New (OLD) GARDEN UPDATE VIDEO
Hey guys,
I was just going thru my You-Tube account, and I found this video tour of my garden back in December 2016.
For some reason, it was never published live. Well, I gave it the once over and it is now ready to be viewed for the first time!
So sit back, and enjoy the tour!

Seed Sales - Starting
Hello everyone- Jason's Indoor Guide relocated to Denver, Colorado in late 2015.
I am now happy to announce we will be offering some of the best cannabis genetics in the world for sale. Oh, if you only knew the stories each one of these packs of seeds could tell.
As a well established hydroponic gardening site in a cannabis friendly city, I bump into seed breeders ALL THE TIME. Seriously, I meet them ALL about twice a year at the Indo Expo (the industry wide cannabis conventions).
I've got two giant boxes FULL of rare genetics, old school genetics, and also cutting edge genetics from today's top seed breeders. If you perhaps grow your own, you should really check them out!

Hydroponics
The ultimate solution to eliminate the cost of your hydroponic nutrients: Imagine a hydroponic system that does not require you to buy any nutrients, does not require you to make your own compost, and does not require you to brew your own nutrient tea. Seriously! No cost and no effort as far as providing nutrients to your plants! Plus, at the end of the gardening cycle you harvest all of your garden vegetables, PLUS YOU HARVEST FISH from the system....
Aquaponics
This solution is aquaponics. If you are serious about producing all of your own food and being self-sufficient, this is the ultimate solution for reducing expenses (as much as possible), reducing the total amount of work required, and maximizing the productivity of your gardening efforts. I have been gardening for over 24 years, and it is the perfect food production solution in my opinion.
Besides mastering how to make high quality compost, learning aquaponics is one of the top 3 things you can do to increase your garden productivity, reduce your total costs, and reduce your total work. The product that I learned from is called Aquaponics4you. With all of my hydroponic gardening experience, the first time I came across the Aquaponics4you product I knew immediately that it was something very special! Place an aquaponics system outdoors and use the sun instead of grow lights, and you have reduced every garden expense to nearly ZERO!
The Same System/ 10 Weeks Later!
