I’ve been dealing with type one diabetes for the last 40 years and I was also diagnosed with multiple sclerosis 3 years ago. I’m fully disabled now and not working, but I’m still able to manage my grow, with a few accessories and modifications. I’ve been slowly losing the ability to stand up to work on my plants, especially any inside my elevated flowering tent. It’s on top of a platform so I’m not kneeling down, which is hard for me to get up from.

I’m using a small chair to sit on while I work inside my small propagation/veg tent. It’s not setup on a platform like the big flowering tent though. I can get into work both sides of the big tent, but only one side of the small tent.

I will be moving everything to the garage in the spring, after building a purpose built grow room. The wife doesn’t have enough candles or air fresheners to keep the smell down when I grow in the kids old bedroom inside.

I can offer some tips and tricks for growing on a budget and dealing with multiple disabilities.. I am not an expert because I just started growing in 24, but I worked in industrial sanitation and industrial maintenance for 16 years before becoming completely disabled and unable to work. I did home construction and residential electrical work for many of my younger years too. My garage grow room is going to be built to accommodate my most limiting disability, even if I have to make it from scraps, which I have done since the beginning of my growing journey.

Thanks my friend, I will eventually be in the wheelchair full time so hopefully I can get it built while I’m able. Any suggestions for making things easier for a chair bound grower, which I am likely to be in a few years?

If you catch it early enough, and it looks like you did, you can usually just carefully remove the affected leaves. I suggest you spray the remaining leaves with a water/milk mixture, to prevent any spores from spreading that could have fallen off the already affected leaves. Also I would get another fan or two, to get the air circulation way up in there. You can avoid most issues with PM by having plenty of airflow around the plants, especially whenever the humidity gets too high.
