Hi @tamaralovelace!Thanks for taking a look and commenting I'm at a critical time juncture with these plants. If they are male they must be killed immediately or they will pollinate all the females and produce a tonne of seeds. I don't want to get into seed production with this particular garden but I also don't want to be over zealous with my knife either. LOL!

Ooo timing is everything then! I'm really interested in the process of growing and also using the oils you mentioned on my son Rodney. It isn't fully legalized here in FL yet but I have no doubt it will be soon. Thanks for sharing your knowledge!!

Oh, it would be a wonderful crop for you to be able to grow for yourself and Rodney. Is it legal for medical reasons already?

Yes, just recently! I'm sure we'll be following along in the footsteps of the rest of the world eventually lol...good ol' Florida, always a few years behind the times :D I think it would be a wonderful addition to the medicine chest!

Rodney would likely have no trouble getting his medical license for it.
Here in Canada, we have 2 tiers of licensing. One is a license that lets you buy cannabis and the other let's you grow. A person can designate a care-giver to grow on their behalf. If FL has the same laws, Rodney could apply and designate you as his caregiver and grower. If he did get a license it would at least let him have access to topicals and oils for pain and sleeping.

Yes, that's exactly what he needs. He was having trouble sleeping and when we talked with the doctor, he said because of the brain injury, narcotic sleeping pills were contraindicated, leaving not too many options. He then prescribed trazadole an old anti depression med. I am really not much of a pill fan. He has some naturals but nothing medical wise. I need to look into that.
