Urban Grower medical marijuana: Remo's finest.

 Marijuana Grow Videos Seen by Millions! 

Went to a surprise party near Vancouver a few years ago. The surprise was this mysterious medical marijuana grower on the redwood deck outside the party house.

The guy was built like a tank but had a very friendly face. He was wearing sunglasses even though sun was nowhere to be seen. All the while, the dude was rolling Cheech and Chong joints crammed with a quarter ounce or more of freshly-ground BC marijuana each.

No sooner did he roll, lick, light and pass his marijuana phatties, but he’d reach into an industrial-size ziplock, yank out a handful of sticky, perfectly-manicured reddish-green buds, and start grinding more bud. This guy was a human machine, manufacturing huge blunts! Over the course of the party, his weed was responsible for rocketing dozens of brains into outer space.

He introduced himself to me as “Remo.” Was accompanied by his lovely wife Sandy.

His cigar joints tasted like candy and stayed lit easily, burning to white ash...a for-sure sign this guy was a skilled grower. All the other BC bud I’d been smoking was unflushed chemweed that made butane lighter companies rich because the stuff wouldn't stay lit. That BC chemweed tore your lungs out.

Thank the gods that Remo's medical marijuana had smoothness, kind flavor and THC punch like the finest outdoor organic bud...but he'd grown it indoors using synthetic hydroponics nutrients and a space age grow room.

One thing I noticed about him right away: no matter how much he smoked, he never got sloppy, brain-dead, or burnt out. And I just had to ask him how he was able to provide such copious amounts of medicine.

Turns out that Remo was a musician who enjoyed using and growing marijuana medicinally. He wanted to grow more...a lot more.

Then one fateful day, a fellow marijuana grower tells Remo about a new hydroponics company near Vancouver that makes hydroponics nutrients for medical marijuana. Growing, possessing and using medical marijuana had just been legalized in Canada, and Remo was one of the lucky people to qualify as a federally-licensed medical grower.

He tried to find the new nutrients at hydroponics stores, but all they had was the same old 3-part base nutrients and bloom boosters that he’d been using. These old school hydroponics nutrients had problems that frustrated him and limited his plants' potential. He wanted the new stuff!

So Remo drove over to the nutrient company's headquarters, walked in, and found himself chatting with the company founders.

The founders noticed three important things about Remo. One, he had that coveted federal license to grow marijuana. Two, he loved growing and was a hands-on guy who could build professional medical marijuana grow rooms from the ground up, all by himself. Three, he had a heart of gold.

The founders asked Remo what he loved most in life. "Growing marijuana and helping people," he said.

Sandy recalls that Remo had expected to buy the amazing new kind of nutrients and drive home with them. Instead, he drove home with a full grow room’s worth of equipment, and the only hydroponics nutrients ever designed for medical marijuana. The company founders had given it all to him, for free. Remo's marijuana career was born.

Remo built a sealed grow room under the direction of a man who first introduced the concept of sealed grow rooms to Canada. That would be none other than Big Mike Straumietis, co-founder of Advanced Nutrients. 

Pretty soon, Remo was seeing double his former yields. His plants were so healthy that he had to tie up their branches to keep the buds from weighing them to the floor.

Remo and Sandy knew sick and dying Canadians who had a hard time growing their own medicine. Straumietis knew patients too. People were in terrible pain, unable to grow their own meds, or they couldn't afford to. Pretty soon, Advanced Nutrients was helping Remo help patients grow their own medicine. For free.

It was the first and only medical marijuana assistance program sponsored by a hydroponics company. And it kept patients from dying, from having to choose between buying food versus buying hydroponics supplies. Remo and Advanced Nutrients gave people the skills, know-how, and supplies they needed to grow their own meds.

In his role as medical marijuana helper, Remo is a construction engineer, hydroponics expert, rehab counselor, hospice worker and solid gold friend to the many patients who depend on his assistance.

Nowadays, Remo travels the world of marijuana, helping people retrofit their hydroponics grow rooms to max out the weight and potency of their buds. He's often attending international marijuana events, like the biggest pot party in the world: Spannabis, in Barcelona, Spain, at the end of February.

When Remo isn't renovating medical cannabis gardens, attending marijuana events, or growing Viper, Warlock, Blue Cheese, Bubba Kush, OG Kush and other premium marijuana using a grow room so sealed that everything in it is recycled in a closed loop, he's helping people make the most of their hydroponics gardens.

Sandy doesn't use marijuana, but she's helping the NORML Women’s Alliance, or making sure Remo is videotaped and photographed properly, planning hydroponics expos that are way more fun and for-real than Maximum Yield indoor gardening expo events, and campaigning to protect the rights of Canada's medical marijuana growers and patients.

Speaking of video, Remo’s Urban Grower video websites are the most visited marijuana websites in our galaxy. His YouTube videos featuring marijuana news and hydroponics grow room how-to from all over the world have been seen by 16 million people!

Typical Urban Grower fan mail is like: “High shout out to you Remo. I built my entire room from your videos. If you’re ever in my area, come smoke my Kush with me. Couldn’t have done it without you, bro.”

Heading to Spannabis, the Cannabis Cup, or any other major marijuana event and want to hook up with Remo? No problem. Just look for a dark-haired guy with billows of smoke swirling around him, lots of laughter in the house, and his fine connoisseur marijuana.

Remo says the most awesome thing he's learned is that when you grow medical marijuana using hydroponics nutrients and equipment meant for marijuana, you get such generous harvests that you can afford to give medicine away. It's his greatest joy in life...to light up a joint or bowl, and see a stony smile come to people's faces. Any stoner who meets Remo understands immediately why his closest friends say, “Remo’s buds are big, but not as big as his heart.”
