You may have heard the term "hydroponic" on the nightly news after federal agents busted another major homegrown marijuana operation, or you may have heard it from a pothead neighbor with the strange lights glowing from his backyard shed. The good news is you can grow your own innocent, edible plants hydroponically - tomatoes, lettuce, strawberries and a plethora of flowers all grow well. Hydroponics is the method of cultivating plants in water, without the use of soil. The concept isn't new. Hydroponic technology dates back to pre-Christian Rome. Today however, many countries are growing their crops in greenhouses without soil because they can achieve outstanding results through a variety of extreme climates. Canada will grow hydroponic tomatoes throughout the winter months, whil...

Lifelong gardener and hydroponic guru Pam Johnson sums up hydroponic gardening this way: "You have to play God." Thanks to the hydroponic approach-a method of gardening that accelerates propagation and maintains plants with substrates other than soil- the success of a crop is solely in the hands of the gardener all year round. Over the past few years, hydroponic gardening has made the leap from college horticulture greenhouses to the average Joe's living room as a sustainable alternative to traditional outdoor gardening. Hydroponic seed starters and specialty hydroponic nutrients have crept onto mainstream store shelves.

Among the many difficulties with estimating the size of the cannabis industry is that suitable methodologies for estimating large-scale outdoor illegal drug production in developing countries cannot be used to estimate indoor production in industrialized countries. This article proposes a new approach that overcomes some of these difficulties. The case study is a mature cannabis cultivation industry, located in the province Quebec, Canada. Starting from capture-recapture estimates of the prevalence of growers, the approach combines police and fieldwork data sources on the dynamics of the cultivation industry to correct for typical errors in the assumed productivity rates of different kinds of cultivation sites. Using three different approaches to productivity (ounces-per-plant, yield-pe...

Considering that the ever-brilliant British physicist Steven Hawking recently announced that we must colonize space as soon as possible to ensure the long-term survival of our species, it's particularly unsettling walking into Michael Oliveri's solo show "Ultraviolet Acquiescence and Deep Space Drip Culture," on display at Wood Street Galleries, Downtown. From the looks of it, you'd think Oliveri and Hawking already have begun working on the project.
