The B.O.G. Method of Indoor Organic Growing.

Hello to everyone. :sunglasse

Perhaps some of you know me from either Overgrow or ICMAG as I have been posting my simple methods there for years. Recently I released my book, "Bonanza of Green", which outlines my method. In my book it is stated that you should, "get online or be left behind". If you are here to learn then perhaps I can be of some help.

My kind of help is geared mainly for the novice grower who wishes to start indoor growing or to improve the results. Recently I have been on a Sabbatical of sorts. Visiting different styles of grow rooms has enhanced my own knowledge.

Rumors of my demise or death have been greatly exaggerated. To be truthful it was my desire to leave the online world for a time. It was also my desire to start fresh at a place like this. I am honored to be asked by the site to become an online grow guru for you. :X

Let me make it clear that you can't ask me a dumb question because there aren't any. There are only dumb answers and I will be the one guilty of that. Please do feel free to ask privately if your question makes you feel dumb when asked in public. But, know that I don't wish people to feel bad about asking a question in public. We are all ignorant of many things and to ask a question is to admit that we don't know everything. Be humble and ask.

You show your courage when you ask a question that you imagine others will make fun of you for. The "beginners mind" is a buddhist precept saying that to learn you must maintain the attitude of the one who wants to learn. I still learn every day and I still ask questions. My answers are fallible and my knowledge is limited. However, teaching what I have learned from my own experience is sound. My book is concise and the information is sound but it is a beginning only. There is always much more to be discussed.

This is why we are here in this forum. I shall attempt to pass on the information already in my book and more. For many of you who don't know me or my book the obvious first question would seem to be...

What is Bonanza of Green?

It is my method and the name of my book. The book is available at http://www.fsbookco.com/BonanzaOfGreen.html or amazon. The method is a low cost, organic, indoor production line of a sort. Usually done small scale but of any size, requiring a small separate grow area from the flowering area. A 2 room system that can even be done in one closet. The concept is simple really.

Have any of you read my book or seen the recent review in Heads? My friend Jorge Cervantes has been very kind toward me. We both love each others book. I highly recommend his, "Marijuana Horticulture" to be read right after my starter book. The 2 together make a great pair!

By the way... my nick name is Bushy but you can call me BOG if you're a friend. Hopefully we can all be friends. I don't wish to step on anyone's toes.

Skip Stone is the author of the definative "Hippies from A-Z" and another good friend of mine as well as Jorge whom you know well.

Remember that "One Love" is found in the Cool forum right here. BOG

Welcome Bushy one.

I am new here and perhaps this thread should have been placed the methods forum. So many forums here to select from.

The idea of being a sponsor here has been presented to me. The site looks great and the attitude here seems peaceful for the most part.

Not too many responses to the poll but we will see what it shows. You can probably guess my opinion.

In reality I don't care how anyone grows. Many people have asked me how I grow and how they should grow. Most books give several methods and expect the new grower to choose one for him or herself. Often new growers getting started just want to be told how to start.

Persuading and giving a simple system as a starter is a valid way to help our movement. The movement to change the world. First we legalize pot!

Pot is the peace herb and the finest medical herb on the planet. It is a religious sacrament for so many, and for so long. The repression of this holy herb is a dastardly crime indeed. So this injustice must end and by growing we help to save the planet. Perhaps it's not too late.

So, what is my book about? It's about my simple method. Shall we begin?

I'm two days into flowering indoors when would be the best time to take cuttings?

Thread moved to Growing Techniques forum.

Yes, BOG would like you to buy his book if you like his method, which is great for the beginner and those doing smaller grows.

I can testify that not only does it yield well, but the result (if using good genetics) is outstanding medical quality smoke.

Plug over...

BTW, BOG has kindly agreed to share his knowledge and experience on our forums. I respect his opinions and I hope he can help many here improve their grows. Please welcome him and ask him any questions you might have (in separate threads).

BMan, I want some people to buy my book but only those who it would benefit. Let me say again that my book is a starter book for someone who is either considering giving indoor growing a try or for new growers learning how.

My book is a hobby project that grew out of years of online teaching. It became difficult to keep writing the same things over and over after a time. Others suggested that I write a book and it was always in the back of my mind. There are many illustrations in the book making it fun to have around.

Perhaps by showing some of my work people will be more able to decide if my book is for them or not. BOG

Sorry, I moved the thread yet again, into your new forum, BOGLAND!

Good luck with this forum. I hope many are able to learn from you.

Everyone welcome BOG to his new forum!

Thanks Skip. See you in the COOL forum soon. BOG

How much light is lost when growing in a bigger room, where the walls aren't right next to them?
