Well, I didn’t grow the actual marijuana… (Really!) I just learned from those who do.

If you’re an indoor orchid grower looking to get the most cutting edge info on setting up an indoor growing operation, be it a small shelf, a movable rack, all the way to a stripped out house, you can learn everything you need to know by checking out the pot growing sites which have sprouted up like, er, weeds on the web. Just do a search for “pot grow indoors”, and you’ll be inundated with site names like “weedsthatplease.com, mellowgold.com, and marijuanapassion.com.” These sites are full of great info for controlling temperature, lighting, humidity (I think cannabis prefers lower humidity), air movement, etc., plus getting rid of smells (which shouldn’t be a problem for most slipper species, except at least my kolopakingii). There are plans and schematics for timing circuits to control every aspect of growing. One site I came across described how this guy set up an amazing grow operation in a hollowed out standard office file cabinet, complete with misting, lights, and odor elimination. It was extremely impressive.

Counter to the stoner stereotype, these sites are populated by very serious and knowledgeable people who obviously have some technical know-how, and are quite helpful to their fellow growers. These guys have really worked out pot growing to a science. You really can learn a lot from their creative methods to reach a (literal) gardening high, and escape detection by the law. They are certainly a very, very devoted bunch.

Maybe more devoted than orchid growers? Nah…
