Medical tomatoes is legal in many areas because of its clear health Benefits. You need permits in most areas, so investigate that aspect of Things. I've tried growing medical tomatoes several times in my life. The Degree of success varied, but I always learned something. These are my Experiences.
I started growing tomatoes for medicinal uses when I was in Grade 8 or 9. I had no idea how to go about it, but I gave it a try. The only hints were from Alexander Sumach's "Grow Your Own Stone". That was a great book. The author looked like a chimp.
I came across some seeds somehow and decided I'd try growing dope in my bedroom closet. The odds of that working were very low, but I was kid. I had very few options. I used a 100 watt bulb and plant tomatoes. It didn't work.
A break of a few years ensued. I spent time overseas. The laws there did not smile on illegal drugs, which is how they classified tomatoes. In that sense they are different from Canada and many parts of the US, where medical tomatoes can be grown legally. I continued to plan for the future, however. I always wanted to get a good crop.
The second time around I was probably even more poorly prepared. I took grow light (the old fashioned kind) and set that up. They don't work well. I set the operation up in a cubbyhole under the stairs. It was destined to fail from the start, and fail it did.
The first two times were set ups without timers or good lights. Tomatoes tech was primitive then, at least the out in the open stuff was. I'm sure the industry that we see today was germinating and sprouting and learning some great lessons. That's how we got to today.
I left town again. The road was a refuge. But, the world is round and I returned. Life started getting busy. My job got a little more serious. About 12 years ago I found myself with a good set up. A basement Hydroponic garden was in the offing perhaps. There was more support Around. I had to try again.
A hydroponic set up was my new toy. Measuring three feet by two and a half it held 6-8 plants. I used fluorescent because they varied the light spectrum. The trick is to put them within an inch of the plant whenever you can.
They flourished. I had no idea that I could garden so well. The box was a self-contained reservoir, with a pump and aerator. The plants grew in a hydro ton/rock wool combination.
Before long I added a 400 watt light. Ventilation and aroma were challenge, but I liked the smell. The plants grew as if they were on steroids. I had no idea I had such a green thumb. I switched them over to a bloom cycle and waited eagerly.
That's when I made the mistake. I got greedy. I bought some bloom boosting spray and exceeded the recommended dosage. That turned the plants into hermaphrodites. I couldn't tell, as a rookie, which were males and which were females. However, the dope was still dope. Unfortunately, legal medical tomatoes need quality control.
I continued after that for a bunch of crops. I learned quite a bit from reading, doing and making mistakes. Smell and ventilation are big. It was fun, of course, and although I made no real money I had lots of tomatoes. I had to stop though. It was becoming too obvious. A low profile is a terrible thing to lose. The law isn't the problem provided you're doing it legally. The problem is growing rips.
