PURPLE PASSION— Oaksterdam Media photos by Rollin A. Bigolbud

These pictures are from our medical Marijuana garden last year. This is a strain that was created from a "Purple Craze" clone crossed with pollen from a strain called "Medical Breakthrough". We have decided to name this new strain "Purple Passion" and are working to make clones available in Oakland. The plants pictured are all being grown outdoors under natural conditions and with completely organic fertilizers to ensure peak potency and quality. Personally I believe no Marijuana in the world compares in medicinal strength to outdoor organic medical Marijuana from California. Outdoor Marijuana growing requires a much lower investment, is simple enough for any beginner, and even offers higher yields compared to indoor.

Organic fertilizers will produce a cleaner medicine and rarely burn plants like chemical fertilizers can. Snoop thinks the O.G. in O.G. Kush stands for original gangster, not true, it stands for Organic. If that indo chronic is making ya choke best back up off of it and - check and see if it's O.G. !!!Organic fertilizers that I use include: Bat Guano, Chicken Manure, Bone Meal, Compost, and Liquid Fish Emulsion, mixed with potting soil and plain old yard dirt these ingredients will grow amazing outdoor Marijuana. For indoor growing do not use yard dirt or compost, these ingredients could be infected with bugs, just use organic potting soil and organic liquid fertilizers. Several fertilizers on the market today try to look like they are organic but are actually not. When you look closely at the ingredients they include things like – Ammonium Nitrate or Phosphate, Phosphoric Acid, or Urea. These chemicals are not organic ingredients at all. In fact most of these chemical fertilizers are made from petroleum byproducts and personally I would like to avoid inhaling anymore of those.

One of the best things about medical Marijuana is that it's just a weed and almost grows itself. So if you're a patient, go to your local dispensary, club or cooperative, find out about your local Marijuana codes, buy a few seedlings or clones and grow your own!!!
