The only time I ever grew it was during the summer as a 15 year old teenager in WNY.
I planted a few plants on my neighbors adjacent property. If you can picture a 5’ clearing in the middle of a couple acres of maple saplings. The other was a 4’ clearing in a small field.
They never got more than about 3-4’ tall and just started to bud out. Then I pulled them out of the ground(roots and all) and hung them upside down in a hefty trash bag in the upstairs of the barn.
It was some nasty stuff to smoke. A little harsh as Bill Murray would say.
The first plants we grew were pretty bad but I just wanted to convert them to oil. I wasn’t going to use it to get high. This summer’s crop was a strain a cousin obtained from Denmark. He didn’t eliminate the males so we have a bucket of seeds. It auto-flowered and we had to harvest early. It’s in a box in the corner of the basement. A friend tried it and approved. She wanted to know how to grow it (ph, light, water). I told her to stick the seeds in dirt and then stick the seedlings in the ground.
