huge blunts! Over the course of the party, his weed was responsible for rocketing dozens of brains into outer space.

I’d bet you’re as stoked as I am that the hydroponics industry has given us powerful technology so we can grow the most valuable plants indoors.
Indoor hydroponics gardening is even more impressive when you realize that your plants evolved for millions of years to grow only in soil outdoors. Growers could only grow from spring to autumn. They often lost crops to insects or climate, no matter how hard they worked.
Today, you and I grow potent, large buds…without soil, indoors, every month of the year, no matter what the weather’s like outside. It gets you to wondering about all those people who contributed to the success and pleasure hydroponics gives us. Just how did we get the power to make indoor growing far more productive and predictable than outdoor growing?
HYDROPONICS PAST
KINGS AND PIONEERS
To answer that question, you look back nearly 3,000 years to a place we now call Iraq. Back then it was called Babylon, the cradle of civilization.
Babylonian King Nebuchadnezzar II was bored with growing things in the ground like humans had always done, so he built the “Hanging Gardens of Babylon,” featuring massive “live architecture” arrangements of rare trees and plants.
The King’s engineers even devised a complicated pumping system to quench the garden’s 80,000 gallon per day thirst.
Centuries later, near what we now call Mexico City, the Aztecs placed handcrafted “floating gardens” in Lake Texcoco. In Europe during the 1400s, famed inventor Leonardo da Vinci studied how plants take in minerals from water.

Hydroponics medical marijuana growers have a love-hate relationship with hydroponics pH meters, and for good reason.
Medical Marijuana plants’ roots can’t absorb all the essential nutrients your plants need unless the root zone environment and nutrients water are in a narrow range of pH. People argue about what range that is, but general agreement pegs it at 5.7-6.3.
Problem is, in most places, the water you get from the tap, rivers, rain, wells, reverse osmosis or elsewhere is not guaranteed to be in that ideal range. Out of pH range means your plants have nutrient deficiencies that harm their growth and yield.
As we look forward to travel, feasting, and enjoying friends and family during the Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays, hydroponics medical marijuana growers can claim a special connection to Thanksgiving…and some very special reasons to be thankful.
Thanksgiving history is most accurately understood as Native Americans generously providing life-saving assistance to the immigrant pilgrims who came to the “North American” continent from England in the 1600s. Without Native American help, the pilgims would have frozen, starved and died off.

As a medical marijuana “activist” who’s done his share of sign-carrying, yelling political slogans, and getting hit by batons and doused with pepper spray at rallies, I feel solidarity for all grassroots protests—including Occupy Wall Street, UC Davis students, the Tea Party, and other freedom movements worldwide.
I mean, really, who isn’t at least a little bit frustrated and worried these days? We might not all agree with everything they say or how they present their messages, but we sure as hell understand why Occupy Wall Street (OWS) and Tea Party protesters complain that a small, ultra-powerful group of people calls the shots.
From left to center to right, all sides of the political spectrum agree we’re getting ripped off, stepped on, taken advantage of by greedy people and organizations.
Astonishingly, every time you go into your local hydroponics store and look at nutrient companies’ product labels you’re being robbed of the truth and being forced to make a decision with incomplete information you would need to make the right choice.
That’s right, you don’t have the right to know the truth or what’s really in the product you’re paying for.
But then, under close observation you notice both of the labels have exactly the same ingredients listed on them. One of the bloom enhancers is a little more money than the other so you think, “Hey I’ll save the extra money and buy the one that costs less,” which under normal circumstances would be the right thing to do.
Only problem is… the one that was a little more money contained a whole lot more ingredients that you weren’t aware of because they weren’t listed on the label. The reality is the other bloom enhancer – the one you didn’t chose – would have actually given you significantly bigger flowers and yield.
Moreover, the bloom enhancer you didn’t chose would easily do this for you because it contained an additional twenty amino acids, citric and ascorbic acid. Plus a whole bunch of other goodies that were not allowed to be put on the label under any circumstances in any way.
Let me show you exactly what I’m talking about: Here’s a before photo of an Advanced Nutrients Big Bud label and after – the state regulators stripped down version…
