Scientific Findings
Marijuana has been shown to have anti-oxidant properties and actually inhibits the growth of tumors.(1)
In a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study, medical cannabis was effective in reducing pain and sleep disturbance in patients with multiple sclerosis. (2)
“These responses are the most impressive to me,” says Sulak, who practices at Maine Integrative Healthcare in Manchester. Maine is one of 20 states, along with the District of Columbia, where medical marijuana is legal. “With inflammatory bowel disease, we’ll see patients who were at death’s door turn around dramatically.” (3)
Opiates such as morphine and codeine are the most commonly used drugs for acute pain, but often result in debilitating side effects like nausea, sedation, and dependency. Cannabis can provide similar treatment without these adverse side effects. (4)
There is evidence that cannabis use among Hepatitis C patients who are undergoing treatment has been beneficial by helping them maintain adherence to the challenging medication regiment. (5)
Results from our analysis suggest that subjects with bipolar disorder and history of CUDs demonstrate significantly better neurocognitive performance, particularly on measures of attention, processing speed, and working memory. (6)
Cannabinoids have pain relieving effect in cancer patients and may inhibit the growth of tumor cells. (1)
Oncologists have favorable opinions on the use of marijuana to prevent vomiting in cancer chemotherapy patients. (6)
Cannabis extracts improved intractable neurogenic symptoms such as pain, impaired bladder control, muscle spasms, and spasticity. (8)
The DEA’s Administrative Law Judge, Francis Young: “In strict medical terms marijuana is far safer than many foods we commonly consume.”(9)
“Smoked cannabis was well tolerated and effectively relieved chronic neuropathic pain from HIV-associated sensory neuropathy.”(10)
More than 6,500 reports and journal articles support the use of cannabis as medicine, including studies commissioned by the US government, which currently does not support legalization.(11)

What is the best way to grow my Rare Dankness™ genetics?
If you are a hydro grower we suggest –
Hydro Recipe:
Drip, Flood, Hand Water (Rockwool, Rock, Aero)
Advanced Nutrients Sensi Grow and Sensi Bloom A&B
Veg should start around 300 ppm’s and max out around 800-1000ppms before flipping to flower. Ph should be kept at 6.0 for veg.
Flush 1 water cycle with plain water before flipping into flower and inbetween reservior changes for best results. Exchange reservior with fresh Nutes each week.
Week 1: 950-1050 ppm’s A&B Bloom
Week 2: 1100-1150 ppm’s A&B Bloom and 1 oz of Big Bud per 20 gallons
Week 3: 1200-1300 ppms A&B Bloom 1 ½ oz Big Bud per 20 gal
Week 4-5: 1300-1400ppms (MAX 1500) A&B Bloom 1oz Overdrive per 20 gal
Week 6: 1100ppm A&B Bloom 1oz Overdrive per 20 gal
Week7: 600-1000ppm’s A&B Bloom (Start Plain Water flushing 15-19 days before Harvest for Best flavor) It may be recirculated.
Week 8-10 Plain Water flush no reuse of water. Idealy whatever the ppms of the water source going in will be within 50 ppm coming out.
If you are a dirt grower, we suggest –
THE MOONSHINE MIX
The original moonshine mix called for a full bag of Fox Farm Ocean Forest organic soil, a half bag of Fox Farm planting Mix with bat guano and a half of a bag of Fox Farm Light warrior with additional dry nutrients provided by Peace of Mind and a few added amendments. The key to this mix was to master the wet/ dry cycle and learning the key times to transplant. It was an expensive mix but it worked for almost every strain I’ve ever grown from after cloning to harvest. A few tweaks and additional amendments and I’ve developed a mix that works just as well and allows for a few well timed feedings to increase growth rates.
This is the final mix for Flowering, mix and allow soil to sit for 7 days before transplanting. For best results: final transplant 8-10 days before flowering. Pot size should be based on plant size. Less than a foot tall without many leads = small pot. Big 3 ft tall monster bush before flower = 7-10 gal bin.
1 bag of Fox Farm Happy Frog potting soil ½ bag Fox Farm Ocean Forest ½ bag of Black Gold organic soil 2 lbs of earth worm castings. 5 gallons of Chunky / Coarse perilite 1 cup greensand 1 cup dolomite lime (powder) 1 small coco fiber brick 2 cups Peace of Mind Fruit and Flower
For 90% of plants this mix will need only Ph’d (6.7) water through the entire flower cycle. For the other 10% of heavy feeders I recommend feeding at week 3 through 5.
For this feeding per 5 gal of pre ph’d 7.0 water.
Week 3: 2 tblspn of Age Old Organics Bloom ½ oz Maxicrop seaweed 1oz of Mother Earth Tea bloom ½ oz B1 thrive alive bloom
Week 4 & 5 4 tblspn Age Old Organics Bloom 1 oz Maxicrop seaweed 2oz Mother Earth Tea Bloom 1/2 oz B1 thrive alive bloom When feeding make sure 20% of what you put in is peeing out the bottom. Start flushing 12-17 days before harvesting.
