HELP! Posted September 9, 2011 Report Share Posted September 9, 2011 First I love being an MMJ patient it has helped me get off of every nasty pill they throw at me but at this point I dunno what to do, care givers need to be compensated some how, I can't afford to, can't grow for myself just irritated at this point unsure what to do, sorry had ta vent! Really don't want to go back to those poisons the docs keep shoving down my throat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SparklyBuds Posted September 9, 2011 Report Share Posted September 9, 2011 Man I know it's tough sometimes. Both of us are on disability (married couple), lot of pain, little money. Started growing with a T-5, tiny airy buds & not much of them. Spider mites, heat, moved the location, killed the mites, finally able to get a 1000w ballast. We've had yard sales, husband scraps metal from junk piles, I've sold stuff on eBay before, whatever we can do legally to earn a little $$. The best I can say is if you have a skill you could offer to people a trade of some kind ? Sometimes people on here are looking for electricians, builders etc. If you can get to farmers markets or any other events to meet people, or to a compassion club or whatever, some people are willing to help once they know you. Best wishes! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MightyMightyMezz Posted September 9, 2011 Report Share Posted September 9, 2011 Go old school low-budget and hang some shop lights. You'd be surprised what can be done with minimal technology. I remember my first grow under two four foot tubes: Ruderalis x Indica - it turned out to be fine smoke. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smokey J Posted September 9, 2011 Report Share Posted September 9, 2011 Some caregivers offer meds free of compensation. Check the caregivers forum to find one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smokey J Posted September 9, 2011 Report Share Posted September 9, 2011 and you can always try the window grow to get started. Just find a window that faces south. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

taby Posted September 10, 2011 Report Share Posted September 10, 2011 I am in a very similar situation. I went through all the steps to get card. Have all my papers signed and ready to send in and can't find a caregiver who will work with me. I have messaged several on here and I guess when they see low income they run the other way. I have no idea how to grow and don't know if I could afford the start up. Good luck to ya in finding someone. SSDI just doesn't cover enough....

Ionic7 Posted September 10, 2011 Report Share Posted September 10, 2011 No mans land! Which is probably part of the problem! Na its hard every where im on a fixed income in oakland county and my cg just stopped growing, had a 1oz/per month free deal which let me use my fixed income to pay for bills and what not, he would not even take money if i tried to donate to him, defecates so screwed up from the leo and everything its hard man.
